Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Watercolor

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ve got the day off today and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day. Unfortunately my husband is sick and my daughter is going to work, so I’ll just have to stay in and make some cards. I may run a couple errands just to get out for a bit.

Today and tomorrow’s cards are a CASE from my upline Jaimie. Last week we had our monthly team meeting and she showed us a card using the Water Painters. I have to admit, since I’ve gotten all the Stampin’ Blends Markers I haven’t water colored. That was always my go to for relaxing. I changed my card up a bit from hers, but it’s basically the same. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with my Water Painters and other sets for my card today.

I started with a Shimmery White card front and one of my acrylic blocks. Using my Ink Refills, I put a drop of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya in on the block. Making sure my largest Water Painter was really wet, you might want to have a little bowl of water handy, I lifted some of the Cajun Craze Ink and brushed it across the Shimmery White paper. I did the same with the Pumpkin Pie Ink and the Pale Papaya Ink, blending the inks together in between them. You can either let it dry on it’s own or use setting #1 on your Heat Tool to dry the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink below the brushed ink on an angle. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya card stock to a Cajun Craze card base on an angle.

Using the 4th largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut the inked panel. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock using the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I cut the 4th largest circle using the Layering Circles Dies. From the Shimmery White circle I cut the leaf die using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the Pale Papaya circle to the card front over the cut area. I adhered the scalloped circle over the Pale Papaya making sure the stripes from the brushed ink lined up. I adhered the leaf cut circle die over the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front over the Pale Papaya panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set on either side of the sentiment, coloring the stamp using my Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set, colored the same as I did for the card, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze from the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate With Friends Gorgeous Leaves

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. Happy World Card Making Day. Today’s the perfect day to make some cards and MAIL the cards. We don’t hoard cards, we mail them!!! I hope you can join our Facebook event today. There will be live videos starting at 9am until 5pm along with some giveaways. I’ll be going live at 4pm.

Here is the link to join our World Card Making Day Event. I hope you will join us.

This is the schedule of the Facebook Live Videos for our World Card Making Day Event.

I have a Clean and Simple card for you today. My upline Jaimie sent me a similar one last week and I just loved it so much I had to make it. I’m also using this design for my in person class this coming Tuesday. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. I just love Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake together, they give me such a warm feeling for the fall.

I started by stamping the woodgrain image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on a Crumb Cake card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Create With Friends stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink below the woodgrain image. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin Dimensionals.

Using my Intricate Leaves Dies, I cut the maple leaf die from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the branch die from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock. I adhered the branch to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4′ Faux Suede Trim around the leaf die and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Create With Friends stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the woodgrain image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink across the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves for Fun Fold Friday.

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and I believe Sunday too.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the SAB Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the Double D Challenge this week. Their theme is ‘LEAVES’.

I started by scoring and folding a Sahara Sand card base at 5 1/2″ & 2 3/4″ to make a Z-Fold card. I adhered 2 smaller panels of the Peaceful Prints DSP to the smaller panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I put torn Post-It Notes on the top and bottom of the panel to leave a framed area. I stamped the leaf images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink multiple times. Using my Blending Brushes I added some Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler Ink to the stamped area until I got the color that I wanted. I stamped the small leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink randomly around. I removed the sticky notes frame and stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set on the top of the panel in Old Olive Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the front panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half.

I cut 2 leaves from a panel of Gold & Rose Gold 6 X 6 Metallic Specialty Paper using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves to the stamped panel using Glue Dots. I tied a triple bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the 2 corners. I stamped the small leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the larger leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure it’s lined up behind the front panel.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Inks on the envelope front along with the splotch image in Crushed Curry. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Prints DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and the weekend is right around the corner.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. After taking a summer break, we’re back. Our 1st inspiration photo is Colorful Fall. Here is my card that I was inspired by the photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the beautiful colors of the leaves for my clean and layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us for our challenge #159. How are you inspired by this photo.

I started by randomly stamping the leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink randomly on the panel.

I embossed the panel using my Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Intricate Leaves Dies I cut 1 branch from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock and 3 leaves from panels of Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Hippo & Friends Dies.

I arranges the branch and leaves on the sentiment die cut and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small knot using the 3/8″ Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler and Fresh Freesia Ink around the top of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once, around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I stamped the leaves and splotch images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Inks on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
