Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Sympathy CAS

Posted on by
10

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. Hope everyone’s weekend is starting out well.

I have a clean and simple card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Bundle. I thought after yesterday’s very involved card I’d do something simple. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #626.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #469.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel. I embossed the panel using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered 2 strips of Very Vanilla cardstock on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the smallest flower from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image using the Peony Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gorgeous Grape Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Prized Peony stamp set in the center of a Very Vanilla panel using Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the small flower from the Prized Peony stamp set over the sentiment, stamping off 3 times, in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the envelope front and 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! Wishes and Wonder for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara Carpenter’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Christmas or Happy Holidays”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wonder & Wishes Bundle for my card today. My design is from Mojo Monday Sketch #549. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper card front to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal I cut a strip of Real Red cardstock using the scalloped edge die from the Peony Dies and adhered it to another panel of Heartwarming Hugs DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sleigh image from the Stampin’ Up! Wishes & Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the deer image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the same panel. I colored the sleigh in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers and the deer in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my North Pole Wonder Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Whisper White panel and cut it out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies, keeping the sentiment to the right.

I adhered the sleigh to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the deer in front of the sleigh using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment below the images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the card front. I tied a small bow using the Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I had stamped, colored and cut out a 2nd deer from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set, so I adhered it next to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the sleigh image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the deer image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Soft Suede Ink and colored it in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Blue Peony for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend?  Normally this is the weekend that we have our quarterly in person team meeting, but under the circumstances we will not be able to meet in person.  Hopefully we will for our next quarterly meeting.  Instead, we will be meeting up together virtually.  It should still be fun.  This was also the weekend I was finally going to be off from work.  Notice I said ‘was’.   Yup, my boss asked me to come in both days to relieve my cashiers so they could take a lunch break, so I’ll be working both days for a couple hours.

So for today’s card I have a super simple fun fold.  I finally got brave and tried making the layered peony.  It’s much easier that it appears when you first look at all the dies. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Global Design Project Challenge #244.  Their theme is CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit.

I also played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #275.  Here is their theme.

I started by cutting 1 1/2″ off the right side of the card front base.  I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Peony Dies for all the following, I cut all the layers of the peony out of a panel of Seaside Spray cardstock.  Using my Sponge Dauber I sponged all the edges of the pieces using Misty Moonlight Ink.  I embossed the pieces using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder then using my Bone Folder I curled the edges of all the pieces.  I layered the pieces one inside the other and adhered them together using Glue Dots.  I cut the center of the peony from a scrap of So Saffron cardstock and brushed some Clear Wink of Stella over it.  I adhered it to the center of the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.   I cut 3 large leaves from a panel of Just Jade cardstock and 3 leaf edges from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  I embossed the leaves using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the Shaded Spruce leaf pieces to the full leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the back of the peony using Glue Dots.

I added some of the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine, from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, to the card front.  I adhered the peony over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink.  I made it into a banner and adhered it to the peony using Glue Dots.  I added a few of the clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Someone stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel.  I stamped the medium peony from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Misty Moonlight Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the left side of a Seaside Spray mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered a small panel of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to the right side of the Seaside Spray mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I then adhered it to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the medium peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of the In Good Taste 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Peony Garden

Posted on by
4

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?  Did anyone do anything fun yesterday?  Does anyone have plans for today?  I’m going into work just to relieve my cashiers so they can take a lunch break.  I’m hoping to only be there for an hour or 2 at the most.

When I buy my stamp sets and accessories, I rarely by a whole suite.  There is always something that I’m sure I won’t use.  That’s NOT the case with the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  I’ve bought quite a few of the Suites this time around.  This catalog is just so awesome.  For today’s card I’ve used a little of everything from the Peony Garden Suite.  My card was inspired by my neighbors flowers.  When I walk out my side door he has these beautiful flowers.  I just figured out what they were.  Here’s what I walk out to everyday (he doesn’t live this close, I zoomed in).

Here is my card inspired by these flowers.

I started by cutting the sides of a Just Jade card front using the Peony Dies.  There is a border die in the set that is absolutely gorgeous.  I then embossed a smaller panel of Just Jade cardstock using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the embossed panel using a couple tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the top of the vellum.  I adhered the matted DSP on top of the doilie using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large peony image from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers and  cut the image out using my Peony Dies.  I adhered a piece of the Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front DSP using Glue Dots.  I adhered the cut peony image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the medium peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Magenta Madness Ink, stamping off twice, over the sentiment.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Magenta Madness mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the small peony image from the Prized Peony stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the image in using my Just Jade and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden 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. Happy Stamping!!
