SUO191 Thoughts and Prayers

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the #191 Brrr...Baby It’s Cold Outside Challenge at SU-Only Challenges!

The weather here on the East Coast has been extremely cold so I decided to create a card using the Flurry of Wishes stamp set along with a few die cuts and a sentiment from Rose Wonder. We have not had a lot of snow yet, but snowflakes remind me of the cold :-)

I have had the Flurry of Wishes stamp set for over a year and this is the first time I have had a chance to ink it up!  That is one of my goals again for this year- use the stamps that have not seen ink in a while :-)

I am also linking this card to the As You See It #166 “Sparkle”Challenge (it is hard to see the glitter in the background but it is there and the card is very sparkly:-)).

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check out the rest of the Design Team’s samples or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). De-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock with an Embossing Buddy®, ink the snowflake images from Flurry of Wishes and stamp onto the panel.  Once the embossing has cooled, tap the Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink Pad onto a silicone craft mat, lightly spritz with water and press the embossed panel into the ink.  Lift up and repeat the process with Dapper Denim and Island Indigo Classic Ink.

2). Allow the panel to dry and use a Sponge Dauber with the same colors of ink in Step #1 to add additional color to the background.  Add a bit of distressing using the splatter stamp from Awesomely Artistic with Island Indigo Classic Ink.Trim the panel and mount onto an Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

3). Die cut several snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits™ from Whisper White cardstock.

4). Ink the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Island Indigo Classic Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.  Die cut with the Stitched Shaped Framelits™ , use a sponge dauber to apply a bit of Island Indigo Classic Ink around the edges.  Mount onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

5). Add the die cut snowflakes to the card front along with a few Rhinestones to the centers.

6). Finish off the card using Clear Wink of Stella® over the snowflakes.

SUO184 Autumn Kitty

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the #184 “Shape Up!” Challenge at SU-Only Challenges!  We are challenging you to use your favorite punch(s) and/or dies and I decided to use the Cat Punch from the new Holiday Mini.  As soon as I saw this punch, I knew it would be one of my first purchases from the HM- it is so cute and versatile!

I love to watercolor so I paired the Cat Punch with a background create with Autumn Colors and am linking to the INKSpire_Me #318 “Autumn-Halloween Special” Challenge as well as the Word Art Wednesday #300-#301 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Ink the You’ve Got This floral blossom with Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Archival Ink and stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Apply Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.  Create a mask of the flower, mask the initial image and repeat the steps above for two additional blossoms .

2). Using ink from the ink pads along with an AquaPainter™, watercolor the blossoms and background.  I used Crushed Curry for the flower centers, Cajun Craze and Rich Razzleberry for the petals and Bermuda Bay for the background. I also used Stampin’ Write markers in the same colors to add additional shadows and depth.

3). Once you are satisfied with the watercolor, trim the panel and add the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Archival Ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.  Add a bit of splatter with the small splatter image from Timeless Textures with Early Espresso Classic Ink.

4). Trim the panel, mount onto Cajun Craze cardstock, trim again and mount onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  Trim once more and mount onto Cajun Craze cardstock.

5). Stamp the floral scroll stamp from Timeless Textures with Versamark™ ink onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, trim and mount onto Cajun Craze cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

6). Add the stamped floral panel directly to the card front, use the Clear Wink of Stella™ Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the blossoms and the White Gel Pen to add highlights to the flower centers.

7).   Use the Cat Punch with Basic Black cardstock and cut out three cats, layer together and add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Ink/Mediums: Versamark™, Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black, Classic Ink- Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay; Stampin' Write Markers- Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry; Clear Wink of Stella™, White Gel Pen

SUO181 Butterfly Basics- Brick Wall Technique

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the #181 “Butterflies and Dragonflies” Challengeat SU-Only Challenges!  

I wanted to try the Splitcoaststampers TLC650 “Another Brick in the Wall” Technique challenge (see tutorial here) and decided to use the CC647 Color Challenge (including “dessert”).  I am also linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #294-#295 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Tap the So Saffron Classic Ink pad onto an acrylic block or silicone mat, spritz with water and lay a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock into the ink.  Repeat the process until you are satisfied with the results. Heat the paper with the Heat Tool to dry between layers of ink.

2). Ink the fern image from Butterfly Basics with Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink and stamp repeatedly onto the background panel. Stamp the honeycomb image with So Saffron Classic Ink repeatedly over the panel and add a bit of splatter with the small splatter stamp from Timeless Textures using Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink. 

3). Trim the panel and using the Paper Trimmer, cut the panel into ½” horizontal pieces (as you cut, lightly number the pieces on the back in 4 different places- trust me, this will help immensely in remembering where the pieces go back into place).

4). After you cut the horizontal strips, take each strip and cut into “bricks” (I used 1 ¼” and 1” segments).  Lightly sponge Soft Suede Classic Ink over the edges and adhere to a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  ***FYI- On my first attempt, I did not number the rows as I cut the initial strips and put them in order on my craft mat, but as I sponged the pieces, I accidentally flipped my mat and after a few hours of trying to piece them back together, I gave up and started again. The second time I numbered the rows as I cut the strips and it worked so well.***

5). Stamp the honeycomb image with So Saffon Classic Ink onto another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, sponge the edges with Soft Suede Classic Ink, trim and mount onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock.  Adhere the panel to the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

6). Ink the flowers from Butterfly Basics using Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink and stamp two sets of the images onto Whisper White cardstock.  Using Berry Burst and Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink, watercolor the flowers with an AquaPainter™ (adding shadows with the same colors of Stampin’ Write Markers).  Once you are satisfied with the coloring, fussy-cut each of the flowers.

7). Adhere the background flowers directly to the card front and mount the flowers in the foreground using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

8). Use Clear Wink of Stella® to add shimmer to the flower petals and the White Gel Pen to add a few highlights to the flower centers.

9). Ink the butterflies from Butterfly Basics using Berry Burst Classic Ink, fussy-cut the butterflies and mount onto the card front.

10). Stamp the sentiment from Rose Wonder using Berry Burst Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, die  cut with the Stitched Layering Framelits™ , sponge Soft Suede Classic Ink over the edges and mount onto a die cut circle of Berry Burst cardstock (die cut with the Layering Circle Framelits™). 

11). Adhere a strip of Berry Burst cardstock with Stampin’ Dimensionals® (on the area around the popped-up flower), add the Berry Burst bow (created with the Bow Builder Punch) and mount the layered sentiment.  Mount the retired button with a strand of burlap ribbon to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Butterfly Basics, Rose Wonder, Timeless Textures

Ink/Mediums: Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black, Classic Ink- Berry Burst, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, So Saffron; Clear Wink of Stella® , White Gel Pen

Hi Friends!!

I had a chance to create another card last night and decided to pull out a few sets that I have not had a chance to ink up in a while- Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Basics, Awesomely Artistic and Rose Wonder (all three sets are over a year old :-)).

I incorporated the Fab Friday #114 Color Challenge along with the Happy LittleStampers June 2017 CAS “Smoosh” Challenge and the Retro Rubber #64 "Anything Goes" Challenge into the design.

2). On a clear acetate envelope, tap a bit of Powder Pink and Berry Burst Classic Ink, spritz lightly with water, smoosh the ink around and lay a piece of white cardstock into the ink.  Dry with the Heat Tool, add a bit of splatter with the splatter image from Awesomely Artistic stamp set with Berry Burst Classic Ink.  Apply Picket Fence Distress Stain over some of the “smooshed” areas to tone down the ink, dry again before trimming. 

3). Ink the verse sentiment from Rose Wonder with Fresh Fig Classic Ink, stamp onto the panel and mount onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock.

4). Mount the flower using dimensional foam, use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals and an extra fine white paint pen for highlights in the center of the flower.

SUO176 Floral Birthday

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the #176 “Out in the Garden” Challenge at SU! Only Challenges! I used to dream of having beautiful floral gardens but as time progressed and my work hours averaged 60+ a week, those dreams never became a reality-lol!

So when Robin suggested the theme “Out in the Garden” floral images came immediately to my mind, although it could be anything in the garden- bees, butteflies, flowers, garden benches, etc. as long as you only use only Stampin’ Up! products.

I decided to incorporate the CAS(E) This Sketch #224 Challenge (I completely flipped the sketch) along with the TGIF Challenges! #114 Color Challenge and the Paper Players PP347 "Birthday" Challenge into the design.

2). Ink the grid stamp from You’ve Got This using Bermuda Bay Classic Ink, apply a sticky note to “mask” off part of the image and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp the splatter image from Awesomely Artistic using Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink and use the AquaPainter™ with diluted Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink.

3). Ink the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink and stamp onto the background panel.

4). Trim the panel, mount onto Basic Black cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Bermuda Bay card front.

 5). Trim the stem and leaves from the floral image, add the leaves behind the flower and mount onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

6). Use the Clear Wink of Stella® Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the petals and add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.

The retired list for Stampin’ Up! was just released and In The Meadow will be retiring- I love this set with the images of the deer, mountains and trees.  Perfect for so many types of cards so if you do not have this set yet, now would be the time to order before it retires:-)

SUO157 With Sympathy

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the SUO157 “All Kinds of Weather” Challenge at SU-Only Challenges!

I love most types of weather (I am not too fond of hurricanes or tornadoes) and decided to try to depict a cloudy day using images from In the Meadow along with a sentiment from Rose Wonder.

I also incorporated the Splitcoaststamper’s CAS394 “One with Nature” Challenge into the design.

To create this card:

Ink the deer image from In the Meadow with Basic Black Archival Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Also stamp the image onto a piece of scrap paper, fussy-cut the image and use this as a mask.

Mask the deer and stamp the mountains in the background (also stamp the mountains onto scrap paper and create a mask).

Mask the mountains and stamp the mountain image again, repeating to build up the mountain range.

Stamp the tree image along with the grass and flowers in the corner.

Use an AquaPainter™ with ink from the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Marker to watercolor the sky (I usually scribble the marker onto an acrylic block or craft mat and pick up the ink with the AquaPainter™).

Use Marina Mist for the mountains, Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi for the meadow and grass, Tip Top Taupe for the deer.

Use the actual markers to define the areas and add shadows.

De-static the panel with the Embossing Buddy®, ink the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Versamark™, stamp onto the panel and heat emboss with Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder.

Trim the panel and mount onto Whisper White cardstock, trim again and mount onto Soft Suede cardstock, trim once more and mount onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

To finish off the card, add the white highlights to the fawn and flowers with the White Gel Pen and use the Clear Wink of Stella® marker to add shimmer to the mountains.
