Sketches and Pretty Perennials

So glad you popped in today to see what I've been up too! Yesterday I posted a card that I did using a sketch! I wanted to show you the versatility of using a sketch so today's card is another version of the same sketch using a completely different Bundle by Stampin UP®

For this card I used the Pretty Perennials Bundle and the Approaching Perfection stamp set (Sale A Bration item). This bundle includes the Pretty Perennials stamp set and the Perennial Petals Dies.

I used a Thick Basic White card base, Night of Navy, Soft Sea Foam and Basic White card stock, Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale A Bration) and the Neutrals Designer Series Paper

First I adhered the Paper Blooms DSP to the card front. Then added the Neutrals DSP to the center of the card front as shown.

Next I used the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the right edge of the Basic White Strip into a banner. Then I stamped the sentiment using Night of Navy ink placing it towards the right side of the strip.

Using the Pretty Perennials Stamp set I stamped three of the medium flowers in Rococo Rose ink and the word "happy" in Night of Navy ink onto the Basic White cardstock. I used the Perennial Petals Dies to cut out the flowers and fussy cut out the word. Next using the Perennial Petals Dies I cut out the detailed leaves from the Soft Sea foam cardstock.

Now your ready to build your card front. I placed the banner first as shown. Then built up the flowers and leaves. I did pop up one of the flowers using Stampin dimensionals. Then I placed the word "happy" at an angle in the top left corner as shown.

Last I added some small Basic Rhinestones to the center of the flowers!

For the inside I adhered the Night of Navy matte. On the Basic White cardstock I stamped the small flowers in Rococo Rose ink the lower right hand corner. Stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink then adhered to the Night of Navy Matte.

I hope that this card and yesterdays card really show you how you can use a sketch with different Stamp set and bundles to create a completely different card! Sketches are great to help you if your struggling with a design. I often use them when I'm having a creative block. Once I get started then my creativity will kick in and I'm again off an running with designing cards!

You can find all kinds of card sketches on Pinterest!

Please note that I did use several of the Sale A Bration items on this card. Sale A Bration ended at the end of February so if you did not get these items during Sale A Bration you will need to substitute it for something you have on hand!

Thanks again for stopping by my blog today. Please leave me a comment below I would love to hear from you!

Sketches and Kangaroo & Company by Stampin Up®

Welcome to my blog today! For this card I used a sketch and the Kangaroo & Company Bundle by Stampin Up®. This bundle includes the Kangaroo & Company stamp set and the Kangaroo Dies.

This is the first card in my two part card series for this sketch. The second card I used the Pretty Perennials Bundle! It will be posted in tomorrows Blog!

For this card I used a Thick Basic White card base, Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale A Bration item), In Color 2019-2021 Designer Series Paper, Rococo Rose Card stock and Basic White Card Stock.

On one of the Basic White sheets stamp the Kangaroo Images using Black Memento Ink. Color with Stampin Blends. (Colors listed below) Cut out using the Kangaroo Dies and Stampin Die Cut machine. Cut out 4 of the small banners. Then using Rococo Rose ink, stamp 2 hearts on 2 of them, "Hello Baby" on one and "Hello, Hello" on the last one.

Matte the Hello Baby sentiment with a piece of Rococo Rose. On the other three trim bottoms to form a banner then Matte with Rococo Rose card stock and trim those into a banner a well. (Note: I trimmed the banner on the Matte after I adhered the White one to the front of it)

Adhere the Subtles DSP to the Paper Blooms DSP. Wrap twine at an angle from left to right and also wrap some around the middle and tie a bow. Now adhere both to the card front.

Adhere banners and Kangaroo as shown. I used Stampin Dimensionals to pop up the Kangaroo and the "hello baby" banner.

For the inside I adhere a Rococo Rose matte. Then on the Basic White piece using the Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set I stamped the heart image in the lower right hand corner in Rococo Rose ink. The sentiment in the same ink was from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set! You may have notice I have used this sentiment stamp quite often! It' a great stamp as it has so many different sentiments that can be used on several different cards!

Brushed Blooms "Birthday" plus

Glad your stopping by today! Today I am working with the Brushed Blooms Bundle by Stampin Up®.

I'm loving the cards that I'm getting from this bundle! The bundle includes the Brushed Blooms stamps set and the Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies. I have to admit when I saw these dies I wasn't sure how I would use them or even if I liked them. This just goes to show that sometimes you have to play with a set to see what it can do! I'm now in love with it! Of course I shouldn't be surprised because Stampin Up® has great designers!

Ok for this card I used a Basic Black card base, Basic White card stock and three sheets from the Oh So Ombre (Sale A Bration) Designer Series Paper. Note: If you were not able to get this paper during Sale A Bration then I would probably do a watercolor paper with Granny Apple Green ink to create the same effect for the card front and just use different shades of the Stampin Up® pinks and purples card stock for the flowers. I also used the Happy Thoughts stamp set for the inside sentiment!

Lets get started. First using the Beautiful Brushstrokes large die run it through the Stampin Die Cut machine on one of the Basic White pieces (VERY IMPORTANT - Save the pieces that come out of the frame I will be posting another card on March 15th Demonstrator Training Program March Blog Hop that uses these pieces). Now adhere the Granny Apple Green "Oh So Ombre" sheet to the backside of this piece. Adhere them both to the card front.

Stamp Sentiment using Black Memento ink centering on bottom edge. Then using Granny Apple Green stamp the dot images stamping off after the first time so that you get the same Ombre look.

Next using the Beautiful Brushstrokes Flower dies and the Rococo Rose and Blackberry Bliss "Oh So Ombre" sheets cut out a set of large and small flowers from each sheet. Make sure to position the dies so that the Outline die is on the darkest section then go up with the detailed flower dies so that they will be lighter in color. Once you have them cut out then build each flower using the outline die as your base then adding detailed dies. Using liquid glue apply flowers to card front as shown. (Note: I did slightly tuck a small edge under each cutout section.

Color in some Basic Rhinestone with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin Blend then apply to card front as desired.

For the inside using the large brushstroke stamp image, stamp full ink in Granny Apple Green then right underneath stamp again and once again without reinking between the first, second and third image. Again that is how you get the ombre look. Then using Black Memento ink and the Happy Thoughts Stamp set, stamp the "Happy Birthday" sentiment over the top of the Ombre images. Adhere to the inside of the card and your are done!

I hope you enjoyed this card! Please don't forget to leave me a comment below! Also if you'd like to be notified each time I add a card to this blog just add your email to the right in the "Follow Me" section!

Don't forget to come back on March 15th and check out the card I made using the extra pieces from the large die cutout! It will be part of a Demonstrator Training Blog Hop with Demonstrators from around the world!

Pretty Perennials (Stamps by Stampin Up®) "Friendship"

Thanks for stopping by today! This is a card that I did for my card class in February and it was such a hit that I thought I would share it on my blog for everyone! As you know I use Stampin Up® products for all of my cards. This card is made using the Pretty Perennials Bundle which includes the Pretty Perennials stamps set and the Perennial Petals Dies. For those of you unfamiliar with what a bundle is, it's when Stampin Up® coordinated a Stamp set with either a die set or punch. I love bundles but if you know me well you know that I love an "Easy" button and that is what bundles are for me!

For this card I did use one of the Sale A Bration Designer Series Paper "Flower and Field" but if you were not able to get this free paper during Sale A Bration you can use any DSP that you have on hand! I also brought in the Ornate Frame Dies for the sentiment frame on the card front.

Lets put it together: First I used Thick Basic White as my card base. Then I adhered a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock to the card front. Next I layered the Flower and Field DSP onto the card front.

Now you need to do some stamping. I used Pool Party ink and stamped 2 large flowers, 2 medium flowers and three small flowers onto one of the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White pieces. Then stamp the leaves using Granny Apple Green ink. (For the leaves you will be doing 2 step stamping and 2nd generation stamping.) First stamp the detailed leaves in Granny Apple Green, then stamp the solid image over the first image BUT you will stamp off onto a piece of scrap paper before stamping over the detailed image. This will make it a slightly lighter color. Cut out using the Perennial Petals dies.

On the 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White piece you will want to position the following dies, first the Ornate Frame die, then you will be cutting out 2 of the large detailed flowers and 2 of the medium detailed flowers from the Perennial Petals dies.

On the Ornate Frame die cut, using Black Memento ink stamp the sentiment positioning it towards the right side then you will want to cut off the left edge so that it will fit under the flowers on the card front.

Now your ready to build the flowers on the card front. Place the Ornate frame first as shown. Adhere the Detailed flower dies to the stamped flowers. Then start to build them starting in the upper left corner angling down toward the right lower corner. I did pop up One large flower and one medium flower. I placed the leaves under the popped up flowers.

Adhere the Matte Black dots to the flowers as shown.

For the inside of the card. I adhered a Basic Black Matte then stamped a large flower in the lower right hand corner in Pool Party Ink. Stamp the sentiment in Black memento in on the center as shown. Don't you just love that big "happy". Adhere to the matte.

What a fun card! I hope you try this one out and don't forget to leave me a comment below and let me know what you think. Below you will find a list of supplies and cuts for the card.

Thanks again for popping in and I hope you are enjoying my cards!
