Lovely Birthday

You know I enjoy stamping when everything on my card has been discontinued. This means that the only way for me to profit is to sell this card, or send it to someone myself. Of course, I do need to earn what I have already spent for these products. What about you? Do you mostly stamp for pleasure or money or both? 

Stamps:

   Positive Thoughts

   Peaceful Moments

Paper:

   Lovely Lipstick A-2, Scrap

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   CAS

   Punching

Accessories:

   Small Heart Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment on the top right-hand corner of a Basic White panel, using Lovely Lipstick ink.

I then randomly stamped three flowers on the panel, using Lovely Lipstick ink.

Next, using Wild Wasabi ink, I stamped several leaf branches around the panel.

I then added a little flourish under the sentiment to fill the gap between the flower and the sentiment.

Next, I stamped a butterfly on the card, using Tuxedo Black Memento. 

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Lovely Lipstick card front.

Next, I punched a Lovely Lipstick heart from a scrap and adhered it close to the sentiment.

Lastly, I added a rhinestone to each flower and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Family

Can you see the face? It took five different stamp sets to bring it all together. I had fun creating and stretching my imagination. Are you with me? Let me know in the comments. 

Stamps:

   Work of Art

   Elegant Beginnings

   Warm Words

   Handbill Headlines

   Pretty Amazing

Paper:

   Real Red A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Daffodil Delight

   Flirty Flamingo

   Peekaboo Peach

   Sweet Sugarplum

   Real Red

   Basic Black

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Curvy Corner Trio Punch

   Corner Rounder

   Fire Circle Rhinestones

   Paper Piercer

   Adhesive

First, I punched the corners on a Basic White panel. I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch on the top two corners, and the Corner Rounder on the bottom two corners.

I then used the Work of Art stamp set to draw the splotches representing "facial" features. I began at the top, using Daffodil Delight for the hairline.

I then stamped the round nose, using Flirty Flamingo.

Next, I stamped the left cheek with Peekaboo Peach and the right cheek with Sweet Sugarplum.

I then stamped the mouth with Melon Mambo, and added three dimples (including chin) with Real Red.

Next, I stamped the words, using Basic Black ink. The words came from the remaining stamp sets.

I adhered the panel to the Real Red card front.

Lastly, I added two fire circle rhinestones for the eyes and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Thoughtful Thanks

Make use of Paper Pumpkin left-overs right away. It is great to have a few left-overs from the various Paper Pumpkin kits. Still, they do accumulate and are soon forgotten if you put them away. So, I have now decided to try and make use of them right away. I had three tags left-over from the February kit. I know, I am behind in putting my kit together, but there is no set time to get them done. Thoughts? 

Thoughtful Thanks

Thoughtful Thanks Too

Thoughtful Thanks Tre

Stamps:

   Safari Celebration (Paper Pumpkin 2/2022)

   Positive Thoughts

Paper:

   Fresh Freesia A-2 or Soft Succulent A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Paper Pumpkin Tag (Left-Over 2/22)

Ink:

   Bumblebee

   Fresh Freesia

   Pear Pizzazz

   Rich Razzleberry

   Soft Succulent

Technique:

   Blending Brush

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Frosted Rocks (Paper Pumpkin Kit - Left-Overs)

   Blending Brush/Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

The instruction sheet, included with each kit, listed the coordinating colors for the kit. I began by pulling all of the colors. I also decided to use my Positive Thoughts stamp set to create my three new cards, using one left-over tag on each card.

First, I stamped the flower image a couple of times, using Rich Razzleberry ink.

I then stamped a couple of butterflies with Fresh Freesia.

Next, I stamped the leaves, using Soft Succulent and Pear Pizzazz. I stamped several in various directions to cover the rest of the panel.

I grabbed my blending brush and added Bumblebee ink across the panel to add a bit of sunlight to the card.

I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then onto a card base. I chose Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent as my card bases.

Next, I added a left-over tag, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few left-over frosted rocks on the flowers and tag. I added rhinestones to the butterflies and adhered the other basic white panel to the inside of the card.

Rich Hugs

 Flower, leaves, butterfly, and sentiment all in one stamp set: Positive Thoughts. There are more stamps included in this cling stamp set, and there are coordinating dies available. Of course, like many Stampin' Up! stamp sets, this one can be paired up with many others as well. 

Stamps:

   Positive Thoughts

Paper:

   Rich Razzleberry A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Old Olive

   Rich Razzleberry

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Adhesive

Stamps, Ink, and Paper are the only ingredients needed to make this great card. No special techniques, papers, or embellishments needed. I added pearls from my stash, but they are not vital to the card. What do you think?

First, I stamped three flowers using Rich Razzleberry.

Next, I added the greenery around and between these flowers using Old Olive ink.

I then decided to stamp a butterfly in black.

I added the sentiment using Rich Razzleberry and finished the card with a few pearls.

The second Whisper White panel is for the inside of the card.

Butterfly Hugs

 Brusho Crystal Colours show the fluidity of water. These flakes are easy to apply and give you reason to react with plenty of oohs and aahs. Here is my card using my unique background. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Positive Thoughts

Paper:

   Always Artichoke A-2

   Watercolor 5 x 3-3/4

   Crumb Cake 2-3/4" Oval

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Brilliant Red

   Mossed Green

   Yellow

   Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheet 2-1/4 x 1-3/4

   Layering Ovals Framelits Dies

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

To create with Brushos:

   Sprinkle the flakes on watercolor paper

   Spray with water

   Tilt your paper 

   Dab with a paper towel 

   Repeat any of the above steps

Continue the process until you are happy with your unique background. 

The only thing to be careful with is the mixing of colors. If you mix too many colors, you will end up with a muddy sight. 

I chose to add a rectangle of fabric and an oval sentiment to my card front.

Almost Gorgeous

 Shadows can be created using die cuts and their negative spaces. I never knew how easy this was until my stamping friend, Ann, shared her expertise. What do you think?

Stamps:
   Positive Thoughts

Paper:
   Gorgeous Grape A-2
   Almost Amethyst DSP 5-1/4 x 4
   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Gorgeous Grape

Technique:
   Die Cutting

Accessories:
   Nature's Thoughts Dies
   Pearls
   Adhesive
   Dimensionals

First, I stamped and die cut on a panel.

I then adhered the panel to my card base. I added the die cut and moved it just a tad to the side. This created the shadow. The die cut was attached with dimensionals.

I then stamped my sentiment and added a few pearls.
