Stampin’ Up! Avant Garden Banner Thanks

Posted on January 9, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Good Monday morning, y’all! Another week begins! We got our Christmas tree…half way down this weekend. Too cold to get the big tree box out of the garage store room. So it sits in white-lighted splendor. Nekkid but for the lights. I wish I had room to leave it up all year – I love the lights so much!!

I’ve mentioned that it’s cold. By which I mean ridiculously cold. Unless you’re an Australian Shepherd.

I invited him back in three times. He politely declined! Just sittin’ in the sun, enjoying the day. While mom freezes her hindquarters off (I wish!) trying to get him back in.

“Me. It’s all about me! Even have a picture frame that says so. They love me so much…”

He did finally come in – even a fur-ball finally gets a little chilly!

So ever since our non-snow-lots-of-ice event of 2017, I’ve been thinking on this picture I took.

I wanted to make a card inspired by this icy branch, so…I pulled out the Falling in Love DSP and used the design that is a…well – icy branch! And I embellished it with some Copper embossed Avant Garden (free in the Sale-A-Bration flyer) flowers and a couple of sentiments from Banners for You. Take a look-see:

I used the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for my layout inspiration.

To begin, I cut a small panel of Vellum card stock for my artwork. I rubbed it a bit with my Embossing Buddy, then stamped the Avant Garden flower twice in Versamark. I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed the image. I lightly colored the flowers with my Sweet Sugarplum Stampin’ Write Marker, and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz.

I adhered the embossed panel to a piece of Falling In Love DSP – using Liquid Glue only behind the embossed image to hide it. Then I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla 1/4″ Satin Ribbon around the panel – being sure that the edge of the Vellum was trapped under it. Next came a piece of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon, with a piece of Very Vanilla 1/2″ Lace Trim over the top, wrapped around the panel and secured in the back with scotch tape.

I SNAILd the whole thing to a mat of Blushing Bride card stock.

My sentiment is from the Banners For You stamp set, stamped in Sweet Sugarplum on a piece of Very Vanilla and cut with a die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits set. I used my Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker to edge the banner, and secured it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I embellished the sentiment with a Classy Designer Button, adhered with Liquid Glue, and a small bow from Blushing Bride Solid Baker’s Twine. To finish the card front, I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels.

On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Banners for You in Sweet Sugarplum to a Very Vanilla panel. Across the bottom, I stamped a couple of images from the Delicate Details stamp set (also a free Sale-A-Bration item!) in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand.

I SNAILd the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Sahara Sand card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!

For my Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, I stamped two more Avant Garden flowers in Sahara Sand on the front. Then I used my Blender Pens to color the flowers with Sweet Sugarplum and Blushing Bride ink, and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz…

…and I added more of the Falling in Love DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! We’ve got some very very pretty stamp sets in the Sale-A-Bration flyer this time, don’t you think? I love the flowers in the Avant Garden set and they go so nicely on the Falling in Love DSP. Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! All Things Thanks Delicate Details Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all. Will soon be on my way home to my wiggle butt! Can hardly wait to see the little mongrel! 🙂

So. Remember me saying that I thought the cats are “playing” Finn? Pretending to be afraid of him and running so he chases them and gets scolded?

Yea.

We got proof. Wayne told me today that he set a tuna fish can on the floor for Katy. She’d come into the kitchen when she smelled the tuna, brazenly disregarding the fact that Finn was in there having his dinner. She commenced to working on the tuna can – even when Finn came over the see what she had that smelled so darned good! Wayne told me Finn would try to stick his nose in the can and Katy would pull it away from him with her paw. So they were nose-to-nose. Tuna is worth showing your ~~hand~~ paw over, apparently.

Well – the jig is up, Katy. We’ve got your number now. Hoisted on her own ~~petard~~ tuna can, she was!

Poor little maligned and always-so-innocent-would-never-do-anything-wrong Finn….duped by a feline! 😉

Now. On to the card for today. One of the pretty new stamp sets coming soon in the 2017 Occasions Catalog is called All Things Thanks. I’m betting you can figure out what its theme is, yes? I used that, and combined it with one of the stamp sets you’ll be able to earn Free in Sale-A-Bration called Delicate Details. Look what I got when I put it on top of the oh-so-pretty Falling In Love DSP. Take a look-see:

My design played along with the Fab Friday sketch this week.

I started with a piece of the Bokeh print paper in the Falling In Love DSP. Using one of the pretty lace images in the Sale-A-Bration Delicate Details stamp set, I stamped in Sahara Sand several times. I started about 1/3 of the way up the panel and overlapped each image a little bit as I stamped on down the panel. When I was done, I SNAILd the DSP to a Sahara Sand mat.

I wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla 1/2″ Lace Trim around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

My sentiment, from All Things Thanks, is stamped in Sweet Sugarplum on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Then I cut it out with a Squares Layering Framelit. I decided to add a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to the panel, so I pulled out my Sealed with Love stamp set (also coming in the 2017 Occasions Catalog) and stamped the little fleur-diddle-dee-dee above the sentiment in Blushing Bride.

I matted the sentiment on a scalloped edge square of Sahara Sand card stock, cut with the Squares Layering Framelits. Then I popped the whole thing onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a little more texture, I adhered a couple of wooden hearts from the Sending Love Embellishment pack, using some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. And I finished it up with a tiny bow tied with Linen Thread adhered with an oh-so-tiny drop of Liquid Glue. And that was it for the card front! 🙂

On the inside, I SNAILd a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to a Sahara Sand mat. Then I matted a strip of Falling in Love DSP to another strip of Sahara Sand and then to the panel. Over that I wrapped a length of the Very Vanilla 1/2″ Lace Trim, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

I SNAILd the liner into my Blushing Bride card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got one of the Sealed with Love fleur-de-doo’s in Blushing Bride on the front, plus a couple of flowerdy hearts in the corners…

…and some more of the oh-so-pretty Falling in Love DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I think this would be a perfect card for a new bride to send as a thank you, don’t you? These are both wonderful stamp sets, and I think the Falling in Love DSP is about the prettiest I’ve seen in a long while! Hope you like!
