IM378 – Meant to Bee

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a spring showers umbrella image!

MEANT TO BEE

I had to pull out my bag of tricks to come up with this card!  I used a couple different die sets to create the flower-filled umbrella!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Melon Mambo cardstock is added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock is stamped with the Layering Leaves stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink across the top.
  • A 1 x 3-3/4 strip of Full of Life Designer Paper was added to the bottom.
  • The Meant to Bee hexagon is cut from Pool Party cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The umbrella was cut from Full of Life DSP with the Framed Scenes Die, trimmed in half, then a 1″ Circle cut the curves along the top.
  • The handle is the pitchfork from Storybook Garden Patch Dies cut from Basic Gray and the end of the handle from the Full of Life DSP.
  • The flowers and leaves were cut with the Meant to Bee dies from Basic White, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green and Azure Afternoon cardstocks.  They were assembled with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added to the umbrella.
  • Some white Baker’s Twine Essential Pack was tied in a bow around the handle.
  • Small Iridescent Faceted Gems were added to the centers of the flowers for a little bling!

 

So…with several die sets, I was able to recreate the spring flowers look on my card!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Saturday Blog Hop – Easter Wishes

By | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Easter Wishes”.  Our Easter is VERY late this year…the end of April!  But here’s a few ideas for you!

STORYBOOK FRIENDS

This Storybook Friends stamp set and coordinating designer paper is very Beatrix Potter looking, so I wanted to switch it up a little and use some more modern touches!  I found the patterns in the Wildflower Birthday DSP pack to work perfectly!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is added on top.
  • A 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of green dotted Wildflower Birthday DSP is added towards the left side.
  • A 1 x 5-1/4 piece of pink gingham Wildflower Birthday DSP is added over it towards the left side.
  • The daisy print tag from Wildflower Birthday DSP was cut out.  A 1 x 2-1/2 strip of the green dotted DSP was torn across the top and added to the bottom of the tag.
  • Some Gold Textured Thread was tied around the top in a bow.  The tag was added at an angle to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The yellow die cut daisy flower and small leaf were added to the top of the tag with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The mom bunny and kid bunny were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic Whitecardstock, colored with Bubble Bath, Peach Pie, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends, cut with the Storybook Friends Dies and added to the front of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Easter Greetings from Storybook Friends was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Soft Sea Foam cardstock and punched with the 1-1/2 circle and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of peach 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems were added to the background/circle and a pink one to the center of the daisy!

 

 

Isn’t that sweet???  I love the mix of patterns!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

CSF862 – Ocean Friends Favor

By | 2 Comments

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  This week is a cheerful color combination to inspire you!

OCEAN FRIENDS

Serendipity!!!  So, normally we do cards for our challenges, but I’ve been wanting to show off these favors that I made for a few of my friends who were on the Royal Caribbean crafting cruise with me a couple weeks ago!  This package just happened to be the colors for today’s challenge!  We had a blast!  Cruising…and crafting…two of my favorite things!  These little “hot hands” are to hold your craft project while heat embossing, gluing, or any other time you need an extra hand!  I thought they were so fun and came in a variety of colors.  This one I saved for myself because I love the Lemon Lime Twist color!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The tag is the solid center shape from the Meant to Bee Dies cut from Summer Splash cardstock.  It was stamped with the bubbles in Summer Splash ink randomly in the background.
  • The coral was cut with the Ocean Friends Die from Calypso Coral cardstock, then cut in half.  It was added to the die cut tag.
  • The crab was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist outline and stamped off solid image on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Ocean Friends Die.  It was tucked in the coral with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Ocean Friends was stamped with Summer Splash Ink on 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White and the ends cut at an angle.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A coral Sunny Day Iridescent Dot was added to the background.
  • The top was punched with 1/8″ Circle Punch (retired) and tied around the 3 x 9 Printed Gusseted Cello Bag (retired).
  • The cello bag was tied closed with a 1-1/2 Gold Open Weave Trim in a bow.

 

This was such a fun project to make, and I think they liked them!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
