IM384 – Beautiful Butterflies

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a colorful abstract!

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

I was wondering what direction to go in when I saw the inspiration challenge.  I remembered this butterfly “wing” and thought I could make a colorful array of them.  This is what I ended up with!  Fun and SO easy!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock, I added the two wings together on a block and then inked them in the rainbow colors of Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Azure Afternoon and Real Red.  It was added to the base card.
  • A 1 x 5-1/4 strip of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the greeting in Memento Black Ink and added across the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Brushed Brass Butterflies were added next to the greeting.

 

SUPER simple, but it was fun to create my rainbow!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Favorite New Bundle 2025”.

IMPRESSIONS ABLOOM

It was a toss-up between Impressions Abloom or Sunrise Sailing on which is my favorite new bundle right now!  I went with the one that I’ve used the most!  I also LOVE this Painted Stripes Background stamp but haven’t used it yet.  With Memorial Day right around the corner, I made up a red, white and blue card using it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Painted Stripes Stamp using Poppy Parade Ink.
  • The oval from Impressions Abloom Dies was cut from Misty Moonlight and embossed with the Eyelet Embossing Folder, then adhered to the front.
  • Two large Impressions Abloom flowers were stamped off with Misty Moonlight ink, then the details with full Misty Moonlight Ink.  The centers were stamped with Poppy Parade.  They were cut with the outline and detail flower dies then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were all cut from Lemon Lime Twist.  The fan flowers from Basic White cardstock.  All were assembled on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Hello from Simply Said stamp set was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on 1/2 x 1-1/2 Basic White, the ends cut at an angle.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems were added to the background.

Love this patriotic card!  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!

IM383 – Notes & Totes

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a beach scene!  I wish it would get warm enough around here to go to the beach at the lake…it’s been TOO cool so far!

NOTES & TOTES

I was SO excited to see Stampin’ Up! came out with this Notes & Totes Bundle!  Love it!  Debbie and I have already done a class tutorial for CSF with it.  SO CUTE!  But here’s my card inspired by the beach scene inspiration photo!  I even used the “newspaper” or iPad die-cut to make my towel!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cloud Cover cardstock was stamped with the greeting using Poppy Parade Ink in the upper right corner and added to the front.
  • A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Balmy Blue cardstock was torn across the top and adhered behind a 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Crumb Cake torn across the top.  The Crumb Cake was stamped with the sand image randomly with Crumb Cake Ink.
  • Two clouds were cut from Basic White cardstock with the Sunrise Sailing Dies and added to the background along the top.
  • The tote was cut from Poppy Parade cardstock and stamped with the hibiscus flower in Poppy Parade Ink randomly.
  • The handle and base of the tote were cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the tote.  The tote was adhered to the front of the card with Monoadhesive Glue on the tab portions and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the body of the tote.
  • The towel was cut with the Newspaper/iPad Die from Mixed Media Designer Paper and the top folded down to hang out of the tote.
  • Two bands were cut from Petal Pink cardstock and added as the trim for the towel.
  • The sunglasses were cut from Basic White and Basic Black cardstock and adhered together, then added to the handle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The shell was cut from Cloud Cover and the starfish from Basic White and added next to the toe with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The water bottle was cut from Petal Pink and stamped with a Flirty Flamingo sun, then tucked in the bag.
  • A trio of Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems were added to the background.

 

I think I need to keep this card for my husband’s retirement someday…I know he’d like it!   OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite New In Color 2025

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Favorite New In Color 2025”.

IMPRESSIONS ABLOOM

I was torn between two new In Colors that I’m particularly drawn to for 2025-27…Cloud Cover and the returning Strawberry Slush.  Since we don’t have the ink pad yet for Cloud Cover, I went with Strawberry Slush on today’s card!  And also because I had ALL these parts already on my desk…just had to put them on a base card!  lol!

Stampin’ Deta

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Strawberry Slush cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3 x 5-1/4 piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock was embossed with the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder, then trimmed along the edge around the floral pattern.
  • I used a sponge dauber and White Craft Ink to highlight the raised areas and let it dry.  It was added to the left side.
  • A 1/4 x 3 strip of Pretty in Pink cardstock was adhered behind the 3/4 x 3-1/2 strip of Floral Impressions DSP and added towards the bottom.
  • A 2″ circle was punched from Daffodil Delight cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The large flower was cut with the outline and detail die from Basic White cardstock and the smaller flower from Strawberry Slush cardstock.  The tiny flower was cut from Pretty in Pink cardstock with the die.  They were adhered together and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped with Garden Green Ink on Soft Sea Foam and cut with the dies.  They were added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals tucked under the flower.

Love this bundle!  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!
