Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips Blue Easter Card

Okay, so I'm addicted to this die! This is the third card I've made with it for one of the church shut ins. Take a look see...

Same as yesterday's except with a different pattern of Hues of Happiness DSP. The front sentiment is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set. The inside uses what was cut out from the negative space that I used yesterday. 

I still need practice on stamping those leaves...what does that mean? I guess it means you'll be seeing more tulips! Everything is coming up tulips or should that be roses? Stay tuned and thanks for checking in today, I appreciate it.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips Easter Card

Is it Thursday already and only 9 more days left in February? Where is time going?? Well, there's nothing I can do about it except to keep making cards. I am in love with the Sunshine & Tulips Die. This is another card for a church shut in.

 

and the inside... 

My card base is Melon Mambo. After die cutting the Basic White panel, I embossed it with the retired Ornate Floral 3D EF. Then I adhered strips of retired Hues of Happiness DSP behind the open tulips. I stamped the leaves with Pool Party Ink. The sentiment is from the retired Hold on to Hope Stamp Set.

The inside was created with the negative space of a die that I have no recollection from where it came. The cross is from the Hold on to Hope and is stamped in Crumb Cake. I adhered a strip of Hues of Happiness to the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips Easter Card

Happy mid-week my stamping friends. Today's card is another I created for one of our church shut-ins. I'm entering it in the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge . Take a look at my card and their optional Mood Board #38. 

  

I think I'm pretty much in the mood, what do you think? 

Let me tell you more about my card...

I used the tulip die and sentiment die from the Sunshine & Tulips Die Set. This was my first attempt at stamping the tulips and leaves in the die cut. I'm hoping my second try will line up better. The sentiment is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set. My colors are Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight. Let's take a look at the inside...

The cross and sentiment are from the retired Hold on to Hope Stamp Set and the "rejoicing" is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll visit the challenge site, which is floral focused. The design team and entries are pretty amazing!

Stampin' UP! Paper Pumpkin Valentine Card

Happy Valentine's Day my stamping friends. Here's my valentine for you created with the retired January 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

and this is what the kit looked like...

I certainly did get my money's worth out of this kit as this was my 9th card using the kit. I still have enough to make Valentines for the shut-ins again next year. This one was not for a shut-in, however! You can see why...

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with much love from those near and dear to you. 

 

Stampin' UP! From the Heart Heartfelt Valentine

I'm pretty sure I can promise you this is the last time you'll see this paper and stamp set until next year! Are you doing anything for Valentine's Day? I'm going to fix myself a filet mignon and shrimp cocktail dinner with a nice glass of red wine. My husband and I never went out for a Valentine dinner so it does not bother me to celebrate alone by cooking. I'd prefer him to be here but he's cancer free and with Jesus so that's the upside!  Let's take a look at how much joy this DSP has brought me!

and the inside...

Thank you for stopping by today. Whatever, you do tomorrow to celebrate, I hope it's enjoyable.

Stampin' Up! Roses are Red Valentine

Mid-week already and close to mid-February...that means closer to spring, right? Well, it's definitely closer to Valentine's Day so I made another one. Like I said, I cut way too many pieces of this patterned paper and couldn't throw them out! Take a look see...

The cuts are a little different because I just eye balled everything and I turned one of the patterns over so there are 4 patterns instead of 3. The paper and ingredients are the same as my other cards posted earlier, with the exception of the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels and the outer sentiment.

The inside...(I used the new stamp positioner SU is offering free if you join Stampin' Up! and demos have to pay. We aren't sure when it will be offered to the public. I think it did a fantastic job on the heart and arrow. I LOVE it!!)

I'm entering my card at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge 2606. I just found out I was the random winner for Challenge 2605! I hope you'll visit Pammie's anything goes challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you're enjoying the winter Olympics. They are my favorites, especially curling.
