Stampin' Up! Easter Cards

Hello stamping friends and welcome to my Monday Makeover Madness. My original is here. The difference...I blended 3 colors instead of two, used different colors, different "Happy Easter" stamp and the unscalloped oval. I appreciate your stopping by and hope you'll join me tomorrow for the SU Demo Fun Fold Hop. 

Let's take a look at today's creations...

 

 

 and the inside is the same for both cards...

Stampin' Up! Cross of Hope Easter Card

 Today is another card for one of the church shut ins. 

 

My card base is Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2". The mat is Shaded Spruce 4" x 5 1/4" (but to me it looks like Garden Green in the photo) and another mat which is Soft Sea Foam 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".

 

On a panel of 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" Basic White, I stamped palm fronds from the retired Faith Collection Stamp Set. I stamped full strength and then twice again without reinking.

 

The cross solid piece is cut with a retired Cross of Hope Framelits die out of Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP (retired). The lattice top is Basic White sponged with Soft Sea Foam ink. (I didn't have any scraps of Soft Sea Foam!) The sentiment is from the retired You're Inspiring Stamp Set. The cross and sentiment are popped up with Dimensionals.

 

For the inside... 

 

The butterfly is from the retired Daffodil Daydreams Stamp Set and is stamped with Lemon Lolly ink. The sentiment is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set stamped in Shaded Spruce. I added a strip of the Specialty Paper at the bottom, which matched the inside of solid part of the cross.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

 

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Birthday Card

Hello my stamping friends. I'm giving you a break from tulips and going roses! I participate in Mystery Stamping with Dani Gurrola and here's a thumbnail of what I created. 

and here's what we were to work with for February.

So, after you choose what stamp set, papers, ink and embellishments you want to use, you prepare everything exactly as shown in the photo. She usually posts this a week before stamping. Then she does a live video where you put it together exactly like her design and submit it to Pink Barn Stampers after she provides the link. If your card is randomly chosen, she has a gift for you. I followed her design except for where I placed the sentiment so I am not in the running but I'll submit it anyway. However, my next card should be exact and I'll show you that next Wednesday! But for now, here's a larger view of the front and inside...

 

 

The product I used is in the chart. Dani's sentiment was placed in the middle off to the right. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll keep visiting.

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.

Thank you for stopping by!
 

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!
