Stampin' Up! More OSW Painterly Pears

Here's more of the One Sheet Wonder cards. I posted a batch here and I still have another batch, which I will post on Tuesday.




Now, what am I going to do with all these cards?? They'll probably be donated or sold. Perhaps I have 12 birthdays coming up this spring :-)

Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! More Painterly Pears OSW

Good morning, peeps. This DSP is almost gone! As much as I love it, I didn't want to hoard it...so unlike me. The first time I posted about Lynn Dunn's one sheet wonder is here. That one was a single card. 

These cards show more of the OSW created as multiples...







There's more to come but for now, thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew Birthday Card

Good morning stamping friends. My card today still used the retired Painterly Pears DSP but the sentiments are new in the Online Store for March. The design came from the Pink Barn Stampers Mystery Challenge. Here's my card...

and here is what I had to follow for measurements...


My card base is Basic White and I embossed it with the retired All in a Row EF. As I mentioned, the DSP is the retired Painterly Pears and my mat is Petal Pink. The ink for the sentiment is Mossy Meadow. It's a 1" x 1" piece of Basic White. Both the front and the inside sentiment are from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set. The flowers on the inside are stamped in Petal Pink from the Painterly Pears set.

I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front and a 1/2" strip of DSP to the inside.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend.

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears Birthday Card

Good morning stamping friends. I have another card using the Designer Series Paper that was just discontinued. I have a whole pocket full so I'll be showing them more than one in a post because they were created as a One Sheet Wonder video that I saw from Lynn Dunn. Today's is the only one that was not a multiple. Take a look see...


I love this paper and ribbon. The Mossy Meadow & Gold ribbon is still current but it's on the low inventory list. 

Here's what the inside looks like...

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears Birthday Card for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

 Welcome to the AIK monthly blog hop. Our theme for this month is "Celebrate Spring" and we can  use any product we wish.  The list of hoppers is at the end of my post. I hope you'll hop along. 

Here's a thumbnail of what I created... 

 Let's take another look... 

 

At the time I created my card I was using the Painterly Pears DSP, which was on the Last Chance List but is now discontinued...what a shame! You'll be seeing a lot of this paper in future posts, trust me!!

In any event, my card base is Old Olive with a mat of Secret Sea. I embossed a piece of Lemon Lolly with the All in a Row Embossing Folder, which was current at the time and is now discontinued. So sorry for all the sad news. However, there is some good news too...

The sentiments are from the current Easter Basket and Cutest Crew Stamp Sets! Yay...there are many cards you can make with those sets and trust me, they are cute AND Eastery. You might see some on my blog one of these days.

Let's take a look at the inside...

 
More sad news...I used the Perfectly Pears Dies to cut out pears from the DSP. Those dies were discontinued just a few days ago! The leaves are from the retired Stippled Roses Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the retired Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set. 

Here's some semi good news about the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes...they are currently unavailable BUT you can go to the product in SU and request an email to let you know when they are back in stock. As of today, they are estimated to be back the week of April 27 but the dates have often changed to sooner.

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears Friendship Card

Happy Thursday, stamping friends. My card today was a piece of cake...or I should say fruit! The Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper did all the work. Take a look see...


My card base is Secret Sea card stock with a mat of Daffodil Delight Beautiful Bokeh DSP. Then comes the star of the show, Painterly Pears DSP. I tied a piece of Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon around and made a faux bow for it.

I used a Spellbinders die that was bequeathed to me to cut out the Daffodil Delight sentiment. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink. The sentiment is from the retired True Beauty Stamp Set. Three Darling Duckling Low-Profile Sparkle Dots finished the front.

For the inside...

 


The "friend" sentiment is from the retired Fruit Basket Stamp Set. The "here for you" sentiment is from the True Beauty set. Both are stamped with Secret Sea ink. I added the comma and exclamation point with a Secret Sea Stamp N Write Marker.

I used a die from the Perfectly Pears set to cut out the pears from another pattern in the Painterly Pears DSP. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our monthly Creative Creases Challenge.

Stampin' Up! Calming Camellia Friendship Card

Good Sunday morning, stamping friends. I never thought I would love this Designer Series Paper so much. The stamp set in the title is one I had in my inventory and I had not used any of the sentiments. The Calming Camellia set retired in 2022! I'm entering my card in the NBUS Challenge #77. I haven't played there in forever! Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Encouragement Card

Hello my stamping friends! Today's card is brought to you by the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper. This has become my favorite DSP. 

 

I like this design because it shows off both sides of the DSP...you'll see in a minute.

My card base is Secret Sea card stock and measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 1" on the 5 1/4" side; embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D folder.

The front panel of DSP measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

The Modern Oval Punch was used for the front sentiment and the dots are done free hand.

The ribbon is Secret Sea Faux Linen 3/8".


The inside panel measures 4" x 5 1/4" and the DSP strip measures 4" x  1".

The sentiments are from the retired Unbounded Love Stamp Set stamped in Secret Sea.

Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your visits AND your comments!
