Stampin-Up-Wish-You-Well-Sympathy-Card-Idea-Shannon-Jaramillo-stampinup-SU

“Inspiration is some mysterious blessing which happens when the wheels are turning smoothly” -Quentin Blake

Measurements:

  • Soft Suede Card Base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Tranquil Tide Layer 4″ x 5/14″
  • DSP Layer 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Smaller Tranquil Tide Layer 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
  • Stamped White Card Stock 2 1/2″ x 4″

Details:

  • I loved the card I shared yesterday and decided to  use the same concept on another card, this time with a bit of me in the design 🙂
  • I used Soft Suede and Tranquil Tide to compliment this GORGEOUS paper.
  • I added a layer of card stock underneath the DSP as I felt the two layers showcased the gorgeous DSP more fully. (There’s that word again :))

  • I popped the stamped panel up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added some sparkly gold twine.
  • I added gold sequins to the stamped panel and turned the banner around on the sentiment layer. I also found this darling sequin in my stash in the perfect color to add a bit of color and dimension!

  • The inside of the card and the envelope have been stamped with the same gorgeous bouquet and bow. This color combination really makes me happy! (My mother says blue and brown don’t go together but I have always been a bit rebellious!)

Are you sold on this stamp set yet? You can still purchase it through today so don’t wait!!

I appreciate your visit to my little piece of the internet where I can share what makes me happy!

I am really enjoying taking each of the new In-Colors for a test spin! Each time I use a new product I think it HAS to be my favorite! Until the next new product! lol

Dimensions:

  • Tranquil Tide card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Delightful Daisy Designer Series paper cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″

Details:

  • I adore monochromatic cards. Choosing just one color really lets it shine. And hopefully this will give you a better idea of the rich deep color that is Tranquil Tide. In the words of Frenchie, “It’s Divoon!” (Please let me know if you get that reference :))
  • I cut the layer of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper to be a quarter inch larger than the Whisper White panel because I really wanted to show off the paper. And I love tilt-y angles!
  • This new Oh My Stars Embossing Folder is a great addition to my collection. The stars are a unique style and perfectly textured. A fabulous neutral backdrop for just about any stamp!

Blooms-&-Wishes-Oh-My-Stars-Love-and-Friendship-Cards-Ideas-Shannon-Jaramillo-stampinup

  • The sentiment and the floral stamps on both the sentiment layer as well as the envelope are from the Blooms & Wishes photopolymer stamp set. They are so sweet and delicate!
  • Am I getting better at my messy thread look? I hope so…practice makes perfect!

  • And oh my ribbon!! This is a great blend to work with…and it comes in every new In-Color!

With Sympathy Sympathy Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Lil Inkers

Hello my friends! I had fun getting inky this weekend with a new challenge! I had an idea for a card in my head but when I was flipping through stamp sets I came across this never-been-inked set from Lil ‘Inkers and changed direction completely! I love when that happens!

The Details:

  • White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Enchanted Evening card stock card stock cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Pattern Paper cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • White card stock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″

With Sympathy Sympathy Cards Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Lil InkersIt was super fun to play with all of the “inky” blooms in this set, throwing another one here or there while staying within the guidelines of the sketch. I used Spring Rain for the flowers and Soft Stone for the three random dots stamp that I used on yesterday’s card as well. I’m on a bit of a tear to “bash my stash” so I found three darling itty bitty buttons and attached them with glue dots.

Masculine Card Idea – 30 Day Card Challenge, Day 7

Stampin Up Masculine From Land to Sea Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

I’ve switched gears to share an idea for a masculine card, we ALWAYS need those!

The Details:

  • The Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack is a 6″ x 6″ paper stack that is perfect for gender neutral cards! I have showcased two different patterns today
  • I chose Crumb Cake, Tip Tip Taupe and Marina Mist to coordinate with the pattern papers
  • Layers are a fun way to add depth and interest while still keeping the design clean

Stampin Up Masculine Land to Sea Card Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

  • The From Land To Sea stamp set has wonderful realistic seaside images, I used my paper snips to trim out this one which reminds me of the Saint Augustine Lighthouse. So pretty!
  • The sentiment and the ‘sand dune’ are from the recently retired but hugely popular Thoughtful Branches Photopolymer Stamp set but you could use really any sentiment you want. I love this one because it covers SO many occasions!
  • Did you see the tiny scallops around the sentiment! It’s from the Layered Circles Framelits Dies, the scallops get so cute as they get smaller!

  • The tiny bits of Marina Mist really help to add visual interest while the bits of Linen Thread do that as well as adding a “beachy” vibe.
  • I refrained from using any Wink of Stella on this card…it was tough to do!!

I hope you are enjoying the daily inspiration, I sure am having fun creating them!

Stampin' Up! Remarkable You More Thinking of You Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

I’m humbled to be this week’s hostess for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. I’ve created a sketch that can be interpreted many ways…I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

FMS Final 247-001

How are you inspired to create a card? Do you start by going through your paper stash? Or going through your stamp stash? Do you cruise through Pinterest? All of those are great options and work well for me. I’d love to hear what inspires you!

For today’s card, I browsed my paper stash and found two patterns of paper in the Scenic Sayings 6×6 paper stack. I loved the way the colors played off of each other so I pulled out them out!

Helpful Hints:

  • Color Coordination – Delightful Dijon and Old Olive are both colors used in the Serene Scenery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Stack and look amazing together! I paired them up with Chocolate Chip and rounded off with Very Vanilla
  • It’s easy to keep design minimal with the bold and graphic images in the Remarkable You stamp set.
  • Have you seen the Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set? It will be only be available for purchase August 1st through 31st! The font on the sentiments is amazing!

  • A simple way to ground your design is to make sure all three elements, in this case the flower, the sentiment and the heart, touch.
  • I borrowed a trick from my up-line Mary Fish’s bag and punched a heart from the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinly Dies in Cherry Cobbler. I love the pop of color it provides!

I had so much fun with this week’s sketch and I look forward to seeing your creations on the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog!
