A Sweet Goodbye to Penned & Painted – The Paper Players 342

A Sweet Goodbye to Penned & Painted Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

I had a bit of time to create this weekend…this is the first of a few cards I’m looking forward to sharing with you!

This card was created with someone special in mind and I’m looking forward to popping it in the mail to her! I hope it brightens her day!

Details:

  • Thick Whisper White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper cut to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Old Olive card stock cut to 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • Sweet Sugarplum card stock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Whisper White card stock card stock cut to 3 5/8″ x 4 4/8″

  • Penned and Painted (which will be retiring May 31st) is a 3-step stamp set, perfect for building detailed images! I started with the outline stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The sweet pink of the filler images is Sweet Sugarplum, stamped off once. The last image is the detail image, also stamped in Sweet Sugarplum but at full strength this time. So pretty!
  • The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and perfectly coordinate with this yummy new Mini Chevron Ribbon which is available in the new catalog! I came in with a close up so you could see the chevron detail…and it ties like a dream!
  • A few layers of color and some Stampin’ Dimensionals help the focal image really pop off of the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper. This gingham pattern is far and away my favorite!! It was hard, but I managed to turn the gingham pattern over to show off the pretty paper on the reverse side, which I used to decorate my envelope flap!

  • This sweet sentiment is a favorite of mine from the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit…and will be retiring on May 31st so make sure to add it to your collection before it is gone forever!
  • A visual triangle of Rhinestone Basic Jewels is the perfect finish touch!

A huge thank you to The Paper Players design team for inspiring this card with their tic-tac-toe challenge (I LOVE these challenges!) I went across the bottom with Pink, Leaf/Leaves and Flower:

I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and create something soft and pretty. The three step stamp set Penned and Painted is perfect for that feel!

The Details:

  • Thick Whisper White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″
  • This bold black and white pattern from the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper Pack is a wonderful compliment to the soft pretty flowers
  • I used a thin slice of Basic Black card stock to add separation between the flower panel and the designer series paper

  • These flowers are created with three different stamps. The first is the outline stamp which I stamped with Watermelon Wonder. The second layer is the flower filler stamp which I stamped with Flirty Flamingo, and stamped the ink off once on scrap paper before stamping on my project. This leaves a softer color. The third layer is the flower detail stamp. I stamped this layer in Flirty Flamingo as well, only I did not stamp off and so got the full color effect. The leaves follow the same concept, only this time I used only Pear Pizzazz, stamping both the outline and the detail stamps at full strength and the flower filler stamp stamped off once.
  • Isn’t the font on the greeting darling? It’s from the Cottage Greetings stamp set and will be a staple in my stamp stash for years. I love the flirty script!

  • Sequins hide a multitude of sins, today’s being that I smudged ink across the top of my panel while stamping!

I’m still hanging in there with this card challenge! Day 5, only 25 more to go! I had a reader ask about the challenge and realized that I hadn’t provided the details so…a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator only Facebook group I belong to has challenged its members to create and post daily. The prize at the end is a free stamp set, which is enticing in itself, but I really just want to make my stamping a priority and do a little every day, it’s great stress relief after a busy work day!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I’d love to hear from you as to what you have been stamping lately!
