Love and Hugs – Freshly Made Sketches 372

Stampin-Up-Ribbon-of-Courage-Love-and-Friendship-Card-Idea-Shannon-Jaramillo-stampinup-SU

Greetings and salutations!! I have been quiet on the blogging front while I reorganize my creative space. There’s just something about the new year that makes me want to clean up and clean out! I took a break from organizing and saw the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge sketch on Facebook. It inspired to push my project aside for the evening and play along!

Measurements:

  • Lovely Lipstick Card Base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Flirty Flamingo Card Stock Layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Crumb Cake Card Stock Layer 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • Lovely Lipstick Card Stock 4″ x 3″
  • Flirty Flamingo Card Stock Layer 4″ x 2 7/8″
  • DSP Layer 4″ x 2 3/4″
  • Vellum Layer 4″ x 1 3/8″

Details:

  • I began my design with the long rectangle element. In looking over my stamps I saw the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and thought that would do nicely. Bonus: I have not inked this set up until now! (Shout out to Patty Bennett who collaborated with Stampin’ Up! on the design of this stamp set and coordinating dies after she reached $1,000,000 in lifetime sales!)
  • The All My Love DSP was at the front of my new DSP bin so I paired this lovely pattern up with Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake card stock.
  • The Crumb Cake piece has been run through the Big Shot with the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder. It’s hard to see so I probably should have run it through twice (oops!).

  • I stamped this darling sentiment onto vellum with Versamark ink, sprinkled on Black Embossing Powder, and then set the powder with my heat gun. (so pretty!) I secured the vellum to the DSP with a big glue dot under the ribbon die and used a bit of Ranger Multi Medium Matte fine tip glue to carefully apply a small amount of glue to the back of the embossed sentiment. It’s kind of a sneaky way to get the vellum stuck down without the glue showing!
  • I popped the ribbon die up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhered it to the card front and then went a little crazy with the Wink of Stella 🙂 Note: Use care with Wink of Stella on any shade of red, the color can bleed into the white space!
  • A few artisan pearls to help draw the eye to the sentiment and of course one more off to the left to create a visual triangle.

  • Lastly, here is the inside of the card. I layered white card stock onto Flirty Flamingo and used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to add two lovely little flower accents from the Make a Difference stamp set. I used both shades of Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick and Sea Foam Green Stampin’ Blends to color them in. SO STINKIN’ CUTE!!
  • As always, I’ve covered the envelope flap with the same pretty DSP. My motto is to leave no space unadorned!! 🙂

Introducing Daisy Delight!

Introducing Daisy Delight Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Greetings! This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend OnStage Local in San Diego. This is an event put on by Stampin’ Up! for its’ demonstrators and provides us the chance to see the NEW CATALOG!! A great day indeed! And not only see it, but hold it, love on it, and take it home! It was a full day! And along with the great day, we get a chance to order new product! I’m excited to share some new products with you!

Introducing Daisy Delight Card Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Details:

  • First up is the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and coordinating Daisy Punch! It’s a great design as you get to choose the fullness of the daisy. Here I stamped and punched the daisy in Crushed Curry three times to achieve this full look.
  • There are also two-step leaf stamps in the Daisy Delight Stamp Set. I stamped both the outline and the inside detail in Old Olive, stamping off once for the inside stamp so it would be a slightly lighter shade.
  • How about that flower center?!? Stampin’ Up! will be offering some fabulous new embellishments in the new catalog (available for order on June 2nd). I used a Gold Faceted Gem for the center of my daisy…and they are available in three sizes!!
  • Isn’t the sentiment super sweet and pretty? It’s from another new set called Ribbon of Courage…more fabulousness in that set as well, samples coming!
  • Did I use a paint chip on my card today? Nope! I used the upcoming Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack! Both the crackled paint and the paint chip patterns are in the stack and available in Crushed Curry, Dapper Denim, Berry Burst and Old Olive.

  • The new catalog has SO many new ribbons in great textures and colors, I can hardly wait to get my hands on all of them! The one I featured today is the 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon in Crushed Curry. I tied a knot so you would be able to see that although the ribbon looks very thick, it still ties down very nicely, without a lot of bulk.
  • One more bit of fabulousness to mention is the new Glitter Enamel Dots!! Seriously fabulous. They come in four colors again and just like the paper, they gradate in shade from dark to light and they SPARKLE 🙂

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my take on some new product from Stampin’ Up! that will be available to order on June 2nd. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog (free) please send me an email and I will get one out to you after May 2nd!

Thanks for stopping by!!
