This little piggy isn’t running all the way home…he’s skipping and smelling the flowers along the way! I don’t think he could be any more adorable!

Thank you to the CAS(E) this Sketch design team for giving my card an honorable mention last week with sketch 225! An honor indeed!! I love the sketch this week so I pulled out This Little Piggy and played along 🙂

Details:

  • I love that this darling Pool Party pattern from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper mimics the flower that piggy is holding almost perfectly! I also love the play of black and blue so decided not to color the piggy in, just the flower, using my Pool Party Stampin’ Marker.
  • A single Rhinestone Basic Jewel adorns the center of the flower. Fabulous sparkle!
  • This 3/8″ Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon is very rich looking and feeling. Soft as satin but also like someone dropped it in a bucket of glitter, only without the mess (thank heavens for that!)

  • I thought the sentiment “you make me happy” could be used for many different occasions so I decided for a generic greeting inside to match. I think it also covers a wide variety of occasions – I like to hedge my bets since I’m not sure who it’s going to right now!
  • The “sending hugs” is from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. They are separate stamps so I used my MISTI to line everything up. I lined it up well vertically but ended up slightly to the left of center…no worries! A sweet little flower from the image on the front balances everything and ties the inside and outside together like it was intentional! lol

Here’s the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch that inspired today’s clean and layered card:

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Please let me know what you think of this darling piggy! Is this stamp set something you would add to your collection?

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!

  • 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!

You've Got This Thinking of You Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Today’s card is for a special young lady who just received a breast cancer diagnosis. I wanted to send a note to offer support and encouragement for the journey ahead of her.

Details:

  • Thick Whisper White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack in Powder Pink, cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Whisper White layer, cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • I used the stamp set “You’ve Got This”. It seemed fitting. Just two images stamped on the front, one in Powder Pink and the other in Memento Tuxedo Black.

  • I added a sentiment from the same set to the inside.
  • I love the enamel dots, they are perfect for mailing, so I borrowed some Blushing Bride enamel dots for a bit more interest. I think they match well!!

Quick post tonight, lots to do but wanted to get this in the mail!!

**This is my second post today. Please scroll down to see Day 11 of the Card Challenge and please forgive me for posting twice as I am catching up on publishing my posts.**

Stampin Up Garden in Bloom Just Because Card Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

Ummm, yum! I can’t STAND how darling this color combination is!! This card may look clean and simple but it actually took about two hours and lots and lots of do overs until I was happy with the outcome, but man oh man am I happy with it! Worth every piece of card stock!!

The Details:

  • Base is Thick Whisper White card stock, cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″and scored at 5 1/2″
  • The Peekaboo Peach Designer Series paper is from the 2016-2018 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack and is cut to 3 5/8″ x 4 5/8″
  • The Mint Macaroon Designer Series Paper is from the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper and is cut to 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″
  • The top layer is Thick Whisper White, cut to 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″
  • I felt that the Peekaboo Peach layer didn’t have quite enough impact, so I trimmed it to a slightly larger size than the other two layers

  • This darling flower is from another 3 layer stamp set called Garden in Bloom. I only used 2 layers though, the outline and the filler. I tried adding in the detail stamp but it just didn’t work for me today, so I left it out on both the flower and the leaves
  • This color combination of Peekaboo Peach and mint Macaron just blows me away…I LOVE it!!! I started with Pear Pizzazz but it wasn’t working for me either. Did I mention I stamped this a zillion times before I was happy?
  • The sentiment is from Blooms & Wishes. This is the stamp set I started out with but just couldn’t make the flowers work for me today…so I changed the flowers but kept the sentiment. LOVE the font!!

  • I tried adding Enamel Shapes. I tried adding Pearls. I tried adding Rhinestones. Nope. In the end I used only Wink of Stella. The card shimmers SO prettily! I wish I could capture it with my camera!

Super clean and simple. Super cheerful. I’m in love with the colors…what do yo think?

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!
