Hello Friends! I hope you are having a marvelous weekend! It’s hot here so I’m enjoying some air conditioning and quiet crafty time. There’s nothing better, right? I finally found a sketch perfect for this tall slender bloom from a new stamp from Stampin’ Up! called Flirty Flowers. This stamp set is so dainty and sweet that it made it to the very tip top of my must have list!

This set pairs SO well with these prints from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack. I almost passed on this DSP on my first order, I’m so glad I didn’t, it looks amazing!

Details:

  • Can you see the sparkle on the pretty flower? It dazzles and for once, the camera caught it! I’m SO excited!!
  • I used the same striped Sweet Sugarplum pattern that was used for the envelope liner to back the floral pattern, the main image and the sentiment rather than card stock. It just looked softer, somehow.
  • I stamped the matching image in the front of the envelope…it’s just THAT sweet!
  • The ribbons are amazing this year so I’m trying to feature them as much as I can. Here I’ve used the 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Sweet Sugarplum. It’s not stiff like grosgrain ribbons have been in the past, it’s very soft and flexible.

  • I used the smallest circle in the Layering Circles Framelits Dies for the sentiment and backed it with another circle punched with the 1 1/4″ punch in order to be consistent with the width of all the layers.
  • I can’t say enough about the Glimmer Enamel Dots. They are so very sparkly and can be used with so MANY colors. Just buy two packs!

  • The Soft Sayings Card Kit has a fantastic choice of sentiments! I love the classic font on this sentiment, it looks so nice against the stripes of the envelope liner!

Thank you to the talented designers of the CAS(E) this Sketch design team for another fun sketch!

See you next time!!

Stampin Up Awesomely Artistic Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

The talented Rita Wright of the Freshly Made Sketches Design Team has created a fun sketch for us this week!

FMS Final 246 due Jul 18

I combined this sketch with the Black & White challenge over at Stamp Ink Paper to come up with a classic wedding card!

Stampin Up Awesomely Artistic Care Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Stampinup

Helpful Hints: 

  • The Lots of Labels Framelits Dies make a beautifully shaped tag element. I stamped my image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set, used one Lots of Labels Framelit Die to die cut the image and then ran it through the Big Shot again, using the the next size down Lots of Labels Framelit Die.
  • Yep, I used the Bunches of Banners Framelit Dies again…they are SO versatile! And there are SO many options of stamp sets to combine it with…you can’t go wrong!!
  • This lovely sentiment can be found in the Basket for You Hostess Stamp Set, available for purchase with any order $150 or more!
  • Black Metallic Thread satisfies one of the design elements while also adding a touch of elegance. Three strategically sequins are the perfect final touch of pizzazz!

Here is the banner for the Stamp Ink Paper challenge, such a fun idea!

On Your Day – Fusion Card Challenge

by // // 16 Comments

Welcome to a new edition of the Fusion Card Challenge! Lesley has a fun color combination and cute sketch sure to inspire!

FusionSketch-10_29_15I have several poppy stamps but I chose to use just the sketch this week. The flourish reminded me of elegant, and elegant made me think of another challenge that I could play along with, so I found some stamps and went to work!

On Your Day – Fusion Card ChallengeThe last card I made had a circle element on it too and I had had the thought (after my card was done, of course) that I could have used patterned paper instead of just solid cardstock for the circle, so for this card, that’s just what I did! A few sparkles add just enough bling, I think 🙂

On Your Day – Fusion Card ChallengeI have also incorporated the theme over at The Challenge into my card today:

I’m also playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes!

Soft and Romantic Congrats – Sunday Stamps 105 & FMS 194

by // // 8 Comments

Welcome Friends! It’s Sunday and that means another challenge from Sunday Stamps is all lined up for you!

07:12SSC105fAren’t these colors AMAZING?? They make me want to make something soft and romantic! And just coincidentally, I have a wedding reception to attend this weekend! Perfect!!

Soft and Romantic Congrats - Sunday Stamps 105 & FMS 194I pulled out a mixture of current and retired Stampin’ Up! stamps for this project. I have saved this stamp set called Love and Laughter for years, hoping to get a chance to use it and now that I have the chance, I wasn’t going to pass it up simply because the stamp set is retired!! I don’t go to many weddings anymore I guess!

I paired it up with a delightful image from a current set called Awesomely Artistic. I think the image is reminiscent of a bridal bouquet.

Soft and Romantic Congrats - Sunday Stamps 105 & FMS 194I love the softness of the stamping done in Simon Says Stamp Fog for the lighter gray and then Smoke for the darker gray. I kept the sentiment in the lighter color but punched it out with the Washi Tape punch to give it a bit more presence.

Soft and Romantic Congrats - Sunday Stamps 105 & FMS 194It took just a few minutes to snip the image out and adhere it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I found this delightful adhesive glimmer dot in my collection…I think it looks perfect!!

I backed the front panel with some Fog cardstock and then popped the whole thing up with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the card base. I also stamped coordinating images on the envelope. I hope they like it!!

I used the sketch by the delightful Linda Callahan over at Freshly Made Sketches as my jumping off point for this card…I hope they can still see it in there!!

FMS Final 194-001Thanks so much for visiting me, I know I’ve been quiet lately but the summer is the one time that the pace of my husband’s job slows down a bit so I like to spend every minute that I can with him! I will be back more regularly in August!!

I hope you love the colors as much as I do!! Please be inspired by the rest of the awesome designs by the Sunday Stamps design team and I can’t wait to see your designs as well!

Wishing you joy and blessings!
