Stampin' Up! Thank You Greeting Card - Doodling

Today is my second feature of doodling a Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - a Thank You card.  This card spotlights the Stampin' Up! Blossom Petals Punch and the wonderful, new Stampin' Up! color, Pool Party from the 2011-2013 In-Color Collection.

As you know, doodling is drawing shapes that have no real meaning and can be abstract in form.  Therefore, I cannot explain how I doodle.  But I will say, just let your pen take you where ever you feel it should go and draw shapes that you enjoy - diamonds, Xs, squares, flowers, petals, circles, rectangles, squiggly lines, straight lines, wavy lines, etc., etc.  I encourage you to try it.  It's very relaxing, and I think it enhances Stampin' Up! products.


Here's a closeup of the doodling:


The card base is Stampin' Up! Basic Black Cardstock, the second layer is the beautiful Pool Party Cardstock, and the third layer is from My Digital Studio, 2011-2013 In-Color Playful Patterns.  Other Stampin' Up! products used for this project are:

Elegant Thank You Stamp Set
5/8" Whisper White Brad from the Neutrals Assortment
Basic Black Designer Button from the Neutrals Collection
Basic Black Brad from the Neutrals Collection

I think I like this card better than the one I shared on Monday.  What do you think?

Don't forget to come back for the next doodling card this week.

Stampin' Up! Fabulous Florets - Doodling

This week's postings will feature Stampin' Up! greeting cards made by doodling.  I've enjoyed doodling for some time, and it's a good stress reliever.  Today's card spotlights doodling on two of the stamp images from the Stampin' Up! Fabulous Florets Stamp Set.  Because I doodled in black ink, the card is basically black and white.  When I started to make the card, I thought of a friend who I met last year on the Auto Train while traveling from Florida to Virginia.  She loves black and white cards.  So this card is dedicated to you, Ginny! 


Here's a closeup of my doodling:


The base for the card is Stampin' Up! Basic Black Cardstock that I embellished with the Stampin' Up! Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder.  I highlighted the flower centers with a White Gel Pen.  The first card layer is made with the new, beautiful Stampin' Up! cardstock color, Lucky Limeade, from the new In-Color Collection.  The top layer is Stampin' Up! Whisper White Cardstock.  The three-loop bow was made from Stampin' Up! Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  You may purchase the Stampin' Up! products used in this project by clicking on the links within the post.  They will take you directly to the product.

I encourage you to try this technique.  You'll find it very fun and relaxing. 

Don't forget to come back for the next doodling card this week.

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Pocketful of Posies DSP - Thinking of You

Are you one who says, "I can't make Stampin' Up! greeting cards"?  If you are, I have a very simple card share today, one that anyone can make.  It is simply made from Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Pocketful of Posies.  Any DSP will work!  Just pick one and start layering.

My card features one of the new In-Color colors, Island Indigo.  (Love the new Stampin' Up! colors!)  The first layer on the card is from the So Saffron design from the Pocketful of Posies DSP.  The second layer is the Island Indigo floral design, which has the Poppy Parade design on the back.  The Poppy Parade design was used for the triangular shape on the top layer.  The sentiment, "Thinking of You...", is a stamp image from the Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set.  Here is the card.


See how easy!  Now it's your turn!

Beyond the Garden Happy Birthday Greeting Card

My Stampin' Up! Greeting Card share today is quite different, and it features the Beyond the Garden DSP.  I decided to cut a piece of the DSP, ensuring I cut around the flowers on the paper to create a card front.  After adhering the DSP to the card front, I cut the cardstock (Bashful Blue) around the flowers of the DSP.  Here is the card.


Here is the inside of the card.


If you will note, the front of the card has a ladybug and butterfly perched on the flowers.  The ladybug was made using the Circle Itty Bitty Shapes Punch (body and wings) and an eye from the Owl Punch (head).  The butterfly is a stamp image from the Flower Fest Stamp Set.  The card front bow was made from Marina Mist Ribbon. 

At first glance, the "Just for You" sentiment appears to be on the card front; however, the second picture above shows it's on the inside of the card.  This sentiment is a stamp image from the new catalog's, Tagtastic Stamp Set (Hostess).  As you can see, I created a pocket on the inside of the card and inserted a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that says, "Happy Birthday".  The Happy Birthday sentiment is a stamp image from the Swirls & Curls Verses (Hostess) Stamp Set.   The following picture better shows the "Happy Birthday" insert.



I think the card is pretty cool!  What do you think?

Build A Cupcake Waterfall Happy Birthday Greeting Card

CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE - STAMPINGWITHGUNEAUXDESIGNS.COM
                                                         - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My card share today features the WATERFALL TECHNIQUE and spotlights the Stampin' Up! Create A Cupcake Stamp Set; thus, the card is called "Build A Cupcake Waterfall Happy Birthday Greeting Card".  This is the first time I've created a card using the waterfall technique and I enjoyed it.  The card's "waterfall" reflects the process of "building" a cupcake.

Besides the Pink Pirouette Cardstock, the card is made with the new Stampin' Up! In-Color Collection, the Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder Cardstock.  I hope you like the card.



The following pictures are closeups of each section of the "waterfall".  Each sentiment and piece of the cupcake was made with a stamp image from the Stampin' Up! Create A Cupcake Stamp Set and cut out with the Stampin' Up! Cupcake Punch.  This section is the cupcake wrapper, which is made with the Pool Party Cardstock and Ink.


This section is the cupcake wrapper and the cupcake's icing, which is made with Pink Pirouette Cardstock and Ink, and is spritzed with the Stampin' Up! Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.




This section is the cupcake wrapper, icing, and sprinkles.



This section, which completes the cupcake, is the cupcake wrapper, icing, sprinkles, and a cherry. 


If you need a tutorial on how to make a waterfall card, please don't hesitate to ask.
