Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - White on White

The Late-Night Stampers group's card challenge (131) for this week is to create a Stampin' Up! Greeting Card that is white-on-white.  I created this card for the challenge, and I must say it was difficult to use only white and to create texture and layers that could been seen easily. 


I started the card by dry embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I highlighted each dot on the edges of the cardstock with the Stampin' Up! Frost White Shimmer Paint.  Then I dry embossed another piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Stampin' Up! Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and wet embossed the lines with the VersaMarker and Stampin' White Embossing Powder.   I placed Basic Pearls Jewels strategically within the embossed Elegant Lines. 

Using the Bird Builder Punch, I cut out two birds and their wings.  I covered the birds' bodies with White Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink and their wings with Dazzling Diamonds.  I used a pearl for their eyes.  I cut out an oval by using the new Designer Frames Embossing Folder and I wet embossed it with the White Stampin' Embossing Powder.  I attached the very bottom of one of the birds to the oval, leaving the bird raised up.  Using two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the oval and bird onto the second layer of Whisper White cardstock. 

I used the Boho Blossoms Punch to create two layered flowers that I covered with the Stampin' Up! Frost White Shimmer Paint and placed a pearl in their centers.  I adhered the flowers onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White 5/8" Organza Ribbon that I wrapped around the cardstock in two places. Then I attached the second bird adjacent to the larger layered flower on the ribbon.  I attached this card layer onto the first layer, aligning the layer within the polka dots.

Stampin' Up! "Birds in the Vines" Greeting Card

As promised, I have another Stampin' Up! Greeting Card featuring the Stampin' Up! Sun Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) from My Digital Studio.  This design from the Sun Garden DSP is beautiful also.  I love the little birds all through the vines, thus, the title of my card.  I have to say, you cannot beat the cost of the MDS downloads when you compare the product received.  For example, this MDS DSP has 12 designs, all for just $4.95 (USA)!

 
The first, second, and third card layers are from the Sun Garden DSP.  They, too, are beautiful.  This card is embellished with a strip or Calypso Coral ribbon made with the Stampin' Up! Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  The bigger bird and vines were made with the Stampin' Up! Two-Step Bird Punch and Calypso Coral cardstock.  The "Just for You" sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! Just Believe Stamp Set.  I hope you enjoy the card.

Stampin' Up! Sun Garden Greeting Card

Thanks for stopping in to see my Stampin' Up! Greeting Cards!  Today's share was created with the latest My Digital Studio (MDS) download, the Sun Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Isn't the paper beautiful?  And the download is just $4.95 (USA) for 12 designs!


I embellished this card with flowers I made by using the Stampin' Up! Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.  The flowers are setting on top of three layers of cardstock cut out with the Stampin' Up! Top Note Bigz Die.  The greenery is from the Stampin' Up! Two-Step Bird Punch.  The cardstock used is from the new In-Color Collection, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.

As I was making the card, I searched for some matching ribbon.  Well, the ribbon I found is a perfect match; however, it is retired.  Hope you enjoyed the card.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Thanks Greeting Card & Doodling

It is Friday and my last feature of a Stampin' Up! Greeting Card and doodling (or zentangling) for a while.  I hope you have enjoyed this week's projects.  I have enjoyed zentangling the greeting cards.  Today's card share is a "heartfelt thanks" to you for supporting me this week with my art.  I greatly appreciate your emails and comments.

This card spotlights three stamp images from the Stampin' Up! Sweetheart Stamp Set.  I've had this stamp set for some time, and today is the first time I've used it.  I really like the outcome.


For the card base, one stamp image, and sponging, I used one of my favorite colors in cardstock and ink -  Cajun Craze.  I also used Basic Black, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White cardstock for the first, second, and third card layers.  

If you would like to leave a comment about this week's projects, please do so.  If you would like to purchase any of the products used for this project, just click on the links and you'll be taken directly to the on-line product for purchase.

Stampin' Up! Greeting Card - Flower Fancy - Doodling

This is my fourth "doodled" Stampin' Up! Greeting Card share for this week.  This card features one of the stamp images from the Stampin' Up! Flower Fancy Stamp Set.  Using one of the floral images covered with the new In-Color, Cylpso Coral ink, I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock and, after doodling, colored in the white spaces with the Cylpso Coral Stampin' Write Marker that is from the 2011-2013 In-Color Collection. I love the new In-Colors!



I cut out the doodled flower and placed it on whisper white cardstock that I had stamped the same image on, but with Baja Breeze ink.  I doodled a stem for the flower on Lucky Limeade cardstock and cut and pasted it under the flower.  Because the doodling is in black ink, I added Basic Black cardstock as a layer to the card and used the Cylpso Coral cardstock as the card's base.  The sentiment, Birthday Wishes, is from the Stampin' Up! Bring on the Cake Stamp Set.

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