Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning and Happy New Year’s Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready to say good-bye to 2020? I sure am. This will be a year to remember for sure, a different kind of year. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our theme for this week.

Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card today along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a Pool Party card front to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the waffle image on top of the cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut the cone out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set 3 times on the panel of Whisper White cardstock, once in Petal Pink Ink, once in Bumblebee Ink stamped off once and once in Soft Seafoam Ink. I cut all the images out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink multiple times on the panel. I adhered the ice cream cone to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Soft Seafoam ice cream on top of the cone using Glue Dots. I adhered the Bumblebee ice cream on top of the Soft Seafoam using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Petal Pink on the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items used for my card will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Amy’s page.

Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Sneak Peek CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Happy New Year’s Eve Eve. Well, it’s almost time to say good bye to 2020. I have to admit, I’m not going to miss this year. There were a few highlights for me, one was after 14 years we finally went on a family vacation to Disney. I’m hoping 2021 will be a healthy year for all and we can get past this Covid and go back to our ‘normal’ lives. How about you, what are you all hoping for?

For today’s card I went out of my comfort zone a little bit, every once in a while I like to do that. Everyone knows I love my colors. Sometimes I use 2 or 3 and other times I used 5 or 6. Well, not today. Today is Black and White. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. This set is a free Sale-A-Bration item with a qualifying purchase. I also used the True Love Designer Series Paper, but didn’t add color this time.

I started by embossing a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the True Love DSP to the right side of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the humming bird, butterfly and sentiment from the A Touch of Ink stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered the die cut images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the True Love DSP to either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered The Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the butterfly and humming bird images from the A Touch of Ink stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of True Love DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. The items to make this card will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Sneak Peek

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? I’m working again today, but I do have off tomorrow. Is anyone starting to make any plans for New Year’s Eve? We’ll be staying home.

I have another sneak peek for you today from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Berry Delight Designer Series Paper that is bunded with another stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I started by embossing a Garden Green card front using the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delight DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Striped Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the outline of the flowers from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink above and below the sentiment. I stamped the flower fill images in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamped off twice, over the outline image. I stamped the outline leaf image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Garden Green Ink by the flowers. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once, over the outline image. I cut the stamped panel out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a scallop square mat, which I cut from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using my Layering Squares Dies, using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the square to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the outline flower images from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the panel corners. I stamped the fill images in Blackberry Bliss Ink, some stamped off once and some twice. I stamped the leaf outline image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set around the flowers in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the leaf fill image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once, over the outlined image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delight DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items I used for my card today will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Hey Girlfriend Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you all ready for another short week? I know I am. I’m really looking forward to next week when I can get back to my ‘normal’ routine. I feel like I have been in overdrive for the past 3 weeks. I need some catch up time and re-organizing time. Anyone else with me on that one?

I have another sneak peek for you using a really cute set coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5th. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Hey Girlfriend Cling Stamp Set for my card today along with some Rainbow Glimmer Paper.

I started by embossing a Magenta Madness card front using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped one of the girl images, the dog image and the balloon image from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the images in using my Blackberry Bliss, Bronze, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a small scrap of Rainbow Glimmer Paper I stamped the girl image from Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, making sure to get mainly the dress. I colored the belt of the dress in using my Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Marker, fussy cut the dress using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the artwork out using the largest oval from the Layering Ovals Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment into a banner using the Pick A Banner Punch. I made a banner from a thin strip of Mango Melody cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the top using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the balloon image from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment and colored the balloons in using my Magenta Madness and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mango Melody mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped one of the girl images from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Bronze, Ivory, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Artistry Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. This set will be available in less than 10 days from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5, 2021. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sympathy Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had to work all day yesterday and again today. I’m looking forward to another short week coming up, how about you?

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set to make a sympathy card for you today. This set will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #487. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the edges of a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Ornate Borders Dies. I adhered a strip of Fine Art Floral DSP to the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment into a banner using my Banner Triple Punch and stamped it with the large floral image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the bannered sentiment to a strip of Pool Party cardstock, which I cut using the Banners Pick A Punch, using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the large floral image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the floral image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front. I stamped once full strength and a couple more times stamped off once. I adhered a panel of the Fine Art Floral DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. The stamp set and DSP will be available in less than 10 days from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap Sneak Peek

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s Christmas? I had a very quiet one this year, it was just my husband, daughter and I at home. We usually have all the family over for Christmas Eve, but with everything going on right now, I felt better with no one coming over. I hope you were all able to spend some time with loved ones in one way or another. Was Santa good to all of you? Maybe some new stamp sets or DSP.

I have a sneak peek for you of an upcoming set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I saw this set and my little nephew loves alligators and crocodiles so I just had to get it. It’s the Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from the Fab Friday Challenge #204. Here are their colors.

I played along with Crazy 4 Challenges #565 using sketch #518. Here is their challenge.

I started by stamping the crocodile, fish and frog images from the Oh Snap stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the leaf image from the Oh Snap stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images in using my Poppy Parade & Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers.

I stamped the sentiments from the Oh Snap stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink on the panel on top and center of the crocodile.

I adhered a panel of Pear Pizzazz Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the smallest circle from the Layering Circles Dies out of a scrap of Poppy Parade cardstock and adhered it in the top corner of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a piece of the Seaside Spray 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon to the right side using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the crocodile and fish images from the Oh Snap stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Oh Snap stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink on the panel. I colored the images in using my Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. Since I am hand delivering the card I stamped the whole crocodile image from the Oh Snap stamp set on the front of the envelope along with the fish image. I colored the images in using my Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you like my card. The stamp set I used will be available on January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. If you need a demonstrator and would like a copy of the catalog, drop me a line at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I will get one out to you. Happy Stamping!!

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning and Merry Christmas Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready for the big day? I’m as ready as I’m going to be this year. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here’s my card using the sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Bundle for my card today.

I started by coloring a panel of the new True Love Designer Series Paper (coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog) using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered a panel of the True Love DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched rectangle panel to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of 1/4″ Old Olive Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Onate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the True Love DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a panel of the colored True Love DSP to the envelope front and the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week starting out? The next 2 weeks will be short working weeks for most. I know I’m looking forward to having Thursday and Friday off this week. I’ve gotten most of my cookie trays done, so I’m going to deliver a few this morning before going in to work. I’ll deliver the rest tomorrow.

For today’s card I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and mixed it with the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #466. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Playful Pets Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a small panel of Playful Pets DSP using Stampin’ Seal over the 1st panel.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dog bowl image from the Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a tiny amount of color around the edges of the bowl using my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker then used the Color Lifter to remove most of the color. I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dog image from the Pampered Pets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the dog in using my Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Pets Dies and adhered it to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Messages Die. This bundle is 1 stamp with many sentiments on it and 1 die that cuts out all the sentiments at once and will be available January 5, 2021. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple of the Playful Pets Trinkets, one to the sentiment and one on the dog.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pampered Pets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the dog and bowl images from the Pampered Pets stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dog and bowl images from the Pampered Pets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Playful Pets DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.
