Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jillian Good’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Birthday”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Cling Stamp Set for my card along with some Sale-a-bration DSP. Here’s my card.

My sketch is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #250

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set on the bottom of a Sahara Sand card front in Night of Navy Ink. I embossed the card front using my Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 3 panels of the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item), to 3 Rococo Rose mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 matted panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon to a thin strip of Night of Navy cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the matted DSP panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, above and below the sentiment . I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Paper Blooms DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Hello

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did everyone enjoy the Super Bowl?

I played with a couple bundles for today’s card. Once again, I couldn’t make up my mind what to use. I used the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Bundle for my card. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #307.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Textured 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Many Layered Blooms Die, I cut a panel of Petal Pink card stock and a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. I adhered the Mint Macaron to the top of the Petal Pink using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the thicker spots. I adhered the die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Many Messages set is such an awesome set. It’s 1 stamp that you stamp all these sentiments and 1 die that cuts them all at once. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Cling Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration item), in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I just love the fonts and sentiments from this stamp set. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the leaf image from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink next to the flowers. I stamped the flower center in Coastal Cabana Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set I stamped the small flower on the envelope front and flap in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the leaf image near the flowers in Mint Macaron Ink and the flower centers in Coastal Cabana Ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Valentine

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! I hope if your team is playing tonight, it’s a good game. It was a busy day at work yesterday, almost 200 shovels were sold. I don’t know what everyone does with the ones they bought last weekend. We’re back to snowing here!! Last I heard we’re expecting another 8″. I’ll be sending everyone else out to shovel this time. The mounds are too high for me to throw the snow over, plus I’m planning on staying in today and stamping.

I have another quick and easy Valentine card for you today. I have to admit, when I first got this Acetate Paper, I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I have so many ideas running through my head, I can’t keep up. I did use multiple stamp set for my card, since I couldn’t make up my mind. Here’s my simple card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper and the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate Paper. I played along with Just Us Girls challenge #570. They have a Word Week and it’s Valentine.

I started by adhering the Golden Garden paper to a panel of Fine Art Floral DSP using Glue Dots in spots that were not going to be noticeable. I adhered the card front to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon around the top of the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the matted card front to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Petal Pink card stock I stamped the sentiment from the Meant To Be stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink over the bottom of the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Many Hearts Dies. I adhered the heart to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower from the Art Gallery stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower from the Art Gallery stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Valentine

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? Is anyone doing anything fun? I have work all day today, but I’m off tomorrow, YAY!!! We’re expecting it to be a really busy day at the store due to more snow coming tomorrow. 2 1/2 feet wasn’t enough for us to get this week and of course nobody has shovels or salt, so they will be in. Will anyone be watching the Super Bowl? My husband will have it on, but his team isn’t playing so it’ll probably be more background noise. He’s a huge Pittsburg Steelers fan, me I’m not a big football fan at all. Growing up my father liked all sports, but never was a fan of specific teams. He just liked to watch the games.

I have another quick and easy Valentine card for you today using one of the new sets from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Bundle for my card today. This is a sketch from my Upline Jaimie along with colors she gave us to work with.

I started by embossing a Real Red card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On 3 strips of Pool Party cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lots Of Heart Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I used washi tape to cover the words I wasn’t stamping on each strip. I adhered the strips on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that I had a little wiggle room to get them lined up.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the row of hearts image from the Lots Of Heart stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Resin Hearts to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Lots Of Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Lots Of Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment and colored them in using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut a heart out under the sentiment using the Many Hearts Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from Lots Of Heart stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the flowers in using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance For Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? We’re upon a weekend already. This week just flew by for me. I guess with the snow Monday and Tuesday and working yesterday and today, it’s just gone.

Sorry I missed doing a Facebook live on Wednesday. I had a tooth ache so I went to the dentist (where you would normally go for that). 3 hours later I was still there, UGH!! Unfortunately I have to go for a root canal this morning and then to work from there. Fun times. So I changed my fun fold for today for a simple one using some NEW product that I received yesterday YAY!!! The gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Fab Friday Color Challenge #206.

I started by adhering a panel of the new Butterfly Bijou 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I scored and folded a Blushing Bride card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card in half and then folded the front panel back and adhered it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. This stamp set is one large background stamp that when you use the dies cuts it into 6 butterflies. I cut the butterflies out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I colored the largest butterfly in using my Water Painters filled with alcohol and Bumblebee Ink on a clear block.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the branch and floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Water Painter filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride Ink on a clear block and my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, only on half of the panel. I adhered the butterfly to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside back of the Blushing Bride card base. I colored the other butterflies using the Water Painters filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride and Bumblebee Inks on clear blocks and my Ivory Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!

I adhered the artwork to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Berry Blessings

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It started snowing here on Sunday afternoon, continued through all day Monday leaving us with over 2 feet of snow on the ground. It snowed on and off all day yesterday and it’s still snowing this morning. I guess this is making up for us not getting any snow at all last year. My oldest and his girlfriend built an igloo in our backyard that they were sitting in last night and my backyard still has 2′ covering it.

It’s time for another Inspiration Challenge from The Card ConceptFor the next 2 weeks we have a Sweetheart Sweet challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. I was inspired by the delicious looking chocolate cupcakes with the sweet raspberries on top from the inspiration photo. I just love Early Espresso and Flirty Flamingo together.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join use this week to play along with our challenge #148. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing an Early Espresso card front using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Berry Blessings stamp set, on a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem image in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the fill leaf image and the fill stem image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink and the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once over the outline image. I cut the image out using my Layering Squares Dies. I cut a scalloped square mat using the Layering Square Dies from a panel of Flirty Flamingo Ink. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front under the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few white Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front.

Using the Berry Blessing stamp set on a Basic White panel, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem images in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the leaf and stem fill images in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink stamping off once. I stamped the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, over the outline image. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the berries in the center of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and raspberry image from the Berry Blessings stamp set on the front of the envelope the same as I did on the card front. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper 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!!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Masculine

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? Ours has started with a HUGE snow storm. I’ve learned not to believe weather forecasts until they happen, I guess they were right this time. I went into work yesterday, even though the store was closed, to get my bills done and caught up on my work. The walk in was bad, but the walk home was horrible. I couldn’t see the snow was coming down so hard and nothing was plowed or shoveled. That was the best workout I’ve ever gotten just walking to and from work. The snow was at my knees at 1pm yesterday when I walked home and it’s still coming down this morning. This makes up for not having any snow last year. I’ll be heading back into work this morning to finish everything up since I had to leave early yesterday.

I have a masculine card for you today. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, but every once in a while something will pop in my head and I run with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Ivory and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Tasteful Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the smallest circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a scrap of Crushed Curry cardstock and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the bird out using my Dockside Dies and adhered it to the circle using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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!!
