Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I think most of us may have had a short week, which I love. I’ll be working only on Sunday this weekend, so it’s really a short week for me. Does anyone have any plans yet?

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Bundle along with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.

My design is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #365.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketch Challenge #422.

I started by embossing both sides of a Soft Succulent card base using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Thick Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of the Gorgeous Grape Ombre Specialty Paper to a small Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal just on the center of the panel. I adhered the matted panel to the Ombre card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using the middle Encircled In Beauty Dies. Using my Layering Circle Dies I cut a Basic White circle that would fit in the center of the detailed die. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of the circle. I stamped the single flower image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the detailed die using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside of the small card base I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the small card base to the matted panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom front of a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2021- 2023 In-Color 6 X 6 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Update on the July-December Mini Catalog

Stampin’ Up! has let us know that they have decided to postpone the July-December Mini Catalog by one month. Due to shipping issues, too many of the new items were not available for the catalog kickoff in July.  Many items would be turned off and unorderable.   Therefore, they made the hard decision to postpone it one month, and the same will go for the second Sale-a-bration Catalog.   They will now launch for customers Aug 3.  
If you are a demonstrator, we will be able to see the catalogs in PDF form on June 22, and preorder product beginning July 1 – another HUGE perk of being a demonstrator!

Stampin’ Up! Snailed It for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkle, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Snail Mail Suite for my card today. This suite is only available until June 30th.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #258.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom and snail image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. For the snails body, I used my Water Painters filled with alcohol and some Blushing Bride Ink on one of my blocks. I cut the images out using my Snail Dies and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front I tied a small double bow using the Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the retiring Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to 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. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Amy’s page. Or you can just click on the names below to go directly to all their blogs! Happy Hopping!!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Father’s Day

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Hope you all enjoy your shortened week if you have one.

Today’s card is the last card we made at my Stamp Camp card class last night. Everyone seemed to have a good time and left with some very handsome cards. For the last one I got a little harder, by not too hard. When my daughter saw this card she asked if it could be hers to give my husband for Father’s Day. I told her yes and she picked the inside sentiment. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Bundle for my card today along with the retiring Well Suited Designer Series Paper.

I played along with The Spot challenge #164Let’s Hear It For The Boys.

I started by adhering a panel of the Well Suited DSP to a Basic Gray card front on an angle using Stampin’ Seal. Using my Paper Snips, I trimmed off the DSP that was hanging over the card front. I adhered the card front to a Merry Merlot card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock I stamped the hat image from the Stampin’ Up! Hats Off Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the hat out using my Hat Builder Dies. On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the #1 image from the Hats Off stamp set in Basic Gray Ink and cut it out using my Hat Builder Dies. I adhered it to the hat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the hat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few silver Metallic Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I cut the small hat out from the Hat Builder Dies from the panel of Merry Merlot cardstock and adhered it by the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Merry Merlot card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the hat image from the Hats Off stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Medium Envelope front. I stamped the ‘DAD’ sentiment from the Hats Off stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the hat. I adhered a panel of Well Suited 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! Enjoy The Moment Masculine Fun Fold

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Happy June!!! How was everyone’s Memorial Day? I had my niece and her boys over for a picnic. It was nice getting together with family. I’ll be at work all day for my 1st of the month billing. I usually have off on Tuesday’s except on the last and first of the month. I do get off tomorrow though YAY!! Tonight we have our monthly Stamp Camp card class. I’m really looking forward to tonight’s class. Last month I gave everyone a stamp set and a pack of DSP and gave them homework to design and make a card to bring tonight to class. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created with the product I gave them.

Today’s card is one that we will be making tonight at my Stamp Camp card class. Even though it’s a fun fold, it’s a simple one. I’ve made all the scores for everyone, so they just have to adhere the paper and do a little stamping. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Cling Stamp Set for my card today along with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering the end section of the card base together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the inside sealing front to back together.

I adhered the small panel of Well Suited DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the sealed side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Night of Navy Bakers Twine from the Well Suited Twine Combo Pack (this will be retiring at the end of June), around the end twice and tied a small bow.

I adhered a panel of the Well Suited DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Cajun Craze card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White card stock I stamped the image from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the floral image. I cut the image out using the smallest die from my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Night of Navy mat which I cut from the next largest die from the Hippo & Friends Dies, using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Better Places Host Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered a strip of Well Suited DSP to the side 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 Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the image from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a panel of the Well Suited 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!!
