Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Celebrate Together CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Our weather man got it wrong again. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day here.

Today’s card is a step up from yesterday’s. I’m really loving this new set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Hand-Penned DSP to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the top and bottom images from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Ivory, Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pale Papaya and Mint Macaron Inks on the top of the Basic White panel. On a small panel of Hand-Penned DSP I stamped the skirt from the bottom image Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the skirt using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the stamped image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I embossed a small panel of Pale Papaya cardstock using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the back of the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Hand-Penned DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Hand-Penned 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. This stamp set will be available starting August 3rd from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

July-December 2021 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper Share

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on August 3 and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of August 9.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $25.00 plus $5.00 for 1st Class Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following new DSP packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Painted Christmas – 6

Double DSP Share – $50 + $7.75 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, that’s fine too.  I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Gingerbread & Peppermint, Cute Halloween and Kraft 6″ × 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Birthday CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you are planning some fun activities this weekend. I’m kind of happy I have to work, the forecast is thunderstorms and rain, but living in NJ that could change in an hour.

For today and tomorrow’s cards I have a sneak peek for you using a new set coming in the July – December 2021 Mini Catalog. Today’s is a CAS card using the basics Stamp, Ink & Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I stamped 2 of the images from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock, making sure to line up the top with the bottom.

I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Ivory, Pale Papaya, So Saffron & Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Inks on the top of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel 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 adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ UP Shaded Summer for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all weekend between both jobs. I had requested Sunday off, but I guess they didn’t see it when they made up the schedule.

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! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Summer Shadow Dies (available August 3rd as a Sale-a-bration item).

This is the template for making my card. I started by cutting a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock as in the diagram above.

I adhered 2 panels of the Petal Pink Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series paper to the card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Subtle DSP to the inside card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I made the belly band using a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and wrapped it around the finished card. I adhered Tear & Tape to the ends of the belly band to adhere them together. I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped it with the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Happenings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using the Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered it to the belly band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestones to the belly band.

For the inside panel I stamped the 2 floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink over the floral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to only the bottom portion of the easel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Using the Summer Shadow Dies (Sale-a-bration item available August 3rd). I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral and Shaded Spruce cardstocks to an Adhesive Sheet. I cut the detailed flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. I cut the solid flowers from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock. I cut the detailed leaves from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock and the solid leaves from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the detailed flowers and leaves to the solid flowers and leaves using the Adhesive Sheet. I adhered the flowers to the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a Champagne Rhinestone to the center of the larger flower. I didn’t stamp a sentiment on the inside. I need to write a special message for the recipient of the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Petal Pink Subtle 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. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home 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 Akiko Sudano’s blog, 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 beautiful projects. I have a little sneak peek for you today coming from the August-December 2021 Mini Catalog that will be available August 3rd. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Cling Stamp Set which will be a Sale-A-Bration item starting on August 3rd.

I started by stamping the large image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image our using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I had to adjust the size of the die by cutting part of the image, turning the panel around and moving the die matching up the stitching and cutting the other half. I adhered the artwork to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb cake Ink. I tore the edges of the paper and sponged the rough edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I embossed a Crumb Cake card front using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (available August 3rd) and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set on a Basic White panel. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged the edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the image with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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! Tidings and Trimmings

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend once again. We’ve had a bit of a heat wave again here. I think we hit 98 with the real feel of 107. I’m loving it!!! The only thing that could be better is if I was walking along the beach while it’s this hot.

Last night we had our Stamp Camp class. The ladies had fun making 4 cards and a gift box. My card for today was originally going to be a card we were making, but I changed my mind the last minute. We’ll be making this card at another class since I already have everything cut and ready to go. And yes, Christmas in July, I gave in!! Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings Bundle along with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I wrapped a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon around the bottom of the panel and adhered it in the back with a little Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the 2 stockings from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the stockings out using my Christmas Trimmings Dies and adhered them to the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a little sprig from a scrap of Gold Foil Sheet using my Christmas Trimmings Dies and adhered it under the stocking using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim and adhered it to the stocking using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gilded Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stocking image from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on either side of the sentiment . I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stocking image from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front and adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas 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 Seascape Thanks

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? We’re going back to our heat advisory here again, real feel temps here are expected to be 104. Guess I’ll be doing any outside work early in the morning.

I played around with my blending brushes for today’s card along with the masking technique. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Bundle for my card along with a lot of colors.

I started by cutting the fish image using the Sea Life Dies from a Basic White card front. This image does not cut out the fish completely. If I wanted it cut out I needed to use my Paper Snips. I cut another fish from a sticky note using the Sea Life Dies. I adhered the sticky not on top of the cut fish on my Basic White panel and began my blending. I started on the bottom with Sahara Sand Ink and using my Blending Brush I added the amount of color I wanted. Using my Blending Brushes I added Pool Party Ink to the top of the panel, Coastal Cabana Ink below that and Bermuda Bay Ink on the bottom above the sand. Once I was done, I removed the sticky note and my fish was nice and clean. I added a panel of the darker end of the Mango Melody Ombre Specialty Paper behind the fish using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the seaweed image from the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on either side of the panel. I stamped the sand image from the Seascape stamp set along the bottom of the panel in Sahara Sand Ink. Using my Sea Life Dies I cut out the coral image from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. I cut the die in half and adhered the 2 pieces on either side of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Coastal Cabana card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver Epoxy Essentials above the fish.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Seascape stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the one end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Seascape stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sand image from the Seascape stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the seaweed in Just Jade Ink on the side and the fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink along the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Seascape stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the seaweed image in Just Jade Ink on the side and the fish image across the bottom in Calypso Coral Ink. On the envelope flap, I used my Blending Brushes like I did for the card front.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Sympathy

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independence Day!! Hope you have some fun plans for today. I’m having a relaxing day at home, no plans here.

Today’s card is a similar design that I did this past week, I just change the image and paper a little. This is one we will probably be making at my class on Tuesday night. I had one person ask for a nautical card, one ask for a sympathy and one ask to use a specific stamp set. So I used all 3 suggestions in 1 card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Night of Navy cardstock I stamped the sentiment form the Sailing Home stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies, with the sentiment on the very bottom. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd from the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. Using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers, I added a little color around the lighthouse image. I added a little color for the sand on the bottom of the image using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Gray Granite Ink and cut the image out using my Smooth Sailing Dies. I cut the helm die from the Smooth Sailing Dies, from a scrap of In Good Taste DSP and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a silver Metallic Pearl to the center of the helm. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite Bakers Twine, from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, through the top of the anchor and wrapped it around the card front and tied a knot in the back. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the compass image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once on the envelope front and the anchor image in Gray Granite Ink on top of the compass. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Hope you all enjoy your 4th of July festivities and if you have off tomorrow, enjoy your day off. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Hello Friend

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope you have some fun plans for this weekend. Maybe a picnic, some fireworks. Whatever you have plans, have fun and stay safe.

Today’s card is a pretty simple one that I let the DSP do most the work and I played with my Stamparatus. I think we might be making this card at next week’s class. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Expressions In Ink DSP to a Gold Foil Sheet mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the card front 3 times using my Stamparatus to get placement exact. I stamped the ‘friend’ sentiment over the last ‘hello’ in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I cut a panel of Just Jade cardstock with the leaf die from the Artistic Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, around the layered panel and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Polished Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Just Jade Ink around the flower image. I adhered the Basie White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Polished Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaves from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Just Jade Ink around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Expressions In Ink Specialty 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!!
