Stampin’ Up! Delivering Christmas Cheer for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
14

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. We have a new hopper with us starting this week, Tara Carpenter has joined us, YAY!! If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used my favorite set for today’s blog hop, the Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Set along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Whimsy & Wonder DSP to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then 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 stamped the legwarmer image in Polished Pink Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow & Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banners Pick A Punch. I cut a strip of Polished Pink cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch and adhered the sentiment to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Golden Pumpkins

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. My team is planning on having an all day event on Facebook for World Card Making Day on Saturday October 2nd. I’ll be posting the link by the end of the week. There will be live videos every hour on the hour along with posts all day and Prize Patrol. Come join in the fun!!!

Today’s card is a CASE’d card from one of my team members Terry Lynn. She made this gorgeous card and I asked her if I could use it for my class next Tuesday. You can see Terry Lynn’s card Here. I added my own little touches, but the basic design is all hers.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Bundle along with the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the detailed pumpkin image using the Detailed Pumpkins Dies from a panel of Gold Foil Paper. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Gold Foil Mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed Gold Foil pumpkin to the layered panel using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a small piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it 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! Beauty Of Tomorrow Fun Fold

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you are having a productive one.

I know it’s not Friday, but I have a simple fun fold card for you today. A couple weeks ago my team had an ARTisan Pizza Party on Facebook. If you were able to join in the fun, thank you. If you did join in you saw that I had a fun fold card demo. I thought I’d share the card with you today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by scoring and folding an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ Blackberry Bliss card base as 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″.

I adhered 2 panels of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to Gold Foil mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panel to the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as shown above.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the sentiment panel to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I put Stampin’ Dimensionals only on 1/2 of the layered panel and adhered it to the card front.

I added 2 Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the floral image and the bird from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once, by the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment panel to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure that it was behind the card front sentiment panel. I added another Rhinestone Basic Jewel just below the inside sentiment panel.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral and bird images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkin Picture This

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous fall weekend here, blue skies and in the 70’s.

Today’s card is all about Fall!! It’s that time of year where the pumpkins are ready to be picked and the leaves are changing. I used one of my favorite fall sets from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.


I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkin Cling Stamp Set along with the Harvest Meadow and Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Papers for my card today.

I joined in with the TGIF Challenge #335 this week with their inspiration photo.

I started by adhering a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP using the Picture This Dies. I place a panel of Very Vanilla card stock under the die and lightly traced the rectangles so I knew where I could stamp.

Using my Pretty Pumpkins stamp set, I stamped the 2 pumpkin vine images on the top of the panel, the sentiment in the center and the pumpkin trio on the bottom in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once I colored all the images in I erased the pencil drawn lines.

I adhered the die cut panel to the Very Vanilla panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the pumpkin trio image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin and vine images from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow 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! Snow Wonder

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going?

Last week my upline decided that each month we’re going to do a Mystery Stamping event so that we can get together to stamp virtually. Today’s card is the one that I made during that. It was really hard because she gave us all the measurements of the cardstock, but didn’t tell us anything else. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for next months. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a small panel of Basic Gray cardstock using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of the Peaceful Place Spec. DSP to the Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored just the holly, berries and scarf in using my Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snow Time Dies.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Snow Time Dies, keeping the sentiment as far to the left as possible. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I overlapped the snowman with the sentiment just a little and adhered it using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Pool Party 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 finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Peaceful Place Spec. 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! Many Messages Wild Birthday Card

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is starting out to be a good one.

Today’s card I let the DSP do most of the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Sale-a-bration Host Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In The Wild DSP to a Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 3 panel of the In The Wild DSP to 3 Cajun Craze mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Messages Dies. I cut the smallest tag from the Tailored Made Tags Dies from a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Seal. I threaded a piece of Black Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut one of the tigers out of the In The Wild DSP and adhered it to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the In the Wild 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves for Fun Fold Friday.

Posted on by
10

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and I believe Sunday too.

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! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the SAB Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the Double D Challenge this week. Their theme is ‘LEAVES’.

I started by scoring and folding a Sahara Sand card base at 5 1/2″ & 2 3/4″ to make a Z-Fold card. I adhered 2 smaller panels of the Peaceful Prints DSP to the smaller panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I put torn Post-It Notes on the top and bottom of the panel to leave a framed area. I stamped the leaf images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink multiple times. Using my Blending Brushes I added some Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler Ink to the stamped area until I got the color that I wanted. I stamped the small leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink randomly around. I removed the sticky notes frame and stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set on the top of the panel in Old Olive Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the front panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half.

I cut 2 leaves from a panel of Gold & Rose Gold 6 X 6 Metallic Specialty Paper using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves to the stamped panel using Glue Dots. I tied a triple bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the 2 corners. I stamped the small leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the larger leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure it’s lined up behind the front panel.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Inks on the envelope front along with the splotch image in Crushed Curry. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Prints 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 the 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.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkin for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
13

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 Color Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set the Stampin’ Up! Encircled in Friendship Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

These are the beautiful colors we had to work with this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Everyday Label Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few of the gold leaves from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack to the card front under the label using Glue Dots. I added a few gold Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the fern image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off once, to the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty 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.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Birthday

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and the weekend is right around the corner.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Sunny Sunflowers. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set for my Free Style Collage Card. I was inspired by the beautiful sunflower bouquet and the colors.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #160.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a Smoky Slate card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Blending Brush, I brushed a little Smoky Slate Ink over the embossed panel to give it a little color. I adhered the card front to a Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Just Jade, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampn’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Sunflower Dies. I cut 5 of the sprig dies using the Sunflower Dies from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I cut the large leaf die from the Beautiful Leaves Dies from a panel of Garden Green cardstock.

I adhered the large Garden Green leaf to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the sunflowers the way I wanted them and adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sprigs under the sunflowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the stems only. I made a triple loop bow using the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and adhered it to the center of the sunflowers using a Glue Dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered it to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in 2 of the corners of the panel and colored them in the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the sunflowers in the same as I did for the card.

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