Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and HAPPY LAST DAY OF MARCH!!!! Tomorrow is April 1st and in my mind that means the weather should warm up and this cold air should be gone. Fingers crossed.

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. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Bundle along with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I cut 7/8″ off the top and bottom of the panel of New Horizons DSP. I adhered the 2 cut pieces to a Blackberry Bliss card base. I stamped the bird image from On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top panel. I stamped the grass image from On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the 2 1/2″ center panel on both sides. I adhered the 2 1/2″ panel of New Horizons DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat and then to the Blackberry Bliss card base between the 2 adhered panels.

Using my Horizons Dies, I cut the fence from a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the card front 1/4″ up from the bottom. I added Pebbles Enamel Shapes along both fences.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the wood image from On The Horizon stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the image out using my Horizon Dies. I stamped the sentiment from On The Horizons stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the wood panel. I adhered Gray Granite Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack to the top of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the sentiment over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from On The Horizons stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the grass image from On The Horizons stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and adhered a strip of New Horizons DSP along the very bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird and grass images from On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a strip of New Horizons 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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans. It’s warming up here a little, hopefully to stay this time.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends Cling Stamp Set along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my clean and simple card today. The Bunnies and colors were my inspiration from the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #172.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to a Balmy Blue card base. I stamped the bunny image from Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the gras image from the Easter Friends stamp set below the bunny in Pear Pizzazz Ink.

I cut the 3rd largest Scalloped Contours Die from a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the bunny image to the center using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a strip of You’re A Peach DSP I cut the eggs using the Birds & More Dies(retiring May 2). I adhered 1 using a Glue Dot and the others using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Balmy Blue cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end of the sentiment strip using my Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Calypso Coral Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the grass image from Easter Friends stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink along the bottom of the panel. I adhered the eggs cut from the panel of You’re A Peach DSP using the Birds & More Dies along the bottom of the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of You’re A Peach DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer CAS

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

Today’s card is a super simple quick card. I don’t do simple too often, but I wanted to try this and I was happy with the results so I made it into a card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set along with the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today. I played along with the CAS on Friday Challenge #227 ‘Flowers’.

I started by stamping the larger floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Heart & Home DSP card front.

I colored just the leaves of the image in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Marker.

I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the floral image. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Heart & Home DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Giraffe

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? The cold weather is back here for us. It’s only supposed to get up to 36 today and drop to 23 tonight. We even had a snow squall go through yesterday while I was at work. We may skip spring this year and go right to summer like we have in the past.

Today’s card is a special one. Some of you know that I was a Girl Scout when I was younger, and I was Girl Scout Leader for 13 years for my daughter. I had girls from kindergarten all the way up to graduation from high school. I bridged them to adult Girl Scouts in June of 2016. One of my girl scouts that I had for the full 13 years, I always called her the wild child, was in a car accident a few weeks ago. She got banged up pretty bad was in the hospital for a week and had to have knee surgery along with some others. I thought I’d make her a card letting her know that we were thinking of her and hoping that she has a speedy recovery. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Bumblebee card base. I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of In The Wild DSP to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and set aside.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped just the leaf from the sloth image on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the layered panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Trim around the layered panels and tied a bow. On a small piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment out from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it our using my Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the left of the artwork using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the giraffe image to the right of the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In The Wild 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. Don’t forget that this stamp set, and both of the DSP’s will be retiring soon on May 2nd. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at work all day today. I had yesterday off and I did some reorganizing of my craft area. Time to weed out the old and make room for the new. I pulled retiring stamp sets, dies, embossing folders and embellishments from my stash. It’s looking kind of empty now. Not for long though, Friday we get to place our preorder YAY!!!

Today’s card I made just because I wanted to. I had no reason and for no one specific. I just like to have encouragement cards on hand for when I need them. I actually used a color that I don’t use all that often since it’s not one of my favorites. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #685.

I joined in with the Global Design Projects Theme Challenge #335.

My design is from Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #649.

I started by adhering a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Soft Succulent mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rain boots image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I stamped the tulips in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut all the images out using my Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the stems to the boots using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the boots and stems to the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tulips on top of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using the lattice die from the Rain Boots Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the lattice using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front to look like raindrops.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the tulips on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the tulips from the Flowering Rain Boots on the stems in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields 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! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

  • Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Foil

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I actually have off today, YAY!!! I do have to work all day tomorrow though.

Today’s card is a quick one that I threw together using some old and new items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Blue Foil Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Coastal Cabana panel of the Blue Foil Paper using my Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I cut a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Seaside Seashells Dies. I only cut the larger seaweed part of the die. I snipped it using my Paper Snips. On a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock I stamped the seaweed image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. On a scrap or Soft Sea Foam cardstock I stamped the smaller seaweed image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink and the small scalloped sea shell in Blushing Bride Ink. On a panel of Shimmer White cardstock I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the shells and seaweed images out using my Seaside Seashells Dies. I cut the sentiment out using my Waves Dies.

I threaded 2 pieces of the Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon through the die cut sentiment and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the ribbon on the back of the card front using Tear & Tape. I arranged the shells and seaweed the way I wanted and adhered them using Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the sentiment panel. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the seaweed images and the seashell from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat and then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. On the envelope front I stamped the seaweed and seashells from the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Waves of The Ocean 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! Easter Friends for Fun Fold Friday with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you looking forward to the weekend? I have off on Saturday and have to work all day on Sunday.

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! Easter Friends Cling Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Fresh Freesia card base. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I fussy cut the bunny using my Paper Snips. I adhered the bunny to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut out the smallest 2 dies from the Flowers of Home Dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the 2 stems to the bunny’s hands using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a few Loose Flower Flourishes to the stems using Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the shadowbox frame I started by adhering a panel of Heart & Home DSP to a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. You do not have to adhere the DSP to the cardstock, I just wanted to make sure it was going to be very stable. I scored it on the 5 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 1″, 4 1/2″ & 5″. I cut the center out using the 2nd largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I folded on the score lines making the 1″ & 4 1/2″ mountain folds and the 1/2″ & 5″ valley folds. I adhered the frame to the card front using Tear & Tape adhesive.

Here is a view from the top. The cardstock helped to make it pop out a bit.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the frame using Glue Dots. I added a few more of the Loose Flower Flourishes to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set to the side of the sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the grass image below the bunny in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front stamping off once. I stamped the grass image in Pear Pizzazz Ink below the bunny. I adhered a panel of Pansy Petals 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my 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! Dahlia Days for Happy Inkin’ Krew 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. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days Bundle along with the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

I started by cutting a panel of Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum using my Detailed Dahlia Die. I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Dahlia Days Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock. Using my Dahlia Days stamp set I stamped the small floral image in Fresh Freesia Ink twice, the fern image in Misty Moonlight Ink twice and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink twice all on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using my Detailed Dahlia Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using my Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the large die cut flower to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I arranged the other die cut pieces behind the flower and adhered them with Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the detailed die cut panel of Shimmer Vellum to the front of the card base. I adhered the card front over the die cut vellum using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to the right side of the inside of the card base. On a Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the tiny flower cluster from the Dahlia Days stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top and bottom corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base overlapping the DSP just a tiny amount.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large dahlia image from the Dahlia Days stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaves around the dahlia in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed 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 and see everyone’s projects today.
