Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Shimmery Card

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Happy Mother’s Day!!! I hope you all have a relaxing day and maybe get some ‘YOU’ time in with some stamping or whatever you enjoy doing. I’m hoping not to work and get some stamping time in.

Today’s card is another version of yesterday’s card. We made this card at my card class last week. I gave everyone the option of either using DSP or the embossing folder. Here’s the alternative card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set for this card along with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I started by embossing a panel of the Shimmer White paper using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a small panel of Sand & Sea DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. Using my Delightful Tag Topper Punch, I cut the top of the panel. I stamped the starfish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on either side of the sentiment. On a small panel of Blushing Bride cardstock I stamped the starfish and seashell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink. Using my Delightful Tag Topper Punch I cut the top of the Blushing Bride panel.

I threaded a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon through the 2 tags and tied a bow with a piece of Linen Thread around the ribbon. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the shell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set along the bottom front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the seashell images on the envelope front in Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of the Sand & Sea 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!!

Today’s card is another one we made at my last card class. I stepped it up for the last card we made just a bit. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle along with the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sand & Sea DSP to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a small panel of Sand & Sea DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. Using my Delightful Tag Topper Punch, I cut the top of the panel. I stamped the starfish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink above the sentiment. On a small panel of Blushing Bride cardstock I stamped the starfish image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink. Using my Delightful Tag Topper Punch I cut the top of the Blushing Bride panel.

I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a small panel of Shimmery White cardstock and cut the image out using my Seaside Shells Dies.

I threaded a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon through the 2 tags and tied a bow with a piece of Linen Thread around the ribbon. I adhered the tags to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sand dollar to the side of the tags on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the shell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on either side of the sentiment . I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set along the bottom front of the envelope in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the seashell images on the envelope front in Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of the Sand & Sea DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I hope that anyone that’s a Mother can find some special time for yourself, maybe do some stamping. I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and most likely on 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! Sweet Strawberry Bundle for my fun fold card today. Unfortunately the Strawberry Builder Punch is not orderable right now, but hopefully it’ll be back by the end of the month. I also used the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper that is only available to Hosts or if you place an order of $150 or more and use your Stampin’ Rewards to purchase it. This is such an awesome pack of DSP with 48 sheets of colored designs on one side and black & white prints on the other. I’d be happy to help you earn this beautiful pack of DSP. Drop me an email at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com if you are interested in learning how.

I started with the card front. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the stem & leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times on the panel. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the outline strawberry image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set 3 times in Poppy Parade Ink. I stamped the strawberry fill image over the outline image in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the outline strawberry top image in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the strawberry top fill image on top of the outlined image in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the smallest flower image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set 3 times on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Daffodil Delight Ink. I punched all the images out using my Strawberry Builder Punch.

I adhered the strawberry tops to the strawberries using Glue Dots. I adhered the bottom strawberry to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other 2 strawberries using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a strip of Poppy Parade cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry 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 the smallest narrow Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party Host DSP to a Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

For the card base I scored a panel of Thick Basic White cardstock at 1 3/8″ & 2 3/4″. I turned the cardstock around and scored the other end at 1 3/8″ & 2 3/4″ to make small ‘Z’ folds on either side of the card base. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party DSP to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the right edge of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to the left edge of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline strawberry image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink twice on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the strawberry fill image over the outline image in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the stem and leaves image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the stem and leaf image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party 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. 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! Delicate Petals 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. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a 2021-2023 In-Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Petals Bundle for my card. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Getting Sketchy Challenge #256.

I used all 5 of the 2021-2023 In-Colors for my card.

I started by stamping the lacy petal image from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pale Papaya Ink on a Pale Papaya card front. I adhered the card front to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a strip of Basic White cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Basic White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image and the smaller leaf images from the Delicate Petals stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Lacy Petals Dies. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Petals stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves to the back of the die cut flowers using Glue Dots then adhered the flowers to the top and bottom of the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the lacy petal image from the Delicate Petals stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the 4 corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I stamped the lacy petal image from the Delicate Petals stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the corners of the front and back of a Basic White Medium Envelope.

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.

Then again, we know that grass-stained pants and sliding into home aren’t just for the boys—this month’s kit is a triple threat! Designed with men, sport-lovin’ ladies, and baseball fanatics in mind, anyone would bounce from their spot in the bleachers if they received a classic card from the Batter Up! kit.

Step up to the plate, take a swing, and knock it out of the park! With the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, it’s your turn to go to bat for all the people who’ve gone to bat for you. This month’s timeless kit with a “throwback” theme contains enough grand slam supplies to create nine cards—and coordinating envelopes—featuring classic colors, pinwheel and pinstripe patterns, and vintage-washed paper pieces. There’s no “batter” way to root, root, root for your home team and honor the all-stars in your life!

A beloved baseball-themed kit would be incomplete without the sport’s signature, sticky snack—the official bubble gum of the MLB! A favorite in the field, the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit contains a couple sticks of the chewy staple; chew while you craft, slide a piece into a card, or save it for later.

Send a seventh-inning stretch in a classic card with all-star stripes, a nostalgic nod, and a stamp set fit for an MVP! But, before you give it all you’ve got, give this month’s promotional video a watch. See what the Batter Up! kit is all about! Play ball!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Hello CAS

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! Does anyone have any kind of celebration today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I hope you are all starting to make some fun plans.

Don’t forget I have Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards going on until Tuesday May 11th!! For orders $50 or more before tax and shipping I will give you double rewards, but please don’t for get to use my Current Host Code QH7JDXHB. So that means $50 = 2 rewards, $100 = 4 rewards, $150 = 6 rewards etc. Click Here for details about my reward program.

Today’s card is one we will be making at my card class last night. I had fun stamping with a couple beginners. It reminded me of when I first started and had no idea what I was doing. I’ve made another clean and simple card using some DSP. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.

I started by stamping the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink multiple times on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, randomly around the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Hydrangea Hill DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the DSP panel to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the matted artwork to the side of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, around the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape 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. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink, stamping off once, around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Hydrangea Hill 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 about my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards going on until Monday May 10th!! For orders $50 or more before tax and shipping I will give you double rewards. Happy Stamping!!

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend. Today is the last day to get your hands on the retiring items. If there are things that you have been wanting, grab them while you still can. Then, tomorrow the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes LIVE YAY!!! I’ve got my list ready to go, how about you?

Today’s card is another one we will be making at my class tomorrow night. All the cards we will be making tomorrow are Mother’s Day/Female cards. This card is stepped up a little, but if they don’t want to add the extra they don’t have to, it looks just a pretty without. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Tasteful Textile 3d Embossing Folder.

I started by stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the poppy image. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower.

I embossed the card front using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow.

I adhered the card front to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower. 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 Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the single poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small splotch image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Real Red Ink on the flower. I adhered a panel of the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (retiring today) 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!!

Step up to the plate, take a swing, and knock it out of the park! With the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, it’s your turn to go to bat for all the people who’ve gone to bat for you. This month’s timeless kit with a “throwback” theme contains enough grand slam supplies to create nine cards—and coordinating envelopes—featuring classic colors, pinwheel and pinstripe patterns, and vintage-washed paper pieces. There’s no “batter” way to root, root, root for your home team and honor the all-stars in your life!

A beloved baseball-themed kit would be incomplete without the sport’s signature, sticky snack—the official bubble gum of the MLB! A favorite in the field, the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit contains a couple sticks of the chewy staple; chew while you craft, slide a piece into a card, or save it for later.

Send a seventh-inning stretch in a classic card with all-star stripes, a nostalgic nod, and a stamp set fit for an MVP! But, before you give it all you’ve got, give this month’s promotional video a watch. See what the Batter Up! kit is all about! Play ball!

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was a beautiful day here yesterday. I was able to get out of work by 2 and went for a nice ride with the windows down enjoying the fresh pollinated air. I couldn’t breathe last night, but it was worth it.

Before I get started with my card today, I just wanted to remind you that today is the last day to get in on my Designer Series Paper Share. This is a great way to get a sample of all the new DSP’s from the 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. Here are the details.

Today’s card is one that we are going to be making at my next card class. I have 2 brand new stampers coming, so I had to think simple. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Cling Stamp Set for my card. This one is just the basics, Stamp, Ink and Paper.

I started by stamping the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a Basic White card front.

I stamped the vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink down the side of the Basic White panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade Mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once, towards the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink over the script image, stamping off twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink in the center of the panel over the script. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade 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 vine image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Flowers For Every Season 6X6 Designer Series Paper (retiring May 3rd) 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!!
