Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
8

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 time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Cuppa Cocoa or Coffee.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the colors and the theme.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #167.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base. The card stock is Evening Evergreen not black like it looks in the photos.

I adhered a smaller panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the chocolate chip cookie outline/chips image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the cookie fill image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper. I cut the images out using my Love You More Than Dies. I adhered one using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the coffee cup images from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and one on a small panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the images in using my Bronze and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the cup on the small panel out using my Love You More Than Dies and adhered it next to the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink above the cups. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to 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 sentiments from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the coffee cut images from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them using my Bronze and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the cookie outline image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and the fill image, stamping off twice, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 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! Flowering Rain Boots

Posted on by

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to do something fun. It was just too cold here for me. Maybe because I’m still not 100% since I was sick, but the cold just went right through me.

I got a new set in the mail on Thursday, thank you Amy. I just couldn’t wait to put some ink on it and play with it. This is one of those must have sets that I see myself using a LOT. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Bundle for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #518.

I started by stamping the flower stems and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White card front. I stamped the tulips heads from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems.

I embossed the card front using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rainboot image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I cut the image our using my Rain Boots Dies and adhered them below the stamped flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rainboots image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the tulip image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink on the stems on the envelope front and 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! Happy Hedgehogs Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Posted on by
4

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 Saturday and have Sunday off.

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! Happy Hedgehogs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. This DSP is a FREE Sale-a-bration item with a qualifying $50.

I started by adhering 2 panels of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to Bermuda Bay Mats. I adhered the layered panels to the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment, mushroom, bird & hedgehog images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, So Saffron & Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the front of the small Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies to the artwork.

On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment, butterfly and hedgehog images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Balck Ink. I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pool Party and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the small Pool Party card base. I wrapped a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon around the large card base and tied a bow. I adhered the small card base to the small right panel of the large card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the 2 hedgehog images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set on the envelope front and colored them using my Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Sunshine & Rainbows 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 the post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. Can you believe there are only 2 days left of 2021? I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to 2022, with being sick this past month, I’m ready to start a new year. I hope you have something fun planned for tomorrow night to ring in the new year.

If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge and it’s my favorite kind!!! 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 Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Cling Stamp Set along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper for my Tower card today.

This is this week’s Theme.

I started by scoring and cutting my card base as pictured in the template below.

A while back I did a video making this card. Click Here to see the video.

I adhered panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from the In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. On a scrap of Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper, I stamped the pillow part of the stamp and fussy cut the pillows using my Paper Snips. I adhered the fussy cut pieces to the stamped image. I adhered the artwork to a panel of So Saffron cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

I adhered panels of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from In The Moment stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Bloom Where You’re Planted 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! Eden’s Garden Paneled Hello

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to a New Year!!! How does everyone celebrate bringing in the New Year? It’ll be a quiet one at my house again I believe.

Today’s card features the gorgeous Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper that will be going away on Monday January 3,2022, that’s in just 5 more days. You might want to grab a pack or 2 (or 3) if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the Ever Eden DSP for my card today.

I started by cutting and adhering 3 equal strips of the Ever Eden DSP and adhering them to an Evening Evergreen card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, so I had a little wiggle room. I adhered the panel to a gold mat from the Brushed Metallic Paper.

I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the floral image. I cut the image our using my Layering Circle Dies and adhered it over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Garden Gems, which will also be going away January 3, 2022, to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on top of the floral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Ever Eden 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! Ranunculus Romance for the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to our January-June 2022 Mini Catalog Blog Hop. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. We thought this would be a great way for you to see some of the beautiful products that will be available coming up Mini Catalog starting on January 4, 2022. We each got to pick a stamp set, bundle or suite that we wanted to feature. I hope you enjoy seeing everyone’s beautiful projects. Here’s mine using a new bundle from the Mini Catalog along with some of the gorgeous new Designer Series Paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Bundle along with the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the rose image and the small floral image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set. I colored the stamps using my Fresh Freesia, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the images out using my Ranunculus Dies. I also cut a flower using one of the Ranunculus Dies from a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock. I adhered the die cut images on a Heart & Home Doilie using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals

I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home DSP to a Basic Gray card base. On a strip of Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum I stamped the postage image in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the shimmer vellum using Stampin’ Seal just where the doily was going to be adhered.

I adhered the artwork to the shimmer vellum using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the bottom of the flowers. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the bottom of the panel coloring it in the same with my Stampin’ Write Markers, as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the envelope front coloring it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home 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! Special Moment CAS Sneak Peek

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Was everyone able to visit with family and friends for Christmas. I worked yesterday and it was like watching paint dry. It always amazes me with retail how it’s busy, busy, busy then it just dies.

I have a clean and simple card today using all Sale-a-bration items. Do you know that Sale-a-bration starts in just 8 days? I’m so excited!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on more of the free items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both of these items are free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch and punched the slits on either side of the punched sentiment.

I threaded a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Ribbon through the punch and wrapped it around a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP adhering it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to a Flirty Flaming card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Garden Gems (only available for 1 more week) to the sentiment and the flower centers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Daydream DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the throat of the flower using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap. I realized after I adhered it, that I used the wrong DSP oops.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card. Items will be available with a qualifying order starting on January 4, 2022. Get those shopping lists ready! Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends Merry Christmas Eve and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Will you be spending time with friends or family tomorrow? We’ll be spending the day relaxing just my husband, daughter and me. My son and his girlfriend will be going to her family’s house. My niece and her family will be going to her husband’s family like they always do. So, our plan is to relax, watch Christmas movies, maybe stamp a little and just enjoy the day.

Today I have my simple go to fun fold card, another Z fold using some new product coming in the January-February Sale-a-bration catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Misty Moonlight card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card base in half first and then folded the front back along the 2 3/4″ score line.

I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Layering Diorama Dies. I cut the next size larger Layering Diorama Die from a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel. I added a few of the new Pebbles Enamel Shapes on the bottom of the artwork.

On the inside I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Awesome Otter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside left of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otter stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The items I used for my card today will be available starting January 4, 2022. Both the DSP and the stamp set are free with qualifying orders. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Sneak Peek

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans. Have you gotten your tree up yet? Shopping done? I’m doing all my Christmas cookie baking this weekend. I started Thursday and should be finished up by today. Tomorrow will be finishing touches and putting all my trays together that I hand out.

For today’s card we did a Mystery Stamping at our team meeting this past Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun. Jaimie gave us measurements and told us what to do putting the card together. I got my right and left a little mixed up, but I’m still happy with the results. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Bundle along with the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Pale Papaya card front using the new Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Heart & Home DSP to the card front. I cut a strip of the Heart & Home DSP into a banner and adhered it to the left side of the card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the foxglove floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the image our using the Honeybee Blooms Dies. Using the same dies, I also cut out the floral and leaf images from panels of Cinnamon Cider and Garden Green cardstock.

I arranged the die cut pieces the way I wanted them and adhered them to the card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut it our using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pale Papaya Genial Gems to the sentiment and added a Bumblebee Trinket to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the foxglove image from the Honeybee Home stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Heart & Home DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The items I used will all be available starting January4, 2022. I just love this DSP with this bundle. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Sneak Peek for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Do you have plans for the weekend yet? I spent all day yesterday mixing cookie batters and baking off my bar cookies. Today and tomorrow, I’ll be baking all day. I got a lot more done than I expected to.

Today I have my simple go to fun fold card, a Z fold. For me this is one of the easiest fun folds that you can make. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set along with the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering panels of the Expressions In Ink DSP to Just Jade mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the rose image and cut the image out using my Scalloped Contours Dies.

I adhered the artwork to the front folded panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, only on the left side of the artwork. I tied a small knot using the Just Jade & Gold 3/8″ Braided Ribbon and adhered it to the flower stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Garden Gems to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small, metered image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, stamped off twice on scrap paper, by the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Expressions in Ink DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will consider purchasing this gorgeous set when it becomes available January 4, 2022. Happy Stamping!!
