Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend is starting out fun. We’re suppose to have a wet one here. I’ll be at work all day today, but I actually have off tomorrow, YAY!! I was not expecting that, but I’ll take it.

I have a clean and simple card for you today. I thought I’d do one last summer card before I go full swing into fall and holiday cards. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Life Cling Stamp Set along with You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Global Design Project Challenge #305.

I played along with TGIF Challenge #330.

I started by adding Balmy Blue Ink using my Blending Brush, to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I cut a panel of You’re A Peach DSP using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the front of the Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Life stamp set on the top of the card front in Tuxedo Black Ink.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bear image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Colors Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words SAB Host Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a strip of You’re A Peach DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz 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 bear image from the Joyful Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as the card. I adhered a panel of You’re A Peach 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! In Your Words for The Happy Inkin’ Thursdy Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Cling Stamp Set along with the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words SAB Host stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set is using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out with the Ornate Frames Dies. I cut the detailed frame from a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered the sentiment to the center using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a length of 3/8″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the framed sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered a strip of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set multiple times on the envelope front in Rich Razzleberry Ink without reinking. I adhered a panel of the 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! Daisy Garden Thinking of You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Happy Friendship Day and Happy August. I can’t believe it’s August already. I’m not ready to be winding down the summer yet, I need at least 3 more months. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had to go back to work twice yesterday since the mail was so late. The good thing was, I was all by myself in the office so I brought my dog with me to hang out. She wasn’t sure about the situation and was just sniffing and pacing all around the office. She did get some visitors and a lot of pets though.

Today’s card is similar to yesterday’s card, another CAS one. You have to let me know in the comments which card you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today. This is such an awesome pack of DSP and you can get it until Tuesday on sale for 15% off, I may just have to order another pack. It’s one of my favorites.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image on a panel of In Good Taste DSP in Bumblebee Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. Did you know that you can make any color embossing powder just by using our inks and the Clear Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set on the top of the card front panel in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 3/8″ Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the Daisy Garden image on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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!!

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the top of the panel. On the bottom of the panel I first stamped the stem for the flower in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the stem. I stamped the large flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on top of the stem

I adhered the artwork to a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock using Stampin’ Seal on an angle. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bumblebee Matte Decorative Dot (available Aug 3rd), to the flower center.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set on the stem in Calypso Coral Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower/stem/leaves images from the In Symmetry stamp set on the envelope front in Calypso Coral and Just Jade Inks. I adhered a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty CAS Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans this weekend. Maybe even some plans just to relax and enjoy the summer. I’ll be at work all day, but I get out by 5pm so there’s still time to do something. Yesterday I got another one of my gardens finished. My niece and her 2 boys came over and helped me out. 6 bags of top soil, 19 bags of ocean pebbles and 6 hours later, it looks so much nicer. We dug out a 30 year old pine tree, with a lot of digging and cutting, then planted a couple hydrangeas. Her boys love digging out trees/bushes.

I have a clean and simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bamboo Beauty Cling Stamp Set along with the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a Regals DSP card front to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I taped off all 4 sides of the Basic White card front using Post-It tape. Using my Blending Brush I brushed Sahara Sand Ink on the exposed panel starting from the bottom and working my way up. I kept adding ink until I got the Ombre effect that I wanted.

I removed the Post-It tape and stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the side of the inked area. I stamped the leaf images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bamboo, once full strength and once stamped off.

I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink next to the bamboo image. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once, on either side of the panel. I stamped the leaf image in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once and twice on the bamboo images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bamboo images from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Regals 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! Celebrate Sunflowers for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all weekend between both jobs. Today I’m finally going to get to work in my garden. My yard has been sprayed for those annoying bugs, so hopefully I won’t get eaten alive again. I’m very excited about redoing my garden in case you can’t tell.

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! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set along with In Good Taste and Hand-Penned Designer Series Papers for my card today.

My inspiration for today’s card came from my sunflower plants I have growing in my backyard.

I started by stamping the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White Cardstock. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Sunflower Dies. From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut the middle Scalloped Contour Die. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom corner of the die. I stamped the larger leaf image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink 3 times. I colored the leaves in using my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut them out using my Sunflower Dies.

I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the front panel of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sunflower to the scalloped die using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left side of the panel. I adhered the leaves under the sunflower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I scored and folded a smaller Highland Heather card base and adhered a panel of Hand-Penned DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3/4″ fold of the small card base behind the layered panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Highland Heather will tuck behind the scalloped die to hold the card closed. I added a couple Bumblebee Trinkets to my card using Glue Dots.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Hand-Penned DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. I have a sneak peek for you today from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Bundle along with the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper and the Cork Specialty Paper for my card today. These items will all be available August 3rd from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.

This is our sketch we had to work with this week.

I started by adhering a panel of the Harvest Meadow DSP to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of the Cork Specialty Paper using the 3rd from largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the cone flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I didn’t want the flowers so purple so I colored over the flower again using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker to get more of a periwinkle color. I colored the flower center in using my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the image out using my Harvest Dies. I adhered the flower to the Cork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies. I adhered a length of the 3/8″ Diamond Weave Ribbon (available August 3rd) to the bottom of the cork using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (available August 3rd) to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Hello Friend

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the long 4th of July weekend yet? I will be at Ace all day Saturday working and both places are closed for the 4th on Sunday so I have off, YAY!!!

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! Create With Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals Bundle and the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring the card base at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. I then scored from the bottom of the 4 1/4″ score line to the top right corner and folded the panel in. I adhered the left binder side together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a strip of the Hand-Penned DSP to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I moved the die down 3 scallops and cut again to make a square. I adhered a panel of Hand-Penned DSP to the scallop square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel just to the bottom triangle of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Create With Friends stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I edged the sentiment using my Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker. On a thin scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Create With Friends stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink and adhered it to the top of the larger sentiment using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the detailed floral die from from a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock using the Penned Flowers Dies. I adhered the die cut to the inside panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, placing it on the corner to hold the easel open.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Hand-Penned DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Happy July!! Another month gone and a new one starting. 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. 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! Beauty Of Friendship Bundle along with the Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper. I got the inspiration for my card looking out my back window at my Purple Plum tree with the Gold Finches sitting in it.

I started by adhering a panel of Beauty Of The Earth DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut another panel of the Beauty Of The Earth DSP using my Paper Snips around the trees and adhered it to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

From a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock I cut the largest tree die from my Beautiful Trees Dies. I cut the solid tree top die from a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock and the detailed leaf tree top from a panel of Beauty Of The Earth DSP using the Beautiful Trees Dies. I adhered the Cinnamon Cider tree to the front of the Merry Merlot tree top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed leaf tree top to the front of the tree using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 birds from a panel of Bumblebee cardstock using the Beautiful Trees Dies and adhered them to the tree using Glue Dots. On a panel of Vellum cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the detail leaf image in Merry Merlot Ink on the top of the tree. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front.
