Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail 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. Yesterday’s post I got a little mixed up on my days. When I have a day on the weekend off, I get a little confused of what day it is lol. I had yesterday off and was able to get a lot done between crafting, cleaning, laundry and paying bills. I’ve learned to love my days when I’m home alone. No one to be calling to me to look at this or help them with that. I can just do my thing and I get so much done.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and the sailboat on the top shelf in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #169.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the water image on a Basic Whtie panel from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Balmy Blue and I move the stamp slightly and stamped again in Misty Moonlight, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight, Real Red and Sahara Sand Inks. I cut the panel for easy punching of the stamped images. I punched the images out using my Sailboat Builder Punch. I cut 2 clouds from the panel using my Waves Dies (available March 1). I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the panel and cut it apart using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the boat images to the stamped panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set below each boat using Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Misty Moonlight sails using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Real Red Sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the cut-up sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the Gentle Waves stamp on the bottom of the panel in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, the sails in Real Red Ink and the shadow in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off once. I stamped the bird image in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. 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 envelope front the same as I did for the inner liner of the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 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! Daffodil Daydream 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 Color Challenge. I played with one of the new Host stamp sets and used my not so favorite color that I really do like with this card. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to a Very Vanilla mat and then to a Mossy Meadow card base.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the single daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I cut the image out using my Tailored Made Tags Dies. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut it out using my Daffodil Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the tag using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I tied a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the top of the tag.

I cut the same size Tailor Made Tag from a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP. I adhered the DSP tag to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the stamped tag over the DSP tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banner Pick a Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Very Vanilla Polished Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I had stamped 2 of the butterfly images from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the Very Vanilla panel. I colored one in using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers and adhered it by the flower image. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Tulip Fields for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders’ blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Birthday”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Tulip Fields Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the double triangle image from the Stampin’ Up!Tulip Fields Photopolymer Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Then I stamped the large triangle image from the Tulip Fields stamp set in Polished Pink, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Inks on the Basic White panel.  I adhered a piece of Post-It Note Tape along the edge of the stamped images and using my Blending Brush I add Balmy Blue Ink to the top of the Basic White panel.  I stamped the small tree image from the Tulip Fields stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the windmill image from the Tulip Fields stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the cloud images from the Tulip Fields stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I cut the images out using my Windmill Fileds Dies. I colored the windmill in using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I adhered a length of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check Ribbon to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Basic Black cardstock, I cut out the bicycle die from the Windmill Fields Dies and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a couple Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the bicycle tires and a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the tulip stems from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the tulip images from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Polished Pink and Poppy Parade Ink on the stems. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the strip of tulips from the Tulip Fields stamp set in Polished Pink Ink across the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope flap. I stamped the tulips from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Poppy Parade, Polished Pink and Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice 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 Sue Prather’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I played with one of the new Host stamp sets and used my not so favorite color that I really do like with this card. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the adorable Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Simply Marbleous DSP to a Smoky Slate mat. I wrapped a piece of the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mouse & cheese image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. The top of the cheese and the cheese holes I colored using my Blender Pen and Bumblebee Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots that I colored using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker.

On the inside I stamped the balloon image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink inside the balloon. I colored the balloon using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky slate mat and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cheese and mouse image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 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! Turtle Friends Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Happy February!!! Yesterday my daughter started back in person collage. She was really looking forward to it since she hated remote learning. The downside is that I have to have her at the train station to catch the 6:30am train. I’m up at that time, but I don’t like to be out in the winter at that time. Once she got to the campus, she had a 30-minute walk to her building and it was only 10 degrees out, brrr.

I have a cute little card for you today using items from the 2021 -2022 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from As You See It Challenge #267.

I started by adhering a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to a Crumb Cake card base.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink down the one side of the panel using my Stamparatus. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front.

I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies and embossed the panel using my Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the left of the sentiment panel. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the larger outline turtle image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the shell image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Turtle Friends stamp set on the shell in Evening Evergreen Ink. I colored the turtle using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the hat from the Turtle Friends stamp set on the turtle in Calypso Coral Ink and colored it using my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on top of the turtle. I stamped the bow tie image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink, fussy cut it using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the turtle using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bragworthy Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the 2 small outline turtle images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the grass and shell images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I colored the turtles in using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large and small turtle outline images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the grass and large & small shell images from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I colored the turtles in using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bird image from the Turtle Friends stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. 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! Garden Birdhouses for Fun Fold Friday

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 depending on the amount of snow we get. Once we sell out of shovels and salt sometimes, they will close the store so that everyone can get home safely. Fortunately, I walk to work, so I don’t have to worry too much about travel.

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! Garden Birdhouses Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the New Horizons 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding the Pale Papaya card base as listed below. I adhered the card base together using Tear & Tape between the 5 1/8″ & 5 1/2″ score lines. I cut the panel of New Horizons DSP keeping them in order, at 1 5/8″, then 1 3/8″, then 1 5/8″ that left a 1 3/8″ panel. I placed the panels together on my Grid Paper and stamped the birdhouse pole from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the right 1 5/8″ panel. I colored the pole in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Marker. I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink along one of the hills on the DSP. Starting with the left panel, I adhered the panels to the Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a scrap of In Good Taste DSP to a scrap of Basic Whtie cardstock and stamped the birdhouse image from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set on the DSP in Early Espresso Ink. I fussy cut the birdhouse using my Paper Snips. I adhered the birdhouse to the right panel of DSP on the card base in the center on the stamped pole image using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side of the birdhouse. I adhered the 2 – 1/4″ strips of Soft Succulent cardstock to the thin edges of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card front along the path.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the center card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower images from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Pale Papaya card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the birdhouse image and pole from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the grass and flower images from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink below the birdhouse. I adhered a panel of the New Horizon 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. 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! Calming Camellia Whitewashed CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope you week has started out productive. We’re back to a full week again, no holidays for a bit.

Today’s card one of my team members Mary Deatherage made on a Facebook live video on Saturday. I forgot how much I like this technique and haven’t done it in a while. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Cling Stamp Set for my card today. You can earn this set free by hosting a qualifying party or placing a qualifying order. I’d be happy to set up a host code for you and your friends. Interested? Ask me how. Contact me at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com.

I played along with Double “D” Challenge ‘Blue & White’

I also played along with Aud Sentiments Challenge #290 ‘Anything Goes + A Sentiment

I started by stamping the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Misty Moonlight card front. I stamped the swirl image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Night of Navy Ink below the floral image where I planned on putting the sentiment.

Using my Blender Pen, I added White Craft Ink just to the flower image making sure not to color the leaves. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off on scrap paper twice, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and the swirl image on 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! Paradise Palms Special Moments CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Hope your week has started out productive.

I was so happy with my card for today and surprisingly I only used Stamps, Ink and Paper. Back to the basics. I just love playing with the Blending Brushes and mixing colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started with a Basic White card front. I used Post-It Note Tape and taped off the sides of the panel to make a border. Starting at the bottom using my Blending Brushes I started adding color. I used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Misty Moonlight Inks, blending them all as I moved up the panel.

Once I had the colors the way I wanted them I started stamping the palm tree images and the grass image from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I removed the tape from the 4 sides and adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat and then to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Basic Black mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the palm tree and grass images from the Paradise Palm stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the grass and palm tree images from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Sunshine & Rainbows Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper 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! Driving By Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I worked yesterday and I’m planning on staying in today. It’s cold here in NJ. I don’t mind it a little cold, but not when it makes my bones cold lol.

I played with one of the Sale-a-bration sets for my card today. It’s a set that I looked at when I first got the brochure and said “what am I going to do with that”. After playing a little with it, I like it, I have many other ideas I just have to get on a card now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Driving By Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #675.

I started by adhering Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point panels of the Brights DSP to a Smoky Slate card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Light Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons in using my Wink of Stella brush and my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point stamp pads.

I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the card image. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nut About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink behind the card.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped just the balloons from the Driving By stamp set up the one side of the envelope and colored them the same as I did on the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and almost halfway through the month. Another month flying by.

I have a quick card for you today. When I saw the colors for this challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Cling Sale-a-bration Host Stamp Set and the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I joined in with Seize the Birthday color Challenge #229.

I started by adhering a panel of the Heart & Home DSP to a Basic Gray card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large floral image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored just the larger flowers in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Balmy Blue cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered a piece of Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the card front using Stampin’ Seal and then the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller floral image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored just the larger flower using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside if the Basic Gray card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller floral image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. 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 and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
