Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Inspiration

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on the downhill to the weekend.

Today’s card was a sketch/color challenge from my Upline Jaimie Babarczy. She’s given us a sketch and colors to work with each week for the past month. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle for my card along with the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. Here is our sketch and colors for the week.

I started by embossing the bottom of a Mossy Meadow card front using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride Bakers Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice. One of the dragonflies I stamped the wing fill image in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the wings. The other dragonfly image I decided to color the wings using the Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink that I put on a Clear Block. Can you tell which is which??? I punched the dragonflies out using the Dragonflies Punch and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on 2 corners of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the dragonflies in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink on a Clear Block. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden 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!!

My sketch is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #250

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set on the bottom of a Sahara Sand card front in Night of Navy Ink. I embossed the card front using my Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Sahara Sand card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon to a thin strip of Night of Navy cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the matted DSP panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once, above and below the sentiment . I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Paper Blooms DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance For Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? We’re upon a weekend already. This week just flew by for me. I guess with the snow Monday and Tuesday and working yesterday and today, it’s just gone.

Sorry I missed doing a Facebook live on Wednesday. I had a tooth ache so I went to the dentist (where you would normally go for that). 3 hours later I was still there, UGH!! Unfortunately I have to go for a root canal this morning and then to work from there. Fun times. So I changed my fun fold for today for a simple one using some NEW product that I received yesterday YAY!!! The gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Fab Friday Color Challenge #206.

I started by adhering a panel of the new Butterfly Bijou 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I scored and folded a Blushing Bride card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″. I folded the card in half and then folded the front panel back and adhered it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. This stamp set is one large background stamp that when you use the dies cuts it into 6 butterflies. I cut the butterflies out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I colored the largest butterfly in using my Water Painters filled with alcohol and Bumblebee Ink on a clear block.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the branch and floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Water Painter filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride Ink on a clear block and my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, only on half of the panel. I adhered the butterfly to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside back of the Blushing Bride card base. I colored the other butterflies using the Water Painters filled with alcohol and Blushing Bride and Bumblebee Inks on clear blocks and my Ivory Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! A Good Man Masculine

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? Ours has started with a HUGE snow storm. I’ve learned not to believe weather forecasts until they happen, I guess they were right this time. I went into work yesterday, even though the store was closed, to get my bills done and caught up on my work. The walk in was bad, but the walk home was horrible. I couldn’t see the snow was coming down so hard and nothing was plowed or shoveled. That was the best workout I’ve ever gotten just walking to and from work. The snow was at my knees at 1pm yesterday when I walked home and it’s still coming down this morning. This makes up for not having any snow last year. I’ll be heading back into work this morning to finish everything up since I had to leave early yesterday.

I have a masculine card for you today. I always seem to struggle with masculine cards, but every once in a while something will pop in my head and I run with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Ivory and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Tasteful Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the smallest circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a scrap of Crushed Curry cardstock and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the bird out using my Dockside Dies and adhered it to the circle using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Neutrals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy 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 image from A Good Man stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 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! Oval Occasions Birthday

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a busier day than I expected at work. Now today I’m off to the dog boutique bakery. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of visits from our puppy friends.

For today’s card I CASED a card right from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog from page 65 using the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle. I don’t usually do that, but I thought the card was just so adorable. Here’s my card for today.

Once again I used my Uplines color combo for my card for the challenge she is doing this week.

I started by punching a bunch of scalloped ovals using the new Double Oval Punch from a panel of Night of Navy cardstock. I embossed a panel of Seaside Spray cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut the panel into 1 1/2″ strips. I punched 4 embossed ovals out using the Double Oval Punch.

I arranged the scalloped ovals on a panel of Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, some are hanging off the paper. I adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so I had a little wiggle room to move them around. Once they were all adhered, I trimmed the panel down to a 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel. I adhered the embossed Seaside Spray ovals on top of a few of the Night of Navy scalloped ovals using Stampin’ Dimensionals and trimmed them using my Paper Snips. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the image out using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered a piece of the Seaside Spray 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon to the scallop oval using Stampin’ Seal and adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Crushed Curry Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color 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! Enjoy The Moment Masculine Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

I’ve made a masculine card for you today. As most of you know, I have a little trouble with masculine cards. We’ve got a couple new sets in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog that help me out. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Cling Stamp Set for today’s card along with In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Seal. On another panel of In Good Taste DSP, I stamped one of the images from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the small seed image from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once, around the stamped image. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock I stamped the whirlybird image from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink randomly around. I embossed the strip using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder then cut it using my Banner Triple Punch. I wrapped a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the top of the banner and tied a knot. I adhered the banner to the card front overlapping the artwork, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut the one side straight using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the pod image from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pod and seed images from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Hey Girlfriend 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 beautiful 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 “Love”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I decided to do a birthday card using the Stampin’ Up! Hey Girlfriend Cling Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card.

I’m a Guest Designer for the month of January for the CAS Colours & Sketches. Here is their sketch #402 for this week.

I played along with the Always Fun Challenge #196. Their challenge is to use “Something New”. I used a new stamp set and new DSP

I started by adhering a panel of the Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Rich Razzleberry cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Posted For You Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry Ink randomly on the strip of cardstock. I adhered the Rich Razzleberry panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped one of the girl images from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bronze/Ivory, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image out using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Lovey You stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Lovely You stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink in the corners of the panel, some full strength and some stamped off once. I stamped the leafy image from the Lovey You stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the girl image from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored her in using my Bronze/Ivory, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the flower image from the Lovey You stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the envelope front and the leafy image from the Lovey You stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink around the girl. I adhered a panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Hydrangea for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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 awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here’s my card using this sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Bundle for my card along with the gorgeous new Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting a panel of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the DSP to a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to a panel of Rococo Rose cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a Seaside Spray card front using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Many Messages stamp set, I stamped the sentiments in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiments out using the Messages Dies. I adhered a piece of Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack to the artwork using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the bakers twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Hydrangea Hill DSP to either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Hydrangea Hill DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey for Fun Fold Friday

Happy New Year my fellow stampers and welcome to 2021 and my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s New Year’s Eve? Were you able to stay awake to ring the new year in? Here’s to hoping that 2021 will be a wonderful healthy year for all of us.

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 very much. 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 that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. The Darling Donkey stamp set will be a FREE set you can earn from Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying order. Sale-A-Bration starts on January 5, 2021.

I started by adhering panels of Well Suited DSP to Pacific Point mats using Stampin’ Seal, then adhering them to the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the kicking donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the donkey using my Paper Snips.

I embossed a small panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. Using my new Blending Brushes, I added some Gray Granite Ink to the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pacific Point mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the donkey to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Darling Donkey stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zebras Cling Stamp Set. I added a little Gray Granite Ink around the edges using my Blending Brush and adhered it to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the top right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the donkey to the bottom left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sitting donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Wisper White panel to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the kicking donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored him in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Well Suited DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items will be available in just 4 short days on January 5, 2021. 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!!
