Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Birthday CAS

Posted on by
20

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend has started off wonderful. I’m at my virtual OnStage event this weekend. Even though I’m home, I’m still having a lot of fun and learning a lot. I’ll share the projects we made next week with you.

I have a masculine Clean and Simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #618. Here are their colors.

I played along with the Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #400. Here is their board. I went across the top.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #257. Their theme is ‘Birthday for an Adult Male’.

I also joined in with Just Add Ink Challenge #530. Their challenge is Stamps-Ink-Paper.

I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the leaves image from Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink hanging from the tree. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamped off once, on the bottom of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the Very Vanilla panel.

I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Suede card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, across the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped a partial tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on both sides of the envelope flap in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the leaves in Terracotta Tile Ink on the branches.

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! Hooray To You CAS

Posted on by
10

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you are enjoying your extra hour of sleep.

For today I have a Clean and Simple, Quick and Easy card for you. I used the basics for this one, Stamps, Ink & Paper plus I added a little embellishment. Here’s my card for today.

My colors for today’s card were inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #351. Here are their colors.

My design is from CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #396. Here is their sketch.

I started by stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Hooray To You Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I colored the flower in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the small sentiment from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the artwork to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Colors Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Hooray To You stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the flower images from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink around the sentiment. I colored the flowers in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flower images from the Hooray To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom front of the envelope and on the envelope flap. I colored the flowers in using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker.

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

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I’ll be working both days again. Ever since my daughter said that she wanted to go apple picking I have been working extra.

Today’s card I made Wednesday on my Facebook Live Video. If you were able to join me live or you watched the replay, thank you very much.  If you’d like to view my video either on Facebook or YouTube, the links are below. Here’s my card for today.

The Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle will be available for purchase in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Bundle will be available November 3rd.

I started by scoring and folded a Misty Moonlight card base at 1 1/2″ & 4 1/4″. I folded the card base in half and then folded the 1 1/2″ fold back. I adhered the larger of the 3 Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper panels to the front fold of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the other 2 panels of the Dandy Garden DSP to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink above and below the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored some of the image in using my Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Stitched Nested Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, hanging off the left side. On another panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamped the wing fill color in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the dragonfly to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using my Curvy Dies then stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side and a Glue Dot on the artwork. I added a couple of the adorable Ladybug Trinkets to the sentiment and the card base using Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink along the bottom front of the envelope.

I adhered another design from the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card.  The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. Items used won’t be available until January 5th, but you can use any DSP and stamp set to recreate this card.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

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

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Sneak Peek

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready for a new week? I’ve got another busy working week ahead.

I have a sneak peek for you today. Are you ready? I’ve told you about our OnStage events that we go to twice a year. Well this years is going to be a little different because of Covid. We’ll be attending it virtually. Since I was registered for OnStage I got to order a bundle that won’t be available until the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It’s called the Dandy Garden Project Collection. I ordered mine last week and got to play with it this weekend. Here’s my 1st card I made with it.

I’ll try to give you a few more sneak peeks this week.

I started by adhering a panel of the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (available January 5, 2021) to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Bumblebee cardstock I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Stampin’ Up Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set in Bumblebee Ink multiple times.

I adhered the Bumblebee panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a Mossy Meadow panel to the center of the Bumblebee panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a small panel of Whisper White cardstock using my Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Dandy Garden DSP mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered it to the top of the Mossy Meadow panel on an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock I stamped one of the dragonfly images from the
Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink and cut the image out using my Dragonflies Punch. I brushed the wings of the dragonfly using Clear Wink of Stella and adhered it to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Smoky Slate 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 Ladybug Trinket to the banner using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink above and below the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink across the bottom front of the envelope.

I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. All items used for today’s card will be available starting January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I’ll try to have a few more sneak peeks for you in the next couple weeks. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Birthday Sneak Peek

Posted on by
11

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have plans this weekend? I’ll be at work both days, today at the dog bakery and tomorrow at the Ace. It’s suppose to be a beautiful fall weekend here.

I have a sneak peek for you today from the up coming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. This bundle will be available to you starting November 3rd. This is one you might want to get your hands on. I went for a drive yesterday to my team leaders and the leaves were all changing and it was such a gorgeous drive. The only thing that would have made it better is if it wasn’t pouring rain. That inspired me to make today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

My sketch for today is from Freshly Made Sketches #457. Here is their sketch.

I played along with The Spot Challenge #132. Here is their theme.

I also played along with CAS on Friday Challenge #191. Their Theme is ‘PLAID’.

I started by adhering a panel of Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Pretty Peacock card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the curvy leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the leaves in using my Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork on top of the plaid panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Curvy Dies by lining up the top of the sentiment with the curve of the die and cutting. I then flipped the die and cut below the sentiment lining up the dies curve with the top curve the best that I could. I trimmed the sentiment down and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the curvy leaf image from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink towards the top of a Whisper White panel and colored the leaves in using my Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Quite Curvy stamp set below the leaves, matching the curve, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the front of the envelope.

I adhered a panel of Plaid Tidings DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be available for you to purchase November 3rd along with the Curvy Christmas and the Classic Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be carrying over to the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, but the Curvy Christmas and DSP will only be available until January 4th. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the gorgeous Autumn weather. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
22

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.  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 beautiful projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

I decided to make a masculine card with this sketch. Here’s my card using this sketch.

I played along with The Card Concept Challenge #141 (Around The World). Here is their theme.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #255. Their challenge is CAS (Clean and Simple)

I started by adhering a panel of World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I added 4 of the Antique Corners from the Antique Corners and Slides Elements using Glue Dots.

I cut a panel of the World of Good Specialty DSP using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of World of Good Specialty DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful World stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the quill image from the Beautiful World stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink above the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the World of Good Specialty DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Brass Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of the World of Good Specialty DSP to the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of the World of Good Specialty 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! Celebrate Sunflower Easel Birthday for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
10

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  Are you ready for the weekend? It’s starting to feel like fall here.  It’s been really cool at night and in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, perfect walking or yard work weather.

I’ve made another easel card for you today.  Now I know why my team member Mary loves these so much.  They are so much fun to design.  Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by Paper Players Challenge #508.  Here are their colors.

I started by scoring and folding a Blackberry Bliss easel at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ and adhering the 2 3/4″ section to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the stem image from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored the leaves and the stem in using my Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Four Seasons Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the top of the Whisper White panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the small sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I brushed some Clear Wink of Stella on the center of the sunflower go give it a little shimmer.  I fussy cut the sunflower out using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a couple of the leafy stems out from the Sunflower Dies in Pretty Peacock cardstock and adhered them to the stem using Glue Dots.  I tied a small bow using the 3/8″ Embroidered Ribbon and adhered it to the stems using a Glue Dot.

I adhered the artwork to the easel, just adding Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the bottom section of the easel.  I colored a few Pearl Basic Jewels with my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhered them to the card front and the card base.

For the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set towards the top of a Whisper White panel in Pretty Peacock Ink.  I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off twice, over the sentiment.  I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the flower center.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut a scalloped oval out of a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Layering Ovals Dies.  I adhered the sentiment to the Pretty Peacock scallop oval using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted sentiment to the Whisper White panel, where I wanted the easel to set, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the small sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Cajun Craze and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of Pretty Peacock 2019-2021 In-Color 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! Special Someone for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  How is everyone doing today?  If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is our theme for this week.

My niece needed a card for a friends son who’s turning 4 and she wanted something with animals.  Worked out perfectly for me.  Here’s my take on the theme.

I started by embossing a panel of Pacific Point cardstock using the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder.  Since this is a mini embossing folder, I embossed half the panel then moved the embossing folder over to the other side, being sure to match up the dots, and embossed again.    I adhered the card front to a Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the grass die from the Special Day Dies and adhered it to the bottom of a Balmy Blue panel using Stampin’ Seal.  I cut 3 rectangles out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the racoon outline image from the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink.  I stamped the racoon fill image over the outlined image in Sahara Sand Ink.  I stamped the squirrel and mouse outline images from the Special Someone stamp set in Basic Gray Ink.  I stamped the squirrel fill image over the outlined image in Smoky Slate Ink and the mouse fill image over the outlined image in Smoky Slate Ink stamping off once.  I stamped the balloon outline and string images from the Special Someone stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the balloon fill images over the outlined images in the same colors stamping off once.  I cut all the images out using my Special Day Dies.

I adhered the racoon image to the largest rectangle and the squirrel and mouse images to the smaller rectangles using Glue Dots, tucking them in the grass a little.  I adhered the rectangles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the strings and balloons to the squirrel and mouse using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  On 1/4″ strips of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Special Someone stamp set in Pacific Point Ink and adhered them to the artwork using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the outline balloon and string images from the Special Someone stamp set around the sentiment in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Real Red Inks.  I stamped the balloon fill image over the outlined images in the same colors stamping off once.  I had stamped and cut out 2 of the racoon images on the Whisper White panel so I decided to adhere one of them to the inside using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the racoon outline image from the Special Someone stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the racoon fill image over the outlined image in  Sahara Sand Ink.  I stamped the balloon outline and string images from the Special Someone stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Real Red Inks on the envelope flap.  I stamped the  balloon fill image over the outlined images in the same colors stamping off once.

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! Celebration Tidings Haunted Birthday

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  It was a gorgeous 55 degrees when I awoke this morning, but it was still dark out 😦  I have the windows open, the attic fan on and it is absolutely beautiful sunny day outside.   Yesterday I went to the farm to pick sunflowers, they neglected to tell us that there were no more to pick when we asked.  Instead I picked some Cockscomb, Zinnias and tomatoes.  I also came home with  a big bag full of basil that I spent a couple hours making pesto and freezing the containers.  I think I’m set for just a little while now.  Whatever basil grows now in my pots I will make pesto and use it, seems my family really likes it.

For today’s card it might look like a Halloween card, but it’s actually a birthday card.  My nieces husband loves Halloween and she wanted me to make him a birthday card.  They go all out with decorating for Halloween like I do for Christmas.  Here’s today’s card.

I had a lot of scraps of my Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper so I decided to put it on a card.  I cut 1/2″ strips of the DSP, Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I adhered the strips to a Basic Black panel using Stamp[in’ Seal.  Once all the strips were adhered, I cut the panel down to a 3 3/4″ X 5″ panel.

I stamped the large pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I stamped the face in the center of the pumpkin and punched it out using my Apple Builder Punch.  I cut the stem out of a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the spider web image from the Stampn’ Up! Celebration Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I cut the image out using the Celebration Labels Dies.  On the same panel, I stamped multiple of the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut them out using the Celebration Labels Dies.  I drew lines coming down from the spider web using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker then adhered the label to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the pumpkin to the label using Stampin’ Dimensionals and all the spiders using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I embossed a panel of the Copper Brushed Metallic cardstock using the  Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle.  I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front and brushed the spiders with some Clear Wink of Stella.

On the inside, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped  the spider web from the Celebration Tidings stamp set on the top of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in the center of the panel and the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set below the 1st sentiment.  I stamped the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set around the sentiment and drew lines using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker from the web to the spiders.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  In Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped the spider web and spiders from the Celebration Tidings stamp set on the envelope front and drew lines from the web to the spiders using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered the leftover scraps of Plaid Tidings 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! Happy Day Sunflower for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
12

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  Have you made plans for the weekend yet?

I have a Double Z-Fold card for you today using one of my favorite sets from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  Here’s my card for today.

My inspiration is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #346.  Here is their inspiration board.

I started by  a panel of Flowers For Every Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the front panel of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered another panel of Flowers for Every Season DSP on the front section of the small Z-Fold card using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of Flowers for Every Season DSP on the back panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the small Z-Fold card base to the large Z-Fold card base using Tear & Tape.  The longer section of the small Z-Fold is adhered to the front panel of the large card base and the small section is adhered to the back section.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on the Whisper White panel.  I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink.  I stamped 3 of the larger leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the Whisper White panel.  I colored the sunflower in using my Water Painter, filled with alcohol, and Bumblebee Ink on a clear block.  I colored the sunflower center in using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Markers and I colored the leaves in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the flower and leaves out using the coordinating dies from the Sunflower Dies.  I adhered the sunflower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, hanging off the left side a little.  I trimmed the sunflower using my Paper Snips.  I cut the leaf vein from the Sunflower Dies out of a panel of Just Jade cardstock and adhered them to the solid leaves using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the leaves under the sunflower using Glue Dots.  I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a Just Jade panel of cardstock to the back section of the small Z-Fold card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set on the Whisper White panel in Just Jade Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the Just Jade panel using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the small sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the image in using my Water Painter with the Bumblebee Ink and my Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of Flowers for Every Season 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!!
