Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set, Merriest Frames Dies and Organic Beauty Dies for my card today.

Our colors this week are Basic Black, Basic White and any other color we want. I chose to use Cherry Cobbler.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I cut the panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using the Organic Beauty Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the 2 poinsettia images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink 3 times each. I cut the images out using the Merriest Frames Dies. I adhered the small poinsettia to the larger one using a Glue Dot. I adhered the layered poinsettias to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the bottom 2 and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the top one. I added 3 of the smallest Pearl Basic Jewels to each flower center.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 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’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a beautiful fall Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Bundle and the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I embossed the panel with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sitting gnome image from the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Gnome Dies. I adhered the gnome on top of the pumpkin using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Hello Harvest stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Gnome 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin image from Hello Harvest stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat 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’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle along with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the small wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a Soft Suede card base. I adhered a panel of the Gingham Cottage DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the top of the wheat image. I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the top of Basic Whtie panel. I cut the image out using the Wheat Dies. From a panel of Crushed Curry cardstock, I cut the small wheat dies and the border die from the Wheat Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Basic Whtie panel.

Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature 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’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Rings of Love Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is this week’s sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Rings of Love DSP to an Evening Evergreen card bases. I embossed a panel of Vellum paper using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front. On a strip of Parakeet Party cardstock, I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set in Parakeet Party Ink. I adhered the strip to the card front on the Vellum panel.

Using the tree Rings Dies and Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I took the largest tree ring die and brushed Soft Suede Ink around the edge using my Spong Dauber. I adhered the die to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 of the thinner leaf dies from the Tree Rings Dies from a panel of Parakeet Party cardstock, I cut one of the larger leaf dies from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the leaf dies just under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored the berries on one of the sprig Textural Elements using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sprig on top of the leaves just under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the tree rings. I stamped the heart image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on top of the sentiment. I stamped the leaf image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Suede mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree ring image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in soft Suede Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. I stamped the heart image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on top of the tree ring image. I stamped the leaf image in Parakeet Party next to the tree ring. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the envelope flap.
