Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Birthday for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

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. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Bundle along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Getting Sketchy #262.

I started by adhering a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 panels of You’re A Peach DSP using the Ornate Layers Dies. I cut the 2 panels in half and adhered them to a Calypso Coral mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was how I was able to make the strips long enough for my card front. I adhered the 2 layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the trio of peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set on the stem image in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with my Dauber in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the image out using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the trio peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the peach trio out using my Peach Dies. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from the Peach Dies out of a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I adhered the leaves to the back of 2 of the die cut peaches using a Glue Dot then adhered them to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Mango Melody Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the stem/leaf image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the peach trio image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on the stems. I stamped the sentiments from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a couple Mango Melody Artistry Blooms Adhesive- Backed Sequins to the Basic White panel.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, sponged with Calypso Coral Ink, on the envelope front. I stamped the stem/leaves in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the peach. I adhered a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Posted on by
12

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! Love of Leaves for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

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 Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper for my card this week.

I went with leave for my Outdoors theme.

I started by coloring a panel of the Pattern Party DSP using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I just used all different colors and it’s too many to list so you’ll have to use your imagination and pick your favorite colors to use 😉 I adhered the DSP card front to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I stamped the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel and cut it our using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered some Linen Thread to the card front with a small amount of Stampin’ Seal then adhered the sentiment over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 4 of the leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies in Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red cardstock. I arranged the leaves on the bottom of the sentiment and adhered them using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I made a bow using the Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaf stems using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2019-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal then embossed the top using my Stitched Leaves Dies. I added a couple more leaves that I cut using my Stitched Leaves Dies from Cherry Cobbler and Misty Moonlight cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of my Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Seal.

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

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Sailing Home for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by
22

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 Mary Deatherage’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set. Nothing says summer to me like the beach.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #261.

I started by embossing a Smoky Slate card front using the new Timber 3D Embossing Folder (available August 3rd). I adhered the embossed panel to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I masked the lighthouse with a sticky note and added color to the backgrounds using my Blending Brushes. I added Coastal Cabana Ink on the top of the panel and Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the image. I stamped the bird image from the Sailing Home stamp set on the top of the panel in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set next to the lighthouse image in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink and the seashells in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Seaside Shells Dies. I adhered the sand dollar and shells using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a few Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sand dollar image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the other seashells in Calypso Coral Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sand dollar and seashell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate Inks on the envelope front and envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home For The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. I have a little sneak peek for you today coming from the August-December 2021 Mini Catalog that will be available August 3rd. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Cling Stamp Set which will be a Sale-A-Bration item starting on August 3rd.

I started by stamping the large image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image our using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I had to adjust the size of the die by cutting part of the image, turning the panel around and moving the die matching up the stitching and cutting the other half. I adhered the artwork to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb cake Ink. I tore the edges of the paper and sponged the rough edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I embossed a Crumb Cake card front using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (available August 3rd) and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set on a Basic White panel. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged the edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the image with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Posted on by
12

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Of Friendship Bundle along with the Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper. I got the inspiration for my card looking out my back window at my Purple Plum tree with the Gold Finches sitting in it.

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

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

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

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

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the detail leaf image in Merry Merlot Ink on top of the tree. I adhered a panel of Beauty Of The Earth 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 Sunflowers for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

My colors are from the Fab Friday Challenge #216.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the black bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sunflower. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Pattern Party Host DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

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 Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme ‘Punch It!’

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my card.

I used 2 punches for my card, the Label Me Lovely and Everyday Label Punch.

I started by adhering a panel of the You’re A Peach DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I adhered another panel of the You’re A Peach DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal then adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the small peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once, on the stems. I punched the image out using my Everyday Label Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of the punch over the stamped image. I punched a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Label Me Lovely Punch and adhered the sentiment to the top of it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a piece of Pale papaya 1/2″ Woven Ribbon to the card front using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal to hold it in place. I adhered the matted sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the small peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the stems, I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small peach image from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the stems. I adhered a panel of the You’re A Peach 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! Art In Bloom for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art In Bloom Bundle for my card today.

I did follow the sketch most of the way. After I had everything glued down, I realized I had forgotten my twine.

I started by stamping the large flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Art In Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower fill images over the outlined image in Calypso Coral Ink, stamped off once, Pale Papaya and Petal Pink Inks. Using my Bloom Dies and Bloom Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder sandwiched together, I embossed and cut the flowers out. I stamped the leaf images from the Art In Bloom stamp set multiple times on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the outline and fill images in Just Jade, Mint Macaron and Soft Succulent Inks, stamping the outline in full strength and the fill stamped off once. I cut the leaves out using the Bloom Dies, I also cut a few outlined leaves in the coordinating cardstock colors.

I adhered the embossed Basic White panel (with the flowers cut out of it) to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves to the openings using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the die cut flowers to the coordinating openings using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Art In Bloom stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Bloom Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Art In Bloom stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower outline image from the Art In Bloom stamp set on a smaller panel of Basic White cardstock in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the fill images the same as I did for the card front. This time I just cut the flowers out using the Bloom Die and adhered them to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a couple leaves under the flowers while the Multipurpose Liquid Glue was still wet. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I stamped the flower outline image from the Art In Bloom stamp set on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the flower fill images in Calypso Coral Ink, stamped off once, Pale Papaya and Petal Pink Inks over the outlined images. I stamped the leaf images from the Art In Bloom stamp set in Just Jade, Mint Macaron and Soft Succulent Inks around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Biggest Wish for Amy’s Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

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 Jillian Good’s 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! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Patterned Party Host Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of the Patterned Party DSP to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Patterned Party DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set 3 times, using my Stamparatus, in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom, partially overlapping the last ‘Happy’. I embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic Black mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Black Matte Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Patterned Party DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo 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 Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Patterned Party DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
