Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery 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, 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 amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Bundle along with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink card front from the Fine Art Floral DSP to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut another panel of the Fine Art Floral DSP using the new Scalloped Contour Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss 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 flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo, stamping off once. I stamped the detail flower image in Poppy Parade Ink over the Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the stem image from the Arty Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the images out using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the stem to the scalloped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the flower on top of the stem using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a double bow using the gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, on the side of the panel. I stamped the detail flower image in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off once, over the Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off twice, under the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink stamping off twice, on the envelope front. I stamped the detail flower image over the Flirty Flamingo in Poppy Parade Ink stamping off once. I stamped the stem image below the flower in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off twice. I adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends Happy April!!! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. 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 amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Cactus Product Medley for my card. This is such a great group of products, I’m going to be sorry to see it retire.

I started by embossing a Mossy Meadow card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to Calypso Coral card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut 2 panel of the Flowering Cactus Designer Series Paper using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 2 panels together on an angle using Stampin’ Seal then adhered them to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Cactus stamp set on the stitched circle in Mossy Meadow Ink. From a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock I cut a coordinating scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies and adhered the stitched circle to it using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small cactus image from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the small double flower image in Calypso Coral Ink 3 times. I cut the images out using my Flowering Cactus Dies. I adhered the flowers to the cactus using Glue Dots. I adhered the cactus to the bottom of the stitched circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a multi loop bow using the Calypso Coral twine from the Product Medley, and adhered it to the bottom of the stitched circle using a Glue Dot. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of the Basic White panel. I stamped the small cactus from the Flowering Cactus stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel twice. I stamped 1 set of the flowers on each cactus in Calypso Coral Ink and adhered another flower which I had cut out using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Cactus DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Arrange A Wreath for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well 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. I used the Stampin’ Up! Arrange A Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Cling Stamp Set for my card. Here is my card using this weeks theme.

I played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #105. I went across the middle

I also played along with As You See It Challenge #246.

Here is our theme this week.

I started by embossing a Just Jade card front using the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Wreath Builder Dies, I cut one of the wreaths out of a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and one from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I adhered the 2 wreaths together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the back of the wreath using Glue Dots. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the egg image from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set in Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Petal Pink, Pool Party and So Saffron Inks. I cut all the eggs out using the Wreath Builder Dies. I adhered the eggs to the wreath using Glue Dots. I tied a bow using the Just Jade Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the wreath using Glue dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the egg image from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set along the bottom of the panel in Petal Pink, Highland Heather and Pool Party Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampn’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the egg image from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set in Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Pool Party Inks across the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Soft Sea Foam Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms 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. I hope everyone is doing well today. 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 my card using this weeks sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set for my Spotlight Technique card today. Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping just the top part of the largest floral die from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White card front twice.

Using my Layering Oval Dies I cut the center of the panel out. I colored just the flowers and leaves using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers on the oval cut out. I adhered the card front to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the oval back to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered the strip to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Glue Dot. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the bottom of the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set I used for the card front in Sahara Sand Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the side of the panel and colored it in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Peony Garden 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! Dragonfly Garden Hello for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
20

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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. I used the new Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Bundle along with the Dandy Garden 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card using this weeks colors.

I played along with the Paper Players Theme Challenge #531 this week.

Here are the colors we had for our challenge this week.

I started by adhering a Dandy Garden DSP card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another panel of Dandy Garden DSP down the center of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the flowers and leaves in using my Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the flower centers in using my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed it using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the artwork to a Mossy Meadow mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a couple of the bees from a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP using my Dandy Wishes Dies and adhered them to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the bottom of the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a Ladybug Trinket by the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored the flowers and leaves in using my Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered another bee that I had cut from the Dandy Garden DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wildflower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up’ Oval Occasions for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on by
26

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 Jaimie Babarczy’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Spring”.  We can interpret this however we want.  A couple of my cashiers at work are going to be grandmas this spring, so I made a baby card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle for my card. Here’s my card.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #496.

I started by embossing a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper on an angle and adhered it to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Terracotta Tile ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, around the card front and adhered it on the back using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Terracotta Tile is another one of the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring in May.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers and leaves in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and for the flower center I used my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I punched the image out using the Double Oval Punch. Using my Layering Ovals Dies, I cut the solid oval in Terracotta Tile cardstock and the scalloped oval in Mint Macaron cardstock. I adhered them together using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Terracotta Tile Butterfly Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance for The Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. 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. I used the new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp along with the new Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card using this weeks sketch.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Challenge #251, Have A Slice.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by stamping part of the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP. I adhered the stamped DSP to a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped part of the Butterfly Brilliance stamp up one side of a panel of Basic White cardstock in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp on the envelope front in Smoky Slate Ink. I adhered a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP on 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! Darling Donkey for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
14

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Fun Fold Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

I used the Sale-A-Bration Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper to make a drapery fold for you. With this DSP the flowers matched up perfectly for me with the folds. Here is our theme for this week.

I started with a panel of Flower & Field DSP that measured 11 1/2″ X 4″ and scored it at 3″, 4″, 6″, 7″, 9″ & 10″. I made a little mark 1″ down on the end and cut from the 3″ score line to the 1″ mark. See the diagram below. I made mountain folds at the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines. I made valley folds at the 3″, 6″ & 9″ score lines.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sitting donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the folded DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal just on the 3″ X 4″ end. I stamped the sentiment from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the donkey once I knew there was enough room. I adhered the 1″ end using Stampin’ Seal on the Basic White and adhering the DSP down. I added a couple Glue Dots between the folds to hold them in place. I trimmed the excess off using my Paper Snips. The folded DSP measured 4″ X 5 1/2″ but I wanted it to fit my 4″ X 5 1/4″ card front so I had to trim.

I wrapped a piece of Bumblebee 1/4″ In-Color Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the standing donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, Ivory, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Flower & Field DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampn’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I stamped the little star image from the Darling Donkey stamp set around the donkey in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of the Flower & Field 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! From All Of Us for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. 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. My card for today is made special for my great nephew. He’s your typical monkey climbing all the time and his birthday is coming up next week, he turns 7. I used the Stampin’ Up! From All Of Us Cling Stamp Set for my card. Here is my card for today.

I played along with Global Design Project #279. They have a Theme Challenge this week.

I started by stamping the tree images from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. Using my Blending Brushes I added color to the top of the panel with Balmy Blue Ink. I added the color a little at a time until I had the shade I wanted. I then colored the tree trunks and branches in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Granny Apple Green Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large animal image from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Bronze/Ivory, Gray Granite, Just Jade, Mango Melody, Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips. I stamped the image again on another panel of Basic White cardstock. I fussy cut the ostrich and monkey images out using my Paper Snips and colored them in using my Bronze/Ivory, Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the ostrich and monkey to the larger image using Stampin’ Dimensionals then adhered the large image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the tree images from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the images in using my Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Granny Apple Green Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree images from the From All Of Us stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in using my Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the bottom of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Posted on by

Good snowy Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. I woke up to another 6″ of snow on top of the 30 plus inches we got last week and this weekend. It’s not looking like spring here for sure. I’m starting to think this snow is not going away by spring for sure.

If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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 for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Bundle and the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. Here are out colors for this weeks Blog Hop.

I started by using the Hydrangea Dies and cutting the tiny flowers from panels of Highland Heather, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray cardstock. I adhered a piece of Hydrangea Hill DSP to a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the tiny flowers to the flowers on the Hydrangea Hill DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Hydrangea Dies.

I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the card front twice, stringing it through the sentiment, and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered 2 strips of the Hydrangea Hill DSP on either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I added a couple of the tiny flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Seaside Spray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Seal.

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