Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom for Amy’s 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.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Cling Stamp Set for my card along with some Sale-a-bration DSP. Here’s my card.

My sketch is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #250

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

I adhered 3 panels of the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item), to 3 Rococo Rose mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 matted panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon to a thin strip of Night of Navy cardstock using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the matted DSP panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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

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

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! Four Season Floral Birthday 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 sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Four Season Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set along with Flower & Field Designer Series Paper which you can earn FREE from Sale-A-Bration. Here’s our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Flower & Field DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Flower & Field DSP to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller matted panel to the card front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Four Season Floral stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flower image in using my Just Jade and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Four Season Floral stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the flower image. I adhered the artwork to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack around the card front twice and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the card front, over the twine, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Opal Rounds 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. I stamped the flower from Four Season Floral stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Just Jade and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Flower & Field DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower from Four Season Floral stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Just Jade and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flower & Field DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings 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 and staying healthy. 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 awesome projects. Here is my card for today.

I used the Free Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Bundle from the Sale-A-Bration! Catalog. This bundle is free with a qualifying order of $100. You get the stamp set and a full pack of Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. Our challenge this week was to use anything from the Sale-A-Bration! Catalog

I started by adhering a panel of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper to a Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a panel of Pacific Point cardstock using the Ornate Borders Dies on both sides. I adhered a panel of Berry Delightful DSP to the center of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I embossed a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Pacific Point mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the outline leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the leaf fill image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outlined image. I stamped the blueberry outline image from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the leaf and the fill image in Pacific Point Ink, stamped off once, over the outline image. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink above the blueberries. I cut the panel out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped square from a panel of Pacific Point cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped square using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top half and Glue Dots on the bottom half.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Pacific Point in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outlined leaf image from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf fill image over the outlined image in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the outline blueberry image from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Pacific Point Ink and the blueberry fill image in Pacific Point Ink, stamping off once, over the outlined image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and blueberry images from the Berry Blessings stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card front and inner liner. I adhered a panel of Berry Delightful 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! Dragonfly Garden Thanks for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today and staying healthy. 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 awesome projects. Here is my card for today.

This week we have a color challenge for our blog hop. Here are the colors. I chose Pool Party as the color of my choice. I’m really starting to like black and white cards lately.

I started by stamping the wild flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds Cling Stamp Set above the flowers in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the butterfly in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the sentiment and colored it in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party 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 stamped the wild flower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the butterfly image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the flowers and colored it in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre 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! Hey Girlfriend for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by
36

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders’ blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Love”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I decided to do a birthday card using the Stampin’ Up! Hey Girlfriend Cling Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted on by
16

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

Here’s my card using this sketch.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! Sweet Ice Cream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning and Happy New Year’s Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready to say good-bye to 2020? I sure am. This will be a year to remember for sure, a different kind of year. 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 awesome projects.
Here is our theme for this week.

Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card today along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a Pool Party card front to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the waffle image on top of the cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut the cone out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set 3 times on the panel of Whisper White cardstock, once in Petal Pink Ink, once in Bumblebee Ink stamped off once and once in Soft Seafoam Ink. I cut all the images out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink multiple times on the panel. I adhered the ice cream cone to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Soft Seafoam ice cream on top of the cone using Glue Dots. I adhered the Bumblebee ice cream on top of the Soft Seafoam using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Petal Pink on the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sprinkle image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items used for my card will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Amy’s page.

Good Thursday morning and Merry Christmas Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready for the big day? I’m as ready as I’m going to be this year. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here’s my card using the sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Bundle for my card today.

I started by coloring a panel of the new True Love Designer Series Paper (coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog) using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered a panel of the True Love DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched rectangle panel to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of 1/4″ Old Olive Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Onate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the True Love DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a panel of the colored True Love DSP to the envelope front and 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.

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302) – SOLD OUT
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time.

Stampin’ Up! Posted For You for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
16

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. How is everyone doing today? It’s very cold here. We got quite a bit of snow yesterday and it’s continuing into today. Perfect day for me to be baking. 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 awesome projects.
Here are our colors for this week

Here’s my card using these colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Posted For You Cling Stamp Set for my card today. My design is from Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #486. Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the floral image from the Posted For You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the round sentiment from the Posted For You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the same panel of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Circles Die, I cut 2 circles from a panel of Flowers For Every Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I cut 4 scalloped circles from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock matching the sizes of the circles, using the Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the circles to the scalloped circles using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Posted For You stamp set in Versamark Ink on a strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a small piece of 1/4″ Old Olive Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 stamped circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 DSP circles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Posted For You stamp set in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Posted For You stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the front of the envelope. I colored the image in using my Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Flowers For Every Season 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! Mountain Air for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

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 sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week

Here is my card using this sketch.

I pulled out a bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog for today’s card, the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Bundle. I thought it made a nice wintery masculine birthday card.

I started by stamping the mountain image from the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the tree image from the Mountain Air stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the same panel. I cut both image out using the Majestic Mountain Dies.

On a smaller panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of the panel. I stamped the cloud image from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once. I colored the moon/sun in using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the die cut mountains over the stamped mountains using Stampin’ Dimensionals, then I adhered the die cut trees to the bottom of the panel overlapping the mountains using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom only. I adhered the artwork to a Garden Green panel on an angle using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friend Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friend Like You stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the bird image from the Mountain Air stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink about 1/2″ from the bottom of the panel. I stamped the tree image from the Mountain Air stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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.
