Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Thanks

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a rainy one here Saturday but turned out to be pretty nice on Sunday. Yesterday after our team meeting, I finally got some of my Paper Pumpkin kits finished. I’m determined to get myself caught up with all the kits I have and then maybe I can get them done as they come in each month. I was able to finish 3 kits, which was 27 cards. I have one kit sitting on my table all taken apart to finish after work today.

Today’s card uses the basics, Stamps, Ink and Paper. I thought I’d do something simple for a change, lol. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Cling Host Stamp Set for my card today.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Challenge #116.

I started by stamping the mouse image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set in So Saffron Ink on the 2 corners of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the mouse image on the card front. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Color & Contour stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mouse image and the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance 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. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Bundle from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the TGIF Challenge #367.

I started by adhering a panel of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper to a Soft Succulent card base. I cut a panel of Soft Succulent and Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 2 rectangles together using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered die cuts to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the coordinating die from the Ranunculus Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From panels of Fresh Freesia, Shimmery White and Vellum Paper, I cut 2 of the small floral dies using the Ranunculus Dies from each panel. I adhered them behind the rose die using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.

On a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock, I stamped the script image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Versamark Ink on top of the script image. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the narrowest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In- Color Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and colored it using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Heart & Home DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Tea for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is May Flowers. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set and Tea Boutique 6X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the beautiful flowers and colors from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #175.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I marked the panel on the right side down 2 1/4″. I cut from the bottom left corner to the 2 1/4″ mark using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the embossed panel to a Calypso Coral card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I colored the smaller floral stamp from the Shaded Summer stamp set using my Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped the image on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image out using the coordinating die from the Summer Shadow Dies. I cut the solid teacup from the Teacup Dies from a panel of Tea Boutique DSP. I adhered the flower image to the back of the teacup using a Glue Dot and then to the card front on the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the tea tag image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set inside the tag in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the tag out using the Teacup Dies. Using my Label Me Fancy Punch, I punched the small hole in the top of the tag. I colored a piece of White Baker’s Twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack, using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers and threaded it through the hole on the tag. I adhered the Baker’s Twine behind the tag and behind the cut with a small piece of Tear & Tape. I added a few Calypso Coral Polished Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the small floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set using my Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers and stamped it on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the envelope front colored the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

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. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (bundle price only available until May 2nd), and the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

My colors are from the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #542.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered layer to a Parakeet Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I embossed a panel of Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I adhered the Shimmer Vellum to the card front using Stampin’ Seal only under where the sentiment and butterfly were placed.

Using my Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut a solid butterfly from a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I cut the coordinating detailed butterfly from a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the detailed butterfly to the solid butterfly just on the body using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the butterfly to the vellum panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added black Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the butterfly body.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the vellum panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brillance Cling Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the Parakeet Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique 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 and see everyone’s projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Tara’s page. Or you can just click on the names below to go directly to all their blogs! Happy Hopping!!

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is How Does Your Garden Grow. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set and Heart & Home Designer Series paper for my Free Style Collage Card. I was inspired by the beautiful flowers and colors from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #174.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of Heart & Home DSP to a Basic White Thick card base. I stamped the daisy image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. Using my Blending Brush, I added Tahitian Tide Ink (available May 3rd) on the Basic White panel around the stamped image. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the foxglove flower and bumblebee images from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Stamp Set 3 times in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the images out with the coordinating from the Honeybee Blooms Dies. I colored the images in using my Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the panel of Basic White cardstock, using my Blending Brush I added Orchid Oasis Ink (available May 3rd). I cut one of the stand alone dies from the Honeybee Blooms Dies twice from the inked area. I cut the other stand alone die from the Honeybee Blooms Dies from a panel of Orchid Oasis cardstock (available may 3rd) twice. I cut 3 of the grass dies from the Honeybee Blooms Dies from a panel of Old Olive cardstock.

I arranged all the die-cut pieces on the stamped panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the flowers and grass die cuts with Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the 2022-2024 In-Color Baker’s Twine (available May 3rd) around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes along the bottom of the panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower and bumblebee images from the Honeybee Home stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and colored them using my Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Honeybee Home stamp set on the envelope front and colored it using my Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Heart & Home DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I worked all weekend but found a little time to get outside for a bit. It was cool and beautiful here in NJ.

I played with one of my favorite sets for today’s card. I’m going to be sorry to see this one go at the end of June. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Bundle along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the new Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 3rd) for my card today.

I used the sketch and photo from the Fusion Tulips Challenge for my card today.

I started by cutting the top of a Basic Whtie card front using the small square die from the Tulip Dies. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP along the right side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another strip of the Flowering Fields DSP on the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock I stamped the watering can image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the stem/leaves image in Pear Pizzazz Ink and the tulip head image in Highland Heather and Petal Pink Inks on the Basic White panel. I cut all the images out using my Rain Boots Dies. I cut apart the stem/leaves die cut image using my Paper Snips. I cut apart the tulip head die cuts using my Paper Snips. I adhered the watering can to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the stem/leaves die cuts behind the watering can using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tulip heads to the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink below the sentiment. I stamped the stem/leaves image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the tulip heads image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the stems. I adhered a couple of the tulip heads that I cut apart on the stems. I adhered a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems and flower images from the Flowering Rain Boots on the envelope front in Pear Pizzazz and Petal Pink Inks. I adhered a panel of Flowering Fields DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Butterflies for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
22

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. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks along with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Cling Stamp Set and Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #387.

I started with a Basic White card front and using my Blending Brushes and the Butterflies & Flowers Masks I added Bermuda Bay Ink with the open butterfly mask on the top and bottom of the panel. I placed the detail butterfly mask over the inked image and added Pacific Point Ink. I embossed the panel using my Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered a panel of the Brights DSP to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from Lovey You stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch. I threaded a length of White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon through the 2 ends and adhered it to the back of the card front using Tear & Tape.

I adhered the card front to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Coastal Cabana Playing with Patterns Resin Dots to the artwork and a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies to the punched sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Lovely You stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights 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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots

Posted on by
14

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend. Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

I was looking through my card stash yesterday and wanted to send a thinking of you card. I realized I don’t have many cards that are for ‘just because’. So, I decided to make one. Have you ever had one of those crafting days that everything goes wrong? It took me 5 tries to get this card right. I knew exactly what I wanted, but it just wouldn’t go on paper that way. Then when I thought I had it, the ink smudged. Tuesday is usually my day to get myself a little ahead, not yesterday. We’ll blame it on the weather. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin” Up! Flowering Rain Boots Bundle along with the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Sweet Pastels Challenge #281.

I played along with The Paper Players Clean & Simple Challenge #587, April Showers.

I started by stamping the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! Paradise Palms Cling Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink along the bottom of a Basic White card front. On a panel of the Subtle DSP I stamped the rain boots image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Rain Boots Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink. I cut the boots out using my Rain Boots Dies.

I stamped the stem/leaves image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the Basic Whtie card front. I stamped the tulip heads image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set on the stems in Highland Heather Ink on top of the stem. I adhered the rain boots to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the card front. From a strip of Basic White cardstock I cut the cloud looking die from the Basic Borders Dies and adhered it to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a So Saffron mat and then to the front of a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials that looked like rain drops to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem/leaves image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the tulip heads in Highland Heather Ink on top of the stems. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stems/leaves image from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the bottom of the envelope front and the tulips in Highland Heather Ink on the top of the stems. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery for The Card Concepts Challenge

Posted on by
2

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. It’s supposed to be a beautiful spring day here in NJ. We’ll have to see what happens 😉

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Vintage Style. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (available May 3) and the Brushstroke Specialty Paper (available May 3) for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the flowers on the pillow and the colors from the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #173.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a Soft Suede card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the new 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of the new Brushstroke Specialty Paper to a Soft Suede mat and then to the card front. On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the stem. I stamped the detailed flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink over the solid image. I cut the panel using the largest circle from the new Stylish Shapes Dies (available May 3) and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the Very Vanilla Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink above and below the sentiment. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged them with some Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Blushing Bride mat and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Some of the products used for my card today won’t be available until May 3 from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans. It’s warming up here a little, hopefully to stay this time.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Easter Blessings.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends Cling Stamp Set along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper for my clean and simple card today. The Bunnies and colors were my inspiration from the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #172.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of You’re A Peach DSP to a Balmy Blue card base. I stamped the bunny image from Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the gras image from the Easter Friends stamp set below the bunny in Pear Pizzazz Ink.

I cut the 3rd largest Scalloped Contours Die from a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the bunny image to the center using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a strip of You’re A Peach DSP I cut the eggs using the Birds & More Dies(retiring May 2). I adhered 1 using a Glue Dot and the others using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Balmy Blue cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end of the sentiment strip using my Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Calypso Coral Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the grass image from Easter Friends stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink along the bottom of the panel. I adhered the eggs cut from the panel of You’re A Peach DSP using the Birds & More Dies along the bottom of the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of You’re A Peach DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

  • Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.
