Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Peaceful Boughs for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy Thanksgiving my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  I hope everyone has a nice day planned. I just wanted to say how Thankful I am for all of you and how if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be doing what I do. 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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Check Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set for my card today. Here’s my card using this sketch.

I played along with The Card Concept Challenge #144. Here is their inspiration photo.

I started by stamping a Cherry Cobbler card front using the Buffalo Check stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Using the Beautiful Boughs Dies again, I cut 1 medium and 2 small boughs from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, 3 small boughs from a panel of Old Olive cardstock 3 small solid pinecones from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and 3 small detailed pinecones from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock.

I adhered the Mossy Meadow boughs to a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Old Olive boughs on top of the Mossy Meadow boughs using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment on top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid ones using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered 1 to the top of the boughs using a Glue Dot and 2 on the bottom of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I made a small bow using the 1/8″ Gold Trim/Old Olive Ribbon from the All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped 2 pinecones from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the pinecone image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs.

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! Joyful Holly CAS

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through already. Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow? I’ll be making all my pies and pumpkin cheese cake tonight. We’re having a very small gathering tomorrow, just my family and my son’s girlfriend. Hopefully next year our gatherings can be back to normal.

For today’s card I kept it pretty clean and simple. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #244. Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a Garden Green card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the holly image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink twice. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed it using my Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink and cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper using my Stitched Rectangle Dies, 2 sizes larger than the artwork. I adhered the artwork to the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the holly images from the Joyful Holly stamp set on two of the corners in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the holly image from the Joyful Holly stamp set on the envelope front in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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! Winter Dressed To Impress

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It warmed up here this weekend a bit. I thought with the weather last week that we were going to get an early winter.

For today’s card I pulled out one of my favorite sets from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. A coworker asked me to make a good friend of hers a birthday card with shoes on it and she said her favorite colors were blues and purples. Here’s what I came up with.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #462. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with the Double ‘D’ Challenge. Their theme is Winter Blues. Here is their mood board.

I started by adhering a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a stitched square out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the smudge image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off twice, in the center of the square. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the shoe image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice. I colored the shoes in using my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut the images out using my All Dressed Up Dies. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the shoes to give them a shimmer. I adhered the bottom shoe to the stitched square using Glue Dots and the top shoe using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut another stitched square out of a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from Dressed To Impress stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the square. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I cut one last stitched square out of a panel of Purple Posy cardstock using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I embossed the panel using my Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered the Purple Posy Square down first using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Misty Moonlight square next using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the square with the shoes on the top of the other 2 using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped 2 sentiments in the center of a Whisper White Panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set and the other is from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set. I stamped the shoe image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set twice on the bottom of the panel. I colored the shoes in using my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers and brushed them with Clear Wink of Stella. I stamped the flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using my Just Jade and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Purple Posy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the shoe and flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the images in using my Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the shoes. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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! Nothing’s Better Than Warm Hugs

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. Hope your weekend is starting off great. I was finally able to sleep in my own bed last night and we are now able to walk on our floors. They came out gorgeous. I can’t wait to put furniture back and pictures back on the walls to make it nice and homey again.

For today’s card I combined a couple stamp sets to make another non-traditional colored Christmas card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up Nothing’s Better Thank Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set. My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #397. Here are their colors.

I also played along with Global Design Project #267. Here is their theme.

I started by adhering a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Curvy Dies twice. The Curvy Dies are available as part of a bundle with the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set. There are no measurements for how I cut the curves, I just cut them the way I liked them.

On each of the cut pieces I stamped the sentiments from the Warm Hugs stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. On a panel of Purple Posy cardstock I stamped the cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink 6 times. I cut the images out using the Love You More Than Dies. I colored the insides of the cup and saucer using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers.

On the top Whisper White panel, I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I adhered the cups to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered both Whisper White panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals trying to keep the same amount on the top and bottom.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Warm Hugs stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink 3 times along the bottom of the panel. I adhered 3 more of the cups that I stamped, colored and cut from the Purple Posy cardstock along the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Purple Posy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cup image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink above the cups. I colored the cups using my Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers and the insides of the cup and saucer using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden 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! Plaid Gnome For The Holidays for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well.  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! Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set for today’s card. Can you tell this is my favorite set in the catalog? My design is from TGIF Challenge #290. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the gnome image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I masked the gnome image with a Post-It Note and stamped the tree house image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set behind the gnome in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. To do the masking, you stamp an image on a Post-It Note and fussy cut it using your Paper Snips. You place the cut image over the stamped image and stamp the next image you want and it will appear to be behind the 1st image. I colored the images in using my Bronze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. One of the colors in the color challenge is Garden Green, but they haven’t made a Garden Green Blends Marker yet, so I used Just Jade. I cut the image out using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Dies from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. On the back of the matted artwork I added some of the Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack using Glue Dots then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment over the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Christmas Tree. On the ornaments/lights that I didn’t add rhinestones and the star I used Clear Wink of Stella.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped another one of the gnome images from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered thin strips of the ‘Tis The Season DSP on the bottom and top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the 2 gnome images from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Christmas

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Happy midweek! We’re on the down hill to the weekend already. Yesterday was one very loud day at my house. I knew it was going to be loud, I just didn’t know how loud. On the bright side, my floors are starting to look amazing. They were able to sand the stains out with no problems. We have 3 more days of staying off them, then we can walk with socks only.

I have a Christmas card for you today using non-traditional colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Bundle for my card along with the Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. My Colors were inspired by As You Like It Challenge #238. Here are their colors.

My design is from Fab Friday Challenge #201. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #352. Here is their theme.

I started by embossing a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Plaid Tidings DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the hat and scarf in using my Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snow Time Dies. Using the Snow Time Dies I embossed the top of a Basic Gray panel with the snow flake die. I adhered the snowman image to the Basic Gray panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a small Whisper White panel and cut it out using the Snow Time Dies.

I stamped a small panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the panel behind the Basic Gray panel using Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the top of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Gray 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 Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the snowman. I adhered a panel of Plaid Tidings 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! Life Is Beautiful Birthday CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend has started off wonderful. I’m at my virtual OnStage event this weekend. Even though I’m home, I’m still having a lot of fun and learning a lot. I’ll share the projects we made next week with you.

I have a masculine Clean and Simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #618. Here are their colors.

I played along with the Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #400. Here is their board. I went across the top.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #257. Their theme is ‘Birthday for an Adult Male’.

I also joined in with Just Add Ink Challenge #530. Their challenge is Stamps-Ink-Paper.

I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the leaves image from Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink hanging from the tree. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamped off once, on the bottom of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the Very Vanilla panel.

I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Suede card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, across the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped a partial tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on both sides of the envelope flap in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the leaves in Terracotta Tile Ink on the branches.

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! Christmas Means More for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Hope everyone had a productive week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I’ll be attending OnStage @ Home all day today and tomorrow. I can’t wait to be able to share some of the new items coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog with you.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watch the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s the card that I made.

My design is from Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #482. Here is their sketch.

I also joined in with Festive Friday Challenge #0071. Here is their Inspo List. I went with Die Cut, Pattern Paper, Sentiment and Fun Fold

For the card front I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the bells in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP into a banner using my Triple Banner Punch and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on top of the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 4 of the pine boughs out using the Sounds Of The Season Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I adhered 3 of the pine boughs under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the medium bell from the Sounds of the Season Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper. I took the holly and berries out of the bell and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the bell and fit the holly and berries, like a puzzle, back into the spaces (they will stick to the Stampin’ Dimensionals). I adhered the pine bough through the little hanger using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the bell just under the sentiment using the Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Directions below for the card base.

The card base takes a full sheet of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I first scored the cardstock in half at 4 1/4″. I turned the cardstock a 1/4 turn and scored again at 2 3/4″ & 8 1/4″. At the 2 3/4″ scored line, I cut from the top to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 3/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. I flipped the cardstock around and lined it up with the 8 1/4″ scored line and again cut down to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 1/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cherish The Season Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the larger double bell image from the Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink next to the sentiment and colored them in using my Gray Granite Stampn’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the gate fold part of the card I adhered 2 panels of ‘Tis The Season DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the double bell image from Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored the image in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

This week we have a Theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
Here is our Theme for this week.

Here is my card using this theme.

My colors were inspired by Global Design Project #265. Here are their colors. My free choice color was Pool Party.

My design is from TGIF Challenge #288 . Their Theme is ‘Going In Circles’

I started by using the largest snowflake die from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and cut a Whisper White card front. I curved the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set on my block so that it matched the curve of the snowflake and stamped it in Smoky Slate Ink. I wrapped a piece of the Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.

I cut 2 of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper using my So Many Snowflake Dies. I cut 2 of the stitched circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies out of a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock and adhered the snowflakes to them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched circles to the bottom of the card front, on top of the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front on top of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of Snowflake Splendor 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! Vertical Curvy Christmas

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through which means the weekend is right around the corner, YAY!!! I’m very excited for this weekend. We have our OnStage @ Home event. We were supposed to go to Salt Lake City this year, but under the circumstances we will all be watching and participating from home. I’m really looking forward to seeing what coming.

For today I have a pretty clean and simple card for you using the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Celebrations Collection. After I was all finished with it, I realized I had made a simple fun fold. So you’re getting 2 this week from me. Here’s my card for today.

I joined in with the CAS On Friday Challenge #192. Their theme is ‘Christmas’.

I started by adhering a panel of Classic Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the flourished curvy die from the Curvy Dies, I cut the card front about a 1/3 of the way in. I did have to run this through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine multiple times since I was going through cardstock and DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of the Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (available January5, 2021) to the card front in a zig-zag pattern using a little Stampin’ Seal to hold it in place. I adhered the sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

On a Whisper White panel, which is the inner liner, I stamped the pine boughs image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set on the right edge following the curve of the card front in Mossy Meadow Ink. On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the bird in using my Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set in the center of the Whisper White panel in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the bird between the pine boughs using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a couple Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the pine boughs.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the pine bough image from the Curvy Christmas stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the envelope front twice. I stamped the 2 different birds from the Quite Curvy stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the pine boughs facing each other. I colored the birds in using my Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Classic Christmas 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!!
