Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Thank You

Posted on by
12

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at work all day today, but I can’t complain, I just had a couple days off.

To continue for the week, I have another card using just Sale-A-Bration items. I used the Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches #473.

I started by using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and cutting the center out of a panel of Flower & Field DSP. I cut a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I needed to make the scallop rectangle a little longer so I ran the die through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine part way. I moved the die down 1 scallop, turned the cardstock around with the die in place and ran it through the other half. I adhered the DSP rectangle to the scallop rectangle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the larger cut DSP panel to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a strip of Oh So Ombre DSP. I cut 3/4″ off each side of the strip of DSP. I adhered the 2 – 3/4″ pieces to the card front using Multipurposed Liquid Glue.

On the remaining piece of Oh So Ombre DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the scalloped panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, lining up each side. I added a few Opal Rounds to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Flower & Field DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Oh So Ombre mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Oh So Ombre DSP to the envelope front and a panel of the Flower & Field 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! Party Punch CAS

Posted on by
10

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? Is anyone doing anything this weekend? I have off today and work tomorrow. Hopefully the snow is finished for a while now. It snowed all day yesterday, but it was the kind of snow that didn’t accumulate.

For today (and probably the whole week), I used some Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Punch Party Photopolymer SAB Host Stamp Set to make a Clean and Simple card for you. You have 1 week left to get these items. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #207.

I also played along with TGIF Challenge #304, It’s All About Sale-A-Bration.

I started by adhering a panel of the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of the Paper Blooms DSP and adhered it to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Punch Party stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. This set is available as a FREE Host gift or for orders of $300 or more. I adhered a piece of the Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Flamingo Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the tiny flower from the Punch Party stamp set in Night of Navy Ink next to the sentiment and colored it in using my Rococo Rose and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tiny flower from the Punch Party stamp set across the bottom front of the envelope in Night of Navy Ink and colored them in using my Night of Navy and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Paper Blooms 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 items I used (except for the inner sentiment) are all Sale-A-Bration items. These items will only be available for 1 more week then they are gone for good. Don’t miss out on the free items. If you want the stamp set and want to get together with a couple friends to earn it for free, contact me and I’ll tell you how, but remember, you only have one week left to get it. The Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray are 2 of the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring soon. Now is the perfect time to stock up before they go on the retiring list. Plus as a bonus if you stock up now, you will earn yourself some free Sale-A-Bration items. Double Win!! Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? We got another 8″ of snow yesterday topped with a little ice. I’m really ready for spring and to start planting my flowers. Are you ready for the weekend? I’m actually only working on Sunday this weekend. I was shocked when I looked at my calendar, but it was a very pleasant surprise.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched 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. I used the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. I really didn’t think I was going to like this set when it came out last year, but I have gotten so much use of it between birthday cards and Mother’s Day cards. I’m really loving this set. Here’s my card that I made.

My colors for today’s card were from Inspire. Create. Challenge # 084.

I started with a panel of True Love Designer Series Paper cutting the panel only to the flowers then fussy cutting them using my Paper Snips. I colored just the center flowers in on the DSP using my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I scored a Rococo Rose card base at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″, scoring and folding on both folds inward. I adhered a panel of Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper to the bottom front section of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the cut and colored panel of True Love DSP to the top of the DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Rococo Rose ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Rococo Rose Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the 3rd smallest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the flower image on the bottom of the die cut panel in Rococo Rose Ink. I stamped the rose fill image in Rococo Rose Ink over the outlined image stamping off twice. I adhered a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock to the inside of the Rococo Rose card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink in the 4 corners of the panel. I adhered the scalloped sentiment to the Sahara Sand panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I made 2 small bows using the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon. I adhered 1 to the inside sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I first adhered the 2nd Blushing Bride bow to the top of the front of the card base using a Glue Dot. I adhered a panel of Love You Always Specialty DSP to the envelope flap. I stamped the outline flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the envelope front in Rococo Rose.

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 my video on my Facebook page Here.

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

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! Zany Zebras Baby Card

Posted on by
3

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and heading towards the weekend. How is your week going?

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Welcome Wee One challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zebras Cling Stamp Set for my card today. I was inspired by the colors in the photo and the zebra rug under the ottoman.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join use this week to play along with our challenge #149. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of Playing With Patterns 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Petal Pink using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using the Banner Triple Punch and adhered it to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the adorable zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I colored the zebras ear, nose and mouth using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the image to the card front overlapping the Petal Pink panel and the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Coastal Cabana Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the inside of the ears, nose and mouth with my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored the ear, nose and mouth using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Playing With Patterns 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! Celebrate Sunflowers CAS Birthday

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything for Valentine’s Day? I worked all day and came home to my daughter making dinner for us. She made Chicken Parmigiana with a side of Angel Hair and it was delicious.

I have a clean and simple birthday card for you today. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set for my birthday card.

I started by adhering a panel of Blushing Bride Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I masked the sunflower and stamped the leaf image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set around it in Mossy Meadow Ink. To mask an image, you stamp the image on a sticky note and fussy cut it using your Paper Snips. Adhere the sticky note image over the stamped image and stamp the next image overlapping the sticky note. When you remove the sticky note it looks like the leaves are behind the flower. I colored the leave in using my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. Since there isn’t a Bumblebee marker, I applied some ink to a Clear Acrylic Block and used my Water Painters filled with alcohol to color my sunflower. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampn’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Using my Paper Snips I cut the ends of the strip on an angle. I adhered a strip of Bumblebee cardstock, which I cut one end on an angle using my Paper Snips, to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink towards the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card front image. I adhered a strip of Subtle DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP 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! Soar Confidently CAS

Posted on by
13

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Valentine’s Day. Hope you will be spending the day doing something you enjoy. I’ll be at working being visited by all the little furry friends and their owners getting them Valentines.

Once again I have something a little different for you today. I thought I would show you how to step up a card from a Beginner Stamper to a Casual Stamper and finally an Avid Stamper. I used the Stampin’ Up! Soar Confidently Cling Stamp Set for all my cards. Here are my cards.

I played along with the Cardz For Guys CAS Clean and Simple Challenge #264.

My first card is for the Beginner Stamper just using Stamp, Ink and Paper. I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock off centered towards the top of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! By The Dock Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Early Espresso Ink. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Very Vanilla panel in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the hot air balloon image from the Soar Confidently on the front of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope in Early Espresso Ink and adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

For my Casual Stamper you might want to add just a little something extra, but not too much. I stamped the airplane image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the top of a Very Vanilla card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set on the bottom of the card front in Early Espresso Ink. I embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the airplane image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

For my Avid Stamper I added more layers and embellishments. An Avid Stamper may want to add punches, die cuts, multiple layers and maybe even make a collage card. I did what I would call a basic Avid Card. I stamped the blimp image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the top of a Very Vanilla card front off centered. I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink off centered towards the bottom of the card front in Early Espresso Ink. I embossed the card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I weaved one of the slides from the Antique Corners & Slides Elements on a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim and wrapped it around the matted panel, adhering it in the back with some Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple of the corners from the Antique Corners & Slides Elements to the top of the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the blimp image from the Soar Confidently stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The envelopes for the Casual and Avid Stampers were done the same as the Beginner Stamper except using the airplane and blimp images.

I consider myself an Avid Stamper, but sometimes can pull off a Beginner & Casual Stamper cards. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my cards and I was able to explain the different stampers to you. What kind of stamper are you? Enjoy your day. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Quick and Easy Card Pack

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s weekend started off? I’ll be at work all day today and tomorrow. Last I heard, we will not be getting snow this weekend, but it’s still early to tell.

Today I have something a little different for you. I don’t have step by step instructions for you since I made a pack of cards. This would make a great gift for someone tied up with some ribbon or put in one of our Acetate Card Boxes and decorated. If you have any questions about any of the cards, please message me and I will explain how I made them. Here are the cards.

I used 1 sheet of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper and 1 sheet of the Golden Garden Designer Series Acetate to make all 6 cards. I placed the acetate over the DSP, tacked it in a couple places using Glue Dots and cut 4″ X 5 1/4″ panels.

This card I used So Saffron and Poppy Parade cardstock and just did a simple layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink and cut it our with the Messages Dies. Adhered it to Hippo and Friends die cut mat and adhered it to the card front.

This card I used Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile cardstock and just did a simple layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink and cut it our with the Label Me Fancy Punch and adhered it to the card front. Stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink & Terracotta Tile, stem in Old Olive and cut images out with Floral Gallery Dies.

This card I used Bumblebee and Old Olive cardstock and just did a simple layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink, cut it our with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front. Stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set using my Bumblebee and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers and cut image out with Floral Gallery Dies.

This card I used Pool Party and Night of Navy cardstock and just did an angle layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink, cut it out with the Floral Gallery Dies and the large sentiment out of Night of Navy cardstock and adhered them to the card front.

This card I used Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot cardstock and just did a simple layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink, cut it our with the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped mat from Merry Merlot cardstock using the Layering Ovals Dies, adhered the sentiment and adhered it to the card front.

This card I used Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow cardstock and just did a simple layering. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink, cut it our with the Messages Dies. I cut an oval mat using the Layering Ovals Dies, adhered the sentiment and adhered it to the card front.

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

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

Posted on by
10

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.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Inspiration

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on the downhill to the weekend.

Today’s card was a sketch/color challenge from my Upline Jaimie Babarczy. She’s given us a sketch and colors to work with each week for the past month. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle for my card along with the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. Here is our sketch and colors for the week.

I started by embossing the bottom of a Mossy Meadow card front using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP to the top of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride Bakers Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice. One of the dragonflies I stamped the wing fill image in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the wings. The other dragonfly image I decided to color the wings using the Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink that I put on a Clear Block. Can you tell which is which??? I punched the dragonflies out using the Dragonflies Punch and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the sentiment to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on 2 corners of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the dragonflies in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink on a Clear Block. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in using my Clear Wink of Stella and Blushing Bride Ink. I adhered a panel of Dandy 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!!
