Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Hello CAS

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous spring day here. Sunday, well, lets just say it was a good day to stay in. Unfortunately I had to go out to work, it was just a very rainy gloomy day.

I have another quick and easy card for you today using the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Cling Stamp Set. The main part of my card uses the Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Fab Friday Challenge #210.

I started by embossing a Smoky Slate card front using the Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut a mat from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the larger die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I punched one of the dragonflies out of a panel of the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper using my Dragonflies Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the dandelion image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dandelion image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Happy Thoughts CAS

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Hope you have something fun planned for the weekend. The weather is getting nicer that we can do more outside, but of course I’ll be inside working all weekend. It actually hit 80 here yesterday, it was gorgeous out.

For today I used some items that will be retiring soon for a quick and easy card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Four Season Floral Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

The Four Seasons Floral set was in the beginners brochure. If you like this set, last time I looked online this set is only $5.60, you might want to grab this one. This is a perfect set for a beginner stamper. I also used the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper which will be retiring and is only $6.90. You don’t want to wait to grab these items.

I started by adhering a Flowers For Every Season 6 X 6 DSP card front to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Story Label Punch. I stamped the flower image from the Four Season Floral stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink over the sentiment. I punched another label using the Story Label Punch from a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock and adhered it under the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a multi loop bow using Linen Thread and tied it with a length of Misty Moonlight/Silver twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the bow to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2019-2021 in-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Four Season Floral stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic 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 finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Four Season Floral stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Flowers For Every 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! Butterfly Brilliance Gala

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you. Even if you are not Irish, today everyone has just a bit in them. I don’t have any Irish in me (just Italian), but growing up my mom always made corn beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t forget to wear your Green today!! We’re halfway through the week and heading towards the weekend, hope you are making some fun plans.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set. The butterfly was my main inspiration for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #151. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by cutting a Shimmery White card front using the Potted Succulents Dies and adhered it to a panel of Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the largest butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the butterfly out using my Brilliant Wings Dies. I colored the butterfly in using my Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends Markers. From a panel of Basic Black cardstock I cut the largest detailed butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies and adhered it to the colored butterfly using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the butterfly body and fluffed the wings out. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Potted Succulents Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of Butterfly Bijou DSP to either side 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 Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I adhered a strip of Butterfly Bijou 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Brilliant Wings

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I was able to attend our quarterly meeting in person. It was only my team leader and myself along with everyone else virtually, but I really enjoyed myself. It was great getting out for a bit with someone other than my co-workers.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting and it was designed by one of my team members and upline Jaimie Babarczy. She always designs simple yet elegant cards. All the cards we made yesterday used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection in one way or another. I’ll be showing my cards throughout the week. Here’s my card for today.

I’m playing along with the Inspire. Create. Challenge #086.

I started by embossing a Terracotta Tile card front using the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of True Love Designer Series Paper to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal then adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut the largest butterfly out of a panel of Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper. I adhered the cut DSP to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another one of the same detailed butterflies out of a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the butterfly over the Butterfly Bijou DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the body of the butterfly. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Black cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment using my Tasteful Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dot. 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 Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. Remember that butterfly I cut out of the Butterfly Bijou DSP panel? I adhered it below the sentiments using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the body. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP to the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the True Love 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. Don’t forget, Terracotta Tile is one of the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring May 3rd. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Dragonfly

Posted on by
18

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to turn your clocks ahead? I made sure I did all of mine before retiring last night. I love this time of year, getting up in the daylight and it staying light out later at night. How about you, which time of year do you prefer?

I have a quick card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #633. These colors give me that summer feeling.

I played along with Just Us Girls Trend Week Challenge #575. Use and Embossing Folder.

I also played along with Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges #270. Their Theme is Sky High – anything That Flies.

I started by embossing a Crumb Cake card front using the Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder. On an panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I punched the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch. I punched both sides of the sentiment using the Label Me Fancy Punch again and threaded a length of Seaside Spray 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon through.

I wrapped the ribbon around the card front securing it on the back of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Seaside Spray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Basic Gray Ink twice. I punched both dragonflies out using my Dragonfly Punch. I colored one of the dragonfly’s wings using my Clear Wink of Stella brush and Seaside Spray Ink (which I put on a clear block). Using my Bone Folder, I fluffed the wings of the colored dragonfly and adhered just the bodies of the dragonflies together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the dragonfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to my card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on the panel in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake 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 dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front and 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! Dragonfly Garden Hello for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
20

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. I used the new Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Bundle along with the Dandy Garden 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card using this weeks colors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I used multiple stamp sets for today’s card, but mainly the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Cling Stamp Set. I was inspired by the colors and the bouquet of flowers for my collage card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join us this week to play along with our challenge #150. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Thick Basic White Card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered another darker panel of In Good Taste DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped multiple fern images from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green, Just Jade and Pear Pizzazz Inks. I cut the images out using the Forever Flourishing Dies. I punched 9 daisies using the Medium Daisy Punch and adhered them together in sets of 3 using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the flower pot from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the flower pot and sentiment out using the Potted Succulents Dies and colored the flower pot in using my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using my Forever Flourishing Dies I cut other fern and leaf images from the Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Soft Seafoam panels of cardstock. Using the tiny flower dies from the Wreath Builder Dies I cut out 12 flowers from the panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the tiny flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border Punch from the panel of So Saffron cardstock.

I flipped the flower pot upside down and adhered a piece of the 1/4″ Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim with an Antique Slide from the Antique Corners & Slides Embellishments around the pot adhering it in the back with Glue Dots. I adhered the flower pot to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the pieces of fern and flowers to the card front arranging them how I liked using Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment and small daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the daisy centers in using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped some of the fern images from the Forever Fern stamp set on the envelope front and adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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! Berry Blessings

Posted on by
8

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? Yesterday I went to work and they said rain, so I brought my umbrella. My office is in the center of the store and I don’t have any windows. After a couple hours in the back, I came out and to my surprise there were about 3″ of snow covering the parking lot and sidewalks. I don’t think this snow is ever going to stop and go away. With the sun shining the other day, even though it was cold, it looked like spring was trying to make an appearance.

I used a Sale-A-Bration Bundle for today’s card that you can earn free with a qualifying order, but only until Sunday February 28th. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set that is bundled with the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper as a Sale-A-Bration item. You can earn this bundle with a $100 order and it pairs up wonderfully with the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Bundle.

I started by adhering a panel of the Berry Delightful DSP to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Berry Blessings stamp set, on a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the outline leaves image in Shaded Spruce Ink a few times. I stamped the leaves fill image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outline image. I stamped the blueberry outline image in Pacific Point Ink matching up the berries and leaves. I stamped the berry fill image over the outline image in Balmy Blue Ink. I cut the panel out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Pacific Point mat which I cut using the larger die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Pacific Point Ink and cut it into a banner using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Pacific Point Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline leaves image from the Berry Blessings stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink across the top of the panel. I stamped the leaves fill image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outlined image. I stamped the outline blueberry image in Pacific Point Ink and the blueberry fill image in Balmy Blue Ink over the outlined image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves and blueberry images the same as I did for the card on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delightful 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! 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! 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!!
