Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. How has your week been?
For today’s card I’ve made an Easter card using the Stampin’ Up You’re Inspiring Stamp Set. With spring less then 2 weeks away I’m just waiting for the daffodils to start blooming. Here is my card.
I’ve played along with The Paper Players Theme Challenge #431. Be sure to stop by to play along and see the beautiful projects everyone has made. Here is their challenge.
I started with a Mint Macaron card base and cut 3 1/4″ off the top of the front leaving 2 1/4″. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the small daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink a couple times to fill the panel. I colored the image in using my Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the tiny background image from the same stamp set in Pool Party Ink above the daffodils. I adhered the artwork to a Daffodil Delight mat using Snail then to the bottom of the front card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a larger panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the larger daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink so that it would be coming up from behind the small card front panel. I colored the image in using my Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers.
I adhered the larger Whisper White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat using Snail then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a butterfly from the Stampin’ Up Butterfly Gala Stamp Set that I had stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and Daffodil Delight Ink. I punched the butterfly out using the Butterfly Duet Punch and adhered it by the daffodils using a Glue Dot. I added a couple Pearl Basic Jewels that I had colored using my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend Marker.
On the inside I added the sentiment from the You’re Inspiring stamp set. I stamped the Happy Easter in Mint Macaron Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the tiny background image around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. I edged the stitched rectangle using my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Marker. I adhered it under the daffodils using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the large daffodil image from the You’re Inspiring stamp set on the front of the envelope. I stamped the smaller daffodil image from the same stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored all the daffodils in the same as I did for the card.

Product List
I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card base and scored and folded it at 4 1/4″ and 2 1/8″. Here’s what it looks like folded.
I adhered 2 different panels of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to a Call Me Clover mats using Snail. I then adhered them both to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On another small piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the birthday sentiment from Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set in Call Me Clover Ink. Using my Big Shot again, I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Stitched Rectangle Framelit Die. Then using the next size up, I cut another Stitched Rectangle out in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Snail and then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Call Me Clover Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots to the card front and the sentiment. I also added 2 Candle Embellishments to the sentiment. In case you can’t tell, the card was for a 2 year old.
Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, welcome and be sure to hop around and see all the beautiful projects that everyone has made. If you are hopping over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog. The 2nd Tuesday of every month this amazing group of ladies puts together a blog hop and you are guaranteed to see a lot of gorgeousness. This months theme is ‘Birthday’. I made a fun fold card for today’s blog hop. I saw this design on Pinterest, but can not remember who made it. Here is my card.
There are a lot of pieces to my card and all the measurements are found below. I started with a Highland Heather panel of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Basic Black mat using Snail. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Humming Along Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I punched the sentiment out using the Pretty Label Punch. I punched out 2 more of the labels from my Basic Black cardstock.
Using the Butterfly Duet Punch, I punched out some butterflies from a couple different Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration item). The great thing about this punch is it not only punches out the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set it also fits the butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP which is a FREE item with a $50 during Sale-A-Bration. I adhered 2 small and 1 large butterfly to the card front and 1 small butterfly to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added one of the Butterfly Elements (another Sale-A-Bration item) behind the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also added one of the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the sentiment. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I adhered 2 panels of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to Basic Black mats using Snail and I adhered them both to either side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using my Big Shot I cut out 4 stitched squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies in the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP. I adhered all 4 of them to a Basic Black mat and a Highland Heather mat both cut from my Layering Squared Framelits Dies, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a butterfly punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP, to each of the squares using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to each of the squares. I adhered a Basic Black strip of paper, which had been scored, to the inside only adhering it on the 2 end sections. I adhered each of the squares to a section of the Basic Black strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Here is a top view of the inside.
After I was all finished with the inside I realized that I didn’t leave a spot to put a sentiment or write, So I added another panel to the back.
I adhered a panel of the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP to a Basic Black mat using Snail. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a couple more of the butterflies punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhered them to the Whisper White panel and cut off what over hung using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card back using Snail and adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Their challenge was to use Glossy Paper. Here is what I came up with. Take a look.
I started with 2 pieces of Glossy White cardstock and did the Shaving Cream Technique on them using Petal Pink, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Ink Refills. Once the paper was dry, I stamped the sentiment and the cake from Stampin’ Up Amazing Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on them and let the ink dry completely. Once they were dry I adhered the panel with the sentiment onto the Petal Pink cardstock and the panel with the cake onto the Soft Sea Foam cardstock.
I adhered the So Saffron panel to the Soft Sea Foam panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I then adhered the Petal Pink cardstock to a So Saffron panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I wrapped a piece of Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon around the Soft Sea Foam side and tied a knot. I secured the knot with a Glue Dot. I added some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls and Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Glossy White artwork panels.
On the inside on a Whisper White panel I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Amazing Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center. I stamped the scroll from the same stamp set above the sentiment in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Petal Pink using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a Merry Merlot card base. I cut the front leaving 2 1/2″ from the center score line. I then cut the remaining piece to 1 1/2″. I stamped the top with the Cheer sentiment from Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Versamark Ink and sprinkled it immediately with my Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I heat set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the Holiday out from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies using my Big Shot from a piece of Copper Foil Sheet and adhered it above the Cheer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Merry Christmas To All Bundle is available at a 10% discount only until January 2, 2019. After that the stamp set and Thinlits Dies will be available separately at the non-discounted price. If you were thinking about getting this set, now would be the perfect time when you can save an extra 10%.
