Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle along with the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic DSP to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using my Aspen Tree Dies. On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the tree branch from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image using my Aspen Tree Dies. From panels of Rose Gold Specialty Paper and Gold and Rose Gold 6 X 6 Metallic Specialty Paper, I cut 3 leaves using the Aspen Tree Dies.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Vellum Paper using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the branch to the Vellum using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bird and leaves to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Vellum to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue behind the branch and bird.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White Panel. I stamped the splatter image by the sentiment in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Final Days!!

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!

Stampin’ Up! Happiest Of Birthdays Halloween

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I’m still here in Georgia. I’m having such an awesome time, I just want to stay here with everyone. We’ve been crafting, laughing, eating, crafting, laughing and eating and just having an awesome time. I don’t remember the last time I ate this much good food, and it’s very healthy too, lots of veggies. I’ll be leaving later tonight to head back to New Jersey. I’ll share some of the projects with you soon.

My niece asked me to make a card for her husband for his birthday. His absolute favorite holiday is Halloween. Luckily his birthday is close to Halloween too. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set along with the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Cute Halloween DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered another panel of the Cute Halloween DSP to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On 2 strips of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I used some washi tape to block off the center of the sentiment since I only wanted the top and bottom. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From another panel of the Cute Halloween DSP I cut out 3 of the skeleton heads using my Paper Snips and adhered them to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Cute Halloween DSP to the top and bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Cute Halloween DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like today’s card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!1

Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun for Amy’s Inkin Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Halloween Fun”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Cute Halloween 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Cute Halloween DSP on a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon, which I colored using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker, around the layered panel and adhered it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the Halloween image from the Season of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Ivory, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layered Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Layered Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Double Oval Punch I punched out the sentiment. I punched out a Basic Black scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch and adhered the sentiment to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from A Wish For Everything stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Cute Halloween DSP to the 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 Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurposed Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Halloween image from the Season of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in the same as on the card. I adhered a panel of Cute Halloween DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Halloween Fun”.  We can interpret this however we want.  I’m not a big Halloween fan, but I had a lot of fun creating this card.  Here’s my card.

My colors are from Fab Friday Challenge #196.  Here are their colors.

I also played along with ‘Just Us Girls’ Challenge #552.  They have a ‘Word Week’.  Here’s their theme.

I started by cutting the ‘BOO!’ out of a panel of Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using the Playful Alphabet Dies.  I adhered the DSP panel to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using a Foam Adhesive sheet with a panel of Basic Black cardstock, I cut the ‘BOO!’ out again using the Playful Alphabet Dies and adhered it to the card front where I cut the letters out.  I adhered the DSP letters on top of the Basic Black foam pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure the plaid lines lined up.  I cut the leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies out of panels of Bumblebee, Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider cardstock.  I ran each of the leaves through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine again adding the stitching to them from the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I stamped the pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock.  I stamped the Jack-O-Lantern face from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in the center of the pumpkin using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I punched the pumpkin out using my Apple Builder Punch.  I cut the stem for the pumpkin out of a scrap of Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the Apple Builder Punch and adhered it to the back of the pumpkin using a Glue Dot.

I arranged the leaves and pumpkin on the card front the way I wanted and adhered the leaves using Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the pumpkin using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the spider image from the Stampin’ Up! Celebration Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a scrap of the Plaid Tidings DSP.  I cut the spider out using the Celebration Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, matching up the lines on the plaid.  Using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker, I drew a line down the paper like he was coming down from his web.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the web image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the panel.  I stamped the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink 3 times on the panel and drew lines from the web down to the spiders using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the spider web from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the envelope front.  I stamped the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set twice on the envelope front and drew lines from the web to the spiders using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered a panel of Plaid Tidings DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

Stampin’ Up! Celebration Tidings Haunted Birthday

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  It was a gorgeous 55 degrees when I awoke this morning, but it was still dark out 😦  I have the windows open, the attic fan on and it is absolutely beautiful sunny day outside.   Yesterday I went to the farm to pick sunflowers, they neglected to tell us that there were no more to pick when we asked.  Instead I picked some Cockscomb, Zinnias and tomatoes.  I also came home with  a big bag full of basil that I spent a couple hours making pesto and freezing the containers.  I think I’m set for just a little while now.  Whatever basil grows now in my pots I will make pesto and use it, seems my family really likes it.

For today’s card it might look like a Halloween card, but it’s actually a birthday card.  My nieces husband loves Halloween and she wanted me to make him a birthday card.  They go all out with decorating for Halloween like I do for Christmas.  Here’s today’s card.

I had a lot of scraps of my Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper so I decided to put it on a card.  I cut 1/2″ strips of the DSP, Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I adhered the strips to a Basic Black panel using Stamp[in’ Seal.  Once all the strips were adhered, I cut the panel down to a 3 3/4″ X 5″ panel.

I stamped the large pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I stamped the face in the center of the pumpkin and punched it out using my Apple Builder Punch.  I cut the stem out of a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the spider web image from the Stampn’ Up! Celebration Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I cut the image out using the Celebration Labels Dies.  On the same panel, I stamped multiple of the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut them out using the Celebration Labels Dies.  I drew lines coming down from the spider web using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker then adhered the label to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the pumpkin to the label using Stampin’ Dimensionals and all the spiders using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I embossed a panel of the Copper Brushed Metallic cardstock using the  Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle.  I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Iridescent Pearls to the card front and brushed the spiders with some Clear Wink of Stella.

On the inside, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped  the spider web from the Celebration Tidings stamp set on the top of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Tidings stamp set in the center of the panel and the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said Cling Stamp Set below the 1st sentiment.  I stamped the spider image from the Celebration Tidings stamp set around the sentiment and drew lines using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker from the web to the spiders.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  In Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped the spider web and spiders from the Celebration Tidings stamp set on the envelope front and drew lines from the web to the spiders using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered the leftover scraps 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! A Wish For Everything Halloween Card

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?

Last night I had one of my Stamp Camp Classes at my house.  The ladies made 4 different cards.  I tried to make it a little fun by using different designs from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper.  Everyone picked an envelope with the DSP in it not knowing what they were going to get so that everyone’s card was a little different.   Here is my card for today.

My card was inspired by Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge #203.  Here is their theme.

I started by cutting the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper into 1 1/2″ strips.  I adhered the DSP to a Basic Black card front using Multipurpose Glue.  I wrapped a piece of the Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Lined Ribbon around the card front and tied a knot.  I put a small Glue Dot under the knot to hold it in place.

I cut the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Word Wishes Dies out of a piece of Basic Black and Very Vanilla cardstock.  I adhered them together giving it a shadow effect.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front on an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I had colored using my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.  I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I adhered a strip of the Monster Bash DSP to the envelope bottom and a panel 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!!

I started by adhering a panel of Terracotta Tile cardstock to a Basic Black mat using Snail.  I adhered the 2 panels of  Monster Bash Designer Series Paper to Basic Black mats using Snail.  I adhered the 2 matted DSP’s to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the pirate duck image from the Stampin’ Up Birds of a Feather Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Light Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the artwork to a Basic Black mat using Snail and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using the smallest circle from the Layering Circles Dies.  I cut a Basic Black scalloped circle out using the Layering Circles Dies.  I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional.  I added a couple of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I colored with my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.  I adhered the card front to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Wish for Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I adhered 2 strips of Monster Bash DSP to the top and bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the pirate duck from the Birds of a Feather stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the image in the same as I did for the card front.  I adhered a panel of the Monster Bash DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. Now be sure to hit Previous to hop back to Mary Deatherage’s blog or hit Next to head over to Julie Johnson’s blog. You can also click on each of the names and hop around that way. Happy Hopping!!

Stampin’ Up Harvest Hellos Thank You

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s week going?  The weekend is approaching very quickly, hope you’re ready.

For today’s card I played with a bundle I played with last week, the Harvest Hellos Bundle.  Last week I made a card using the apple, this week I made the apple into a pumpkin.  This bundle is so cute.  All you have to do is turn the stem a different way and you have either an apple or a pumpkin.  Here’s my card.

I played along with CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #337.  Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a small Basic Black panel using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed strip to a panel of Monster Base Designer Series Paper using Snail.  I cut out the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies in Very Vanilla cardstock and sponged the edges with my Soft Suede Ink.  I cut a smaller circle out of the Monster Bash DSP using my Layering Circles Dies and adhered it to the stitched circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampn’ Dimensionals having it hang off the left edge.  I cut it even with the card front using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the card front to a Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Pumpkin Pie cardstock I stamped the pumpkin image from the Stampin’ Up Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie Ink.  I stamped the Jack-O-Lantern face from the Harvest Hellos stamp set on my pumpkin in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I punched the pumpkin out using my Apple Builder Punch.  I punched the stem out using the Apple Builder Punch from a scrap of Soft Suede cardstock.  I adhered the stem to the pumpkin using a Glue Dot.  I adhered the pumpkin to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Basic Black strip on the card front.

On the inside I stamped the pumpkin image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink to the center of a Very Vanilla panel stamping off once.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Big Thank You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink over the pumpkin image.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel 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 pumpkin image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the Jack-O-Lantern face from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink inside the pumpkin image.  I stamped the pumpkin stem from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on top of the pumpkin.  I adhered a panel of Monster Bash DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Just a reminder, the 2019 Holiday Catalog is now live and you can order this Harvest Hellos Bundle with a 10% discount.  Happy Stamping!!
