Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Paneled Christmas

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week has started out good. Stampin’ Up! has added some additional items that you can earn for FREE with orders beginning at $50 during Sale-a-bration!  You can see the new items Here.

Today’s card is similar to one I did a while back at our monthly mystery stamping. One of the ladies that comes to my Stamp Camp Card Class asked if we could make that card, but since I’m doing a Christmas in July theme, I adjusted it to that. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 1 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 2 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Garden Green card base. I stamped the pine boughs images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam on 3 panels of Basic White cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 3 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I embossed the 3 panels using my Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panels to Garden Green mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 3 layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Panel 4 creativestampiungdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I threaded a piece of Garden Green ribbon from the Real Red and Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack through the ends of the die cut sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green Ink first full strength, then again without reinking and the smaller image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

I stamped the smaller pine bough image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink below the larger pine bough image. I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Snow Crystal Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’m off tomorrow and Sunday is the last of the month, so I have to go into the office. The good thing about the last of the month being on a Sunday, I can go in whenever I want, get my work done and go home. Plus, since no one is usually in the office on the weekend, I get to put my own music on or watch my team members videos while I work.

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. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink and set it aside to dry.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snow Crystal stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool. I fussy cut the snowflake using my Paper Snips. I adhered the snowflake to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on one half of the snowflake.

Stampin' Up! Snow Crystal Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the larger die from the Frosted Flurry Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the snowflake using Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Snow Crystal Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I adhered the larger panel of Silver & Gold DSP to a Pacific Point mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Fun for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I’m supposed to be starting and finishing my baking this weekend. As most of you know, it’s been a pretty long 3-4 weeks of me being sick. I’m hoping to feel up to getting my baking done or I may have a lot of disappointed people that wait for my cookies.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Christmas Tree, Decorations of Favorite Card.  I decided to use my favorite card that I’ve made this past year. My card is one that I made back in October at our team Mystery Stamping. My upline Jaimie started doing a Mystery Stamping night once a month with our team. She gives us the measurements of cardstock and DSP. We have to pick the colors, image(s), sentiment and DSP we want to use. This was one of my favorite Christmas cards that I made so I decided to share it again. I just love all the images of this stamp set, but especially this one.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is stampinupseasonsoffunchristmas1creativestampingdesigns-1.jpg

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season’s of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our Challenge HOL21. How are you inspired by this photo? Share your tree, holiday decorations or your favorite card from this past year.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is stampinupseasonsoffunchristmas2creativestampingdesigns-1.jpg

I started by embossing a Soft Succulent card front using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. This is a small embossing folder, so I had to emboss one side of the cardstock, then move the paper over and emboss the other side. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is stampinupseasonsoffunchristmas3creativestampingdesigns-1.jpg

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Evening Evergreen, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the images using my Paper Snips. I adhered another panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the fussy cut images to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. In the layout that Jaimie was telling us to do, we were suppose to adhered the image to the top of the layered panel, mine just wasn’t going to work that way so I had to switch it around.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is stampinupseasonsoffunchristmas4creativestampingdesigns-1.jpg

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the Basic White panel and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it toe the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is stampinupseasonsoffunchristmas5creativestampingdesigns-1.jpg

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored the images in the same as I did for the card front. I stamped the snowflake image from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink around the girl and dog images, stamping off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the little girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Sorry I missed another live this week. I’m really hoping to be back soon. I miss everyone. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all weekend, but taking it really easy (I hope).

So I thought I was done making all my Christmas cards, then my husband said “I need 2 cards for the bosses at work”, UGH! So here’s what I came up with for 1 of them. I’m really hoping he can pick one of my already made cards for the other one.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Sunday Stamps Color Challenge #271.

Today’s is a really simple fun fold we made a similar card at our team meeting this past Sunday. I scored and folded a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered it to the right inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Tear & Tape.

I started by adhering a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to the front panel of the Soft Succulent card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the snowman image from the Snowbody Better stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed is using my Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the Cherry Cobbler panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Decorative Matte Dots to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! From All Of Us Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the left side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set below the 1st sentiment in Evening Evergreen Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP to the right side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base, over the Cherry Cobbler panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the envelope front 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes 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. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes Bundle along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our theme for this week.

I played along with The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #569

I also joined in with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #330.

I started by adhering 2 panels of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP to a Basic White card front.

I embossed a panel of Silver foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered one of the Wonderful Snowflakes to the center of the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the scroll image from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink below the sentiment. Using my Stitched Snowflakes Dies, I cut the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the scroll image from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a strip of the Whimsy & Wonder 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! Peaceful Cabin Seasonal Wreath for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. I hope you are starting to make some plans.

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Peace On Earth.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin ClingStamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Bundle for my Clean and Simple card. I was inspired by the gorgeous wreath in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our Challenge #165. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of an In Good Taste Designer Series Paper card front. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base.

Using my Seasonal Swirls Dies, I cut 2 of the wreaths out, 1 in Evening Evergreen and 1 in Soft Succulent. On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock I stamped the small pinecone image from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkle of The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times. I cut the images out using my Seasonal Swirls Dies. I cut 3 sets of holly from a panel of Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Paper and multiple berries from a scrap of Real Red cardstock. I adhered the pinecones, holly and berries to the wreaths using Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a bow using the Real Red 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the wreath using a Glue Dot leaving long tails. I twisted the tails of the bow and tacked them in a couple places using Glue Dots. I added a few Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the pine boughs image from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set above and below the sentiment in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the pinecones and holly & berries I had cut to the boughs. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine boughs image from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink above and below where I’d be writing the address on the envelope front and on 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! Peaceful Cabin CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the last day of November!! One more month in 2021, hope it’s a good one. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you have a productive one ahead.

I have a very Quick and Easy, Clean and Simple card for you today. For those who haven’t even started your holiday cards yet, today’s is one you can make a whole bunch in no time flat. You just let the DSP do all the work for you like I did. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I played along with the CAS On Friday Challenge #219. There theme is Winter.

Cards go together so quick and easy when you let the DSP do all the work for you. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the panel and immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder. I set it using my Heat Tool.

I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and my card is done.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio of trees from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio of trees from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place 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!!
