Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season CAS

Posted on by
8

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready to tackle another week? I can’t believe we’re through another month already. I’m running out of time to finish my Christmas cards. I’m hoping to get them in the mail by the weekend.

I have another Clean and Simple card for you today. Once again I only used Stamp, Ink and Paper, no embellishments this time just a mat. This is another perfect card if you are a beginner stamper. I used 1 color ink and just a few Stampin’ Blends Markers. I pulled out a set from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #398. Here is their sketch.

I started with a Whisper White card front and stamped all my images from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. First I stamped the snowman in the center of the panel. Next I stamped the branch arm images on either side of the snowman image. Last, I stamped the hat image on both ends. I stamped the sentiment from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink below the snowman.

I colored both hats using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the snowman’s carrot nose using my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker.

I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowman image, branch arms and hat images from the Snowman Season stamp set all in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the branch arms and hat from the Snowman Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the snowman, branch arms and hat images from the Snowman Season stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the images in using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.

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

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly CAS

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? I spent Friday and Saturday decorating and I still have a long way to go. My husband did get the whole outside done. This is the first time in years that he didn’t decorated on the coldest day of the season. I’ll be working all day today. Even though I had off yesterday, they asked me to come in to relieve the cashiers so they could take a lunch break.

For today I have a clean and simple card using just the basics, Stamp, Ink & Paper. I did sneak in a couple rhinestones too. I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. This is a perfect card if you are a beginner stamper. Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by The Color Throwdown Challenge #621. Here are their colors.

I started by stamping the outline image of the holly from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a Whisper White card front. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamped off once, over the outline image. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Granny Apple Green in the center of the Whisper White card front. I adhered the card front to a Silver Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the matted card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Coastal Cabana Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the holly images from the Joyful Holly stamp set the same as I did for the card front on the top and bottom corners of the panel. I adhered the Whiter White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the holly images from the Joyful Holly stamp set on the envelope front and flap the same as I did for the card front.

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

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals For Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you ended up in a food coma after eating your dinner? We had a very nice quiet one here. Once everything was done, I started pulling some boxes out of the attic of our Christmas decorations. It’s been a tradition for years that the weekend after Thanksgiving Christmas explodes in my house. The past couple years it’s taken more that just the weekend to decorate with my work schedule. This year I have the advantage that I don’t have to undecorate and clean before decorating since we just cleaned and put all our furniture back in our house. I’ll see how much I get done between today and tomorrow.

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. Here’s my card that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Bundle for today’s Fun Fold Card.

I started by adhering a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the Petal Pink card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front just under the 1″ top of the card base using Tear & Tape.

On a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the medium poinsettia layered image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set on the Shimmer White cardstock twice in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the poinsettia image in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the color so that it had a very light color. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Poinsettia Dies. I snipped the leaves apart using my Paper Snips. I adhered the leaves under the flower image using Glue Dots.

I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the top of the card front and tied a knot. On a strip of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flower to the right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Beaded Pearl embellishment to the flower center using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Petals stamp set in the center of a panel of Shimmery White cardstock in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set over the sentiment in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to the inside of the Petal Pink card base in the center of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flower in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I masked the flower and stamped the leaves from the medium layered poinsettia from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place 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 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! Buffalo Peaceful Boughs for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Happy Thanksgiving my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  I hope everyone has a nice day planned. I just wanted to say how Thankful I am for all of you and how if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be doing what I do. 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 awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Check Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set for my card today. Here’s my card using this sketch.

I played along with The Card Concept Challenge #144. Here is their inspiration photo.

I started by stamping a Cherry Cobbler card front using the Buffalo Check stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Using the Beautiful Boughs Dies again, I cut 1 medium and 2 small boughs from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, 3 small boughs from a panel of Old Olive cardstock 3 small solid pinecones from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and 3 small detailed pinecones from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock.

I adhered the Mossy Meadow boughs to a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Old Olive boughs on top of the Mossy Meadow boughs using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment on top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid ones using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered 1 to the top of the boughs using a Glue Dot and 2 on the bottom of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I made a small bow using the 1/8″ Gold Trim/Old Olive Ribbon from the All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped 2 pinecones from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the pinecone image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs.

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! Joyful Holly CAS

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through already. Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow? I’ll be making all my pies and pumpkin cheese cake tonight. We’re having a very small gathering tomorrow, just my family and my son’s girlfriend. Hopefully next year our gatherings can be back to normal.

For today’s card I kept it pretty clean and simple. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #244. Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a Garden Green card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the holly image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink twice. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed it using my Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink and cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper using my Stitched Rectangle Dies, 2 sizes larger than the artwork. I adhered the artwork to the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the holly images from the Joyful Holly stamp set on two of the corners in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the holly image from the Joyful Holly stamp set on the envelope front in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the holly fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the berry fill image from the Joyful Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The 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! Nothing’s Better Than Warm Hugs

Posted on by
12

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. Hope your weekend is starting off great. I was finally able to sleep in my own bed last night and we are now able to walk on our floors. They came out gorgeous. I can’t wait to put furniture back and pictures back on the walls to make it nice and homey again.

For today’s card I combined a couple stamp sets to make another non-traditional colored Christmas card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up Nothing’s Better Thank Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set. My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #397. Here are their colors.

I also played along with Global Design Project #267. Here is their theme.

I started by adhering a panel of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Curvy Dies twice. The Curvy Dies are available as part of a bundle with the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set. There are no measurements for how I cut the curves, I just cut them the way I liked them.

On each of the cut pieces I stamped the sentiments from the Warm Hugs stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. On a panel of Purple Posy cardstock I stamped the cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink 6 times. I cut the images out using the Love You More Than Dies. I colored the insides of the cup and saucer using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers.

On the top Whisper White panel, I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I adhered the cups to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered both Whisper White panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals trying to keep the same amount on the top and bottom.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Warm Hugs stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink 3 times along the bottom of the panel. I adhered 3 more of the cups that I stamped, colored and cut from the Purple Posy cardstock along the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Purple Posy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cup image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Basic Gray Ink above the cups. I colored the cups using my Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers and the insides of the cup and saucer using my Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Peony 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Plaid Gnome For The Holidays for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
10

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well.  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 awesome projects.
Here are our colors for this week.

Here’s my card using these colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set for today’s card. Can you tell this is my favorite set in the catalog? My design is from TGIF Challenge #290. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the gnome image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I masked the gnome image with a Post-It Note and stamped the tree house image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set behind the gnome in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. To do the masking, you stamp an image on a Post-It Note and fussy cut it using your Paper Snips. You place the cut image over the stamped image and stamp the next image you want and it will appear to be behind the 1st image. I colored the images in using my Bronze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. One of the colors in the color challenge is Garden Green, but they haven’t made a Garden Green Blends Marker yet, so I used Just Jade. I cut the image out using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Dies from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. On the back of the matted artwork I added some of the Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack using Glue Dots then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment over the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Christmas Tree. On the ornaments/lights that I didn’t add rhinestones and the star I used Clear Wink of Stella.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped another one of the gnome images from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered thin strips of the ‘Tis The Season DSP on the bottom and top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the 2 gnome images from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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.

Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Christmas

Posted on by
18

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Happy midweek! We’re on the down hill to the weekend already. Yesterday was one very loud day at my house. I knew it was going to be loud, I just didn’t know how loud. On the bright side, my floors are starting to look amazing. They were able to sand the stains out with no problems. We have 3 more days of staying off them, then we can walk with socks only.

I have a Christmas card for you today using non-traditional colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Bundle for my card along with the Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. My Colors were inspired by As You Like It Challenge #238. Here are their colors.

My design is from Fab Friday Challenge #201. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #352. Here is their theme.

I started by embossing a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Plaid Tidings DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the hat and scarf in using my Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snow Time Dies. Using the Snow Time Dies I embossed the top of a Basic Gray panel with the snow flake die. I adhered the snowman image to the Basic Gray panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a small Whisper White panel and cut it out using the Snow Time Dies.

I stamped a small panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the panel behind the Basic Gray panel using Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the top of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the snowman. I adhered a panel 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! Perfectly Plaid Christmas CAS

Posted on by
4

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? By the time you read this my house will be full of workers and lots of noise being made. I wasn’t expecting them to come this early today, but I guess they want to get a jump on things. Last night we were running around getting the last of anything left around put away and we had to pack our suitcases and laptops to be out of the way first thing. I have my bag packed up with my Paper Pumpkin kits to work on in the hotel room at night. My kitchen is now full of furniture along with the POD outside and we borrowed my neighbors garage too. I’m sure it will all be worth it in the end, but after working later than usual yesterday and coming home and finding out how early they were showing up I’m ready for a nap already. The good news it I will have all brand new floors for the holidays.

With that being said, I have a really quick and easy card for you today. I couldn’t fuss too much with this one. Here’s my card.

I let the Feels Like Frost 6 X 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper do most of the work for me along with the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid Photopolymer Stamp Set.

I started by adhering a panel of the Feels Like Frost DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and embossed it using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.

I wrapped a piece of the 1/4″ Snowflake Splendor Ribbon around the card front, adhering it in the back with some Stampin’ Seal, then adhering it to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel, some stamped in full strength and some stamped off once. I adhered a strip of the Feels Like Frost DSP to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Purple Posy 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 Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front, some stamped full strength and some stamped off. I adhered a panel of the Feels Like Frost DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my quick and easy card and will give it a try. This Feels Like Frost DSP has beautiful life like images that do all the work. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In The Pines for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
14

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well.  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.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here is my card using this sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Bundle for today’s card. I played along with the Double ‘D’ Challenge. Their theme is Pine Trees and/or Pine Cones. Here is their Mood Board.

I started by adhering a panel of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped 2 of the largest tree and the group of 4 tree outlines from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the fill images for the same trees in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the tall tree outline from In The Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Whisper White panel and the fill image for the same tree in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamped off once. I cut all the trees out using my Pine Woods Dies.

I took another panel of Whisper White cardstock and using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut the 2 snow curve images starting from the bottom. On the remaining cut piece I stamped the group of 4 tree outlines from the In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink, some stamped full and some stamped off, across the panel. I randomly stamped the snow dots image from In The Pines stamp set on the top of the panel in Pool Party Ink, stamped off once. I stamped all over the top of the panel with the same stamp in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the 2 curves to the stamped piece, adhering the 1st one with Glue Dots just on the ends and the top one using Stamping Dimensionals. I lined these up on my Grid Paper so that it measured 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. I stamped the snow drift image from the In The Pines stamp set, where I was going to be placing the die cut trees, in Pool Party Ink on the front panel. I adhered the die cut trees on the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, some behind the drifts and some in front.

On a strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock I stamped the sentiment from In The Pines stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the artwork panel. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wrapped In Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the group of 4 trees outline stamp from In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink across the bottom of the panel stamped in full strength, then stamped again without re-inking. I stamped the snow drift image from In The Pines stamp set below the trees in Pool Party Ink. Using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut the bottom of the panel using the smallest curve die. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small 4 tree outline image from In The Pines stamp set on the envelope front stamped full strength then again without re-inking. I also stamped the single small tree outline image from In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink stamped full strength and again without re-inking. I stamped the snowdrift image from In The Pines stamp set in Pool Party Ink below the trees. I adhered a panel of Heartwarming Hugs 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.
