Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees CAS for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning stamping friends and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, 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 Theme Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder, Peaceful Season Dies and Online Exclusive Brushed Silver and Gold Specialty Paper (which will be available November 5th) for my super simple card today. This is another one of those cards that you can make a lot of in a short amount of time.

This is our theme for this week.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Trees EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Brushed Gold Foil Paper Mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Trees CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Merriest Trees stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Peaceful Season Dies. Thread a piece of Night of Navy & gold 1/2″ Glittered Ribbon through the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. Wrap the ribbon behind the layered panel and secure with Stampin’ Seal.

Adhere the layered panel to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, 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 Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Seasons Bundle along with the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by adhering 2 strips of Snowy Scene DSP to either side of a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal/. Adhere the layered panel to the card front, between the 2 strips of DSP, using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink. The banner die from the Peaceful Season Dies wasn’t long enough for the sentiment so it needs to be extended a bit. Place the die on top of the sentiment where you want it on the left side. Run the die and paper through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine but only partway through. Lift the die and moved it to where you wanted it on the right side of the sentiment making sure to line up the edges that were already cut, turned the paper around and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine again partway through. This will extend the banner to fit the sentiment. Adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Dots For Days to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, stamp the sentiments from the Peaceful Season stamp set in garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Snowy Scenes DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Garden Green mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season Home 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. By the time you read this my family, and I will just about be landing in Orlando FL for our Disney vacation. I have my laptop and phone with me so, I will be checking emails regularly. I just might take a little longer to answer since I will be going to all the parks and to Universal Studios all week long.

To start my vacation, I have a super simple card for you. This is another one you can make duplicate holiday cards in no time at all. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Friends Owl

Good afternoon stamping friends. How are you all doing today? October is here and it’s starting to feel and look like it here in NJ. It’s been in the upper 60’s to low 70’s and the leaves are all starting to change.

For today’s card I played with a fun bundle from the mini catalog. I love cute cards especially at Christmas.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Friends Bundle along with the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the owl image from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Friends Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. Color the image using Poppy Parade and gray Granite Stampin’ blends Markers. Cut the owl and the circle using the Christmas Friends Dies. Stamp the tree image from the Christmas Friends stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the circle. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the circle to a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP using Liquid Glue letting the circle hang off the edge. Trim the circle to the DSP using Paper Snips. Adhere the layered panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Soft Sea Foam, cut the 2 bough dies from the Christmas Friends Dies. Using a Small Blending Brush, add some Soft Sea Foam Ink to the larger bough. Adhere the larger bough to the top of the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the smaller bough on top of the larger one using Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Petal Pink, stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Friends stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the largest banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. From the panel of Petal Pink cut the bow die from the Christmas Friends Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the bow to the center of the boughs using a Glue Dot. Add Adhesive-Back Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Friends stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the tree image from the Christmas Friends stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends Owl 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the owl image from the Christmas Friends stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Poppy Parade and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the tree image in Garden Green Ink next to the owl. Adhere a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP to the envelope flap

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Joy Fold

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous one here in NJ. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday and as I was driving up to Amy’s house, I noticed some of the trees here are starting to turn. They are still mostly green with just a touch of yellow, orange and red. Fall will be here before we know it.

Today’s card is one that we made at our meeting yesterday. This card was designed and presented by one of my team members Akiko Sudano. It’s such a pretty card and one that can be duplicated easily. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Joy Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com
