Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s supposed to rain here today, at least that’s the last I heard. I’ll be at work all day, so we’ll see what the day brings.

For today’s card I played with the same 2 sets I played with last week. When I won this set at OnStage, I wasn’t sure if I would even use it. Once I paired it up with the sentiment set, ideas were coming to me. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Blooming Phrases Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Along These Lines Photopolymer Stamp Set, Nested Essentials Dies and On The Go Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Basic White with the largest Nested Essentials Die. Stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink center left of the panel. Stamp the dog image from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment connecting the lines.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Outline the dog image using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Strawberry Slush Gem to the image.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the heart image from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, connecting the lines, next to the sentiment. Color the heart with Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the dog and heart images from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front, being sure to connect the lines. Color the images with Crumb Cake and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of On The Go DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. We had such a beautiful breezy day here yesterday. Little to no humidity, 70’s, sunny and a little breezy. Those are the kind of days I’d love to bottle up and save.

Today’s card I played with some Online Exclusive products again. I positive this is my absolute favorite pack of DSP. I just can’t get enough of it, good thing I have 2 packs.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Labels Florals 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Mixed Labels Bundle along with the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, Fancy Borders Dies and Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Adhere the layered panel to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Strawberry Slush Gem in the center of the hearts on the bottom of the panel.

Adhere a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/4″ Ribbon from the Misty Moonlight & White 1/4″ Starter Ribbon Pack. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on by

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends 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 Christie’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “For the Ladies/Girls”. We can interpret this however we want. I thought I’d use some new products coming May 6th and feature the Hyacinth’s since they are all blooming right now. I love how pretty Hyacinth’s are, but the smell makes my nose itchy, so I stay a safe distance and just admire them. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Pretty Florals Panels 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin’ Up! Fields in Bloom Hello

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning stamping friends. HAPPY MARCH!!! I hope you are making some fun plans for the weekend or maybe even just planning on staying in and relaxing. Whatever you are planning, enjoy it! I’m at work already doing my first of the month bills. I came in extra early so that I’ll get finished early and can enjoy the rest of my day, since I do have to work tomorrow.

I pulled out a couple stamp sets from the annual catalog for today’s card. I need to start using them more, since some of them will most likely be retiring in April.  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! Fields In Bloom Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fields in Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set and Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors for today’s card come from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #457.

Stampin' Up! Fields In Bloom Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Start by stamping the leaf image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the flower image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the leaf image. Stamp the cloud image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the panel of Basic White. Stamp the hummingbird image in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stampin' Up! Fields In Bloom Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the smallest Perennial Postage Die. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon and adhere it using a Glue Dot. Add a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fields In Bloom Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Simply Said stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the cloud image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Summer Splash Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top of the Basic White panel. Stamp the single stem image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the single flower image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the stems and the hummingbird in Tuxedo Black Ink. Adhere the basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the inside of the Summer Splash card base.

Stampin' Up! Fields In Bloom Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the single stem image from the Fields in Bloom stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope in Lemon Lime Twist Ink.

Good Thursday morning stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive You Are Remarkable Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set and Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #827.

Stamp the leaf and stem solid image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink over the outlined image. Stamp the splatter image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the flower image.
