Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship 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. I actually have today off since I worked both Monday and Tuesday for the end and beginning of the month’s bills. I’m so used to having Tuesday’s off and working on Wednesday’s that I lose track of what day it is. I’m still trying to wrap my head around March being here already. Before you know it, Spring and Summer will be here, my favorite seasons of the year.

Before I get started, today is a very special day. It’s my little fur baby, Jasmine’s 14th birthday. She’s been my side kick for the last 13 3/4 years following me everywhere I go and always happy to see me, I can’t imagine life without her. The best part is she doesn’t talk back and no student loans to pay. Happy Birthday my sweet baby.

When we got her in May of 2008
One of her favorite places to lay down
She loves our new patio as much as us
Her new favorite spot now

It’s time for another inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo this week is Wearing O’ The Green.  Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the tree and colors in the photo for my card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #170.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing a Bumblebee card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the left side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front and a strip of Beauty of The Earth DSP over the panel towards the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the tree trunk image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the branches. I stamped the detail leaf image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink over the other leaf image. I stamped the splatter image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Bumblebee Ink around the tree image. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink next to the tree image. I adhered the artwork to a coordinating scalloped circle that I cut from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock using my Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the tree, leaf and splatter images from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set the same as I did for the card front on the bottom left of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree, leaf and splatter images from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth 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! Catch You Later Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends and Happy March!!! How is everyone doing today? I’m normally off today, but it’s the 1st of the month and that means I have statements to print and send out. The good thing is I have off tomorrow, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that I made for my little nephew who loves monkeys. His birthday was last week, he’s getting so big. Not sure where the time has gone. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Catch You Later Cling Stamp Set along with the In the Wild Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In the Wild DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat. I wrapped a piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of In the Wild DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the monkey image from the Catch You Later stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Hippo & Friends Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Catch You Later stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Catch You Later stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of In the Wild DSP on the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the In the Wild 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! Driving By Thanks

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend!! I hope you have something fun going on. I’m working both days and I don’t mind since I’ll be inside. Yesterday morning when I bought my fur baby out at 6am it was 65 degrees out. Throughout the day the temperature dropped, by 2pm it was 40, by 10pm it was down to 25 and at 5am this morning it was a whopping 18 degrees. I really prefer the 65 degrees.

Starting yesterday and for the next few days I will be featuring Sale-a-bration items since these are the last 10 days to earn them. I’m also using some of the 2020-2022 In-Colors that will be retiring soon. If these are colors that you really like, I’d stock up now on the cardstock, inks and embellishments before they are gone. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sala-a-bration Driving By Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the New Horizon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the New Horizon DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. I stamped the birds and tree images from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the card front

I cut a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP using my Basic Borders Dies and adhered it to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the buggy image from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the buggy in using my Basic Black, Cinnamon Cider and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the buggy using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set on a small panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the buggy image from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Basic Black, Cinnamon Cider and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous 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. Come back tomorrow to see which Sale-a-bration item I will be featuring. Maybe it’s one you still want to get. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail 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. Yesterday’s post I got a little mixed up on my days. When I have a day on the weekend off, I get a little confused of what day it is lol. I had yesterday off and was able to get a lot done between crafting, cleaning, laundry and paying bills. I’ve learned to love my days when I’m home alone. No one to be calling to me to look at this or help them with that. I can just do my thing and I get so much done.

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

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Gentle Waves Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and the sailboat on the top shelf in the photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #169.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the water image on a Basic Whtie panel from the Gentle Waves stamp set first in Balmy Blue and I move the stamp slightly and stamped again in Misty Moonlight, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Basic White Thick card base. I adhered the stamped panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight, Real Red and Sahara Sand Inks. I cut the panel for easy punching of the stamped images. I punched the images out using my Sailboat Builder Punch. I cut 2 clouds from the panel using my Waves Dies (available March 1). I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the panel and cut it apart using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the boat images to the stamped panel. I stamped the shadow image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set below each boat using Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Misty Moonlight sails using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Real Red Sails using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the clouds to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the cut-up sentiment to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the Gentle Waves stamp on the bottom of the panel in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the sailboat images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink, the sails in Real Red Ink and the shadow in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off once. I stamped the bird image in Smoky Slate Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Basic White thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front the same as I did for the inner liner of the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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 On The Horizon Fun Fold

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I have off tomorrow but have to work on Sunday.

Today’s card I was going to make on my Facebook Live Wednesday, but I wasn’t feeling well so I never went live. I’m hoping all is better next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Bundle along with the New Horizon 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding my Misty Moonlight card base as listed below. I took a panel of the New Horizons DSP and cut it down to 5 3/8″. I cut 15/16″ off the right and left side of the DSP. I stamped the grass image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on the 2 small panels. I adhered the 2 panels on the 2 side folds of the card base. I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set on the larger piece of DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink then adhered it in the center of the card base.

Using my Horizon Dies, I cut the 2 fence pieces out of a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 fences on each of the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 of the grass dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and adhered them in front of the fence pieces.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the side panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the panel I cut off the top of the DSP I stamped the bird image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. My husband wanted to do some extreme fussy cutting (as he called it) of the birds, so I cut a couple and so did he. I adhered the cut birds to the side panels with a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the grass image on the bottom of the panel in Garden Green Ink and the birds on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the envelope front with the grass image from the On The Horizon stamp set in Garden Green Ink and the birds in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of New Horizon 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Driving By Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I worked yesterday and I’m planning on staying in today. It’s cold here in NJ. I don’t mind it a little cold, but not when it makes my bones cold lol.

I played with one of the Sale-a-bration sets for my card today. It’s a set that I looked at when I first got the brochure and said “what am I going to do with that”. After playing a little with it, I like it, I have many other ideas I just have to get on a card now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Driving By Cling Stamp Set along with the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #675.

I started by adhering Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point panels of the Brights DSP to a Smoky Slate card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Light Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons in using my Wink of Stella brush and my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point stamp pads.

I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the card image. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nut About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink behind the card.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Driving By stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the car image from the Driving By stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the balloons the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap. I stamped just the balloons from the Driving By stamp set up the one side of the envelope and colored them the same as I did on the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet CAS

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and only 3 days till Christmas. I haven’t wrapped a thing, let alone shopped. My husband has done a lot of the shopping for us this year, I’m just not feeling up to it.

I have a quick fun card today using product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Every once in a while, I like to pull things out I haven’t played with in a bit. Here’s my card today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back on Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #272.

My colors are from Inspire. Create. Color Challenge #106.

I started by embossing a Very Vanilla card front using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of In Good Taste DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom. I immediately sprinkled it with my white embossing powder from the Embossing Powder Basics and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal. I colored a piece of White Bakers Twine using my Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends Marker. Once it was dry, I wrapped it around the layered panel and tied a small bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added a couple Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the turtle image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the sloth image from the Back on Your Feet stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake 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! Beauty of Friendship Hello Fun Fold Card

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Hope you are having a productive one.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our team meeting on Sunday. This card was designed by Mary Deatherage. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Beauty of Friendship Bundle along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by folding the Old Olive card base in half as a normal book fold card. I then folded the front panel back on the score line. I adhered the small section together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to Misty Moonlight mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 panels to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once, on the small Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Beautiful Trees Dies, I cut the large tree image from a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP and trimmed the bottom with my Paper Snips so that it would fit on the card front. I cut the solid tree top die from a panel of Old Olive cardstock. I cut the detailed treetop die from a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP. I cut the bird die from a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I first adhered the solid treetop to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree trunk die using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the detailed tree die on top using small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a small panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I threaded a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the tag and tied a small bow. I adhered the tag to the treetop using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bird to the tag using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Bumblebee Trinkets to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small tree trunk image on the side of the panel in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the small solid treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the detailed treetop image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once, around the tree. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set the same as I did for the card on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Beauty of The Earth DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card designed by Mary and will give it a try. This is another super simple fun fold card that can be used in many ways. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend!! Hope you have some fun plans. I’m working today, but tomorrow is my team meeting via zoom. I always look forward to my meetings. 1- I get to take the day off from both jobs and 2- I get to see a lot of my team members in person and always have a lot of fun ‘getting together’ with them.

I have a CAS card for you today that we made at my class on Tuesday night. I thought this would be a great way to show the ladies how to use some of our beautiful Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Cinnamon Cider card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Cinnamon Cider mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front.

On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies I adhered a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the top of the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, and cut the image out using my Beautiful Leaves Dies. I adhered the bird to the end of the sentiment using a Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, above the sentiment. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Seascape Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you’re doing something fun. I’ll be at the dog bakery today. Hopefully it will be a nice day and a lot of dogs will come in to visit and buy treats.

Today’s card my sons girl friend asked me to make. She needed a masculine birthday card with fish. Here’s what I came up with.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seascape Bundle along with the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper and the Diorama Dies.

I played along with TGIF Challenge #326.

I started by adhering a panel of the Expressions In Ink DSP to a Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the larger fish image from the Stampin’ Up! Seascapes Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink a couple times on the DSP panel.

I stamped the school fish image from the Seascapes stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the Shaded Spruce panel and Pear Pizzazz Ink on the Pear Pizzazz panel of cardstock. I cut the panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and the panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Layering Diorama Dies (cutting the shaded spruce with the larger one). I adhered the Shaded Spruce panel on top of the Pear Pizzazz panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper I cut the large fish image using the Sea Life Dies. I adhered the fish to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Gold Metallic Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the seaweed image again in Pear Pizzazz Ink over the Shaded Spruce image. I stamped the fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set on Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seaweed image from the Seascape stamp set in Shaded Spruce and Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the larger fish image from the Seascape stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Expressions In Ink DSP 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!!

July-December 2021 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on August 3 and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of August 9.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $25.00 plus $5.00 for 1st Class Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following new DSP packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Painted Christmas – 6
  • Whimsy & Wonder Specialty – 6
  • Sweet Stockings – 6
  • Peaceful Place Specialty – 6
  • Blackberry Beauty Specialty – 6
  • Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ – 8
  • Harvest Meadow – 6
  • Heartwarming Hugs – 6 (returning)
  • Kraft 6″ x 6″ – 2
  • Brushed Metallic – 3 (returning)
  • Red & Green Foil Sheets – 2 (returning)
  • Silver Foil Specialty Pack – 3 (one of each)
  • Snowy White Velvet Sheets – 1
  • Gold Shimmer Vellum – 1
  • Cork Specialty Paper – 1 ***please note that Cork paper will be approximately 6″ x 6″ as the sizes of the original papers may vary slightly.

In all, you’ll receive 75 – 6” x 6” sheets of new designer or speciality paper!

Double DSP Share – $50 + $7.75 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, that’s fine too.  I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Gingerbread & Peppermint, Cute Halloween and Kraft 6″ × 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

Anyone is welcome to join in my share (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  If you’d like to join, either complete the form below or email the following information to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com

  • Your first and last name
  • The email address that is connected to your PayPal account. I only accept PayPal for payment.  ***You do not need to have a PayPal account to pay the invoice, you can choose to pay by credit card without having a PayPal account.

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of some of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!

Deadline to sign up for my share is Sunday, August 1 at 5:00 PM ET.
