Stampin’ Up! Pastel Timeless Tulips CAS

Posted on April 13, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? I did enjoy my weekend off. It was nice not to have to get up and have to leave for work for a few days.

I have a Clean and Simple spring card for you today. I’m not sure if I want to use this for a Birthday or Mother’s Day, so I left the sentiment pretty open. Here’s today’s card.

My colors were inspired by CAS Colours & Sketch Challenge #365. These colors just said springtime to me as soon as I saw them. Here are their colors.

I joined in with Always Fun Challenges #158. Their theme is “CAS (clean and simple)”.

I started by stamping the stem image from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set 5 times on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the stems and a couple on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. The leave on the scrap cardstock I cut out using the Tulip Builder Punch.

I stamped the medium tulip image and the small tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on the stems in Highland Heather and Petal Pink Inks. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the punched out leaves to the stems using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the left side of the panel. I adhered the artwork to a Thick Whisper White card base using Snail.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the stem image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the bottom of the panel 4 times. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on either side of the stems. I stamped the medium and small tulip images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather and Petal Pink Inks on the stems. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set 3 times on the envelope front in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on the stems in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather and Petal Pink Inks on the stems. I adhered a panel of Perennial Essence 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! Perennial Floral Essence for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is here and Easter is on Sunday. I don’t know about you, but it’s not feeling like Easter this year to me. I can’t make my Easter Egg Bread because EVERY store is sold out of yeast. I didn’t make all my traditional Easter items since we can’t be in any large gatherings and that means no family coming over. I am thankful to be healthy though. My whole family has stayed healthy so far. It’s going to be a very small gathering Sunday so I have to downsize everything I make. Next Easter we’ll be back to normal.

For today’s Fun Fold I pulled out some items from the Annual Catalog. This card is perfect if you have a lot of Designer Paper that you want to used up. I used one of the 2018-2020 In-Colors which will be going away in June. If you are liking any of these In-Colors, you best to grab them while you can. Here’s my card for today.

I started with an 12 X 5 1/2″ panel of Blueberry Bushel cardstock which I scored and folded at 2 1/4″, 5″ and 7 3/4″.

I adhered 4 panels of Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper to Balmy Blue mats using Snail. I adhered the matted panels to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. You will be able to see better where they are all adhered in a photo below.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the fern leaf image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Old Olive Ink, below the sentiment.

I stamped the large flower image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and colored it in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the flower out using my Paper Snips. I stamped the leaf image from the Floral Essence stamp set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Old Olive Ink twice and punched them out using the Leaf Punch. I adhered the flower to the bottom of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves under the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added a Perennial Essence Floral Center to the flower.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Floral Essence stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the center panel using Snail.

For the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf images from the Floral Essence stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the flower. I stamped the flower center from the Floral Essence stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the large flower image from the Floral Essence stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and colored it in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf images from the Floral Essence stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the flower. I stamped the flower center from the Floral Essence stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink in the center of the flower. I adhered a panel of Perennial Essence 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 2018-2020 In-Colors Cardstock, 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stamp Pads, Ink Refills, Stampin’ Write Markers, Ribbon and Buttons will all be retiring at the end of May. If you are loving any or all of these colors, now it the time to get them before they are gone for good. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s weekend been so far? I had to work yesterday, which was supposed to be a partial day ended up being all day. So much for people having to stay home. It was just a crazy busy day. I’m home today and hoping to finish up some of my spring cleaning.

Today’s card can be used for a lot of different occasions. I left the sentiment pretty general so I can use it for whatever I need. Here’s today’s card.

My design today is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #429. Here is their sketch.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #587. Here is their color pallet.

I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Snail. Using my Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut 3 circles, one in Mint Macaron, one in Rococo Rose and one in Smoky Slate. I embossed the circles using my Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the circles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue overlapping the DSP halfway.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the matching Cherry Blossoms Dies. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the floral image to the card front on top of the circles.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink to the left of the artwork. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower, leaves and flower bud images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the panel. I colored the images in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Snail 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 flower, leaves and flower bud images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 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! Poppy Moments Mother’s Day

Posted on April 4, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? I have to work a partial day today, but I have tomorrow off. I’m hoping to finish up my spring cleaning, get some windows washed and new curtains hung.

For today’s card I used the Poppy Moments Dies combined with the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin. Here’s my card.

I started by cutting out all the pieces I needed. I cut 4 of the longer leaves die from the Poppy Moments Dies by cutting 2 each in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock, the fronts and backs. I adhered the pieces together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also cut 2 of the smaller leaf dies from the Poppy Moments Dies, 1 each in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock, fronts and backs. I adhered them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut all the outline flower dies from the Poppy Moments Dies in Basic Black cardstock. I cut 2 smaller poppy dies from the Poppy Moments Dies in Flirty Flamingo and Vellum cardstock. I cut one of the larger poppy die from the Poppy Moments Dies in Poppy Parade and Vellum. I cut all the flower centers from the Poppy Moments Dies from a Black Foil Sheet. I adhered the Basic Black out line dies to the Vellum die cuts, only in the center using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the smaller poppies to the Flirty Flamingo dies and the larger poppy to the Poppy Parade die, only in the center using Multipurpose Liquid Glue I adhered the flower centers using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I adhered a panel of Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to the inside front of one of the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only along the edge of the paper. I arranged the flowers and leaves the way I thought I would like them using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

I added a few Noble Peacock Rhinestones to the card front.

You can see when you open the card you see the reverse side of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP. On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the poppy images from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom corner of the panel using the masking technique. I stamped the leaf images from the Painted Poppies stamp set around the flowers in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated an envelope which came in the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin. I stamped the poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Pressed Petals Specialty 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! Dressed To Impress for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on March 27, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? How are you all doing with Social Distancing? I’m actually going to work today. The store has re-opened, but they are limiting the number of people they are letting in. They also put up a plastic sheeting barrier for the cashiers at the register. We’re not open the full hours, but at least customers can run in to get what they absolutely have to.

For today I have this really cute fun fold. Once again, I see myself making this one often. Here’s today’s card.

My colors were inspired by Global Design Project Challenge #233. Here are their colors.

I started by adhering a panel of Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Pool Party card base using Snail. I cut the center of the card base using the 2nd largest Stitched So Sweetly Die and set it aside.

I wrapped a piece of Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the perfume bottle from the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image in using my Petal Pink and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I brushed the bottle with Clear Wink of Stella to give it a little shimmer. I stamped the sentiment from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink above the perfume bottle. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest Stitched So Sweetly Die. I adhered the artwork to the Pool Party cardstock die that I cut from the card base. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

The inner liner is part of the fun fold. Score the 8″ X 5 1/4″ card base at 2″ and 4″ and fold like a Z-Fold card. Have the Z-Fold open out to the right, which is the opposite of a normal Z-Fold card. I stamped the perfume bottle from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the larger section of the Whisper White card base in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom left. I stamped the flower images from the Dressed To Impress stamp set by the perfume bottle and on the corners of the folds. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink, Pool Party and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in the center of the larger section of the Whisper White card base. I adhered the Whisper White card base to a So Saffron mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Close the card and add Snail to the small fold through the opening on the card front. Adhere the matted artwork through the card front opening, which should fit perfectly since it was originally cut from there.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the perfume bottle and a couple of the flowers from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink, Pool Party and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Parisian Blossoms Specialty 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! Ornate Tea Together for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week we had a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
Here is the sketch we had to work from.

Here’s my card using this weeks sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to an Early Espresso mat using Snail. I added a strip of Blushing Bride cardstock to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Mint Macaron 1/8″ Sheer Linen Ribbon around the Blushing Bride strip and tied a small bow. I adhered the card front to a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I embossed a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I swiped my Mint Macaron stamp pad across the panel to highlight the raised parts. I adhered the embossed panel to an Early Espresso mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tea cup image from the Stampin’ Up! Tea Together Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image out using my Tea Time Dies. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of the tea cup. I colored the tea cup using my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Markers and the flower image in using my Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the tea cup to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Early Espresso Ink I cut the image out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The sentiment fits perfectly with the smallest die.

I adhered the sentiment to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel in the center of the flower on the tea cup.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tea cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Early Espresso mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink inside the tea cup. I adhered a panel of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Mother’s Day Card

Posted on March 23, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Is everyone holding out ok with the social distancing? Is anyone able to work from home? Unfortunately both my jobs outside the house I can not work from home, so I’m taking all precautions necessary.

I have another card today using the Ornate Style Suite. Take a look.

My colors were inspired by Color Throwdown Challenge #585. Here are their colors.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #117. Their theme is ‘Spring Flowers’.

I started by stamping the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I colored only part of the image in using my Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I brushed the Calypso Coral flowers using my Clear Wink of Stella to give it a little shimmer.

I cut a Pretty Peacock frame using my Ornate Layers Dies and cut the center out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Calypso Coral card base using Snail and the frame on top of the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Classic Label Punch and adhered it to the frame using Glue Dots. I added a few Gilded Gems to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the flower cluster image from the Ornate Style stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in all 4 corners of the panel. I colored just the leaves in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty Peacock mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the large floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelops flap. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock 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! Strong and Beautiful Wild Rose CAS Card

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone doing today with your social distancing? Hope your weekend is starting off well and you are able to keep busy. I’ve finally had extra time to spend at my craft table and I’ve been thrilled. I know I don’t usually blog on the weekends, but I thought I’d start since we all have a little extra time lately.

I have a Clean and Simple card for you today. Take a look.

My colors were inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #362. Here are their colors.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #427. Here is their sketch.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the strip to a Basic Black mat using Snail and then to a So Saffron card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the outlined rose image from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the 2nd part of the rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink over the outlined image. I stamped the 3rd part of the rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once, over the stamped image. I cut the rose out using my Wild Rose Dies. I adhered the rose to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the 2nd rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set over the outlined image in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the 3rd image from To A Wild Rose stamp set over the stamped image in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a So Saffron mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I finished my card by decorating a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the outlined rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope and on the envelope flap. I stamped the 2nd rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set over the outlined image in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the 3rd rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink over the stamped images, stamping off once.

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

Stampin’ Up Blue Wild Rose for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on January 10, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is upon us, have you made any plans yet? Today we’re off to Epcot after a quick stop at Hollywood Studios again. The new Star Wars – Rise of the Resistance ride broke right when we got on yesterday (after waiting 9 hours for our que and over an hour on line). We were rushed on to a ship, flown into space and taken by the Storm Troopers and it broke 😦 They gave us a ticket to go back to Hollywood Studios today and Fast Pass to go back on that ride. I thought it was going to be a laid back day walking around Epcot, but plans have changed. I’m sure I’ll be getting another 10 miles+ of walking in again. My son wants to bring my daughter drinking around the world at Epcot, guess I’m going to be the designated one to get everyone back to the hotel safely. My daughter turned 21 last May and does not drink, this should be interesting. I know we have Mission Space and Test Track on the agenda at Epcot for today. My husband hasn’t mentioned Soaring yet. That one got me a little nauseous last time we were here. We’ll see what happens, just give me the Dramamine.

I have another new to me Overlay Fun Fold for you today using the beautiful Stampin’ Up To A Wild Rose Bundle. I saw this card done by Lisa Curcio and thought I would CASE it. Here’s my card.

I started by scoring and folding a Seaside Spray card base. The card base is 5 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ You need to score it so that you have a 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ card base. I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the 4″ X 4″ Seaside Spray panel under the fold of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, lining up the bottom edges. I adhered the embossed Crumb Cake panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a 5″ X 4 1/2″ panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the outlined rose image once and the outlined leaf image3 times from the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the rose image in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leaf images in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Wild Rose Dies.

I adhered the rose to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the rose using Glue Dots. I wrapped a piece of Seaside Spray 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the top of the card front and tied a square knot. I’m not sure if I am going to use this card for Birthday, Mother’s Day, or any other occasion, so I didn’t put a sentiment on the front panel yet. Once I decide I will stamp and punch a sentiment and adhere it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the outlined rose image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink, stamping off once, to the center of a Shimmery White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the rose image. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the outlined rose image from the To A Wild Rose stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the fill image from To A Wild Rose stamp set over the outlined image in Seaside Spray Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail fill image from To A Wild Rose stamp set in Seaside Spray Ink over the other image. I adhered a panel of the Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In-Color Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my fun fold card and will give it a try. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. we’ll be spending it at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios again. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Tea Together

Posted on May 7, 2019 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has your week started off?

I have 1 last Mother’s Day card for you today. Here’s my card.

I played along with the Stampin’ Up Only Challenge #222. Their theme was “Celebration”. I thought Mother’s Day fit in perfectly.

I also played along with Always Fun Challenge #109. Their theme was “Female or Mom”.

I started with a Soft Sea Foam card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (available June 4th). I adhered the embossed card front to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Teapot and Tea Cup images from the Stampin’ Up Tea Together Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the large rose image on the teapot and the rosebud image on the teacup from the same stamp set. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Tea Time Framelits Dies (available June 4th). I cut an oval out from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies from Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the oval. I cut out a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies in Daffodil Delight cardstock as mat to my stitched oval.

I adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Teapot and the Tea Cup to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels which I colored with my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Marker to the stitched oval.

On the inside I did something a little different. I made a frame using my Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies in Daffodil Delight cardstock. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tea-cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink stamping off once. I stamped the rosebuds from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink also stamping off once. I colored the image in using my light Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the tea-cup. I adhered the Whisper White panel under the stitched frame using Snail and adhered the framed image to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tea-cup image from the Tea Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the rosebuds from the same stamp set on the tea-cup and I stamped the large rose image on the envelope flap. I colored everything in the same as I did for the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! has posted their retiring lists for the 2018-19 Annual Catalog and 2019 Occasions Catalog. Head over to my online store to pick up those retiring items now! They’re only available while supplies last from now through June 3!

A few notes about the lists:

Due to high demand for retiring stamp sets, these items will have guaranteed availability until May 24; all other products are not guaranteed and are available while supplies last only.
Order deadline to get the retiring products: June 3, 2019; 11:50 PM (MT)

Please note, some of the bundle items may be carrying over into the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. However, the bundle pricing will go away, so get them while you can at the discounted price!!

Stampin’ Up! Retirement List Clarification

It looks like every single stamp set from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog is being retired and that isn’t the case, the carryover sets are being transitioned to Cling Mount.

The stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first).

If the inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog! All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.

You can download copies of the full retiring lists in PDF Form here:
