Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips Orange

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? Yesterday was our quarterly team meeting where we did some stamping together. The presenters did an amazing job making the cards and demoing how to make them.

My card for today is one that Judi Hartbarger designed and demonstrated for us. Judi is from Tennessee and has become a good friend of mine. After she was done creating this beautiful card with us, she showed us another one she made with different DSP. Here’s my card for today.

From the panel of Celebratory Sips DSP that has the glasses, cut one of the orange drink glasses using the Cheers & Sips Dies. On the Watercolor block panel of Celebratory Sips DSP, stamp the citrus image from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Timid Tiger 2 times. Cut the citrus image out using the Cheers & Sips Dies. Snip one of the orange slices with Paper Snips and adhere it to the top of the drink glass with a Glue Dot. Adhere the glass to the card front with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the other orange slice by the sentiment. Tie a small bow with the Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon and adhere it to the drink glass with a Glue Dot. Add a couple Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines

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

Adhere a panel of On The Go DSP to a Basic Black mat with Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of Black Baker’s Twine around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases Along These Lines 3 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.

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend and the last day of May. I hope you have some fun plans in the works for today.

I have a quick CAS card for you today. You know how I’m always saying I do not like yellow and orange. Well, those are the colors I used.
