Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
11

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. I played with one of the new Host stamp sets and used my not so favorite color that I really do like with this card. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to a Very Vanilla mat and then to a Mossy Meadow card base.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the single daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I cut the image out using my Tailored Made Tags Dies. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut it out using my Daffodil Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the tag using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I tied a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the top of the tag.

I cut the same size Tailor Made Tag from a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP. I adhered the DSP tag to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the stamped tag over the DSP tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banner Pick a Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Very Vanilla Polished Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I had stamped 2 of the butterfly images from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the Very Vanilla panel. I colored one in using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers and adhered it by the flower image. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Island Vibes

Posted on by
6

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and staying warm. I’ll be at the dog bakery today hopefully petting and playing with some cute puppies that will come in to visit and buy treats.

Today’s card uses a mix of Sale-a-bration items and mini catalog items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Island Vibes Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Cling Stamp Set and the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to a Just Jade card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the pineapple image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Just Jade and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers and fussy cut them using my Paper Snips. I adhered the pineapples to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pineapple image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Just Jade and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pineapple image from the Island Vibes stamp set on the envelope front and colored it using my Just Jade and So Saffon Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed 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! Island Vibes Special Moments

Posted on by
2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans. It’s going to be a chilly one here. My walk to work will be a very quick one, I tend to walk faster when it’s cold outside.

Today and tomorrow’s cards use some Sale-a-bration items again. I can’t believe that Sale-a-bration will be ending in just a little over 3 weeks. Make sure you get those orders in so that you get all the free items you were hoping for. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Island Vibes Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the potted plant image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the potted plant image from the Island Vibes stamp set in Tuxedo Black and colored it the same as for the card.

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

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otter for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

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’ll be working all day Saturday and Sunday too.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used Sale-a-bration products for today’s card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Simply Marbleous DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. Using my Layering Circles Dies, I cut the center of the card front using the 4th largest die.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the 5th largest Layering Circle Die and colored it in using my Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. From a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock I cut the coordinating scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I cut the 4th largest Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle die using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered circles to the Misty Moonlight circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the Basic White panel and cut it out using the smallest Layering Diorama Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to the sentiment .

I adhered the 2 panels of Simply Marbleous DSP to the Z-Fold sides of the inner card. I adhered the layered artwork to the inside using Stampin’ Seal only on the one half of the circle. I adhered it by closing the card and placing the circle inside the circle on the card front to make sure the card opens properly.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the inside of the Basic White panel. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Balmy Blue panel to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base. I adhered the Basic White inner card to the inside of the Misty Moonlight care base on top of the Balmy Blue liner

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the otter image from the Awesome Otters stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Sue Prather’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I played with one of the new Host stamp sets and used my not so favorite color that I really do like with this card. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the adorable Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Simply Marbleous DSP to a Smoky Slate mat. I wrapped a piece of the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mouse & cheese image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. The top of the cheese and the cheese holes I colored using my Blender Pen and Bumblebee Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots that I colored using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker.

On the inside I stamped the balloon image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Mischievous Mice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink inside the balloon. I colored the balloon using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky slate mat and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cheese and mouse image from the Mischievous Mice stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sweet Little Box

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I was able to have a fairly relaxing day yesterday, which was nice. I had time to sit at my craft table and get things ready for my next class on Tuesday along with getting a couple cards made.

I don’t have a card for you today. I have something different. I have a project this time that is so easy to make, I was able to get 6 of them done in no time at all. Here’s my project.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Sale-a-bration Photopolymer Stamp Set for my sentiment on my little box today.

I adhered 2 panels of the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the cute little Sweet Little Boxes.

Once I adhered the DSP, I put the Sweet Little Boxes together. They come with adhesive on the sides so all you have to do is fold all the score lines and put them together.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the heart from the Give It A Whirl Dies. I adhered the heart to the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment.

The box will hold 2 of the Ghirardelli Heart candies without bulging. I closed the box and wrapped a piece of Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the box and tied a bow on the top.

Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Coffee

Posted on by
12

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend and it’s a snowy one here. Last I heard we are supposed to get up to 12″ of snow today. I’ll be at work at least for part of the day. I walk to work, so I have no excuse of not being able to get the car our because the road isn’t plowed. If it gets as bad as they are saying, they will close the store early, especially if we run out of shovels and salt.

I played with a set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog today along with a Sale-a-bration item. I have gotten a lot of use from this set and just love playing with it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration for my card today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Color Challenge #275.

My design is from Fusion Challenge Coffee Chalkboard. I got the theme of the photo, I missed the chalkboard part.

I started by adhering a panel of the Simply Marbleous DSP to a Basic Gray mat and then to a Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of Smoky Slate cardstock to a Basic Gray mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Real Red cardstock I cut the sentiments out from the Love You More Than Dies. I adhered the long sentiment to the layered panel. I adhered the ‘coffee’ below the layered panel on the card front. I added 3 of the Basic Black Classic Matte Dots to the layered panel.

I cut the 3rd smallest Layering Circles Die from a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamped the steam image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and embossed it using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the coffee cup from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on the Basic White panel and cut it out using my Love You More Than Dies. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the coffee cup to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! happy & Heartfelt Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Simply Marbleous DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray 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 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 and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkle’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. I decided to make an Anniversary card using our theme.  Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my card today.

Our theme is LOVE this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to a Basic Gray card base. I adhered 2 more panels of the Friendly Hello DSP to Basic Gray mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the longer panel to the card front first, then the shorter panel on top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a Heart & Home Doily I masked off the circle by cutting a circle in the center of a Post-It Note and placing it over the doily. I stamped the bird image from the from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Versamark Ink on the doily. I removed the mask and immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the doily to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the tiny berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Friendly Hello DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today. If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go to Tara’s page. Or you can just click on the names below to go directly to all their blogs! Happy Hopping!!

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments CAS

Posted on by
8

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on the downhill to the weekend and the end of the month.

I have a CAS card for you today using Sale-a-bration items. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today. Both these items are Sale-a-bration items and can be earned free with a qualifying order.

My design is from The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #575.

I started by embossing a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Basic Whtie panel. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP on the envelope front and a panel 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!!
