Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to our monthly Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. The 2nd Tuesday of every month this amazing group of ladies put together a blog hop and you are guaranteed to see some gorgeous projects. This month our theme is ‘CELEBRATE SPRING’. We can interpret this any way we would like to. If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. I’ve used the FREE with Sale-A-Bration , Painted Seasons Bundle and the Four Seasons Famelits Dies for my card today. Here is my card for today.
I love doing Fancy Fold cards, it’s one of my favorites. Whenever I see a different fold, I keep practicing until I get it right. I just love the challenge of different folds. My card has a lot of pieces to it. All the measurements are listed below. I started with a Pool Party panel and scored it at 5 1/4″. Putting the short side on the edge of my Stampin’ Trimmer, I lined up the long edge at the 1″ mark. I cut from 3″ to 7 1/2″. I then put the long edge with the 3″ side on the edge of my Stampin’ Trimmer and the 5 1/4″ score mark to the right and scored at the 3″ mark. Keeping the cardstock the same, I scored the 1″ piece at 7 1/2″. I hope this makes sense to you.
Here is what it will look like once you fold on the score lines.
I adhered my Wood Textures Designer Series Paper on Petal Pink mats using Snail. I adhered my Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper on the smaller Petal Pink mats using Snail. I adhered all the matted pieces to the scored Pool Party panel where they all fit using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Pool Party card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Big Shot I cut the word ‘friend’ out from the Well Written Framelit Dies in the Wood Textures DSP. It did not photograph well, but it show up much better in person. I adhered it to the bottom front section using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the succulent flower image from the Stampin’ Up Painted Seasons Stamp Set (FREE Sale-A-Bration item) 3 times. I stamped 2 in Pool Party Ink and 1 in Petal Pink Ink. On the Petal Pink flower I used my Sponge Dauber and lightly went around the edges with Pool Party Ink and then stamped over the 1st image. I did the same with the Pool Party flowers except I used Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the same stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink 3 times. Using my Big Shot, I cut all the images out with my Four Seasons Framelits Dies (available for a limited time during the month of March). I adhered 2 of the flowers and the 3 leaf images to the front section of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I adhered the 3rd flower to the back section of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of Silver and Petal Pink Bakers Twine around the front section of the card front and tied a bow. I added some Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the succulent flower from the Painted Seasons stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock stamping it off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Well Said Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink over the flower. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the succulent flower from the Painted Seasons stamp set on the front of the envelope once in Petal Pink Ink and twice in Pool Party Ink. I adhered a piece of Painted Seasons DSP to the envelope flap.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the succulent flower image from the Painted Seasons stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink randomly around the paper. I stamped the star clusters from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink around filling in empty spaces. I adhered the artwork panel to a Blushing Bride mat using Snail. I adhered the matted artwork to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up By The Bay Stamp Set, FREE Sale-A-Bration item with a $50.00 order, in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the bottom right of the card front. I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I had colored in with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend Marker, to the top corner of the card front.
On the inside I stamped the succulent flower image from the Painted Seasons stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the two corners of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the star clusters from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink by the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from the By The Bay stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I joined in with the 
I started with a Smoky Slate card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Using the soon to be available from the Sale-A-Bration Coordination collection, Story Label Punch (available March 1st), I punched a label out in Melon Mambo cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set (Free Sale-A-Bration item) in Versamark Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. I sprinkled it immediately with my Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the label and trimmed the ends to the label. I added a Heart Epoxy Droplet, which I colored with my Dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend Marker (that was the closest to Melon Mambo I could get). I adhered the label to the right of my artwork with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the flower from the Painted Seasons stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on the two corners of a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I added a couple of the star clusters from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Melon Mambo mat using Snail and adhered it to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
and here is ‘Just Us Girls’ Challenge
I started with a panel of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the house image from the Stampin’ Up By The Bay Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. This beautiful stamp set is a FREE item with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. I just love this image and would absolutely love to be in that house looking out at the bay right now. On a smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the seagull image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Using my Aqua Painter filled with Alcohol, I water colored the images in using Balmy Blue, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede Inks. To get the ink I squeezed the stamp pad before opening it so that ink goes on the inside of the lid. I used my Aqua Painter to pick up the ink to color my picture with. When I was done with each color, I wiped the lid with paper towel to make sure ALL alcohol was off the lid before closing it. You do not want to get alcohol in your ink. Once I was done watercoloring my pictures I cut them out using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. I adhered the house and bay image to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and I adhered the seagull image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the By The Bay stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the seashell from the same stamp set to the right of the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink. I edged the strip using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to give it a little dimension. I then adhered the sentiment to the card front, sliding it under the seagull image, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached a small bow made of Linen Thread to the sentiment strip using a Glue Dot.
On the inside I stamped the house image from By The Bay stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping it off once, in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the house image.

I used the Stampin’ Up Hello Cupcake stamp set. It’s one of the FREE products from Sale-A-Bration with a $50 order. I started with a Pineapple Punch card front. Using my Stamparatus I stamped the Sprinkled with Love sentiment from the Hello Cupcake in Pineapple Punch Ink. I adhered the card front to a Lovely Lipstick mat using Snail.
On a strip of Pineapple Punch cardstock I stamped the Sprinkled with Love sentiment in Lovely Lipstick and made a banner. I adhered the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left of the artwork. I added a couple of the Candle Embellishments to the cupcake and a Happiness Blooms Enamel Dot in Call Me Clover on the artwork. I adhered the card front to a Pineapple Punch card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the cupcake from the Hello Cupcake stamp set the same as I did for the artwork, but I stamped off twice to get a light image on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the top of the cupcake. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Snail then adhered it to the Pineapple Punch card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card front and adhered a strip of the Gingham Gala 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper on the bottom portion. I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon (free Sale-A-Bration item with $50 purchase) around the bottom and tied a knot. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Snail.
I adhered the leaves to the back of the lemon using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered the lemon to the center of the sliced images. I adhered the artwork to the top portion of the Lemon Lime Twist card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the card front to a Grapefruit Grove card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside of the card is where I used the masking technique. I stamped the 1st fruit slice from the Lemon Zest stamp set in Pineapple Punch Ink in the top left corner. I covered the image with a cut out Post-It note and stamped the Grapefruit Grove and Lemon Lime Twist images. I then covered the Lemon Lime Twist image and stamped the Mango Melody image. I stamped the sentiments from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Snail then to the Grapefruit Grove card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a Wood Textures Designer Series Paper card front and adhered it to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a Whisper White panel, using my Stamparatus, I stamped the stems from the Stampin’ Up Lasting Lily stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the leaf in Mint Macaron Ink on the stem on the right. I then stamped the Lily’s from the same set in Powder Pink Ink onto the stems. All the stamping of these flowers I used my Stamparatus, it made it much easier to line everything up. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Powder Pink mat using Snail. I wrapped a Mint Macaron piece of Nature’s Twine around the bottom of the artwork.
I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Lily stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut the oval out using my Big Shot and my Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Using the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and my Big Shot again, I cut the Powder Pink scalloped oval mat. I adhered the Stitched oval to the Powder Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered it to the artwork and card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the sentiment oval.
On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the Lily image again from the Lasting Lily stamp set the same as I did for the card front, but stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set over the lilies in Mint Macaron Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Powder Pink mat using Snail and then to the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
As you can see all the cards are kind of the same. The frog card is made with Melon Mambo and the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch. The puppy is made with Poppy Parade and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and the kitty is made with Blushing Bride and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. All these cards are Peek-A-Boo cards.
I stamped the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely stamp set in either Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (on the Melon Mambo or Poppy Parade cards) or Early Espresso Ink (for the Blushing Bride card) above the circle or ovals. I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the top of each card base and tied a knot. I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels to each of the card fronts.
I stamped the You Are Loved sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set on a Whisper White panel using Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade or Early Espresso Inks. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of each of the card bases.
Here is what I came up with for this Sketch and Thank you Challenge. Take a look.
I started with a Calypso Coral card front and using my Big Shot I embossed it with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up Bee Thankful stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. To get the shading on the thanks, I first colored with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I then colored the bottom with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker and then blended it with my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered the artwork to a Granny Apple Green mat using Snail. I adhered a piece of the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon across the bottom of the artwork. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the so much sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Big Thank You stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I cut the ends on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it below the artwork using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dot to the small strip.
