Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Wedding Sneak Peek

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has everyone’s week started off?  One week from today is Christmas Eve, yikes!!  Have you gotten you shopping done, baking done, cards mailed.  You all know I got my baking done.  My cards just went in the mail (here’s hoping they get to everyone on time).  Shopping??? Well, I haven’t really gotten any done.  I’ve sent my husband out to pick things up, guess that’s next on my list of things to do.  I’m really running out of time here.

For today I have another sneak peek for you using the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Bundle.  When I saw this set in the New 2020 Mini Catalog, I just knew I had to have it.  My son needs a wedding card for New Years Day, so I thought I’d play around with this bundle.  Here’s my card.

I started by embossing a Whisper White card front using the new Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.  I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored the image in using my Purple Posy and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the images out using the Cherry Blossoms Dies.

I adhered the cut images to the embossed Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue letting them hang off on either side.  I cut the pieces that were hanging off the card front to make them even.  I adhered the card front to a Soft Seafoam mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the matted card front to a Purple Posy card base using Stampin’ Dimensional.  I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the large floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink on a panel of Whisper White.  I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the floral image in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Soft Seafoam mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Purple Posy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added a couple more Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the inside.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the large floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of Purple Posy 2019-2021 In-Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  Stamp Set, Dies and Embossing Folder used for today’s card will be available in just 2 1/2 short weeks. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Timeless Tulips Sneak Peek for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  I’ve got all my cookie doughs mixed, some of my bar cookies made and today and tomorrow I bake everything off.  My house will have the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cookies for the next couple days.  Now to have the willpower not to eat them.

For today’s I made a card for you doing Simple Stamping .  I never do simple, but I thought I’d give it a try.  All I used was Stamp, Ink and Paper.  There are no layers, except for the sentiment and one thin strip.  Here’s my card.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #573.  Here are their colors.

I played along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #415.  Here is their sketch.

I started by folding my Thick Whisper White card base at 4 1/4″ & 2″ (a little different than a regular Z-Fold).

I adhered a thin strip of Lovely Lipstick cardstock to the left edge of the card base, on the fold, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  On the 2″ card front I stamped the script image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Cling Stamp Set twice in Granny Apple Green Ink stamping off once.  I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered the sentiment strip to a Lovely Lipstick mat using Snail.

I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the right of the card base.  I stamped the medium and small tulip images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink on the stems.  I adhered the sentiment, so that it went across the stems, on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink behind the fold.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on the envelope front.  I stamped the medium and small tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink on the stems.  I stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  The Timeless Tulips Stamp Set will be available for purchase on January 3, 2020 from the New January-June Mini Catalog.  Happy Stamping.

Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet Sneak Peek

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  How has everyone’s week been?  The weekend is almost upon us, is anyone making plans.  By the time you read this I will probably be elbow deep in butter, sugar and flour.  I’m starting my cookie mixing today.  I’ll be mixing all day and tomorrow and Friday I’ll be baking all day.  I will actually be getting a little bit of help this year.  My daughter doesn’t have as many in person finals, so she will be by my side for part of the time helping with the mixing and shaping of cookie dough.

If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for taking the time to stop by. This week we had a Color Challenge. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.  I have another sneak peek for you today using another new stamp set from the New Mini Catalog.  This is the set I won with Prize Patrol at OnStage in November.  I’ve made a Triple Time Card for you using it.   Here’s my card using our colors.

Here are the colors we had for this week.  I chose Gorgeous Grape for my choice color.

I started by layering the 3 Whisper White panels on top of one another making sure to center them with one another.  Using my Stamparatus I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet Cling Stamp Set (available Jan 3, 2020) in Smoky Slate Ink on all 3 panels at once.

I adhered each of the pieces of artwork to their matching Gorgeous Grape mats using Snail.  I adhered the smallest matted piece to the top of the medium matted piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I wrapped a piece of the Silver 3/8″ Metallic Edged Ribbon around the artwork and tied a bow.  I adhered the largest artwork panel to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the other panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small piece of Vellum Cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the soon to retire Stampin’ Up! Beauty & Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the corners of the rectangle.  I added a few Gorgeous Grape Noble Peacock Rhinestones to the sentiment and the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the new Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set (available Jan 3, 2020), in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the top part of the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp on the bottom of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I adhered a thin strip of the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the bottom front of the envelope.  I adhered a panel of the Brights 6 X 6 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 Painted Poppies Sneak Peek

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.Can you believe that Christmas is  2 weeks from today?  I really need to get moving.  After work today and after getting my stitches out,  I will be starting my marathon baking.  I start by mixing all my cookie doughs tonight and tomorrow, then I bake continuously all day Friday and Saturday.  Not sure how many different kinds I will be making this year yet, I kind of decide as I go.  The past few years it’s been around 25 or 26 different ones.  Time will tell.

For today I have another card that we made this past Sunday at our in person team meeting. The card was designed by my Team Leader Amy and one of our team members Sue.  This card uses the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Bundle available January 3, 2020 from the New January-June Mini Catalog.   Here’s my card.

I started by stamping the large splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the front of the Flirty Flamingo card base.  Some were stamped in full strength and some were stamped off.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set on the bottom right of the card base in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

On a panel of Thick Whisper White cardstock I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.   I stamped the image twice, once slightly off the panel to the left and the second time as close to the first as you can without overlapping.  I stamped the small splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Old Olive Ink along the lower part of the stems, stamping twice before reinking.  I stamped the large splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink across the flowers stamping off once.  I stamped the small splatter image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink across the flowers, stamping twice before reinking.

Using the Painted Labels Dies I cut the lacy scalloped strip twice from the 1 1/2″ X 3″ strip of Old Olive cardstock. I adhered the scallop strips to the bottom of the artwork, overlapping in the center so that they fit  end to end using Snail.  I adhered the 1/2″ strip of Old Olive cardstock to the top of the artwork using Snail.  I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the artwork and tied a bow.  I adhered the artwork to the Flirty Flamingo card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of the panel twice.  I stamped the colors on the image the same as I did for the artwork.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the small floral image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front of the envelope and the envelope flap.  I stamped the colors on the image the same as I did for the artwork.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  The stamp sets and dies used for today’s card will be available January 3, 2020 from the New Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday To You Sneak Peek for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month and you know what that means, Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate”. We can interpret this any way that we’d like.

For today’s card I’m giving you a little sneak peek of an upcoming Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  I knew I wanted this set the first time I saw it at OnStage.

My colors were inspired by Fab Friday Challenge #178.  Here are their colors.

I played along with Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #329 for my design.  Here is their sketch.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday To You Cling Stamp Set, (new Sale-A-Bration item starting January 3, 2020), in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of a Pear Pizzazz card front.  I embossed the Pear Pizzazz card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

I wrapped a piece of the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon around the card front then adhered the card front to a Merry Merlot mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the matted card front to a Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cake image from the Happy Birthday To You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink .  I colored the cake in using my Mossy Meadow and Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Merry Merlot and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers.  I fussy cut the cake using my Paper Snips and adhered the cake to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers on the cake.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Birthday To You stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the top of the cake image from the Happy Birthday To You stamp set on the bottom corner of the panel and colored it in the same as I did on the card front.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat using Snail and then 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 cake image from the Happy Birthday To You stamp set on the front of the envelope.  I adhered a panel of the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Have you been getting you shopping done, cookies made, decorations up?  I had to work on Saturday, but Sunday was a day of fun.  We had our in person team meeting and I got to stamp with my team members and friends.  I always love when I get to stamp with others.  We had a wonderful lunch together followed by our meeting and then we got to make some beautiful projects.  Here are a couple pictures from our day.

This is Akiko, Terry Lynn and I working on our projects.

This is Terry Lynn, myself, Akiko and our wonderful team leader Amy.

Here is one of the projects we made at our meeting using the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Bundle (available Jan 3, 2020).

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set, on the lower right of Thick Whisper White card base in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Using the Banner Triple Punch I punched the end of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper panel and adhered it to the card front using Snail.

Using the Poppy Moments Dies for all of the die cutting, I cut the 2 different solid parts of the poppies out of Poppy Parade cardstock and the 2 different outlines of the poppies out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock.  I cut 3 of the solid part of the leaves out of Old Olive cardstock and 3 of the leaf outlines out of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  I cut all 3 of the poppy centers out of Basic Black cardstock.  I adhered the poppy outlines to the solid poppies and the leaf outlines to the solid leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the flower centers using a Glue Dot.

I adhered the smaller poppy to the card front first using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the larger poppy to the card front, overlapping the smaller one a little, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the leaves under the poppies using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel.  I stamped the poppy outline image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set on either side of the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I stamped the fill image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink over each outline image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel 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 poppy outline image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and flap.  I stamped the fill image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink over the outlined images.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card that was designed by my Team Leader Amy.  All products for this card will be available on January 3, 2020 from the New Mini Catalog.  If you are a customer of mine, you will  be getting your catalog shortly.  If you are not and would like to become one of my customers, just drop me a note along with you address and I will get a catalog in the mail to you ASAP.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Tidings With a Sneak Peek

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends.  How has everyone’s week started?  I hope everyone is doing well and finishing up all your cards to get in the mail early.  I’m having a class tonight and the ladies will be making a few more Christmas cards to add to their stash.  They may even be making this one.  Before my class though I will be gong in for surgery.  I’ve had trigger finger in both of my hands and I just couldn’t stand the pain anymore or the locking of my fingers.  I am having both hands operated on at the same time, I must be nuts.  I was told that I am to use my hands immediately, so I figured why not have a class.  The first thing my daughter said when I told her I was having surgery was ” so you’ll be ok to bake cookies this year then right?”.  You can see where her priorities are, lol.

So today I have a card that looks more involved than it really is.  Once you get the couple pieces cut out, it goes together really quick.  I was very hesitant about getting the Toile Tiding Designer Series Paper, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it.  It’s only 2 colors + Very Vanilla, Garden Green on one side and Real Red on the other.  I’m so happy I bought it, I really love the designs on this paper.  Once again I was inspired by one of my team members, Akiko, who made this card for our weekly blog hop a couple weeks ago.  Here is her card.  Here’s my take on it.

I started by cutting a circle in a Very Vanilla card front using the 2nd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies.  As in my description, I have a little sneak peek of something coming January 3, 2020 in the new Mini Catalog (formally known as the occasions catalog).  I embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the new Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder, isn’t it just gorgeous.  Using the largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a piece of Real Red cardstock.  I used the 2nd largest circle die from the Layering Circles Dies to cut the inside of the scallop circle to make a frame.  I adhered the scallop frame to the Very Vanilla card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I cut a panel of Toile Tidings DSP using the largest circle die from the Layering Circles Dies making sure to get the image I wanted in the circle.  I adhered the Toile Tidings DSP circle behind the Very Vanilla panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of Garden Green 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Christmas Cardinal Dies. I adhered the cut sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Real Red Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the branch image from the Toile Christmas stamp set on either side of the panel in Garden Green Ink.  I colored the berries on the branches in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Real Red mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the branch image from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the berries on the branch in using my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker.  I adhered a panel of the Toile Tidings DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! OnStage Sneak Peeks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Mine was fantastic!!  I got to spend 2 days in Hartford, CT with my team members at OnStage.  It was a PERFECT way to spend my birthday weekend.

This is most of my group that I was with.  Penny, Christy, Julie, Kim, Jaimie, me,  Akiko and Amy.  We had a great time catching up, stamping together and seeing the new Mini Catalog.  It’s always a great time when we get together.

My awesome Upline, Jaimie, got to go to CenterStage for the 1st time.

Our amazing leader Amy got to walk across the stage as a Top Performer.

We received this beautiful backpack filled with some gifts as soon as we arrived.

Kim, Julie, Akiko and Terry Lynn are showing off their Prize Patrol stamp sets.

This was my Prize Patrol, Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet Cling Background Stamp Set.  I can’t wait to play with this one!  I received 2 stamp sets and had to give one away to a random person that I never met within 10 seconds as a Random Gift of Kindness.

This was one of the first cards we made using the new Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling and Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Sets along with the new Peaceful Poppies DSP.

The next card we made used the new Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set and the new Tulip Builder Punch.

One of my favorite new sets coming is the Stampin’ Up Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set that has matching Cherry Blossoms Dies.

We made these 3 adorable 3″ note cards using the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set that has All Dressed Up Dies to match.

Here are some more goodies that I came home with at the end of our convention.

These were all items that we used for our cards and at the end we were allowed to divide them up between us.  The ribbon is the new Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon, it’s ana absolutely gorgeous glossy satin ribbon with champagne metallic edges.  The paper is the New Country Club Designer Series Paper.

Here is the new 2020 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog.  You will be able to purchase from this catalog starting January 3, 2020 and earn FREE Sale-A- Bration items from January 3, 2020 – March 31, 2020.  If  you have placed an order with me and you are a customer of mine, I will be sending you your free catalog as soon as I get them Mid-December.  If you would like to receive a catalog feel free to contact me.

I will be doing a paper share again for the new catalog.  More information to follow in the next couple weeks.

Stampin’ Up Ride With Me Birthday Card

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers and Happy Labor Day to you all.  Hope you are getting to enjoy a day off.

For today’s card I played with a new set to me called Ride With Me.  I had to make a card for a little boy turning 2 who loves trucks.  Here’s my card.

My card joined in with Cardz 4 Guys Challenge #227  Their theme is ‘CELEBRATE’

I started by cutting out the rainbow frame using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I cut  the Pumpkin Pie frame using the 3rd & 4th die (starting from the largest and counting down).  I cut the Pineapple Punch frame using the 4th & 5th die.  I cut the Granny Apple Green frame using the 5th & 6th die and I cut the Blueberry Bushel rectangle using the 6th die.  I arranged them all together and adhered them to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the truck image from the Stampin’ Up Ride With Me Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the truck in using my Light Basic Black, Gray Granite, Pineapple Punch and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I fussy cut the truck out using my Paper Snips.  I stamped the balloon image from the Ride With Me stamp set on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock using my Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them in using my Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Pineapple Punch and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut them out using the Truck Ride Dies.

I adhered the truck and the balloons to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Using my Hand-Lettered Prose Dies, I cut out the letters in Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered them above the truck using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Stampin’ Up Well Said Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I adhered to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the truck image from the Ride With Me stamp set in Real Red Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel stamping off once.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the truck image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the truck image from the Ride With Me stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in the same as I did for the card front.  I stamped the balloon image from the Ride With Me stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink across the envelope flap and colored them in the same as I did for the card front.

Thank you for taking the time today to stop by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Enjoy your day off.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up Harvest Hellos Sneak Peek for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday.  How has everyone’s week gone?  Are you ready for the 3 day weekend?  Do you have some fun picnic plans for Monday?

Today I have a Joy Fold card for you featuring one of the new bundles in the upcoming 2019 Holiday Catalog called Harvest Hellos.  Here’s my card.

I started by embossing a Whisper White panel with my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Pacific Point card base in the center of the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue with the opening to the left.

I stamped the apple seed image from the Stampin’ Up Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set along the bottom of a Poppy Parade Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them in using my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.  On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the apple slice image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice.  I colored the image in using my Poppy Parade and Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I fussy cut the images using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the apple slices above the stamped seeds on the Brights 6 X 6 DSP using Glue Dots on the bottom one and Stampin’ Dimensionals. on the top one.  I stamped the sentiment from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the top of the DSP panel. I adhered the DSP panel to a Whisper White mat using Snail and then to the front left side of the card base.

I stamped the apple image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice on a Whisper White panel.  I colored the images in using my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I punched the apples out using my Apple Builder Punch.  I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the Whisper White panel.  I colored them in using my Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I punched the stems and leaves out using my Apple Builder Punch and adhered them to the apple using Glue Dots.  Using my Gathered Leaves Dies I cut out a Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Shaded Spruce leaves.  I adhered a woodgrain panel of Come To Gather Designer Series Paper to the front of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the leaves along the bottom of the card front, avoiding the right folded edge, using Glue Dots.  I adhered the apples on top of the leaves using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the apple seed and apple slice images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel.  I colored the images in using my Dark Basic Black and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the apple image from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front.  I colored it in the same as I did for the card.  I adhered a Poppy Parade panel of the Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
