How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!

Stampin’ Up! Feathered Fun

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends and Happy Earth Day!!! I hope your week has started off well. After a cold day here again in NJ yesterday we’re back in the 70’s the rest of the week. Maybe I’ll finally want to go outside to do more gardening.

I played with a new stamp set coming on May 6th for today’s card along with using the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and doing the emboss resist technique. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Feathered Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 6th) along with the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive It’s Okay Cling Stamp Set and Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the branch, reverse side of the leaves and reverse side of the bird images from the Feathered Fun stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the images with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Starting on the bottom of the panel, add Timid Tiger Ink using a Blending Brush. On the center of the panel, add Strawberry Slush Ink with a Blending Brush, overlapping the Timid Tiger to blend the colors. Add Secret Sea Ink on the top of the panel using a Blending Brush, getting a little darker towards the top. Using a small paintbrush dipped in water, splatter drops of water on the panel and let it dry completely.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the top of a panel of Secret Sea, stamp the sentiment from the It’s Okay stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the artwork panel using the 3rd largest Textured Notes Dies. Adhere the artwork panel to the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Seal. Add Wink of Stella to the artwork panel, by tapping it on your finger or a Bone Folder to add splatters.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Wood Textured Spec Paper to a Secret Sea card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Faceted Gems by the sentiment.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from It’s Okay stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the branch, bird and leaves images from the Feathered Fun stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Secret Sea card base.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun It's Okay 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the branch, leaves and bird images from Feathered Fun stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Emboss a panel of Secret Sea using the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder and adhere it to the envelope flap.
