Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s been hot and humid here still and I have no desire to be outside. I’ll be at the dog bakery today and since it’s been so hot, not many dogs have been coming in.

I had fun playing and building today’s card. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #567.

My colors are from Color Throwdown challenge #704. Although the colors don’t scream beachy, I made it work, I think.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP to a Crumb Cake card base. I cut 9 of the smallest circles from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut 9 of the smallest scalloped circles from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Basic Black cardstock. On the 5 Basic White circles I stamped the seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy meadow Ink, one stamped full strength and one stamped off once on scrap paper. On the remaining 4 circles I stamped the 2 smallest seashell images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 9 Basic White circles to the 9 Basic Black scalloped circles using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered a piece of Black Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Classic Matte Dots by the sentiment and a couple Pearl Basic Jewels on 2 of the seashell circles.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the seaweed images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel, one stamped in full strength and the others stamped off once on scrap paper. I stamped the seashell image next to the seaweed in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Thank You 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the seaweed image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the seashell image from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink next to the seaweed. I adhered a panel of the Rustic Harvest DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend?

I played with a new set from the July-December Mini Catalog. This set I wasn’t sure about, but once I started playing with it, I really like it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle along with the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic DSP to a Soft Succulent card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the branch image and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the bird image in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the branch using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the bird image using my Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the Smoky Slate In from the bird.

I cut the images out using my Aspen Tree Dies and the smallest Deckled Rectangle Die for the sentiment. I cut the leaf dies from the Aspen Tree Dies from panels of Mango Melody, Petal Pink and Pool Party cardstock. I cut the detailed leaf dies from the Chic Dies from a panel of Texture Chic DSP.

I adhered the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the bird on the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the large leaf and the details leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the smaller leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bird image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the bird the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the bird the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Texture Chic 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! Fond of Autumn for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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 Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Ring of Love Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by embossing a Mint Macaron card front using the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the top of the large floral image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the small flower from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice on the Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Pale papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the larger flower images to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the Basic White panel, I stamped the banner from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink inside the banner. I cut the banner out using the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the banner between the flower images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 smaller flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the flowers using my Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ring of Love 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. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Watercolor Card

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Is anyone doing anything special? Going to the beach, having a picnic etc? I’ll be at work all day today, but I do have off tomorrow, YAY!!! I finally got back to my card table after a heartbreaking week. I’m going to be lost for a while without my fur baby by my side.

July is World Watercolor Month, and we have lots of water coloring products to celebrate! Pencils, paper, stamps, and more. Take a look at what we have to offer. Since its World Watercolor Month, I thought I’d make a card for today using the Watercolor Pencils. I love water coloring with my Water Painter and Ink, I haven’t used Watercolor Pencils much but I’m learning to step outside of my comfort zone. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #542.

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the small plaid stamp from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Crumb Cake Panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Staz On Ink. I colored the image using my Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green and Real Red Water Color Pencils. Using my Water Painter, I blended the colors. I fussy cut the apple using my Paper Snips. I adhered the apple to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Staz On Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green and Real Red Water Color Pencils. I used my Water Painter to blend the colors. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat and then to the inside of the Real Red card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Staz On Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green and Real Red Watercolor Pencils along with my Water Painter. I adhered a panel of Gingham Cottage 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! Splendid Thoughts Thank You Sneak Peek

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Today’s card is part 2 of yesterday’s card. This one is also out of my comfort zone, but I had fun making it and was happy how it turned out. This was another one we made last Saturday at our Creativity Now Event and I tweaked it a little from the way they made it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. I lightly brushed Soft Sea Foam Ink over the embossed panel using my Blending Brush. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I blended some Soft Sea Foam Ink to the bottom corner of the panel using my Blending Brush. I stamped the solid eucalyptus leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I took the 4 negative die cut panels from yesterday’s card and adhered them to the Soft Sea Foam panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using my Splendid Stems Dies, I cut 3 pieces of Splendid Day DSP using the leaf die. I adhered the 3 die cut leaves inside 3 of the negative half-moon dies using Glue Dots.

On a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment using my Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the 4th negative half-moon die using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the solid eucalyptus leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set around the panel in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Soft Sea Foam 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 eucalyptus leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink around the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card and will give it a try. Some of the products that were used in today’s card will be available on Friday July 1st. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Treasured Kindness CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends and Happy Father’s Day!!! I hope you have something fun planned for the father’s, father’s to be, grandfathers, great grandfathers, fur father’s etc. I have a nice surprise for my husband from my son, daughter and I planned. Today is also my son’s birthday. I know I don’t talk about him a lot. I’m close with him, but he’s a man and doesn’t spend much time with mom. He’s been the apple of my eye since the day he was born. My little preemie is 27 and over 6′ tall. He’s a lot of fun to hang out with, he’s naturally funny, a soccer coach and loves being outside. He’s very friendly and personable and makes friends wherever he goes, we were on a ride together in Disney and he made a friend there. I thought before I get to my card, I’d share a few pictures of him. The pictures are from Disney in 2020, but he looks the same.

My favorite picture of him
Jay took his sister drinking around the world in Epcot. He hit every country, she hit 2 lol.
Me and my boy. He definitely gets his height from me lol
Jay and his dad exhausted from the early plane flight.

Thank you for letting me share. Today’s card is a CAS card using stamps, ink and paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Treasured Kindness Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Blending Brushes for my card today.

I played along with The Sisterhood of Crafters Seasonal Landscapes Challenge.

I started by adhering a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to a Starry Sky card base. On a Basic White card front, I started at the bottom of the panel using my Blending Brushes with Soft Succulent Ink. Working my way up I used Pale Papaya, Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky Inks making sure to blend them between colors. I then cut the panel down to a 3 3/4″ X 5″ card front using my Paper Trimmer.

I stamped the sun image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink in the center of the panel. Using the Treasured Kindness stamp set, I stamped the detailed tree trunk image in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the tree trunk fill image in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the detailed tree top image in Evening Evergreen Ink and the tree top fill image in Evening Evergreen Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the image below the tree in Soft Suede Ink once full strength and again stamped off.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the ends of the strip into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I snipped a thin piece of Starry Sky cardstock on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it under the sentiment banner using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to the Starry Sky card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sun image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink on the bottom of the panel, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the tree image from the Treasured Kindness stamp set on the bottom of the panel the same as I did for the card front.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree and sun images from the Treasured Kindness stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of 2022-2024 In-color 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! Happy Hedgehogs for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper and the 2022-2024 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our theme for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Mint Macaron card base. I adhered a strip of the 2022-2024 In-Color DSP to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the hedgehog image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I masked the image using the Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper and stamped the tree image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set over the hedgehog image in tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly image from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the hedgehogs’ nose. I colored the images using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Ivory, Mint Macaron, Pale Papaya, Soft Suede, Soft Succulent, So Saffron and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the image to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems (available July 1st) to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the mushroom and bird images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Soft Suede, So Saffron and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the hedgehog and butterfly images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Ivory and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes Cling Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to a Blackberry Bliss card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the butterfly image from Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the detailed sentiment from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the mat for the sentiment from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered the detailed sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

to complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set on the envelope front in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun in the works this weekend.

I played with a few different things for today’s card, stamps, ink, paper, dies, punch, embossing. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Bundle along with the Fabulous Frames Dies and the Timeworn Type 3e Embossing Folder for my card today.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #695.

I started by stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the leaf image. I cut the image out using the largest die from the Fabulous Frames Dies making sure the floral image was towards the top. I embossed the floral image panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From a panel of Brushed Metallic cardstock, I cut the corner die from the Fabulous Frames Dies. I adhered the corners to the Very Vanilla frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the frame to the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the outline bottle image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the bottle fill image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the bottle out using the Vintage Bottle Punch. I adhered the bottle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the bottom of the panel the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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!!
