Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Hello

Posted on by
6

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did everyone enjoy the Super Bowl?

I played with a couple bundles for today’s card. Once again, I couldn’t make up my mind what to use. I used the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Bundle for my card. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #307.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Textured 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Many Layered Blooms Die, I cut a panel of Petal Pink card stock and a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. I adhered the Mint Macaron to the top of the Petal Pink using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the thicker spots. I adhered the die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Many Messages set is such an awesome set. It’s 1 stamp that you stamp all these sentiments and 1 die that cuts them all at once. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Cling Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration item), in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I just love the fonts and sentiments from this stamp set. I stamped the small flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Blossoms In Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the leaf image from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink next to the flowers. I stamped the flower center in Coastal Cabana Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set I stamped the small flower on the envelope front and flap in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the leaf image near the flowers in Mint Macaron Ink and the flower centers in Coastal Cabana Ink.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Berry Blessings

Posted on by

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. It started snowing here on Sunday afternoon, continued through all day Monday leaving us with over 2 feet of snow on the ground. It snowed on and off all day yesterday and it’s still snowing this morning. I guess this is making up for us not getting any snow at all last year. My oldest and his girlfriend built an igloo in our backyard that they were sitting in last night and my backyard still has 2′ covering it.

It’s time for another Inspiration Challenge from The Card Concept. For the next 2 weeks we have a Sweetheart Sweet challenge. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Berry Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card. I was inspired by the delicious looking chocolate cupcakes with the sweet raspberries on top from the inspiration photo. I just love Early Espresso and Flirty Flamingo together.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept and join use this week to play along with our challenge #148. How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by embossing an Early Espresso card front using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Using the Berry Blessings stamp set, on a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem image in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the fill leaf image and the fill stem image in Granny Apple Green Ink over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink and the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once over the outline image. I cut the image out using my Layering Squares Dies. I cut a scalloped square mat using the Layering Square Dies from a panel of Flirty Flamingo Ink. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front under the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few white Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front.

Using the Berry Blessing stamp set on a Basic White panel, I stamped the outline leaf image and the outline stem images in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the leaf and stem fill images in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once over the outline images. I stamped the outline raspberry image in Poppy Parade Ink stamping off once. I stamped the raspberry fill image in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, over the outline image. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Early Espresso Ink over the berries in the center of the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and raspberry image from the Berry Blessings stamp set on the front of the envelope the same as I did on the card front. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delightful 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!!

Stampin’ Up! CAS Sweet Ice Cream Thank You

Posted on by

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have to go into work today, but only for a couple hours to close out the end of the month. Hard to believe that January is gone already.

For today’s card I made another clean and simple card using the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My colors and design are from my Upline, Jaimie Babarczy. These were the colors and sketch she gave us to work from this week. I have to admit, I did have a little trouble putting the colors and sketch together. I had to think outside the box a bit.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set first in Pool Party Ink, then Real Red Ink and last in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White card front. I used my Stamparatus to like everything up perfectly.

I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the card front to a Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered it to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a thin strip of Basic White cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut it into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored 2 of the Pearl Basic Jewels using my Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the 2 colored pearls and a Matte Black Dot next to the coordinating color stamped sentiments.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Pool Party and Real Red Ink next to the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the splatter image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set on the envelope front and 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! Corner Bouquet Thank You CAS

Posted on by

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Hope you are doing something fun this weekend or maybe just catching up on some much needed rest.

For today I have a Clean and Simple card for you using all Sale-A-Bration items. This is such a great time of year with Stampin’ Up! You earn FREE products. I’ve used 2 stamp sets and some Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE with qualifying orders of $50 (for each item). Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Corner Bouquet Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Heal Your Heart Cling Stamp Set and the Oh So Ombre 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. Each of these items are FREE with a $50 order.

I started by stamping the smaller bouquet from the Corner Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of a Bermuda Bay panel of Oh So Ombre DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink towards the top of the Oh So Ombre DSP.

I adhered the card front to a Basic Black mat using Stampin Seal and then to a Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Corner Bouquet stamp set in Bermuda Bay Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bouquet image from the Corner Bouquet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Oh So Ombre DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend? It’s the last weekend of January already. Does anyone have plans? I have to go into work for a couple hours on Sunday since it’s the last of the month, but I have off tomorrow. It’s my husbands birthday this weekend, so I thought I’d be nice and be home to make him a birthday dinner. Turns out he wants pizza made in his pizza oven, which means he’s cooking.

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 very much. 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 that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Bundle for my card today along with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

I started by doing all the cutting and folding on a Terracotta Tile card base. I started with a panel of 4 1/4″ X 11″ card base. I scored it at the 5 1/2″ mark from the top to 1″ from the bottom. I scored at 6″ from the bottom up 1″. I scored at 3 1/4″ from the bottom up to 1″. I scored at 8 1/4″ from the top down to 1″. I turned the card base and lined the edge up at the 1″ mark on my Trimmer and cut from the 3 1/4″ score line to the 8 1/4″ score line. I valley folded on the 5 1/2″ score line and mountain folded on the 6″ score line. The other score lines kind of just fall into place. It’s explained much better on the video if you are able to watch it.

This is the top view of the card base and how it should look.

I adhered the panels of Fine Art Floral DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Mossy Meadow Ink and cut it out using the smallest label die from the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom cut panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the back panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink over the stamped off image. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the stem image to the embossed panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower on the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside I stamped the bouquet of flowers image from the Art Gallery stamp set by coloring the stems with my Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker and the tiny buds with my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the image again, just inking up the flowers with Night Of Navy Ink, I stamped off on a piece of scrap paper 2 times to get a very light shade. I stamped the small detail flower in Night of Navy Ink over 3 of the stamped flowers. I fussy cut the flowers using my Paper Snips. I adhered the flowers to the bouquet using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then adhered the bouquet to the card base using Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink, stamping off once, on the stem. I stamped the detailed flower image over the stamped image in Terracotta Tile Ink. I adhered a panel of the Fine Art Floral 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. 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! Tranquil Thoughts Thank You Card

Posted on by
8

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend so far? I hope you are finding some time for yourself.

For today I used another bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Bundle. It’s a beautiful tropical set which I just love. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with the TGIF challenge #300. This was an easy one since the catalog just went live.

My upline Jaimie Babarczy is doing a challenge for our team this month. Each week she is giving us a sketch and color challenge. I used the colors only for today’s card. Here’s this weeks challenge.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set in the center of a Basic White card front in Mint Macaron Ink. I embossed the panel using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Using the Tranquil Dies, I cut the largest image from a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock and adhered it to the Basic White card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the edges. I trimmed the excess using my Paper Snips. I stamped the leaves from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the same panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Tranquil Dies.

I adhered the leaves and flowers to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink on the bottom of the panel and the small leaf image in Coastal Cabana Ink near the flowers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and the envelope flap. I stamped the leaf images from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink 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!!

Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Thanks

Posted on by
4

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. Is anyone doing anything this weekend? I’ll be working all day today and tomorrow.

For today’s card I used one of the FREE stamp sets available from Sale-A-Bration. The Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set. There are lots of beautiful images and sentiments in this set. This set is available with a qualifying order of $100 or more. Here’s my card for today.

My upline Jaimie Babarczy is doing a challenge for our team this month. Each week she is giving us a sketch and color challenge. I used the colors, but switched the side of the sketch. This was a bit of a challenge for me since those that know me, know Crushed Curry is my least favorite color. Here’s this weeks challenge.

I started by adhering a panel of Playing With Patterns 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the outline floral image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I colored the flower in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the image to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the butterfly image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Crushed Curry cardstock. I fussy cut the butterfly using my Paper Snips. I colored the butterflies body in and a part of the wing using my Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the butterfly to the card front, overlapping the stitched circle, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from A Touch Of Ink stamp set on a strip of Basic White cardstock in Night of Navy Ink and cut the sentiment out using my Tasteful Labels Dies. I colored a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Marker and added them to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set on the envelope front in Night of Navy Ink. I colored the image in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Playing With Patterns 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! Dragonfly Garden Thanks for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
12

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today and staying healthy. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a color challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card for today.

This week we have a color challenge for our blog hop. Here are the colors. I chose Pool Party as the color of my choice. I’m really starting to like black and white cards lately.

I started by stamping the wild flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty Abounds Cling Stamp Set above the flowers in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the butterfly in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I embossed the panel using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the sentiment and colored it in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wild flower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the butterfly image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink by the flowers and colored it in using my Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Sneak Peek

Posted on by
6

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? I’m working again today, but I do have off tomorrow. Is anyone starting to make any plans for New Year’s Eve? We’ll be staying home.

I have another sneak peek for you today from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Berry Delight Designer Series Paper that is bunded with another stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I started by embossing a Garden Green card front using the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delight DSP to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Striped Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the outline of the flowers from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink above and below the sentiment. I stamped the flower fill images in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamped off twice, over the outline image. I stamped the outline leaf image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Garden Green Ink by the flowers. I stamped the leaf fill image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Garden Green Ink, stamped off once, over the outline image. I cut the stamped panel out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a scallop square mat, which I cut from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using my Layering Squares Dies, using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the square to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the outline flower images from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the panel corners. I stamped the fill images in Blackberry Bliss Ink, some stamped off once and some twice. I stamped the leaf outline image from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set around the flowers in Garden Green Ink. I stamped the leaf fill image in Garden Green Ink, stamping off once, over the outlined image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Berry Delight DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items I used for my card today will be available January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK PRODUCTS- AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Stampin’ Up! announced this information related to the Whisper White paper products late last evening:

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

What does this mean for you?

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)

  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
8

Good Thursday morning and Merry Christmas Eve my stamping friends, welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. Is everyone ready for the big day? I’m as ready as I’m going to be this year. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here’s my card using the sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Bundle for my card today.

I started by coloring a panel of the new True Love Designer Series Paper (coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog) using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered a panel of the True Love DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched rectangle panel to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sentimental Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a piece of 1/4″ Old Olive Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Onate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the True Love DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a panel of the colored True Love DSP to the envelope front and 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.
