Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you are having a productive one.

I know it’s not Friday, but I have a simple fun fold card for you today. A couple weeks ago my team had an ARTisan Pizza Party on Facebook. If you were able to join in the fun, thank you. If you did join in you saw that I had a fun fold card demo. I thought I’d share the card with you today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card.

I started by scoring and folding an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ Blackberry Bliss card base as 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″.

I adhered 2 panels of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to Gold Foil mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panel to the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as shown above.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the sentiment panel to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I put Stampin’ Dimensionals only on 1/2 of the layered panel and adhered it to the card front.

I added 2 Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I stamped the floral image and the bird from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once, by the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment panel to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue making sure that it was behind the card front sentiment panel. I added another Rhinestone Basic Jewel just below the inside sentiment panel.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral and bird images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty 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!!

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I hope your weekend is starting out to be a good one.

Today’s card I let the DSP do most of the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Many Messages Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Sale-a-bration Host Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of In The Wild DSP to a Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 3 panel of the In The Wild DSP to 3 Cajun Craze mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 3 panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Messages Dies. I cut the smallest tag from the Tailored Made Tags Dies from a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Seal. I threaded a piece of Black Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut one of the tigers out of the In The Wild DSP and adhered it to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the In the Wild DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Well it was back to normal life yesterday. We got home safely late Sunday night and I was up at the crack of dawn Monday morning and in work. It’s always amazing how quickly a little getaway goes and a week just drags by sometimes.

I’m sharing pictures of our retreat with you today along with the projects we made. There was a LOT of eating, talking, laughing and crafting. The food was absolutely amazing. James who runs the retreat does all the cooking from scratch and it was the most delicious meals I’ve had. I wanted to bring him home to do the cooking for me. When you see the photos you might want to come next year with us. We already have the date set and I have it on my calendar ready to go. We’d love to have you join us, all you would have to do is join our team. Interested??? Drop me a line and I’d be happy to talk to you about it and now is the best time to join in with earning the additional bundle with your starter kit. I hope you enjoy the photos I took.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I had a very embarrassing moment yesterday. My alarm went off it’s normal 5am. I got myself up and dressed, ate breakfast and went to work. The only problem was, I was off yesterday and I work today. I knew something was wrong when I tried to open the door to go into the store and it was still locked. The managers I usually work with get in at 7:30, and hour and a half before the store opens. The manager that worked yesterday never gets there until 8:45, 15 minutes before the store opens. So I had another rainy/stormy day to work on cards and some other things I’ve been wanting to get to. Needless to say, I’ll be at work all day today.

I have another Christmas card for you today. I figured I really need to get myself going with these cards and since the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is in full swing and full of wonderful Christmas sets, now’s the time. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set (one of my absolute favorites) along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the bottom half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the right side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the top half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, lining up the package with the top of the skirt, on the Basic White panel. I colored the image in using my Ivory, Mint Macaron and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on the top of the panel in Mossy Meadow Ink.

I stamped the skirt image from the bottom half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on a small panel of Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the skirt using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Christmas Tree Dies, I cut the large tree die from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock and the garland die from a panel of the Silver Foil Specialty Pack. I adhered the garland to the tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the tree to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I fussy cut multiple presents from a panel of Whimsy & Wonder Sped DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered some of the presents on the stamped image using Stampin’ Seal and some under the tree using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered more of the presents I had fussy cut, from the panel of Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP using my Paper Snips, on the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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!!

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 my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Bundle along with the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here are our colors for this week.

I started by embossing a Soft Succulent card front using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large and small flower images from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. Using my Harvest Dies, I cut out the stamped images, the branches from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and the wheat die from panels of Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent cardstock. I arranged the dies the way I wanted them and adhered them to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a bow from a piece of 3/8″ Diamond Weave Ribbon and Crumb Cake bakers twine, from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack, and adhered it to the bottom of the arranged flowers using a Glue Dot.

I adhered a small piece of the Cork Specialty Paper just under the Harvest Meadow DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using my Harvest Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent Stampin Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the smaller flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Marker and my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have a rainy day off from work today, so that means I get craft time, YAY!!! I love getting lost at my crafting table for hours on end, when I can.

I have a fall card for you today. I thought it was time to really get into the fall and holiday cards. I need to get myself a little ahead so I’m not scrambling when it gets closer to Christmas. Here’s my card for today.

I used the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Brushed Metallic mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Brushed Metallic mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Rich Razzleberry card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of the Gold Shimmer Vellum using the largest leaf die from the Beautiful Leaves Dies. I snipped the die using my Paper Snips and set it aside. On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry Ink.

I adhered the vellum leaf die to the back of the sentiment using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the large floral image from Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set on either side of the panel in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamped off 3 times on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Rich Razzleberry card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my envelope I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the envelope front multiple times without reinking the stamp. I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty 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!!

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already and on our way to the weekend. Another month flying by.

I have a fall card for you today. I’m working my way to the holiday cards. I just haven’t been able to get into making them yet with how hot it’s been. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I joined in with The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge ‘LEAF it to chance…’

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste DSP to an Early Espresso panel using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the leaf and splotch images from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Inks randomly around. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Early Espresso Ink towards the bottom of the panel. I embossed the panel using my Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the panel to the card front on an angle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed the Very Vanilla panel using my Paper Snips to be even with the card front.

I wrapped a length of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 of the small leaf dies from the Intricate Leaves Dies, from scraps of Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the leaves under the bow using Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the leaf and splotch images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Crushed Curry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves and splotch images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List

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 my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nuts About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper.

Our theme for this week is Critters. I used squirrels for my critters.

I started by cutting a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP using the Picture This Dies.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I adhered 2 panels of the Beauty of The Earth DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the branch image from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink to the right of the branch. I stamped the vines of the leaves in Old Olive Ink on the branch and the leaf over the vine in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered the die cut card front to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the 2 squirrel images from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the leaf vine image 3 times in Old Olive Ink and the leaf image over the vine in Bumblebee Ink with Cajun Craze Ink sponged around the edges. I stamped the fill image for the squirrels in Sahara Sand Ink on both squirrels. I stamped the top of the acorn image in Soft Suede Ink and the bottom in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once. I fussy cut the squirrels and leaves out using my Paper Snips. I adhered the squirrels in the top and bottom opening using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves on the branch using Glue Dots. I added a few of the Brushed Metallic Dots to my card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I stamped the squirrel image from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the fill image in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the acorn top in Soft Suede Ink and the bottom in Soft Suede Ink, stamped off once. I stamped the tree branch image from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the leaf vines in Old Olive Ink and the leaves in Bumblebee and Cajun Craze Inks. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the squirrel images from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the fill image in Sahara Sand Ink and the acorn in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the envelope flap.
