Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope everyone has a productive week. Is everyone getting their shopping lists ready? ONE week before the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes live. I can’t wait to get lots of new products.

For today I decided to play with a bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It’s a pretty quick card too. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for my card along with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting the center of a Ice Cream Corner DSP card front using my Hippo & Friends Dies. I adhered the card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ice cream cone from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail cone image in Cinnamon Cider Ink on top of the solid image and punched the cone out using my Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream scoop image from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Petal Pink and Pool Party Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and punched them out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.

I adhered the Pool Party ice cream to the cone using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sprinkles from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the Petal Pink ice cream and adhered it on top of the Pool Party scoop using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the ice cream cone to the opening of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the bottom of the cone using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the ends.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Ice Cream Corner 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!!

Changes To The Upcoming July-December Mini Catalog And Second Sale-a-bration


Stampin’ Up! has shared the following update with us related to the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog and second Sale-a-bration this year.  With the global shipping delays, they will be moving the start dates for those two publications back by one month.  Here are the details from Stampin’ Up!:

We’ve recently been made aware that, due to the current global shipping crisis tied to the COVID pandemic, we are not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for the upcoming July–December 2021 Mini Catalog or July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration in time for the catalog launches. After careful consideration we have decided to push the launches of both publications back by one month to allow time for inventory to be received.
 
Change Details

  • The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will in effect become the August–December 2021 Mini Catalog (though the title of the publication will not change).
    • Demonstrator Preorder: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Sales Period: August 3, 2021– January 3, 2022
  • July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration will in effect become August–September 2021 Sale-A-Bration.
    • Demonstrator Pre-earn: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
    • Customer Earning Period: August 3, 2021 – September 30, 2021

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! made the decision to move the catalog timing back by a month in order to minimize those frustrating backorders and unavailable items!  Let me know if you have questions about this.  Can’t wait to see the upcoming Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs this summer!  And as always, I’ll get those catalogs mailed out to you just as quickly as I can once I get them in early July!

Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Mother’s Day CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are doing some fun things, hiking, gardening or maybe just relaxing. I’ll be at work all day today, but yesterday I had a very productive day. I did a little of everything, inside and out. I’m still trying to get my house back in order since all the workers are done. That’s not going to happen in 1 or 2 days though. I was able to spend a little time outside cutting the grass and gardening a little.

For today’s card I used a set that is going to be carrying over to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from The Spot Challenge #158.

I started by adhering a panel of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies. I stamped the smallest peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Petal Pink Ink and adhered the die cut to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I adhered the strip to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a small bow using the 5/8″ Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small peony from the Prized Peony stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Peony Garden 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! Snailed It

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has your weekend started off? I have off today, YAY!! I’ll be doing a lot of cleaning at home though. We’re finally done with all the work in my house, so it’s time to start putting things back together. Yesterday was very productive for me. I filled multiple bags and boxes for good will with coats and clothes and many other items. I figured now is the best time to really clean things out since we had to move and empty so many things.

For today, I played with a set that I kind of pushed to the side. I really like it too, so I don’t know why I haven’t used it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Suite for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock I cut multiple envelopes using the Snail Dies. I adhered them to a Blushing Bride card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and cut the panel down to 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″.

I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the stamp die from the Snail Dies. I embossed a panel of Real Red card stock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Basic White stamp die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Snail Die and adhered it to the Real Red panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a small panel of Real Red cardstock using the stitched rectangle from the Snail Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Snailed It stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the rectangle. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered it under the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Resin Hearts to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a panel of the Snail Mail DSP. I stamped the mushroom image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snail Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the DSP panel to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and the to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail 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! Pansy Patch Easel Stand Up Card for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? What’s everyone doing for the weekend? As of now, I’m only working on Sunday, so I’m not sure what I’m doing Saturday yet. I have a lot of gardening to do, I just need to get the energy to start.

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. 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 for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Bundle for my Fun Fold card today.

I started with an 8″ X 8″ panel of So Succulent cardstock for my card base.  I scored it at 4″ then turned it and scored at 4″ again.  I then cut from the center down one side only.  On the top portion that was not cut I scored from the outside scored edges to the center top scored edge for the angle fold.  Using my Bone Folder I gave it a good crease on all the score lines.  The 2 straight score lines, I folded in and the 2 angle score lines I folded out.

I cut a panel of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper in half to make 2 triangles for the outside folds.  I adhered the 2 triangle pieces of DSP to the outside folded pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I took a 3″ X 6″ piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and folded it in half.  Using the 3rd largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies, I cut it out not putting the full circle on my paper, letting it hang over the folded edge about 1/4″ so that it would open up like a card.  I folded the top of the scallop circle up and in half meeting the little scallops to make the easel.  I cut another of the same size scallop circle from a piece of the Pansy Petals DSP and adhered it to the top section of the scallop circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using the small circle from the Layering Circle Dies I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock to make the easel stopper.  Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the pansies pieces from a panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut the detailed pieces from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the solid leaves from a panel of So Succulent cardstock and the detailed leaves from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss pieces to the Basic White flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the detailed Evening Evergreen pieces to the Soft Succulent leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the back of the flower using Glue Dots. I added one of the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the center of the flower. I adhered the pansy to the DSP scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals making sure to place it so the card could close properly. I stamped the detailed pansy images from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower center in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink and the detailed leaf image over the solid image in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the images out using my Pansy Dies.  I adhered the stamped pansy to the small circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a panel of Evening Evergreen to the right bottom panel of the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the Evening Evergreen panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just in the center. I adhered the easel piece to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the easel stop piece in front of the easel piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added one of the adorable Bumblebee Trinkets by my pansy using a Glue Dot.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in the center of the panel in Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the 2nd sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink below the 1st. I stamped the detail images of the pansy from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card base, under the easel panel, using Stampin’ Seal.

The card folds up to a 4″ X 4″ square to fit into our Basic White Medium Envelope.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope.  I stamped the detailed pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petal 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.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Products I used for my card today will be available on May 4th. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Prince and Princess 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, 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 amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Prince & Princess Photopolymer Host Stamp Set for my card today along with the new Basic Borders Dies.

Our theme is Things With Wings. Swans have wings, right?

I started by embossing a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the swan image from the Prince & Princess host stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the beak using my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers and added a little color to the feathers using my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the water image below the swan in Pool Party Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Prince & Princess stamp set in Just Jade Ink on either side of the swan image and colored them in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the cattails image on the leaves in Soft Suede Ink and colored them in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Using my new Basic Borders Dies, I cut the Basic White panel on an angle using the cloud looking die. I adhered the artwork to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Prince & Princess stamp set in Just Jade Ink and adhered it to a strip of Just Jade cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment stamp set to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Prince & Princess stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set below the sentiment in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Prince & Princess stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I added the cattails to the leaf image stamping them in Soft Suede Ink and coloring them with my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. 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 Multipurpose Liquid Glue

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the swan image from the Prince & Princess stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the water image below the swan in Pool Party Ink. I colored the beak using my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers and added a little color to the swans feathers using my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped and colored the envelope flap using the leaf and cattails images from the Prince & Princess stamp set.

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! Tranquil Thoughts Mother’s Day

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. Hope you are starting to make plans.

Today’s card is another we made at our class last Monday. This one was a little different. I didn’t show the ladies the card. I handed them an envelope with all the card pieces cut out and gave them 2 stamp sets to choose from to work with and told them to create. One of them had Poppy Parade cardstock and ink and the other had Melon Mambo cardstock and ink. I used Flirty Flamingo for mine. Everyone had the same pieces of True Love Designer Series Paper to use. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the card designs they came up with. None were like mine. Here’s my card for today.

My card used the Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts Bundle. This bundle will be retiring soon, so if it’s one that you like now’s the time to grab it.

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Everyone had the same embossed panel to start with. I adhered s strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the back of the strip of True Love DSP using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink and cut it our using my Tranquil Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel and cut it out using the Layering Circle Dies. I cut a panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock using the next size up Layering Circle Dies and adhered the sentiment to the mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flowers to the side of the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Flirty Flamingo card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Tranquil Thoughts stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the True 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet CAS

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off?

I have a clean and simple card for you today using up some of my retiring Designer Series Paper and I used the Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Cling Stamp Set. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #550.

My design is from Fab Friday Challenge #211.

I also played along with the Tic, Tac Toe Challenge #109. I went down the right side.

I started by adhering a panel of Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the turtle image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the die cut panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Back On Your Feet stamp set above the turtle in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored the image in using my Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from Back On Your Feet stamp set in the center of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a strip of the Brights DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the turtle image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Color and Contour Triple Time

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? With warmer weather coming hopefully everyone will start to be doing some fun things on the weekends.

I have a triple time card for you today using another new set and the new In-Colors from the new 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. I’ve been using the dies a lot that go with this bundle, now I thought I’d use the stamp set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my triple time stamp card. I used 4 of the 5 new 2021-2023 In-Colors for my stamping today.

I started by adhering the 3 Basic White panels together with the tiniest amount of Stampin’ Seal so that i could easily take them apart after stamping on them.

I first stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the smallest panel. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks randomly around the panels. I then stamped the outline leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I took the panels apart and adhered the smallest and middle panels to Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the matted panels together, making sure to match up the stamped images, using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon around the stamped and matted panels and tied a small bow. I adhered the layers to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set on the panel in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I randomly stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower images.

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