Good Friday morning my fellow stampers. How was your week? Are you happy the weekend is finally here? Has anyone made fun plans? I’m hoping to get a little crafting in myself, but we’ll see.
For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up Heartland Stamp Set to make a masculine card for you. This can be a Father’s Day card, Birthday, Thinking of you, or anything else you can think of.
I also joined in with a couple challenges today. 1st is the CAS Colour & Sketch Challenge # 309. Be sure to stop by to see what everyone has made and to play along. Here are their colors for the challenge.
The next is Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #209. Be sure to stop by here too and see what everyone has made and to play along. Here is their challenge.
I started by adhering a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using Snail. On another smaller piece of Wood Textures DSP I stamped the little boy with the ducks from the Heartland stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the right side. I colored the little boy in with my Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker and my light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker. I then adhered the panel to the bottom of the Pear Pizzazz card front using Snail.
I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the seam twice and tied a small bow. I adhered the card front to a So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tractor with the dog from the Heartland stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the tractor in using my Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker and my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampn’ Blends Marker. Using my Big Shot, I cut the image out with my Square Stitched Shaped Framelits Dies and I adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the tractor image from the Heartland stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off twice, in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Part Of My Story Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink over the tractor. This stamp set is a Sale-A-Bration item free with a $50 order.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tractor image from the Heartland stamp set on the front of the envelope. I adhered a piece of Wood Textures DSP to the envelope flap.

I started with a panel of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the house image from the Stampin’ Up By The Bay Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. This beautiful stamp set is a FREE item with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. I just love this image and would absolutely love to be in that house looking out at the bay right now. On a smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the seagull image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Using my Aqua Painter filled with Alcohol, I water colored the images in using Balmy Blue, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede Inks. To get the ink I squeezed the stamp pad before opening it so that ink goes on the inside of the lid. I used my Aqua Painter to pick up the ink to color my picture with. When I was done with each color, I wiped the lid with paper towel to make sure ALL alcohol was off the lid before closing it. You do not want to get alcohol in your ink. Once I was done watercoloring my pictures I cut them out using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. I adhered the house and bay image to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and I adhered the seagull image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the By The Bay stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the seashell from the same stamp set to the right of the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink. I edged the strip using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to give it a little dimension. I then adhered the sentiment to the card front, sliding it under the seagull image, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached a small bow made of Linen Thread to the sentiment strip using a Glue Dot.
On the inside I stamped the house image from By The Bay stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping it off once, in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the house image.
Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, welcome and be sure to hop around and see all the beautiful projects that everyone has made. If you are hopping over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog. The 2nd Tuesday of every month this amazing group of ladies puts together a blog hop and you are guaranteed to see a lot of gorgeousness. This months theme is ‘Birthday’. I made a fun fold card for today’s blog hop. I saw this design on Pinterest, but can not remember who made it. Here is my card.
There are a lot of pieces to my card and all the measurements are found below. I started with a Highland Heather panel of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Basic Black mat using Snail. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Humming Along Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I punched the sentiment out using the Pretty Label Punch. I punched out 2 more of the labels from my Basic Black cardstock.
Using the Butterfly Duet Punch, I punched out some butterflies from a couple different Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration item). The great thing about this punch is it not only punches out the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set it also fits the butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP which is a FREE item with a $50 during Sale-A-Bration. I adhered 2 small and 1 large butterfly to the card front and 1 small butterfly to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added one of the Butterfly Elements (another Sale-A-Bration item) behind the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also added one of the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the sentiment. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I adhered 2 panels of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to Basic Black mats using Snail and I adhered them both to either side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using my Big Shot I cut out 4 stitched squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies in the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP. I adhered all 4 of them to a Basic Black mat and a Highland Heather mat both cut from my Layering Squared Framelits Dies, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a butterfly punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP, to each of the squares using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to each of the squares. I adhered a Basic Black strip of paper, which had been scored, to the inside only adhering it on the 2 end sections. I adhered each of the squares to a section of the Basic Black strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Here is a top view of the inside.
After I was all finished with the inside I realized that I didn’t leave a spot to put a sentiment or write, So I added another panel to the back.
I adhered a panel of the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP to a Basic Black mat using Snail. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a couple more of the butterflies punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhered them to the Whisper White panel and cut off what over hung using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card back using Snail and adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
