Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Are you ready for the week? I’ve got a busy one since it’s the end of the month and beginning.

I have a quick fun fold for you today with a set that I have used before, but I don’t believe I’ve used the bundle. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Bundle along with the Amazing Thanks Dies and Fern 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding my Soft Succulent card base as listed below in the measurements. I stamped the fern image from the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Layers Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Lovely Layers Vellum. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to a Soft Succulent mat. I adhered the layered panel to the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using my Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the sentiment from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock and the bubble from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiments together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 Opal Rounds to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the 1″ panel of Soft Succulent using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the right side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Botanical Layers stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Botanical Layers stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Soft Succulent Ink.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Layers Thanks 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

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.

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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Cup Of Tea Thanks

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy National World Turtle Day. My daughter LOVES turtles so I know this day LOL. How was everyone’s weekend? I enjoyed my day off yesterday. After doing a little cleaning and weeding I got to spend some time at my craft table. I could weed every day and those weeds just don’t go away. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy out there weeding at 6am. I bring my dog out to the backyard and while I’m waiting for her, I pull some weeds. I have multiple flower gardens in my backyard and there always seems to be weeds in them no matter how much I try. Once everything really starts to bloom, I’m hoping you won’t really be able to see the weeds.

I have a quick card today using one of my favorite sets from the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cup Of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies for my card today.

My design is from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #389.

I started by adhering a panel of the Tea Boutique DSP to a Petal Pink card base. I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock to the card front using Stampin’ Seal

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the banner. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the top of the cup. I colored the teacup using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the banner to the card front. I added a few Fun Flowers Resin Shapes to the stamped leaf image.

Using my Amazing Thanks Dies I cut the sentiment from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a Basic White Panel. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the leaf image on top of the teacup in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I colored the image using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the cup. I colored the image using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Tea Boutique 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! Amazing Artfully Layered

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. It’s April 30th and tomorrow is May 1st, that means I work in the office both days. Well, I was supposed to. One of my cashiers called me last night sick, so I’ll be opening today and running a register until another one can get in. Today was going to be a nice easy day, I was going in around noon to get my work done and come home. I’ll now be in early, my cashier said she may not be in until 2-3pm, so I’ll be there till 5pm I guess. I’ll probably take Monday off, but I haven’t decided yet.

I can’t believe we’re at the end of the month again. That means we’re even closer to warmer weather, but better than that, we’re only 3 days away from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog going live YAY!!! Are you getting those shopping lists ready? Mine is 2 pages long. If you have a long list, you might want to be reading the special going on starting May 3rd. All the details are below.

Today’s card was made for someone very special, my upline Jaimie. She just earned the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip and hit a big milestone, she is truly amazing. My card has very little stamping today. I used Designer Series Paper and dies. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Cling Stamp Set along with the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic White card stock using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contour Dies. I adhered a panel of Artfully Composed DSP to the die cut panel. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut the smaller detailed sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. From a panel of Just Jade cardstock I cut the bubble sentiment dies from the Amazing Thanks Dies. I adhered the Basic White detailed to the Just Jade bubble die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Artfully Composed DSP 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 large leaf image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the script image from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the leaf image twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the leaf and script. I adhered a panel of the Artfully Composed 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! Amazing Silhouettes Sneak Peek

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend. I’m scheduled to work both days at both jobs. I’m just taking it really easy since I’m still not doing well.

I have a sneak peek for you today of some goodies coming in the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. When I first saw this set, I was not going to get it. This was a set that we all received at our OnStage event in November. Even when I received it, I just stood and stared at it wondering what to do. Well, here’s what I did with it for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set (a free Sale-a-bration item) along with the Simply Marbleous 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (a free Sale-a-bration item), for my card today.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Challenge #105.

My colors are from TGIF Challenge #345. I really love these colors together.

I started by cutting a Basic White card front on an angle. I cut 1″ down on the right side to 2″ down on the left side. I stamped the larger image from the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the card front to a panel of the new Marbleous 6 X 6 DSP. I wrapped a piece of the new Misty Moonlight 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack, around the panel adhering it in the back. I adhered the card front to a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Using the new Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the bubble letters from a panel of Just Jade cardstock and the detailed letters from a panel of Pool Party cardstock. I adhered the 2 together using tiny amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them 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 Special Moments stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once, to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a strip of the Marbleous DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. The items I used for my card will be available starting January 4, 2022 from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. This might be a set you want to consider getting. It’s a lot prettier in person than I thought it would be and I love the dies. Happy Stamping!!!
