Stampin’ Up! Layers Of Beauty for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
10

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

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #206 is April Flowers. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Layers Of Beauty Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the New Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Bundle and the New Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (both items will be available starting May 1st), along with the Nested Essentials Dies and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card. I was inspired by the flowers in the photo and the colors of the flowers for my Clean and Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 206.  How are you inspired by the photos?

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic Whtie Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink. Using Blending Brushes and the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks, I added Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Inks. I cut the image out using the Layers of Beauty Dies.

I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the small flower centers.

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! Unbounded Love Baby Card

Posted on by
4

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day, sunny and cool all day. I was out multiple times taking Cora for little walks. For the most part, I was in my craft studio designing cards for an upcoming vendor event. The event is next month and I’ll be holding classes at it. I’ll be doing a beginner class, an intermediate and an advanced. I had to get cards designed for each of the classes so I could send them pictures to advertise with.

Today’s card is one of the cards I designed for one of the classes next month. I’m trying to get a variety of cards. Since the event is at the end of the month, I needed to use products that I know will be available, and this DSP is one that will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the DSP panel to the Basic White embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set and the Something Fancy stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the eggs using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled CAS

Posted on by

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I stayed in most of yesterday, it was too cold and windy out for me. I can handle some cold, but when it’s windy out too I end up with a migraine, so best to stay indoors.

Today’s card I played with one of my favorite sets from the annual catalog and made a CAS card with it. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set along with the Online Exclusives Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my CAS card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #618

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the line image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink 3 times on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the line images. I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the bottom of the panel.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed the artwork panel using the Basics EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added an Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewel to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the leaf image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the large flower image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink over the leaf image on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin' Up! Inked & Tiled CAS 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the 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.

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It was a busy day at work yesterday which made the day go by fast. Walking into work I had my coat open since it was almost 60 out. Walking home from work I was zipped up and walking really fast since the temperature dropped to the 30’s and was extremely windy. I’ll be staying in today since it’s supposed to be cold outside, and I do not like the cold.

I have a quick card today using a new set that I just received last week. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Heartfelt Hellos Cling Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Online Exclusive Basic 3D Embossing Folders.

My design is from Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #638.

I used the colors from Colours & Sketch Challenge #528.

I also played along with Just Us Girls #709 Word Week, which was Sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Basics EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut panel to the card front like a diamond using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the teacup image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Highland Heather and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Hellos stamp set in Berry Burst Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front, one for the flower center.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I stamped the teacup image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Berry Burst mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the teacup image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Berry Burst, Highland Heather and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Delightful Floral DSP to the envelope flap.

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.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you went into a food coma after dinner? My puppy definitely did. I bought her one of the Barksgiving dinners that we make at the Hungry Hound and gave her part of it. She was out cold afterwards lol. We had a relaxing day starting off with watching the Macy’s Parade like we always do. I’ve been to NYC a couple times to watch the parade, now I enjoy watching it in the warmth of my home. I was able to get all my normal decorations packed up and put in the attic, I cleaned and moved furniture around getting ready to decorate for Christmas today. Luckily, I have off on Sunday, and I’ll be able to finish whatever I don’t get done today then. Is anyone heading out for Black Friday shopping today? Maybe taking advantage of some good deals.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Glorious Gingham 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and the Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

The colors for my card are from Global Design Project Challenge #421.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering the panels of Glorious Gingham DSP to Basic White mats. I adhered the layered panels to the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Pool Party, I stamped the can image from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Sparkling Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink. I cut the image out using the Simply Sparkling Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Versamark Ink on the can. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Simply Sparkling Dies, I cut the cherries from a scrap of Poppy Parade, the lime and leaves from a panel of Lemon Lime Twist and the can top, bottom, tab and bubbles from a panel of Holographic Trio spec paper. I adhered the can top, bottom and tab to the can using Liquid Glue. I colored the leaves for the lime using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the stems and leaves to the cherries and lime using Liquid Glue. I adhered the cherries and lime to the can using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Small Blending Brush I added Pool Party Ink to the center of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the small Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the bubble to the panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the can to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the small Poppy Parade to the card base using Tear & Tape. On another Basic White panel, I used the Small Blending Brush and added a little Pool Party Ink to the center. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink on an angle. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, by the sentiment. I colored the images in using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. On the last Basic White panel, I stamped the sentiments from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the bubble image from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Pool Party Ink next to the sentiments. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Basic White mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside back panel of the Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment panel to the inside back of the card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Simply Sparkling Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Toi finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cherries and lime images from the Simply Sparkling stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Artistic Dies, Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing an Earthen Elegance DSP card front using the Basics EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, then cut out the leaf die from the Artistic Dies. I adhered the leaf die to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the same panel of Earthen Elegance DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the die cut leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of Earthen Elegance DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know CAS 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

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! Magical Meadow Hello

Posted on by
6

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off good. It’s still raining here in NJ. I’m really hoping it stops soon, I know rain is good, but this is getting old.

I played with some new items again for today’s card including another one of the Online Exclusive DSP’s. If you’d like to see a quick video of my card, click HERE to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set, Rustic Crate Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Tartan Foil Specialty Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Copper Clay card front using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered a panel of Tartan Foil Paper to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Gue. I adhered the layered panel to a Copper Clay mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Night of Navy, I cut the 4 sprig dies from the Magical Meadow Dies and the sentiment from the Rustic Crate Dies. I adhered the sprigs to the card front just under the bow.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel. I adhered the layered card front panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the foliage images from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Night of Navy Ink, one stamped off 2 times on scrap paper, one stamped off 1 time on scrap paper and 1 full strength. I adhered the Basic Whtie Panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the foliage images from the Magical Meadow stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Tartan Foil Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I ho9pe you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
18

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Garden Walk 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Deckled Circles Dies, Bough Punch and Basics 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

These are out colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a panel of Pretty Peacock using the Basics 3D EF. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered a panel of Garden Walk DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liqiud Glue. I adhered another panel of Garden Walk DSP to a Wild Wheat mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink 3 times. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outline leaf image. I stamped the small flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the panel 3 times. I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Circles Dies. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the circle. I cut all the leaves and flowers out using the Bough Punch. You may have to cut the cardstock to get them in the punch properly. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. trim off any excess with Paper Snips. I adhered the circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Calypso Coral 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the bottom of the circle using a Glue Dot. I added a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Prety Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outline leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the flower image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink. I randomly stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Wild Wheat mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaves and flowers from the Layering Leaves stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Garden Walk DSP to the envelope flap.
