Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend!! Hope you have some fun plans. I’m working today, but tomorrow is my team meeting via zoom. I always look forward to my meetings. 1- I get to take the day off from both jobs and 2- I get to see a lot of my team members in person and always have a lot of fun ‘getting together’ with them.

I have a CAS card for you today that we made at my class on Tuesday night. I thought this would be a great way to show the ladies how to use some of our beautiful Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card for today.

I used the 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 Cinnamon Cider card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to a Cinnamon Cider mat and adhered the layered panel to the card front.

On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Harvest Dies I adhered a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the top of the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, and cut the image out using my Beautiful Leaves Dies. I adhered the bird to the end of the sentiment using a Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, above the sentiment. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Inspired Thoughts for Fun Fold Friday Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all weekend.

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! Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle, the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set along with the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I joined in with Creative Creases #18

I started by adhering a Blackberry Beauty DSP card front to a Cinnamon Cider mat and then to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I cut the sentiment out using my Tasteful Labels Dies.

I adhered a length of the Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front then adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I adhered 2 panels of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to Early Espresso mats and then to the inside of the Rich Razzleberry card base. I scored & cut a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock as follows. First score the panel at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″. Make a little tick mark on the short edge 1 1/2″ up from the bottom. Cut from the tick mark to the upper left corner on a diagonal. The 2 1/8″ & 6 3/8″ score lines are valley folds and the 4 1/4″ score line is a mountain fold. I cut a panel of Early Espresso cardstock by making a tick mark on the short edge 1 1/4″ up from the bottom. Cut from the tick mark to the upper left corner on a diagonal. Cut the panel in 2″ intervals. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock by making a tick mark 1 1/8″ up from the bottom of the short edge. I cut from the tick mark to the upper left corner on a diagonal. Cut the panel in 1 7/8″ intervals. Emboss the 2 center Very Vanilla panels using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere the Very Vanilla panels to the Early Espresso mats. Adhered the layered panels to the Rich Razzleberry panel

Adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card base using Tear & Tape on the ends. Once it’s adhered it will look like the above picture.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock stamp the larger floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off once. Stamp the smaller floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once. Stamp the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once. Cut all the images out using the Beautiful Leaves Dies. Adhered the die cut images to the center embossed panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink and cut the sentiment out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. Adhered the sentiment to the top of the inner panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front. I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, stamping off once, on the opposite side of the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Watercolor

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ve got the day off today and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful fall day. Unfortunately my husband is sick and my daughter is going to work, so I’ll just have to stay in and make some cards. I may run a couple errands just to get out for a bit.

Today and tomorrow’s cards are a CASE from my upline Jaimie. Last week we had our monthly team meeting and she showed us a card using the Water Painters. I have to admit, since I’ve gotten all the Stampin’ Blends Markers I haven’t water colored. That was always my go to for relaxing. I changed my card up a bit from hers, but it’s basically the same. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set along with my Water Painters and other sets for my card today.

I started with a Shimmery White card front and one of my acrylic blocks. Using my Ink Refills, I put a drop of Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya in on the block. Making sure my largest Water Painter was really wet, you might want to have a little bowl of water handy, I lifted some of the Cajun Craze Ink and brushed it across the Shimmery White paper. I did the same with the Pumpkin Pie Ink and the Pale Papaya Ink, blending the inks together in between them. You can either let it dry on it’s own or use setting #1 on your Heat Tool to dry the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink below the brushed ink on an angle. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya card stock to a Cajun Craze card base on an angle.

Using the 4th largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I cut the inked panel. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya cardstock using the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. From a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I cut the 4th largest circle using the Layering Circles Dies. From the Shimmery White circle I cut the leaf die using my Intricate Leaves Dies. I adhered the Pale Papaya circle to the card front over the cut area. I adhered the scalloped circle over the Pale Papaya making sure the stripes from the brushed ink lined up. I adhered the leaf cut circle die over the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front over the Pale Papaya panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the trio leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set on either side of the sentiment, coloring the stamp using my Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the trio leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set, colored the same as I did for the card, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze from the Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Pretty Pumpkin 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 my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins Cling Stamp Set the Stampin’ Up! Encircled in Friendship Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

These are the beautiful colors we had to work with this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered card front to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Everyday Label Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few of the gold leaves from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack to the card front under the label using Glue Dots. I added a few gold Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the fern image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off twice on scrap paper, on the side of the panel. I adhered a strip of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the fern image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink, stamping off once, to the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

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! Seasons of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Our Theme this week is Autumn/Harvest.

I started by adhering a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the fall image from the Seasons of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. The die wasn’t the size that I wanted, so I cut the top half, moved the die to the size I wanted lining up the stitches, turned the image and cut the bottom half. I adhered the artwork to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my Playful Alphabet Dies, I cut the letters from a panel of Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow cardstocks. I adhered the letters together making a shadow effect using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the letters to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the large splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment . I stamped the small trio of leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth 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 all our projects today.

If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Cling Stamp Set along with the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

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

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words SAB Host stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set is using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out with the Ornate Frames Dies. I cut the detailed frame from a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock using my Ornate Frames Dies and adhered the sentiment to the center using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a length of 3/8″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the framed sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Rich Razzleberry Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered a strip of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Rich Razzleberry mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set multiple times on the envelope front in Rich Razzleberry Ink without reinking. I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Thank You

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend already. I’m so excited, tomorrow I’ll be heading down the shore for the day. It’s our 1st, and probably last, time this summer. The beach is my happy place. I get lost in my thoughts listening to the waves and taking long walks along the water. I’m so looking forward to going.

Today’s card we made last night at our team meeting. My team leader, Jaimie, decided to do some mystery stamping. She gave us all the cardstock and DSP measurements. We had to pick the stamp set and colors we wanted and she talked us through making our cards. All our cards were different, but yet the same. It was so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again. Here’s the card I made.

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

I started by randomly stamping the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the panel using my Timework Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I cut the artwork into 1″ strips using my Paper Trimmer and adhered them to the Basic White mat, leaving a tiny space between the strips, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Ornate Frames Dies. I adhered a length of Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the top of the artwork using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon 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 Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set on the envelope front in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent Inks. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow 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!!

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom of the rectangle. I stamped the leafy image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the side of the sentiment. I stamped the floral leaf image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the other side of the sentiment. On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bird image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink and cut it out using the Beautiful Leaves Dies.

I adhered the stitched rectangle to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the top of the layered panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bird to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel.

I adhered a strip of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leafy image from the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the envelope 3 times without reinking the stamp.
