Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Monochromatic Card

Posted on by
10

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s Valentine’s Day. I hope your Valentine treated you extra special.

Today’s card is very similar to Sunday’s card with an added mat. Let me know which one you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Cling Stamp Set along with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Blender Pen for my card today. This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration Host set and can be earned with a qualifying party or order of $300.

I started by stamping the floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. Using my Blender Pen and my Craft White Ink, I colored the flowers. I cut the image out using my Nature’s Thoughts Dies and adhered it to a Soft Suede mat.

I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using my Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Soft Suede card base. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Soft Suede cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled in Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the end using my Banner Pick A Punch and adhered it to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set over the sentiment in Soft Suede Ink, stamping off on scrap paper 3 times. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged them using my Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked this version of my card and will give it a try. Let me know which one you liked better. I’m still deciding which is my favorite. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Valentine

Posted on by
2

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I ended up working all day yesterday and it was like watching paint dry. There were customers, but it seemed like 1 would come in and check out then the next one would come in. Everyone buying salt, shovels and things to fix their snow blower. I have off today though YAY!!

I played with one of the DSP’s from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I don’t usually make Valentine cards, but I’ve made a few this year. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Bundle along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper or my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape card base. I adhered 1 long panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to a Gorgeous Grape mat and adhered it to the left side of the card front.

I adhered 2 smaller panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to Gorgeous Grape mats and adhered them to the right side of the card front.

I cut and embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Gorgeous Grape ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Bouquet of Love Dies and adhered it to the center of the heart. I adhered the heart to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP on the envelope front and a panel on 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

Posted on by
13

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. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Colors.

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.

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! Jar of Flowers

Posted on by
15

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope you were able to take some time for yourself.

Today’s card I used an older set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, using all the new 2021-2023 in-Colors. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set for today’s card.

My design is from the Just Add Ink Challenge #558.

I also played along with Inspire. Create Challenge #092.

I started by adhering a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Seal. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using my Layering Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to the scalloped mat using Stampin’ Seal then to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I made a small bow using the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the 2021-2023 In-Color DSP to the bottom of 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 flower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the 2021-2023 In-Color 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! Encircled In Friendship for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
14

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I think most of us may have had a short week, which I love. I’ll be working only on Sunday this weekend, so it’s really a short week for me. Does anyone have any plans yet?

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! Encircled In Friendship Bundle along with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.

My design is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #365.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketch Challenge #422.

I started by embossing both sides of a Soft Succulent card base using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to a Thick Basic White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of the Gorgeous Grape Ombre Specialty Paper to a small Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum Paper to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal just on the center of the panel. I adhered the matted panel to the Ombre card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock using the middle Encircled In Beauty Dies. Using my Layering Circle Dies I cut a Basic White circle that would fit in the center of the detailed die. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of the circle. I stamped the single flower image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the detailed die using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On the inside of the small card base I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the small card base to the matted panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom front of a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the 2021- 2023 In-Color 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. 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working tomorrow and Sunday all day.

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. Sorry about the couple hiccups. 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 new Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Bundle for my Tower card today along with the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper.

This is the template for the card with all the measurements.

I started by folding and cutting the card base. I scored across the 8 1/4″ side at 1″, 2″, 3″, 5 1/4″, 6 1/4″ & 7 1/4″. I cut on the 5 1/2″ side from the 1″ score line to the 3″ score line & from the 5 1/4″ score line to the 7 1/4″ score line at 1/2″, 1″, 1 1/2″, 2″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 4 1/2″ & 5″.

I adhered the panels of Expressions In Ink DSP to the Basic Black mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panels to the Pale Papaya card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a strip of an adhesive sheet to the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the panel of Basic White cardstock using the Encircled In Beauty Dies. I adhered the detailed framed circle to the card front by peeling the adhesive sheet off the back and centering it on the front. I cut just the center of the die from a panel of Basic Black cardstock. I took the Basic White center and cut it down using my Layering Circles Dies. I stamped the sentiment and the single flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Friendship Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White circle. I colored the flower using my Just Jade and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White circle to the Basic Black mat by peeling the adhesive sheet off the back. I adhered the matted artwork to the center of the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the flower using a Glue Dot.

On the back panel I stamped the sentiment and floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. I colored the floral image in using my Just Jade, Pale Papaya & Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Polish Pink 2021-2023 In- Color Jewels to the back panel.

To complete my card I stamped the floral image from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White Medium Envelope front. I colored the image in using my Just Jade, Pale Papaya & Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Expressions In Ink 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. Happy Stamping!!
