Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello CAS Birthday

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in store for today and tomorrow. I’m working today, but have no plans yet for tomorrow.

Well, we are down to the last few days of Sale-a-bration. I have a couple more cards using Sale-a-bration items for you. Today’s mostly focuses on the DSP. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today. Both of these items are Sale-a-bration items and are free with a qualifying order of $100.

I started by adhering a panel of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to a Shaded Spruce card base. I adhered a smaller panel of the Friendly Hello DSP to a Shaded Spruce mat.

I wrapped a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Tasteful Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Friendly Hello DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Friendly Hello DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! Friendly Hello 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 Theme Challenge. I’ve been using Sale-a-bration items all this week since it’s the last week to earn them. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my Spring themed card today. Robins are a sure sign of Spring here in New Jersey.

Our Theme this week is Spring.

I played along with TGIF Inspiration Challenge #356.

I started by adhering a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to a Pool Party card base. I adhered a small panel of the Friendly Hello DSP to a Pool Party mat and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bird on the branch, flowers and leaf images from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped 2 of the solid leaves from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the panel. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using my Paper Snips. I arranged the images on the card front and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bird on the branch image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set on the top of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the large floral image and the leaf image from the Friendly Hello stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink by the flowers. I colored the images in using my Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Friendly Hello 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! Love & Happiness 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 Karen Finkle’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. I decided to make an Anniversary card using our theme.  Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my card today.

Our theme is LOVE this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to a Basic Gray card base. I adhered 2 more panels of the Friendly Hello DSP to Basic Gray mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the longer panel to the card front first, then the shorter panel on top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a Heart & Home Doily I masked off the circle by cutting a circle in the center of a Post-It Note and placing it over the doily. I stamped the bird image from the from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Versamark Ink on the doily. I removed the mask and immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the doily to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the tiny berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Friendly Hello 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! Friendly Hello 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 Sketch Challenge and it’s my favorite kind!!! 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 week’s Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to a Fresh Freesia card base.

I cut another panel of the Friendly Hello DSP using the 4th largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest long Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered the sentiment to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the Silver Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim to the panel of DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered 2 strips of the Friendly Hello DSP to either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Friendly Hello 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! Friendly Hello Sneak Peek for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jillian Good’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Sale-a-bration Bundle for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper (which is part of the bundle), to a Pool Party card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bird on the branch image from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the artwork to a scalloped circle which I cut from a panel of Basic White cardstock using the coordinating die from the Layering Circles Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it our using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some of the new Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flower centers and sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered 2 strips of the Friendly Hello DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them using my Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to the envelope flap.
