Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Thank You

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all making some fun plans for this weekend now that it’s starting to warm up a little. Last I heard it’s suppose to be a nice weekend here in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. I’m loving that it doesn’t get dark until after 8:30pm now and it’s light at 5:30am when I get up. I just LOVE this time of the year.

Today’s card is using items that will be retiring at the end of the month. I still have a bit of DSP left from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog that I want to use up. I don’t know why I’m always waiting till the end of a catalog to use it. The stamp sets I used will also be retiring. If these are sets you like, grab them while you still can. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals just on the side edges of the sentiment. I added a few Resin Hearts Embellishments to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the mushroom image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Snail Mail 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. Don’t forget, these items will be retiring June 30th. If this is a stamp set or Designer Series Paper that you like, don’t wait. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss out on them! Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Snailed It 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, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Snail Mail Suite for my card today. This suite is only available until June 30th.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #258.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It 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 sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom and snail image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. For the snails body, I used my Water Painters filled with alcohol and some Blushing Bride Ink on one of my blocks. I cut the images out using my Snail Dies and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front I tied a small double bow using the Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the retiring Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail 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! Snailed It

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has your weekend started off? I have off today, YAY!! I’ll be doing a lot of cleaning at home though. We’re finally done with all the work in my house, so it’s time to start putting things back together. Yesterday was very productive for me. I filled multiple bags and boxes for good will with coats and clothes and many other items. I figured now is the best time to really clean things out since we had to move and empty so many things.

For today, I played with a set that I kind of pushed to the side. I really like it too, so I don’t know why I haven’t used it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Suite for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock I cut multiple envelopes using the Snail Dies. I adhered them to a Blushing Bride card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and cut the panel down to 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″.

I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the stamp die from the Snail Dies. I embossed a panel of Real Red card stock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Basic White stamp die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Snail Die and adhered it to the Real Red panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a small panel of Real Red cardstock using the stitched rectangle from the Snail Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Snailed It stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the rectangle. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered it under the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Resin Hearts to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a panel of the Snail Mail DSP. I stamped the mushroom image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snail Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the DSP panel to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and the to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail 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! Color and Contour Triple Time

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? With warmer weather coming hopefully everyone will start to be doing some fun things on the weekends.

I have a triple time card for you today using another new set and the new In-Colors from the new 2021-2020 Annual Catalog. I’ve been using the dies a lot that go with this bundle, now I thought I’d use the stamp set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour Photopolymer Stamp Set for my triple time stamp card. I used 4 of the 5 new 2021-2023 In-Colors for my stamping today.

I started by adhering the 3 Basic White panels together with the tiniest amount of Stampin’ Seal so that i could easily take them apart after stamping on them.

I first stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the smallest panel. I stamped the outline flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks randomly around the panels. I then stamped the outline leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flowers. I took the panels apart and adhered the smallest and middle panels to Soft Succulent mats using Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the matted panels together, making sure to match up the stamped images, using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon around the stamped and matted panels and tied a small bow. I adhered the layers to a Soft Succulent card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set on the panel in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Inks and the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I randomly stamped the outlined flower image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the leaf image from the Color & Contour stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink around the flower images.

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

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery 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, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Bundle along with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink card front from the Fine Art Floral DSP to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut another panel of the Fine Art Floral DSP using the new Scalloped Contour Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo, stamping off once. I stamped the detail flower image in Poppy Parade Ink over the Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the stem image from the Arty Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the images out using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the stem to the scalloped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the flower on top of the stem using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a double bow using the gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack and adhered it to the stem using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off twice, on the side of the panel. I stamped the detail flower image in Poppy Parade Ink, stamping off once, over the Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off twice, under the flower. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink stamping off twice, on the envelope front. I stamped the detail flower image over the Flirty Flamingo in Poppy Parade Ink stamping off once. I stamped the stem image below the flower in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off twice. I adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Dragonfly

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to turn your clocks ahead? I made sure I did all of mine before retiring last night. I love this time of year, getting up in the daylight and it staying light out later at night. How about you, which time of year do you prefer?

I have a quick card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #633. These colors give me that summer feeling.

I played along with Just Us Girls Trend Week Challenge #575. Use and Embossing Folder.

I also played along with Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges #270. Their Theme is Sky High – anything That Flies.

I started by embossing a Crumb Cake card front using the Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder. On an panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I punched the sentiment out using my Label Me Fancy Punch. I punched both sides of the sentiment using the Label Me Fancy Punch again and threaded a length of Seaside Spray 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon through.

I wrapped the ribbon around the card front securing it on the back of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Seaside Spray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Basic Gray Ink twice. I punched both dragonflies out using my Dragonfly Punch. I colored one of the dragonfly’s wings using my Clear Wink of Stella brush and Seaside Spray Ink (which I put on a clear block). Using my Bone Folder, I fluffed the wings of the colored dragonfly and adhered just the bodies of the dragonflies together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the dragonfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to my card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set on the panel in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front and the envelope flap.

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

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. We’ve had a couple beautiful days here. It’s been in the 60’s and tomorrow it’s suppose to go up to the 70’s, but then it’s back down to the 40’s for the weekend and next week.

Today’s card is using 3 of the retiring 2019-2021 In-Colors. These colors will be retiring May 3rd, if there are colors you really like, now is the time to stock up. Here’s my card for today.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem image from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Rococo Rose Ink, stamping off once.

I adhered the stem and flower image to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Butterfly Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink in the center of a Basic White panel.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms CAS Thank You

Good Monday morning everyone. How was your weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? It was a cold one here, but it’s going to warm up to the 60’s this week, YAY!!! That means we’re finally getting a little bit of spring.

I have a clean and simple, quick and easy card for you today. As you know, the 2019-2021 In-Colors will soon be retiring. Today’s card features one of the retiring colors. If you like any of the retiring colors, now is the best time to stock up. Here’s my card for you.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set for my card today. I also used the 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by stamping the flower image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Purple Posy 2019-2021 In-Color DSP card front. I adhered it to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the card front to a Purple Posy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the flower image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Basic White panel, stamping off 3 times on scrap paper first. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink over the flower image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gorgeous Grape mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Purple Posy card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my QAE card and will try it out. Happy Stamping!!
