Stampin’ Up! Warm and Toasty for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend? I’m not sure, but I think my husband might be going to cut our tree. I’ll be working all weekend I believe.

I thought I was done making my Christmas cards and my husband asked me to make a card for his department to give their supervisor. 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 very much. 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 that I made. I used a few stamp set for my card, but the main set I used was the Stampin’ Up! Warm & Toasty Cling Stamp Set.

I played along with The Spot Challenge #140. Their theme is Holiday Throwdown (Over the Top Holiday Cards).

I started by adhering 8 panels of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Warm & Toasty stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP. I adhered the DSP to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped 4 of the animal images from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the images in using my Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Just Jade, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using my Paper Snips. Using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut 3 of the snow drift dies from a panel of Whisper White cardstock.

I adhered a strip of Silver Foil sheet to the top snow drift using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the snow drifts together using Glue Dots on the bottom 2 and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top one. I stamped the snow image in Balmy Blue Ink on the drifts to give them a little dimension. I adhered the snow drifts to the card base using Tear & Tape on the top section and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom.

I adhered the cut images to the card front and snow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After I added them I felt like the inside still needed a little something, so I added a tall pine tree I had cut from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Pine Woods Dies. I also stamped the tree cluster image from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered the tall pine tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the tree cluster using Glue Dots.

This is how the card looks when it is sitting on a table, so you can see how it is folded.

On a Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set the the Stampin’ Up! From All Of Us Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink towards the top. I adhered the Whisper white panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin Seal and then adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped 2 of the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink and cut them out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered them to the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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.

Stampin’ Up! In The Pines for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well.  If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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.
Here is our sketch for this week.

Here is my card using this sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Bundle for today’s card. I played along with the Double ‘D’ Challenge. Their theme is Pine Trees and/or Pine Cones. Here is their Mood Board.

I started by adhering a panel of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped 2 of the largest tree and the group of 4 tree outlines from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink. I stamped the fill images for the same trees in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the tall tree outline from In The Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Whisper White panel and the fill image for the same tree in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamped off once. I cut all the trees out using my Pine Woods Dies.

I took another panel of Whisper White cardstock and using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut the 2 snow curve images starting from the bottom. On the remaining cut piece I stamped the group of 4 tree outlines from the In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink, some stamped full and some stamped off, across the panel. I randomly stamped the snow dots image from In The Pines stamp set on the top of the panel in Pool Party Ink, stamped off once. I stamped all over the top of the panel with the same stamp in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the 2 curves to the stamped piece, adhering the 1st one with Glue Dots just on the ends and the top one using Stamping Dimensionals. I lined these up on my Grid Paper so that it measured 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. I stamped the snow drift image from the In The Pines stamp set, where I was going to be placing the die cut trees, in Pool Party Ink on the front panel. I adhered the die cut trees on the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, some behind the drifts and some in front.

On a strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock I stamped the sentiment from In The Pines stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the artwork panel. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wrapped In Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the group of 4 trees outline stamp from In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink across the bottom of the panel stamped in full strength, then stamped again without re-inking. I stamped the snow drift image from In The Pines stamp set below the trees in Pool Party Ink. Using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut the bottom of the panel using the smallest curve die. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small 4 tree outline image from In The Pines stamp set on the envelope front stamped full strength then again without re-inking. I also stamped the single small tree outline image from In The Pines stamp set in Old Olive Ink stamped full strength and again without re-inking. I stamped the snowdrift image from In The Pines stamp set in Pool Party Ink below the trees. I adhered a panel of Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Coming Home Greetings

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? Hope your weekend is going well and you are able to get in some YOU time.

Today I used the Stampin’ Up! Coming Home Bundle for my card. This was one I overlooked the first time looking through the catalog because I didn’t think I would use it. Boy was I ever wrong. Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #393. Here are their colors.

I started by cutting and coloring all my pieces for the card. From a panel of Whisper White cardstock I cut the 2 curved snow images using my Home Together Dies. I stamped the large house image and the car image from the Stampin’ Up! Coming Home Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut them out using my Home Together Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set on the top curve of the plain piece in Night of Navy Ink. I curved the sentiment to match the curve of the snow. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the top of a Night of Navy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the snow curve with the trees to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the house image using Stampin’ Dimensionals then stamped the light image next to the house in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I adhered the plain curved snow die using Stampin’ Dimensionals overlapping the first one. I adhered the car image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampn’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off twice. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off twice, along the bottom of the envelope.

I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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! Seasons Greetings In The Pines

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone doing today?  The weekend is upon us, does anyone have any plans?  It’s suppose to be like a beautiful fall day here.  I’ll be at work all day, but I do have off tomorrow.

Today’s card is the one I made on Wednesday for my Facebook Live video.  If you were able to watch live or the replay, thank you.   You can also watch it on my YouTube channel.  Here is my card.

My design is from Atlantic Hearts Challenge #386.  Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using the Stitched Rectangle Die.  There wasn’t a die the size I needed, so I ran the die partway through my Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine. I moved the die to the size I wanted it matching up the stitches, turned it around and ran it through again only partway.  I adhered the stitched rectangle to a Whisper White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock Using the Pine Woods Dies and adhered it to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock and went around the edges using my Just Jade Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and a Glue Dot.  I stamped the pinecone image from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock twice.  I cut the images out using the coordinating die from the Beautiful Boughs Dies along with the smallest bough die in Just Jade cardstock.  I adhered the pine bough and the pinecones to the Whisper White panel using Glue Dots.  I made a bow using Linen Thread and adhered it  to the pinecones using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the pine bough image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Just Jade Ink, stamping off twice, on the top of the panel.  I stamped the pinecone image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once, on the top of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the pine bough from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the pinecone image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Crumb Cake in on the bough.  I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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 supplies are below along with the measurements if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Christmas

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  Hope you are enjoying some fun activities.

I have another quick and easy card for you today using one of the new bundles from the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Here’s today’s card.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #450.  Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the outline tree image from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink.  I stamped the fill image from the In The Pines stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink over the outlined images.  I cut the 3 trees out using my Pine Woods Dies.  On a panel of
Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies, making sure the sentiment was at the top of the rectangle.

I adhered the trees to the bottom of the rectangle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the bottom one and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the top 2.  I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the fill image of the tree from the In The Pines stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the bottom of the panel, one full strength and the 2nd stamping off once.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the outline tree image from the In The Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the fill image tree from In The Pines stamp set over the outline image in Pear Pizzazz Ink.  I adhered a panel of Heartwarming Hugs 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!!
