Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous one here in NJ, a perfect sunny and not too hot weekend. I was able to enjoy a bit of my Sunday since I only had to work half day.

Today’s card is similar to one that I made at our mystery stamping last Tuesday. I made another one with the same idea using a different stamp set, DSP and dies. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Bundle along with the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper and the Basic Borders Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting the front of a Pool Party card base using the Basic Borders Dies. I cut a panel of Pool Party cardstock the same way with the Basic Borders Dies. I embossed the panel using the Into The Clouds Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the mushroom house from a panel of Storybook Gnomes DSP using the Gnomes Dies. I adhered the die cut piece to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the gnome image from the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image our using my Gnomes Dies. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Highland Heather, Ivory, Petal Pink and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the gnome to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Kindest Gnomes Thank You 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside of the card base, I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the bottom portion. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat then to the top inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gnome image from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

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

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Hippest Hippos Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Hippo Dies, Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Bundle and the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Solid lines are score lines, dashed lines are cut lines

I started by scoring a Petal Pink card base at 1″, 2″, 3″, 5 1/4″, 6 1/4″ & 7 1/4″ along the 8 1/4″ side. I turned the panel so the 5 1/2″ side was along the edge of my trimmer and set the 8 1/4″ edge at the 1″ mark. I cut from the 1″ score line to the 3″ score line and then from the 5 1/4″ score line to the 7 1/4″ score line. I moved the card base to the 2″ line on my trimmer and repeated the cuts. I turned the cardstock around so the other 8 1/4″ edge was at the 1″ mark on my trimmer and cut the same on that side at the 1′ & 2″ marks. I folded the card base as above with the mountain and valley folds.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Subtle DSP panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and embossed it using the Into The Clouds Embossing Folder. From a panel of Rose Gold Specialty Paper I cut the bucket die from the Hippo Dies. I cut the top of the umbrella and hat die from the Hippo Dies from scraps of the Soft Sea Foam Subtle DSP.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the ballerina hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Hippo Dies. I also cut out the umbrella die from the panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the umbrella top to the Basic White umbrella using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a scrap of Petal Pink Subtle DSP, I stamped the tutu part of the hippo image and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the tutu to the hippo image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the hippo to the Pool Party panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bucket below the hippo using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the hat to the hippo using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I adhered the Pool Party panel to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the umbrella to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the background image from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I stamped the letters and #1 from the Alphabest stamp set on the background images in Gray Granite Ink. I punched the letters out using the Best Label Punch. I adhered the letters to the side panel of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the #1 to the hippos hand using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hippest Hippos 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back of the card base, I adhered the panels of Subtle DSP to the sides and top of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Hippest Hippos on the top of the panel in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nuts About Squirrels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink below the 1st sentiment. I stamped the hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the back of the card base. I added a few more of the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins to the card back.

Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos for Amy’s Inkin Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. 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 handsome projects. If you’ve hopped over from Amy’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Summer”.  We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Hippest Hippos Cling Stamp Set along with the Sale-a-bration Hippo Dies for my card today.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed a Basic White card front using the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder. I lightly brushed the panel using my Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink, to give it a little color. On a strip of Sahara Sand cardstock, I stamped the sand image from the Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink. I tore the top of the strip of card stock all the way across. I adhered the ‘sand’ image to the bottom of the card front using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue just along the bottom edge. I cut 3 strips of the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper. Using my Paper Snips, I cut 2 of the strips along the ‘wave’ edge. I adhered the 3 strips together using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered waves to the card front just under the ‘sand’ strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed the edges using my Paper Snips.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the 2 hippo images from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Hippo Dies. Using the Hippo Dies, I cut the goggles and snorkel from a panel of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, I cut the sunglasses and umbrella from a panel of Polished Pink and Basic Black cardstock. I cut the water drops from a panel of Pool Party cardstock. I adhered the goggles and snorkel to the one hippo and the sunglasses to the ballerina hippo using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the hippos and umbrella to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the water drops to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Flirty Flamingo, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sahara Sand 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 hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Flirty Flamingo, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Celebrate Everything DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers CAS Thinking of You

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Tonight, is my Stamp Camp Card Class. I look forward to this every month with getting together with the ladies. We have 2 new ladies joining us tonight and I’m looking forward to meeting them and learning their style of stamping.

Today’s CAS card is one that we will be making tonight. I’m trying to keep it fairly simple tonight since I have 6 ladies coming and don’t know what level they are all at. Everyone will be making this card, but they will color the flowers in whatever color they would like to. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large flower image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel.

I embossed the panel using the Into The Clouds Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Orchid Oasis card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Orchid Oasis mat and then to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Soft Succulent and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of 2022-2024 6 X 6 In-Color Designer Series Paper to 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!!
