Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Birthday CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope your weekend has started off wonderful. I’m at my virtual OnStage event this weekend. Even though I’m home, I’m still having a lot of fun and learning a lot. I’ll share the projects we made next week with you.

I have a masculine Clean and Simple card for you today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. Here’s my card for today.

My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #618. Here are their colors.

I played along with the Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #400. Here is their board. I went across the top.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #257. Their theme is ‘Birthday for an Adult Male’.

I also joined in with Just Add Ink Challenge #530. Their challenge is Stamps-Ink-Paper.

I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the leaves image from Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink hanging from the tree. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamped off once, on the bottom of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on the top of the Very Vanilla panel.

I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Suede card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the birdhouse image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Suede card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the grass image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once, across the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the leaves image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped a partial tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on both sides of the envelope flap in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the leaves in Terracotta Tile Ink on the branches.

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

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Hello

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything exciting? I’m ready for another busy week and a rainy one too.

I have another fall card for you today, take a look.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge # 616. Here are their colors.

My sketch is from Hand Stamped Sentiments #350. Here is their sketch.

I joined in with Cardz 4 Galz #133. Their theme is Fall/Autumn.

I also played along with Double “D” Challenge. ‘October…WHAT does it mean to you??

I started by adhering a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I stamped the top of the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on the side of a Very vanilla panel. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted Ink Nature Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once. I cut the image out using the circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink towards the top of the circle and adhered it to the very vanilla panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 leaves out using the Gathered Leaves Dies, 1 in Cherry Cobbler and 1 in Brushed Metallic paper. I adhered the leaves to the tree trunk image using Glue Dots. I made a triple bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaves using a Glue Dot. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the tree trunk image from the Rooted In Nature stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off twice, in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake in over the trunk image. I stamped the leaves from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set along the bottom of the panel in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the leaves from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the tree image.

I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty 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! Life is Beautiful for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  How is everyone doing today?  If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have something different, we have a Theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects .
Here is the Theme we had to work from.

Here’s what I came up with.

My design is from Inspire. Create. Sketch Challenge #075.  Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered another panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to a Very Vanilla mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink.  I stamped the bird house image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Early Espresso Ink, hanging from the bottom branch.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Bumblebee Ink and Cajun Craze Inks on the tree branches.  I cut the image out using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut the largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies out of a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I adhered the artwork to the scallop circle mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I embossed a panel of Early Espresso cardstock using the Pinewood Plank 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the matted artwork to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the Early Espresso panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I tied a small bow using the 1/4″ Bumblebee Ribbon 2020-2022 In-Color Ribbon and adhered it to the artwork using a Glue Dot.  I stamped the sentiment from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in the center of Very Vanilla panel in Early Espresso Ink.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Bumblebee and Cajun Craze Inks on the bottom of the panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Bumblebee and Cajun Craze Inks on the bottom front of the envelope.  I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends.  TODAY IS THE DAY!!! The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog is now live.  Hope you have your shopping lists ready and you are ready to use those Bonus Coupons you earned last month.  I know I’ll be placing my order 1st thing this morning!!  I’m so excited, I get to order the new Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine today.  This is one of the perks of being a demonstrator.

I have another fall card for you today.  It might be 90+ degrees outside, but I’m thinking cool.  Here’s my card for today.

My design is from the Fab Friday Sketch Challenge #195.  Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #127.  Their theme is ‘Stamp on Kraft’.

I started by stamping a Crumb Cake card front with the images from the Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set randomly in Crumb Cake Ink.

I cut a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Brushed Metallic Gold sheet using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered a piece of the 3/8″ Embroidered Ribbon to the DSP using  a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Crumb Cake Ink and colored the leaves in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the images from the Harvest Hellos stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom front of the envelope and colored them in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered a panel of the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful Sneak Peek

Good Monday morning my stamping friends.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Hope you were able to spend some time doing something fun.

I have another sneak peek for you today from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Here’s my card.

I started by adhering a panel of the Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Pumpkin Pie card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set multiple times on the tree in Pumpkin Pie Ink.  I cut the image out using the Celebration Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink.  I adhered a piece of Bumblebee  2020-2022 In-Color 1/4″ Ribbon on the artwork using Glue Dots and adhered the sentiment over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few of the Iridescent Pearls to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set on the bottom of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pumpkin Pie card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the tree from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front.  I stamped the leaf image from the Life is Beautiful stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink.  I adhered a panel of Plaid Tidings DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card.  The Items I used today will be available for purchase starting August 4th, that’s just a week from tomorrow.  Happy Stamping!!

I’m cleaning my shelves and drawers out to make room for lots of new goodie.  I have my list right HERE and I’m trying to keep it up to date.   Check it out and let me know if there is anything you’d like to get.  If you are looking for something and don’t see it on the list, drop me a line and I will look through my stash to see if I missed it.  I have lots of older DSP too that I don’t have listed if there is any that you are looking for.
