Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment in Retiring Colors

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s weekend started off? I have the weekend off and I’m not sure what I’m doing yet. I know tomorrow I have my in person team quarterly meeting, but today is undecided still. I may be cleaning out the attic, I may be crafting. Time will tell.

For today I have a set of cards for you using the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring the beginning of May. If you like any of these colors, now it the time to grab them before they announce the retirement. As you may know, I don’t make any 2 cards identical. Although these cards are the same, they are different colors. Here are my cards.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moments Cling Stamp Set along with the 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. All the cards are the exact same measurements and they all use the same 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon, except for the Pretty Peacock ( I realized when I was making the cards I never bought that ribbon).

For all the cards I adhered a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to the left side of a Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in the coordinating color, except for the Purple Posy I used Sahara Sand. I adhered the Purple Posy, Rococo Rose and Terracotta Tile card fronts to Sahara Sand mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Pretty Peacock card front to a Pool Party mat and the Seaside Spray card front to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of the Purple Posy, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the card fronts and adhered them in the back using Stampin’ Seal. On the Pretty Peacock card front I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon around the card front and adhered it in the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card fronts to the coordinating card bases using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Butterfly Gems to each card, again coordinating the colors.

On the inside of the Purple Posy and Pretty Peacock cards, I stamped the sentiments from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in the center of Basic White panels. I adhered the panels to Sahara Sand and Pool Party mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card bases using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside of the Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile cards I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in the coordinating colors. I adhered the Basic White panels to Sahara Sand mats using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat for the Seaside Spray card. I adhered all the matted panels to the inside of the coordinating card bases using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my cards I decorated Basic White Medium Envelopes. I stamped the images from Enjoy The Moment stamp set on the Purple Posy and Pretty Peacock envelopes.

I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set on the Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile envelopes. I adhered panels of the 2019-2021 In-Color DSP to all the envelope flaps.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my set of cards and will give it a try. These colors will be retiring in just 7 weeks. Don’t wait to get your favorite colors. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up’ Oval Occasions for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew 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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie Babarczy’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Celebrate Spring”.  We can interpret this however we want.  A couple of my cashiers at work are going to be grandmas this spring, so I made a baby card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle for my card. Here’s my card.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #496.

I started by embossing a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper on an angle and adhered it to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Terracotta Tile ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, around the card front and adhered it on the back using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Terracotta Tile is another one of the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring in May.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers and leaves in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and for the flower center I used my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I punched the image out using the Double Oval Punch. Using my Layering Ovals Dies, I cut the solid oval in Terracotta Tile cardstock and the scalloped oval in Mint Macaron cardstock. I adhered them together using Stampin’ Seal.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Terracotta Tile Butterfly Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Oval Occasions stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ornate Garden Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Birthday

Good Sunday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s weekend going? Yesterday was a busier day than I expected at work. Now today I’m off to the dog boutique bakery. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of visits from our puppy friends.

For today’s card I CASED a card right from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog from page 65 using the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Bundle. I don’t usually do that, but I thought the card was just so adorable. Here’s my card for today.

Once again I used my Uplines color combo for my card for the challenge she is doing this week.

I started by punching a bunch of scalloped ovals using the new Double Oval Punch from a panel of Night of Navy cardstock. I embossed a panel of Seaside Spray cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and cut the panel into 1 1/2″ strips. I punched 4 embossed ovals out using the Double Oval Punch.

I arranged the scalloped ovals on a panel of Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, some are hanging off the paper. I adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue so I had a little wiggle room to move them around. Once they were all adhered, I trimmed the panel down to a 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″ panel. I adhered the embossed Seaside Spray ovals on top of a few of the Night of Navy scalloped ovals using Stampin’ Dimensionals and trimmed them using my Paper Snips. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Oval Occasions Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the image out using the Double Oval Punch. I adhered a piece of the Seaside Spray 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon to the scallop oval using Stampin’ Seal and adhered the sentiment on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Crushed Curry Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set below the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy 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 floral image from the Oval Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends Markers and my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. 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 card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
