Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Bumblebee, Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends HAPPY APRIL!!! Welcome to my fun fold Friday. I can’t believe that it’s April, WOW!!! My Bradford Pear Tree has buds on it and so does my Dogwood Tree. My Hydrangeas are starting to sprout green and Tulips are popping up everywhere. Looks like spring is in the air, now if the temperatures would just cooperate. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be signed in on my OnTour watching new products get used and learning some new things. I got my preorder placed this morning before I had to leave for work, so once it come in I’ll do an unveiling video. My credit card has gone in hiding for a bit, I guess it was a little bit of a shock all at once for it.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Bumblebee card base at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″ to make a Z-Fold card. I adhered 2 panels of Pansy Petals DSP to 2 Basic Black mats. I adhered 1 of the layered panels on the front of the card base.

I cut 2 of the flower images from a panel of Pansy Petals DSP and 6 of the leaf images from another panel of Pansy Petals DSP using my Pansy Dies. I adhered the leaves to the back of the die cut flower using Glue Dots. I adhered 2 of the 1 7/8″ Basic Black squares to the card front as diamonds lining up the corners with the edge of the matted DSP. I adhered the die cut pansies to the diamonds using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I cut the strip using my Banner Pick A Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 2 of the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons to the sentiment and 2 to the flower centers.

I cut a small panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Ladybug Builder Punch. I adhered 3 strips of Bumblebee cardstock evenly on the punched ladybug giving it stripes for the bumblebee. I punched a piece of Vellum paper using the Ladybug Builder Punch for the wings. I embossed the Vellum paper using my Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the wings to the bumblebee body using a Stampin’ Dimensional and added an Adhesive-Backed Hexagon in the center of the wings. For the mechanism the bumblebee is on, I took a 2 7/8″ square of Basic Black cardstock scored and folded it from corner to corner one way. I cut a 2 3/4″ square of Pansy Petals in half corner to corner and adhered it to one side of the square. After the inside was finished, I matched up the square with the inner liner, having the DSP side facing out. I added Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the Basic Black side of the triangle and adhered the card base to it so that it would line up perfectly. I adhered the bumblebee to the DSP side using Stampin’ Dimensionals. (If I didn’t explain this part clearly it might be better off watching the video).

I adhered the 2nd DSP layered panel to the inside left of the card base. I cut 2 – 2″ Basic Black squares to make triangles. I cut 2 – 1 3/4″ Pansy Petal DSP squares to make triangles. I adhered the DSP to the Basic Black mats and then to the 4 corners of the inside of the card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the flower image from the Hello Ladybug stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat and adhered it to the inside of the Bumblebee card base. I added a couple Bumblebee Trinkets to the 2 outside corners.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Giraffe

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? The cold weather is back here for us. It’s only supposed to get up to 36 today and drop to 23 tonight. We even had a snow squall go through yesterday while I was at work. We may skip spring this year and go right to summer like we have in the past.

Today’s card is a special one. Some of you know that I was a Girl Scout when I was younger, and I was Girl Scout Leader for 13 years for my daughter. I had girls from kindergarten all the way up to graduation from high school. I bridged them to adult Girl Scouts in June of 2016. One of my girl scouts that I had for the full 13 years, I always called her the wild child, was in a car accident a few weeks ago. She got banged up pretty bad was in the hospital for a week and had to have knee surgery along with some others. I thought I’d make her a card letting her know that we were thinking of her and hoping that she has a speedy recovery. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Back On Your Feet Cling Stamp Set along with the In The Wild Designer Series Paper and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Bumblebee card base. I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of In The Wild DSP to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and set aside.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped just the leaf from the sloth image on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the layered panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a piece of the Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Trim around the layered panels and tied a bow. On a small piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment out from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it our using my Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the left of the artwork using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the giraffe image to the right of the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the giraffe image from the Back On Your Feet stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of In The Wild 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. Don’t forget that this stamp set, and both of the DSP’s will be retiring soon on May 2nd. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends for Fun Fold Friday with Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you looking forward to the weekend? I have off on Saturday and have to work all day on Sunday.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends Cling Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Fresh Freesia card base. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I fussy cut the bunny using my Paper Snips. I adhered the bunny to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut out the smallest 2 dies from the Flowers of Home Dies from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the 2 stems to the bunny’s hands using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a few Loose Flower Flourishes to the stems using Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the shadowbox frame I started by adhering a panel of Heart & Home DSP to a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. You do not have to adhere the DSP to the cardstock, I just wanted to make sure it was going to be very stable. I scored it on the 5 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 1″, 4 1/2″ & 5″. I cut the center out using the 2nd largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I folded on the score lines making the 1″ & 4 1/2″ mountain folds and the 1/2″ & 5″ valley folds. I adhered the frame to the card front using Tear & Tape adhesive.

Here is a view from the top. The cardstock helped to make it pop out a bit.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the frame using Glue Dots. I added a few more of the Loose Flower Flourishes to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set to the side of the sentiment in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the grass image below the bunny in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Fresh Freesia card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bunny image from the Easter Friends stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front stamping off once. I stamped the grass image in Pear Pizzazz Ink below the bunny. I adhered a panel of Pansy Petals 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. 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! New Shipping Fees Beginning April 1

I want to let you know about a change to Stampin’ Up!’s shipping and handling pricing.  Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

If you ever use the expedited shipping options, those fees are going up a bit too.  Here are the new fees for expedited shipping:

  • Next Day Upgrade: $38.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 2nd Day Upgrade: $23.00 USD ($3.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • 3 Day Shipping Upgrade: $15.00 USD ($5.00 USD increase from the previous rate)
  • The expedited shipping option rates above are calculated in addition to the standard shipping rate (e.g., the next day shipping option would cost $7.95 USD or 11%—whichever is greater—plus $38.00 USD)

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me.  Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so they can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated paper crafting products that you love.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have plans? Yesterday we had a gorgeous spring day. It was 60 out and my daughter and I were running errands without coats on. Today, well a little different. It’s cold with a mix of rain and snow. I really wish spring would get here and stay.

Today’s card is one that we made at our team meeting on Tuesday night. Every month we have a virtual team meeting and so Mystery Stamping at the end. It’s a lot of fun. Our upline emails us measurements and then at the end of the meeting she tells us how to put the card together. All of our cards are similar but different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Bundle along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #384.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Basic White card front. I wrapped a piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the side of the panel and tied a bow.

On the bottom of the panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink. I cut a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips and embossed it using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I adhered the banner to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the flower and the flower bud from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I cut the detailed flower outline from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I cut the stem, 2 leaves and detailed leaves from a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock. I sponged some Mint Macaron Ink on the detailed leave die using my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the detailed flower dies to the solid flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the leaves behind the flower using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower to the banner panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel that I colored with my So Saffron Stampin’ Blend Marker in the center of the flower. I added a couple Bumblebee Trinkets to the card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the card front to a Basic Whtie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the smallest pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the pansy outline and center images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink over the solid image. I stamped the leaf images from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the pansy. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Hugs

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Hope it was a good one for you.

I played with a bundle from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog for today’s card. I’ve had this set, but just finally put some ink on it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Hugs Bundle along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #575.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Soft Succulent mat off centering it. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Hugs Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. From a panel of Gold Foil Paper, I adhered a piece of the Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back and cut the ‘HUGS’ sentiment using my Layering Hugs Dies. I also cut from the Gold Foil Paper 3 of the flowers and 3 of the leaves using the Layering Hugs Dies. I adhered the ‘HUGS’ to the card front over the stamped image. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the artwork. I adhered the Basic White panel to the card front.

On a scrap of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using my Layering Hugs Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set in Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Inks. I stamped the flower image from the Sending Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment and colored it in using my Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Sending Hugs stamp set twice on the envelope front and colored it in using my Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I hope you are having a productive one. Today is not going to go as planned. I can’t work on my garden like I wanted to. Looks like I might be putting it off to the fall when some of the bugs go away. I got eaten up so bad on Saturday when I was only out there for a couple hours, my legs look like someone tortured me with pins. I was going to spray my lawn and garden, but it’s harmful to my fur baby.

Today I have a quick card for you showcasing another one of the DSP’s that’s on sale. I let the DSP do all the work and there’s very little stamping today. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge #435.

I started by adhering a panel of Pansy Petals DSP to a Soft Sea Foam card based using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered another panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bumblebee Trinket using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Pansy Petals 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Pansy Birthday

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to a long weekend. It’s also the last day of June, which means tomorrow is the 1st, and you know what that means???? Designer Series Paper Sale starts. Details are listed below.

I have a quick and easy card today that I kind of CASEd from my team leader Amy. I’m thinking of using this one for my class next week. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the side of the Calypso Coral card front using Multipurpose Liquid glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ‘Happy’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral and Polished Pink Ink down the side of the panel. I used my Stamparatus to make sure everything was lined up and straight. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ‘Happy’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Pale Papaya Ink. I stamped the ‘birthday’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the top of the first sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered a length of Pale Papaya 1/2″ Woven Ribbon to the artwork using Stampin’ Seal and then the sentiment over the top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pale Papaya Genial Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a thin strip of the Pansy Petals DSP to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

To finish my card I adhered a strip of Pansy Petals DSP to a Basic White Medium Envelope front and a panel 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Step Card for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I will only be at Ace all day Sunday working, I have off from the dog bakery this weekend.

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’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Suite Collection for my fun fold card today.

My colors are from the Global Design Project #297.

This is the template to reproduce this card. I really hope you will try it out.

Once I made all the card base cuts, I decorated the card base. I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a strip of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 panels of the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to either side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times. Once in Blackberry Bliss full strength, once in Blackberry Bliss stamped off once and the 3rd in Blackberry Bliss full strength with Fresh Freesia over the top. I cut the 3 flowers out using the Pansy Dies. I cut 4 solid leaves, 4 detailed leaves and 2 stems from a panel of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using my Pansy Dies. Using my Sponge Dauber I added some Pear Pizzazz Ink to the detailed leaves. I adhered the detailed leaves to the solid leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the 2 stems on top of one another using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stems to a Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the matted panel and tied a bow. I adhered the artwork to the middle panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a little Bumblebee Trinket near the flowers.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Blackberry Bliss Ink using the Masking Technique. I stamped the solid leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped off once and the detailed leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink on top of the solid leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set 3 times on the bottom front corner of the envelope using the masking technique. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals 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. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. 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! Pansy Patch Square Card

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. I’ll be at work today and tomorrow is our in person quarterly team meeting. I’m really looking forward to getting together with some of my team members to do some stamping and just talking, especially after the week I’ve had. It started with my dog last Saturday ending up at the animal hospital and ended Thursday with my son being brought to the ER. It’s going to be a long summer which is not going to go as planned. He had all these soccer camps lined up that he was going to be running, instead he will be healing with a broken leg and sprained ankle.

Today’s card is something different than what I normally do. I’ve made a square card. I’ve always stayed away from them because of not having the envelopes. I’ve figured a way around that. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #215.

I started by adhering a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Soft Seafoam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut the largest frame from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock and the next size smaller from a panel of Basic White cardstock. In the center of the Basic White frame I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I adhered the Basic White frame the the Evening Evergreen using Stampin’ Seal then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a few Loose Flower Flourishes to the card front using Glue Dots. In the center of the 2 larger flowers I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small pansy images from the Pansy Patch stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya Inks, both stamped off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Soft Seafoam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set on the envelope front using Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya Inks. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals 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 Shaded Summer Birthday

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Hope you all have a productive one. We dropped from the mid 90’s Sunday to 70 yesterday. There was actually a little chill in the air.

I’m a little obsessed, I’ll admit it. I can’t stop using the 2021-2023 In-Colors and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I can’t get enough of them. Here’s my card for today.

I used another new set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set.

I joined in with the Fab Friday Color Challenge #214.

I started by stamping the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I colored the stamp using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent markers from the 2021-2023 In-Color Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the image out using my Scalloped Contours Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Soft Succulent Ink.

I adhered a panel of the Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum to an Evening Evergreen card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut 2 rectangles using my Stitched Rectangle Dies from a panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I adhered 2 panels of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the Fresh Freesia mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a small bow I tied using the Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the artwork using a Glue Dot. I added a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the bottom of the panel which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set which I colored using my Pale Papaya and Soft Succulents Stampin’ Write Markers on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals 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!!
