Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow CAS

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends Happy November!!! Are you ready for a new month? I am and I’m just about ready for tomorrow to get here. I leave my house around 4:30am to catch a flight to our retreat in GA. I’m so looking forward to going and getting to spend some time with team members and crafting for the entire weekend. I don’t have to do anything but relax and enjoy myself. We get all our meals prepared for us, and they are delicious. I missed a lot of them last year when I went because I spent most of the time sleeping and being sick. Not this year, I’m going to make up for last year.

I have a quick and easy card for you today that is also Clean and Simple. With all the running around and working I’ve been doing the past few days, I needed something quick and easy. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and Meadow dies for my card today.

I joined in with Just Us Girls Challenge #703 CAS Week.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Blending Brush and adding Bubble Bath Ink to the center of a Basic White card front. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the blended color. I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamps set in Crumb cake Ink next to the flower image. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamps et in Bubble Bath Ink around the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a small panel of Bubble Bath I cut the small butterfly using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimsnsionals.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White. I added some Bubble Bath Ink on the bottom of the panel using the Blending Brush. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the blended color. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the flower image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using the Blending Brush, I added some Bubble Bath Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink Over the blended area and on the envelope flap. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the flower image on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week already. I hope you are all having a good week.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We have a new fun challenge this week.  The inspiration photo #196 is Patriotic Picnic. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my Clean and Layered Card. I was inspired by the stars and stripes in the photo along with the Colors and Flowers.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 196.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by inking up the Stripes Embossing Folder, from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder, with Real Red Ink. I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on a Basic White card front. I did this twice to get the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink multiple times on the panel over the flower, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the scalloped die from the Zany Zoo Dies, I cut a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock. I adhered the scalloped strip behind the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers, stamping off on scrap paper first. I adhered a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the flowers. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Peek Through

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? Did anyone have off yesterday for New Year’s? Yesterday was my 1st of the month, I had bills to get out even though there was no mail.

My upline Jaimie is doing a fun challenge for the month of January. Each week she’s giving us a sketch and we can use it as a base to create a card with it. Here’s my card today using her sketch.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Peek Through 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This was our sketch to work with.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Peek Through 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a small panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Crumb Cake Mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a larger panel of Tea Boutique DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Layering Circles Dies, I cut a circle out of the small, layered panel and the same size circle out of the card front panel.

I adhered the small, layered panel to the card front, lining up the die cut circles, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Peek Through 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a strip of Basic Whtie cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional and Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Peek Through 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink across a Basic White panel so it would peek through the cut circle. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the small flower from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower. I stamped the splatter image and sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as for the card. I stamped the small flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink and the splatter image in Crumb Cake Ink around the flower image.. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Fun Fold Video Tutorial

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

Before I get started, today starts the Back To School Sales Tax Holiday. For those of you living in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia…you’ve got sales tax holidays coming up!! The good news is that some items in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs qualify for the sales tax holidays!  The list of sales tax holidays by state and items in that state that qualify Here on a printable PDF of the

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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Fresh Freesia card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panels to the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inside of the card base. I scored & folded 3 strips of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the 6 square panels of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inner 2 sections of the strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the strips to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 outside sections of the Night of Navy strips lining the center fold up with the fold line of the card base. I fussy cut multiple butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of a Basic White Panel. I stamped the tall floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the floral image. I adhered 2 of the fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Monochromatic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I’ll be attending my OnTour Virtual event this morning. I can’t wait to see some of the new products being used. I got my preorder for the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog placed yesterday. My credit card is only a little in shock, well maybe a lot. As soon as my goodies arrive, I’ll do a Facebook live opening of the box. I’ll post something on my Facebook page as soon as I know when it’ll be. I have to wait for the UPS guy to drop it off.

Today’s card is another Clean and Simple one that is also Monochromatic. I’m so happy this set will be carrying over to the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set for my CAS card today. I saw this design made by Kylie Bertucci and had to make it. I don’t usually CASE many cards, but this one just caught my eye and I had to make it. I did change mine up a little.

I started by stamping the flower, typed and splotch images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Versamark Ink randomly on a Misty Moonlight card front. I immediately sprinkled the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I adhered the Misty Moonlight card front to a Basic White mat and then to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set around the floral image in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat. I wrapped a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack, around the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front, off centered, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image on either side of the sentiment in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink around the floral images. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral and splotch images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the typed and flower images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope flap in Misty Moonlight Ink.

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

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)

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, 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 my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Bundle along with the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large cone flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Cinnamon Cider, Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Harvest Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the Basic White panel and punched it our using the Tailored Tag Punch. After I punched the sentiment, I stamped the small flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off 3 times, over the sentiment. I cut the branch die from the Harvest Dies from a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock.

I adhered a panel of the Cork Specialty Paper to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the branch die to the Cork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the cone flower and sentiment over the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Host Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small floral image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampn’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cone flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image the same as I did for my card. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow part 2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the long holiday weekend, if you live in the US. This weekend is usually the close to the summer even though there’s 3 weeks left. I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend even if it’s to just take the day off and relax. We had a wonderful time yesterday at the Sunflower maze. Thousands of sunflowers and 2 mazes of them to walk through.. I’ll share some pictures shortly with you. I was even able to bring a few home with me along with a bag full of seeds that I can plant next summer and the following one. I can’t wait to see my own growing.

Today’s card is the 2nd part to the card I showed on Wednesday. You can see that card Here. The card from Wednesday and today’s shows how to used both the positive and negative of a die cut. This is another card we’ll be making at my class on Tuesday night. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by randomly stamping the type image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Cinnamon Cider card front. I adhered the card front to a petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I had the leaf die cut that I cut our for Wednesday’s card still. From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut 2 of the dies from the Meadow Dies. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the Cinnamon Cider card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small piece of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the sentiment tag and tied a bow. I adhered the sentiment to the bouquet using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the typed image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink along the bottom of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper 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! Quiet Meadow

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How are you all doing today? Hope your week has started out to be a productive one. I normally have Tuesday’s off, but today is the last day of the month so that means I have to go in. First I have to take my son for a follow up appointment for his broken leg. Fingers crossed that he can come off his crutches that he’s been on since June 10th. It’s been a long summer of transporting him around and it’s still going to be a while before he can drive.

I have a card class coming up next week, so I have to start designing cards for it. That’s the hardest part of having classes, coming up with new ideas. Luckily demonstrators have some resources to find new ideas. Here’s my card for today that we’ll be making next Tuesday night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Mossy Meadow and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers in the center of the panel. Using my Meadow Dies, I cut the leafy die out of the colored section of the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock I stamped the splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the 2 butterfly dies from the Meadow Dies out of the stamped panel and adhered them to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Meadow Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tiny flower images from the Quiet Moment stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

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

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Thinking of You

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. Happy Friendship Day and Happy August. I can’t believe it’s August already. I’m not ready to be winding down the summer yet, I need at least 3 more months. How is everyone’s weekend going? I had to go back to work twice yesterday since the mail was so late. The good thing was, I was all by myself in the office so I brought my dog with me to hang out. She wasn’t sure about the situation and was just sniffing and pacing all around the office. She did get some visitors and a lot of pets though.

Today’s card is similar to yesterday’s card, another CAS one. You have to let me know in the comments which card you like better. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden Cling Stamp Set along with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for my card today. This is such an awesome pack of DSP and you can get it until Tuesday on sale for 15% off, I may just have to order another pack. It’s one of my favorites.

I started by stamping the Daisy Garden image on a panel of In Good Taste DSP in Bumblebee Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. Did you know that you can make any color embossing powder just by using our inks and the Clear Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set on the top of the card front panel in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 3/8″ Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Bumblebee card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the Daisy Garden image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink over the daisy image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped the Daisy Garden image on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope in Bumblebee Ink. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste 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!!

Double DSP Share – $50 + $7.75 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, that’s fine too.  I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Gingerbread & Peppermint, Cute Halloween and Kraft 6″ × 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).
