Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Thank You

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all making some fun plans for this weekend now that it’s starting to warm up a little. Last I heard it’s suppose to be a nice weekend here in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. I’m loving that it doesn’t get dark until after 8:30pm now and it’s light at 5:30am when I get up. I just LOVE this time of the year.

Today’s card is using items that will be retiring at the end of the month. I still have a bit of DSP left from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog that I want to use up. I don’t know why I’m always waiting till the end of a catalog to use it. The stamp sets I used will also be retiring. If these are sets you like, grab them while you still can. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set and the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller matted panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals just on the side edges of the sentiment. I added a few Resin Hearts Embellishments to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the mushroom image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Blushing Bride mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Snail Mail 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. Don’t forget, these items will be retiring June 30th. If this is a stamp set or Designer Series Paper that you like, don’t wait. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss out on them! Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Snailed It for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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 Karen Finkle, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. Here is my card using this weeks colors.

I used the retiring Stampin’ Up! Snail Mail Suite for my card today. This suite is only available until June 30th.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #258.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom and snail image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. For the snails body, I used my Water Painters filled with alcohol and some Blushing Bride Ink on one of my blocks. I cut the images out using my Snail Dies and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple Resin Heart Embellishments to the card front I tied a small double bow using the Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the retiring Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Gray mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White Medium Envelope. I colored the image in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.

Stampin’ Up! Snailed It

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has your weekend started off? I have off today, YAY!! I’ll be doing a lot of cleaning at home though. We’re finally done with all the work in my house, so it’s time to start putting things back together. Yesterday was very productive for me. I filled multiple bags and boxes for good will with coats and clothes and many other items. I figured now is the best time to really clean things out since we had to move and empty so many things.

For today, I played with a set that I kind of pushed to the side. I really like it too, so I don’t know why I haven’t used it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Suite for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal. From a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock I cut multiple envelopes using the Snail Dies. I adhered them to a Blushing Bride card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and cut the panel down to 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″.

I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the stamp die from the Snail Dies. I embossed a panel of Real Red card stock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Basic White stamp die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the mushroom image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Snail Die and adhered it to the Real Red panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a small panel of Real Red cardstock using the stitched rectangle from the Snail Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Snailed It stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the rectangle. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered it under the artwork using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Resin Hearts to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a panel of the Snail Mail DSP. I stamped the mushroom image on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snail Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the DSP panel to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and the to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the mushroom image from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail 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! Snailed It for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything for the weekend? I’ll be at work all weekend, as usual.

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 very much. 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 that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Bundle and Snail Mail Designer Series Paper for my card today. It’s such a fun bundle to play with.

I started by adhering a panel of Snail Mail DSP to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal. Using my Paper Trimmer I lined the outside edge of the card at the 3″ mark. I placed the blade at the 3″ mark on the ruler and cut down to the 5/8″ mark. I turned the card base so the bottom is lined up on the trimmer and the side is at the 3″ mark. I place the blade at the 3 5/8″ mark and cut down to the 1 1/4″ mark. I carefully flipped the cut panel around.

I adhered a small panel of Snail Mail DSP to a Bermuda Bay mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the flipped corner using Stampin’ Seal. On a small panel of Bermuda Bay cardstock I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! Snailed It Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the image out using the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch and adhered it the the corner section using Stampin Dimensionals. I added a Resin Heart Embellishment to the punched image.

I fussy cut the snail from another panel of the Snail Mail DSP and adhered it to the corner of the flip fold using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Punch Party Sale-A-Bration Host Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Family Party Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped one of the snail images from the Snailed It stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Bermuda Bay, Petal Pink and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Snail Mail DSP to the inside of the Real Red card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP a little off centered so you can’t see it when the card is closed. I cut out 2 mushrooms using the Snail dies, one in Bermuda Bay and one in Real Red cardstocks. I switched the dots on each mushroom and adhered them to the inside panel using Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snail image from the Snailed It stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Bermuda Bay, Petal Pink and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Snail Mail DSP to the envelope flap.
