Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Coffee

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

I’m very excited today to be a part of the Design Team for The Card Concepts. I was so honored when they asked me to join their team. The Card Concepts is a 2 week Inspirational Challenge. Here is my card for today.

This challenge is Winter Warmth.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concept to join us and play along.

I was inspired by the entire photo from the cappuccino, colors and the snowflakes.

I started by adhering a panel of Whisper White cardstock to an Adhesive Sheet and cut multiple snowflakes out using my So Many Snowflakes Dies. I adhered the snowflakes to a 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ panel of Whisper White cardstock then cut it down to a 4″ X 5 1/4″ panel.

On thin stirps of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Nothing’s Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. On another panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the coffee cup image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink 3 times and colored them in using my Cinnamon Cider and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Love You More Than Dies. I cut the ‘coffee’ sentiment out of a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock that I had adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet using my Love You More Than Dies.

I adhered the thin sentiment strips to Real Red mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the ‘coffee’ sentiment to the card front. I adhered the 3 cups of coffee to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the coffee cum image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored them in using my Cinnamon Cider and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered 2 of the smallest snowflakes I cut from the So Many Snowflakes Dies on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the coffee cup image from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set 3 times across the bottom of the envelope front and colored the images in using my Cinnamon Cider and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In-Color 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! Curvy Christmas Snowflakes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope everyone is doing well.  If you are hopping over from Karen, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
Here is our Theme for this week.

Here is my card using this theme.

My colors were inspired by Global Design Project #265. Here are their colors. My free choice color was Pool Party.

My design is from TGIF Challenge #288 . Their Theme is ‘Going In Circles’

I started by using the largest snowflake die from the So Many Snowflakes Dies and cut a Whisper White card front. I curved the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set on my block so that it matched the curve of the snowflake and stamped it in Smoky Slate Ink. I wrapped a piece of the Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.

I cut 2 of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper using my So Many Snowflake Dies. I cut 2 of the stitched circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies out of a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock and adhered the snowflakes to them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stitched circles to the bottom of the card front, on top of the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front on top of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Sparkle

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends Happy Halloween!!! Hope you have some fun activities planned for today. We only usually get 5 Trick or Treaters, We live on a dead end and we’re the last street before the highway, I guess the kids are just too tired by the time they get our way. It’s the last day of the month, so that means I have to work in the office today. The good thing is I get to go in when I want and leave as soon as I’m done.

Today’s card I made Wednesday on my Facebook Live Video. If you were able to join me live or you watched the replay, thank you very much.  If you’d like to view my video either on Facebook or YouTube, the links are below. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Bundle. Did you know when you buy the bundle you save 10%? It’s a great way to buy the stamp set and the dies. I also used the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper which is on sale for 15% off. Today is the last day to take advantage of this great offer.

I started by adhering a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Night of Navy cardstock using the snowflake frame die from the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

I cut a panel of Whisper White Cardstock using the Stitched Nested Dies. I placed the Whisper White panel under the Night of Navy frame and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the snowflake frame to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my So Many Snowflakes Dies I cut 2 of the smallest detailed snowflakes and 1 of the larger detailed snowflakes from a panel of Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper. I cut 1 of the medium snowflakes from a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the Whisper White medium snowflake to the larger Glimmer snowflake using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then then one of the small Glimmer snowflakes to the top of the Whisper White snowflake. If you watched my video you will see that I did have a bit of a problem adhering the Whisper White to the Glimmer paper. I was finally able to get it to stick, it just took a little longer than I expected. I adhered the layered snowflake to the top of the frame using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the other small Glimmer snowflake to the bottom snowflake on the frame using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the larger cluster of snowflake image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on either side of the sentiment, stamping off twice to get a lighter image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowflake cluster image from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off twice, across the bottom of the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card.  The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Hope you are all doing well today.  If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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 our sketch for this week.

Here is my card using this sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Seal.  I embossed a small Whisper White panel using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Silver Foil mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut a couple snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes Dies out of a Silver Foil Sheet and adhered the larger one to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the smaller snowflake on the opposite corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the center section.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink.  I immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the sentiment to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Highland Heather Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the snowflake images from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, some full strength and some stamped off once.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Silver Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the snowflake images from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Highland Heather Ink, some full strength and some stamped off, on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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! Warm and Toasty Cheer 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 anything fun planned for the weekend?  My craft area got a little bit of a makeover yesterday.  I ordered new shelves and they got delivered on Wednesday.  I couldn’t wait to put them together and reorganize my area.  I usually do a reorganization on New Year’s, but it got done a little early this year.  It’s so nice, neat and more spread out that I can find things a little easier.

For today’s card I made an easel card.  I’m not sure if I’ve done this before, but it was a lot of fun.  The easel part was really easy.  Have you ever gone through stamping images and coloring them in and you go to look for the dies and there aren’t any?  I really thought this stamp set came with dies, guess I was thinking of another one.   I had everything stamped, colored and ready and I had to pull out my Paper Snips to fussy cut everything.  Now, if I lived closer to my upline Jaimie, I would have run over to her and asked her to cut them out for me since she is an expert at it.  Here’s my card for today.

My colors are from Sunday Stamps Going Cool Challenge #237.  Here are their colors.

I started by adhering the Highland Heather easel part of the card to a Purple Posey card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered 2 panels of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the base easel section and the outside easel section using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the skating polar bear, singing bunnies and the small polar bear images from the Stampin’ Up! Warm & Toasty Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I stamped the sentiment from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Pacific Point Ink on the same panel.  I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I colored the images in using my Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Pacific Point & Purple Posy Stampin’ Write Markers.  I colored the sleigh in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker.  I fussy cut all the images using my Paper Snips.  I cut the smallest snowflake from the So Many Snowflakes Dies out of a panel of Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper.  Using my Layering Ovals Dies I cut a panel of a Silver Foil Sheet.

I adhered the Silver Foil oval to the base of the easel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the skating polar bear on the foil using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few of the Balmy Blue Glimmer snowflakes to the panel.

On the front panel of the easel I adhered the sentiment to the center using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the singing bunnies to the top of the panel and the small polar bear to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added 2 Balmy Blue Glimmer snowflakes to either side of the sentiment.  I added a few of the Adhesive Backed Snowflakes to the card front and sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel in Pacific Point Ink.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Warm & Toasty stamp set around the sentiment, stamping off twice, in Pacific Point Ink.  I stamped the small polar bear from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel.  I adhered a thin strip of the Balmy Blue Glimmer paper to the side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal and trimmed it using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Purple Posy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the skating polar bear image from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front of the envelope and colored it in using my Balmy Blue & Pacific Point Stampin’ Write Markers.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Pacific Point Ink, stamping off twice, around the bear.  I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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!!

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.
