Stampin’ Up! So Much Happy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  Happy October!!  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’s what I came up with for this weeks sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper to a Night of navy Card base using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered 2 more panel of the Playing With Patterns DSP, 1 to a Night of Navy mat and the other to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the 2 smaller matted panels together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Much Happy Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.

I adhered the sentiment, using Stampin’ Seal, to a Calypso Coral scalloped oval mat which I cut from my Layering Ovals Dies.  I adhered a piece of 1/8″ Night of Navy trim from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack, to the card front using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the matted sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment form the So Much Happy stamp set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I adhered a strip of Playing With Patterns DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy care base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I adhered a strip of Playing With Patterns DSP to the envelope front and a panel 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! So Much Happy

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  We’re halfway through the week already and heading to a long holiday weekend.  I hope you all have Friday off for the 4th of July.

For today I used another new bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  Here’s my card for today.

I started by cutting the ‘HAPPY’ out of a panel of Playing With Patterns 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper using my Happy Dies.  I adhered it to a Night of Navy panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the sentiment on an angle on a panel of Purple Posy card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut out 2 strips of banners using my Happy Dies, one in Calypso Coral and one in Coastal Cabana.  I adhered one above and one below the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using my Paper Snips I trimmed all the excess that was hanging over the card front panel.  I stamped 1 large balloon and 2 small balloons from the Stampin’ Up! So Much Happy Cling Stamp Set in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana Inks on a Whisper White panel.  I cut the balloons, 3 strings and 3 bows out using my Happy Dies.  I adhered the strings to the back of the balloons using Glue Dots and the bows to the front of the balloons using a tiny dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the balloons to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the So Much Happy stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the Whisper White panel.  I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips and adhered it below the die cut sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the card front to a Purple Posy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Mates Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the large & small balloons and strings from the So Much Happy stamp set in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana Inks.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Night of Navy 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 large & small balloons and strings from the So Much Happy stamp set in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana Inks.  I adhered a panel of Playing With Patterns DSP to the envelope flap.
