Stampin’ Up! Winter Dressed To Impress

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It warmed up here this weekend a bit. I thought with the weather last week that we were going to get an early winter.

For today’s card I pulled out one of my favorite sets from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. A coworker asked me to make a good friend of hers a birthday card with shoes on it and she said her favorite colors were blues and purples. Here’s what I came up with.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dressed To Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.

My design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #462. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with the Double ‘D’ Challenge. Their theme is Winter Blues. Here is their mood board.

I started by adhering a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a stitched square out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the smudge image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamped off twice, in the center of the square. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the shoe image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice. I colored the shoes in using my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut the images out using my All Dressed Up Dies. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the shoes to give them a shimmer. I adhered the bottom shoe to the stitched square using Glue Dots and the top shoe using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut another stitched square out of a panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from Dressed To Impress stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the square. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I cut one last stitched square out of a panel of Purple Posy cardstock using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I embossed the panel using my Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered the Purple Posy Square down first using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Misty Moonlight square next using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the square with the shoes on the top of the other 2 using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped 2 sentiments in the center of a Whisper White Panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set and the other is from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set. I stamped the shoe image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set twice on the bottom of the panel. I colored the shoes in using my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers and brushed them with Clear Wink of Stella. I stamped the flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using my Just Jade and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Purple Posy mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the shoe and flower image from the Dressed To Impress stamp set on the bottom front of the envelope in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the images in using my Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the shoes. 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!!

Stampin’ Up! Plaid Gnome For The Holidays for 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.  If you are hopping over from Akiko, 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 awesome projects.
Here are our colors for this week.

Here’s my card using these colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set for today’s card. Can you tell this is my favorite set in the catalog? My design is from TGIF Challenge #290. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the gnome image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I masked the gnome image with a Post-It Note and stamped the tree house image from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set behind the gnome in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. To do the masking, you stamp an image on a Post-It Note and fussy cut it using your Paper Snips. You place the cut image over the stamped image and stamp the next image you want and it will appear to be behind the 1st image. I colored the images in using my Bronze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. One of the colors in the color challenge is Garden Green, but they haven’t made a Garden Green Blends Marker yet, so I used Just Jade. I cut the image out using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Dies from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using Stampin’ Seal. On the back of the matted artwork I added some of the Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack using Glue Dots then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment over the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I added some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Christmas Tree. On the ornaments/lights that I didn’t add rhinestones and the star I used Clear Wink of Stella.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped another one of the gnome images from Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered thin strips of the ‘Tis The Season DSP on the bottom and top of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the 2 gnome images from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory, Just Jade, Petal Pink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Hope everyone had a productive week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I’ll be attending OnStage @ Home all day today and tomorrow. I can’t wait to be able to share some of the new items coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog with you.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watch 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 the card that I made.

My design is from Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #482. Here is their sketch.

I also joined in with Festive Friday Challenge #0071. Here is their Inspo List. I went with Die Cut, Pattern Paper, Sentiment and Fun Fold

For the card front I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the bells in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP into a banner using my Triple Banner Punch and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on top of the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 4 of the pine boughs out using the Sounds Of The Season Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I adhered 3 of the pine boughs under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the medium bell from the Sounds of the Season Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper. I took the holly and berries out of the bell and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the bell and fit the holly and berries, like a puzzle, back into the spaces (they will stick to the Stampin’ Dimensionals). I adhered the pine bough through the little hanger using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the bell just under the sentiment using the Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Directions below for the card base.

The card base takes a full sheet of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I first scored the cardstock in half at 4 1/4″. I turned the cardstock a 1/4 turn and scored again at 2 3/4″ & 8 1/4″. At the 2 3/4″ scored line, I cut from the top to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 3/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. I flipped the cardstock around and lined it up with the 8 1/4″ scored line and again cut down to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 1/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cherish The Season Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the larger double bell image from the Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink next to the sentiment and colored them in using my Gray Granite Stampn’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the gate fold part of the card I adhered 2 panels of ‘Tis The Season DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the double bell image from Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored the image in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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. 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! 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! Rustic Retreat Curvy Christmas for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? If you’re in the path of our latest hurricane, Zeta, I hope you are all safe with little or no damage. We’re getting the remnants of the storm here, lots of rain and some wind and tonight it’s suppose to drop to the 20’s. It might be time for me to give in and put the heat on. The weekend is upon us again and It’s Halloween, luckily it’s suppose to be nice weather for the trick or treaters. Does anyone have any plans? Does anyone dress up for Halloween? Once again I’ll be at work both days. The last day of the month and the first of the month I work no matter the day of the week.

For today’s fun fold I didn’t do this one on my Facebook live. This one is so Quick and Easy I would have been able to get 3 or 4 of them done on a video. Here’s my card for today.

I pulled out an older set from the Annual catalog for this card, the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Cling Stamp Set. I almost passed this one up if it wasn’t for my niece looking at the catalog one day and asking if I had it.. It’s really a great masculine set.

I folded and scored a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. I adhered the inner fold of the card together using Stampin’ Seal. This leaves the actual card front size to be 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″

I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, around the end twice and tied a bow.

I embossed a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock using my Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I curved the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set (available November 3rd) and stamped it along the curve of the oval in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel, stamping off twice, in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the cabin. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake in on 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 and will give it a try. What did you think? Quick and Easy? You can easily make a stack of these in no time. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Sneak Peek Thank You

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope you are all having a productive one. We’re having a rainy week here in NJ, Autumn is in full bloom here also. Leaves have changed and are starting to cover the ground. Most of the trees that is. We have one in our front yard and one in our backyard that haven’t even begun to show signs of changing color let alone drop their leaves. They usually wait till we get all the raking done and the leaves are picked up to drop their leaves. It’s almost like they are watching us and laughing at us.

I have another sneak peek for you to day at the stamp set coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle for you again. I’m really loving this set. My colors were inspired by Fab Friday Challenge #200. Here are their colors. I know the colors probably scream Halloween to you, but I saw them as flowers and dragonflies.

I started by adhering a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to an Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Whisper White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the wild flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set (available January 5, 2021), in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest square from the Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and colored the wings in using my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Dragonflies Punch and brushed the wings using my Clear Wink of Stella. I adhered the dragonfly to the bottom of the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it into a banner using my Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the banner to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on either side of the panel and colored them in using my Highland Heather and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set twice on the envelope front and colored them in using my Highland Heather and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered a panel of the In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The stamp set and punch used will be available to you January 5, 2021 from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The DSP used is available now at a discounted price, but only until Saturday October 31, 2020.

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Hello

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything exciting? I’m ready for another busy week and a rainy one too.

I have another fall card for you today, take a look.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge # 616. Here are their colors.

My sketch is from Hand Stamped Sentiments #350. Here is their sketch.

I joined in with Cardz 4 Galz #133. Their theme is Fall/Autumn.

I also played along with Double “D” Challenge. ‘October…WHAT does it mean to you??

I started by adhering a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut another panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I stamped the top of the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on the side of a Very vanilla panel. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and embossed the panel using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted Ink Nature Cling Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once. I cut the image out using the circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink towards the top of the circle and adhered it to the very vanilla panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 leaves out using the Gathered Leaves Dies, 1 in Cherry Cobbler and 1 in Brushed Metallic paper. I adhered the leaves to the tree trunk image using Glue Dots. I made a triple bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the leaves using a Glue Dot. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the tree trunk image from the Rooted In Nature stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off twice, in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Crumb Cake in over the trunk image. I stamped the leaves from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set along the bottom of the panel in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the leaves from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the tree image.

I adhered a panel of Gilded Autumn Specialty 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! Beautiful World 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 and staying healthy.  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.

I decided to make a masculine card with this sketch. Here’s my card using this sketch.

I played along with The Card Concept Challenge #141 (Around The World). Here is their theme.

I also played along with Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #255. Their challenge is CAS (Clean and Simple)

I started by adhering a panel of World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue. I added 4 of the Antique Corners from the Antique Corners and Slides Elements using Glue Dots.

I cut a panel of the World of Good Specialty DSP using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of World of Good Specialty DSP I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful World Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful World stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the quill image from the Beautiful World stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink above the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the World of Good Specialty DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Brass Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of the World of Good Specialty DSP to the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of the World of Good Specialty 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! Whale Done

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? It is definitely Autumn here in NJ. Temps in the upper 60’s low 70’s during the day with very cool nights in the 40’s & 50’s. I’ve even started to see some leaves changing.

By now you all know that Stampin’ Up! has an amazing Designer Series Paper sale going on right now, 15% off select DSP from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and from the 2020 August – December Mini Catalog. I thought I would showcase some of the different designs from the Whale of a Time 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper pack. The only thing I stamped om my card for today is the sentiments, the rest was all designed with the DSP. My daughter has been asking me to make a turtle card, so here’s what I came up with.

I started by adhering a panel of Whale of a Time DSP to a Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut one panel of the Whale of a Time DSP using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 more panel of Whale of a Time DSP to Pacific Point mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller panel to the longer one, evening up the left side, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut another panel using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut the matching scalloped circle from a panel of Pacific Point cardstock using the Layering Circle Dies. I adhered the stitched DSP panel to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Whale Done Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink. I cut the end using the Banners Pick A Punch and adhered it to the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Whale of a Time Sequins to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Lace Cling Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I adhered 2 strips of Whale of a Time DSP to either side of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Whale of a Time 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! Snowman Season Video Tutorial

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Were you able to join my team yesterday on our World Card Making Day Facebook live videos? It was so much fun watching and stamping along with my fellow team members.

Today’s card is from the 1st video I did yesterday. If you were able to watch live, thank you so much. If not you can watch the replay on the World Card Making Day Facebook page, my Facebook page of my YouTube Channel. Links are all below. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from Mojo Monday Sketch #546. Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Watercooler Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge #291.

I joined in with Jingle Bells Dashing Through The Snow Challenge.

I started by embossing a panel of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a Thich Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink on the small square panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP. I adhered the 2 rectangle panels and the sentiment panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP to Silver Foil mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the snowman image from the Snowman Season stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut the image out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut the matching scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the artwork 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 Snowman Season stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snowman Season stamp set around the sentiment in Pool Party Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the snowflake image from the Snowman Season stamp set in Pool Party Ink on the bottom of the envelope.

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. The list of supplies are below along with the measurements if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.  You can watch it on our Inkin’ World Card Making Day Facebook page Here. Or my Facebook page Here.

You can also watch the video on my YouTube Channel Here. Happy Stamping!!
