Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Thanks

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It’s actually warming up a little here, but this could just be another tease here in NJ. I’m counting the days till spring gets here.

Today’s card is one more that we made at our class last week. I focused on using the 2020-2022 In-Colors since they will be retiring in April. Each of the ladies had a different card for this one. I cut different DSP patterns for each of them to make the cards just a little different. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by cutting the center of a Sweet Symmetry card front panel using the 4th largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the larger panel of the DSP to a Just Jade card base.

I adhered the cut panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Just Jade mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade & Gold 3/8″ Braided Ribbon around the layered panel and tied a bow on the side. I adhered the panel to the center of the card front, making sure to line up the flowers, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Square Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem and leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Just Jade mat and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on top of the stem. I adhered a panel of Sweet Symmetry 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! In Symmetry CAS

Posted on July 27, 2021 by Karen Ksenzakovic

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’
Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the top of the panel. On the bottom of the panel I first stamped the stem for the flower in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the stem. I stamped the large flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on top of the stem

I adhered the artwork to a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock using Stampin’ Seal on an angle. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Bumblebee Matte Decorative Dot (available Aug 3rd), to the flower center.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the large flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set on the stem in Calypso Coral Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower/stem/leaves images from the In Symmetry stamp set on the envelope front in Calypso Coral and Just Jade Inks. I adhered a panel of the Sweet Symmetry 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! In Symmetry Friendship

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope all the Father’s out there got a little spoiled.

I have a quick card for you today using a new set that I just got. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! In Symmetry Photopolymer Stamp set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #366.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #490.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Bumblebee card stock to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink. I stamped the stem image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink twice below the flower. I stamped the small, medium and large leaves from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the stem. I fussy cut the flower image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front 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 flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set twice, stamping off once each time, in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the In Symmetry stamp set in Just Jade Ink on top of the flower 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 decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the In Symmetry stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the stem and leaves in Just Jade Ink. I adhered a panel of the Sweet Symmetry 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!!

Changes To The Upcoming July-December Mini Catalog And Second Sale-a-bration

Stampin’ Up! has shared the following update with us related to the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog and second Sale-a-bration this year. With the global shipping delays, they will be moving the start dates for those two publications back by one month. Here are the details from Stampin’ Up!:

We’ve recently been made aware that, due to the current global shipping crisis tied to the COVID pandemic, we are not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for the upcoming July–December 2021 Mini Catalog or July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration in time for the catalog launches. After careful consideration we have decided to push the launches of both publications back by one month to allow time for inventory to be received.

Change Details

The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will in effect become the August–December 2021 Mini Catalog (though the title of the publication will not change).
- Demonstrator Preorder: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
- Customer Sales Period: August 3, 2021– January 3, 2022
July–August 2021 Sale-A-Bration will in effect become August–September 2021 Sale-A-Bration.
- Demonstrator Pre-earn: July 1, 2021 – August 2, 2021
- Customer Earning Period: August 3, 2021 – September 30, 2021

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! made the decision to move the catalog timing back by a month in order to minimize those frustrating backorders and unavailable items! Let me know if you have questions about this. Can’t wait to see the upcoming Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs this summer! And as always, I’ll get those catalogs mailed out to you just as quickly as I can once I get them in early July!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks

Posted on June 7, 2021 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do some fun activities. This was not the weekend I planned at all. Saturday night we spent at the animal hospital with my 13 yr old puppy Jasmine. They had to admit her for the night so they could monitor her. By the time I got home and to sleep it was time to get up for work on Sunday, so I only got maybe 3 hours of sleep. Sunday afternoon Jasmine was able to come home and we just have to watch her for the next couple days, but she seems to be doing much better and is more like herself. She’s just a little more tired than normal, which is to be expected after what she went through.

Today’s card has very little stamping. I let the DSP and Embossing Folder do all the work for me. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder.

My colors were inspired by TGIF Challenge #319.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on an angle. I trimmed the excess off using my Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic Gray cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut each end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set in Night of Navy Ink towards the top of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Symmetry DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy 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 Sweet Symmetry 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!!
