Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Birthday

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have plans? I’ll be at work all day today, but it turns out I have off tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be staying inside no matter what. We’re supposed to be in the 100’s Sunday. My tomato plants are thriving with this heat, and I’m only supposed to water on odd days. I am giving them just a little water on even days and really soaking them on the odd days. We’re in a bit of a drought here so the water company has asked for us to conserve water and only water on odd days. We haven’t had any rain here for almost a month now and with the heat everything is drying out, it actually looks like fall on some of my neighbors’ lawns. They are covered with leaves that have fallen from the trees because of lack of rain.

Today’s card is for my neighbor, co-worker and friend. I hired her at the hardware store over 20 years ago, then I just happen to buy the house next to where she was living 29 years ago. We’ve been through a lot together. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Bundle along with the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Happy Forest Friends DSP to a Sahara Sand card base. I adhered another panel of Happy Forest Friends DSP to a Sahara Sand mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images using my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Night of Navy, Pale papaya, Petal Pink, Soft Suede, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Gnome Dies. I adhered the die cut images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Tailored Made Tags Dies. I threaded a piece of White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack, through the tag and tied a bow. I adhered the tag to the card front in the gnome’s hand using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the gnome image from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Petal Pink, Soft Suede, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and the to the inside of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Happy Forest Friends DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Path for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

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 Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Path Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors this week.

I started by wrapping a piece of the Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon around a Flowering Fields DSP card front adhering it on the back with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Flowering Fields DSP to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the stem images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flowers from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Highland Heather, Petal Pink & Poppy Parade Inks on the stems. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, along the bottom of the panel. I cut the image our using the largest Layering Circles Dies. I cut a coordinating scallop circle from a panel of Pool Party cardstock using the largest scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies. I adhered the artwork to the scallop circle and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink and cut it out using the smallest Tailor-Made Tags Die. I stamped the tiny flower image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on either side of the sentiment. I threaded a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack through the tag and tied a small bow. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the artwork.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped 3 of the stem images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the flower images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Highland Heather, Petal Pink & Poppy Parade Inks on the stems. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the 2-stem image s from the Wildflower Path stamp set on the envelope front in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the flower images from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Highland Heather, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade Inks. I stamped the grass image from the Wildflower Path stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped off once, across the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Flowering Fields 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! Daffodil Daydream for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Karen Ksenzakovic

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 Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Color Challenge. I played with one of the new Host stamp sets and used my not so favorite color that I really do like with this card. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Bundle along with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to a Very Vanilla mat and then to a Mossy Meadow card base.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the single daffodil image from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I cut the image out using my Tailored Made Tags Dies. I stamped the butterfly image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, colored it using my Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut it out using my Daffodil Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the tag using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I tied a piece of Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the top of the tag.

I cut the same size Tailor Made Tag from a panel of Daffodil Afternoon DSP. I adhered the DSP tag to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the stamped tag over the DSP tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banner Pick a Punch and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Very Vanilla Polished Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the single daffodil image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I had stamped 2 of the butterfly images from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set on the Very Vanilla panel. I colored one in using my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers and adhered it by the flower image. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the single flower image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image in using my Evening Evergreen and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink around the flower, stamping off once. I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Spiral Dye Biggest Wish

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Do you have plans for Father’s Day. My husband finally told my daughter what he would like for dinner. I’m not sure if she’s making him a dessert or not.

Today’s card I have a pretty simple one for you playing with a new stamp from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Spiral Dye Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for todays card.

My colors are from the Color Throwdown Challenge #647.

I started by stamping the spiral image from the Spiral Dye stamp in Granny Apple Green Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamping off once. I used my Stamparatus so that placement for the next color would be easy.

I turned the cardstock 180` placing it exactly where it was and stamped the spiral image in Polished Pink, stamping off once, over the Granny Apple Green. I cut the cardstock down to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ panel using my Trimmer. I adhered the panel to a Polished Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the ‘Happy’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Polished Pink Ink. I stamped the ‘birthday’ sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink over the Polished Pink image. I cut the sentiment out using my Tailor Made Tags Dies. I cut the small reinforcers out of a scrap of Polished Pink card stock using my Tailor Made Tags Dies and adhered them to the tag using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the matted panel twice, threaded it through the hole on the tag and tied a bow. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tag. I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the spiral image from the Spiral Dye stamp in Polished Pink Ink, stamping off once, to a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sunny Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink over the spiral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink 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 Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Polished Pink 2021-2023 In-Color Designer Series Paper 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!!

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! Beauty of Friendship Masculine Card

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Monday morning my stamping friends and Happy Memorial Day!!! Please remember the reason we celebrate today. For all those that gave their lives for us, that never made it back home to their families.

Hard to believe another month gone. Is anyone going to or having a picnic today? I’ll be having a small picnic like I do every year. My daughter’s birthday falls near Memorial Day every year, so we always celebrate her birthday with a picnic. Hopefully all this rain we’ve been having will clear up to be an ok day. I think we’ve had all the rain we were suppose to have in April and May in these past 4 days. Today’s card is another one we will be making at our Stamp Camp card class tomorrow night. My design is from my team leader Amy Koenders. She made cards with this design, but different DSP a while back and I asked her if I could CASE it for my class. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Bundle for my card today along with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. This DSP will be retiring at the end of June. If it’s paper that you like, get it before it’s gone. I think it’s the perfect masculine paper.

I started by cutting a panel of Well Suited DSP using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to a Pacific Point card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From another panel of the Well Suited DSP I cut the largest tag from the Tailored Tags Dies. I cut the small tag topper from a scrap of Pacific Point cardstock using the Tailored Tags Dies and adhered it to the top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I threaded a piece of Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon through the top and looped it so it would hold. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the label die from the Beautiful Trees Dies. I cut another label out from a strip of Pacific Point cardstock. I adhered the Pacific Point label to the tag using Stampin’ Seal then the sentiment label above using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Well Suited DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I added a strip of the Well Suited DSP to the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my CAS card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
