Stampin’ Up! Wishes & Wonders

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and just about the end of the month. I hope everyone is having a good week.

Today I played with a bundle I haven’t played with yet. I’ve used one of the sentiments, but not the whole bundle. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Wishes & Wonder Bundle for today’s card along with the DSP’s that go with the suite.

I started by adhering a panel of Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 panels of ‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper using the tag die from the North Pole Wonder Dies.

I stamped the sentiment and the mistletoe image from the Stampin’ Up! Wishes & Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the images out using the North Pole Wonder Dies. I cut 4 small and 2 large sprigs from a panel of Gold Foil using the North Pole Wonder Dies. I colored the mistletoe in using my Garden Green Re-Inker and my Water Painters filled with alcohol and my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered the tags together using the gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack. I adhered the bottom tag to the card front using Glue Dots and the top tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the mistletoe to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment below the mistletoe using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I inserted the sprigs behind the mistletoe and sentiment using Glue Dots. I added a few Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the mistletoe image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set on the top and bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the images in using my Water Painters filled with alcohol using my Garden Green Re-Inker and my Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden 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 mistletoe image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I colored the images in using my Water Painters filled with alcohol and my Garden Green Re-Inker and my Real Red 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Poinsettia Petals CAS

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I have to work today and I have a busy work week ahead of me. I was able to get my house all decorated for fall yesterday.

I have another Clean & Simple card for you today that is also Quick & Easy. Here’s my card for today.

My design is from CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #391. Here is their sketch.

My colors are from Just Add Ink Challenge #524. Here are their colors.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Merry Merlot card front. I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I adhered 2 panels of Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Merry Merlot card front, above the sentiment, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut 2 holly leaves out of a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock using the Sweetest Borders Dies. I stamped the berry image from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Time Photopolymer Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink on a scrap of Rococo Rose and cut them out using the Sweetest Borders Dies. I adhered the holly leaves to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the berries on top of the leaves using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the holly leaf image from the Sweetest Time stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on either side of the sentiment. I stamped the berries from the Sweetest Time stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink on the holly leaves. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Rococo Rose card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the holly leaves and berries from the Sweetest Time stamp set on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Wonder of the Season 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! Christmas Means More CAS

Posted on August 25, 2020 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. How has everyone’s week started off? I hope everyone had a productive one.

For today I have a quick and easy card for you. Here’s today’s card.

I started by adhering a Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Series Paper card front to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted card front to an Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I colored the bells in using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to a scalloped Cherry Cobbler mat that I had cut using my Layering Circle Dies.

I adhered a piece of 1/8″ Old Olive/Gold Trim from the All The Trimmings 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.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wrapped In Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the bell image from the Christmas Means More stamp set on the top of the panel and by the sentiment. I colored the bells in using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the bell image from the Christmas Means More stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Wonder of the Season 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!!
