Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek Desert Details Bundle for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Welcome to a Tuesday hop with Amy’s Krew! The theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that however…,I’ve created what I consider a masculine card with this delightfully fun Desert Details Bundle available in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, so Jan 5! I can’t believe I’m writing 2023 on stuff – ‘cuz I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

Stampin' Up! AIK Krew Team Blog Hop

The Desert Details Bundle is very Aztec’y’, different & delightful (‘cuz it is different). I’ve used Designer Series Papers from the suite of products and an embellishment from the suite as well: Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP & Dry-Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (also 12×12); Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins .

This doesn’t give a very good image of the center DSP – let’s try another photo…

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13.2

Here ya go – now you can see the inner DSP a bit better. Look at that wonderful detail! The colors in the various papers of this particular DSP are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. The polka dot in the background is one of the papers, as is the shiny (this is the Dry-Brushed Specialty DSP!) AND the center paper as well (Delicate Desert DSP). Aren’t they F-U-N? And you see I added a copper trim. And those wonderful embellishments are Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Here’s what I created on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Bundle

Here you can see two of the very decorative long stamps – stamped in Gray Granite. The sentiment is also part of the Desert Details stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The very thin strips were remnants from the copper die cut on the front and I had to use them. Unfortunately the more detailed strip isn’t on straight, but can see how very cool it is.

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful detail stamp in Gray Granite near the edge of the envelope, then added more of the Delicate Desert DSP to the flap. This is just a wonderful masculine card. I love the layers of it and all the detail, yet it can so easily be sent to a man. Let’s take a quick peek at the bundle and a closer look at the DSP used.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Chic DSP and More for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday to you! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop with a fun sketch challenge.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 12/8
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge 12/8

Time is quickly nearing Christmas – how many days? I’m not going to count, it’s too scary! We have our tree up & decorated and I finally found the tree skirt :O) I put it away in a different place last year but couldn’t remember just where that was :O( We don’t usually put our tree up quite so early (it’s fresh cut) but hubby is having knee replacement surgery next week and everything will go on hold for a bit. I’m hoping to continue posting regularly but we’ll see. My goal is to prep ahead so I can give him all the time necessary, but … there’s always a but.

Today’s card uses two main stamp bundles: both the Seasoned Chic with Chic Dies and Christmas Banners with Christmas Banners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.1

The card base is a typical A2 tent card on it’s side with Evening Evergreen. I’ve layered a panel of Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP on Basic White and adhered it to the card front, leaving a border both top & bottom. Next I used the splendid Chic Dies to die cut snowflakes from Basic White and Soft Succulentcard stocks. Then I stamped the banner on Basic White with Soft Succulent ink and the Christmas Banners stamp set. The words on the banner are also Soft Succulent ink and come from the Christmas Banner stamp set. I attached the banner to the card front with dimensionals then added the snowflakes with liquid glue, glue dots or dimensionals.nFor a bit of extra glam and to bring in another color, I used the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and love the subtle contrast!

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.2

For the inside, snowflakes from the Season of Chic stamp set stamped randomly in Soft succulent ink. The sentiment comes from the Season of Chic stamp set and is in Evening Evergreen ink. All this on a Basic White panel then secured into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.3

For the envelope, a coordinating panel of the Textured Chic DSP for the flap and a few more snowflakes from Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on the front – and done! This card has a real elegance and simplicity at the same time: soft colors and not too fussy. This would an easy card to replicate if necessary.

Now – time to move along the hop to the fabulous Carol Buckalew. Either click on the ‘next’ button or on a name if you prefer to hop around.

Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace + DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the hop! We have a sketch challenge today that has all kinds of possibilities. I hope you too will find the hop inspiring and want to join our fun.

Stampin' Up! Hope & Peace + DSP, Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 11/10

My card pretty much follows the sketch, don’t you think? This particular piece of DSP is from Painted Christmas DSP and I love the softness of this background. I layered this panel on a Basic White piece and adhered it to the Garden Green card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog. It was stamped on Basic White and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I had another scrap of the Painted Christmas DSP and cut it to 3/4″ x 2 12. I put this in place on the card front then added the stamped circle die cut over it using dimensionals. For a bit of added color and glam I added the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins. All the half dimensionals used on the back of the circle hold both the circle & the strip in place 😏

Stampin' Up! Hope & Peace + Merriest Moments.2

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink on the Basic White inside panel. I pulled out the Merriest Moments stamp set which is a carry-over and stamped the holly leaves in Garden Green ink.I added more of the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins in Sweet Sorbet and really like the added touch.

Stampin' UP! Hope & Peace + DSP. blog hop 11/10

For the envelope, more of the same Painted Christmas DSP on the envelope flap. For the front of the envelope I stamped the holly leaves from Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green ink, then stamped the berries from the same stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink ~ and the card/ envelope was done!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Welcome! Today’s hop challenge is to create something for the holidays. You will see quite a variety today so I hope you make the rounds of all participants.

My card for today is different for me and I can’t decide… well, you will have to see for yourself. I began with Crumb Cake card stock for an A2 size card. I die cut two circles with the Stylish Shapes Dies, one using the Tea Boutique 6×6 DSP ‘cuz it looks like snowflakes to me! The other is in vellum using the Lovely Layers Vellum run through the Wintry 3D embossing folder after being die cut, using the snowflake folder. You remember this is a two folder item, right? The other folder has pine needle branches which I also love.

Stampin' Up! C'mas for the Tue Hop 11/8

The background circle is in Sweet Sorbet and I put dimensionals on the back to adhere to the card front. Vellum, because it shows any adhesive, is attached with glue dots behind the added sequins 😁 The sequins are Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels. The way I did that was to attach the sequins, then add the glue dots to adhere it to the other circle. The tree comes from the Happy Forest Dies. Trees are one of my favorite dies – and this is like a ‘Charlie Brown’ tree to me. I die cut three of these from Thick Basic White card stock and adhered them together for strength and depth. I cut mini dimensionals to use behind the trunk of the tree and a bit of liquid glue for the part that attaches to the vellum circle. I added an additional cut mini dimensional to the back of the vellum to support the top of the tree so it’s pretty solid.

The sentiment is from the Hope & Peace stamp set and is stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink on a Basic White panel die cut with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I enlarged it a bit to fit the sentiment. This too was added with dimensionals behind it ~ and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! C'mas for the hop 11/8

For the inside… another of the sentiments from Hope & Peace stamp set stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink on the Basic White panel. This was adhered with liquid glue to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! C'mas Tue Hop 11/8

The envelope got more of the Sweet Sorbet Tea Boutique 6×6 DSP panel adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Now… time to visit the others on the hop. You may click the next or previous buttons if you started here or click on a name to take you elsewhere. Enjoy the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Christmas DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning! We have a fun sketch challenge for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Inkin' Blog Hop 10/27
Stampin' Up! Inkin' Hop Sketch Challenge

This is such a fun sketch that my mind was whirling with ideas. I finally settled with this card.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest C'mas DSP.1

I’ve used the Sweetest Christmas DSP as the focus for this challenge – both as background and center image. These candy canes are so cute! I’ve also used Layering Circles Dies, Harvest Dies for the sentiment banner, 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine in Sweet Sorbet, and for additional embellishment the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins in Sweet Sorbet. It should be no surprise then, that all the layer backgrounds are Sweet Sorbet :O)

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Canes for the inside.2

For the inside… Sweet Candy Canes stamp set and Sweet Sorbet ink for the candy cane & Garden Green ink for the sentiment – also from Sweet Candy Canes stamp set ~ stamped on Basic White card stock and layered on Sweet Sorbet, then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest C'mas DSP for Thur hop.3

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold for the Thursday Happy Inkin’ Blog Hop

Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Day! We have a color change this week and I have created a fun fold and used lots of DSP & layers :O) You may have joined me from the fabulous Tara and if so, thanks for hopping over.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop color challenge

And here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold. Thu Hop

I’ve used Boughs of Holly 12 x 12 DSP, the Mistletoe Magic stamp set, Stitched Rectangles Dies and a few other Stampin’ Up! products to make this stunning card. It’s bold, it catches your eye, but it is not gawdy by any means. Love this fun fold and I’ve made it before – just not very recently. Let’s see if I can break this down so you too, can make this fun fold.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock. The next layer is either Basic White or Mossy Meadow followed by the Boughs of Holly DSP. You can also see that I added a Wonderful Snowflake at one corner to just ‘show off’. I really like the accent it makes :O) The sentiment on the front is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink with the Mistletoe Magic stamp set. I happen to really like this font so you may see it often. It was die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles and is adhered with dimensionals to the small folded card in front. I’ve added a few Iridescent Pearls to the die cut for a bit of sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.2

In this photo you can see how the inside of the card opens – and the Wonderful Snowflake shows to its fullest glory. This also shows off the beautiful Boughs of Holly DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.3

In the far right photo you can see the full inside of the card. And here’s the thing – you would not have to have both panels in stamped Basic White. The one on the left could just as easily be another panel of DSP. Both panels are stamped with Memento ink. The bow is colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends, while the mistletoe is colored with Garden Green reinker and a Water Painter + Cherry Cobbler Blends for the berries. The sentiment is from Mistletoe Magic also and stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. This will be a card in which lots of news updates will be written. :O)

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly DSP Fun Fold Thu Hop.4

In this photo you can see the full front of the card with the focus on the small card & the ribbon. The ribbon is attached on the Basic White card front with the Mossy Meadow & DSP layers adhered over it. The ribbon is Natural Finish Ribbon and I love it. It can be stamped and it makes a wonderful bow.

Here the mini card is open to show off more DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.6

And the photo on the right show the mini card fully opened. You could just as easily have the stamped panel on the right & DSP on the left. I might prefer that another time; this is just how it came together this time. The stamped panel is stamped in Memento ink using the Mistletoe Magic stamp set & colored with Real Red Blends and Garden Green reinker & a Water Painter. Add reinker to the lid of the Garden green ink pad, add a single drop of water from the Water painter, swish around to ink the brush and paint the leaves without adding any water at all.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.7

This photo shows exactly the ribbon and how it ‘fits’ holding the card. It is only attached under the mini card front, while the rest is loose to wrap around the card to secure it closed and make a half bow.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.8

Here you see the finished card and the envelope: more of the Boughs of Holly DSP on the flap and on the front the beautiful mistletoe from Mistletoe Magic stamp set. And yep – stamped in Memento ink, colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends and Garden Green Reinker with a Water Painter. All card cuts will be listed below. I look forward to you sharing your creations with me.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners, 9/1.1

This was fun challenge sketch. I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do, but wanted to show off some DSP and this was the result. The DSP is Boughs of Holly and it has some stunning papers in the package. These sweet poinsettias and that stripe – love them together. And that rather mottled piece is from the same packet. It sets everything apart. Those gold pine boughs are from the Christmas Banners Dies and die cut from Brushed Metallic DSP. There are three of them. The sentiment banner stamped on Basic White is from the Christmas Banners stamp set, die cut with the Christmas Banners Dies. The banner portion was stamped in Evening Evergreen while the sentiment is in Cherry Cobbler. And those uber cute embellishments? Those are Red & Green Adhesive-Backed Pearls found in the Jul-Dec Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners, 9/1, inside.2

Let me explain the inside. I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut the poinsettia DSP on the card front & placed the die in the center of the paper to create this ‘frame’ for the inside. Clever, right? I adhered the Basic White to the back of the ‘frame’ in order to realize the proper spacing for stamping. The sentiment is from Christmas Banners stamp set and done in Evening Evergreen ink. The sprig of berries is Evening Evergreen for the branch and Real Red for the berries. I wanted them vibrant! This was adhered to the inside of the card – and done.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Banners, 9/1.3

The envelope uses the same DSP for the flap, just the reverse side. And the spray of berries was accomplished the same manner as the inside of the card.What do you think… do you approve? This is a blog hop and I want you to be certain to visit all the ‘players.’ Click on the next button or click on a name to continue.

Stqmpin’ Up! hello Harvest and Plaid for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello!!! And welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today that just seems perfect for a fall card. Here’s what i created for it…

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest & Plaid.1
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Our color challenge is as seen in this photo…

The plaid is from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP and it’s Crushed Curry. The background DSP is Pumpkin Pie in the same 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP. I used it to cover the card front of the Pumpkin Pie card base. And I used the Stitched Rectangles to create the rectangles. Here’s a picture of how I die cut that.

Stampin' Up! Harvest Hello & Plaid w/ Stitched Rectangles. 2

It’s obvious how I held everything in place while I did the Stitched Rectangles die cuts. It was perfect… I adhered these in place with liquid glue – please notice how all the plaids line up just right in the completed card.:O)

The next step was the pumpkin – stamped on Basic White Thick card stock then colored with Stampin’ Blends… Pumpkin Pie, Light then Dark; Cajun Craze, Light & Dark. The stem was colored with Mossy Meadow Marker. The pumpkin was die cut with the pumpkin die from the Rustic Pumpkin Die (which of course coordinates w/ the Hello Harvest stamp set. As a bundle it’s 10% off!) This pumpkin was adhered in place with dimensionals after attaching a bit of Linen Thread with Stampin’ Seal. Here’s a photo of that…

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest  & Plaid.3

I stamped the small flowers in Memento Ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie and die cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. The flower on the left was secured in place with glue dots and the other two with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink as well, on basic White, and die cut with Stitched Rectangles. This was adhered in place with dimensional on the left and one in the upper right corner and a bit of glue on the lower right corner. As a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Dots were added for a bit of glam. I like it! And that was it for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest & Paid, inside.4

For the inside, I kept it real simple… and stamped the image in Memento Black on Basic White card stocl and adhered it to the inside of the card. The image is from Hello Harvest stamp set. This was attached in place with liquid glue ~ and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same plaid from 2022-2024- In Color 6×6 DSP in crushed Curry on the flap and the very nice bouquet stamped in Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly + Merriest Moments for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hi there! We have a challenge for our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop that is sketch challenge and here’s what I did for it.

Stampin' Up! Slimline card with Boughs of Holly DSP & more
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 7/18/22
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I’ve chosen to do a slimline card :O) for this challenge using the Boughs of Holly DSP as the main focus. I even used another piece of DSP as a layer behind the super colorful panel. I colored the Crinkled Seam Binding with a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends to ‘tie’ it all together. And the sentiment on the front is on a Basic White piece stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Leaves of Holly stamp set & die cut with the Holly Berry Dies. These two coordinate & so when purchased together offer a 10% discount!!! Just sayin’… if you want this bundle, this is the way to go. OK, what else…you can see I slipped the ribbon behind the sentiment banner for a bit of fun. I think it adds a nice touch. The ribbon is adhered in place with a glue dot and the piece that slips behind the sentiment banner also has a glue dot. The banner is on dimensionals. Measurements will be given at the end of this post. :O)

Stampin' Up! slimline card, inside, Merriest Moments

For the inside I used another piece of the same DSP as on the layer on the front, from Boughs of Holly DSP. then added a Basic White panel. This panel is stamped using Merriest Moments stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. The holly leaves are stamped first in Old Olive ink, stamped off, then with a sponge dauber, inked with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped on the panel. I love this look, the varied colors so similar to nature! Again, card stock measurements will be listed at the end of this post.

Stampin' Up! Slimline Envelopes

And here’s the Slimline Envelope (157981) decorated using the Merriest Moments stamp set.I inked the holly leaf stamp in Old Olive, stamped off, used the sponge dauber & Shaded Spruce ink to add a bit of variation, then stamped the envelope with each holly leaf. And that was it!!! YAY!

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme this week is ‘Harvest’ and I’ve chosen to use the baby wipe technique and the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings and bay wipe technique

Harvest just says ‘fall’ to me… and here it is almost mid August. Already the sky is not light as late at night and remains darker later in the morning. Boo hoo! But I love seasons, so I’m not complaining. I was playing with the baby wipe technique and these came out so softly that at first I didn’t like it, but the more I played, the more I DID like it. My baby wipe was a bit dry and that’s why I think it turned out so softly, but as I said, I like it. If you haven’t done this technique before, I urge you to try it… it’s super easy

  • the baby wipe should be on a large acrylic plate or a ceramic one, something that will protect your surface from the wetness – and be flat too of course.
  • drop various re-inker colors on the baby wipe: I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Garden Green and Crumb Cake (harvest/ fall colors). Allow them to bleed together.
  • With the stamp on an acrylic block, stamp onto the inked baby wipe then onto the desired card stock. I used Very Vanilla for this card. Continue as many times as needed for the effect you are wanting.
  • Because I had extra card stock on my table, I stamped for the inside layer and the envelope front ~ and each time the image was different in colors. L-O-V-E!

I trimmed my focal image down and adhered it to a Pumpkin Pie panel. It was at this point I created my background: Regals 6×6 DSP in Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – adhered to Pumpkin Pie. I wrapped this with a length of Frayed Ribbon and attached it in back with Seal+, then mounted it on a Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. I took my baby wipe focal piece and attached it with dimensionals to the card front. For the sentiment, I stamped this in Soft Suede ink using the True Beauty stamp set on a Very Vanilla strip. I wanted a scrolly kind of font that imitated the swirly of the front image. This was added to another piece of Pumpkin Pie and added to the front with dimensionals. As a final touch – Amber Gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack. And the front was done.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings baby wipe technique

Remember this inside is already stamped with the maple leaf whirly-gigs :O) using the baby wipe technique explained above. And yes, it’s Very Vanilla card stock added to a Pumpkin Pie layer, then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings baby wipe technique

For the envelope, I stamped the leaf image using the baby wipe technique on the front, then more of the Regals 6×6 DSP Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – on the flap & voila – the card is done. Depending on the color of re-inkers used for this technique, this card could be in deep purples with bits of Crumb Cake or Crushed Curry – hmmm I may have to try that! – or shades of red. You really can use your imagination and use just about any color combo. Have fun with it!

OK – now, on with the hop. You may use the next button or click on a name to get you where you’re going. Enjoy!
