Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 11/16

Good morning! Time for another Inkin’ Hop. The theme challenge this week is a color challenge – imagine that?! Just look at all these wonderful colors.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel, card front

Notice all those colors for the challenge? They are in the coloring and the Joy of Christmas DSP. The Joy of Noel Bundle is just so wonderful… I love the words, the decorative stamps and the dies. What I did here is stamp the holly & berry ‘spray’ in Memento ink, twice, on Basic White card stock. I always find it easier to color a larger piece than a small one, so I color it then die cut. Make sense? The coloring is done with Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive (both light & dark) for the leaves, Shaded Spruce (both light & dark) for the holly, Light Real Red for the berries sand a bit of Dark Cherry Cobbler for shading on the berries. I die cut these and set them aside to prep the Thick Basic White card base. I caut a piece of the red plaid pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered it to the card front. I laid the two die cut ‘spray’ pieces just for placement purposes to know where to stamp the sentiment. After removing them I stamped the sentiment from Joy of Noel stamp set in Real Red ink. I adhered the two die cut ‘spray’s on dimensionals along the top line of the DSP. I scattered some notes & holly from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package. I stamped the word ‘noel’ on Real Red card stock with Real Red ink, die cut them and adhered them directly to the ‘sprays’. As a final touch, I cut a short length of the Large Check Ribbon in Black & Very vanilla and attached it under the spray with a glue dot. Very cheerful & festive!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel, card inside

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White card stock and adhered a very narrow strip of the Joy of Christmas DSP near the bottom of the panel. I then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink, still using the Joy of Noel stamp set. I attached three red gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package with a dob of glue, adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope

For the envelope, I took another pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP, adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. On the front I stamped the berry spray in Memento ink, then added Stampin’ Blends in Real Red to the berries. This card is so clean & traditional, friendly & bright. – I really like it.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Magic Card

Good Saturday! If you’re a demonstrator, today is a special day – OnStage @Home! We learn all kinds of new tricks & tips PLUS we see the next new catalog – the Jan-April 2024 Catalog & the Sale-a-bration Catalog as well. We’ll work with some of the new products we were able to order as well. :O) It’s going to be a F-U-N day!

OK, my card…

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic front

I’ve used a couple of products here on the card front: Three-Color Glimmer Paper in Pretty Peacock (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), the Snowflake Magic DSP from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, Chic Dies from the Annual Catalog (snowflakes), Christmas Classics Dies (to die cut the banner) and Brightest Glow stamp set for the sentiment. I also added a single Festive Pearl to the two die cut snowflakes on the banner. The snowflakes were die cut from a scrap of the Snowflake Magic DSP and layered with a trimmed down dimensional. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder then heat set. It’s so fun to see the embossing powder come to ‘life’ so to speak.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card, inside

For the inside… on a Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set (Annual Catalog) in Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the two snowflakes in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card & envelope

For the envelope, the same snowflake was stamped on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set. The flap got more of the Snowflake Magic DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. Love the simplicity and fun of this card! Hope you do as well.

    • Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Dark Real Red, Dark Cherry Cobbler
    • Die cut image with coordinating die (Joy of Noel Dies)

For the inside, I stamped this delightful holly stamp from Christmas Classics stamp set in Memento ink, then the berries from the same stamp set in Real Red ink: To color the holly I used Stampin’ Blends Shaded Spruce. All this on a Basic White panel and then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope.hop 11/9

For the envelope, more of the Joy of Christmas DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. On the front, the very same holly and berries stamped in Memento ink using the Christmas Classics stamp set. These were colored with Stampin’ Blends for the holly and the berries stamped in Real Red ink.

Choosing the background papers was the most difficult for me :O], but I like the finished product, although a bit darker than I would like. Anyhoo… on with the hop!

Stampin’ Up! 6 x 3 Gift Cards

Good morning! I have some small gift cards for you today. I was inspired by a. post by Artisan Design Team member Tammy White who made 3 x 3 cards. I happen to like something a bit larger in order to write my message, whatever that is. And, I like it in an envelope. Stampin’ Up! has envelopes for 3″ size creations and they really are quite perfect for a 6 x 3 gift card.

Stampin' Up! 6 x 3 Gift Cards
Stampin' Up! 6 x 3 Gift Cards.2

Aren’t these fun? The card stock base is Thick Basic White cut 6 x 3 and scored @ 3. Each uses a panel of Winter Meadow DSP, some torn and one attached on an angle. I like this particular panel of DSP – shades of Pebbled Path & Smoky Slate, trees and deer. It’s comforting and not bold and can be used for a masculine gift as well. Supplies to make these were not a lot, but the list may seem long – I just don’t do two exactly alike and there’s the rub!

For the gift card on the far left: I ran the bottom Winter Meadow DSP through the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and die cut the pine bough from Shaded Spruce card stock using the Joy of Noel Dies. Embellishments the Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins. I also used the remaining glitter from the October Paper Pumpkin on the pine bough. It doesn’t show in this photo, but in real life it does! The stamp on the envelope front is from the Magical Meadow stamp set and stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

The gift card next to it has a piece of the Snowflake Magic SDSP as the bottom layer. The two die cut pieces are from Shimmer Paper and Snowflake Magic SDSP die cut with Magical Meadow Dies. They are held in place with a glue dot and a Metallic Ribbon In Tahitian Tide was added over top. Three Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins were added for a bit of bling.

In the next photo, the gift card on the left the Winter Meadow DSP is added at an angle and on dimensionals. The die cuts use the Magical Meadow Dies, Shimmer Paper and Snowflake Magic SDSP. You can see one of the die cuts was trimmed and peeking out from the left side under the DSP. Over top is a double bow tied with separated black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. The envelope front was stamped in Pebbled Path ink using the same stamp from Magical Meadow stamp set.

Stampin' Up! 6 x 3 Gift Card.4
Stampin' Up! 6 x 3 Gift Card 4 inside

The last card is probably my favorite: it has the Snowflake Sky 3D EF embossed panel of Winter Meadow DSP on the card with the layer of the trees/ deer from Winter Meadow DSP on dimensionals. Before attaching the top layer, I wrapped separated black twine around one end and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. The twine is from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. On this card I added three gems from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack. I also stamped a portion of the sentiment in Memento ink using the Stars At Night stamp set, then stamped the rest of the sentiment on the inside of the gift card on the adhered torn DSP. The envelope front got the same tree stamp from Magical Meadow stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflakes with Wishes All Around

Good morning, good morning! It’s hubby’s & my anniversary today :O) … My card for today uses the amazing Wishes All Around bundle and I’ve chosen to use the snowflake wreath and a similar layout to yesterday’s card, but simpler.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around Bundle, Snowflakes

The Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP seemed a perfect backdrop, and I adhered a strip to a Thick Basic White card base. I cut a piece of the Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper (in silver of course) and ran it through the die cutting machine with the snowflakes die from Wishes All Around Dies. This paper is so neat! Just remove the backing and adhere :O) And I did… to a piece of Basic White. At this point I should have stamped the sentiment in the middle. But no, I didn’t do that :O( I die cut more snowflakes and this time from a piece of the same pattern of Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP. I adhered these on top of the other snowflakes, every other one, on black mini dimensionals. That way they don’t show so much. On top of those snowflakes I added these gorgeous Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels. This square was added to another slightly larger square with dimensionals, then adhered in place with liquid glue to the card base. I used the second smallest die in the Deckled Circles Dies to die cut a circle from Basic White, stamped it in Misty Moonlight ink with the Wishes All Around sentiment. I adhered it in the center of the snowflake wreath ~ and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around, Snowflake card inside

For the inside, on another piece of Basic White I adhered more snowflakes die cut with the Wishes All Around Dies: two from the Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer paper and another from Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP. I added a small Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewel to this last snowflake. I opted NOT TO add a sentiment at this point as this could be a very general card. If i need to add a sentiment before sending, I can.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around, Snowflake wreath card & envelope

For the Basic White envelope, I stamped this fun three-snowflake stamp in Misty Moonlight ink, also from then Wishes All Around stamp set. I stamped it several times on the envelope front and a couple of times on the flap, re-inking the stamp each time.

I’ll add a link here so you can view yesterday’s card using the same Wishes All Around Bundle and a similar layout. It’s just fun to compare.

Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Dies with Watercoloring

Good Tuesday! It’s Oct 31 – trick or treaters went around last night in our area and we had quite a few of them. Thank goodness not much of our candy is left! :O) Today is the last day of the JOINING PROMOTION. This is such a special deal that if you’re on the fence, take a leap of faith & jump right in. My team & I are here to help you. Read more info below.

I’ve a watercolor card for you today and it was fun to create. I was inspired by several folks who have posted watercolor cards, and while I’m not as good at it as I’d like to be, I’m still pleased with the card.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Dies w/ watercoloring

Let’s begin by creating the watercolor background: Misty Moonlight ink, Night of Navy ink and finally Orchid Oasis ink. What I like about this is the depth that is created – it really looks like space to me. I wet my paper thoroughly then began with the widest of the Water Painters and added Misty Moonlight ink. Keeping the paper wet, I added Night of Navy ink, but tried to leave the center area mostly just the Misty Moonlight. Then I added the Orchid Oasis ink the same way, keeping the paper wet. I dropped a few drops of clear water on the paper to give more depth, then set aside this piece to dry. Keep in mind, no two pieces are ever the same and that’s the beauty of watercolors.

While this was drying, I pulled out the Holographic Foil Paper and with the silver sheet, used the hybrid folder and die cut this beautiful embossed star (that’s in the center of the card) with the Stars At Night Dies. I also die cut a couple more stars from this same sheet using the Stars At Night Dies. On a scrap of Orchid Oasis paper, I stamped the sentiment from the Night Divine stamp set in VersaMark ink then sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it. Once it was cool, I fussy cut the sentiment and set it aside.

Now that the watercolor paper was dry I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to create this fun edge. I ran it through again with the starburst die in the upper center of the card. See all those little openings surrounding the Holographic star? That’s what it does, plus… cut out a starburst which I saved to use on the inside of the card :O). Ok, what’s next… oh yes, cut a piece of 2023-2025 In Color Shimmer Paper in Boho Blue and adhere the deckled watercolor paper over it. I flicked the watercolor piece with Wink of Stella to give it some sparkle. I used liquid glue to adhere the star and little dots of glue for the additional small stars. I put the fussy cut sentiment on dimensionals and attached it over the center of the large star. This panel got dimensionals and was added to an Orchid Oasis card base.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night w/ Watercolor Paper, inside

On a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the sentiment from Night Divine stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink. I added the leftover starburst center then another star die cut from the Holograph Paper in the center of the starburst. This panel was added to the inside of the card and finis.

On the Very Vanilla envelope, I stamped the sentiment from Night Divine stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink. We made this in my card class two weeks ago and the ladies loved it.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Walk with Artistic Dies

Good Monday morning. Golly – where did the weekend go? It was glorious here on the Jersey Shore – even though we made a quick trip to PA. And it was glorious there too. My card today is a fairly new one called Garden Walk 6×6 DSP. It has an interesting mix of colors and I’ve paired it with Basic White on this card.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk DSP & Artistic Dies.

This is a very feminine birthday card and I like it a lot. The Artistic Dies are the leaves die cut from Basic White. I’ve also incorporated the Scalloped Contour Dies. The layers are like this: Card base is Thick Basic White; on this is a narrow layer of Garden Walk DSP adhered directly to the card base; the Scalloped Contour Basic White panel with Pretty Peacock and Garden Walk DSP all attached to one another then added to the card front with dimensionals. The Artistic Dies leaves was attached near the bottom with a couple of dabs of liquid glue, a narrow strip of Pretty Peacock added over this, then the sentiment banner on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped using the Artistically Inked stamp set, which coordinates with the Artistic Dies, with Poppy Parade ink. Two final touches… a sweet bow using the pink in the Ribbon Combo Pack and three Iridescent Pastel Gems.

Stampin' Up! Birthday card with Garden Walk 6x6 DSP

On the inside… I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp the flowers from the Artistically Inked stamp set. They look just like the flowers on this Designer Series Paper :O) I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink from the Artistically Inked stamp set then the sentiment – also from this stamp set. The stems were my own addition, using the Garden Green Marker to draw them in. The Basic White panel was simply asdded to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk & Artistic Die card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Garden Walk 6×6 DSP on the flap and the larger flower from Artistically Inked stamp set stamped in Poppy Parade ink on the front. And finis! My hubby particularly likes this card :O)

Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute and Tiny Trees Dies

Hello Saturday! We are having a bit of summer here in NJ once again… 80 degrees today! However, fall is definitely upon us ~ the trees surrounding us have turned those gorgeous shades of yellow, orange, deep reds. It is just stunning. With all this talk of fall, you would think my card would be about that, but it isn’t :O) It’s Christmas with the Beary Christmas 12 x 12 DSP and the Tiny Trees Dies.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute and Tiny Trees Dies

I began this card by die cutting the Garden Green front piece with the Tiny Trees Dies. I added Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the die cut and attached a slightly larger panel of Granny Apple Green foil sheet. (This comes from the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets pack.) These were added to a Garden Green card base. I die cut two Basic White circles with the Deckled Circles Dies. The smaller one I stamped with the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink from Beary Cute stamp set, then stamped again with the ‘snowflake’ stamp in the same Beary Cute stamp set. I fussy cut this bear carrying packages from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP and attached him to the larger circle with dimensionals. I slipped this Sparkle Ribbon under his feet to make it look as though he was walking on ice. I added three Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the circle for more bling. These two circles were attached to the card front as you see them.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute stamp set

For the inside… I stamped this simple outline image of a tree in Garden Green ink, using a stamp from the Beary Cute stamp set. I stamped the hat in Real Red ink from the same stamp set – and called it complete.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute & Tiny Trees card & envelope

For the envelope… I fussy cut two more bears from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP and added them to the envelope front. I took another piece of the DSP for the flap.

What a bright, cheery card, right? What’s helpful about this card, is it could be sent to someone of a different faith – as it doesn’t say Merry Christmas on it. It’s good to have a few of these in your stash.

Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle

Good Friday morning! Todays card uses this gorgeous Stars At Night Bundle, Misty Moonlight card stock and Basic White with sponge daubers.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night

I ran the Misty Moonlight panel through the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder then using my sponge dauber & Basic White ink pad to add spots of color, adding additional highlighting for specific stars. It makes them almost glow. Once satisfied with the amount of white, I stamped the Basic White piece and from the same Stars At Night stamp set, first using Smoky Slate ink to stamp the small starburst spray, then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder, heat set and once cool die cut it with the banner die from Stars At night Dies. I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon to card the front then added the banner die cut with dimensionals. For a bit more bling, small Festive Pearls in Silver were added to the centers of three stars. This panel was adhered to a Basic White piece slightly larger. This got dimenionals and was attached to the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night, inside

For the inside – again, the small starburst spray and the sentiment came from the Stars At Night stamp set and were stamped on the Basic White panel with Misty Moonlight ink.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night card & envelope

For the envelope… a beautiful stamp of stars (single stamp) was stamped both on the front and on the flap in Misty Moonlight ink.

The Stars At Night Bundle includes three parts: the stamp set, coordinating dies and the hybrid embossing folder. It is an amazing bundle with so many possibilities. While these pictures turned out very dark – much to my disappointment – the card really is quite beautiful.
