Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions for the Happy Thursday Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for a Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!! We have a sketch challenge today and it’s always interesting how others interpret a challenge,.I have used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle aND Inspirational Sketches stamp set for my card today. I used other items as well, but these are from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Grateful Card. Thu Hop 2/1

My card base is Thick Basic White 4 1?4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, a very basic card base. The next layer is Crushed Curry that has been run through the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I layered another panel of Basic White on top of that 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 then Basic Gray run through the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder 3 14 x 4 1/2. The very front layer is this stunningly gorgeous die cut from Thoughtful Expressions Dies in Basic White, stamped with this beautiful stamp of daisies from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Basic Gray ink and added to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment is also from Inspirational Sketches stamp set and is stamped with VersaMark ink then sprinkled with Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the heat tool – all on a scrap of Crushed Curry card stock. It was adhered with liquid glue and a dimensional on the far left end. For a final touch I added several Iris=descent Pearly /Basic Jewels for glam. This was another ‘first play’ with Inspirational Sketches stamp set– love this set!

For the inside… A panel of Crushed Curry 4 18 x 5 3/8 then a Basic White panel stamped: Basic Gray ink with flowers from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in opposite corners and a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.

For the envelope… I stamped this floral image in Basic Gray ink from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set on the envelope front – and left it at that. I often emboss the envelope flap, but chose not to this time. I like the simplicity for this card.

Stampin’ Up! Lighter Than Air Suite Shaker Card

Hello folks! Here it is Wednesday already – where has the week gone? I apologize for being MIA… I’ve had trouble with a couple things and it’s been frustrating. Hopefully we’re back on track again. My card today is a shaker card made with the amazing Hot Air Balloon stamp set & coordinating dies and other products in this suite – but the stamp & dies are KEY! First of all, I love the Lighter Than Air 6×6 DSP – soft but colorful papers. Pool Party is soft, as is Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath – all colors in this particular DSP and ink I used on today’s card. Balmy Blue comes across a bit stronger but is still soft.

Stampin' Up! Lighter Than Air Suite, shaker card

Don’t you love the stripes? Here’s what I’m not seeing though…, the stamped sentiment! Aargh! It just isn’t showing in the photo. Aargh again, because I pick up the card and it isn’t that visible there either. HOW DID I MISS THAT? Aaargh. Well, here we are. I’ll just have to die cut another piece and re-stamp it and adhere it over this one, maybe in Balmy Blue. Or maybe I need to re-ink my ink pad? I’m posting the card anyway, and may have to show it again later. The idea is super fun. I haven’t made a shaker card is forever, so there was a learning curve going on… re-teaching myself. :O)

The card base is Pool Party 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 4 1/4. I added the Basic White layer – 4 x 5 1/4 that is just a frame. Note that the color that shows through the hot air balloon die cut is the Pool Party card base. Next I die cut the hot air balloon top with the Hot Air Balloon Dies, turned it to the back side of the Lighter Than Air 6×6 DSP and added a piece of Window Sheet and adhered it in place over the opening. I then added a Foam Adhesive Strip around the die cut. I added more dimensionals on the back side of the DSP and set this aside. I used the die cut piece from the balloon die to note where the DSP panel would be added – and stamped a design for the balloon in Pool Party ink. Yep, I guess I really DO need to re-ink the ink pad! To the card base, I used a small condiment spoon to add some Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to where the balloon die cut front panel will be attached to the card base, then turned the DSP over so it was face up and attached it to the Basic White panel/ card base. YAY! All was in place! And I set about decorating the front.

I die cut the basket for the balloon and the “strings'” that hold the basket to the balloon from Fresh Freesia card stock – both using the Hot Air Balloon Dies. They are so cool, you guys! But then, I proceeded to cover up the ‘strings’ with the sentiment banner. The sentiment banner is in two parts – at least on this card it is… The underlay I’m going to call it, and the overlay. :O) The overlay is the stamped sentiment in Pool Party ink that is too light to see in the photo. It says: Up, Up, And Away! HOORAY! IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY – and it’s been attached with dimensionals. I attached the basket with dabs of glue. I added two Balmy Blue Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots (part of the suite of products) on either side of the banner, then added a bow with a glue dot. The Balmy Blue bow is from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack – which is also a part of the Suite.

Stampin' Up! Lighter Than Air Suite Shaker Card, inside

For the inside… I stamped the balloon in Fresh Freesia ink, then the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink, and the basket in Bubble Bath ink. I left plenty of room for writing as I know where this card is headed. Have you ever been on a hot air balloon ride? I have – and it was fascinating. I could not believe how QUIET it was. We couldn’t hear traffic or even birds singing. Not hearing birds singing was a bit disconcerting to me. I hadn’t suspected it to be that silent.

Stampin' Up! Lighter Than Air Suite Shaker Card & envelope

The envelope… the flap has Lighter Than Air 6×6 DSP adhered and trimmed to fit. The envelope front has a partial sentiment from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set, stamped in Balmy Blue ink. I like this card but am disappointed I didn’t notice how light the stamping. Maybe it was the excitement of a ‘first time play” – who knows. I will play again, and re-ink a couple of ink pads before I play :O)

Now – how to get this suite of products… The Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog has this listed on pages 32-24. If you do not have a demonstrator, reach out to me and I’ll send a catalog right away, plus a Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration catalog as well.

Stampin’ Up! Doggone Friends Note

I had such fun working on this card. For one thing, I’m a dog lover and this stamp, Doggone Friends, just makes me smile. It’s single large stamp in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I used the Notes of Nature stamp set (also from that catalog) to create the sentiment and taped off a portion to use just the part I needed.

Stampin' Up! Doggone Friends card front

Here’s the scoop:

  • * Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2
  • * Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 run through the Basics 3D embossing Folder (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), Cross Hatch – adhere to card base front
  • * Stamp Doggone Friends image on Basic White with Memento ink; trim to 2 3/4 x 4 1/4
  • * Add stamped image to Crumb Cake card stock – 2 7/8 x 4 3/8; then to Basic Black card stock 3 x 4 1/2
  • * Wrap with Black Twine from Basic Twine Essentials Pack, twice around and tie bow. Secure bow with glue dot.
  • * Add these to card front with dimensionals.
  • * Using 2″ Circle Punch (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), punch a Vellum circle; add over twine with mini dimensionals
  • * Stamp sentiment from Notes of Nature stamp set in Memento ink, taping off the rest of the sentiment. Adhere to Vellum with Stasmpin’ Seal
  • * Add Classic Matte Dots for embellishment
Stampin' Up! Doggone Friends card, inside

For the inside…Trim remaining piece from original stamping to fit Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4). Mine is about 1 1/4 as I wanted full dog faces to show!

Stampin' Up! Doggone Friends card & envelope

For the envelope… A bit of Zany Zoo DSP for the envelope as I wanted to stick with the black & white idea :O) For the front, I cut another section of the remaining stamped piece of Doggone Friends for the card front and adhered it in place with Stampin’ Seal. And that was it! I LOVE THIS CARD!!!! It’s friendly, can be used for a man or woman and for all kinds of occasions. The other part is, change the colors, use just about any DSP in lieu of the stamped panel, use ribbon instead of twine. It’s a fabulous layout.

To get your hands on this stamp and the sentiment stamp set, click here to order from me and the Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog. The Basics 3D embossing folders (set of 3) and the 2″ Circle Punch are from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and can be added to your order here.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

Good Saturday morning. We had another night of torrential rain & winds last night – gads! I just feel lucky we didn’t lose power, trees didn’t come down – you know, like that.

Stippled Roses & Blender Pen

We had card class Thursday and this is one of the cards we made. Today’s card is pretty easy using just one bundle, Stippled Roses and it’s coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. I stamped the rose in Moody Mauve on a Basic White panel, then moved the ink around on the roses with my Blender Pen. A clue or two about that process: try not to overwork an area. In other words, no need to keep going over it. And I just worked in the darker inked areas and moved it around. No need to overthink. For the leaves I used my small Blending Brush and with Granny Apple Green ink, tapped off some of the ink and gently colored the leaves. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just add color. If you think it needs more color pull out those Stampin Blends in Granny Apple Green and add some definition. I definitely used those around the rose buds. I die cut the rose with the large Stippled Roses Dies. I used the leaf die from the same set of dies and die cut three leaves. I added them to the back of the die cut rose with Seal+ and added dimensionals as well. I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Granny Apple Green card stock with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (a FREE item with a qualifying order from the Sale-a-Bration catalog). Look at that wonderful detail – love it! I adhered the embossed panel to a slightly larger Basic White and then directly to the Moody Mauve card base. I added the die cut roses that on dimensionals and the card was just about done. I stamped the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink on a scrap of Basic White and trimmed it down, added dimensionals and one & done. I flicked my Wink of Stella all over then added three wonderful pearls.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses & Blender Pen

For the inside I stamped the single rose in Moody Mauve ink on a Basic White panel and added that to the inside of the card. You CAN do the same process of moving the ink around with the Blender pen – I did not.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses & Blender Pen

For the envelope… the same single rose stamped in Moody Mauve ink on the front of the card. I also ran a piece of Moody Mauve card stock through the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and added it to the flap. A beautiful and quick birthday card.

If you’ve been following along, you know the Stippled Roses Bundle is from the new Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in a cattie, please reach out to me. I would be happy to get you ‘hooked up’ so to speak :O)There are some lovely products in this catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP with Frame

It’s Christmas Eve morning and excitement is in the air! Before I get too far into my post and the card of the day, let me say thank you to those who follow my blog, post comments, purchase from me, are on my team – all that. Stampin’ Up! has afforded me the opportunity to share my creativity in a whole new way and I so appreciate all of you for sharing in my journey. So, thank you.

Family arrives later today for several days and I will be taking a bit of a break while they are here. I want my focus to be on them and not running to my computer to check for messages concerning this paper crafting business. Yes, each of you is important but family is a priority while they are here – thank you for understanding.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows Bundle

I had this Meandering Meadows DSP on my desk still and couldn’t help but continue playing with it. This time I added this wonderful ‘frame’ that is part of the Garden Meadows Dies. It is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock and added to the DSP with dimensionals. The DSP is adhered to Melon Mambo card stock just slightly larger and that is attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base with dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies buzzing around the flowers for a bit of ‘meadow feeling’.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then the flowers at the bottom in Garden Green ink. This is a precious stamp! The Very Vanilla panel is added to another Melon Mambo piece just slightly larger then into the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows card & envelope

On the envelope I adhered the remaining piece of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 piece, just turned it to the other side. Then stamped that same sweet flower bunch in Garden Green ink on the front.

This set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of the Stampin’ Up! store – which you may find right here: Garden Meadows stamp set & dies, Meandering Meadows DSP AND the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds elements. The card stock, envelopes and inks are all part of the Annual catalog which may be found here.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP Simple Card

Good morning! Today’s card is super simple – intentionally. I’m interested in making several of these to use as a quick notice of thinking of you, or concern, or birthday, or just a note, whether it be of appreciation or thanks or hello friend. I love the color contrasts in this DSP and for the simple layers. Behold… Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, hello

Blueberry Bushel is one of the coordinating colors for this DSP and I used it for my card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I trimmed the Meandering Meadows DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and adhered it to Petal Pink just slightly larger. These two panels were added to the card base with dimensionals. As a final touch, three birds were added from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds. They show beautifully because they are brass!

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP hello, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto a Basic White panel, and it comes from the Garden Meadow stamp set, then added a strip of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the bottom (a continuation of the pattern from the card front). This was added to another panel of Petal Pink just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP card & envelope

The envelope flap got more of the same panel of Meandering Meadow DSP, just the other side of that 6×6 piece to create the card front! On the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink as it simulates the flowers in the scene on the card front. :O) Stampin’ Up! is really clever in the way they pair the DSP with stamp bundles – and actually, these are all a part of a suite of products in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. You may find that link here.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection stamp set

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection, inside

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Part 2 for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Good Tuesday! We have an easy challenge for the hop today… “Celebrate” – and we can interpret that however we like. We have a couple of family birthdays this month so that’s what I’m using. And, while I used this same stamp set Sunday, I’m using a different animal today :O)

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew
Stampin' Up 4 Panel fun fold Fluffiest Friends

Look at that sweet bunny holding a cup cake – is that cute or what?! Using the Fluffiest Friends stamp set, I stamped it in Memento Black ink and colored a bit of the ears, nose and feet pads in Stampin’ Blends Dark Petal Pink. I die cut him with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. Since I had the dies out, I went ahead and die cut several leaves: in both Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut the banner in Basic White. I added a layer of leaves to the banner with liquid glue, then the bunny on dimensionals and a few more leaves on dimensionals. The single heart is from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends, bunny

This is a 4 panel fun fold card and I used Petal Pink card stock for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. I added panels of DSP: Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP, also from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The pieces are (2) 1 x 5 1/2 and (2) 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The banner with the bunny was added with Stampin’ Seal to the folded back front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends 4 panel fun fold

For the inside sentiment panel – Basic White piece – 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 – I pulled out another stamp set, Beautiful Balloons from the Annual Catalog. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Sweet Sorbet ink then the rounded sentiment in Petal Pink ink. The flowers at the bottom come from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and are stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Dark Petal Pink, Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Lemon Lolly and Light Granny Apple Green. On top of a few of the flowers I added a flower from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I adhered a few more of the die cut leaves in Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party, attached the panel to the inside and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends card & envelope, bunny

For the envelope, I added more of the Sweet Sorbet DSP from Bee Mine 12×12 DSP pack to the flap. I stamped the balloon in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. I used a Basic Black Marker to add a bow and some squiggly string. I think the person receiving this card is going to love it! It’s feminine, full of color and has a super cute bunny :O)

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday

Good Sunday! My apologies… I thought I had scheduled this to publish and didn’t!!! I have a fun, bright & cheery birthday card for you today, using the Fluffiest Friends bundle.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday

This is a very colorful card… because the person to whom it is being sent likes color :O) I started with the Granny Apple Green card base. With scraps of Granny Apple Green I die cut the grassy layers (5 of them) using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. I stamped the animal image (is this a raccoon? I can’t tell!) holding a ballon, colored it with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake (body) and Petal Pink (hands & feet) and a dot of black on the nose. I die cut this image, also from the Fluffiest Friends Dies and adhered it to a Basic White panel (3 x 4) I die cut two balloons, one from Pumpkin Pie and one from Berry Burst. I adhered the orange balloon with dimensionals and the other directly to the panel. With my Basic Black marker I drew a couple of squiggly lines. I stamped the word HAPPY in Berry Burst ink using the Biggest Wish stamp set. The grasses were added to the Basic White panel in two layers… the first adhered with liquid glue, the second with strips of cut dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio Pack in Berry Burst. This entire panel was added to a larger piece of Glorious Gingham 6×6 DSP in Berry Burst and that was added to a Basic White, then attached with liquid glue to the card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday, inside

For the inside… a strip of the Glorious Gingham 6×6 DSP in Berry Burst was adhered near the bottom of the Basic White panel and the sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink from Biggest Wish stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday card & envelope

This is such a fun, bright, cheerful card – and could be used for a child or adult, male or female. Love that flexibility! This bundle can be found in the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES which may be found here.

Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas and Merriest Trees Dies Gift Card Holder

Good Monday morning! Gosh – here we are really INTO December. Have you decorated the house yet? We are in the midst and it is so very messy with all the boxes of decorations. The tree is the last thing to do… as we purchase a live cut tree. So we wait so it doesn’t become too dry and a hazard. :O)

Today’s post is all about gift card holders – and I have one to share that’s different. I like it!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

Love this little gift card holder and I’m in the process of making a few. This SDSP is shiny and of course, two-sided. The panel is 4 x 12 scored at 3, 6, & 9 1/8. Burnish gently. On last panel mark 1/2″ from the last score line at the top of the segment; make another 1/2″ mark up from the bottom of the end panel and cut diagonally.

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas & Merries Trees Dies, cutting lines

Add Tear n Tape where the white strips are. Cut a panel of Basic White 2 7/8 x 3 7/8, stamp with sentiment (here I used the Brightest Glow stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink) and adhere to second panel of SDSP (between 2nd & 3rd score lines). Remove Tear n Tape & close.

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas & Merriest Trees Dies gift card.3

Cut about 20″ length of ribbon (here I used Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green combo pack); add Stampin’ Seal to ribbon about 6 1/2 from one end and for about 6″.; add to front panel and to second panel, centering from top to bottom. Now decorate!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

I used the various sections of the Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the layers for the tree in Basic White. I attached each layer with dimensionals and added it over the ribbon – with dimensionals. I used the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the trim and the star atop the tree and added these ever to easily to the complete the tree. I die cut a banner to add a name with the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Basic White and two circles over the hole in Cherry Cobbler. I colored a length of white twine with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and tied it in a bow. This tag was attached with dimensionals. I die cut another tag jst as an illustration of where the gift card or check could be placed in the enclosure. And done!

This could so easily be used as a birthday gift card holder or graduation, or anniversary – just change up the Designer Series Paper and decorating the front panel – and there ya go.
