Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Welcome to our blog hop! We have a fun sketch challenge today ands I’ve chosen to work with the new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called Brushed with Beauty. As a demonstrator I was able to purchase this early in a pre-order and I l-o-v-e it! The colors are really ‘up my alley’ so to speak. Yesterday I shared several links to cards I made with this suite of products. You can see that post here

And … today is hubby & my anniversary… of several/ many years. I am so blessed and thankful. So, today’s card is in celebration of that. ❤️

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card front

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered this striped pattern (it’s the ‘b’side to the floral paper showing) directly to the base. I then cut a smaller piece of the same DSP (the ‘a’side) and adhered it to Very Vanilla just slightly larger. This was added to the front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the larger floral outline stamp in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Very Vanilla and colored it with Stampin’ Blends Bronze & Ivory. I die cut this and the detail die (this one is from the Vellum in the suite of products) and attached the two together with a glue dot in the center of the flower. I attached a Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center in Calypso Coral and added it to the card front with liquid adhesive. I die cut two elements from the Words of Beauty Dies: the background layer in very Vanilla and the detail of the word in Petal Pink that had an adhesive sheet attached to it. After die cutting I put them together & added them to the card front with mini dimensionals. I added two more of the Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty products, inside card

For the inside… I was playing around with color for the flower… stamped the outline stamp on a Very Vanilla scrap in Calypso Coral but colored this one with Stampin’ Blends 1000 & 500. The 1000 is the pinkish color and the 500 is the soft shade of brown. After die cutting the flower & adhering it to a Very Vanilla insert, I added a single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the Crumb Cake kind of color. The top sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Words of Beauty stamp set. The lower sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink ink using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set.

Stampin' Up! 11/06 hop Brushed with Beauty card & envelope

Keeping this envelope really simple… another panel of the Brushed with Beauty DSP showcasing a Petal Pink coloring, was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. You can purchase these products from my online store – see the link below!

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine from OnStage@ Home

Good morning! It’s the ‘day after’ the OnStage@Home event… (now two days after – – – computer issues put a stymie on everything!) and there were several demonstrators from around the world providing tips, tricks and sharing some ideas on new products that will be offered in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. As demonstrators and those of us who attended the @Home event, we were able to order the Bee Mine Suite of products and make a card with card cuts provided by Stampin’ Up! I did that and today’s card is one we made. This is a fairly simple card, one that could work with new stampers.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine OnStage@Home card, front

This card uses Daffodil Delight as the card base, and a stamped layer added with dimensionals. The stamped layer uses the honeycomb stamp in the Bee My Valentine stamp set and Daffodil Delight ink. Also, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink from Bee My Valentine stamp set. Adhere the two panels of Bee Mine 12×12 DSP at an angle using Stampin’ Seal. Stamp the portions of the bee in Memento ink on Basic White scraps and punch out with the coordinating Bee Builder Punch. Adhere parts together with small dots of liquid glue and add to card front with dimensionals. I added the fun Pool Party heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers pack that is also part of the suite.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine OnStage@Home card, inside

I added a strip of the plaid Bee Mine 12×12 DSP with Stampin’ Seal, then fussy cut this adorable bee holding a heart from the other side of this Bee Mine 12×12 DSP and adhered it in place with liquid glue – all on a Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine OnStage@Home card & envelope

And here’s the card & envelope. Remember, no naked envelopes! More of the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP on the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front… these cute hearts from Bee My Valentine stamp set, stamped in Pool Party ink all along the bottom. Very cute! Love this bee & it’s coordinating punch. There are at least three options for bee faces in this set.

Ok – so I ‘hear’ the question… how do I get my hands on this set of products?

Stampin’ Up! Split M Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to another Thursday… and the amazing Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge for this hop.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/24
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge 8/24
Stampin' Up! Split M-Fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP

I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.

Stampin' Up! Split m fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP

Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.

Stampin' Up! Split M fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP from the top

Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.

  • Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
    • Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
    • Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
    • Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
    • Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
    • Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
    • Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
  • On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
  • Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
  • Decorate the card front:
    • The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.

Stampin' Up! M-fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP card & envelope

Fun card to make! I hope you give it a try and share your photos with me.

Now, on with the hop! See what creative folks we have on our team. you won’t want to miss a single one!

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

We have a theme challenge for today’s hop – love. I don’t tend to be a big Valentine sender/ giver, but I really like this Country Bouquet Bundle. I’ve taken a bit of a modern approach without DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle. Th.hoop 1/26

Silver heat embossing, a bit of scoring and some gorgeous Simply Elegant Trim in silver highlight this card. And of course, the heart uses the Country Bouquet Punch from the Country Bouquet Bundle. The words and hearts are from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

The ‘how to’:

  • Begin with a card base of Thick Basic White scored in half. This can work as 8 1/2 x 5 1/2scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Using the Scoring Tool and the back side of a Basic White panel, create five score lines. Why the back side? Scoring creates an indentation and I wanted the scoring to be raised. After scoring, turn card stock over & bingo!
  • On a piece of Basic White, rub the piece with the embossing buddy to remove finger prints or anything that would cause the embossing powder to attach itself; stamp the hearts from Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink; sprinkle with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Once cool, punch with the Country Bouquet Punch and set both hearts aside.
  • Determine where on the card front panel the large heart will be placed, rub entire right side of card with the embossing buddy. Stamp the two open hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink, then the words ‘for you’. Sprinkle both with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Add large heart with dimensionals.
  • Add silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhering with a scrunched glue dot.
  • Add three Pearl Basic Jewels for additional elegance.
  • Add this panel to a Silver Foil Specialty Paper panel slightly larger, then add to card front. Done!
Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.inside

For the inside, I added a length of Silver Foil Specialty paper to the left side with liquid glue, cleaned the area to be stamped with the embossing buddy, inked the sentiment with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat set. The smaller heart that was stamped & punched at the same time as the larger heart was added with liquid glue. This panel was added to the inside of the card and all done.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.3

For the envelope, I again used the embossing buddy to clean an area for the enclosed hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set; stamped them with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with the silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. For the envelope flap, I wanted a soft pink so added a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP (FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!)

I hope you liked my card. Now you have seen my gem, I hope you will travel along the hop to visit everyone else participating today. Click the ‘next’ button or a name to visit. ENJOY!

Stampin’ Up! Anniversary with Beauty of the Earth

Hi Folks! Happy POST Thanksgiving… We are still celebrating in our home – family arrived yesterday and we had our feast today. Needless to say, I have been preoccupied with our being able to be together, and cooking. :O) I enjoy cooking, but mostly I appreciate that we can be together. There’s nothing better!

Here’s a card for you that was super fun to do. A friend of mine wanted a card in blues for an anniversary and I came up with this.

Anniversary with Beauty of the Earth

This card also had a belly band and for some reason a missed taking a picture of it. 😦 And you can see I used the Eden Dies for special trim on the edges. This IS a fun fold and opens like this…

Anniversary with Beauty of the Earth, inside

You can see I also used the Heart Punch Pack (Night of Navy & Basic White) over the Gold Fine Art Ribbon & Beauty of the Earth DSP. Gilded Gems were added to the heart to bring it all together. On the large Basic White panel I stamped leaves in second generation Misty Moonlight ink. The sentiment on this panel & the heart come from an ALL NEW stamp set that will be in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog called Love and Happiness. I love the sentiments AND the fonts! This stamp set will be available Jan 3 for customers. Of course… if you JOIN MY TEAM NOW you can order this set right away :O) How’s THAT for incentive? AND… joining as a demonstrator through the end of November is just $75 and the bonus is $125 worth of product. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Not have a demonstrator so you can order? If you do not have a demonstrator and need an Annual 2021 Catalog OR Jul-Dec 2021 Catalog, please reach out to me – happy to send one to you. Please also use my current host code when ordering: 62EHPGHC I offer my customers a free item from Stampin’ Up! valued to $10 with your order of $50 and above. Click here to go my store. When the order is over $150, you still receive that free gift from me, but SU! has Stampin’ Rewards that may be used for additional products, so don’t use the host code at that time. If you have questions just let me know. If you would like to be able to order products early from catalogs AND enjoy that 20% discount, join my team now… you may do that here. We have lots of fun and are a creative bunch that encourages & supports one another. Would love to have you! And… as a reminder – during the month of November only, joining is $75 and the products with joining are $125 worth of product ~ your choice too! Just sayin’, I haven’t seen this kind of deal since joining as as demo several years ago. This is the time!

Here’s what I’m encouraging and sharing with you: join to become a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator. You may do that with me – here. Joining during the month of November is $75 to create your own ‘starter kit’ ~ but you receive $125 worth of products that you get to choose. When you join, that’s free shipping for that one time, and I must say, I haven’t seen a $75 joining deal like this in my time with Stampin’ Up! This is a sweet package. Start with Savings is what they’re calling the joining promotion.

Stampin’ Up! Tailor Made Tags Dies Anniversary

Monday, Monday… remember that song? It’s hard to believe it’s Monday already… where does the time go? I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Do you ever search through Pinterest, find an idea you like and file it in your brain – then try to find it again, and can’t? Well, today’s card is just that – a CASE of someone, I just can’t give credit cuz I don’t know who it is. At any rate, I’ve kept the colors really simple – Misty Moonlight and Basic White.

Tailor Made Tag Dies Anniversary.1

I began with a Thick Basic White card base and added a panel of Basic White regular card stock that had been run through the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder – adhered with dimensionals. I took a strip of Misty Moonlight card stock and wrapped 1 1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon over it adhering in back with Seal+. I then stamped the sentiment from Inspired Thoughts stamp set on a Basic White piece with Misty Moonlight ink and die cut it using the Tailor Made Tag Dies. I tied Misty Moonlight & Silver twine (from Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the mesh ribbon and through the hole in the tag and made a bow I secured the bow with a glue dot. I adhered all this to the card front with dimensionals, added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the card front was done.

For the inside I stamped the sentiment from Elegantly Said stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on another panel of Basic White card stock. I then stamped the flower in stamped off Misty moonlight ink, adhered the panel with liquid glue to the inside and the card was complete.

For the envelope I ran another piece of Basic White card stock through the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the flap, trimmed to fit. Finis!. I love the simplicity of this card – it’s elegant.

Products for todays project are from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. They may be found in the list below. I’ve made it easy for you to simply ‘add all to cart’. If I can help you in any way to order these items, or others, please give me a holler. As a thank you to my customers, when the order is between $50-$150 I offer a SU! item of your choice valued at $10. Remember to use MY NEW HOST CODE – 4A6RJ2TA . When the order is over $150, you still receive that free gift from me, but SU! has Stampin’ Rewards that may be used for additional products, so don’t use the host code at that time. If you have questions just let me know. If you would like to be able to order products early from catalogs AND enjoy that 20% discount, join my team now… you may do that here. We have lots of fun and are a creative bunch that encourages & supports one another.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Inspire. Create. Share.

I’ll be back later today with more information about what’s going on in the Stampin’ Up! world – promotions et all!
