Hello and WELCOME to this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. You may have come from the fabulous Tara Carpenter or simply hopped in right here. However you arrived, may you enjoy making the rounds of those participating today.

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

So, I have to laugh at myself & share it with you… I made a card for this blog hop, but when I went to do all the necessary ‘work’ of plugging in the challenge, I realized I made the card for NEXT WEEKS blog hop 😀 How funny is that! So I pulled out a card I hadn’t posted yet and here we go. It’s one we are working on in card class today.

Stampin' Up! P;laying In The Rain hop 2/9

This card is made with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and the Picture This Dies + Rain or Shine DSP. It was super fun to make as the Playing In The Rain stamp set is full of cuteness.

Die cut the Rain or Shine DSP with the Picture This Dies. DSP is 4 x 5 1/4
Place this over a Basic White panel 1/8″ smaller & trace lightly the various circles. in pencil
Decide where & what images you want to use from the Playing In The Rain stamp set then stamp with Memento ink in the various circles. It’s ok to go outside the circle but use a post it note to cover a circle if you think it would stamp in it. see photo

Color images as desired. I used Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody, Cajun Craze & Old Olive for the flowers/ leaves; I used Flirty Flamingo for the rabbit and Old Olive, Mango Melody and Cajun Craze on the turtle image. I also die cut a bow tie in Basic Black using one of the balloon bow dies. 👍😀
Stamp the sentiment from Playing In The Rain in Smoky Slate ink
Erase any remaining pencil marks.
Now lay the die cut Rain or Shine DSP over this panel & adhere in place.
Put dimensionals on the back and adhere to a Smoky Slate A2 card base.
Add the loose Daisy Assortment to the sentiment – and the card front is done!

For the inside…

Stamp the fox, puddles and sentiment in Memento ink
Stamp the raindrops in Smoky Slate ink
Color the fox, umbrella and puddles with Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze for the umbrella, Mango Melody for the rain hat & coat, Smoky Slate for the fox and puddles
Add to inside of card & voila!

For the envelope… More Rain or Shine DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; and a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend colored umbrella on the front. The umbrella is stamped in Memento ink & comes from Playing in The Rain Stamp set.

Items used in today’s project…

Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.

Happy July 4th! Got big plans? Whatever they are, may you have fun and be safe… Today’s card is made with Stampin’ Blends & Alcohol for the basic background, the Seascape stamp set and Picture this Dies.

The background was made on Vellum by adding color sporadically then spritzing with 91% alcohol. When using this alcohol, make certain the area is well vented. It is very strong! I wish I had taken a picture of just the Vellum & inks, before stamping on it. The piece was very special. So, why did I cover it…. who knows… but I do like the end result. Colors used to create the background were Dark Night of Navy & Dark Cajun Craze, both Stampin’ Blends, and as mentioned earlier, spritzed with 91% alcohol. Once dry, I mounted it with liquid glue onto a Basic White card piece.

I die cut a piece of Basic White using the Picture this Dies and used that to show where I needed to stamp. As mentioned earlier I used the Seascape stamp set to create the images: Garden Green ink for the tall lanky seaweed; Calypso Coral for the coral, and Crumb Cake for the fish (they are hard to see and are in the bottom middle window!). I laid this aside to dry – the seaweed took some time as it is a semi solid stamp and the ink pad a bit inky. Once dry I put dimention on the back of the Basic White ‘frame’ and mounted it over the Vellum. This whole panel was then adhered to Misty Moonlight card stock with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment using the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set on a Basic White strip, fussy cut the ends then added it to another Misty Moonlight strip and did the same treatment for the ends. This got dimensionals and was added to the card front. Three Blue Adhesive-backed fems were added and the card front was done!

For the inside, I added a strip of the Blends-treated Vellum that I had trimmed from the basic piece to a Basic White panel and that was it. The panel was added to the inside of the card with iquid glue.

For the envelope… I took a piece of Misty Moonlight and ran it through the Painted Texture Embossing Folder, then added it to the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit. I used this embossing folder as I wanted it to look like rumbling sea 🙂 For the front of the card I stamped the fish using Calypso Coral ink, then the bubble stamp with Misty Moonlight ink – a school of fish! And the card was done.

Fun project! I hadn’t used the Picture This Dies before, nor have I played enough with the Seascape bundle. Card cuts will be listed at the end of this post. 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 for July – 4TKMUNQH . 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.
