.Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You may come from the creative Tara or simply hopped in here. However you arrived, we’re glad you came. We have a color challenge today and when I saw the challenge I immediately went to my DSP stash to see what ‘fit the bill’. I hope you like the card.

The only color missing in this Designer Series Paper is Coastal Cabana ~ and the paper is called Regency Park 6×6 DSP. I’ve used Petal Pink as my card base with Night of Navy on each of the side panels under the Designer Series Paper. The focal point is the decoration on the belly band. I first die cut the larger piece in Night of Navy, then die cut several flowers: Night of Navy, Basic White and a single Petal Pink. Once I adhered the small flowers to the Night of Navy , I die cut a Basic White piece to add the sentiment. The sentiment comes from Sentimental Park stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the Night of Navy decorated piece with Stampin’ Seal, slipping it under the flowers. It worked perfectly. I then added a bow with the Bordered Ribbon, which is Night of Navy. After making the bow I trimmed down the center of the ribbon so that it looked softer. I adhered this to the sentiment panel with a glue dot.

Back to the card base… cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, I score on the long side at 2 1/8, then fold the opposite side over to meet it. Sometimes when I score each long side at 2 1/8, there is a gap, and I didn’t want that. Night of Navy panels were added to each small panel, then a piece of the Regency Park was adhered over that. Because the belly band is the show piece on this card, I completed that by wrapping a 1 x 9 1/2 strip of Night of Navy around the card, overlapping in front and securing the ends together with Stampin’ Seal. I added the decorated sentiment banner to the front (right on the 1″ strip) with Stampin’ Seal. I removed the completed belly band to finish the inside of the card.

For the inside, I added more pieces of the Regency Park DSP showing off a Balmy Blue design.on each panel. For the center panel I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink – still from the Sentimental Park stamp set. Then I stamped the flower ‘bouquet’ in Petal Pink ink in two places, surrounding the sentiment. The ‘bouquet’ is also park of the Sentimental Park stamp set. I adhered the Basic White panel to the center of the inside and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same design of Regency Park 6×6 DSP as on the card front for the flap, trimmed tom fit. Across the front I adhered a strip of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP pattern in Balmy Blue to coordinate perfectly with the card.

I love how this turned out – the contrasts in color compliment each other nicely and show off the banner too.

Stampin’ Up! Sentiment Park Bundle for a Thank You

Good Wednesday morning! It’s mid-week… have you been making progress on your list? I sometimes make paper lists, but more often the list is in my head. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not so much. This week, at least so far, I’m feeling good about what I’ve done… cleaning my craft room. My craft room has lots of other products/ projects besides Stampin’ Up!, card making, stamping, paper, etc. And that’s where my focus is ~ what am I likely to do or better yet, when did I last work with this medium? Then the questions is… what becomes of the materials? Keep? Pass on? Or do they go in the trash? Up to now it’s been mostly pass on and trash!!! But now comes the hard part… actually using or completing a project once started some time ago 😀 In the midst of decisions… I made a card for today using the wonderful new Sentimental Park Bundle and Regency Park 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Thanks

Just look at this fun Regency Park 6×6 DSP… but the showstopper is the center banner – l-o-v-e! That is made with the Sentimental Park Dies. And those cute little flower die cuts? Yep – Sentimental Park Dies. The sentiment is from Sentimental Park stamp set. The ribbon is fun too, a nice accent. That is from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack found in the new Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. And the embellishments? Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots, also found in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. Do you not have a catalog? If you do not have a demonstrator, reach out to me and we can fix that 👍

For the inside of the card, I began by stamping the floral images from Sentimental Park stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink. The sentiments are also from the Sentimental Park stamp set and stamped in Petal Pink for a nice soft contrast, but maybe are too soft as they don’t show quite enough. ugh…

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Thanks.3

For the envelope, more of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit. The flowers are from Sentimental Park stamp set – and a two-step stamp set. The filler is Petal Pink ink with the accent being Sweet Sorbet ink. Great combination!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Petal Park

Good morning friends – ’tis Tuesday and the week is moving along. I have a very layered card for you today, easy but layered. It uses the fun Regency Park 6×6 DSP, Kraft 6×6 DSP (which I don’t use much), and the Petal Park stamp set, which is new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park layers

I began by adhering a layer of Kraft 6×6 on the entire front of a Thick Basic White card base, then did lots of cutting with my Paper Trimmer. Balmy Blue & the Regency Park 6×6 DSP is the bottom layer; Balmy Blue, Kraft 6×6 & another Regency Park 6×6 DSP for the next; and finally Balmy Blue, Kraft 6×6 and Basic White stamped with the Petal Park stamp set. I used Balmy Blue ink, Night of Navy ink and Shaded Spruce ink for the leaves. This is a two-step stamp set and lining each up was really easy. With the photopolymer stamps you’re able to see the perfect place to stamp. I added a double Linen Thread bow then three Enamel Dot Essentials in Night of Navy – also a new product in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. Card cuts will be listed at the bottom of this post.
