Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink

Good Morning! Are you happy it is Friday or does your weekend come in the middle of the week. That does happen to so many people they have two days off from work in the middle of the week and work weekends.

The card today is a Thinking of You card with the greeting being from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. When you have a Thinking of You card it can be made into a birthday card, sympathy, encouragement, or any kind you chose by the sentiment you have on the inside of the card. That is what is so great about putting Thinking of You as the greeting. This card also features the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set, using the hummingbird and flower for the art piece.

Inspiration comes from the Fusion Challenge. I am playing with both sides, the sketch & the photo.

Start with a card base of Basic White card stock. Adhere a panel of Bermuda Bay card stock over the front of the card base. Next, adhere one of the green panels of DSP from the Oh So Ombre DSP. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere these panels together.

On a panel of Basic White card stock stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink the flower from the Touch of Ink Stamp Set. Stamp the Thinking of You greeting from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

Stamp the hummingbird on a separate panel of card stock from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set so it can be fussy cut. Color the hummingbird and flower using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather, and Purple Posy.

Cut two strips of DSP, one from the Oh So Ombre DSP and one from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Flag one end of the Oh So Ombre strip. Adhere the flagged strip over the longer strip then adhere both to the right edge of the card front. Pop three pearls from the Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On a pink panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. Stamp the flower and hummingbird from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set and color with the same markers as the flower and hummingbird on the card front.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brillance

I ordered Butterfly Brilliance set the day pre-order opened but for some reason, I am just now getting to play with this gorgeous butterfly DSP. The Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP (coming on March 2!) is my main feature. The greeting is from a Sale-A-Bration item — A Touch of Ink. Sale-A-Bration will end in four (4) days, 5 counting today. It will return later in the summer with all new Sale-A-Bration items.

My design inspiration comes from the Fab Friday Challenge.

The card base is Bermuda Bay card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Cut a panel of the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP and mat it to a panel of So Saffron card stock. After matting adhere to the panel over the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossed panel. Add three Elegant Faceted Gems to the top of the card.

Cut a strip of So Saffron card stock and a triangle of Bermuda Bay card stock. On the Bermuda Bay portion stamp the greeting from A Touch of Ink Stamp Set. This is a free Sale-A-Bration item. Sale-A-Bration ends in 4 days. Pop on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel is a panel of So Saffron card stock with a border of the Butterfly Bijou DSP.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Happy Cold Tuesday. Have a great day and be blessed you are inside in the warmth. My nephew and his SIL are linemen, so you know what that means in this weather. The SIL is a helicopter lineman, meaning he stands on the runner of the helicopter and works on the lines. They have to go everywhere there is a need.

My card today is created using the True Love DSP, Stitched Be Mine Dies, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, and a greeting from Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. Oh, and the negative space left from cropping a panel with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. When I looked at that it, I thought that will make a great frame and it does.

Inspiration today comes from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge — this week it is a color challenge.

Start with a card base of Bermuda Bay card stock and emboss a panel of the same using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. This will be adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Glue. Adhere the Basic White card stock frame over the embossed panel.

Fussy Cut the flowers from a panel of the True Love DSP. Color using Real Red and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Markers. Use a Blender Pen and Blushing Bride ink to color the rosebuds. Pop the flowers in the left corner of the embossed panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewel around the card front.

Crop three hearts from Real Red card stock using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Stack the hearts together to give some dimension. Stamp a greeting from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set on the heart using Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Pop in the upper right corner over the frame a bit.

Fussy cut and color more flowers for the Basic White card stock sentiment panel. Adhere to the card base after coloring.

Color more flowers and adhere the colored panel to the flap of a medium Basic White envelope.

Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden

Welcome to a chilly (right down cold) day here. I thought it was Fall not Winter.

Inspiration for this card design is from the Freshly Made Sketches – 459 sketch by jen

The card today features the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (available in January 2021). The hello greeting is from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern stamp set.

How do you give instructions on creating? The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock with a background panel embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. Two different pieces of the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden DSP is using in cutting the angles. You can cut the angles the desired size you prefer. Fussy cut the little dragonflies and the bees and pop on the blue piece. Three Stampin’ Up! 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots are added to the card front.

The more I looked at the inside panel the more I felt it would be better as just a blank page with only the small greeting. Maybe it is the angle it was photographed.

The Stampin’ Up! Whisper White medium size envelope gets a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Hoping everyone survived the weather we had last night! One more day and you can start your weekend that is if you are not one of the people who works weekends!

Today I am sharing a card created using Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and the Stitched Label Dies, Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Very Versaille stamp set. It makes for a pretty simple easy card.

The design inspiration comes from the Paper Player Sketch Challenge: PP514

Start with a card base of Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy card stock with a panel of Bumblebee card stock embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder and matted on a Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze card stock mat.

Using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Label Dies crop three mats from the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper for the dragonflies that have been punched from the DSP using the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Punch.

Stamp the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versaille stamp set in Tuxedo Memento Black in at the bottom of the Bumblebee embossed panel then adhere the three mats to the Bumblebee embossed panel using Multipurpose Glue. Pop the dragonflies onto the panel using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add three Stampin’ Up! 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the embossed panel and your card front is finished.

The sentiments are from Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set and Forever Blossoms stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. The leaf art is from the Very Versailles stamp set and the dragonfly is from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set. The dragonfly is stamped in Memento Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee ink which is one of the new in-colors for 2020-2022.
