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! Playful Pets

Monday is here. Are you ready for another great week? Have you been making one Christmas card a day to get ahead of the rush. I think it is only 316 days until Christmas so you have 300 days. If you make two-three a week, you will be finished early. Use a simple stamp set that you know will be returning next Christmas season.

My design inspiration for today is the TGIF Sketch Challenge for the week.

Since all my little creatures are fussy cut from DSP I believe it would qualify for Crafty Hazelnuts Pattern Paper Challenge.

Since my card is lots of animals, I believe I am eligible for the Crafty Animals: Challenge #47.

And 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge.

My cute critters are from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper as is the background panel with all the writing. My card is a CASE of Krista Cleary-Yagci’s card. You can see her card here.

The card base for my critters is Real Red card stock. The black and white stripe mat you see is from the True Love DSP. The red stripe is from the Playful Pets DSP.

All the little critters are fussy cut from the Playful Pets DSP as are the hearts that surround them. The Love is cropped from Real Red card stock using a dies from the Well Written Dies.

The sentiment panel has a strip of the Playful Pals DSP applied at the bottom of the Basic White card stock panel. One of the little critters wants to play with us so she is hiding and only showing her tail.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Playful Pets DSP adhered to the envelope flap. Multipurpose glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals are the two adhesives used for adhering the critters to their places on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts

Happy rainy Saturday! The rain has not let up all night. I believe we have taken the rain from Seattle it has rained so much in the past month. The sun is probably shining there.

Today’s card features the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set, and the Many Hearts Dies. You can find more information about these items at the post end along with the card cuts.

Design inspiration for today’s challenge is Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Since the Time Out Challenges is featuring pink and red and green, I believe my card would qualify for the challenge, even with my green being a blue-green.

Start with a Blushing Bride card stock base. Take another panel of the same cut it the same size as the card base and emboss using the Hearts Embossing Folder. Mat this panel on a Bermuda Bay card stock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Crop a panel from a sheet of the Oh So Ombre DSP using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I believe I used the next to the smallest die.

Crop a heart from Real Red card stock, along with a heart from Rococo Rose card stock and Oh So Ombre DSP using a die from the Many Hearts Dies. The greeting stamped on the Oh So Ombre DSP is from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set.

After adhering all the elements to the Heart embossed panel adhere the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Three pearls from the Pastel Pearls are adhered above the Many Hearts.

The sentiment panel is Basic White card stock and has hearts from the Many Hearts adhered across the panel using Multipurpose Glue.
