Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — You’re In My Thoughts Today

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions — You’re In My Thoughts Today

I believe I am addicted to this stamp set and designer series paper.  I am so happy it carried over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper makes a beautiful card.  i have made cards that are similar to this one.  I do not know what this fun fold is called but it is one of my favorite along with the easel card.

I am entering Creative Creases Challenge for this card.

The card base is Boho Blue cardstock. A piece of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper  is cut and adhered to the background panel.  Two piece of a different pattern of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper is cut, matted to Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the card base on the front panel and the second panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The hummingbird and flower images are stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock.  They are colored using Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and  Real Red Stampin’ Blends.  A panel of Basic White is stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink  with a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.  The panel is matted to a piece of Boho Blue cardstock.  The hummingbird and flowers are popped on the panel using  Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The panel is then adhered to the left front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Be sure to only put glue on the panel about 1″ , if you put glue on the entire panel you will glue the panel to the background panel of the card.

Repeat the same Basic White cardstock panel for the inside. Stamp a sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink.  Adhere a flower to the lower corner. Pop gems from  Tinsel Gem Four Pack around the card front.

This is the way the card looks standing.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece  of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
