Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Stamp Set

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Happy Monday. Have a great week.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set, the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Stampin’ Blends Markers. I was looking on Pinterest for a Fun Fold card and I found this one created by Melissa’s Crafting Treehouse.

I chose the daisies and the bees from the Card Concept Challenge as my theme for my card today.

The card base is So Saffron card stock with a panel of the same embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Cut the following.

So Saffron Card Base — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
So Saffron card stock Embossed Panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″
Mossy Meadow card stock–Fun Fold — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 3″, 5-1/2″, 8″ and 9-1/2″ Adhere a length of ribbon colored using a So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker.
Very Vanilla card stock — 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Use Stitched So Sweetly Dies to crop this panel
Dandy Garden DSP — 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
Dandy Garden DSP – back of art panel — 2″ x 3″
Very Vanilla card stock for a single stamp of flowers — 1-1/4″ x 4-1/8″
Very Vanilla card stock sentiment panel — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″
Dandy Garden DSP — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″″
Very Vanilla Inside Panel — 2-1/4″ x 4-1/8″

Stamp the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink. Color the flowers in So Saffron, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The sentiment on the first panel with a sentiment comes from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. It was too long for the panel so I stamped it in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and cut the line apart and placed it on the panel in a zig-zag design, adding three bees.

A panel of Dandy Garden DSP is adhered to the first panel above. A bee and dragonfly are fussy cut and popped on the panel. The Very Vanilla card stock panel with the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. The flowers are stamped from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set also and colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! True Love

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and you can you didn’t sneak any candy eggs or peeps out of someone’s basket. Did you make a Peeps cake? Haven’t seen one of those for many years.

My card today features the True Love DSP with a little help from the February Paper Pumpkin -Bouquet of Hope leftovers.

My design inspiration is from the Paper Players Challenge

Start with a Blackberry Bliss card stock base. Adhere a Basic White card stock panel over the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue Emboss a panel of Rococo Rose card stock using the Ornate Floral 3-D Embossing Folder. Cut the panel diagonally after embossing.

Adhere the embossed panel over the Basic White card stock, then adhere the Paper Pumpkin panel over the embossed panel. Stamp the greeting onto the Basic White card stock using Blackberry Bliss ink. Color the True Love DSP flowers using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. Fussy cut the flowers and pop on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add three of the sequins from the Paper Pumpkin leftovers.

Stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. Add flowers to the corners of the panel and adhere to the inside card base.

The Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of the True Love DSP.

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Happy Saturday everyone! Was your week so busy it left no time for card making? My week was a very busy one, with either taking my son to the doctor or the hospital. We went to these places so often the past week, I believe the Suburban learned the way so well it could drive all by itself to these places. Today, I will make cards and do all the other things needing to be done — like cleaning– taxes🙄, taxes! Have a fun, relaxing weekend doing your favorite things.

My card today features the beautiful flowers of the True Love DSP with the greeting from the Very Versaille Stamp Set. I colored them using Purple Posy, Granny Apple Green, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.

My design layout is inspired by the sketch from Sunday Stamps Challenge. I used the layout on the right, but maybe I will get to do the one on the right also if things work out well.

After coloring the flowers, I cut the panel in half making two panels, then I cut a short piece from the top of one and the bottom of the other. These were mounted onto Basic Black card stock for a mat. Next, after matting, the pieces are arranged on the card front.

A greeting from the Very Versaille Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink, fussy cut, and popped on the lower portion of the card using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. Two colored flowers have been added in the lower right corner.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the 2021-2022 Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern

Happy Monday, it is going to be a beautiful day, even if the dreaded pollen is being to appear. That pollen will be with us for a while and it interferes with being outside.

Yesterday’s card featured the Forever Greenery DSP that comes with the Forever Fern Suite. Today the stamp set Forever Fern is featured. The greeting and sentiment are from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. I am hoping this Happy Thoughts set carries over to the next catalog.

My design inspiration is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Start with a Basic White card stock base with a panel of the same cropped using the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Crop three rectangles using one of the smaller Stitched Rectangle Dies, then stamp three different images from the Forever Fern Stamp Set in Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry, and Pear Pizzazz ink.

A greeting from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and then cropped using one of the smallest Stitched Rectangle Dies.

A sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White card stock panel. An image from the Forever Fern Stamp Set is stamped in the upper left corner in Rich Razzleberry ink. Look at the difference between the two images, It must be something with the camera that causes the one at the top to look this way. Anyone know the cause let me know, please.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Forever Greenery DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts

Good morning, I hope everyone’s week has gone great. My week has been pretty busy, not even card-making time and you know how it is with a card addiction, but life happens and we deal with it.

Today’s card is for a dear, dear friend that lost her husband and then her daughter four days later. She has been so grief-stricken that she doesn’t want people calling her and won’t answer her phone. She is a lovely ole lady with flaming red hair still.

Today’s card features the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set. I hope this set is around for a long, long time because it has such wonderful sentiments. I also used the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder and the 2021-2022 Designer Series Paper that was available when someone joined during Sale-A-Bration. Being a demonstrator I had the opportunity for a short while to purchase this DSP.

Design inspiration comes from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday.

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of Basic Black card stock as the mat for the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder used to emboss the Basic White panel.

I used dies from the Layering Ovals Dies to crop the two ovals for the greeting. One is from the new 2021-2022 DSP the other that the greeting is stamped on in Garden Green ink is from a panel of Basic White card stock. A length of black ribbon is wrapped between the Basic White card stock and the DSP and a bow is made to pop on.

Hearts are cropped using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies to create the shamrocks. The hearts may be the negative portion of the hearts I have inside on the sentiment panel may be the negative portion, I guess it is according to you think of it. The three scalloped strips from Basic White card stock at the bottom of the front panel are cut with an old, old and I mean old pair of scissors. There are more modern ones today. Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. The hearts are the ones left when I cropped the panel of DSP to get the hearts to create shamrocks.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the 2021-2022 DSP applied to the envelope flap.
