Amy’s Inkin’ Krew June Team Blog Hop!

June 11, 2019 admin Comments 17 comments

Welcome to the June blog hop of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew. We are so glad you are here because you are going to see some awesome projects that the team has created. I hope you enjoy all the ideas and our blog hop. Our theme for this month is “Birthday”. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Krew member’s blog. You will find the full line-up below to help you hop along from Krew member to Krew member. On we go…

My card for the hop is created by using the Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose Stamp Set.

I am playing along with the Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper June Challenge for today.

And… Seize the Birthday

The foundation of the card is Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink card stock, cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored and folded at 5-1/2″. A panel of Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper is used as a background panel for the 2″ x 4″ panel that is used for the rose mat. This 2″ x 4″ panel is bordered using the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Lace Dies to cut the lacy pieces from a strip of Whisper White card stock. The wild rose is stamped on a 3″ square of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends Light Petal Pink marker, Stampin’ Blends Light Flirty Flamingo marker, Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils in Melon Mambo and Real Red. The leaves are cut from a panel of the Bird Ballad DSP. A bow is made and popped on the card using Stampin’ Up! Baker’s Whisper White Twine. The greeting from Stampin’ Up! Well Said Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento black ink on a small square of Whisper White card stock.

The inside sentiment is the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the floral theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP. A rose is stamped in the lower left corner of the envelope and colored with the same markers and pencils as the rose on the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence

June 10, 2019 admin Comments 6 comments

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set is used for my creation today. I hope everyone had a great weekend! We did! Since our fearless leader moved off to New Jersey and left us we had a meeting at another team member’s home on Sunday and our leader had a meeting with us via the internet — isn’t technology grand! Here she was in her beautiful and I do mean beautiful new home especially her craft room with another bunch of ladies, she had already replaced all of us — SMILE! No, it was the part of our team that lives in New Jersey and isn’t God good to send her where she already has a huge bunch of friends. He doesn’t want her to be lonely. We miss you Amy but know you are starting a new adventure and that you will be well taken care of by that part of our team, we are so happy for you but not that you are gone! Take good care of her “ya’ll”! Well, that’s enough whining on to the card.

My design comes from Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

This is practically a one layer card with only the Stampin’ Up! Pool Party card stock base and the small Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White art panel. Both are less than half the card front. The card front and the other two panels are embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. The flowers are also embossed.

The art piece is the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Stamp Set. They have been stamped on Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock using Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo, Pretty Peacock, Mossy Meadow, and Daffodil Delight inks. Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels have been colored with Stampin’ Up! Pool Party ink.

The inside sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday and stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A flower from the Floral Essence stamp set is stamped in Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow ink that has been stamped off once

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the floral theme of the card. I gave the envelope flap a panel from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Essence DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams

June 1, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

My card uses some new some old. New is the Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane DSP. The old is all the remaining products, some like the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams and Incredible Like You stamp sets will be retiring June 3.

My challenges for today are CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #323. The focus is on the sentiment.

And… Global Design Project with the theme being Bees, Birds & Butterflies.

My camera must not pick up the Soft Sea Foam color of card stock, it doesn’t show up here as such. This DSP is such a lovely piece in person, the picture does not present its beauty! A label has been cut from the focal panel using the new Stampin’ Up! Stitched Nested Label Dies. This cut reveals the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seafoam mat behind it which the greeting from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set has been stamped in Stampin’ Up! Garden Green ink.

There is an envelope that coordinates with the card front. The Happy Belated Birthday is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. The dragonflies are from the soon to be retired Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.

The inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Incredible Like You stamp set. Part of it has been masked so it will say what you see.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a great weekend and may it be blessed.

Stampin’ Up! Sunshine Wishes

May 26, 2019 admin Comments 10 comments

My card is created using the Stampin’ Up! Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. As you can see a very simple easy card to create.

I am playing along in two challenges today the Double D Challenge.

And…

the Moving Along With the Time Monochrome Color Challenge.

As I said earlier, you can see how simple this card is to create. A card base from Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride card stock A 2-1/2″ square from the same card stock that has been cut using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Square Framelits. The card front and the butterfly panel have been embossed using the Stampin’ UP! Subtle Embossing Folder. A butterfly from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits is used to cut the butterfly in the center of the square. It is then returned to its place and a scrap of Stampin’ Up! Lovely Lipstick card stock is adhered behind it to show the Lovely Lipstick color through the butterfly. The heart and the word LOVE are also cut from Lovely Lipstick and adhered or popped on with Liquid Multipurpose Glue or Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three pearls from the Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels Assortment is scattered over the card front.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White using the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are having a blessed Memorial Day weekend.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade

May 20, 2019 admin Comments 4 comments

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade stamp set bundle that is being carried over in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog to create my card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge ending today.

My sketch is from the Hand Stamped Sentiment Sketch Challenge.

I started with a Very Vanilla card stock card base.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock was cut and embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder. This panel will be adhered to the card base once the card front is ready to adhere.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow card stock is cut and one of the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Everything is Rosy Product Medley is used to crop the trim on the edge of the Mossy Meadow panel. (available until May 31, this is a set you want to get even though it is available for such a short time. It is one of those set you want to keep.)

A panel is cut from a sheet of the Stampin’ Up! Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. This floral panel is adhered using Liquid Glue to the Mossy Meadow panel that has the decorative edge from using one of the dies in the Stampin’ Up! Everything is Rosy Product Medley. These two panels are adhered using Liquid Glue and then adhered to the panel that was embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder.

To create the flower that is popped on the floral panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I first stamped an image from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade stamp set in Versa Mark ink and then to get the color I wanted, I used Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler and Flirty Flamingo inks and stamped off once before stamping it over the Versa Mark ink. I used Clear Embossing Powder to heat emboss the image. The flower image was then colored using a Stampin’ Blends Light Flirty Flamingo and Light Petal Pink pens. I then fussy cut the flower out. I know there are dies for this flower, but I wanted the cut to be closer than you get when you use the dies. The Happy Birthday is from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. It is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock and matted onto a Mossy Meadow scrap of card stock and then popped onto the card front.

The inside sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Everything is Rosy Product Medley is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock. A smaller flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Promenade stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. A Stampin’ Blends Light Flirty Flamingo pen is used to color the flower.

An envelope flap is covered with a panel of the DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Petal Promenade DSP to match the card front.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my card and that you find inspiration for your own creations.
