Rainbow of Happiness – Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop

/ 6 Comments

Welcome to the monthly Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! This month’s theme is all about In Colors. You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today. I hope you enjoy all our In Color Blog Hop Projects!

Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky are one of my favorite In Color combinations and are featured in my project. Rainbow of Happiness is one of the Bundles in the Jan-June Mini Catalog that I will miss so I wanted to use it in my project before it retires on June 30th.

To create my card I started with the Sweet Sorbet cardbase from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. I die cut several of the rainbow stripes in Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky 6″x 6″ DSP Assortment. Then, I adhered them to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut the cardstock with the 2nd largest rectangle in the Deckled Rectangles Dies.

I used the Cloud Punch to punch out a Basic White Cloud and a Vellum Cloud. Then snipped the Vellum Cloud in half and adhered it to the back of the Basic White Cloud with Mini Glue Dots. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it to the rainbow.

The label is die cut with the Tailor Made Tags dies. I used Masking Paper to cover up “World” and stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet. Then masking the stamp again stamped “World” in Starry Sky.

I tied a piece of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon to the top of the tag and then attached it to the Basic White layer with Mini Glue Dots.

To put all the layers together, I adhered a piece of the Lovely Layers Vellum with Multipurpose glue to the cardbase. Then added the Basic White layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Iridescent Jewels to the front of the card and stamped some hearts to the inside of the card.

Speedy Recovery – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

/ 6 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop!

We hope you enjoy our New Annual Catalog Theme!

We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects using Stampin’ Up! products.

Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting!

My project features the Speedy Recover Stamp set. I love how the flower stamp works so well with the Awash In Beauty DSP. This easy fun fold starts with a note card from the Note Card & Envelopes. Score the front panel of the card at 1-3/4″ and fold it back.

Cut 2 pieces of Awash In Beauty DSP to 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ and adhere to the the front panel and the inside of the front panel. Cut another piece of Awash In Beauty DSP to 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ and adhere to the inside of the cardbase. I used the same pattern for both of the 1-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ pieces of DSP but you could choose 3 different patterns to show of the pretty paper.

Next, I die cut 2 of the largest circles from the Basic Shapes Dies. For the front label I stamped the flower image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored in the image with Stampin’ Blends. Then I stamped the greeting. To create the wrap around the flowers, I stamped the same flower image a second time on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock in Rich Razzleberry. Then, I snipped out just the wrap and adhered it over top of the stamped image on my label.

Be sure when adhering the label to the front of the card you only want to add adhesive to one side of the label so the card will open. You don’t want to make a mistake and put adhesive on the entire label or your card won’t open.

Adhere the second circle to the inside of the card right behind the front label so when the card is closed you don’t see it. To finish up my card I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to my card. Below are a few other variations of my card.

/ 20 Comments

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop of ideas and creative inspiration.

My Customer Thank You cards this month feature the Charming Sentiments Bundle and Abstract Beauty DSP. If you’ve been following me you know that I love an eye catching and easy to create card. This pretty card is no exception, and this card layout is also great for showing off Designer Series Paper.

To create this card I cut a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored it in half at 5-1/2″. I adhered a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP to the card base. Next, I adhered a 2-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP. I die cut a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock using the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it to the card.

To Create the label, I die cut the hexagon with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Then using the Charming Sentiments stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut it with the Charming Sentiments Dies. I love the extra shapes that are included with the Charming Sentiments Dies and cut out the Blushing Bride heart. I added the sentiment and heart to the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then added the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well. To finish the front of my card I added a few Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

On the inside of my card I added a piece of Basic White DSP and Abstract Beauty DSP. This strip of Abstract Beauty DSP is the scrap left over from the same pattern I used on the card front, trimmed to 1″ x 5-1/2″. I wanted us use up my pack of Abstract Beauty DSP before it retires at the end of the month, so I created several in one batch.

This Birthday Piggy Thinking of You Card

/ Leave a Comment

The inspiration for this piggy card came from Michelle Wilder, who presented 3 projects using the super cute This Birthday Piggy stamp set, at a Luv 2 Stamp Group Team event last weekend. Thanks Michelle for the inspiration!

I started with a card base of Orchid Oasis from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. Next, I cut 3 strips of 2022-2024 In Color DSP Assortment, in Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party, and adhered them to the card base.

I die cut a square with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Next I stamped the piggy image in Tuxedo Black memento Ink, and colored in the image with Stampin Blends. Then I stamped a few butterflies in Orchid Oasis and Tahitian Tide and added a few of the In Color Matte Decorative Dots. I adhered the square to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis and die cut it with the Decorative Labels Dies, adhered it to the bottom of the square with a Mini Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional. To finish I tied a bow with the In Color Bakers Twine to label.

This Birthday Piggy Thinking of You Card Measurements:

  • Card Base: Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes Orchid Oasis Card base
  • 2022 – 2024 In Color DSP Assortment: 3 strips cut to 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
