Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Fun Bookmark Card for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on November 12, 2024 by suepr8ther

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is “Christmas or Happy Holidays”.  My card today features the Reindeer Fun Dies, the Peaceful Season Stamps & Dies Bundle and A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper.  We have a great group of participants in our hop this month.  Please take time to stop by to visit each blog to see what the participating Inkin’ Krew Team members are sharing with you today.

My card today features the Reindeer Fun Dies.  And as the name suggests – they are really fun!  The reindeer go together very easily and the combinations you can use to create them are endless.  For this deer I used Early Espresso card stock for the bottom layer, Basic Beige for the middle and Pecan Pie for the top layer.  The wreath is Garden Green and the bow is Real Red.  Adhere the layers, wreath and bow with a bit of Liquid Glue.

The card base is Misty Moonlight with a panel of Designer Series Paper from the A Little Bit Festive collection adhered with Liquid Glue.  Die cut the word Christmas from a 1″ x 4″ strip of Basic White cardstock with the die from the Peaceful Season Bundle.  Save the die cut word for another project and adhere the negative at the top of the card front with Liquid Glue.  Stamp the sentiment with Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and crop with a label die from the Peaceful Season Dies.  Adhere at the bottom of the card front with Glue.

To create the focal piece, which is a bookmark, the white 2-3/4″ square layer is actually a corner cut from the bottom of an envelope.  Next cut a 2-1/2″ square of Misty Moonlight cardstock and score all four sides at 1/4″ and 3/8″.  Adhere the scored panel (ridges on the top side) to the envelope corner with  Liquid Glue.  Then assemble the deer piece and adhere to the center of the panel with Glue.

Make sure the “closed” edges of the square are at the top – left and right, and the “open” edges are at the bottom left and right.

Carefully cut a slit across the card front 3″ down from the top, 1/2″ in from each side, so cut across from 1/2″ to 3-3/4″.  You will slide the point of the back side of the bookmark through the slit to secure it in place.  Do not adhere it, as it is meant to be removable.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock.  Adhere strips of DSP across the top and bottom edges to complete.  Then adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Liquid Glue.  I will add a sticky note with instructions inside for the recipient so they don’t miss out on the fun.

Here’s the inside of the card once the bookmark is removed and ready to mark the page.

He’s so cute hanging out on the corner of the catalog page and would work great in a book!

* This card was inspired by a removable bookmark card posted here by Rachel Tessman.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Grateful for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on October 8, 2024 by suepr8ther

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is “Giving Thanks”.  My card today features the Autumn Expression Stamp Set, the Greetings of the Season Dies plus some Iconic Designer Series Paper and a card base from the September 2024 Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit .  We have a great group of participants in our hop this month.  Please take time to stop by to visit each blog to see what the participating Inkin’ Krew Team members are sharing with you today.

This fun fold Fall card features a sentiment from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set plus an assortment of fall papers and die cut leaves.  Cut the Cajun Craze card base to 4-1/4″ x 11″ and score at 5-1/2″ and 6-3/4″.

Begin by adhering the 1″ x 4″ strip of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the 1-1/4″ wide section of the front of a Cajun card stock base with Liquid Glue.  Tie a knot in the center of a 7″ length of Center Stripe ribbon. Lay it over the strip of DSP section and adhere the ends to the inside of the card with tape.  Then use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere this small section of the card front to the card back, creating a book fold.    Next, cut the smallest card base in the Autumn Abundance card kit in half.  (Or you can use a 4″ x 4″ panel of any patterned paper) Then adhere the 4″ x 4″ panel to the 4 1/4″ square section of the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set with Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  Cut out with a label die from the Greetings of the Season Dies. Place the same die upside down on a panel of Early Espresso cardstock and use a pencil to trace around the outside edge.  Use Paper Snips to cut along the pencil line, creating a mat for the sentiment piece.  Adhere the sentiment to the mat with Liquid Glue.

Using a blending brush, add some fall colors to a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock with Wild Wheat, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink.  Cut a few leaves from the inked piece as well as some from Cajun Craze cardstock with dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  Cut a berry branch with a die from the Iconic Imagery Dies from Real Red cardstock.  Use a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker to color the branch, leaving the berries red.  Determine the placement of the leaves, berries and sentiment and adhere all pieces. Use Glue Dots to adhere the leaves and Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.  Embellish with Copper Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems, using a larger one to cover the hole that was cut by the die next to the sentiment.

Use Glue to adhere a narrow strip of DSP across the bottom of the 4″ x 4″ panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Adhere a couple more die cut leaves with Glue Dots.  The inside panel is adhered to the card base with Liquid Glue.

***  You can find a complete list of supplies for this project, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 6, 2023 by suepr8ther

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Art Gallery Stamp Set, Floral Gallery Dies and the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Color Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here are the colors we are using this week:

This card features a panel of the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper that includes four of the five colors listed above.  So fun!  To begin, adhere a panel of the DSP to a panel of Calypso Coral card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then use Glue to adhere a strip of DSP from the same collection across the front.

Wrap a length of Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon twice around the decorative panel and tie a bow close to the right edge.  Then adhere the panel to the front of the Orchid Oasis card base with Liquid Glue.  Use Calypso Coral ink to stamp the large flower from the Art Gallery Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White card stock, stamping off once on a scrap first.  Then stamp the flower highlights in full strength Calypso Coral.

Use the coordinating die from the Floral Gallery Dies to cut out the flower.  Cut a circle from Basic White card stock with the second to largest Stylish Shapes dies.  Adhere the die cut flower to the circle with Liquid Glue. Adhere the floral circle accent to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Use Orchid Oasis ink to stamp the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set on a strip of Basic White card stock.  Cut out the sentiment with a die from the Floral Gallery Dies.  Adhere to the card front with Dimensionals under the left end and Glue where it overlaps the flower piece.  Add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to complete.

Adhere a strip of the Fancy Flora DSP along the left side of a panel of Basic White card stock.  Adhere the panel to a Calypso Coral mat with Liquid Glue and then use Glue to adhere the layer to the inside of the card base.  Ready to go!

Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Sympathy Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 30, 2023 by suepr8ther

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Something Fancy Bundle, Penned Flowers Dies and the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here is the Sketch we are using this week:

This sympathy card is monochromatic – Gray, White and Silver – so these look like black and white photos, but they are in color.  The card is very simple but elegant in person.

Use the matte silver foil paper to add some shimmer to the design.  The die cut flowers and leaves are from the Penned Flowers Dies.  Adhere a panel of the gray and white floral print design from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper to a panel of the matte Silver Foil Paper with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Die cut the large floral design and the large leaf design from matte Silver Foil with dies from the Penned Flowers dies.  Use Smoky Slate ink to stamp the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set on a panel of Basic White card stock.  Cut it out with a label die from the Something Fancy Dies. Use the medium sized label die of the same shape to cut a mat from Smoky Slate card stock.  Adhere the stamped sentiment label to the mat with Liquid Glue.

Determine the placement of the die cuts and adhere them to the front layer with small dabs of Liquid Glue.  Adhere the label to the card front with Glue.  Then adhere the completed panel to the Smoky  Slate card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Add some Iridescent Pearl embellishments.

Adhere a panel of Basic White card stock to a panel of the Abigail Rose DSP using Liquid Glue.  Then adhere the layer to the inside of the card with Glue, as well.  Add a double leaf die cut and a large leaf die cut from the matte Silver Foil to the inside of the card as shown.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Masculine Birthday for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 2, 2023 by suepr8ther

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.  It also has some Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here is the Sketch we are using this week:

This is a quick and easy card with the By the Bay Designer Series Paper doing all the work.  The two designs I used have Pearl Foil accents.  They are a bit hard to capture in photos but definitely eye-catching in person.

Adhere a full size panel of the swirl design paper the the front of a Night of Navy card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The oyster shell design panel is adhered to the front with Liquid Glue as well.

Use Night of Navy ink to stamp the birthday sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set on a panel of Gray Granite card stock.  Cut the label with a die from the Stitched Rectangles Die Set.  The sentiment is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Embellish with a few Adhesive Backed Milky Dots.

Adhere a strip of the oyster shell design paper from the By the Bay collection to a panel of Basic White card stock with Liquid Glue.  Then adhere the completed panel to the inside of the card base.  Now it’s all ready for a handwritten note.

This card also features a couple of products that will be available for purchase on March 1st as Online Exclusives.  The texture is added to the panel of Soft Sea Foam card stock with one of three embossing folders in the Basic 3D Embossing Folders collection.  The embellishments are Loose Frosted Dots.

Adhere the textured panel of Soft Sea Foam card stock to a Basic Black mat with Stampin’ Seal.  Then adhere the layer to the front of a Petal Pink card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Fussy-cut the blooms from the Favored Flowers DSP using Paper Snips.  Adhere the flowers to the card front the Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment is die cut from Petal Pink and Basic Black card stock with the Amazing Thanks Dies.  Adhere the layers with Liquid Glue.  Then adhere the sentiment to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Embellish with some Petal Pink Loose Frosted Dots adhered with small dabs of Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 9, 2023 by suepr8ther

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, the Playing in the Rain Dies and the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Color Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here are the colors we are using (pick at least 3).  I used four of them.

My card design was inspired by this one posted by Mary Deatherage.  She called the design a Folded Corner Peek-A-Boo card.  Check out her post for a great graphic plus a video tutorial.

Begin by cutting and scoring the four rectangles of DSP from the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper for the card front.  Be mindful of the placement of the folds if your paper has a directional design.  I did a dry-fit to determine the placement of the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set on the Basic White card stock.  Then I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus.  Adhere the rectangles to the Basic White panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added Glue Dots to keep the folded sections stuck back.

Use the Playing in the Rain Dies to cut out a character from the Rain or Shine Specialty DSP.  Adhere it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Adhere a few Loose Daisy Embellishments with dabs of Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiments and small hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set on a panel of Basic White card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Adhere a strip of Rain or Shine Specialty DSP along the left side and add a few Loose Daisy Embellishments in the lower right corner.  Adhere to the inside of the card with Liquid Glue.
