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.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Lights Aglow Double Twisted Ribbon Technique Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 24, 2022 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 Leaves of Holly Stamp Set, the Holly Berry Dies and the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here is the Sketch we are using:I found the Double Twisted Ribbon Technique on Pinterest and had lots of fun creating my panel for the card front.  There are multiple approaches and multiple videos to watch for this technique, so search them out and pick the one you prefer.  All the measurements used on this card can be found at the end of this post.

Use a panel of Basic White card stock for the base, scored from top to bottom at 1″ intervals.  Using two different colors of DSP makes this a Double Twisted Ribbon. The darker strips of DSP are adhered first, since they are in the background and also the “reverse side” of the ribbon.  The lighter more decorative strips are on top.  You can adhere the strips with Stampin’ Seal Tape or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Use paper snips to trim the ends of the strips that extend beyond the base layer along the left side and right side.  Then adhere the panel to a Cherry Cobbler card stock mat with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The sentiment is heat embossed with Gold embossing powder on Basic White card stock.  Cut it out with the label die from the Holly Berry Dies.  Place the label die upside down on a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock and trace around it with a pencil.  Cut along the line with Paper Snips and you have created a mat for the sentiment label.  Adhere the label to the mat with Glue and then adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside, adhere strips of DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock before adhering to a Cherry Cobbler mat.  Then adhere the layer to the inside of the card base with Liquid Glue.

Here’s another version of the same card – the difference is the sentiment is embossed in Gold on Cherry Cobbler card stock and the hand cut mat is Gold Foil.

Give this technique a try, and have some fun with it!

Stampin’ Up! Handmade Wishes Happy Holidays for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 17, 2022 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 Handmade Wishes Stamp Set, the Handmade Tag Punch and the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Color Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And these are the Colors we are using (pick at least 3):

Thanks to the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper, I used all five colors and was able to showcase the Designer Series Paper, the Handmade Wishes Stamp Set and Handmade Tag Punch.

This card is one of my go-to Fun Folds – the Joy Fold.  It’s an easy one.  Cut the panels of card stock and DSP as listed below and you should be able to put this together quickly.  Using different patterns from the same pack of Designer Series Paper makes coordination even easier.

Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere all the panels of DSP and card stock.  The largest panel (multicolor diagonal stripes) of the Sweetest Christmas DSP is adhered to the inside/front of the Real Red card base.  The medium sized piece (dots) is adhered to the front of the smaller card.

Use Real Red ink to stamp the scalloped frame from the Handmade Wishes stamp set on a panel of Basic White card stock.  The sentiment and holly leaves are stamped with Garden Green ink.  The berries are stamped in Real Red ink.  Use the Handmade Tag Punch to cut it out.  Adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  And add some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels over the top of the stamped berries for a little sparkle.

The small candy cane strips are adhered to the lower front flap – one is inside and one is on the front.  Stamp the holly leaves and berries in the corners of the Basic White inside panel before adhering to the inside of the card with Glue.  Have fun mixing and matching and trying different papers!

Posted on November 10, 2022 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 Christmas to Remember Stamp Set, the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Santa Express Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And this is the Sketch we are using:

Do you hear what I hear?  Santa’s saying “Ho, ho, ho!  Merry Christmas!” as he drives by on the holiday train.  The Santa Express Designer Series Paper is such a cute collection of patterns.

Adhere a panel of the Designer Series Paper to the front of a Real Red card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Use the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the image of Santa on the train.  Adhere to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set with Real Red ink on a strip of Basic White Thick card stock.  Trim down to the desired size.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere a strip of Santa Express DSP along the left side of a panel of Basic White card stock.  Use Real Red ink to stamp a sentiment from the new Framed & Festive Stamp Set to complete.
