Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes for Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hope

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a theme challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

I CASE'd a card by Wendy Lee at CreativelyLeeYours. Let's take a closer look...

I used the same measurements as Wendy and the product I used is listed after the names of our hoppers. The bow is cut from the DSP with a die. Does it remind you of a wrapped Christmas present?

For the inside...

I cut a stocking from the DSP. I love it when the dies match something in the DSP!

I'm entering my card at Pammie's Inky Pinkies 2443 since I haven't played there in awhile. Hope you'll visit Pam's challenge...it's an "Anything Goes". At Krafty Chicks Challenge their challenge #740 is an "Anything Goes" because it's the 5th Thursday of the month! I hope you will visit them as well.

Thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko. Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. I hope you enjoy all the creativity.

Stampin' Up! Perched in a Tree Christmas Card

Colour INKspiration Challenge on Facebook was the impetus for my card today. Thank you, Jan Clothier, for getting me introduced to the challenge.

I decided on the design because of The Paper Players PP713 Sketch Challenge. It just reminded me of a fun fold, don't you agree? I know Ann Schach does!

While I'm name dropping, let me thank Stef and Lauren for the theme inspiration at Jingle Belles Challenge While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks" (JB2422).

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Baby Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

Shall we take a larger look at my card? Good, I'm glad you agree we need to do that!

I created this card for my physical therapist. He and his wife are expecting twins, thus the pink and blue! I haven't finished the inside yet because I'm waiting to know the boy's name. The girl will be Isabella. Edit 10/25/24: I finished the inside as there was no room for names!

Lily Pond Lake DSP (Annual Catalog) did all the work for me. All I did was use the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the squares. The sentiment is from the Translucent Florals Stamp Set. The bow is done with the upcoming Lost Lagoon Soft Cording (11/5). I made a mistake scoring the base so I made it into a teeny tiny book fold...lol! The knot was so big that I had to hide it with the upcoming Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins (11/5).

(Edit for inside: All for Baby retired stamp set, Boho Blue ink and Pretty in Pink ink.)

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Birthday Card for the SU Demos Monthly Fun Fold Hop

Hello my FB peeps! Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I was inspired by Susan Campfield. I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"). Next I cut a layer of Summer Splash Cardstock 5 1/4" x 4" and a layer of Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper 5" x 3 7/8" (available to customers 11/5/24) and adhered them together.

For the left flap, I cut a piece of Summer Splash 4" x 3 1/2" and scored it at 3 1/2" on the 4" side. For the right flap, I cut another piece 3" x 3 1/2" and scored it at 3" on the 3 1/2" side. I put Tear & Tape on each scored tab and adhered it to the cardstock/DSP panel and adhered that to the card base.

The DSP pieces that cover the left and right flaps measure 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" and 2 7/8" x 2 7/8", respectively. Before I adhered the left side piece, I stamped the sentiment from Otterly Amazing (11/5) in Early Espresso but it looks like Garden Green to me! I added three Riverside Irregular Pearls (11/5) and called it done!

For the inside...

I cut a piece of Basic White (5" x 2 7/8") and adhered it to a piece of DSP measuring 5 1/4" x 4". The sentiments are from the Charming Duck Pond Stamp Set. The otter is from the retired Awesome Otters Stamp Set.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos. I also hope to see you Thursday for our Happy Inkin' Thursday weekly blog hop.

2. Karen Finkle - that's me!

Stampin' Up! Pastor Appreciation Card

 Good Sunday morning, peeps! This month is not only Agent Orange Awareness Month but it's Pastor Appreciation Month. So, I've covered both bases with my card today. Take a look see...

My card base is Pumpkin Pie Cardstock with a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP. I stamped the sentiments from the retired Thoughtful Branches stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink and added 3 birds from the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies and Birds.

For the inside...

I had adhered the strip of Splendid Autumn to a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped it with my large Pumpkin Pie ink pad. There was something wrong with the pad and it came out in globs. So, I cut the panel down, stamped the sentiment again in a spot of Pumpkin Pie. I do like the little spots. The sentiment is from the retired Happy Thoughts stamp set.

I have the most wonderful pastor and I truly appreciate him...not just in October! My heart goes out to any person diagnosed with Agent Orange cancer. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I might surprise you with another card on Wednesday. 

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a color challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

Let's take a closer look at what colors I used...

Yeppers, you got it...Garden Green, Early Espresso and Pool Party. My Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (available to customers 11/5) has those colors in it. The sentiment from Otterly Amazing (11/5) is stamped in Garden Green. I used a die from Otterly Adorable to cut out the one otter and adhered him with Dimensionals. My card base is Garden Green with a mat of Early Espresso.

For the inside...

I stamped sentiments from the Garden Meadow Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock.
