Stampin' UP! The Right Words Birthday Card for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

 Welcome to the AIK monthly blog hop. Our theme for this month is "Birthday" and we can  use any product we wish.  The list of hoppers is at the end of my post. I hope you'll hop along. 

Here's a thumbnail of what I created... 

Let's take a closer look... 

 

The DSP is Nature Walk and it's similar to the card I posted here. My card base is Very Vanilla. I adhered the pieces of DSP to a mat of Very Vanilla.

The arch was die cut from the Everyday Arches set.  The stamp sets I used are the Branching Out (retired) and The Right Words. 

I used Secret Sea ink for the sentiments and Pool Party to sponge the arch and the inside liner. Take a look see...

Stampin' UP! Feminine Retirement Card

Welcome to my Monday Morning Makeover Madness card. My masculine card was posted here. This is the feminine version.

 

I had a piece of Designer Series Paper in with my Flirty Flamingo card stock. I have no idea what the name of it is but I do like it! Everything else is the same with the exception there is no heart and, of course, the color. Stamp sets and measurements are in the prior post.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebrations Belated Birthday Card

Since I cut out more 1" x 5" pieces of From the Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper than what I needed for one card, I thought I would CASE yesterday's card, which you can see here. Take a look see...

I got a little luckier with this one because I think all the hearts are going in the same direction, unlike yesterday's!

Here's the inside...

Stampin' UP! Heartfelt Valentine Card

Happy weekend to you, stamping friends. Do you have anything special going on today? Saturdays are usually dinner with my daughter, son-in-love and his mother. The past two Saturdays we had to cancel due to ice and snow. He is an excellent chef and I think wings might be on the menu for today.

I LOVE my card today and I thank my upline, Mary Deatherage, for showing me how to create the design. Take a look see...

Mary has a great video on the "how to" so I won't reinvent the wheel. You can view it here. A chart of what I used is at the end of my post.

Here's the inside... 

I really had fun creating this card with some old but much loved DSP and stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate you letting me know if you did!

Stampin' Up! Christmas Card

Hello my stamping friends. Is it cold where you are? It's plenty cold here so let's bring on the winter trees and snow, shall we?

I made this card who knows when and just found it in my stash with two other Christmas cards. All it needed was a sentiment, which is from the retired Christmas Labels Stamp Set. The DSP is from the retired Boughs of Holly package. It's a gift card holder inside...

The sentiment is also from the Christmas Labels set and cut with a matching die. The DSP is the back of the same package mentioned above.

The ink I used is Mossy Meadow as is the cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you'll come back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge. Have a blessed day.

Stampin' UP! Floral Delight Birthday Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends. Today's card is a CASE of the card I made here. It's a wee bit different but the measurements and "how to" are the same. I didn't take a photo with the belly band but it was created with the smaller design side of the DSP.

The sentiments are from the retired Birthday Celebration Stamp Set and are stamped with Pool Party Ink. The daisy was punched with the retired Medium Daisy Punch. The heart and sprig were items I found in my stash...no idea from where they came!
 
The inside does not have the middle arch like the first one did. The enamel butterfly is on the inside rather than on the belly band.

Thanks for stopping by today.
