Back on June 18, Stampin' Up! held a "Creativity Now" virtual event and we were able to make four cards (I tweaked mine!) with the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. It will be available to customers July 1 in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog. I hope you like my cards and the Splendid Thoughts Bundle.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll return on Thursday for our Happy Inkin' blog hop.
Welcome to my Monday Makeover Madness. My card today is a makeover of this one below.
The sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set, is stamped in Daffodil Delight and punched out with the retired Story Label Punch. The Polished Pink Cardstock mat is punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch. It's adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the rose from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set in Polished Pink on the left corner of my envelope.
For the inside, I used the retired Detailed Trio Punch to punch three of the corners. The sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set is stamped in Orchid Oasis ink. The rose is from the Happiness Abounds set and is stamped in Polished Pink ink. I colored the center with my Light So Saffron Stampin' Blend. I adhered a strip of the Hues of Happiness DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I made this card for the challenges at Atlantic Hearts and Double Trouble...more about that at the end of my post!
The embossed heart panel measures 1 5/8" x 5 1/4". The Basic Black mat measures 1 3/4" x 5 1/4". The "Happy Anniversary" is an outline sticker from Peel Offs.
I wrapped a 6" piece of 3/8" Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon (retired) around the panel and adhered it to the card base with liquid glue. The Poppy Parade cut out and embossed heart was created with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and Bouquet of Love Dies, which are paired and retire 6/30/22. (That's a deal at $14.50! The retiring products are available while supplies last.) I adhered it to the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.
To finish off the front, I adhered three black Classic Matte Dots.
My design was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch #478.
AH is partnering with Double Trouble Challenge #114 - "YouNique Technique", thus my hand-stamped background and dry embossing!
Today is a wonderful day, not only because it's Fun Fold Friday, but because this is my second time as Guest Designer for Stamping Secrets Creative Creases. This is challenge #35 and it's always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold. I do hope you'll participate in the challenge.
I used two current Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets to create my card and a retired Designer Series Specialty Paper (Expressions in Ink).
My card base is Polished Pink Cardstock which measures 7" x 5 1/4". I scored it on the 7" side at 4 1/4", folded and burnished it.
I cut pieces of Basic White measuring 4" x 5" for the inner liner and 2 3/4" x 4" for the art panel. I stamped that piece in Evening Evergreen ink (1st and 2nd generation) with the spot stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Gold Emboss Powder.
The gold striped DSP is from the Expressions in Ink pack and measures 4" x 4". It is scored and folded at 3". The 1" part is centered vertically and adhered to the back of the inner liner before the liner is adhered to the card base, thus creating a "flap". So, do your stamping while the inner liner is free. My sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set and the little flowers are from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.
Then I adhered the Happy Birthday piece to the gold striped flap. I stamped a rose from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set in Polished Pink and fussy cut it. I had some Gold Glimmer Paper leaves in my stash and adhered those under the rose that I adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Next I worked on the front flap panel. I adhered a gold foil mat 2 1/2" x 5" to it and then adhered a 2" x 5" piece of Expressions in Ink to it. Et voila, the card was done. This card was so much easier than the one I created for the June 10 Creative Creases Challenge!
I'm entering this card in the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #184.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will try your hand at this and come back and visit me on Sunday. Have a great weekend and thank you, Debbie, for inviting me to be Guest Designer for your wonderful Creative Creases Challenge Blog. It's been a blast!!

Welcome to my Monday Morning Makeover Madness card. This one is a makeover of my teammate, Tara Carpenter, from Missouri. She demonstrated her card at our quarterly Inkin' Krew Zoom meeting last week and you can see it here. We used the Splendid Thoughts Bundle, which will be available to customers July 1. In case you haven't heard, Stampin' Up! is having free shipping tomorrow only so I'm getting my list together. If you'd like to place an order through me as your demonstrator, just click on the tab on the right side bar. Back to the card after that psa!
Here is how mine turned out...
I'm entering my card at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge #2225, Crafty Gals Corner #232 - ATG, and Path of Positivity Challenge #102 Anything Goes Positive. This site is new to me. They have an optional twist, but I'm not doing that.
Thank you for stopping by today and here's the only green M & M I could find that wasn't controversial! To me, M & M's are just chocolate...I had not heard the big hullaballoo over it until today.
"He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters."
Psalm 23:2
I have created so many cards in a couple of weeks because our Card Group started meeting again that I have decided to blog on Sundays, in addition to Mondays, Thursdays for our blog hop, Fridays and third Tuesday for our monthly blog hop.
This card was demonstrated by Deb using her Plentiful Plants Stamp Set, Perfect Plants Dies and my Through it Together Stamp Set, Brick & Mortar EF and Stylish Shapes Dies. The instructions and measurements follow the photos.
Basic White: 4 x 5 1/4 (2) emboss one with Brick & Mortar 3D
Embossing Folder; sponge lightly with Gray Granite; the other piece is for the
inner liner
Adhere embossed panel to card base. On the inner liner,
stamp the pot in Cajun Craze and the plant in Mossy Meadow second generation.
Stamp sentiment from Through it Together in Crushed Curry. Punch three corners
with the retired Detailed Trio Punch (retired).
On scrap Basic White, stamp leaves in Mossy Meadow full
strength and second generation; stamp plant pot in Cajun Craze and crop images with the coordinating Perfect Plant Dies.
Crop a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with the macramé die
Put the smaller leaves through the macramé and put small
dabs of liquid glue on back of macramé.
Adhere bigger leaves behind smaller one with a glue dot. Tie a piece of jute twine (retired) through the hole and adhere to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment (Through it Together) in VersaMark Ink
onto a piece of Crushed Curry card stock.
Cover with White Basics Stampin' Emboss Powder. Gently tap
to remove the excess. Set with a heat tool. Crop with the smallest banner die from Stylish
Shapes Dies.
Add three clear raindrop Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (retired) to the card front wherever you choose!
I'm entering my card in the Alphabet Challenge Blog: F is for Friendship and Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Anything Goes Embossing with a Twist of Birds. I chose not to do the twist as I threw my back out the other day doing laundry. 😓😏 AND the Snippets Playground: Challenge #430. I am very interested in winning the prize! I also loved seeing Di's snippets card.
Thank you for stopping by today and if you return tomorrow, I might have some M & M's for you 😄
