Stampin' Up! Sweet Thoughts Anniversary for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

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

I was able to create this spring card due to the generosity of my two uplines, Mary Deatherage and Amy Koenders. They rewarded their teams with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes for exceeding the Sale-A-Bration goals they set. I also am grateful to Suzanne Netz for her inspiration. Would you like to take a closer look? Okay...

I used a card base from the M & M Cards and Envelopes pack, a piece of Basic White cardstock and four cards from the M & M card pack. I taped the two flowery ones together and cut it to 5" x 3 3/4". The "happy life" one, I cut to 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" and adhered it over the seam.

The butterfly was fussy cut from the fourth card from the pack. I adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Next I created a banner from Pecan Pie cardstock and Basic White for the "happy" sticker from the M & M pack and also used the "anniversary" sticker.

For the inside, I used the two strips that were left from cutting down the flowerery panels. I cut the solid color mat from one of the envelopes in the card and envelope pack. The butterfly is one from the Paper Accents and is sponged lightly with Calypso Coral and the body is colored with a Pecan Pie Stamp N Write Marker.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Lane

 My card today is quick and easy IF you still have the Magnolia Lane M & M pack and the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper! Everything I used on the front is retired, unfortunately, with the exception of the pearl embellishment! I created it back in 2019 but forgot to post it because I hadn't finished the inside. (I'm cleaning up my craft room again...lol!!)

The ribbon and thread are from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.

For the inside I used the current Very Best Occasions Stamp Set for the sentiment.

The magnolia is from the retired Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our weekly blog hop.

Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Meets Magnolia Lane Memories & More Thank You Card

My card today is quick and easy IF you still have the Magnolia Lane M & M pack!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! World of Good Masculine Birthday Card

Hey! It's Saturday and I'm on my way to the mountains in northwest NC! Woo hoo! We've been waiting since June to return!!

On August 29 I made this card for my grandson...

and this month I made this one for my nephew who is into astronomy and has a great telescope that he built himself. This is what his looks like...

I think I like the bannerized one better. How 'bout you? The inside is basically the same as the August one just a little different cut on the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, stamped on a small card from the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack.

Thank you for stopping by today and tomorrow I'll be posting from chilly NC!

Stampin' Up! World of Good Memories & More Pack Birthday Card

This is the second card that I have made this week with the M & M Pack and the large card base. Here's a refresher of the first one.

I love the sparkle and shine of the 6" x 4" card from the pack so I'm entering my card at Creative Knockouts #362. I wrapped a piece of gold thread from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack "around the world", adhering it to the back with tape. 

The quote is from one of the 3" x 4" cards in the pack. I used a die from the Rectangle Stitched Dies to cut it out. I placed it on the gold trim with Dimensionals. I then adhered the world (Columbus would have been right in this instance...the world is flat!) to a Whisper White mat. I adhered that to a Mossy Meadow mat and that to the card base. 

UnstampaBelles is a challenge site where you must do NO stamping! This month they are challenging participants to create their own background. I think I met that challenge with my card front.

I am pleased with how it turned out and I thank my team mate, Donna Leonard, for allowing me to CASE her card.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Stampin' Up! World of Good Memories & More Birthday Card

A friend gave me envelopes and card bases that are not my usual size. The M & M pack is perfect for them. Here's what's in the pack...

and here is how I used it...

I used one of the 4" x 6" cards and adhered it with liquid glue. I cut one of the smaller cards, that had the quote on it, with one of the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

For the inside I cut a piece of Old World Specialty Designer Series Paper 4" x 6". It's important to adhere it in the right direction...ask me how I know! Fortunately, the liquid glue allowed me to get off quickly! In Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped the sentiment from Timeless Tropical on a scrap of Whisper White card stock. I cut it out with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Easy peasy! I thank my teammate, Donna Leonard, for inspiring me to get this pack out again. I have no idea where I put the stickers that come with this pack but once I find them, I may put them on the right side or on the envelope. Pardon me while I go clean up my craft area!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! World of Good Memories & More Card Pack

Good Sunday morning, peeps. Do you have a busy day planned? I do, so my card today is quick, easy and simple using the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack.

I adhered a World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Thick Whisper White card base and then adhered one of the mats from Memories & More.

For the inside I used a mat from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, partial piece from World of Good, and another mat from the Memories & More Card Pack.

These card packs are wonderful to work with when you need something in a hurry. This card could be used for farewell, graduation or new job, I would think and I also think it looks masculine. 

I'm entering my card at UnstampaBelles Challenges: July Challenge #102: Celebrate Relationships TWIST work in Pairs. So the relationship is with someone who is going out into the workplace after receiving an engineering degree and my pairs are the two mats from the card pack. The biggest prerequisite for the UnstampaBelles is just that...NO stamping!

I'm aslo entering again at Watercooler Wednesday: WWC280 - Kath's ATG Challenge with a Masculine Twist.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop World of Good Masculine Birthday Card

Welcome to this month’s Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. We’ve got a "birthday" theme today. I hope you’ll be able to spend some time reading and hopping through all the other talented team member projects today...once you've read mine, of course!!

I used the World of Good Memories & More Card back to make my card for today. My inspiration came from Susanne Netz, a Canadian demonstrator.

I have fallen in love with M & M Packs! When you aren't feeling well, they are so easy to put together. I also had my May 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit and By the Dock Stamp Set handy.

Here's how it came together...

1. Basic Black Card Stock for the base. Cut at 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/4".

2. One of the cards from the pack, angled, adhered and edges cut off. One of the edges goes on the inside...you'll see!

3. Another one of the cards for the sentiment cut down to fit the way you desire. Adhere with Dimensionals.

4. Adhere the round world sticker to the base.

5. Adhere the four antiqued Corners with liquid glue.

Card front is done!! I'm entering it in:

• Always Fun #166 "For Dad" and this just happens to be a birthday Dad!
• 
  
• Artsystamper Digitals Challenge #17 Black, White and 1 Color. The one color is brass...did you know there are many colors of brass? This one is in the yellow family.
• 
  
• Double Trouble Challenge #58 and I'm playing with Thing 1 and Thing 3...masculine and a circle and also with their collaborator Use Your Stuff #399 Masculine.

For the inside...

1. Adhere one of the cut edges to the bottom of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock with liquid glue.

2. The "amazing" sentiment is from the PP Kit and the "birthday" sentiment is from By the Dock. I stamped it at an angle because of the angled DSP.

Stampin' Up! Flowers for Every Season Memories & More

Good Sunday morning, stamping friends. I've been absent for two days as I have once again put my back out of crafting mode. I'm not able to stamp or use any of my equipment to emboss or die cut. BUT, I am able to create in my lap with a wonderful product from SU...the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Pack and the Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. Take a look see...

So, what do we have on this card? Lots of yellow, the word "Sunshine", the magic of stickers and rainbow of colors, that's right! ...which leads me to the challenges I'm entering today.

1. Allsorts #575 Summer Sunshine "Lots of Yellow"

2. Just Us Girls #539 Word Week "Sunshine"

3. The Paper Players PP494 Theme Week from Anne Marie "Sunshine & Rainbows"

4. UnstampaBelles Challenge#101: Magic with a TWIST of Walt Disney

Now, with the UnstampaBelles, you cannot have any stamping on the card and I do not! My card base and envelope are from a package and the sentiment is a card from the M & M pack which I adhered to the card base with liquid glue. The magic is how the stickers and enamel dots kicked the card up a notch. The rainbow colors reminded me of Kermit singing Rainbow Connection. What's that got to do with Walt Disney? His company owns the Muppets and the Muppet Studio where they film Muppet movies!

Seriously, the Memories & More supplies are a healing process for an uncooperative spine. You need to have these in your stash!

Thank you for visiting today. Tomorrow I will show you the end result of my card posted here.
