Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Card for the Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends.  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...

 

Still sticking with my goal of using up my Paper Pumpkin Kits! This card is from the October 2018 Friends of a Feather Kit. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

So, the card was mailed before I realized I hadn't taken a photo of it fully opened. You can see the purple behind the feathers in the above photo. In the next photo, you can see the white inside behind the feathers. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos below.

Stampin' Up! Friends of a Feather Alternative Get Well Card

The products I used for my card today are all retired. Part of my goal for 2026 is to use, at least twice a month, the kits I have. Some of the kits are not even open! If you follow me, you will see the above statement again tomorrow!! Let's take a look see at the Paper Pumpkin kit I used today. I do have an unopened one if you are interested in purchasing it.

The kit is called Friends of a Feather and it was offered in October 2018. This went to an older bachelor man who was ill but I think it could be for a woman as well. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop.
 

 

 

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals Feel Better Card

Good Sunday morning, peeps. What are you up to today? It's my church's annual picnic which should be a lot of fun. Lots of littles running around the park. We have our worship service at the park as well.

My card base is Basic Black card stock and I embossed it with the retired Greenery folder. The layered panel is a piece of Basic White card stock, a piece of Basic Black an a piece of Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the retired Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set. The embellishments are from the Muted Palette Dots (Daffodil Delight). 

The inside of my card is just like the one I created the other day using the retired Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set and a strip of the Mixed Media Florals DSP.

Thank you for stopping by today and may you be blessed.

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure Get Well 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...

As you can see, I flipped the sketch on its side. Let's take a closer look...

I made it into a slimline card because the locomotive and side pieces went beyond an A2 card.

My card base is Basic Gray cardstock that I stamped with a stamp from the Light the Sky Stamp Set. I used VersaMark ink to do that. It measures 8 1/2" x 7", scored and folded at 3 1/2".

My silver foil strips are embossed with the Cane Weave 3D EF. Each one measures 3/4" x 3". The Basic Black strips measure 1/4" x 3". The art panel, which is Smoky Slate cardstock, measures 5" x 3".

For the inside...

I cut a piece of Smoky Slate that measures 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" and stamped the sentiment, from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Leaves Friend 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...

Here it is again in a larger version...

My card base is Blackberry Bliss with a mat of Basic White and a panel of Perennial Leaves DSP. The cut strip is another pattern from that DSP.

The sentiment from the Country Bird House Stamp Set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. It is cut out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I added 5 Adhesive Backed Dragonflies to finish the front. The inside has a message that is from a retired stamp set (wishing you a quick and complete recovery) and a strip of the flowery paper.

I am such a fan of purple but a friend in church is as well. She will be having hip surgery this week so I wanted to get a card off to her as encouragement before she goes in. Her last surgery, a few months ago, did not go well due to a problem with anesthesia. If you're a praying person, could you send up a quick little prayer for Stephanie? I know we both would appreciate it.

Thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Karen K. 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! Mediterranean Blooms for Amy's Inkin' Krew Monthly Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Fun Fold" and we can interpret that any way we want and use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it using the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper along with sentiments from the Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set and Citrus Blooms Dies...

Let's take a closer look and I'll tell you more about it. My fun fold is CASE'd from the one Creative Moments by G created here.

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I also used dies from the Everyday Details set and Deckled Circles set. I also used Peach Pie Cardstock and 2024-2026 In Color DSP for my base and deckled circle.

The base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and the fold portion is 11" x 5 1/4". You score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", 8", then fold accordion style. Gloria makes it quite clear in her video.

Creative Creases Challenge #58 - Anything with a Fun Fold

Good morning, peeps. It's another every other Friday Fun Fold at Creative Creases and here's what I created for the challenge today..

Let's take a closer look at my fun fold, shall we?

My inspiration came from Rachael Tessman. Here's a link to how she did it. I used Balmy Blue and Coastal Cabana cardstock along with components from the April 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit. My sentiments came from the retired Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set. I loved how Rachael's brain worked with the ducks. They are too cute. Thanks, Rachael. Hope you enjoyed your cruise!

Here it is opened...

I hope you have the time to enter our challenge. Just click on the logo or the blue "challenge" and you'll be transported there immediately. Debbie, Rae and I hope to see your entry over at Creative Creases #58.


Thank you for stopping by today and if you have any questions, just drop me an email or ask in a comment.. Have a great weekend, be blessed and be a blessing

Stampin' Up! Country Living Get Well Card

 Good morning, peeps! I'm back with a music card for the Paper Players Challenge PP626. LeAnne's challenge is the theme of "There's a Song in the Air", which incidentally was my mother-in-law's favorite Christmas song.. Here's my card made with the Country Living Stamp Set and the Sheet Music Background Stamp (both retired). It's a makeover of the third one down on this post .

Be sure to visit the challenge site, okay?

I also used Copper Foil and the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder for one of the circles and a piece of retired DSP for the other. The guitar is from the retired Country Living set and is colored with Light and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends. My card base is Soft Suede cardstock.

For the inside, I created a computerized sentiment and mounted it on a die cut label that I found in my stash so I have no idea from where it came. I hate it when I do that...I need to write on the back so I'll know!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge 2305.
