Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew Birthday Card

Good morning stamping friends. My card today still used the retired Painterly Pears DSP but the sentiments are new in the Online Store for March. The design came from the Pink Barn Stampers Mystery Challenge. Here's my card...

and here is what I had to follow for measurements...

My card base is Basic White and I embossed it with the retired All in a Row EF. As I mentioned, the DSP is the retired Painterly Pears and my mat is Petal Pink. The ink for the sentiment is Mossy Meadow. It's a 1" x 1" piece of Basic White. Both the front and the inside sentiment are from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set. The flowers on the inside are stamped in Petal Pink from the Painterly Pears set.

I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front and a 1/2" strip of DSP to the inside.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend.

Stampin' Up! Pocketful of Cheer Thinking of You Card

Good mid-week morning, peeps! Can you believe it's the last Wednesday in September? I think I'm getting older only because time is flying by faster than the leaves fall! 

My card today is an alternative to the March 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. I bought 2 kits and 4 refills thinking I would be using it to teach a class. Oi! that didn't happen! So, when Dani Gurrola did her monthly Mystery Stamping video I decided to put my kit to use. Her husband also does a video every other Friday night using Paper Pumpkin kits so that has been incentive for me! Here is what I created... 

 

 

and here is what she gave her followers for the mystery... 

  

Here is the inside of my card...

My color is Blackberry Bliss, the DSP is from Craft Consortium - Shel Rummel's Bloom Beautiful Patterned Paper (2015), Painted Texture 3D EF, Through It Together Stamp Set, and 3 retired Faceted Dots.

Stampin' Up! Treasured Kindness Thank You Card

Welcome to Wednesday, peeps! My card today is a really easy one. I played along with Sharon Armstrong's mystery clues from March 6, 2023, and this is what happened!

I am a co-host at our Thursday card group tomorrow and will be doing this mystery card with them. They are not fans of mystery stamping BUT if they look at my blog, this will help them tremendously!

Here's the inside...

I used the Treasured Kindness Stamp Set for the inside and front sentiment, stamped in Mint Macaron Ink.

A few thing that I used are retiring...boo hoo...so if you're interested, get it while it's still available!!

Stampin' Up! Wacky Wednesday Cards

It's Wacky Wednesday because I made kits for our Thursday card group. What's wacky about that you ask? Well, I gave them all the same materials but there was no card as a sample and basically no instructions except to say "it's a mystery card. Just put it together however you want and don't look at what anyone else is doing!" 

I had done mystery cards with them a long time ago but I gave them measurements for whatever type of cardstock and DSP they wanted to use and they picked their own colors and I gave them step-by-step instructions on what to do next with what they brought.

Want to see all our cards? I'll show them to you in a minute. Let me tell you what was in the kit....a piece of cardstock for the base, a panel and strip of retired Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper along with two triangles cut with the retired Stitched Triangles Dies, Pale Papaya ribbon, scraps of Very Vanilla and a whole doily. The only stamp sets available were the Alphabest Stamp Set and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set plus the Best Label Punch. Okay, now I'll show you my card, Barb's, Deb's and Sue M.'s in that order.

Are they not cool or what? The gals did a wonderful job of creating AND we all had fun!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Wonderful World Birthday Card

 

Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop. You're in for a treat if you have never visited before. It's a weekly challenge and this week we have a sketch challenge. Links to the team hoppers are at the bottom of this post, along with measurements and product used.

I went rogue with Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Stamping on July 11, 2022. My card base is Rich Razzleberry with an embossed 3D Fern Basic White panel. Measurements are listed at the end of my post.

I cut Rich Razzleberry mats for the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (free with an order of $100 during Sale-A-Bration July through August while supplies last).

The Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set is stamped and edged with Rich Razzleberry ink. Fussy cutting the sentiment and embellishment is what took the longest and I'm not the best at that. The sentiment is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals and everything else is with liquid glue.

I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies to complete the front. I'm entering my card in the Seize the Birthday #242 Challenge with the option of Metallic.

For the inside, I have a mat for the sentiment panel. The sentiment is also from Peaceful Moments. I adhered a strip of Wonderful World DSP at the bottom and the card was fini!

Clicking on the "next" button will take you to TOK (the other Karen!). Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. Thank you for stopping by and hopping with us! I hope you'll be back tomorrow for my fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Party Puffins Happy Birthday

 TGIF, peeps! Y'all know I love Mystery Challenges, right? Uh huh, I sure do! My card today was created from Sharon Armstrong's challenge of August 23.

This is my fourth card for the mystery stamping. I haven't posted the other three yet! This one was inspired by Inspired By!

Measurements and instructions:

Thick Basic White Cardstock for Base: 4 1/4" x 7 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2". This creates the top flap.

DSP from Pattern Party 4" x 1 1/2"; adhere to top flap

Basic White Cardstock: 2 3/4" x 4" (center art panel) stamped with sentiments and fish

Adhere to Pumpkin Pie Cardstock 3" x 4 1/4"

Using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere penguin punched with Penguin Builder Punch using the penguin in the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper

Basic White: 4 1/4" x 2 1/4" for bottom flap (do not glue to card base!)

DSP for bottom flap: 4" x 2", adhere to BW above (do not glue to card base!!)

Adhere top portion of art piece to top flap and bottom portion to the bottom flap you just created

I warned you about the bottom flap because a number of participants glued it to the base! It only gets glued to the bottom of the center panel. If you don't participate in mystery stamping then you might not see how this could possibly happen.

For the inside, make sure the stamps stay within the confines of that center panel!

I think the Party Puffins Stamp Set is so cute! I did not get the Penguin Place Stamp Set and I'm beginning to wonder why!!

I'm entering my card at the Three Muses: Something Fishy,  Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August 2021 and As You Like It Favourite Wild Animal & Why. My favorite wild animal is the penguin because I love the way they waddle and they are just so cute in their tuxedos. 

Did you know penguins are flightless birds adapted to living at sea? Some species spend 75% of their time in the water. Did you know Nancy at Seize the Birthday Challenge #221 picked the theme "By the Sea"?  I did!

Thank you for stopping by today and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll get back to you quicker than a penguin can waddle.

Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch Birthday Card

Good Monday Morning Mystery is on the menu today! My card today was created by watching Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Stamping Monday April 26, 2021. This was not an easy one for me because my brain couldn't wrap itself around putting one of the DSP pieces vertically instead of horizontally. My mantra was "this just doesn't fit, I don't understand." Finally the light bulb went on...literally and figuratively...I think my Ott light has a short! My brain might too!! So, here is my final product...

I was really pleased with the mystery design. I used the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, available tomorrow, and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. There are also dies that go with the stamp set. You'll be able to buy them as a bundle and save 10%. I should have my catalog tab updated tomorrow so you can access the digital version. There are dies that cut out pansies from the DSP too! I love that!! Guess what they're called? Pansy Dies...lol. I used the smaller one for my pansy embellishment. The other embellishments are the new Genial Gems in the new Pale Papaya In Color 2021-2023. Measurements are listed below.

Here's how I did the inside, which started out as a hot mess because of my old Calypso Coral ink pad. I had ink everywhere ... on me, on the cardstock, on the DSP but fortunately not on the card front! Time for a new pad!! Rather than scrap the card, I just added another layer of cardstock, DSP and used Cajun Craze ink. I added another pansy embellishment. A fellow stamper will receive this as they totally get ink smudges!

You can find Sharon's mystery stamping on her FB page and You Tube. It really is a lot of fun...give it a try!

There are a lot of snippets on this card so I am entering it at Pixie's Crafty Workshop #402 just for fun. It seems like forever that I've been to the Playground. Hi Di! 

I'm also playing at Dare 2B Artsy May Flowers Challenge and Pammie's Inky Pinkies 2118 ATG Challenge.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them if you leave your email address or email me. Thanks for stopping by today.

Measurements in inches:

Basic White Cardstock: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4; 2 1/4 x 2 1/4; 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 (sentiment); scrap for image if you will be stamping rather than die cutting

Stampin' Up! Garden Wishes Mystery Card

 Good morning, stamping friends. My card today is one I made the morning of January 18, 2021. The design is based on mystery card directions by Terri Walker.

These my ingredients:

Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder

Garden Wishes Stamp Set

Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set

Dragonflies Punch

Dandy Garden 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Playing with Patterns Resin Dots (Crushed Curry)

Daffodil Delight Cardstock

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

I'm not sure how often I will be making a card or blogging yet, so I hope you will continue to stick with me. This is the fourth week since my son's passing and it is difficult to get back into what used to be my daily morning routine. I'm leaning toward one mystery Monday card each week and a weekly Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop card, perhaps a monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew...sound good to you? Thank you for your understanding as well as past and present comments.

Stampin' Up! Poinsettia Petals Birthday Card

Are you flying your flag at half staff today? In remembrance of those who lost their lives in Pearl Harbor 79 years ago, we are. If you are interested you can watch the streaming of events here.

My card today is for a December birthday. I used the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set to create it.

It's another Monday Mystery card and we're on #13! My card base is Just Jade cardstock and measurements are provided below. My snippets are from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series 6 x 6 pack. I used Poppy Parade ink and Blends, along with Shaded Spruce ink, Layering Circles Dies, an unknown circle die for the silver foil mat. Because I used snippets of DSP, I'm playing with folks from across the pond: Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December 2020 and Pixie's Crafty Workshop Snippets Playground Challenge #392; yes, Di, I'd love to win your chevron die prize!

For the inside...

The flower is from Poinsettia Petals and the sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays.

This is a fun fold card and my inspiration came from Sharon Armstrong.

Here is Meg's creation using the same instructions for putting the supplies together

Basic Black card base.  World of Good Specialty DSP. The images were stamped and die cut with the Beautiful World Bundle, except for the sentiment which was cut with the Tags & Labels dies. The envelope was decorated with the same DSP and the compass was stamped in the lower left corner on the front of the envelope.

Edie's creation...

Basic Black for card base and Sweet Sorbet DSP (retired).  Prized Peony image double stamped with Pool Party ink and cut out with Peony Dies. Adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere to Stitched Rectangles. Sentiments from Life is Beautiful stamp set.  Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels embellished the card front.

I'm also entering my card at Pammie's Inky Pinkies ATG Challenge #2949 and Crafting Happiness Challenge #74 - Mostly Red (although the green is giving it a little competition!).

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

Stampin' Up! Many Mates Beautiful Autumn Birthday Card

Welcome back for another Mystery Monday card where I give some of our card group clues throughout the week with a list of card cuts and supplies on the first day. They get to pick the cardstock and designer series paper that they want, along with dies or punches of their choice; same for sentiments and images.  If you have been following, you have noticed there have been no two cards alike! We are all surprised to see how our cards turn out. Here's mine for today using the Many Mates Stamp Set and Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set.

My card base is Cinnamon Cider cardstock with a mat of the same color. I embossed the mat with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. To that, I adhered a piece of Just Jade DSP and Cinnamon Cider wood grain DSP from the 6 x 6 pack of 2020-2022 In Color DSP. I wrapped a piece of ribbon, from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack, around the mat and tied a bow. Then I adhered the panel to the card base with liquid glue.

I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out the "It's Your Day" from the Many Mates Stamp Set. Then I punched a Just Jade label and a Cinnamon Cider label, cut them in half and layered them behind the sentiment. I attached the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Three 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots finished the card front.

I'm entering my card in The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge by Ann Marie PP519. I went straight down the right side.

For the inside...

I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Autumn and the image from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set. The corners are punched with the retired Trio Punch.

Here is sleuth Edie's card...isn't it gorgeous?

Colors are Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. Here are her ingredients: "DSP is 6X6 Classic Christmas, Sahara Sand, the ribbon is from the Christmas twin pack. It was Real Red, but I used my Cherry Cobbler dark Stampin Blend to color it. The sentiment I used is from the “For Unto Us” stamp set. Ornament embellishments are from the “Christmas Gleaming” stamp set and matching punches. Inside and envelope stamps are also from Christmas Gleaming.  Stitched Nested Labels dies.

Here's Meg's

Night of Navy card base and BrightlyGleaming Speciality DSP. Copper Trim Ribbon.  and I just spread out the mesh Ornate Frames Dies, Itty Bitty Greetings sentiment. 

Image from Tasteful Textures, sentiment from Part of My Story. 

Thanks again to Beth McCullough for her inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed looking at our cards.
