Stampin’ Up! Beside Me for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Father’s Day is coming up so I pulled out the sweet Stampin’ Up! Beside Me cling stamp set for a Father’s Day card. This is perfect with the new Lets Go Fishing designer series paper! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I adhered the fish panel from the Lets Go Fishing designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I stamped the fishing family and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla.

I cut the image out with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangles die and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Crumb Cake on the deck, light Blueberry Bushel on the pants, light Pool Party, Wild Wheat and Petal Pink on the shirts, light Pecan Pie on the hair and light Petal Pink on the skin. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat with liquid glue and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Copper Clay and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut two banners from Let’s Go Fishing DSP using the All That dies and adhered them to the back of the label before adhering it to the card. I finished with three Rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla. I trimmed the side with a strip of Lets Go Fishing DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Going fishing with your Dad is a such a wonderful childhood memory – especially when the fish are biting!

Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “For the Men/Boys” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set to make a masculine birthday card for our hop!

The Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set is one of the returning favorite stamp sets in the new catalog. I combined it with the pretty Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper and some of the new 2023-2025 In Colors for a rugged outdoors look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pebbled Path card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on the top of another Fresh As A Daisy DSP panel. I stamped the trees from the Grassy Grove stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on the side of the panel and adhered the panel to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the wolf from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Gray Granite panel and stamped the plant in Wild Wheat. I cut the image out with the second smallest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to a Wild Wheat mat with liquid glue. I adhered a short length of Wild Wheat ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the wolf panel over it using dimensionals. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the plant next to the sentiment in Wild Wheat and adhered the panel to a Wild Wheat mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

If you look closely at the Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper, you will see that on the back of the pretty florals is a gentle brush stroke texture pattern that is great for subtle backgrounds and masculine cards.

Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride bundle is a great motorcycle set and I used it to make a masculine birthday card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week and I decided to use the winding road panel from the Ready to Ride specialty designer series paper to pick up the outdoors theme:

I adhered a panel of Ready to Ride specialty designer series paper to the front of a Soft Suede card base with liquid glue. I cut the map and winding road panels from the DSP and adhered them on top. I adhered a strip of the checkered flag DSP across the bottom with liquid glue.

I looked through the die cuts from the He’s the Man designer series pack and selected some to place around the card front and adhered them with glue dots. I fussy cut a helmet from the Ready to Ride DSP pack and adhered it with dimensionals. I colored a compass from the enamel sticker icons with the light Soft Sued Stampin’ Blend marker and adhered to the card front.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride dies to make a motorcycle from Basic Gray, Basic Black, Silver Foil and Crushed Curry. I adhered the motorcycle to the card with dimensionals. See my previous Legendary Ride post for instructions on assembling the motorcycle.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride stamp set in memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I trimmed the bottom with a die cut from the He’s the Man DSP and strip of Ready to Ride DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This card was fun – I felt like a little girl decorating everything with stickers! And the awesome motorcycle from the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride bundle is the best ‘sticker’ of all!

Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Oktoberfest Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Oktoberfest card that I made during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. Oktoberfest is a great excuse to gather with friends over beer and German food (which I love!) in the Fall and the Brewed For You bundle is perfect for this occasion! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

Adhere a panel of Boughs of Holly designer series paper to a Soft Suede mat with liquid glue. Adhere a strip of Cajun Craze Rustic Harvest DSP across the panel with liquid glue. Cut a panel of Layering Designs vellum with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the vellum to the panel with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the panel to the front of a Cajun Craze Card base with dimensionals.

Stamp two of the mugs from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You photopolymer stamp set in Gray Granite on Basic White. Use the mug fill stamp to add Crushed Curry to the middle of each mug. Stamp the mug foam stamp twice in Gray Granite on Basic White. Cut out the mugs and foam with the coordinating dies. Use dots of liquid glue to adhere the foam to the back of the mugs. Adhere the top mug to the card with glue dots. Adhere the second mug to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Gray Granite card stock. Cut it out with the short thick banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the label to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a small rustic dot.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the large jug next to the sentiment in Gray Granite ink. Trim the bottom of the panel with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You bundle is perfect for making masculine cards, but I think that Oktoberfest can also be enjoyed by us gals! But if there’s a man in your life with a Fall birthday, this is the perfect bundle to pull out for a birthday card!

Stampin’ Up! Brewed for You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I have a masculine birthday card made with the fun Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You bundle. This is such a fun set and what could be more perfect for a hot summer afternoon than a cold brew. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I adhered a strip of Cajun Craze striped He’s the Man designer series paper to a checkered Sahara Sand Panel of the DSP. I adhered a strip of Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP to the panel before adhering it to a Basic Black mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Sahara Sand card base. I cut a vellum panel with the largest circle from the layering circles dies and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the glass, mug and jug from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the glass insert in So Saffron and the mug insert in Crushed Curry and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I colored the jug with the SU004 Stampin’ Blend from the Naturals blends series and cut it out with the coordinating dies. I covered the die cuts with Versamark ink directly from the pad and sprinkled them with clear embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool until it was shiny.

I adhered the jug to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the glass and mug with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a strip of Basic White. I trimmed the ends with the Banners Pick A Punch and adhered it with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card front with three black dots.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the new Very Best Occasions cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bubbles from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You stamp set in So Saffron several times on the side. I cut the hops die from Parakeet Party and the leaves from Pear Pizzazz and adhered them over the fizz. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of He’s The Man DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love craft breweries and the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You bundle is perfect for beer themed cards. It’s great to have coordinating dies and I love the effect of the clear embossing powder over die cuts – it makes them look like glass! And if you don’t care for beer, fill your mug with a soda or lemonade instead and you’ll still quenched this hot summer!

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That Father’s Day Card

Good Morning! Tomorrow is Father’s Day so I had to make a Father’s Day card with one of the best bundles for masculine cards in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That bundle. And of course I paired it with the fun He’s the Man designer series paper, and used the BBQ theme for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a Cajun Craze panel with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered a panel of striped Cajun Craze He’s the Man designer series paper to the front. I cut two argyle shapes from Early Espresso using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That bundle and adhered them to the corners of the panel. I popped the He’s the Man DSP BBQ sentiment die cut and adhered it to an Early Espresso plaid panel and popped it on the die cut panel with dimensionals.

I adhered the fun Early Espresso BBQ fixins DSP to the front and inside sections of the Crushed Curry card base with liquid glue. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Deckled Rectangle die and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That cling stamp set on the panel in Early Espresso ink. I stamped the No. 1 stamp in Crushed Curry and adhered the panel to the inside of the card, centering it on the DSP panel.

I adhered the layered Cajun Craze panel to the short front flap with Tear and Tape, centering it on the Basic White inside Deckled Rectangle. I adhered the arrow from the He’s the Man DSP to the front with dimensionals and glue dots so that it points to the sentiment. I finished the arrow with rustic dots.

I finished the inside by adhering the die cut grill and stars from the He’s the Man DSP to the inside of the card.

The BBQ theme paper and die cuts from the He’s the Man designer series paper are perfect for Father’s Day and summer birthdays! And they go perfect with the stamps and dies from the Stampin’ Up! He’s All That bundle. Although for Father’s Day, I’ll probably be the one doing the grilling.

Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I made a masculine thank you card with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week and we are making cards with critters! How fun!

And I’m entering my card in the challenge at the Card Concept #177. The theme for this Challenge is ‘Make it Masculine’ and I was inspired by the plaids and outdoor themes in the inspiration picture to make a clean and layered card. Here is the inspiration picture:

I adhered a panel of plaid He’s the Man designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat and wrapped a length of natural ribbon around it, securing it in the back with tape. I adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I used a blending brush to blend Soft Suede ink on a wood grained panel of Heart and Home DSP and I love how it came out! I adhered that panel to an Early Espresso mat and then popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the wolf from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Early Espresso on Basic White and colored the wolf with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends and the rock in Gray Granite. I stamped the image again on masking paper and fussy cut it out. I covered the wolf with the mask and stamped the ground in Old Olive multiple times with the ground stamp.

I cut a circle in another sheet of masking paper and used it to make a Mango Melody sun behind the wolf with a blending brush. I covered the sun with the circle mask and blended the sky background in Balmy Blue ink with a blending brush. I removed all the masks and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I adhered the wolf panel to an Early Espresso mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Early Espresso on a Basic White panel. I stamped the plant in Old Olive and colored the tops with light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. I blended Soft Suede on another woodgrain panel of Heart and Home DSP and adhered it to the side of the panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set is another in a long line of gorgeous Stampin’ Up! natural wildlife stamp sets, and it’s another winner! These are perfect for masculine cards for any occasion and I have always enjoyed making natural backgrounds using different coloring techniques.

Stampin’ Up! Vintage Tools Birthday Card

Good Morning! I love the new Stampin’ Up! Vintage Tools cling stamp set – it reminds me of the old tools that my Husband’s father left to him! It’s a great set for making masculine cards, especially for the handyman or wannabe handyman. I paired it with a rustic print in the pretty new Texture Chic specialty designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Texture Chic specialty designer series paper to a Basic Black mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the tools from the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Tools stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on a Sahara Sand panel. I colored the tools with the light Gray Granite and light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut the tools out with my paper snips. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on another Sahara Sand panel.

I adhered the fussy cut tools to the panel with liquid glue and stamped some vintage tacks over the screwdriver in Memento Tuxedo Black. I finished the panel with three rustic dots and adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat before adhering it to the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Tools stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel. I stamped some more tacks in Memento Tuxedo Black and stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Evening Evergreen. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Texture Chic specialty DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I could also stamp the tools directly on the cardstock and color it, but it gives the card front a little dimension and texture. The panel of Texture Chic DSP reminded me antique boards, so I thought it would go well with the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Tools stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You cling stamp set is a sentiments only stamp set that has a pretty set of fonts and covers lots of special occasions. I need a graduation card for a friend’s son who enjoys the outdoors, both winter and summer, so I pulled out the On The Horizon 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Horizon dies to create an outdoors scene. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I embossed a Soft Succulent panel with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Soft Succulent card base. I wanted to use the mountains in the Horizon dies, so I cut a 1″ strip of purple New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP for the background mountain and a 1″ strip of whitish DSP for the snow detail. I wanted to use the curvy ground die in green, so I cut a 1″ strip of green DSP for the ground. Once I had my strips for these elements, I used them to select the background panel that coordinated with the strips I chose.

I cut the background panel with the third largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I cut the purple strip with the mountain background die and the whitish strip with the detailed mountain die. I adhered the whitish die cut to the purple die cut so that it looks like a snowy mountain. I cut the green strip with the curvy ground die and adhered the layered mountain and ground die cuts to the background. I stamped the birds from the On the Horizon cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and adhered the die cut panel to a Basic Gray mat.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On Celebrating You stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Smoky Slate and cut it out with the small long skinny stitched rectangle die. I cut a Basic Gray panel with the same die and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I looped Evening Evergreen Baker’s twine three times around the scene and tied a bow. I adhered the labels to the scene with dimensionals and popped the scene on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the label with two rustic metallic dots.

For the inside, I cut a 3/4″ strip of the background DSP and cut a bit more of the mountain, ground and snow die cuts using the leftovers from the card front. I adhered them to the background strip and stamped some birds over the mountain. I trimmed the excess with my paper snips and adhered the strip to a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

It was so fun to play with the On The Horizon bundle for mountain card and it goes perfectly with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrating You stamp set for graduating Senior!

Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “For the Men/Boys” so I made a Father’s Day card with the Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan bundle and the fun Hey Sports Fan designer series paper. The Sports Event dies in the bundle can be used to cut out some of the images in the DSP, so can have fun mixing and matching the images in the stamp set and the DSP. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the balls and bats Hey Sports Fan designer series paper to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with liquid glue. I adhered a strip of the baseball field DSP across the card front.

I cut a panel of Night of Navy wood grain Hey Sports Fan DSP with the large ticket die from the Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan bundle and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I cut a Poppy Parade strip of the DSP with the small ticket strip die and adhered it with glue dots.

I stamped the double ticket stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan photopolymer stamp set with in Poppy Parade on Vary Vanilla. I stamped the Most Valuable Dad sentiment in Night of Navy and the Happy Father’s Day sentiment in Evening Evergreen.

I cut out the stamped image with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I finished with resin stars and a Poppy Parade striped baker’s twine bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan stamp set in Poppy Parade on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped Night of Navy stars and trimmed the bottom with a strip of baseball field DSP. I cut a Best Day Ever ticket from the Hey Sports Fan DSP and adhered it to the bottom of the panel and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Your Biggest Fan bundle is perfect for masculine cards for the sports enthusiast, especially the baseball fan. And watching a Sunday afternoon baseball game is a perfect way to spend Father’s Day!
