Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park ~ thank you card

 

When you buy stamp sets and then get to that amazing day where you have time to just sit and stamp and make pretty things, do you get even more excited about your stamp sets?  I do!  (If you do too, and you aren't already a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, you should join my team. 😉)

Sorry, I got a little side-tracked there.  I just am more excited about this stamp set every time I use it.  Of course, for this card I'm also using it with the beautiful Regency Park Designer Series Paper, which does kick it up a notch!  

While beautiful, this simple card is really very easy to create and does not require a long list of supplies.  Even better, it can easily be adapted to any color scheme and most stamps!

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park ~ Let's Celebrate handmade card

 

Cardmaking doesn't need to be complicated!  This card, celebrating all the wonderful things you do, takes only a few minutes to create!  Just pair together a couple of the sentiment stamps from Sentimental Park and stamp them...you can even put them on one Clear Block to ink up and stamp at the same time!

After stamping your sentiment, die cut around it with a die from the coordinating Sentimental Park Dies.  Then, use the background die to to die cut a background for a coordinating color.

Once you attach all the layers to your card base, finish up by adding a few Classic Matte Dots and your card is complete!

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park with Something Fancy

 

What is it about a single flower that is so special?  I'm not sure what it is, but sometimes one flower can make more of a statement than a bunch!  This sweet flower image is from Sentimental Park stamps and stamped in Parakeet Party and Polished Pink. 

To prevent weird warps in the cardstock, I used Stampin' Dimensionals behind the corners of the sentiment piece so it would sit nicely over the twine.  Then, I added one dimensional behind the leaf on the right and stacked two behind the left leaf and two more behind the flower.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park ~ thinking of you

 

This week the Stamp of the Week here on my blog is Stampin' Up!'s Sentimental Park.  This pretty stamp set includes fun floral images along with a sentiment for almost any occasion.

The first card I'm sharing with you is one I cased from the 2023 January - April Mini Catalog.  You will find the original card on p. 30.

I made a few changes, but kept the basic layout of the original card and the gorgeous color scheme.  I did replace one bit of Designer Series Paper with Shaded Spruce Cardstock.  I also changed the embellishments to the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds, which will be retiring very soon.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Stampin' Up! Best Day ~ Sketch Saturday

 Today's card was created for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #722.    Today (March 24, 2023) is the first day of this challenge, you have two weeks to play along.  There's an optional challenge of using buttons on your card this time.  I didn't have any buttons to use.  I would love to see what you create, and if you add buttons to your project, so please share over on the Sketch Saturday Blog. 

At first I wasn't completely sure about this color combination.  My original plan for my cake color was Blushing Bride, but I don't have Stampin' Blends in that color, so ended up going with Petal Pink for my card, DSP & cake color.  I think it worked, what do you think? 

It's hard to see in the photo, but I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the candles to give it some fun little sparkle.  I used a tiny piece of a sticky note to cover up the ends of the candles when I stamped the cake, so they didn't show up on my stamped image.  Then, I closely trimmed around the cake and finished it by going around the edges with the edge of the brush tip on my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

Stampin' Up! Best Day ~ DIY Birthday Card

Yesterday, I finally completely colored the cake image from my Best Day stamps, today I've colored the 'cupcat'  haha!  This is such a fun image and I had a lot of fun picking out a color scheme for this one.  After perusing my Designer Series Paper stash, I decided to use this great piece from Flowers & More DSP.   From there, I decided I wanted my cat to be Calypso Coral and I chose Gray Granite as my neutral so I could use my Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. 

Do you ever stress out about the perfect placement of embellishments?  I definitely overthink it sometimes!  This time, I just sprinkled Sparkle & Shine Sequins over my card, then glued them where they fell!  I've done enough thinking this week...I wanted the easy button for this card. lol

Stampin' Up! Best Day ~ Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

 

Hey Stampers & Friends!  Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  I'm excited to be part of this fun and creative group sharing stamping ideas with you today!

Our color challenge and photo inspiration for this month can be found in the photo below.  I LOVE all these gorgeous bright colors (and TULIPS).  This time though, I decided to just use three of the colors.  For some reason this week, I'm feeling like less is more.

If you've been following along on my blog all week, you know that while I was excited about coloring the images in this Best Day stamp set, I haven't been doing a lot of coloring.  Until today!  I finally fully colored one of them, and I love it!  What do you think?  

I heat embossed the birthday banner with Black Embossing Powder on Polished Pink Cardstock, then used my Paper Snips to tightly (and carefully) cut around it.  Then, it was easy to add to my card with a few Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope my card has inspired you and/or brightened your day!  You are currently visiting Judith Patterson.  Please see the list below and hop through all of the people on the list so you don't miss any projects!

Happy Stamping!
