Simple Stamping-Single Layer Card-Let's Get Hopping Round 25


Hey Y'all!
It's great to be back with the Let's Get Hopping crew for another challenge...and boy, what a challenge it was!  You may have hopped over from Mikaela Titheredge's blog...isn't she amazing!  Or you may be starting here with me, either way, you will want to be sure to hop all the way through to see the fun projects we have in store for you.
Simple Stamping-a single layer card....a SIP card (stamps, ink and paper.) If you have been papercrafting for over a minute, you know how hard that is!  But it was so much fun to get back to basics, and I am excited to share this set of cards I made with the Beauty Abounds stamp set.
I kept the same layout and used the same stamps for each card, and just changed the accent color.  The floral image and sentiments were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, and Melon Mambo was the accent color in this first card.  I stamped off the background images to get a lighter color and make the butterfly "pop" as the focal image.  

This card uses Pineapple Punch ink, one of the 2018-2020 In-Colors
These next two cards use 2019-2021 In-Colors, this one is stamped with Rococo Rose.....
and this one with Purple Posy, which has not been available for several months.  I am so happy to announce it is now available to purchase!



This stamp set has some beautiful images and great sentiments.  I hope you enjoyed my cards, and that they inspired you to "get back to basics" and just enjoy the beauty of stamps, ink, and paper!  Now hop on over and see what my friend, the very talented Tracy Bish, has in store!

Get Well Card with Harvest Hellos Bundle

Hey Y’all!
I wanted to share this Get Well Card I made with the Harvest Hellos Bundle.
There is an Apple stamp and Pumpkin stamp, and the punch gives you both.  I added a scrap strip of DSP and Burlap Ribbon. I pulled it apart to make it a thinner strip, then used 2 of the strands to tie my bow.

I love the apple paired with the Buffalo Check background stamp...my favorite! I stamped it in Real Red ink with the Stamparatus so I could stamp it several times to get good coverage.  I also stamped the envelope flap...be sure to mask the rest of the envelope with a sticky note.  I colored the apples with the Stampin Blends. For the Apple slice, I used the Ivory Blend, then went over it with the color lifter. Memento Tuxedo Black ink is the ink you need to use when coloring a stamped image with Stampin’ Blends.
My card base is 8-1/2 x 5-1-2 scored at 4-1/4. Second layer is 4 x 5-1/4. I highly recommend using Thick Whisper White if you are using a white card base.

Pirate Treasure Chest with Birds of a Feather

Hey Y'all!, 
Ahem, I mean, Ahoy Matey's!!
I have the neatest project for you today!  Isn't this Pirate Treasure Chest so stinkin' cute!
It is a CASE from the 2019 Holiday Catalog, you can find it on page 50.
Now one of the really neat things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is they have a resource page that tells how they made the sample projects in the catalogs.  In the sample in the catalog, they used Crumb Cake cardstock, and the embellishments are different than mine.  


Here is a video to show you how to put it together.

Box Measurements:
     Soft Suede Cardstock 10-1/2 x 8 
           Landscape side-score at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10
           Portrait side-score at 2 and 6
           Remove pieces and cut sides as shown in template:
