Hi Stampers. Today, I have yet another Artistically Inked card. (I just love this Expressions in Ink Suite!) I’ve been using it a lot lately. You can see some prior cards I’ve done HERE, HERE and HERE.
I hope you had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. We barbecued with some local family on Sunday for my husbands Aunts 70th birthday. Today we are staying home and barbecuing again. I wish it was with our son – it’s his 30th birthday today – but alas he’s out of state and we just got to talk with him by phone. Thank you, Covid!
My Artistically Inked card started with a Balmy Blue card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4. Using the Blending Brushes, I added Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party ink. Next, I stamped the flowers, from the Artistically Inked stamp set onto Basic White CS in Daffodil Delight and Polished Pink ink.
Stampin’ Tip: To get the two different colors for the pink flowers, the large flower is stamped full strength (ink pad to cardstock), the smaller flower is second generation (ink pad to cardstock and to cardstock again without re-inking).
Using the Artistic Dies, I die cut the stamped flowers and the leaves from the Expressions in Ink DSP. The flowers and leaves were then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Polished Pink ink was used to stamp the word “thanks”, from the Artistically Inked stamp set, onto Basic White CS. This sentiment was then die cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies. The sentiment was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few 2021-2023 In Color Jewels added to the center of the large flower and to the label add a little sparkle.
Inside the Artistically Inked Thanks card is a layer of Basic White CS. Before adhering this layer to the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves (from the Artistically Inked stamp set) in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive ink across the bottom. What do you think of this gorgeous new Expressions in Ink Suite, is it on your wish list?

Hi Stampers. I feel like I’ve been waiting a long time for Stampin’ Up! to get on board with the alcohol ink movement. When I first saw the front of our new catalog, I knew the Expressions In Ink Suite would be my new favorite!
Stampin’ Up! offers several “suites” in the 2021-2022 Catalog, like the Expressions In Ink Suite shown above. A suite consists of a bundle (stamp set and dies or punch), coordinating DSP and coordinating ribbons and/or embellishments. It is a “suite” of products that all coordinate together giving you all you need to create many projects. The suite has it’s own item number that includes all the items, making ordering easy.
My Expressions In Ink card starts with a Polished Pink card base. Polished Pink is one of the new 2021-2023 In-Colors. Next, I cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Expressions In Ink DSP. Before adhering it to the card front, I wrapped Polished Pink ribbon around vertically and horizontally. The ribbon is adhered to the DSP with glue dots on the back.
Using my handy dandy bow maker tool (buy yours here), I made this perfect little bow. The bow is then adhered to the card front using glue dots.
The sentiment “thanks” is stamped in Polished Pink ink onto Basic White CS. It was die cut out using the Tailor Made Tags dies. These dies come with a die that makes the circle that goes around the hole in the tag. I die cut the circle out of Polished Pink CS and adhered it to the tag. The tag was then adhered to the card using Stampin’ Seal.
Inside the card there is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS with a 1/2″ strip of DSP adhered across the bottom. I can’t even tell you how easy this card was to put together! So simple, yet so pretty!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Great Family Occasions.” While my Pansy Patch sliding lock card is a thank you card (I completely goofed with the theme this month), with a quick change of sentiment it could be a beautiful Mother’s Day card. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Have you seen the new 2021-2023 In Colors? They are YUMMY!! Which is your favorite?
My Pansy Patch sliding lock 1/4″ and 8-1/2″. The new Designer Series Paper is called Pansy Patch and will be available in the new Annual Catalog.
You will notice that the right side of the card looks like a normal card, but then there is a 2″ flap on the right side. This flap has a bit of an angle because I measured over 1″ on the top and cut down to the outside corner.
The stamp set used is called Pansy Patch. It is a triple stamping technique, photopolymer stamp. This made stamping the flower easy – I just stamped the base in Highland Heather ink, the detail in Gorgeous Grape ink and the center in Daffodil Delight ink.
I used the masking technique on the pansy, so that the leaf (inked in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen ink) appears to be coming from behind the flower.
For the lock mechanism, I used the soon to retire Classic Label punch to create the track. The retired Word Window punch would work good for this, too. Going forward, I will have to look for a die to do this with…
The part that slides back and forth was made using the Double Oval Punch. I punched two of the scalloped oval punch in Evening Evergreen CS and one regular oval in Basic White CS.
One scalloped oval is on the inside of the card and one is on the outside of the card.
A small rectangle, cut from the Foam Adhesive Sheets, to fit into the track is in between them. You can use Stampin’ Dimensionals, but they are more of a round shape, so the ovals may twist a little. Will you be giving my Pansy Patch sliding lock card a try?
These 2″ x 5-1/2″ bookmarks were made for my customers, I am mailing them with the new Annual Catalog. Using the Delightful Tag Topper I punched on the top and put a 6″ piece of ribbon through the hole.
I stamped a sample of each of the new inks (using a stamp from the Dressed To Impress stamp set) and used the Dragonflies Punch to punch out a sample of each of the new cardstocks. (Of course, I used adhesive sheet on the backside before punching making them clean and simple to adhere). Note: I haven’t ordered it yet, but there is new ribbon (very similar in style to the one I used) in each of the five new colors! So fun!

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on May 12th when our theme is “2021-2023 New In Colors” when our Design Team creates a project with the new family of In Colors for any occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.
Hi Stampers. As promised, here is the Whale of a Time coordinating card that goes with yesterday’s post. Yesterday’s card was landscaped and today’s is portrait orientation.
Both cards use all the same supplies, but give a slightly different look.
This Whale of a Time card starts with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Just Jade card base. I used the Delightful Tag Topper to punch a tag topper at either end and cut off the flaps to the left and right of the tag part. On one side I scored right at the edge of the tag and measured across 4-1/4″ and scored across the card. The two sides are tied together with a piece of Whisper White seam binding ribbon.
The front of the Whale of A Time card is decorated with a layer of Pretty Peacock CS followed by a layer of the Whale of a Time DSP 1/4″ smaller on both sides. I used the Whale punch to punch out the Whale from the Whale of a Time DSP and then cut a second out of scrap cardstock. Using liquid glue, I adhered the two whales together. This gave the DSP whale more stability and allowed me to mount him to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and not worry about the paper bending.
Inside the card I used the Whale Done stamp set to do all my stamping onto a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. The sentiment is stamped in the center using Pretty Peacock ink. In the lower right corner the coral is stamped in Calypso Coral ink and the seaweed is stamped in Old Olive ink. A few mini seahorses stamped in Just Jade can also be seen with the card closed

Hi Stampers. I have shown a few tag topper closure cards in the last month or so. Those cards have all be portrait orientation, this time it’s a landscape orientation and uses the Whale Done bundle.
This Whale Done card starts with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ Just Jade card base. I used the Delightful Tag Topper to punch a tag topper at either end and cut off the flaps to the left and right of the tag part. On one side I scored right at the edge of the tag and measured across 5-1/2″ and scored across the card. The two sides are tied together with a piece of Whisper White seam binding ribbon.
The front of the Whale Done card is decorated with a layer of Pretty Peacock CS followed by a layer of the Whale of a Time DSP 1/4″ smaller on both sides. I used the Whale punch to punch out the Whale from the Whale of a Time DSP and then cut a second out of scrap cardstock. Using liquid glue, I adhered the two whales together. This gave the DSP whale more stability and allowed me to mount him to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and not worry about the paper bending.
Inside the card I used the Whale Done stamp set to do all my stamping onto a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. The sentiment is stamped in the center using Pretty Peacock ink. In the lower right corner the coral is stamped in Calypso Coral ink and the seaweed is stamped in Old Olive ink. A few mini seahorses stamped in Just Jade can also be seen with the card closed. Tomorrow we will use the same materials to make a portrait style card.

Hi Stampers. Spring has sprung! Well, the calendar said it did anyway. As for Idaho, we got snow today! I’m done with snow for a while, I want flowers and butterflies. How about you, are you ready for some Brilliant Wings?
Today’s card is made with a mish mash of Stampin’ Up! products. The card base is Magenta Madness CS followed by a layer of the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper. Next, I die cut a scallop rectangle of Magenta Madness CS and a scallop rectangle of Basic White CS. I used the splatter stamp (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set) and Basic Gray ink to stamp onto the Basic White scalloped rectangle.
The scalloped rectangle layers are adhered to each other with Stampin’ Seal and Adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Brilliant Wings dies, I die cut the solid butterfly from Pool Party CS and the detailed butterfly from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Those are then adhered together with glue dots and to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. The sentiment, from Peaceful Moments stamp set, in Basic Gray ink onto a strip of Basic White. I also cut a strip of Just Jade CS, slightly larger and flagged both strips with the Triple Banner Punch. These were attached to each other with Stampin’ Seal and to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few In-Color enamel dots, finishes the look.
Inside the card is a simple layer of Basic White CS with a 1/2″ strip of DSP on the left side.
Don’t forget to pin to Pinterest. 🙂
