I have another Country Home stamp set card today. I really am loving this set. For today I combined Country Home with Love What You Do stamp set. I almost named the post Country Pitcher, LOL! The pitcher reminds me of the old blue metal dishes that were speckled and usually had a tad of rust on them. Am I dating myself? HaHa. Anyway, I turned it into a vase.
Country Home, 147678
Isn’t that Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper just beautiful? Stampin’ Up! continues to top themselves on the beauty of the DSP. This pack has each sheet with one side that is either pearly or copper. It is just “WOW!!
Because I wanted a blue pitcher, I chose to focus on the blue of the DSP. My base card is Blueberry Bushel. I have used it before, but when I put it with this DSP it just seemed to brighten. My coloring is with the Stampin’ Blends. I love how they seem to blend themselves and do not leave lines. I am definitely not a great blender!
To finish off the card I knew it needed something but I did not want to cover up the DSP. So I added the Pearlized Doily. It sort of blended into the paper, so I backed it with a Blueberry circle. The sentiment is stamped and backed with Blackberry Bliss. I added just a single pearl to go with the pearlized paper and doily.
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate it. I have a complete supply list at the bottom of the page. Also I have included the measurements just below. Thanks again and please stop back tomorrow.
MEASUREMENTS: (Sorry for the funky 16th of an inch measurements. I stamped and decided to cut it down and that’s where I ended up! Oops)
Card base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2 , folded and burnished
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs – this month’s song is “Dog Days Are Over.” While we still feel the heat from a long, hot summer, August is a perfect time of year to start planning our Fall-themed cards. The projects in our hop will showcase Autumn, back-to-school and warm colors – you might even see a dog or two! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I racked my brain for an End of Summer type card and kept coming up blank. Then I went out to fill the bird feeders and thought of the Blue Sunflower card I did previously. The light bulb came on!!! So I did an updated version of that. You can see the original card HERE. For the updated version I thought of a big sigh of relief . School has started back, all the before school and last minute chores are taken care of, and you can just take a breath and relax. That is relax for the few minutes before the holiday season begins!
Painted Harvest, 144783
I played around with different items across the front of this Double Z Fold Card. I kept coming back to the sentiment from Colorful Season “Just Breathe”. I love that and it totally described what my idea of the Hop Theme is. Since it was too large to stamp on the strip running across the front, I fussy cut around the sentiment. I was pleasantly surprised that I really like how it came out.
Here is a picture of the card opened.
I left the sentiment spot blank. I felt like there were actually two sentiments and that gives me room to write a short note to the recipient. But when you make it, feel free to add another sentiment! As always, the list of supplies I used are at the bottom of the post.
The base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 2 3/4, and 5 1/2. Z fold and burnish
The Mango pieces are 4 X 5 1/4, 2 @ 2 5/8 X 4
The Wood DSP pieces are 3 7/8 X 5 1/8, 1 @ 2 1/2 X 3 7/8, and a white at 2 1/2 X 3 7/8
The base strip is 1 X 11, scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Z folded and burnished

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Robin Myren at Songbird Designs by Robin. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Today’s card is perfect for what I am going to be doing later this morning. Today is the day that Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators get to register for the 30th Anniversary Convention. WooHoo!! What is perfect is that I started today’s card without really thinking about that. The subconscious at work!
Apron Of Love, 145835
I was thrilled when this Apron Of Love set, with it’s matching Framelits, carried over to the new catalog. It has so much that can be related to an apron. To me, it brings back fond memories of an Aunt trying to teach me to cook. (Unfortunately it did not take!) I also remember my first Stampin’ Up! party/workshop I attended and the demonstrator wearing the SU apron. And yes, I do have a SU apron.
I made my apron a stamping apron and you can see the card sticking out of the pocket. It is paired with the Garden Impressions 6X6 Designer Series Paper. The colors are gorgeous in this DSP.
Yes, I do Love What I Do!!! And I hope you are inspired by today’s card. I have listed all of the supplies at the bottom of the post. This would have been a perfect card when the last Join Promotion was going on. Oh Well, it fits with my excitement of registering for OnStage. I get to hang out and stamp with my fellow demonstrators from around the country, and some from around the world!
Thank you for visiting today. I greatly appreciate each time you check out my posts.
I was so excited when I saw this typewriter set in the new Annual Catalog. It reminded me of a favorite from a few years ago. I have made several Thank You 3X3 cards with it that I have not shown here. So today I have a full size card to share.
P.S. You’re The Best, 146516
I used only the stamps included in the stamp set. I love being able to complete a card with only one stamp set. The background blue layer is Balmy Blue stamped with Balmy Blue Ink. The blue of the center is Balmy Blue Ink applied with an Aqua Painter.
I stamped the typewriter and then used a mask to place over it to stamp the flowers. One flower is stamped and fussy cut out to give some depth. They were all colored using Stampin’ Write Markers.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Blog Hop card as well. Please be sure and check back on Monday, but also next Wednesday is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop. There will be lots more great ideas for you.
I commented in a post from last week that I love punches. Today’s card is definitely a Punch Card. I used three different punches for this one. There are an unusual mix of punches as well. I hope you will see the cuteness and humor in it.
Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, 146926
This card could also be a Share What You Love Designer Series Paper card! I know I tend to use this Specialty DSP quite often. But if you had it in your hands, you would use it as well. It is absolutely AWESOME!
The cat holding the balloons is perfect for me because I love cats. When I was looking for my focal point, other than the DSP, I was gazing over all of my punches and landed on the cat. Then I saw the Balloon Bouquet Punch and knew that was the combination I needed. The adorable little sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings. I always hate to lose great sentiment stamps like Teeny Tiny Wishes, which just retired, but this set is perfect.
All of the DSP used is from the Share What You Love DSP. The banner and background are the two sides of one sheet. The multicolored circles are from a different sheet. I never throw away DSO scraps and this is a perfect card to use them on.
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate it. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. Don’t forget about the Bonus Days, details below. This DSP would get you halfway to the needed $50.00 for a bonus coupon. Yes that is a tad expensive, but it is card stock weight and 24 sheets. A normal pack of DSP is only 12 sheets.
I debuted the Blended Seasons Bundle during the July InKing Royalty Blog Hop. You can see that card HERE. This stamp set is only available during August and While Supplies Last! The stamps are perfect for Spring/Summer, Fall, and Christmas. But the Framelits are spectacular. They match a few of the stamps but the best part are the three layers that are stitched! They are stitched inside the cutting line and leave stitching around the outside of the cut out. It’s a super look! Take a look at today’s Fall inspired card.
Blended Seasons Bundle, 149894
I used one of the layering dies from the matching framelits so you can see the stitching. The background is the Subtle Embossing Folder. The leaves are part of the Blended Seasons set as well as the Die Cut leaf.
I stamped the leaves in Cherry Cobbler Ink and then used the Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen to color the leaves. The sentiment is from the precious Host Stamp Set – Very Vintage.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend and will return to see my Monday project. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.
Don’t forget about Bonus Days!!! For every $50.00 you spend (at one time) during August, you will receive a coupon code worth $5.00 to use in September. It’s like getting paid to shop!
