Amazing Life Birthday Inside Z-fold card for #ppc331

Hello and welcome to my blog; this is my second post for today.  My first post was about the new Storage by Stampin' Up! that will be available on April 1, 2019.  If you missed that post you can see it here.  My card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge is a fun fold card that I call a inside z-fold card featuring the Amazing Life Stamp Set.  Here's a look at my card.

Here's the card that inspired my card today.  You can click on the card image below and check out what all the other design team members created with this weeks inspiration.


I am not a big fan of Tic Tac Toe challenges but this one was actually very fun today.  I picked the #simplestamping, Monochromatic, and Green combo for my card today.

Tips & Tricks:

Remember to turn the designer series paper in the opposite than the one you want to face out.  If you don't the wrong side will be facing out instead of the intended size; not that this may be a bad thing or anything since the designer series paper from Stampin' Up! is like the cutest in the world.  
Make sure that your score lines are nice and creased.  If not your card may not line up right.  
You're going to make valley, mountain, valley folds before attaching this piece to your card mats.  

I hope that you have been inspired by my little card.  Thanks for dropping by make sure you watch the video which was recorded on my YouTube Live yesterday.  If you need any of the products that I have used today you can pick them up in my online store by clicking on the shopping list below.  
Happy Stampin'

Stampers Showcase Birthday Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my project for this month's Stampers Showcase Blog Hop.  The theme for this month's hop is Birthdays, and I think I have a really cute project for you.  I used the Humming Along Bundle for my project along with a little ink blending and Stampin' blend coloring.  Here's a look at my card.
I used the Humming Along Bundle like I side before.  Which is probably one of the most Spring filled bundle in the Occasions Catalog.  It contains the Humming Along Cling Mount Stamp Set and the Hummingbird Framelit Dies at a 10% discount.  The Humming Along stamp set contains a pretty hummingbird stamp and a beautiful hibiscus stamp among a few others.  The stamped images are designed so that you can use your favorite color media.  Then when you pair that with the matching framelits you come up with the perfect combination.  

Tips & Tricks: 


  • I started my card off my using one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and a little ink blending on a piece of whisper white cardstock (4 x 5 1/4).  I picked the one that had the little diamonds in it because it looked like lattice work once I had the ink blending done.  For the ink blending I used Calypso Coral and a little Pineapple Punch ink.  
  • Once I had the ink blending completed it was time to do a little stamping.  
  • I stamped the hummingbird, hibiscus, and a couple extra leaves in tuxedo black ink.  I knew I was going to be doing a little stampin' blend coloring so I needed a alcohol friendly ink to do that.  
  • I started out the coloring with the hibiscus.  For the flower I used Calypso Coral (light and dark) starting in the center working my way out in a flicking motion.  Next I added just a little pumpkin pie light in the same manner.  I worked out to the edges with petal pink combo pack flicking both light and dark colors into the center from the edge of the flower.  I repeated this process for each petal.  I colored the leaves and steam with pineapple punch and granny apple green.  

  • Next it was time to color the hummingbird.  I used the following colors to do so; Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral.
  • I stamped the sentiment from the set on a piece of whisper white scrap and then used the matching framelits and cut out the sentiment. 
  • I added dimensionals behind the flower and added just a little multipurpose liquid glue on the stem.  I added double dimensionals behind the hummingbird so that it was popped up a little more than the flower.  I added the sentiment with a couple dimensionals.  
I hope that you have enjoyed my project for this month's blog hop.  If you need any of the supplies that you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store 24/7.  You will find a full list of the supplies that I used in the Stampin' Up!
