Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the You’re a Peach Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this fantastic suite with all that we have to share.
Peaches and other stone fruit are favorites with me and my family. Here is a photo of my guys at the Minnesota State Fair this past Sunday at the The Produce Exchange food stand. Luke and I had plums. And Nick and my husband Tim (both wearing the hats) had peaches. (Bummed they were out of nectarines. Those are my absolute favorite!)
Maybe you weren’t drawn to this suite initially because of the peach images. But did you know… by playing around with the ink colors you can turn the images from this Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set into other stone fruit (plums, nectarines, cherries, apricots, etc)?!
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for creating other stone fruit images and this tri-fold card using the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set, the Peach Dies, a Paper Lattice, some Snowy White Velvet Specialty Paper, the In Good Taste Designer Paper, and the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

How I doubled the kit by turning the envelopes into more cards
Today I am sharing a birthday-themed 12×12 scrapbook page and a coordinating birthday card with you.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for the page…
Basic White Cardstock
12″ x 12″
Poppy Parade Cardstock
Three pieces that are 3-5/8″ x 5-1/8″
4-1/8″ x 5-5/8″
Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
Three pieces that are 3-1/2″ x 5″
4″ x 5-1/2″
Directions for the page…
Layer together all the photo mat pieces. Attach the three on the left, but just use the other as a guide for a bit before attaching.
Position that layered photo mat piece, and add the banners so that the orange and yellow sections are outside the border of the page. (To space evenly, add the outer two first. Then add the middle loosely. Add the other two shifting the middle if needed.
Now place the large butterfly upside-down in the lower right section of the page, pull the large layered photo mat piece away, and use Blending Brushes to apply color in and around this “butterfly stencil.” Start with Fresh Freesia. And finish with a bit of Blackberry Bliss through the middle.
Pull the “butterfly stencil” away and adhere that large layered photo mat piece.
Use the dauber to add Poppy Parade ink on the outer edges of the medium size butterfly piece.
Then add this butterfly and a small purple one with the help of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp the title piece onto the back side of one of the blue “hope” labels from the kit. (I used the back side of one that was in German or French.) Add this to the top right of the page with Dimensionals from the kit.
Color a few Rhinestones with the Dark Poppy Parade Marker. Allow to dry.
Then add the sequins from the kit, some of these red rhinestones, and (with the help of Multipurpose Liquid Glue) a couple Flower Flourishes.
Your page is now ready for photos!
Directions for the card…
Use the large butterfly from the kit as a stencil again. (Be sure to use it in the upside-down position. This way by maintaining the original coloring on the front, you can still opt to use the butterfly as intended or in some other way.) Use Blending Brushes and apply Fresh Freesia ink first. Then add a bit of Blackberry Bliss ink through the middle.
Open up the card, run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Layering Circle Die to cut a window.
Stamp the sentiment through the window. Open the card and stamp the other sentiment below.
Color a couple small Rhinestones with the Dark Bermuda Bay Blends Marker. Allow them to dry.
Add three small butterflies to the inside of the card and the Flower Flourishes in and around the window area of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Then add the two small blue Rhinestones.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, the refill kit which will be available until supplies last will suffice. Or I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Hand-Penned Suite!
Be ready to be immersed in this fantastic suite with all that we have to share. In addition to the suite products, you’ll also notice now that there is an addition pack of beautiful black & white designer paper now out there called Beautifully Penned. This paper coordinates well with this suite and is free with a qualifying order (in the US that amount is $50 not including shipping and tax). I didn’t use that paper in the card I’m sharing today, but I did in my exclusive tutorial project (see below for details on how you can get that tutorial bundle).
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for how to make a Double Slider Card using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set, the Penned Flowers Dies, the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, and the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. It looks like a complicated card, but it’s done with a super simple mechanism – a loop of thin plastic! And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video (and the peek of the Beautifully Penned Designer Paper!). Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Welcome to the July 2021 Technique Blog Hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative ideas that we each came up with using the Alcohol Ink Technique. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the “Next” button.
This technique is addictive…HIGHLY addictive!! My craft room is starting to fill up with fun samples. I shared a couple finished cards yesterday on YouTube.
(Click here to see my blog post with that video, close up photos of the cards and designs I shared, measurements, and a supply list linked to where you can shop in my online store. )
During that broadcast I brought out this sheet of vellum with a more earthly, masculine look.
And I put together this card below. The Alcohol Ink technique definitely is a fun background for alcohol drink images. Hahaha!
The swirly and marbled looks are also great for underwater and sky images. But really, the designs that you can create are just perfect alone with just a stamped or die-cut sentiment. Each sheet truly becomes a work of art.
Here are the details if you wish to recreate the card that I’m sharing today.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2″
2-1/2″ x 3″
Vellum Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (start with a larger piece if you wish and trim it down after the ink dries)
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
2-5/8″ x 3-1/8″
Black satin ribbon from the kit
2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″
Tips…
Watch my video to get tips for this technique. As you see at the end of the video, I added Wink of Stella here and there on my design to create the gold veins.
After coloring the whiskey with Dark and Light So Saffron Blends, I colored over it with Wink of Stella.
I added the layered center piece with Dimensionals.
And I finished it off with Gilded Gems that I colored with the Dark Mossy Meadow Blends Marker.
This technique is super popular in crafting right now. You can look it up on Pinterest and see all kinds of methods, tools, color combo inspiration, and end results (some creators even going as far as manipulating the ink itself into imagery – flowers, scenery, faces, words, etc.). You CAN invest in a lot of product to get those results. So that why it’s even more exciting for us in this hop to all share how with just a few Stampin’ Up! products that you may already have on hand for your other paper crafting projects you can get such fantastic similar results. Have fun creating YOUR art!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared. Now be sure to scroll down and click on this “next” button to see what Amy Rudd has to share featuring this technique. I hope our ideas in this hop inspire your creativity!

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the June 2021 Expressions in ColorPaper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on June 26th.
Four cards made using the “One Sheet Wonder” technique
A book-binding card (featuring the alcohol wash look with stamps and Gilded Leafing)
Today I am featuring the Artistic Dies (the die set from the coordinating Expressions in Ink Suite in the 2021-22 Annual Catalog) and sharing a few other cards with you.

Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I will have a scrapbook page layout and a fun fold card that I’ll be sharing on July 10th.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
