Designer Series Paper is a staple in my craft room. I can get even more bang for my buck by altering the paper to fit my project. Especially with black and white patterns. Add color with markers, ink blending or stamping on it. The possibilities are endless!
For this project, I added some color to the black and white dsp with Polished Pink and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blend markers. It provided a nice compliment to the watercolor wash and flower silhouette.
Give it a try for yourself. Imagine the possibilities!

Hi there, friends! It’s One Stamp at a Time blog hop time. This month we are celebrating Christmas in July! I could use a little winter thinking. It has been an overly hot summer so far. So, let’s imagine a cozy winter day, with a warm sweater and a cup of hot cocoa. Here are my projects to celebrate Christmas.
I made a Christmas card and a little sour cream treat container featuring the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set and Tidings of Christmas DSP.
Colors used are Sahara Sand, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Cherry Cobbler. I love the prints in the Tidings of Christmas DSP. They really help a project come together quick.
The sour cream treat container was made from a 6″x6″ piece of DSP. I cut a couple of tags using the Tailor Made Tags dies to finish it off. The various size tags work together for a fun detail.

Hello friends, welcome to the Stamp Review Crew blog hop featuring Artistically Inked. This set is part of the Expressions in Ink product suite in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! catalog. This stamp set looks like an alcohol ink wash, without the hassle of alcohol inks! As usual with stamp sets that are part of a product suite, I decided to use some alternate colors to help you see beyond the limits of coordinating products. Let’s take a look
First up is s simple thank you card. Started with a Smokey Sate card base and added 1/4″ strips of Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia card stock. I stamped the ink was image in Smokey Slate and over-stamped the “thanks” in the coordinating card stock ink colors. The stamped panel was die cut with a stitched rectangle.
For my second card, I added a few more images and stamped a background panel in Smokey Slate and Polished Pink inks. I die cut the edge of the panel, and a Polished Pink strip with the NEW Basic Border dies. I love a bit of added detail. I embossed the sentiment in black. and added some Matte Black Dots to finish it off. This panel was mounted to a Smokey Slate card base with a bit of DSP from the Neutrals Assortment stack.

I find alcohol ink art absolutely fascinating. I have yet to try my hand at it. Fortunately for me, Stampin’ Up! came out with the Expressions in ink suite of products and the Artistically Inked stamp set. I can get a similar look with my dye based inks. And the gorgeous Expressions in Ink specialty DSP is a perfect addition, capturing beautiful alcohol ink flow designs.
Just a small strip of the DSP and a few stamps create a simple, yet elegant thank you card. I love the bright colors against a large amount of white space. It really captures the eye.

Welcome back friends! Today I am hopping with the One Stamp At Time team! Our theme for this month is “Boys in the Hood”. Focusing on projects for the guys in our lives. With Father’s Day around the corner, I knew what I wanted to focus on. These projects would work great for a birthday, with a few minor adjustments.
I took a more whimsical approach with fun card and gift box duo. I love the patterned paper from the Host exclusive Pattern Party DSP stack. For the little gift box I added Playful Alphabet die cut letters. I added foam adhesive sheet to Misty Moonlight cardstock before cutting out the letters.
I carried the Patterned Paper over to the card and brought in the Handsomely Suited stamp set. I’m a sucker for bow ties.
There is an extra fun element on the card. The bow tie spins! Check it out on my Instagram feed. I can’t get the video to post here.
Be sure to work your way through the full blog hop roster! There is a lot of great inspiration waiting for you.

Hi there! I wanted to pop in today and share this fun geometric card. I love the new Watercolor Shapes stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. These shapes will be great for subtle backgrounds. For this card I wanted to put the shapes in the spotlight.
I stamped the shapes in Mint Macron, Soft Seafoam, and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment from Biggest Wish are stamped in black and Shaded Spruce. Adding some thin paper strips to the card base helped anchor the stitched panel and give some added detail. I threw in some rhinestones for a bit of sparkle. I think I might add some black enamel dots instead of rhinestones if I was going to send this to a guy.

I love black and white with a pop of bright color. Particularly a bright pink.
I used the new Color and Contour stamp set. Isn’t that flower fantastic!?! The Black and white striped dsp piece is from the Pattern Party DSP, which you can get with HOST REWARDS. The new In Color Polished Pink fit the bill perfectly for the pop of color. I colored the little rhinestones with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends to carry on the touch of pink.

Welcome, Crafty Friends, to today’s Stamp Review Crew blog hop! We are shining a spotlight on a fun new stamp set in the ’21-’22 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog – Hand Penned Petals. It is also part of the beautiful Hand Penned suite of products, which includes coordinating dies and Hand Penned DSP.
I took my inspiration from the Hand Penned DSP. I love the soft colors of the designer series paper and carried that over to some ink blending on the card base and die cut scalloped panel. I used blending brushes and Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather and Pool Party inks.
I highlighted the word “possible” with my Highland Heather Light Stampin’ Blends to help it stand out. A wonderful note of encouragement to share. Let’s go on and see what else is possible with this great stamp set! Head on over to Nikki by clicking the NEXT button below, or go back to Charlet by clicking the PREVIOUS button below.

Hello friends! I’m am happy to be hopping with the One Stamp at a Time design team to share some creativity with you today. This month is the release of the NEW Stampin’ UP! annual catalog, so the OSAT team is bringing you a mash up blending old and new products.
For this card and gift box I used: new products Hand Penned Petals stamp set and coordinating dies, and Hand Penned and Pattern Party DSP, old products 2020-22 In Color Cinnamon Cider and Linen Thread.
I like the unexpected use of Cinnamon Cider for the florals, drawing from the same color in the DSP pattern.
I used the same general idea for the gift box, but used the Penned Flowers dies cut out of Cinnamon Cider card stock. I cut two of the floral image on top, glued the together except at the base which I folded out and adhered to the box top so it stands up.

Hello crafty friends! I’m here with the Stamp Review Crew for a fun blog hop featuring the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This is a fun and versatile set. At first glance, it looks like it is only for vintage-y type projects, but let you creativity loose and see it can be so much more.
I am getting desperate for spring, unfortunately I’m in MN and that is still a ways off. My projects this time of year seem to work to bring spring into my house as much as I can. I went with a bright springtime color combo of Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, and Coastal Cabana.
For my first card, embossed the flower image with white embossing powder on white card stock. Then, I did some ink blending with Stampin’ Up!’s new blending brushes.
I took the Opal Rounds embellishments and colored them with the coordinating Stampin’ Blends. A fun springtime Hello.
My next card has a similar blended background, but this time I achieved it with water coloring.
I did a light watercolor wash of the three colors. Once dry, I stamped the lace like image in each color. Then I took a watercolor brush over the stamped images to blur them out some.
A fun springtime duo to showcase a great stamp set! Now, it is time for you to continue through the blog hop. You can move on to Charlet by clicking the NEXt button below. Or, if you are doing the hop in reverse, you can head over to Cindy by clicking the PREVIOUS button below.
