Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink!

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card to share that I created with A Touch of Ink Sale-a-bration stamps!

It's actually much easier than it looks! I stamped the images on one complete strip and then cut it into three equal sections. I started with a 2 1/4" x 5" Basic White Strip, stamped all of the images with Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Highland Heather, and Granny Apple Green inks, then cut three sections each 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". The Basic Black mats behind the images are 2 3/8" x 1 3/4". I popped up each section with Stampin' Dimensionals over an Coastal Cabana layer embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

The greeting is from Many Messages, cut with the Messages Die. I added Elegant Faceted Gems to each end.

The inside sentiment is also from Many Messages:

A Touch Of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)	Many Messages Bundle	Many Messages Cling Stamp Set
Messages Die	Tasteful Textile 3 D Embossing Folder	Elegant Faceted Gems
Coastal Cabana 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock

For my projects today I combined A Touch of Ink (free with a $100 order) with Oh So Ombre 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order). I created a card with each of the four colors from the Oh So Ombre paper.

A Touch of Ink contains sentiments and images. No additional stamp sets needed!

For the Blackberry Bliss I used the Tailored Tag Punch and Gorgeous Grape Pastel Pearls.

A Touch of Ink includes stamps to add color to the outline images.

The Granny Apple Green version, also with Coastal Cabana Holiday Rhinestones and Tailored Tag Punch.

There are 17 photopolymer stamps in A Touch of Ink, including this "Love"!

Finally, Rococo Rose with Rococo Rose Pastel Pearls:

I left the inside blank to add a personal note of thanks:

Dimensions:

Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored 4 1/4"

Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink Hummingbird Pop-Up Fun Fold!

Posted on January 13, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another card created with the Sale-a-bration (choose free with a $100 order) stamp set, A Touch of Ink. This set is so pretty as well as versatile!

My card today is a pop-up fun fold with a Granny Apple Green/Gorgeous Grape color combo:

I stamped the hummingbird with Tuxedo Black ink, then added stamped-off Gorgeous Grape with the coordinating stamp. I used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add Granny Apple Green ink refill for pops of color and shine. The double bow is tied with Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Sheer Ribbon. I tied ribbon around the card flap into a knot, leaving the tails long. Next I tied two 10" lengths of ribbon into a bow, tying the ribbon tails around the bow's knot. After a little adjustment and a glue dot under the knot it was perfect!

I love the Pastel Pearls!

I opted for a sentiment from So Sentimental on the inside:

Dimensions:

Card base: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2", scored at 3", 7 1/4"

Oh So Ombre front: 2 3/4" x 4"

Granny Apple Green for pop-up: 2" x 3"

Gorgeous Grape focal image mat: 2" x 3"

Basic White focal image: 2" x 3" inside layer: 4" x 3 5/8"

Ribbon: about 32 inches

Stampin’ Up! Touch of Ink Accordion Fun Fold!

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have an easy Accordion Fun Fold to share with you! I used the Sale-a-bration $100 spend stamp set, A Touch of Ink. You can't buy it, but you can choose it as your free gift when you spend $100 before tax & shipping.

For this first card I combined Touch of Ink with a Sale-a-bration $50 spend freebie, Paper Blooms Designer Paper:

I stamped the butterfly outline with Tuxedo Black ink, then added Seaside Spray with the coordinating image from the set. I added Highland Heather ink with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add sparkle and color all at once!

The accordion fold pulls out to reveal the inside sentiment:

I used the same Seaside Spray base with another Paper Blooms print, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray here:

I created this for a swap:

I embossed this one's front panel with Meadow Moments "mini" embossing folder. "Mini" fits through the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

After embossing I pressed my Versamark ink pad on the layer, sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder and embossed with my Heat Tool to get the glossy look.

Here is a tutorial with dimensions to make these fun cards:
