Inspirations In Ink: Thoughtful Expressions Bundle Blog Hop Card

Welcome and Thank you for visiting Christy’s Stamping Spot! I’m Christy, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Southern Arizona, USA. I’m excited to be taking part in the Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop with this fabulous group of Demonstrators!

For this month’s blog hop and March’s PDF Tutorial we are focusing on the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Thoughtful Expressions Bundle. I paired the Thoughtful Expressions bundle with the lovely Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper. I also used the sentiments from the Annual Catalog Pansy Patch stamp set and the Boho Blue Textured ribbon.

Start with a Boho Blue cardstock card base. Cut a Lost Lagoon cardstock panel and a Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper panel. Glue the panels together and wrap them length wise with Boho Blue Textured ribbon using Tear & Tape to secure the ends on the back of the panels. Glue the wrapped panels to the card base.

Die cut a Boho Blue cardstock label layer and a Basic White cardstock sentiment label with the Thoughtful Expressions dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Boho Blue ink on the Basic White cardstock label. Glue the stamped label to the Boho Blue cardstock label and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add it to the top left of the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon. Stamp the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Die cut out the hummingbird with the Thoughtful Expressions dies and color it with Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends. Add Wink of Stella to the hummingbird for sparkle. Use glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the hummingbird to the card front on the right side of the labels.

Die cut Boho Blue cardstock flowers (1 large &two small) with the Thoughtful Expressions dies. Die cut two Lost Lagoon cardstock leaf sprigs with the Thoughtful Expressions dies. Use glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensional (cut to fit) to add the leaves and flowers to the bottom and slightly to the left side of the labels. Add 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the centers of the flowers. Tie a bow in the Boho Blue Textured Ribbon and add it above of the labels with glue dots.

Add a Basic White cardstock panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Boho Blue ink and add a strip of Designer Series Paper to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
