Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty Suite is has pretty florals and wonderful sentiments. I used the two bundles in the suite along with the designer series paper for today’s friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a strip of Petal Pink Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty designer series paper to a floral panel with liquid glue and adhere the layered panel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. Cut another panel of the DSP with the large rectangle Nested Essentials die and adhere it to the card.

Use the large Petals Of Beauty leaf die to cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the triple leaf on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp two of the medium flowers using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling on Very Vanilla. Use full strength Petal Pink for the detailed stamp, stamped off petal pink for the background stamp and Darling Duckling for the center. Cut out the flowers with the coordinating die. Adhere the leaf cluster to the card with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals.

Use the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color a length of Irregular Weave ribbon and tie a knot. Adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flowers. Stamp the Sentiment from the Words of beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Lost Lagoon ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere it to the card with glue dots and finish with Darling Duckling dots.

For the inside, stamp the flower from the Petals of Beauty stamp set using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling inks in the corner of a Very Vanilla panel. Trim the side with Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brushed with Beauty suite has lots of pretty flowers and leaves – I love the two step stamped flowers! And the word dies in the Words of Beauty bundle are great with three layers! I love that there are so many other sentiments and label dies that fit them perfectly. And the colors in the DSP are so soft and pretty.

Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels bundle has wonderful sentiments for Christmas cards and tags and goes beautifully with the Christmas Greenery bundle and Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper. This is my go to for this year’s Christmas cards and I’ve been busy trying to get them done. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week that picks up nicely with the Traditions of Christmas DSP:

Adhere a strip of Traditions of Christmas DSP to another panel and adhere them both to a Real Red Mat. Wrap the layered panel with Secret Sea ribbon and make a bow on the side. Adhere the panel to the front of a Real Red card base.

Cut the big leaf and two holly leaves from the Christmas Greenery dies from Old Olive and adhere them to the card with glue dots. Cut the pine sprig from Secret Sea and gold foil sheets and adhere them to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels stamp set using Real Red ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the large label die. Adhere the label to the card using dimensionald and finish with sparkly sequins.

For the inside, stamp the flower and pine branch from the Christmas Greenery stamp set stamped off Real Red, Secret Sea and Old Olive inks in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This card is a bit thick because of the bow, so I will probably tuck it into a gift package or give it directly to the recipient rather than put it in the mail. But I’ve made lots of flat, mailable, beautiful Christmas cards with the Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels bundle and Traditions of Christmas DSP, so no one will be missing out. Making Christmas cards is one of my favorite parts of stamping and using these beautiful products makes it a big pleasure!

Stampin’ Up! Jolly Holly with Traditions of Christmas for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the November Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays” and I used the sweet Christmas sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Jolly Holly stamp set with the beautiful Traditions Of Christmas specialty designer series paper to make a fun fold Christmas Card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a panel of Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper to the flat card base. Fold, burnish and adhere the mini card base to the flat card base and adhere another panel of DSP to the front.

Cut a panel of Old Olive Gathering Together specialty DSP with the sixth largest Everyday Arches dies and a panel of gold foil with the next largest die. Adhere the arches together with liquid glue and adhere it to the front of the mini card.

Use the Christmas Greenery dies to cut a floral bouquet from the Traditions of Christmas DSP and two additional panels of Basic White. Adhere the three die cut bouquets together with liquid glue, giving you a thicker bouquet. Adhere the bouquet to the mini card. This raises the pretty bouquet up a bit making it stand out a little more.

Stamp the small sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Jolly Holly stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink on a strip of Basic White. Trim the ends of the sentiment and adhere it to the mini card with dimensionals. Finish with three red sparkle sequins.

For the inside, stamp the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Jolly Holly stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White and adhere the panel to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal. Aren’t the sentiments are perfectly scaled for the mini card?

It’s so easy to make elegant Christmas cards with the beautiful Traditions of Christmas specialty DSP and I’m so glad some of the designs can be cut out with the Christmas Greenery dies! And the Stampin’ Up! Jolly Holly stamp set has a great set of holiday sentiments and images for cards and tags. I’m using it a lot as I work to finish my Christmas cards this month.

I used it with the Gathering Together designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

Stamp the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set twice using Cajun Craze ink on Basic White. Stamp the mushroom and two sets of berries using Early Espresso ink and cut it all out using the coordinating dies. Adhere the berries and leaves to the card with glue dots and the mushroom with dimensionals. Make an Early Espresso bow and adhere it with a glue dot and finish with Early Espresso dots.

For the inside, stamp the leaf and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Cajun Craze and Early Espresso inks in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Fall foliage peaked this week by my house and driving around the countryside has been just beautiful. The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Together bundle captures the beauty of the season perfectly!!

Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty You Are Amazing Card

Good Morning! Here’s a card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty bundle from today’s new Online Exclusives release. This bundle is part of the new Brushed with Beauty suite collection which also includes the Petals of Beauty bundle and Brushed with Beauty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post. (I will update the Supply List later today with links to the new products.)

Yay! Vellum is back! Emboss a vellum panel with the new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder and adhere it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with Stampin’ Seal. Use the second and third largest Textured Notes rectangle dies to cut panels of the Brushed With Beauty designer series paper and adhere them to the card.

Cut a Mossy Meadow panel of Brushed With Beauty DSP with the large leaf sprig from the Petals of Beauty dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the ‘because‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink. Cut it out with the wide label die and adhere it to the card using glue dots.

Stamp the large flower from the Petals of beauty using Calypso Coral ink. Use full strength ink for the detailed stamp and stamped off ink for the background stamp. Cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp the center using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the coordinating die and adhere it to the large flower. Adhere the flower to the card using dimensionals. Apply Adhesive sheets to the back of a Mossy Meadow panel and cut it out with the small ‘just‘ word die from the Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty dies. Cut the middle size die from Very Vanilla and peel off the backing and adhere the Mossy Meadow word to the Very Vanilla word – Don’t forget the dot for the ‘j‘! Adhere the word to the card using bits of dimensional and glue dots and finish with a loopy Early Espresso bow and Calypso Coral dots.

For the inside panel, stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Early Espresso inks on Very Vanilla. trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty bundle and the rest of the items in the Brushed With Beauty Suite Collection are a nice change from Holiday cards and them more I play with these products, the more I’m in love with them. The two step stamping florals are great and the sentiments are too – and so versatile. I wonder if I can incorporate the images into Christmas cards?

More Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas Cards

Good Morning and Happy Halloween! Yesterday I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp with the Peaceful Garden designer series paper and Branching Out dies to make a simple Christmas card. Today I have variations on the same design using other pretty Christmas themed papers, both current and retired. Here’s the link to yesterday’s card where I have the card stock cuts which are basically the same for today’s cards.

For the first card, I used the beautiful Real Red and gold poinsettia paper for the background on a gold foil mat and a Real Red card base. I stamped the sentiment using Real Red ink on Basic White and matted it on Real Red card stock. I simply accented the sentiment with a bow made with the pretty shiny Real Red ribbon and gold sparkling sequins.

For the second alternative, I used the beautiful retired Season of Green and Gold specialty DSP from last year. I matted it with some retired gold glimmer paper and used a Garden Green card base. I stamped the beautiful sentiment in Garden Green ink on Basic white and matted it with more gold glimmer paper. I fussy cut part of a leaf cluster and die cut a small bell and adhered them to the corner and finished with Old Olive sparkling sequins.

For the insides I simply trimmed a basic white panel with the same pretty DSP as the front background and stamped the sentiment from the Bauble Blooms stamp set using the same ink as the front sentiment.

The Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp is so elegant and can easily be adapted to any pretty Christmas DSP and embellishments you have on hand. Check yesterday’s blog post (link at the top) for the card stock cuts and product links.

And have a fun and safe Halloween! My haunted house is set up in my window sill and my jack o’lanterns are on the porch. I’ll be handing out candy to the trick or treaters that come to my door.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today’s Thank You card was inspired by the pretty box on page 52 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle. But I wanted to use the new Peaceful Garden designer series paper and make a layered card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Cut and adhere panels of Peaceful Garden designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the pretty wildflowers from Basic White and Cloud Cover card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies and adhered them to the card using glue dots. Stamp the flower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere the stamped flower to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of Cloud Cover ribbon in half and adhere it to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight. Sprinkle it with white embossing powder and heat set. Cut it out with the small short Textured Notes die and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Misty Moonlight flowers.

For the inside panel, stamp the wildflower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love that the stamped and die cut flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs and Gallery Blooms stamp sets are similar to the flowers in the Peaceful Garden DSP. I wonder if I should have put mats behind the smaller DSP panels. What do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments with You Are Remarkable

Good Morning! I used the pretty leaf sprig stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set along with one of the pretty sentiments from the You Are Remarkable stamp set to make a simple Fall friendship card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

I did practice stamping my leaves on printer paper to determine the relative placement and colors of the different leaves and I recommend that you do so first so that you have a layout you are happy with. I started with the Old Olive large leaf in the lower left corner and built out towards the right and upper corners. I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso inks for the different leaves and Cajun Craze ink for the berries. And I stamped on Very Vanilla card stock.

After stamping the leaves using full strength ink, stamp along the edges using stamped off ink to fill in empty spots using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. I used the same ink for each leaf in the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set. After I was happy with the leaves, I stamped the sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set using Cajun Craze ink in the empty space.

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Gathering Together specialty DSP to a Crump Cake mat and adhered the stamped panel on top using liquid glue. I wrapped it with Old Olive Linen Thread and tied a bow before popping it on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I finished with retired Crushed Curry dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaves and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set in the top corner of a Very Vanilla panel using the same colors as as the card front. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I really love stamping leaf sprays for Fall cards and the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set is great for this with the distinktive (different shades in one stamp) stamps and the variety of shapes. You get a chance to really get creative with your stamps and inks without relying on die cutting. A nice way to show off a great sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes Thank You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve got another super simple thank you card today made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Use the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and Pecan Pie ink to stamp on a the plain side of a panel of Gathering Together specialty DSP. Stamp the image twice, making a double outward spiral design.

Adhere the stamped panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with liquid glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

Wrap a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and make a bow. Finish the card with Antique Pearls.

For the inside, stamp the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on a strip of DSP using Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is a wonderful bundle and I feel guilty not using the great rectangular dies. But the images and sentiments are great too, especially for this time of year.
