Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! We returned to PA last week, just in time for the Fall Foliage to peak, so I was inspired to use the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set to capture the beauty. I finally finished my card and used the pretty sentiments from the Very Best Occasion cling stamp set with it. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the oak leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set several times on a Very Vanilla panel. I used a technique where I inked the stamp in one color and used a sponge dauber to apply a second color to parts of the leaf before stamping the image on the card stock. I used Crumb Cake with Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral with Parakeet Party and Crushed Curry with Calypso Coral. I cleaned the stamp after each leaf and rubbed out the excess color from my sponge daubers to keep my ink pad colors from mixing.

I embossed the stamped panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered the panel to a Crumb Cake mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Crushed Curry strip and trimmed the end with my paper snips. I folded a length of natural ribbon, secured the middle with a glue dot and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals and finished it with a rustic metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Crushed Curry and Calypso coral and stamped it next to the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

We had beautiful Fall Foliage this week, but after Halloween, half of the trees are bare – the peak passed so fast! Falling leaves are so peaceful, and these sentiments are so pretty, making a nice fall friendship card, encouragement card or even a get well card.

Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here is a CAS (clean and simple) card made with the fun Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up bundle with a pretty embossed background You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week and our theme is Christmas!

I embossed a panel of Basic White with the fun Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White mat.

I used the ornament dies from the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up bundle to cut outlines from Real Red, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party glimmer paper. I used a dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ blend to color the Parakeet Party ornament darker. I adhered the ornaments to the embossed panel with dots of liquid glue. After they dried, I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink on strips of Basic Black and sprinkled them with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heated them with my heat tool until they were bright and shiny. I trimmed the ends and adhered the sentiments to the card front with glue dots. I adhered some rhinestones around the card for a little more bling.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the present in Real Red next to the sentiments and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up bundle is pretty versatile and great for clean and simple Christmas cards. The outline dies for the trees and ornaments is really unique – it’s a fun set to play with!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle will be available tomorrow when the Fitting Florets Promotion begins. The bundle is an early release from the upcoming January – June 2023 Mini Catalog and the promotion will also include products that are available for a limited time, including the pretty Fitting Florets designer series paper and the Framed and Festive cling stamp set. And this is all perfect for making Christmas cards. I used both of these products with the beautiful oval frames from the new bundle for a Double Easel fun fold Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered panels of the beautiful Christmas themed Fitting Florets DSP to the sections of the Real Red easel section before adhering the easel section to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with liquid glue. I cut the large oval frame from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle and stamped the Framed and Festive sentiment in Real Red ink on the oval (save the frame for the next project). I cut another large oval frame from Brushed Gold foil and a small oval from Real Red card stock. I placed the stamped large oval inside the large frame and adhered the small frame on top with liquid glue. I cut anther small oval from Basic White and adhered the frame and oval to the back of the large frame with liquid glue. This gives a nice finished look to the back of the large oval frame.

I adhered the frame to the front of the easel with liquid glue applied to the lower section of the oval. I stamped the double flower from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on Basic White. I colored it with So Saffron, Real Red and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the large greenery sprig die from Soft Succulent and two of the small detailed leaves from Evening Evergreen. I adhered the large greenery and detailed leaves to the frame with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals.

I adhered white dots to the berry parts of the greenery and finished the front with three of the new adhesive gold swirls that will be available tomorrow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the little leaf pair in the top corner in Evening Evergreen and the sentiment from the Framed and Festive stamp set in the center in Evening Evergreen. I colored the flowers and leaves with Soft Succulent, Real red and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with Fitting Florets DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The beautiful Fitting Florets designer series paper and the Framed and Festive stamp set will only be available during the promotion period that begins tomorrow. But the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle will be available afterwards when the new January – June 2023 Mini Catalog goes live. It’s sure to be a favorite!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the upcoming Jan-Jun 2023 Mini Catalog and it is so beautiful! It will be available on Tuesday along with the beautiful Fitting Florets designer series paper when the Fitting Florets promotion begins. But the designer series paper will only be available during this special promotion, so I’ve layered it on today’s friendship card so you can see how well it goes with the beautiful stamp set. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a plaid strip of the Fitting Florets designer series paper to a leafy Soft Succulent panel of the DSP with liquid glue before adhering them both to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base. I adhered a floral panel of the DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat before adhering them both to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen on Balmy Blue. I cut it out with the long label die from the Potted Succulents dies and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the single flower in Night of Navy on Basic White and colored it with Balmy Blue and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends, with a light shading on the petals. I stamped the little leaf pair in Evening Evergreen and colored it with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends, shading it darker in the leaf centers. I cut the leaves and flower out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered the leaves to the back of the flower with a glue dot. I folded a short length of Evening Evergreen ribbon and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the flower and leaf on the ribbon with dimensionals. I colored the flower with Wink of Stella to give it a little sparkle and finished the label with a Balmy Blue faceted dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little leaf pair from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I colored it with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends like the leaves on the front. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fitting Florets DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

A layered card design is the perfect way to show off beautiful designer series paper, because you have so many pretty colors and patterns that coordinate well together. And since it’s Stampin’ Up!, the colors also coordinate with card stock, inks and markers, so you can easily put together a pretty card. Look closely and you’ll notice how the little blue flower in the background DSP goes perfectly with the stamped and colored flower on the label. Learn more about the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle below.

Join Me for a Facebook Live This Afternoon

I’m planning to go live on my Facebook Page at 1:00 ET this afternoon to play some more with the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP. I look forward to seeing you then!

Tomorrow is the last day for the Starter Kit + Joining Promotion!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes Christmas Wishes Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle is so cute for holiday cards and crafts. I especially love that you have dies and stamps for two symmetrical candy canes. I used the dies to cut candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder and adhered a Garden Green strip of Sweetest Christmas designer series paper across the front with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Real Red card base. I cut a real red panel with the second smallest Scalloped Contours rectangle die and adhered a Real Red panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the front before adhering it to the card with liquid glue.

I cut two candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas DSP using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle. I cut two more candy canes from Basic White and adhered the DSP candy canes to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the candy canes to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes cling stamp set in Real Red on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die.

I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set twice in Garden Green on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered the leaf sprigs to the card with dimensionals and finished the label with three red rhinestones. I used the Real Red ruffled ribbon to make a bow and adhered it to the candy canes with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped two of the leaf sprigs in Garden Green in the corner of the panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Garden Green Sweetest Christmas DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle is so cute and makes for festive Christmas cards, tags or decorations.

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I made a Christmas card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Brightest Glow stamp set. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Soft Succulent Festive Foils specialty paper to a Real Red mat. I die cut some sprigs using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from Evening Evergreen Glimmer paper, Silver Foil and Real Red card stock.

I stamped the large greenery outline from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White. I inked up the leaf stamp with Pear Pizzazz and stamped if off before stamping it over the leaves. I cut it out with the coordinating die. The leaf stamp doesn’t line up with the outline stamp giving the image an abstract textural look. I adhered the large Evening Evergreen die cut to the layered panel with dots of liquid glue and adhered the stamped greenery over it with glue dots. I adhered the Silver Foil and Real Red die cuts with dots of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Soft Succulent panel. I sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle. I adhered the die to the panel with dimensionals and popped the panel on the front of a Soft Succulent card base with dimensionals, covering the stems. I finished the card with silver pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pear Pizzazz in the corner and stamped the leaf over it in stamped off Pear Pizzazz. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle is so beautiful, so I thought I would try it in a Christmas palette. It’s an elegant twist on a Christmas greeting.

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today, I combined the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty cling stamp set and beautiful Awash in Beauty designer series paper with the Amazing Thanks dies for a quick and easy thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a pannel of Merry Merlot card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Merry Merlot card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of Awash in Beauty designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow mat, wrapped it in Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I cut a Merry Merlot panel with the detailed ‘thanks’ word die from the Amazing Thanks dies and a Basic White panel with the background die. I adhered the die cut words together with dots of liquid glue and adhered it to the card front. I finished the card with an iridescent pearl.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty stamp set in Polished Pink on a Basic White panel. I covered it with a mask and stamped the stem with leaves under the flower in Mossy Meadow. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Awash in Beauty DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This pattern from the Awash in Beauty Stamp set has so many pretty floral images from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty stamp set, but at a different scale. There are also images that compliment the stamps and the color palette is gorgeous.

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Sneak Peek

Good Morning! You’ve heard about the upcoming Fitting Florets promotion and I finally got mine this week and here is my first sneak peek. The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the upcoming 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and I’ve used it along with the Fitting Florets designer series paper for a special day card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the small floral Fitting Florets DSP to the top of a Basic White panel and adhered a Balmy Blue panel of the DSP to the bottom. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen on a Basic White panel in the upper corner of the oval. I cut it out with the slotted oval frame – don’t throw away the frame!

I used the same frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets dies to cut a Balmy Blue frame and adhered it to the layered DSP panel with dimensionals (my half dimensionals fit perfectly!). I adhered the sentiment oval to the panel with liquid glue, centering it in the popped up frame. I cut three leaves from Evening Evergreen and adhered them to the panel with dots of liquid glue

I cut a Polished Pink floral cluster from the large floral panel of Fitting Florets DSP with the coordinating Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets die and adhered it to the layered panel with dimensionals and glue dots. I made a double bow from white crinkle ribbon and adhered it to the bottom with a glue dot. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Polished Pink card base with dimensionals and finished it with three iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the floral cluster stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Melon Mambo ink and stamped off twice before stamping on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment over the floral cluster in Evening Evergreen ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fitting Florets DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is sure to be a favorite with all the floral images and gorgeous oval dies. The coordinating Fitting Florets DSP is an exclusive that will only be available during this promotion. I love that it’s got a pretty image that coordinates with a die, but there’s also several patterns that are great for Holiday cards, so it’s also perfect for this busy season and I love floral Christmas cards too!

Good Morning! I received my October 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Ho Ho Ho! this week and I put together some of the pretty cards. This kit makes 9 cards – three of each whimsical, fun Santa themed designs. I made them pretty much according to directions and they are so festive and cute!

Here’s the October 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit unboxing video from the Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel showing the kit contents and directions for making each card.

Here is my first Santa Clause card. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card rather on the Garden Green strip. The Santa is so cute and the Crumb Cake snowflake background is beautiful, especially with the iridescent snowflakes!

Here’s my second card with the beautiful large iridescent snowflake. I just love these die cut snowflake backgrounds!

And here’s my last card with the vellum background on the letters. The ombre starry sky is so pretty and I love how nicely done the coordinating envelopes are!

Here’s the contents of the kit. It comes with everything you need. Note the Early Espresso Stampin’ Spot.

Here’s the cute stamp set included in the kit:

Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Just A Note Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is a beautiful set and today I paired it with the Fabulous Frames dies and metallic foil for a Fall floral note card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Evening Evergreen Boughs of Holly designer series paper to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of copper Brushed Metallic foil with the small scalloped frame from the Fabulous Frames dies. I adhered a panel of Layering Designs Vellum to the back of the frame with dots of liquid glue and adhered the frame to the front of the card with glue dots.

I stamped one of the large floral bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and I cut it out with the 4 section large die. I only needed two more berry sprigs, so I inked up the berry part of the stamp and stamped it on a smaller Basic White panel before cutting it out with the 4 section die. I colored the pieces with Stampin’ Blends. Cajun Craze for the berries, So Saffron for the berry leaves, Pale Papaya and Soft Suede for the flowers Soft Succulent and Old Olive for the flower leaves. I stamped the small single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black, cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Soft Suede, Pale Papaya and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

I arranged the berry clusters on the inside and outside of the frame and adhered them with glue dots. I adhered the large flower with dimensionals over the berries. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on the right end of a strip of Pale Papaya card stock. I used paper snips to trim the end and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered the flower over the end of the label banner with glue dots and added three Pale Papaya Opal Gems around the bouquet.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the berry end of the large floral bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and colored them with Cajun Craze and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I cut one of the picture corners from copper Brushed Metallic foil and adhered it to a lower corner with liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp bundle is such a pretty bundle and the images are great for coloring.
