Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m using one of my all time favorite bundles for today’s card – the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers bundle! It’s great that this bundle has been brought back for the Savings In Bloom! sale this month and I paired it with the exclusive Waves of the Ocean designer series paper for a card perfect for today. 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 and here’s the fun sketch we are using:

I embossed a Pacific Point panel with the Hive 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (note that this is a folder that will shrink, so I cut the panel to size after embossing). I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Pacific Point card base with liquid glue.

I adhered the pretty foil and DSP strips to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the Daffodil Delight panels with the solid and detailed large sunflower dies from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. I cut a panel of Waves of the Ocean DSP with the solid sunflower die and adhered it to the Daffodil Delight die cut. I cut the daffodil center from the Waves of the Ocean DSP and adhered it to the center before adhering the detailed die cut on top with dimensionals.

I decorated the center of the daffodil with iridescent gemstones and adhered the flower to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with a little bumblebee trinket.

For the inside, I stamped the large sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers bundle is so beautiful and goes well with the Waves of the Ocean designer series paper. And it’s perfect for today!

Stampin’ Up! February Pumpkin Kit – Safari Celebration

Good Morning! I finally got my February Paper Pumpkin Kit over the weekend and I put together some of the whimsical cards. Check them out:

The Stampin’ Up! February Paper Pumpkin kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of three fun animal designs. Here’s the kit unboxing video from the Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel showing all the items included in the kit and how to make each card.

Here is my first card with the cool antelope. Since she’s holding a cupcake, I changed the sentiment to a make a birthday card. Note how the cute speckled gem embellishments go with the background design – I love those little gems!

I stamped more speckles in the corners for the fun skating elephant card. I love the color combinations in this kit, especially with the tropical leaves.

And here’s the silly hula hooping chimp. I love the sentiments in the photopolymer stamp set. The fonts are great and they are so positive.

Here are some alternate designs made by the Paper Pumpkin team:

Paper Pumpkin publishes a different kit each month. They are usually card kits, but sometimes the kits will be little containers or other projects. On the 11th of each month, they publish a description of the upcoming kit so you will know the theme and whether it will be a card kit or other type of project. They will give clues about the design, but the kit will be a surprise when it arrives. You need to place your order or subscribe by the 10th of each month and the kit will be delivered to your mailbox before the end of the month. And then, the crafting fun begins!! Here’s the preview of the March 2022 kit that looks like it will coordinate with the gorgeous New Horizons Suite – and it includes an extra stamp set as a thank you bonus!

The March 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit is Beyond the Horizon

Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration bundle is an early release from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and boy is is gorgeous! I made this simple birthday card to introduce you to the bundle and you can check out all the details of the promotion because this bundle is available today! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used sponge daubers to apply Pacific Point and Night of Navy inks to the large wave stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration cling stamp set. I applied Pacific Point to the entire stamp and Night of Navy to the bottom and stamped the image on a Basic White panel. I used sponge daubers to apply additional ink to the wave, Bermuda Bay to the top part of the wave, blending into Pacific Point and Night of Navy towards the bottom.

I used another sponge dauber to lightly ink the sky with Balmy Blue ink. I stamped the bird from the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Basic Gray three times in the sky. I adhered the panel to a Night of Navy mat. I cut the clouds from Basic White using the Waves Dies and adhered them to the panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration stamp set in Night of Navy on a strip of Balmy Blue and cut it out with the label from the Waves Dies. I looped Linen thread through the ends of the label and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled the linen thread around to the back of the card and secured the ends in the back with tape. I accented the label with a rhinestone and adhered the panel to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wave again in Pacific Point on a Basic White strip. I used sponge daubers to apply Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy inks to the strip so that it would resemble the ocean on the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the bird in Basic Gray and adhered the ocean strip to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This is just a simple example of using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Waves Of Inspiration bundle for a birthday card. Be on the lookout for more cards made with this gorgeous bundle and the other exclusive items in the Waves of the Ocean Collection.

Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties Hello Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I pulled out the sweet Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties bundle this weekend and had so much fun playing with this wonderful bundle! I made two different sample cards using the same sketch as the card I made for my Facetime Live yesterday afternoon, but used different color palettes and cactus designs. This is such a versatile set!! You can find the supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I adhered a panel of Artfully Composed designer series paper to a Soft Suede mat and adhered it to the front of a Mint Macaron card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the 4th smallest Stitched Rectangle die and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink. I adhered it to a Soft Suede mat and began building my cactus panel.

I stamped the cactus pot from the Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties photopolymer stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Cactus Builder Punch. I stamped the spiky cactus in Mint Macaron twice on Basic White and fussy cut the leaves. I used the pansy bud stem die from the Pansy Dies to cut two stems from Mint Macaron and trimmed off the buds with my paper snips. I stamped two flowers in Polished Pink and punched them out with the Cactus Builder punch. I adhered the pot to the bottom of the die cut panel with dimensionals and tucked in two of the leaves adhered with liquid glue. I adhered the die cut stems with the Fine-Tipped glue (as usual I forgot to apply my adhesive strip before die cutting – this would have been a perfect time to use them) and adhered the rest of the leaves on top. I adhered the flowers to the stem tips with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals. I finished this card with a gold bumblebee and linen thread bow.

This was my Bumblebee sample card where my DSP strip is from the Sale-A-Bration Daffodil Afternoon pack. The cactus from the Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties is stamped in Old Olive and the flowers in Bumblebee. The pieces are all punched except for the middle ear, which is fussy cut. The pot is Cinnamon Cider and the piece is finished with a knotted length of Linen Thread. The mats are done in Old Olive along with the sentiment.

My Pool Party sample uses the In The Wild DSP and the cactus is stamped in Evening Evergreen and fussy cut. The pot is also fussy cut and stamped in Sahara Sand, but the flowers are stamped in Cajun Craze and punched. Since the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties is a little longer, I stamped it in Cajun Craze on Sahara Sand and cut it out with the Tasteful Textile die. The art panel is die cut from Pool Party and the mats are Soft Suede.

For the inside of the card, I stamped a little vignette in the corner of a Basic White panel that used the same Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties stamps and colors as the card front. I trimmed the bottom of the panel in the same DSP as the front and adhered the panels to the inside of the cards with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cactus Cuties bundle is a wonderful little set and would be perfect for cactus themed note cards or tags as well as cards. I love how versatile the designs are and I love the way the Cactus Builder punch coordinates with the stamps to punch without the white outline! Have fun with this set!

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers cling stamp set is one of my favorites in the new January – June Mini Catalog. The stamps are Distinktive stamps, so you get various shades of ink color in one stamp. The medium flower has several elements – a flower, leaves and background spatter and I wanted to make each element a different color. So I used an old technique called ‘huffing’ to stamp the flower and I am happy with the result. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

The huffing technique is where you use markers to ink the stamps and then breath heavily (or huff) on the stamp to re-moisten the ink before stamping. So I pulled out my 2021-2023 In Color Stampin’ Write markers and colored the stamp with the brush end of the markers. I colored the flower Polished Pink, the leaves Soft Succulent and the background spatter Pale Papaya. Then I huffed all over the stamp and stamped the flower on a Basic white panel. I also stamped the image on printer paper and fussy cut it out to make a mask and covered the stamped image with the mask before inking the stamp again and stamping the next flowers.

After stamping the medium flower from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set three times, I cleaned off the stamp and inked up the leaves with my Soft Succulent marker to add more leaves to the arrangement. I cleaned it up again and inked just the spatter with my Pale Papaya marker to fill in more spatter until I was happy with the arrangement.

I inked up the sentiment stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in Basic Gray and stamped it on the front panel. I embossed the panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder to add texture and adhered the panel to a Polished Pink mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Soft Succulent card base.

I cut a panel Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum with the small detailed butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I added a Soft Succulent In Color jewel to the butterfly and three Polished Pink jewels to each of the flowers.

I inked up the medium flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set with my Polished Pink, Soft succulent and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Write markers again. I huffed on the stamp and stamped the image in the bottom corner of a Basic White panel. I cleaned off the stamp and used my Pale Papaya marker and mask to add more spatter to the edges and then adhered the panel to the inside of my card.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set and have seen several techniques for getting a multicolor image such as inking the stamp with sponge daubers, blending brushes, or using the Stamparatus and they all have pros and cons. And then I remembered huffing and found this the easiest to do for this layout. What I really like is the creativity of trying different techniques and having so many options!

Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I am sharing a Hello card today made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream bundle and the Sale-A-Bration Special Moments stamp set. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a Theme Challenge this week. We’re sharing Spring projects and for me daffodils are one of the first signs of spring!

I adhered a panel of the Sale-A-Bration Daffodil Afternoon designer series paper to a Very Vanilla mat and wrapped a length of Pale Papaya ribbon around it and tied a knot. I popped it on the front of a Pale Papaya card base with dimensionals. I cut a panel of Very Vanilla with the second largest circle from the Layering circle die and a panel of Pale Papaya with the second largest scalloped circle die. I embossed the Very Vanilla circle with the Meadow Moments embossing folder and adhered it to the scalloped circle. I adhered the layered circles to the card front with dimensionals over the ribbon.

I stamped stamped a Very Vanilla panel with the single daffodil from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it with Pale Papaya and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and I used a blender pen to apply craft white ink on the bottom petals. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the embossed circle with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration Special Moments stamp set in Old Olive on a Very Vanilla panel. I cut it out with the small pinked circle from the Tasteful Labels dies and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I finished the card front with the pretty little brushed brass butterflies.

For the inside, I inked up the small daffodil stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and stamped it off twice before stamping in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream bundle is really versatile with pretty stamped daffodils and awesome die cut daffodils, so be sure to check it out. And don’t forget that Sale-A-Bration is ending on Monday! There are only 5 days left to pick up Sale-A-Bration items, such as the Special Moments stamp set or the Daffodil Afternoon DSP, for Free with your qualifying orders, so don’t delay.

Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! Last week I finally pulled out my Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon bundle for this card and I had a little of the New Horizons DSP left over. So I decided to use it for an example of the simplest and most elegant designs I’ve seen with this suite – a simple 3″ x 3″ panel mounted on a Basic White background. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon stamp set about 1″ from the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base.

I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon cling stamp set in Basic Gray twice on the New Horizons designer series paper panel. I stamped the little birds from the Mountain Air stamp set in the sky using Basic Gray. These little birds are perfectly proportioned for the small panel. I adhered the DSP panel to an Evening Evergreen mat with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Evening Evergreen with the tree die from the Horizons die and adhered it to the DSP panel with dots of liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals and finished the front with a Brushed Metallic dot.

I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon stamp set twice in Basic Gray on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I cut another set of trees from Evening Evergreen and adhered it to the panel so that I echo the design on the small DSP panel on the card front. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon bundle has so many stamps and dies that can be used to dress up a square panel of the New Horizon DSP for simple 3″ x 3″ scenes. The simple dark card stock framing makes the scene pop, and you can easily incorporate other nature stamp or die sets such as the Mountain Air stamp set. It can be kept simple or stepped up with additional embellishments or embossing and it’s a great option for masculine cards. And you can get real creative and make 4 cards from a single sheet of New Horizons DSP for a nice set of handmade cards!

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Hugs Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I have been having a lot of fun with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle, exploring new designs and techniques. I CASEd this card from the January – June Mini Catalog during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed all the different techniques that it used. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I stamped a panel of Artfully Composed designer series paper with the leaf stamps of the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set. I stamped the outline leaves in Evening Evergreen over the Old Olive leaves and in Old Olive ink over the Just Jade leaves. I stamped the long leaves in Mint Macaron ink in the Just Jade and Evening Evergreen leaves and then adhered the panel to the front of a Just Jade card base with liquid glue.

I cut adhered a strip of Layering Designs vellum to the front and cut a strip of Calypso Coral cut with the stitched pinked die and adhered it below the vellum. I die cut a strip of Evening Evergreen with the texture die three times and ran the strip through the die cutting machine without the die to flatten the last cut before adhering it to the card front. I stamped a bumblebee strip with the printed script stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Bumblebee ink and adhered it on top of the Evening Evergreen strip. Finally, I adhered a length of white frayed ribbon on top of the layered strips with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline leaf in twice stamped off Mint Macaron ink over the sentiment and stamped the script in Bumblebee. I cut it out with the outline leaf die. I cut a Mint Macaron panel with the detailed leaf die and adhered it to the back of the leaf label before adhering the layered label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with a linen thread bow and Faux Sea Glass shapes.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the script stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Bumblebee and adhered another detailed leaf die cut over it. I stamped another strip of the Artfully Composed DSP to match the card front background and adhered it to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle is perfect for exploring different stamping techniques and artistic designs and styles. And I loved CASEing this card from the catalog. There is so much inspiration in the catalog and so many examples of the different things you can do with this bundle especially. So feel free to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered Hello Card

Good Morning! It’s another cold winter day so I made a card with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle to remind me of the warm tropics. I paired the fun sentiments and lush tropical foliage stamps with the die cut pineapple from the In The Tropics dies for a Hello 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 the Artfully Composed designer series paper to an Evening evergreen mat and popped it all on an Old Olive card base. I used snail in the middle of a panel of the beautiful Layering Designs vellum to adhere it to the card front (it will be covered by the pineapple). I die cut a panel of Just Jade with the leaf sprig die from the Tropical Layers dies in the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. The vellum gives me just enough contrast to prevent the die cut from fading into the DSP, and the die cut helps to tie the pineapple to the DSP (plus I love how leaving a few of the center leaves in makes the die cut casual).

I die cut the pineapple from the In The Tropics dies from Bumblebee and sponged Cinnamon Cider ink around the edges and points. I fussy cut a Bumblebee backing using the die cut and adhered the die cut to the front. I cut a panel of Old Olive with the pineapple top and sponged the edges with Evening Evergreen and curled the leaves with my fingers. I adhered the pineapple top to the card front with glue dots and popped the pineapple on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set in Versamark ink on an Evening Evergreen panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the Messages die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots (where it overlapped the pineapple) and dimensionals. I finished it with an Evening Evergreen iridescent jewel.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in twice stamped off Evening Evergreen ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Artfully Composed DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

A big pineapple against tropical foliage – this little hello is sure to warm you on the coldest winter day!

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 make another touch of tropics card with the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle. Look forward to seeing you then!
