Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Sneak Peek

Good Friday Morning! Today am sharing a sneak peek of a card that uses the new Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment cling stamp set from the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. My card is CASE’d from one that Melody Hyde presented at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event a few weeks back. While Melody used new designer series paper, I paired the stamp set with the In Good Taste DSP. You can find the currently available supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of Pretty Peacock with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base. I used two sizes of the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut the wood grained and the gesso canvas papers from the In Good Taste designer series paper. I stamped the small seed pods from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment cling stamp set in Crumb Cake ink randomly across the die cut wood grained paper.

I stamped the large seed pod from the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on the die cut gesso canvas DSP panel. I colored it with Crumb Cake and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I brushed some Pool Party Stampin’ Blends on the right side of the pod like a shadow and used the Color Lifter to blend the line. I adhered the In Good Taste paper panels to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Whisper White strip and cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die. I folded a length of sheer Pool Party ribbon and adhered it behind the label. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished off the card front with blue sequins.

I stamped the seed pod from the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a small panel of the gesso canvas DSP and colored it to match the front. I stamped the little seed pods on a small panel of the wood grained DSP. I adhered the little panels of the In Good Taste DSP to the lower corner of a Whisper white panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

A cute little nature themed note card! The In Good Taste designer series papers have so many different textures that coordinate beautifully with nature themed stamp sets like the new Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment stamp set. With all the different images and sweet sentiments, this stamp set belongs on every wish list for the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Well Said with Trimming The Town Welcome Card

Good Morning! Do you have new neighbors? Well I have the perfect card for the occasion – a Welcome card made with the wonderful Trimming the Town designer series paper and the Stampin’ Up! Well Said stamp set! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Today’s card is inspired by the simply perfect #TGIFC290 sketch at TGIF Challenges:

I adhered a panel of Trimming the Town designer series paper to a Whisper White mat and then to the front of a Pear Pizzazz card base. I cut a stitched oval from Pool Party card stock using the Stitched Shapes dies. I cut the top of a snow bank with the Home Together Dies and cut the bottom with the same stitched oval die and adhered the snow bank to the oval.

I cut a house from the Trimming the Town DSP with a coordinating die from the Home Together Dies and cut two trees from the same paper – isn’t it nice when the dies match the designer series paper? I used the house die to cut a Whisper White House and adhered it to the back of the DSP house. I adhered the large tree to the oval and the small tree to the house. I adhered the oval to the card front and popped the house on the oval with dimensionals.

I adhered a strip of Adhesive sheets to the back of a strip of Old Olive card stock and cut two ‘welcome’ words with the Well Written dies. I peeled the cover off of one of the words and adhered the two words together and peeled the cover off and adhered the word to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Well Said stamp set in Old Olive ink on a Whisper White panel. I fussy cut some small houses from another sheet of Trimming the Town designer series paper and adhered them to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Wouldn’t this card make you feel welcome to a new neighborhood? The Trimming the Town designer series paper has many wonderful Winter images that make beautiful cards. The small houses perfectly match the large houses, so they were perfect for placing at the bottom of the inside panel of this card. And the Stampin’ Up! Well Said and Well Written stamps and dies coordinate perfectly!

Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness Baby Card

Good Morning! Today I have something something completely different – a Baby Card made with the Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness bundle! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used. Adhere a strip of the textured Petal Pink paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack to the Petal Pink dotted panel. Adhere the layered DSP panel to a Whisper White mat and then to the front of a Petal Pink card base with liquid glue. Cut the fancy stitched panel from the Hippo and Friends Dies in the Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness bundle from Whisper White. Stamp the balloons in Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and So Saffron on Whisper White and cut them out with the coordinating die. Stamp the hippo from the Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Petal Pink on Whisper White. Hint: Stamp the darkest ink first and the lightest last for easier alignment. Stamp the face in Memento Tuxedo Black, then the partial body in Petal Pink and the full body in stamped off Petal Pink. Cut out the Hippo with the coordinating die. Stamp the balloon strings from the Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and the clouds from the Moving Along stamp set in stamped off Balmy Blue on the fancy Whisper White die cut. Adhere the balloons with glue dots and dimensionals and adhere the hippo with dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Moving Along stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White and cut it out with the small skinny Stitched Rectangles die. Adhere it to a folded Whisper White ribbon and then to the card front with glue dots. Pop the hippo fancy panel on the card front with dimensionals. For the inside, stamp the balloons in Petal Pink, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam on a Whisper White panel. Adhere a strip of Petal Pink Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Hippo Happiness bundle has the cutest two step stamping little critters and some great background die cuts that are perfect for children’s cards. And the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP pack with the dots is a perfect compliment. This is for a baby girl, but the card can also be done in So Saffron or Pear Pizzazz for a gender neutral card or in Balmy Blue or Pool Party for a baby boy.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the Inkin’ Krew Monthly Blog Hop! Our talented team has created projects this month with the theme of Christmas or Happy Holidays so if you are just starting your Christmas cards, you are going to find lots of great ideas! I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes stamp bundle to make a simple red and white snowflake Christmas card. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of Real Red card stock with the Winter Snow embossing folder and adhered it to a Whisper White mat.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Wishes - StampinInTheMeadows-02

I die cut the snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle out of Whisper White and adhered them to the embossed panel. I cut two large, one medium and four small snowflakes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes photopolymer stamp set in Real Red ink on a Whisper White and adhered it to a Real Red mat. I popped it on the embossed panel with dimensionals.

I popped the layered panel with the snowflakes on the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals. I accented the embossed panel with white Elegant Faceted Gems.

I stamped the sentiment and snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Real Red ink on a Whisper White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Such a simple Christmas card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes bundle and the Winter Snow embossing folder. I love red and white snowflake Christmas cards – they provide a little twist on blue/sliver/white snowflake cards and are so festive! And these snowflakes are so beautiful and intricate that they make every card just beautiful!!

Stampin’ Up! Moving Along Birthday Card

Good morning! Today I have a fun birthday card made with the Stampin’ Up! Moving Along stamp set – a cute transportation themed set that is great for making children’s cards. I used the train and helicopter stamps to make the cute little scene. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I started out by creating a fun whimsical background with the 2020-2022 In Color designer series paper. I cut a strip of each with the circle designs and adhered them to the front of a Bermuda Bay card base.

I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Moving Along photopolymer stamp set on a Thick Whisper White panel in Memento Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay, Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight ink. I used the two step stamping technique to color the helicopter and train, and it was pretty easy with the photopolymer stamps. I cut the image out with the Stitched Rectangles Die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the little banner in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Balmy Blue Stampin Blend. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink and fussy cut it out. I adhered it to the back of the helicopter. I finished off the card by wrapping a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and tying a bow.

For the inside, I stamped the balloons and string from the Hippo Happiness stamp set in Bumblebee, Granny Apple Green and Magenta Madness on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the A Grand Kid cling stamp set on the inside of the card in Bermuda Bay and Cinnamon Cider inks and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Moving Along stamp set has cute images that are really great for children’s cards. And the two-step stamps give you the flexibility to stamp the images in different colors as opposed to coloring them. I need to use the cute car next time!

Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Card

Good morning! Today is the start of the Curvy Celebrations, so I made a Christmas Card using the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas stamp set that is available starting today! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a panel of Classic Christmas designer series paper with the curvy dotted die from the Curvy Dies so that the dots are on the top. I adhered the top pair to the top of a Whisper White panel and stamped the curvy trees from the Stampin’ Up Curvy Christmas stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on the Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink under the trees.

I layered the Real Red and Whisper White panels so that the tops were even and aligned the cut DSP and die so that the curves would match. I removed the DSP and cut the Real Red and Whisper White cards stock together. I aligned the curves and adhered the Whisper White curve on top of the Real Red and finished with the DSP on top. I trimmed the bottom even with the DSP layer and adhered the layers on the bottom of the stamped Whisper White panel.

I adhered the layered panel to a Whisper White mat and popped it on the front of a Shaded Spruce card base with dimensionals. I decorated the card front with a Bumblebee star and Real Red bow.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas stamp set in Real Red ink. I stamped some stars in Bumblebee ink and some trees at the bottom in Shaded Spruce ink. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Classic Christmas DSP and adhered the panel to a Real Red mat. I adhered to layered panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas stamp set is so much fun with the curvy images and sentiments. And they go so well with the Curvy Dies!

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope Floral Christmas Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing another Christmas card – a floral card made with the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope bundle that I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial yesterday afternoon. So you might think that the Dove of Hope cling stamp set isn’t a floral stamp set, but look closely and you will spot the doves. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I will post an edited version of how I made the card in my YouTube channel later this week so you can view a quickie version.

I started by randomly stamping the doves from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a crumb cake panel and adhered it to a Real Red mat. This gives me a textured background for my flowers like you would get if you embossed it or used designer series paper. I die cut the petals from the Magnolia Memory Dies using Whisper White card stock, I cut two of each petal cluster giving me six total. I gently curled the petals up with my fingers and adhered them together with liquid glue.

I cut two small centers from the Magnolia Memory Dies and adhered them together. I bent the stamens up and adhered it to the center of the Whisper White flower. I cut two large flowers from the Wreath Builder Dies from Real Red card stock and three large leaves from the Magnolia Memory Dies from Mossy Meadow card stock. I cut a label using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies from Crumb Cake card stock and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope stamp set in Real Red ink in the lower left corner. I adhered a Mossy Meadow die cut leaf sprig from the Detailed Dove Dies to the label.

I popped the label to the stamped panel with dimensionals. I adhered the leaves and Real Red flowers with liquid glue and popped the large Magnolia Memory Dies Whisper White flower on with dimensionals. I made a bow with Real Red braided twine and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the flowers with resin dots. I popped the finished panel on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dove of Hope stamp set in Real Red ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped a dove in the upper corner and adhered a die cut sprig under the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love rustic Christmas cards with Crumb Cake card card stock! They have such a natural homespun feel. And I love floral Christmas cards because they’re different, but express the joy of the holiday. And I’m so glad to be able to use the pretty flower from the Magnolia Memory Dies! Have a great week!!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Post Happy Haunting Card

Happy Halloween! Of course I have a Halloween card today and it’s made with the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set along with the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch to punch out two pieces of the Blackberry Bliss spider paper from the Magic In This Night designer series paper pack. I stamped the witches’ brooms from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on the punched DSP. I punched two pieces of Blackberry Bliss card stock with the same punch and adhered the stamped DSP to the front. I die cut the pretty spider from the Little Treat Box Dies from the fun Black Glitter paper and the spider web from the Peek-a-Hoot dies from vellum and adhered it to the punched layered papers.

I stamped the date sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Pumpkin Pie panel and punched it out with the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch. I adhered a strip of the gothic spider web paper to the panel of the black striped Magic in this Night DSP paper and then adhered them both to a Basic Black mat I adhered it to the front of a Basic Black card base with dimensionals.

I adhered the three punched postage stamps to the card front with dimensionals, with the Pumpkin Pie in the middle.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Celebration Tidings in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Whisper White panel. I adhered another spiderweb and spider next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the black striped Magic in this Night DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set has cute images for Christmas and Valentine’s Day as well as Halloween. And they fit perfectly with the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch, for a cute look. Check it out in my Online Store by clicking on the picture below:

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Friendship Card

Good Morning! Today I want to share a sneak peek of a bundle from the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. You see, in a week and a half, the Stampin’ Up! Annual Meeting is going to start – OnStage! But due to the pandemic, this year’s event will be virtual – OnStage@Home! Last year was the first time I went and it was so much fun, and I think that it will still be fun, even virtual. Since I signed up to attend, I was able to purchase the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set early and so I can give you can get a sneak peek of these pretty upcoming products. You can find the list of supplies supplies of currently available products I used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used. The Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating products will be available when the new Mini Catalog releases on January 4, 2021. Here’s my sneak peek:

I embossed a panel of Bumblebee card stock with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bumblebee card base. One of the new designer series paper packs in the upcoming catalog is called Dandy Garden (available Jan 4, 2021) and it’s filled with pretty dandelion florals like this one in Mossy Meadow and Bumblebee. So I adhered it to a Basic Black mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

Another panel of the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack (available Jan 4, 2021) has lots of dragonflies that fit the Dragonfly punch that is also coming in on January 4th. So I punched a bunch of dragonflies from the paper and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue. Since one of my dragonflies is blue, I wrapped a length of Misty Moonlight ribbon around the card front and made a bow.

I stamped one of the pretty sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available Jan 4, 2021) in Misty Moonlight ink on a strip of Whisper White. I cut it out with one of the stitched dies from the Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I finished it with one of the cute ladybug embellishments (available Jan 4, 2021).

For the inside of the card, I stamped the dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available Jan 4, 2021) in Misty Moonlight ink in the corners of a Whisper White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Dandy Garden DSP (available Jan 4, 2021) and adhered it to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the card.

Aren’t these new products cute? They will be available on January 4, 2021 when the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog releases – a nice thing to look forward to after Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a clean and simple card made with the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn bundle accented with leaves and acorns punched from the beautiful Gilded Autumn specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I will post an edited version of how I made the card in my YouTube channel later this week so you can view a quickie version.

Emboss a Very Vanilla panel with the Pinewoods Plank embossing folder and adhere it to a Very Vanilla mat with liquid glue. Pop it on the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. Punch out Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron leaves and Crumb Cake acorns from the Gilded Autumn specialty designer series paper with the Autumn Punch pack from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn bundle.

With the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, cut out the fancy layered labels, the large one from the speckled Crumb Cake paper in the Gilded Autumn paper pack and the smaller one from Very Vanilla card stock, Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn photopolymer stamp set in Early Espresso ink on the Very Vanilla label and adhere it to the DSP label. Pop the labels on the card front with dimensionals.

Adhere the punched leaves on the label with liquid glue and adhere the acorn with a dimensional. Make a bow with the Very Vanilla ribbon and adhere it with a glue dot. Finish the card front with three champaign rhinestones on the label.

Adhere leaves and an acorn to a Very Vanilla panel with liquid glue. Adhere a strip of the Crumb Cake paper from the Gilded Autumn specialty designer series paper to the bottom of the panel and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Autumn bundle is so versatile and it has great sentiments. The leaves and acorn could have easily been stamped in any color palette and then punched – but it’s nice to have beautiful DSP that can be die cut or punched like I did here. And the images in this stamp set are so beautiful in a clean and simple card with a textured Whisper White or Very Vanilla background. And the bonus is that they can be made fairly quickly with stunning results.
