Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness 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 Give Thanks. I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp bundle to make a card with the wonderful wheelbarrow filled with festive fall harvest foods placed against a background of embossed card stock and Plaid Tidings designer series paper.

I started by embossing a panel of Sahara Sand with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder and adhering a strip of Plaid Tidings designer series paper across the middle. I adhered a strip of Bumblebee 6″ x 6″ wood grained designer series paper on top of the Plaid Tidings paper and adhered it all to a Sahara Sand mat. Then I wrapped a piece of copper ribbon around it and tied a knot on the side. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the wheelbarrow from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness photopolymer stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink on a Cinnamon Cider panel and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut out the wheel from copper foil and adhered it to the back and punched a small dot from the copper foil to cover the axel.

I stamped the harvest foods stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green.

I adhered the harvest foods to the wheelbarrow with a little liquid glue and popped the entire piece on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from the Banner Year photopolymer stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the harvest foods from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set in the lower corner in Sahara Sand ink after stamping off and adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the bottom before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Isn’t the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness wheelbarrow the cutest? And it’s great that there are lots stamps and dies that go with it beautifully! And don’t forget that the Plaid Tidings designer series paper is on sale at 15% discount during October! Yay!!

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Note Card

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing the third in a series of cards that I made using the sweet Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set. Today’s card is another card that was inspired by one in the Aug-Dec Mini catalog, but I made made major modifications so I can’t really say that I CASE’d it. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Emboss a Crumb Cake panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhere it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. Cut a panel of Calypso Coral paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack with the Stitched Rectangles Dies and adhere it to the card front on a wonky angle. Use the same die to cut a Whisper White panel.

Stamp the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp in Soft Suede ink on the die cut Whisper White panel. Stamp the bird house in Crumb cake ink and stamp another Crumb Cake bird house on the small Whisper White panel. Using the leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set, stamp the leaves in Pear Pizzazz, Bumblebee and Calypso Coral ink across the top branches. Stamp a few leaves in Calypso Coral and Bumblebee falling from the tree. Adhere the panel to the card front on an angle opposite from the DSP panel.

Fussy cut the second Crumb Cake bird house with paper snips and pop it on the birdhouse with a piece of dimensional. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Versamark ink on a Calypso Coral strip. Heat emboss the sentiment with white embossing powder and cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle Die. Adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Add some Artistry Blooms adhesive sequins to the tree top and label and wrap a length of Linen Thread around the card fold, making a bow.

Adhere a strip of Calypso Coral paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP to the bottom of a Whisper White panel. Stamp the birdhouse from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful stamp set in crumb cake ink in the top corner and stamp more leaves in Pear Pizzazz, Bumblebee and Calypso Coral. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful Stamp set is really pretty and versatile. The graceful curves of the tree’s trunk and branches make you feel like you’re in a special place, and I haven’t seen a card made with this stamp set that didn’t make me smile.

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Thinking of You

Good Morning! Today I have another card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set. Today’s card is a Thinking Of You card and is set in a night scene with Snowflake Splendor designer series paper and accented with white embossing. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Stamp the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a panel of Snowflake Splendor designer series paper. This is one of the sheets in the pack that has few snowflakes, but it does have pretty watercolor shading in Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue, so I thought it would make a nice nighttime background. Mask off the birds and stamp the birdhouse in Gray Granite.

Stamp the snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Versamark ink across the tree top, sprinkle it with white embossing powder and heat set. Stamp the ground in Versamark ink and heat emboss it in white as well. Adhere the panel to a Whisper White mat and wrap a length of Snowflake Splendor ribbon around the panel and secure it in the back. Adhere the panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the snowflakes on the label after stamping off. Cut it out with the die from the Tasteful Labels Dies and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Finish the card front with Blue Adhesive-Backed gems.

Mask off the birds and stamp the birdhouse in Gray Granite ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp more snowflakes in the corner after stamping off. Trim the bottom with a strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The tree in the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set is really pretty with it’s gentle curves. And the stamp set comes with different images that you can stamp the tree tops with, so it’s great for making trees for any season. And the sentiments are great too. Click on the image below to see the details of the stamp set in my Online Store.

And the pretty Snowflake Splendor designer series paper is on sale now at 15% off – check it out below!

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Hello Card

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing the first in a series of cards that I made using the sweet Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp set. Today’s card is one that I CASE’d from the Aug-Sep Mini Catalog, but I did make some modifications. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Emboss a Gray Granite panel with the Scripty 3D embossing folder. Lightly sponge Gray Granite ink across the letters to emphasize the contrast and adhere it to a Pool Party Mat. Pop it on a Gray Granite card base in the lower right corner.

Stamp the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful photopolymer stamp in Gray Granite ink on the sides of a Whisper White panel. Stamp the bird house hanging from the branch on the right tree in Gray Granite ink. Stamp the dots in the tree tops using Bumblebee ink after stamping off once and stamp the sentiment in Pool Party ink.

Adhere a length of folded Pool Party sheer ribbon behind the top left corner one the panel and adhere the panel to the embossed layer in the lower right corner. Stamp two bird houses from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful stamp set in pool party ink on Whisper White and fussy cut them out. Pop one on the card front with a piece of dimensional covering the stamped birdhouse. Adhere sequins from the Whale of a Time and Woven Threads sequins to the tree tops.

Emboss a strip of Gray Granite with the Scripty 3D embossing folder and lightly sponge the letters with Gray Granite ink. Adhere it to the bottom of a Whisper White panel. Stamp the birdhouse from the Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful stamp set in gray granite ink in the top corner and adhere the Pool Party fussy cut birdhouse over the stamped birdhouse. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The offset placement of the main image in this card is really different and what made me want to CASE this card. There is so much inspiration in the catalogs and ideas for things that you may not have tried. So look carefully at the examples and

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I have another Christmas Card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals bundles. For this card, I used the petal stamps with the outline dies to give definition to the flower petals and I paired the Poinsettia with the Poinsettia Place designer series paper that has a similar floral pattern. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Adhere the strip of wood grain Poinsettia Place DSP to the floral DSP and adhere them both to a Soft Suede mat. Pop it on the front of a Thick Whisper White card base. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals photopolymer stamp set in Soft Suede ink and trim the end with the Banners Pick A Punch. Adhere the label to the bottom of the card

Cut the medium pine bough from Old Olive card stock using the Beautiful Boughs Dies and adhere the bough to the card. Stamp three leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Garden Green ink on Garden Green card stock and cut them out with the coordinating die. Stamp two berry branches from Bumblebee card stock using the Poinsettia Dies and adhere them to the card front.

Stamp two of the large poinsettia petal clusters and one each of the small and medium cluster from he Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Whisper White. Stamp the inside accents in Bumblebee ink. Cut each cluster out with the coordinating die. Gently curl the petals down with your bone folder and adhere them together, with the smallest on top. Brush clear Wink of Stella on the petals to add some sparkle. Adhere the flower to the card front with glue dots. Accent the center with red Wonderful Gems. Make a Real Red bow and adhere it to the card, tucking it under the flower.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals in Real Red ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the Poinsettia flower next to the sentiment in Bumblebee ink and adhere a strip of floral Poinsettia Place DSP to the bottom. Adhere the panel to a Soft Suede mat and adhere it all to the inside of the card.

I’ve made a few other cards with this beautiful flower, but this is the first one that I have stamped. And this is the first one that I have paired with the beautiful Poinsettia Place DSP which is one of the DSP paper packs that is currently on sale at a 15% discount – YAY!!.

Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing another card that I made for World Card Making Day. This time, I made another Christmas Card with the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines bundle. This is one of my favorites from the Aug-Dec Mini catalog because it is so versatile for making tree themed Christmas Cards. And I paired it with some of the pretty papers from the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper pack which is currently on sale (see below)! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Cut out the scalloped oval from Whisper White card stock using the Layering Ovals Dies. Cut out the regular oval from the Mossy Meadow dotted paper in the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper pack. Use the die from the Pine Woods Dies (which comes in the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines bundle) to cut out the center of the Mossy Meadow dotted oval. Adhere the tree oval to the Whisper White scalloped oval.

Adhere the Pear Pizzazz strip to the Real Red background paper, both papers from the Heartwarming Hugs DSP pack and adhere the layered DSP to a Whisper White mat. Wrap a length of the Real Red sheer ribbon around the panel and secure it in the back. Pop it on the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals and pop the layered oval tree on the panel with dimensionals.

Adhere a bow next to the oval on the ribbon strip and trim the ends. Punch the ends of a Whisper White strip with the Banners Pick a Punch and stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines photopolymer stamp set in Real Red Ink. Adhere the label to the tree oval and decorate the card front with red rhinestones.

Stamp the sentiment from the Dove of Hope cling stamp set in Real Red ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the medium outline tree from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink, after stamping off twice, next to the sentiment. Adhere a strip of the Real Red Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the bottom and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up In The Pines bundle is such a versatile set – you may recall that I used another tree die cut from this set for my card last Friday and achieved a completely different look. This bundle is a must have for making Christmas Tree cards!! Click on the image below to get the full details of this bundle in my Online Store.

The Facebook Live video where I made the card is in the Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day group. I’m still working on linking it to my Facebook Business page so you can view it there. I also plan to edit the video and post a shortened version on my YouTube C hannel by the end of the week. Thanks for stopping by and have a Great Week!!

Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! Today I have Christmas Card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! In The Pines bundle. I used two different styles of the trees – the stamped and die cut tree to create a card with pine trees in a snowy field. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock.

Stamp the outline image of the row of small trees from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines photopolymer stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the corresponding filler image using Old Olive ink after stamping off once. Use the sponge brayer to color the sky using Balmy Blue and Pool Party inks, with the darkest color on top.

Cut a panel of Whisper White with the snow bank die and adhere it to the stamped panel below the trees. Cut the large tree with the Pine Woods Dies from Mossy Meadow card stock. Cut the Whisper White panel with the snow bank die and stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines stamp set in Real Red ink in the corner.

Adhere the tree to the panel with dimensionals and adhere the stamped snow bank with dimensionals. Adhere the panel to the front of a Real Red card base with liquid glue and scatter the sky with adhesive backed snowflake sequins.

Stamp the outline image of the row of small trees from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines photopolymer stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink in the lower corner of a Whisper White panel. Stamp the corresponding filler image using Old Olive ink after stamping off once. Stamp the sentiment from the Dove of Hope cling stamp set in Real Red ink and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The die cut tree from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines bundle is the prettiest pine tree, and it goes so well with the stamped trees. And the curved dies are perfect for creating snow banks. Click on the image below to get the full details of this bundle in my Online Store.

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Merry Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I have a modern Christmas Tree Christmas card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Dies and a selection of Garden Green designer series papers from several sources. The large tree with the gold foil comes from the Wonder of the Season Memories & More card pack. The next tree comes from the Poinsettia Place designer series paper pack and the last three come from the ‘Tis The Season 6″x6″ designer series paper pack. My goal was to find different patterns of DSP, but they all had to be Garden Green! 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 by adhering a panel of the Cherry Cobbler striped ‘Tis The Season DSP to a Real Red panel to give it more stiffness since it is adhered with dimensionals. I cut the thicker strip of gold foil with the circle border die from the Ornate Borders Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the thin gold foil strip to the top of the panel.

I cut the large tree from the gold pine branch card from the Wonder of the Season Memories & More card pack with the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Dies. I used one of the smaller dies from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Dies to cut trees from the ‘Tis The Season and Poinsettia Place Garden Green designer series papers. I arranged the trees on the striped Cherry Cobbler panel and adhered them with liquid glue. I adhered the large tree to the panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Versamark Ink on the strip of Real Red and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I adhered the embossed strip to the bottom front of Real Red card base with liquid glue. I adhered the tree panel to a the front of the card base with dimensionals, covering the seam of the label. I sprinkles some red rhinestones across the top of the card to give it some sparkle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid photopolymer stamp set in Garden Green ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut another tree from the gold pine branch card from the Wonder of the Season Memories & More card pack using the smaller tree from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Dies and adhered it next to the sentiment. I adhered a strip of the Cherry Cobbler striped ‘Tis The Season DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered it to the inside of the card.

I love the modern look of triangle trees on Christmas cards, so I was thrilled when the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Triangles Dies came out. I hope you like it too!
