Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and I am using the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle for my Halloween Card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a fishtail bottom on a panel of Celebrate Everything designer series paper to make a banner and adhered it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base.

I used blending brushes to create the background for the haunted house. I applied Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Night of Navy in layers building up the sky. I cut a mask for the hills and used it to cover the sky and applied Mossy Meadow ink with a blending brush to the bottom for the ground. I cut it out with the outline frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle. I cut out the haunted house from Basic Black and the moon from So Saffron and adhered them to the blended background die cut with liquid glue. I cut the frame from Basic Black and adhered it to the background with black dimensionals.

I adhered the little scene to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the bats from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle from Basic Black and adhered three of them to the card front.

I wrapped the card front twice with black baker’s twine and made a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and adhered it over the baker’s twine with black dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped little trick or treaters from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute stamp set in Rick Razzleberry ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the moon in Daffodil Delight and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the rest of the bats with liquid glue and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Celebrate Everything DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle is such a cute and versatile Halloween set. The dies are wonderful, the trick or treater stamps are so cute in their costumes and the sentiments are perfect! They’re great for cards, tags and treat bag decorations.

Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy Happy Place Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the Perfect Partners promotion? Well I picked up the cute Playful Piggies dies to go with the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy cling stamp set 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 adhered a panel of Awash in Beauty designer series paper to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then popped it on a Calypso Coral card base with Dimensionals. I cut a Pear Pizzazz panel with the new grass die from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy bundle (YES! you can get the new dies with the stamp set in a bundle for a 10% discount this month!) and adhered it to a Balmy Blue panel. I cut the cute frame from the Fabulous Frames dies from Old Olive and cut up some dimensionals to adhere the background to the frame to make the picture. Then I added some glue dots to the background and adhered the picture to the card front.

I stamped the sweet piggy from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the picture with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Basic White and cut it out with the cute label die. I adhered it to the card with bits of dimensionals and glue dots.

I cut the flowers and leaves from Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green card stock using the Playful Piggy dies and the little bird from So Saffron. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered some iridescent gemstones to the flower centers and tucked an Old Olive bow under the frame to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Awash in Beauty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love this little piggy wallowing in the mud! This scene from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set just reminded me of a wonderful lazy day with no responsibilities except having fun doing what you want. I hope your day is like that!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous Beauty Card

Good Morning! I pulled out the pretty Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous photopolymer stamp set for a simple floral note card. I was away and my flower gardens look a little ragged after I returned. They inspired me to make a floral card with Fall colors with this fun 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 Design A Daydream designer series paper to a Cajun Craze card base.

I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves and flowers across the bottom and the side in Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink, Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Rich Razzleberry and Orchid Oasis. I adhered the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and wrapped it with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine and made a bow. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I used the beautiful Brilliant Wings dies to make a butterfly. I cut the two smallest butterflies from Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry card stock and adhered them together with liquid glue before adhering them to the card with a glue dot. I finished the card front with amber faceted gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set across the bottom of a basic white panel, using the same ink colors as the card front. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set is a lot of fun to play with. I did a lot of stamping and experimented with different layouts and ink colors before deciding on this arrangement. I love the different greens with the Crumb Cake and Crushed Curry – it really captures the changing colors of Fall. I had to have some Polished Pink flowers for the pretty late bloomers and the pops of Orchid Oasis brightens the scene. And of course we need a butterfly! Enjoy the Fall gardens!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I have a simple card made with the Nature’s Prints bundle and Sun Prints designer series paper. And I really made it special by adding the beautiful die cut from the Artistic dies. It’s not really a fall theme card, but I hope you like it. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a beautiful panel of Sun Prints designer series paper with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy card base.

I cut a panel of white glimmer paper with the beautiful floral die from the Artistic dies and adhered it to the card front with tiny dots of liquid glue. It’s too bad you can’t see the sparkle from the glimmer paper, because it pops the white flowers in the DSP even more than normal!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints cling stamp set in Versamark ink on Night of Navy. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny and then cut the sentiment out with the pretty label die. I accented the label with an iridescent pearl and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I love the shiny embossed sentiment with the glimmer die cut!

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy ink and stamped it off 3 times. I stamped the flower in the corner of a Basic White panel. I embossed a strip of Sun Prints DSP with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty floral die from the Artistic dies goes beautiful with the elegant Sun Prints DSP! And I love it with the sentiment and label die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous photopolymer stamp set is just that – fabulous! It has the most wonderful sentiments that are so cheerful along with a bunch of solid graphic floral images. Remember the Lovely You stamp set (another of my favorites)? Well these solid florals would go nicely with those, especially because these are larger in scale. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped one of the large daisy like flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Crushed Curry ink in the corners of a Crushed Curry card base. I stamped the flowers and leaves in a line across a Basic White panel. I turned the panel upside down and stamped the flowers and stems again, overlapping in the area under the label.

I stamped the round leaves in Garden Green, the large flowers in Calypso Coral, the flower sprigs in Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry and the small flowers in Real Red. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White strip.

I adhered the label to an Old Olive mat and adhered it to the stamped flowers and leaves panel, covering the overlapping stamped area. I adhered the panel to another Old Olive mat and popped it on the card base with dimensionals. I finished the card front with rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in the corners of the inside panel of the card base, mimicking the front of the card. I stamped the flowers and greenery in the corner of a Basic White panel, using the same color combination as the front of the card and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This is a simple simple card with lots of colorful stamping, but the wonderful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set makes it so happy and cheerful. The stamps can be used in so many ways and the sentiments are already one of my favorites!

Stampin’ Up! Alphabest Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle is a fun alphabet stamp set with a coordinating punch that lets you create one of a kind sentiments in a fun way. I paired it with the beautiful designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle for a bright and cheerful 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 strip of the pretty Wonderful World DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat and adhered it to another DSP panel. I adhered the panel to another Pear Pizzazz mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Polished Pink card base.

I stamped the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest photopolymer stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White. I stamped each letter one at a time and then punched it out with the Best Label punch. I lined up the bottom of the letter with the last notch in the punch and made sure it was centered right to left before punching.

I adhered the letters starting with the ‘o’ with liquid glue so I could wiggle them a little to keep the letters evenly spaced and straight. I finished the front with three iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of the floral Wonderful World DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat. I adhered the layered strip to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This was really fun and it turned out to be fairly easy to line up the letters, even with my wonky vision! My goal was to line up the letters straight, but you can also use a design with letters on different angles. The Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle would also be great to make custom cards spelling out names. The stamp set also has numbers and backgrounds that fit the punch, so it’s very versatile.

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about!

Stampin’ Up! created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog. Click on the picture below to open a flyer with all the details on the dies.

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you will save 10% off the retail price.

Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat bundle to make a Good Day note card. You can find the currently available 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 pretty sketch we are using:

I adhered a panel of Design a Daydream designer series paper to the front of a Mint Macaron card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake with the Fern 3D embossing folder.

I stamped the water from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat cling stamp set in Pool Party on a Basic White panel and used the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to color the grass. I applied Pear Pizzazz ink to the bottom and Pool Party ink to the top of the panel with Blending Brushes. I stamped the cattails and birds in Soft Suede. I adhered the panel to the embossed Crumb Cake panel and adhered the layered panels to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut the grass dies from the Heron dies and adhered all but two of the small grasses with liquid glue. I stamped the standing heron from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card front with pieces of dimensionals and adhered the last two grasses with dimensionals next to the bird. I stamped the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White and used the small label die to cut it out. I made a loopy bow from linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot before adhering it to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the label with a rustic metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the cattails and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Design a Daydream DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love the way the stamped cattails and water look with the die cut grasses in the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat bundle. And the label dies in the set are so cute with the heart cutouts!

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings cling stamp set is wonderful because it has the most used card sentiments in the prettiest fonts and different sizes! I paired it with the beautiful designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle for a simple thinking of 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 Pear Pizzazz panel with the Pretty Flowers 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pear Pizzazz card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Melon Mambo Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World DSP to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch to punch out five small floral images from the Wonderful World designer series paper and selected four to use for the front. I punched out 4 postage stamps from Basic White and adhered the floral images to the front with liquid glue. I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark ink on Pear Pizzazz. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until shiny and cut it out with the long banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the banner to the card front with glue dots and finished it with a Fresh Freesia opal dot.

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a Melon Mambo strip of Wonderful World DSP. I adhered the fifth punched flower to the lower corner and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle is fabulous and the DSP designs are so versatile. I wouldn’t have thought I could make such a pretty card just by punching out pretty flower images! And the sweet sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set are the perfect compliment. But Sale-A-Bration beginning to wind down, so shop soon to make sure you get the items you want before they sell out!

Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! The Rings Of Love designer series paper is a pretty pack of patterned paper that you can get for FREE with an order of $50 (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration! It goes well with the awesome new Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature bundle from the new Mini Catalog and I used them both 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 panel of Crumb Cake with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Rings of Love designer series paper with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangles die and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ringed with Nature stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I punched it out with the Double Oval punch and punched a Night of Navy Scalloped oval. I adhered the two punched pieces together and popped them on the card with dimensionals. I made a quad loop bow from linen thread and adhered it under the label with a glue dot. I finished the label with Starry Sky matte dots.

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of the Rings of Love DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature stamp set has so many pretty images that go great with the beautiful Rings of Love Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. And it has lots of nice sentiments, so you will have a lot of creative fun with both of these products!

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the August Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fall Frenzy” and I am using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle with the sweet Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love designer series paper for a Fall Thinking of You 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 pretty fall leaves Rings of Love designer series paper to a Poppy Parade mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Crushed Curry card base with dimensionals.

I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic photopolymer stamp set in Poppy Parade, stamped off on scratch paper and stamped it on a Basic White panel. I cut it out with the background leaf die from the Chic dies that come in the bundle and adhered a detailed Poppy Parade die cut leaf on top with liquid glue. I used the detailed leaf die to cut leaves from Soft Succulent and So Saffron and adhered all three leaves to the card front with glue dots.

I used the acorn and acorn cap dies from the Tree Rings Dies Hybrid Embossing folder set to cut the acorns from Crumb Cake and Soft Suede card stock and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Crushed Curry card stock. I cut it out with the die from the Painted Labels dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I tied a short length of window pane check ribbon in a knot and adhered it with a glue dot. I finished the card with rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Stamp set in stamped off Evening Evergreen and Crushed Curry in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the pretty Rings of Love DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love designer series paper is so pretty with gorgeous colors and designs that go with so many stamp sets, such as today’s Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic. And you can get it free with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes) through the end of the month during Sale-A-Bration.
