Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I pulled out the beautiful Countryside Inn designer series paper and used it with the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners, Lasting Joy and Petal Park stamp sets and bundles to make a sweet birthday card in pretty shades of blue. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I adhered a strip of the pretty Countryside Inn designer series paper to a Boho Blue mat with liquid glue and adhered it to another panel of Countryside Inn DSP. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I stamped the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners cling stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Boho Blue panel and cut it out with the third largest die.

I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners stamp using Versamark ink on Night of Navy card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut a frame using the third and fourth largest dies. I adhered the frame around the Boho Blue image with liquid glue and adhered it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Night of Navy on Basic White and cut it out with the second smallest die from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners dies. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the detailed flowers trio from the Petal Park photopolymer stamp set in Night of Navy ink on Basic White. I stamped the filler using stamped off Boho Blue ink and punched the flowers out with the Petal Park punch. I adhered the flowers to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I stamped five of the detailed leaves using Night of Navy ink on Balmy Blue and punched them out with the Petal Park punch and adhered them to the card using glue dots. I adhered rhinestones to the flower centers and a Night of Navy Bow to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Petal Park Detailed Flowers in Boho Blue ink and the filler in stamped off Boho Blue ink. I stamped the leaves inn Balmy Blue and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The octagon dies from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners bundle are a perfect backdrop for floral arrangements and the Petal Park flowers are pretty with the Countryside Inn DSP. The DSP is so sweet, it will go well with lots of different stamped or die cut flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Baby Card

Good Morning! The sweet Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers bundle is great for making baby cards and I used it yesterday to share this card at our Inkin’ Krew Team meeting. 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 Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to a Garden Green mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Daffodil Delight card base with dimensionals. I used the large banner die from the Nested Essentials dies to cut a panel of Calypso Coral and embossed it with the polka dots from the Basics 3D embossing folders. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the lion, stars and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the lion with Stampin’ Blends – light Crumb Cake for the lion’s body, dark Calypso Coral for the mane and dark Lemon Lolly for the star. I also colored the little stars with the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend. I cut out the lion and little stars with the coordinating dies and I cut out the sentiment with the smallest rectangle die from the Nested Essentials dies.

I cut out the cloud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers dies and adhered them to the card with liquid glue. I adhered the lion with dimensionals and the label with liquid glue. I adhered the stars with glue dots. I made a knot in a short length of Garden Green ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little stars and colored them with a dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. And I decorated a coordinating envelope with the stars on the front and DSP on the envelope flap.

The sweet Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers bundle is great for baby and children’s cards with the fun, playful critters. With the bold crayon colors of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP, this card could easily be converted to a birthday card with the addition of die cut numbers from the Alphabet A La Mode dies. That would be perfect for a toddler!

Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers Congratulations Card

Good Morning! The sweet Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers bundle has sweet images and dies that are perfect for baby cards. I used Bubble Bath for a baby girl’s card, but you can easily substitute Boho Blue if you want to make a baby boy’s card, or perhaps Soft Sea Foam if it’s a going to be a surprise. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the pretty Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I cut a polka dot vellum panel with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I cut two large clouds and a small one using the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sleeping cow from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers stamp set in Basic Gray ink on Basic White and colored it with the dark Petal Pink and light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers stamp set in Basic Gray ink on Basic White and cut it out with the large banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I trimmed the left end and adhered it with glue dots. I cut four small hearts from Berry Burst card stock using the Give it a Whirl dies and adhered three of them to the card front. I added twinkle gems to each heart.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels photopolymer stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the last Berry Burst die cut heart to the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Little Dreamers bundle is sweet and perfect for babies! I love that there are die cut clouds that you can use in your designs and that they go so well with the cute critters.

Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy photopolymer stamp set to use with the Countryside Corners bundle to make a card inspired by a handmade box from the new Annual Catalog for my card today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge for our Blog Hop this week and it was fun to adapt the colors to our Hop color pallette:

I embossed a Crumb Cake panel with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue. I stamped the image from the Countryside Corners cling stamp in Crumb Cake ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the second largest Countryside corners dies.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White. I stamped the large flowers in Pumpkin Pie and the small flowers in Petal Pink. I stamped the stems in Lemon Lime Twist – sometimes I inked up the whole stamp and sometimes I just inked up one section – until all the flowers were connected. I stamped a few long leaf branches in Crumb Cake. I cut the panel with the third largest die from the Countryside Corners dies and adhered it to the Pool Party die cut with liquid glue.

I cut the smallest banner from the Countryside Corners dies from Pool Party and adhered it to the panel. I cut the small leaves and flowers from the Dainty Delight dies from Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist card stock and adhered them to the banner and then adhered the banner to the die cut floral panel. I adhered a length of folded ribbon to the back of the panel and adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set in the corners of a Basic White panel. I used the same ink colors as the floral die cut panel and left plenty of room to write a personal message. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set go with the designs in the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder. The sentiments in the stamp set are also sweet and in a pretty font making them good for lots of occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies CAS Card

Good Morning! The pretty Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle is a versatile bundle that is so fun to play with and I was inspired by the colorful Gerbera Daisies in the stores to make a card full of colorful flowers. I stamped the petals in each flower in two different colors to create this CAS (clean and simple) 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 Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ to compensate for the embossing shrinkage. I adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the large daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies photopolymer stamp set three times on Basic White. One daisy uses Real Red for the detail stamp and Sweet Sorbet for the filler. Another uses Daffodil Delight for the detail stamp and Lemon Lolly for the filler. The last uses Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath. I stamped the centers all in stamped off Pecan Pie and cut them out with the large outline die. I adhered the pink and yellow flowers with glue dots and popped the red one on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and trimmed the ends with my paper snip. I tied a bow with white baker’s twine and adhered it to the card and adhered the label on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with rhinestone jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large daisy from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Real Red and Sweet Sorbet in the bottom corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the center in stamped off Pecan Pie and I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set makes beautiful flowers, even without the fancy die cuts. The two step stamping is pretty easy to do and it’s a lot of fun to play with different color combinations. I think this would have been pretty with all red daisies too – maybe next time.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. I used the wonderful new Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle with the beautiful Earthen Elegance designer series paper for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. These are new products with the rustic feel of handmade pottery. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I stamped the thin branch stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures cling stamp set using Wild Wheat ink several times across the top and bottom of the front of a Wild Wheat card base. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance designer series paper to a Pebbled Path mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a Pretty Peacock panel of Earthen Elegance DSP with the tall vase die from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I cut the palm branch from Old Olive card stock and the sticks from Cajun Craze and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the medium pot from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Gray Granite card stock. I cut it out with the coordinating die and wrapped three short lengths of Natural wavy trim around it, securing it in the back with Stampin’ Seal. I covered it with scotch tape to keep it in place and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I cut the short pot from distressed gold paper and backed it with a white die cut and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card front with three Wild Wheat dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the thin branch from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in stamped off Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White. I stamped the wheat in stamped off Wild Wheat ink over it and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the natural textures and handmade feel of the stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle and the Earthen Elegance DSP. The pots or vases are wonderful stamped or just cut from pretty designer series paper, and the sentiments are sweet and done in a wonderful font.

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves photopolymer stamp set is a wonderful new two step stamp set with leaves, flowers and beautiful sentiments. It coordinates with the returning bough punch and I used them both with the Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper for a 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 striped panel of Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper to the top of a Garden Green mat and a floral panel to the bottom. I wrapped a length of Wild Wheat ribbon around the seam, securing it in the back and popped it on the front of a Crushed Curry card base with dimensionals.

I stamped two of the large single leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on Basic White and fussy cut them with my paper snips. I stamped two of the flower bunches in Daffodil Delight ink on Basic White and punched them out with the Bough punch. I punched the leaf cluster from Garden Green and adhered the leaves and flowers to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Garden Green ink on Daffodil Delight card stock and cut it out with the small rectangle from the Something Fancy dies. I used the medium die to cut a Garden Green mat and adhered the label to the mat with liquid glue. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals and adhered some green tinsel gems to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up[ Layering Leaves stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set are the most beautiful and really dress up a handmade card! I love that there are so many variations of flowers and leaves in this set that also coordinate with the sweet Bough Punch. A great addition to my crafting collection!

Stampin’ Up! Beside Me for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Father’s Day is coming up so I pulled out the sweet Stampin’ Up! Beside Me cling stamp set for a Father’s Day card. This is perfect with the new Lets Go Fishing designer series paper! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I adhered the fish panel from the Lets Go Fishing designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I stamped the fishing family and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla.

I cut the image out with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangles die and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Crumb Cake on the deck, light Blueberry Bushel on the pants, light Pool Party, Wild Wheat and Petal Pink on the shirts, light Pecan Pie on the hair and light Petal Pink on the skin. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat with liquid glue and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Copper Clay and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut two banners from Let’s Go Fishing DSP using the All That dies and adhered them to the back of the label before adhering it to the card. I finished with three Rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Beside Me stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla. I trimmed the side with a strip of Lets Go Fishing DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Going fishing with your Dad is a such a wonderful childhood memory – especially when the fish are biting!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Love Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow cling stamp set and Meadows dies are favorites with sweet sentiments, pretty flowers and gorgeous floral dies. I paired the stamps and dies with the new Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a fresh take on these favorites. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat and popped it on the front of a Calypso Coral card base.

I used the fern die from the Meadows dies to cut a Lost Lagoon panel and I used the flower die to cut a Petal Pink panel. I adhered the die cut fern to the card with dots of liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Lost Lagoon card stock and cut it out with the little tag die.

I looped a length of Linen Thread through the tag and tied it to the die cut flower stem. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots on the stem and dimensionals on the flower. I secured the little tag with a dimensional and finished the card front with Pastel Iridescent Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Petal Pink ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I inked the spatter stamp with Lost Lagoon ink and stamped off twice before stamping over the flower. I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The wildflowers in the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper go great with the die cut flowers from the Meadows dies and I love it when new products go so well with old favorites! I also stamped the side of a Basic White with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow flowers to match the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Thank You Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is a great little flora bundle with wonderful sentiments to express gratitude and love. It has the sweetest label dies and is perfectly designed to surround a sentiment label with a spray of flowers and greenery. I paired the bundle with a dainty floral print from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper pack for a simple Thank You card for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to an Old Olive mat and cut a circle from polka dot vellum with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the vellum to the panel with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements photopolymer stamp set in Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut it out with the smallest label die.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I colored it with light Bubble Bath and light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the back of the label with a glue dot.

I cut the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements dies from Old Olive and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I adhered a bow made with the Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon to the panel with a glue dot and adhered the layered label on top with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the front of a Bubble Bath card base and finished it with three tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the circles in Bubble Bath ink around the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is perfect for making beautifully framed sentiments, but it’s also great for a simple embellishment to make a sentiment extra special.
