Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Joy Christmas Card

Good Morning! Here’s another simple Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set and Labels Aglow dies. I paired these items with the pretty deer pattern in the Winter Meadow designer series paper for a quick and easy Christmas card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Basic White with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of the Winter Meadow designer series paper to a panel of Silver Foil and popped the layered DSP onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel and sprinkled it with silver embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the circle label die from the Labels Aglow dies and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered a bow to the label with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Pretty designer series paper makes it so easy to create elegant simple handmade Christmas cards. Especially when paired with the beautiful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say Feel Better Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies have wonderful layered sentiments for a variety of occasions. I used the Feel Better Soon sentiment with the Garden Walk and One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series papers for a quick get well card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a floral strip of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base and tied a length of Calypso Coral ribbon around the card and made a bow.

I used the Feel Better Soon sentiment dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies to cut a Wild Wheat backing and Poppy Parade detailed letters. I adhered the detailed letters to the backing with liquid glue and adhered the layered words to the card front with dimensionals. The great thing is that the words are all one piece!

I accented the front with three Garden Green iridescent pearls. So quick and easy!

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of Garden Walk DSP to the side of a Very Vanilla panel. I cut the stem and leaves from Mossy Meadow and flower from Poppy Parade using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies. I adhered them to the inside panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This mix of designer series papers are perfect for fall and makes a cheerful get well card. And I was so surprised when I realized that this card has no stamping – the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies do all the work!

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Grateful Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths photopolymer stamp set and coordinating Country Wreaths dies are a great set for making wreath cards. The weather has gotten cold and I wanted to make some Fall themed cards, so I pulled these out and combined them with the Inked And Tiled stamp set to make a Thanksgiving card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a plaid panel of Them Bones designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue. I wanted a floral panel to coordinate, but the Them Bones DSP only had bats and skeletons, so I decided to make one. I stamped a Pumpkin Pie panel with the flower from the Inked and Tiled stamp set in Cajun Craze ink. I stamped randomly all over the panel. I stamped the little fluff stamp in stamped off Pebbled Path ink randomly around the panel. Finally I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Cajun Craze mat. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on the bottom of a Crumb Cake panel and cut it out with the tag die from the Merriest Trees dies. I cut a Cajun Craze panel with the wreath from the Country Wreath dies and adhered it to the tag with a glue dot. I looped a length of Pebbled Path jute through the tag hole and tied a knot and popped the tag on the card front with dimensionals.

I used my dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to color a length of gingham ribbon and tied a bow. I adhered the bow to the top of the wreath with a glue dot – I love how it picks up on the plaid background! I finished the wreath with Pebbled Path gems.

I left the inside of the card blank, and just adhered a strip of Plaid DSP to the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This was a fun diversion from Christmas cards. Making your own DSP is always fun, and it’s great that I’m able to match ink colors to DSP and get a look that coordinates well. And I’m glad that I was able to use the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set again, it’s one of my favorites!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Joy Of Noel bundle with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a gate fold Christmas card. And I also used the pretty holiday greenery frame from the Christmas Classics dies to really make it fancy. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and thanks to the pretty designer series paper, I managed to get all the colors in my card!

I adhered the floral panels of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to Shaded Spruce mats and adhered them to the two front flaps of a Real Red gatefold card base. I cut a mottled Shaded Spruce panel of the DSP with the pretty square greenery frame from the Christmas Classics dies. I cut a red plaid panel of the DSP with the small square die and adhered them together with liquid glue.

I stamped the NOEL letters from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White. I cut the letters out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the DSP frame with liquid glue. I applied liquid glue to the back left side of the frame and adhered it to the card front, so that it sticks only to the left flap of the card front.

I stamped the Joyous sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I fussy cut around the letters with my paper snips and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped part of the small spray from the Stampin’ Up! Joy Of Noel stamp set in the corner using Pebbled Path ink and colored it with Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card. I also adhered red plaid panels of Joy of Christmas DSP to the inside of the front flaps.

The Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel bundle has beautiful greenery stamps and dies and the NOEL stamp is just gorgeous! It goes so well with the Christmas Classics bundle and is perfect with the Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a beautiful traditional Christmas card.

Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the November Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set and coordinating Reindeer dies to make a Christmas card. I paired it with the pretty One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper for a rustic woodland look. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a panel of woodgrain One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the bottom of a woodland scene with liquid glue and adhered the layered DSP panel to a Lost Lagoon mat. I wrapped a length of gold ribbon around the seam and tied a bow. I popped the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty Merry Christmas sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the label die from the Autumn Leaves dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I cut the reindeer from Pebbled Path card stock using the die from the Reindeer dies that coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set. I popped the reindeer on the card with dimensionals, cutting them small to fit behind the hooves and antlers.

I adhered a large red rhinestones to the label and adhered some small ones to the pine tree in the DSP with bits of glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped snow around the top in Pool Party ink and adhered a strip of DSP to the side before adhering the Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is one of my favorites for Christmas this year and the Stampin’ Up! Regal Reindeer sentiments are so pretty with it – and I love the Reindeer die cut!

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Last weekend Stampin’ Up! had the On Stage At Home event, celebrating demonsrators’ achievements, Stampin’ Up!’s 35th Anniversary and introducing the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog. And we made Valentine cards with the new Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle that will be available when the new mini catalog launches on January 4, 2024. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who attended the virtual event were able to purchase the Bee Mine suite early so we could participate in the craft along part. This included the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle, Bee Mine designer series paper, Sweet Sorbet bordered ribbon, and adhesive backed flowers and hearts. These are my versions of the sample cards we made and I made some changes to personalize the cards.

The first card uses the honeycomb stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and Daffodil Delight ink to give texture to a Daffodil Delight panel. I embossed it with the dots embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Daffodil Delight card base. I adhered two panels of Bee Mine DSP and stamped the bee in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White. I punched the bee out with the Bee Builder Punch and assembled the bee with liquid glue before popping it on the DSP with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink on Petal Pink and adhered some ribbon to the back with glue dots before adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished with some flower and heart embellishments.

For our second card, I adhered some Bee Mine DSP to a Basic White panel. I stamped the bee trail from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in stamped off Pool Party ink on a Pool Party panel and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the panel to the layered DSP panel and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the bee in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the antenna in Memento Tuxedo Black and the wings in Pool Party. I used a water painter to give the wings a quick Pool Party color wash before cutting everything out with the Bee Builder Punch. I assembled the bee with liquid glue and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished with the pretty hearts and flowers embellishments.

Here are the insides of the cards. I stamped the sentiments, hearts and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle in Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White panels. I adhered the panels to the inside of the cards with Stampin’ Seal.

It was fun to play with new products and these cards are sweet and relatively easy to make. The Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set has so many different sentiments and designs, so it’s pretty versatile! Here’s the bundle with the stamp set and punch.

It was great to see and play with the new products that will be available on January 4, 2024 when the new mini catalog launches. January will be exciting with so many pretty new items! But now I need to get back to Christmas cards!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the pretty Z-fold cards that use gorgeous scenic designer series paper for the card front? I used the sentiments from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper to make one for today. You can find the currently products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I started by cutting 3/4″ off the top of a 6″ x 6″ One Horse Open Sleigh panel so that it was 5-1/4″ x 6″. Then I cut 2″ off the right side so that I had a right side 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the card front and a 2″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the inside of the card. Since I chose a simple, serene icy blue landscape, I decided to dress it up a bit by adding some silver embossed trees.

I stamped the tree from the Horse and Sleigh stamp set in Versamark ink twice on the large panel and once on the small panel. I sprinkled the stamped trees with silver embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the large DSP panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue by applying the glue to the left half of the embossed panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on the right side of a Basic White panel and adhered the small embossed One Horse Open Sleigh DSP panel to the left side. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue and checked to make sure it was covered by the front DSP panel when the card was closed.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White strip and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered some adhesive strip to the back of a silver foil panel and cut the tree from the Horse and Sleigh dies. I peeled off the adhesive back and adhered it to the card front.

I tied a knot in a length of silver and white sheer ribbon and adhered it to the label with a glue dot. I adhered snowflakes and silver pearls to the card to finish.

Making a fun fold is a great way to make a handmade card extra special and this is a super simple design, especially when you have beautiful scenic designer series paper. I love how the back of the paper is also part of the card design. And the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set with it’s beautiful sentiments are the perfect compliment!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Christmas Card

Good Morning! Here’s another Christmas card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle and the pretty Joy of Christmas designer series paper. This card adds lots of gold touches from the ribbon, More Dazzle & Joyful specialty papers. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Garden Green with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the right side of a Real Red mat. I adhered a strip of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to the left side and a thin strip of More Dazzle specialty paper in the middle. I popped the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals.

I used the pine bough die from the Joy of Noel dies to cut three boughs from the gold woodgrain paper from the Joyful specialty paper pack and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped two pine boughs from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Versamark ink on Garden Green card stock. I sprinkled them with gold embossing powder and heated it with my heat tool until the powder was bright and shiny. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

Iused the smaller holly die from the Magical Meadow dies to cut two holly heaves from Basic White and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I fussy cut the sentiment with my paper snips. I applied Stampin’ Seal to the back of the sentiment and wrapped it with gold trim, simulating a bow. I adhered the sentiment to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished with large red rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the Merry in Memento Tuxedo Black and the Christmas in Real Red. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics are full of Christmas warmth and are perfect with the traditional colors of the Joy of Christmas designer series paper. The pine boughs in are pretty, both stamped and die cut and they work so well together!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle has wonderful Christmas sentiments with gorgeous foliage die cut label frames. I used one of the frames and sentiments with the pretty Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a festive Seasons Greetings Christmas card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I cut a panel of More Dazzle specialty paper with the two open leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics dies. I cut the holly leaf twice from a Shaded Spruce panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper. I cut the large foliage label from Garden Green and the berries from Real Red. I trimmed the berries and adhered them to the foliage on the label.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White and cut it out with the long label die. I adhered the label to the foliage label with liquid glue. I embossed a Garden Green panel with the pretty Distressed Tile embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Garden Green card base. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to a Real Red mat and and adhered it to the card front.

I adhered die cut sprigs and holly leaves to the card with liquid glue and popped the layered label on top with dimensionals. I used glue dots to adhere a real Red bow and red rhinestones to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle really make your handmade Christmas cards stunning! Christmas is coming up fast, so I need to get to work to finish in time.

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow bundle has pretty winter greenery stamps and dies and I used it today with the beautiful Winter Meadow designer series paper for a Thinking of You card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I used most of the colors in my card:

I also used the pretty sketch from the TGIF #442 Sketch Challenge for today’s layered card:

I adhered a panel of Winder Meadow designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushed card base. I adhered two more panels to Misty Moonlight mats and adhered the larger one to the card base with liquid glue.

I cut a Lost Lagoon panel twice with the sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow dies. I cut the sprigs with my paper snips and adhered them to the top and bottom of the DSP panel as pictured below. I used the berry dies to cut a Moody Mauve panel and adhered the berries to the sprigs with liquid glue.

I inked the leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow cling stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Garden Green ink in areas. I stamped it on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I made another die cut leaf sprig and adhered them both to the card with liquid glue.

I adhered the small DSP panel to the card with dimensionals over the die cut greenery. I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set using Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small forest scene from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink across the bottom of a Basic White panel. I used a Blender Pen to smear the edges of the stamped images and apply Misty Moonlight ink to highlight some of the forest. I love the way this tied the inside to the small DSP panel on the card front. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I love the different stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow bundle and I love the way it coordinates with the Winter Meadow DSP!
