Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Christmas Card

Good Morning! I want to share another quick Christmas Card made with the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. But this time I’m using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set for my sentiments. This stamp set has one of the most beautiful ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiments and I stamped it directly on the beautiful DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of More Dazzle specialty 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and adhered it to a Real Red mat.

I wrapped a length of Real Red ribbon around the panel and tied a knot on the side, securing it with a glue dot. I popped the panel on the front of the card with dimensionals and finished the card with three gold snowflakes.

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 used the pine trees from the Grassy Grove stamp set, using stamped off Mossy Meadow ink to accent the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Another quick Christmas Card finished thanks to the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. The beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set gold embossed on the DSP balances the shine from the More Dazzle specialty paper and helps to make this a special Christmas card that anyone would love to receive.

Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle is one of the best ever for making cards for fishing fanatics! The two-step stamping makes it real easy to create cute fishing tackle and the tackle box dies are fabulous. I stamped some tackle and paired it with the wonderful Lets Go Fishing designer series paper for a simple Z-Fold birthday card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

After folding the Very Vanilla card base, I adhered panels of Let’s Go Fishing Designer series paper to Pebbled Path mats and adhered each panel to a section of the card base. I used a different pattern for each section to show off this pretty DSP.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangles die and cut another DSP pattern with the 5th largest die. I adhered them together and adhered it to the front flap with liquid glue. I stamped the bobber, fly and lure from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla. I stamped the bottom of the bobber in Real Red and the inside of the lure in Granny Apple Green and colored the fly with light Misty Moonlight and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends. I cut them all out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and cut it out with the small label die from the Something Fancy dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I poked a hole in the top of the bobber and tied some fishing line to it and wrapped it around the back. I popped the bobber on the card front with dimensionals and finished with Misty Moonlight Tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I cut a plain panel of Let’s Go Fishing DSP with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to the inside panel I cut the silver lure from foil and adhered the lures and fly to the side with glue dots.

The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle has so many different and great pieces of fishing tackle stamps and you can make just a few of them to add to the pretty Let’s Go Fishing DSP for a simple card that is really pretty. Or you can go all out and make a tackle box card like the one I made for Father’s Day here.

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Darling Details bundle is a sweet two-step stamping set with Distinktive stamps so you get different shades with the background stamps – so pretty! I paired it with a simple stripe pattern from the Les Shoppes designer series paper for a Birthday card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I used liquid glue to adhere a the Les Shoppes designer series paper to the front of a Calypso Coral card base. For the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details flowers and leaves, I stamped the detailed stamp full strength and the background stamp in the same color after stamping off. I stamped all of the flowers and leaves on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies (Yay for dies!)

I stamped the large flower in Calypso Coral ink and two of the medium flowers using Lemon Lolly ink. I stamped 5 of the small flower using Petal Pink – these were only 1 step. I stamped three of the leaf branch in Lost Lagoon (also 1 step) and 7 of the single leafs in Lemon Lime Twist using the two step method. I adhered the leaf branches and medium flowers with glue dots and tucked the smaller leaves and flowers under the petals and around the outside, adhering them with dots of liquid glue. I popped the large flower on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details photopolymer stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Lemon Lime Twist and cut it out with the banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I made a bow with Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim (from the upcoming Sept-Dec Mini Catalog, available Sept 6) and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I popped the label on top with dimensionals and glue dots and finished with Calypso Coral Pastel Iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details stamp set in Calypso Coral in the corner of a Basic White panel. I covered it with a mask and stamped the leaf branch in Lost Lagoon and the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist. I stamped the little flowers in Petal Pink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Darling Details stamp set are really cute and wonderful to play with. And I still have to play with the gorgeous lacy dies – next card!

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest 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 used the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest cling stamp set to make a friendship card for our hop today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock cuts.

I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals designer series paper to a Garden Green mat and adhered it to the front of a Crushed Curry card base. I stamped the large apple branch from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest cling stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel.

I used watercolor pencils to color the image. I used Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler on the apples, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso on the branches and Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Garden Green on the leaves. I took my time and colored each section, going over it several times to blend the colors and get the color intensity I wanted.

I used the 4th largest Deckled Rectangles die to cut the bottom and sides of the image, leaving a straight edge on the top. I popped the apples on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped a second image and colored the small apple and the leaves over the apples and fussy cut them with my paper snips. I used my Early Espresso Stampin’ Write marker to color the edges and popped the small apple on the card with dimensionals. I curved the leaves with my bone folder and adhered the stems and base to the card with liquid glue. This gives it a lot of dimension!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set in Garden Green ink on Very Vanilla. I cut it out with the coordinating label die from the Apple Blossom dies. These dies are currently available on the Clearance Rack at a huge discount, so now is a great time to pick them up! I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with Rustic Metallic dots and a Linen Thread bow

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large apple from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel and colored it with watercolor pencils like the apples on the card front. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love going apple picking in the fall (fresh picked apples are the best!) and I’m lucky to have wonderful orchards nearby. My apple pies are usually terrible – too runny with mushy crusts – so I make apple crisp and applesauce. I think it will be time to go apple picking soon and I can’t wait!

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Birthday Card

Good Morning! One of my favorites from the last Winter Mini Catalog was the Stampin’ Up Dainty Delight bundle. Happily, the stamp set and dies carried over into the Annual Catalog, so they are still available and I pulled them out to make a floral Birthday Card for today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a panel of leafy vellum with the second largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I adhered a panel of Boho Blue Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper to a Pebbled Path mat and built my flower bouquet on it.

I cut a three each of the small daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight dies from the white Textured Specialty paper. I cut three each of the stems and leaf pairs from Mossy Meadow and cut two sets of flower centers from Daffodil Delight. I adhered the stems to the DSP panel with liquid glue and adhered the flower centers to the petals. I popped the flowers on with dimensionals and tucked the leaves under the flowers, adhering them with liquid glue.

I adhered the decorated DSP panel to the card front with dimensionals. I made a Linen Thread bow and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Pebbled Path on a Basic White strip and punched the ends with the Banners Pick A Punch. I popped it on the card with dimensionals and finished the card front with brass butterflies.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Boho Blue ink on Basic White. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set in stamped off Pebbled Path around the edge of the panel and colored them with light Moody Mauve, light Mossy Meadow and light Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to a Pebbled Path mat and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up Dainty Delight stamp set and dies are really small and sweet. They are so pretty when die cut from specialty paper because of the extra sparkle. And who wouldn’t love to receive a birthday card with a daisy bouquet and butterflies at this time of year?

Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View Hello Card

Good Morning! The whimsical birdies in the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye photopolymer stamp set are so cute, especially with the glasses on! I finally picked up this stamp set and had to use it so I could color a little bird and I paired it with a sentiment from the Biggest Wish 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 Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I embossed a strip of Bubble Bath card stock with the Cross Hatch 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front and wrapped a length of Bubble Bath ribbon around the card front and made a bow.

I cut a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP with the 3rd largest Countryside Corners die and cut a frame from Misty Moonlight card stock using the 3rd and 4th largest dies. I stamped the little bird and the stack of books from the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Misty Moonlight, light Bubble Bath and light Fresh Freesia on the little bird. I used the color lifter to lighten the bird behind the glasses. I used Calypso Coral, Wild Wheat, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock , Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate on the Books.

I fussy cut the bird and books using my Paper Snips. I adhered the books on the Delightfully Eclectic DSP die cut with liquid glue and adhered the frame over it with strips of dimensionals. I popped the cute bird on with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Crushed Curry on Basic White and fussy cut it with my Paper Snips. I popped it on the frame with dimensionals and glue dots and popped the frame on the card front with dimensionals. I trimmed the bow strings and secured the bow with another glue dot and finished with rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little bird from the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t the bird so cute? The Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set has three other birds and in addition to the books, theres a branch, leaves and balloon stamp that you can use to make a cute little scene. Oh, and there’s another set of glasses that are a little more stylish – but I like them both!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Card

Good Morning! The pretty Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels cling stamp set is full of unique and wonderful sentiments and it’s one of my favorites. I paired it with the Paper Florist dies and and used the Foursquare masks to make a pretty background. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used the fancy mask in the Foursquare mask pack to cover a Basic White panel and secured it with post-it tape. I applied Moody Mauve ink with my blending brush all over, making some areas darker. Next, I used the smaller ‘X’ mask to apply Lemon Lime Twist ink with a blending brush – the ‘X’s line up in the center of the fancy squares. I ran the panel through the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder to add texture and used a sponge dauber to add Moody Mauve ink around the edges. I adhered the panel to the front of a Moody Mauve card base with liquid glue.

I used the large elongated label die from the Something Fancy dies to cut a Moody Mauve panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels dies in Moody Mauve ink on a Basic White panel. I cut it out with the smaller elongated label die and adhered it to the large die cut with liquid glue. I adhered the layered label to the card with liquid glue.

I cut a Bubble Bath panel with the Paper Florist die and applied some Moody Mauve ink to the centers of the large petal clusters with a sponge dauber. I used a Bone Folder to curve the petals down and adhered the clusters together with liquid glue. I cut centers from Basic White and Daffodil Delight and adhered them to the flower. I popped the flower on the card with dimensionals. I cut two leaves from Lemon Lime Twist card stock and tucked them under the flower with a glue dot. I finished the card with a Parakeet Party Baker’s twine bow and Lemon Lime Twist tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels stamp set in Moody Mauve ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I cut the hearts from the Share A Milkshake dies from Bubble Bath and adhered them next to the sentiment. I made a strip of Basic White to match the front background and used it to trim the bottom of the panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It’s fun to use masks for creating different backgrounds and playing with different coloring techniques! I was happy to use my pretty background with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels stamp set – it’s an easy go-to for friendly and caring sentiments.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is such a pretty set with it’s die cut flowers and leaves that go with the pretty labels and all the wonderful sentiments! I paired it with the pretty Countryside Inn designer series paper and Countryside Blossoms embossing folder to make a sweet Thank 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 panel of Boho Blue card stock with the pretty Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of Countryside Inn DSP with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and adered it to the card front.

I cut a Night of Navy panel with the large leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements dies. I cut two of the small leaf sprigs from Night of Navy and adhered them to the large die cut bar. I used a blending brush to apply Boho Blue ink to BasicWhite panel and cut three flower clusters. I adhered the flower clusters to the Night of Navy leaf sprig die cuts with liquid glue. I stamped two flowers in Boho Blue ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the ends of the die cut and adhered the die cut to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Night of Navy ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small label die. I adhered the die to the card with dimensionals over the die foliage. I made a bow with Night of Navy ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Boho Blue ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Countryside Inn DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle easily makes a fancy and beautiful card! Add a little patterned paper and embossing and you have a beautiful card that anyone would love to receive.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I pulled out the sweet One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper again to use with the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made bundle for a simple friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week and I used the torn edge dies from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made bundle to change it up a bit:

I used liquid glue to adhere a strip of patterned One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper to the right side of the front of a Crumb Cake card base.

I cut the right side of a Copper Clay panel with the torn edge die from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made dies and adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (the one with the sweet fox) to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made cling stamp set in Copper Clay ink and cut it out with the jagged edge label die. I adhered a loopy Linen Thread bow to the back of the label with a glue dot and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Copper Clay dots.

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the side of a Basic White panel with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the images in the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series pack and they work just as well for a Christmas card as as any occasion.
