Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Gratitude Card

Good Morning! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle for a thank you card today and featured the beautiful Earthen Elegance designer series paper for my vase. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Crumb Cake panel with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. I adhered a panel of Earthen Textures designer series paper to a Copper Clay mat and adhered it to the card. I made a fishtail banner from a Pretty Peacock strip of the DSP and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the ‘X’ motif die from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures dies from Pebbled Path card stock and adhered it to the card.

I stamped the wheat from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the palm branch die from Old Olive and two of the stick bundle dies from Copper Clay. I cut the medium vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP – I love how this looks like a real pottery vase! I adhered a stick bundle, the wheat and the palm branch to the card with liquid glue and popped the vase over it with dimensionals.

I adhered the second bundle of sticks over the bottom of the vase with liquid glue and skinny cut up dimensionals. I adhered a length of Natural Wavy trim with glue dots and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP. I trimmed the label with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I finished the card with Copper Clay In Color dots to add some shine.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wheat from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on the sides of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP. I adhered the panel to a Copper Clay mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle! You can make so many natural arrangements that are full of rich texture! And it gets even better when combined with the Earthen Elegance DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Hello Card

Good Morning! I was playing with the beautiful Countryside Inn designer series paper and it struck me that I should use it with my new Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made bundle! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered adhered a panel of Countryside Inn designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I cut both sides of a strip of Countryside Inn DSP with the jagged edge die from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made dies and adhered the strip to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the branch from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made cling stamp set in Boho Blue ink on a Basic White panel. I used a blending Brush to apply some Boho Blue ink to the panel and stamped the faded newsprint in Gray Granite. I cut the top with the spiral notebook die. I also cut the top of a Countryside Inn panel with the die and adhered the DSP to the stamped panel. I cut a Boho Blue card stock panel with the leaf die and adhered the die cut leaf to the layered panel before popping it on the card front with dimensionals.

I made a bow with a single strand of Boho Blue jute and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made stamp set inn Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the jagged label die. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished the card front with Misty Moonlight tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the branch from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made cling stamp set in Boho Blue ink on the sides 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! Gorgeously Made bundle is beautiful and I’m happy to see that it is just as beautiful with a different designer series paper in a different color palette.

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Congratulations for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle for a congratulations card today, and I used both the beautiful stamp set and both punches! 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 – perfect with the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper:

I stamped the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set using stamped off Lost Lagoon ink randomly on a plaid panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I adhered a panel of Crushed Curry Inked Botanicals DSP across the front with liquid glue and adhered the layered pannel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Calypso Coral mat. I used the punches from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle to punch 6 shapes from different designs in the Inked Botanicals DSP. I arranged them on the embossed panel and adhered the ‘x’ punched shapes with liquid glue. I adhered the star punched shapes with dimensionals to the embossed panel.

I popped the embossed panel onto the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Daffodil Delight strip. I punched the ends with the ‘x’ punch and adhered a folded length of Pool Party ribbon to the back with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished with iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set using stamped off Calypso Coral ink randomly around the edges of a Basic White panel. 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 how the punches in the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle fit together – it’s like a quilt pattern. What a great way to show off the different designs in pretty designer series paper!

On with the Hop! Click on the Next Blog button to move forward to see the beautiful project Karen Ksenzakovic has created.

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Friendship Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is a monotone friendship card in yellow and gold using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched cling stamp set. I’ve paired the cotton ball image with some Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Crushed Curry and Wild Wheat card stock to get a natural look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I made a video tutorial for this card and posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

Adhere a panel of Crushed Curry Inked Botanicals DSP to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with liquid glue. Stamp the cotton ball image from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Wild Wheat panel. After the ink dries, color the cotton balls with a white watercolor pencil. This gives the cotton a soft highlight! Adhere the stamped panel to a Crushed Curry mat with liquid glue.

Wrap a length of Wild Wheat jute around the panel and tie a knot. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Crushed Curry strip. Use paper snips to make a fishtail banner on one end. Adhere the label to the stamped panel with glue dots.

Cut a panel of leafy vellum with the leaf sprig die from the Gorgeously Made dies and adhere it to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the die cut to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the stamped panel to the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty images from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set are perfect for stamping on card stock and coloring with watercolor pencils. The result is softer than coloring with markers and it’s pretty easy to do. I hope you like the colors – I don’t think that they’re for everyone, but I do like the way the card came out. Experimenting with different colors is a big part of the fun!

Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Hello Card

Good Morning! Here is a simple hello card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves photopolymer stamp set with the Glorious Gingham designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Berry Burst panel of Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Berry Burst card base. I used the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a leafy panel of Vellum Basics paper and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped two leaf sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White and punched them out with the coordinating Bough Punch. I stamped three flower sprigs in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and punched them out. I adhered the leaves and flowers to the card front with dots of liquid glue. I adhered a loopy Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon bow with a glue dot to the bottom of the sprigs.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Versamark ink on Berry Burst card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. Ii heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Cheerful Daisies die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Berry Burst tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves in Berry Burst ink on Basic White. I covered it with a punched mask and stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink on top. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Glorious Gingham DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper has fresh gingham designs that are pretty for simple backgrounds. And they’re a perfect backdrop for the beautiful sentiments and flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set!

Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The fireflies are out now in my backyard, so I was inspired to bring out the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way photopolymer stamp set and dies to make a summer card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

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

I adhered a fern panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Lost Lagoon mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the lantern from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I traced the lantern on a Vellum panel and cut it out with my paper snips. I stamped the large light in Lemon Lolly on the trimmed vellum and adhered it to the back of the lantern with glue dots.

I cut the large and small fireflies from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I also cut the large wings from vellum and large body from Lemon Lolly and assembled the large firefly with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots. I took a single strand of Pebbled Path jute and looped it through the lantern handle before adhering it with dimensionals. I adhered the small fireflies with glue dots and the large firefly with dimensionals. I finished the card front with faceted dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small firefly from the Stampin’ Up! Lightning The Way stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I stamped the small light in stamped off Lemon Lolly and stamped the firefly trail in full strength Lemon Lolly. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set and dies make a pretty card for summer nights. The sentiments are inspirational and full of positive energy and the firefly stamps and dies are wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the July Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fun Fold” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set to make a simple accordion tri-fold friendship card for our hop!

I adhered a Calypso Coral panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Calypso Coral card base. I scored a Crushed Curry mini card base in a mountain/valley manner to create the tri-fold accordion and adhered it to the center of card base with liquid glue. I adhered the smaller panels of Inked Botanicals DSP to the left and middle panels of the mini card.

I used the dies from the Timeless Arrangements die set to cut foliage for the mini card front. I applied liquid adhesive to the bars connecting the sprigs to build the layers. I cut two long leaf sprig sets and two leaf clusters from Old Olive. I adhered the leaf clusters to the right side of the sprig sets with liquid glue.

I cut two floral sets from Calypso Coral and adhered them on top of the Old Olive leaf sets with liquid glue. I cut two berry sprig sets from Petal Pink and adhered them to the layered die cuts with liquid glue. I love how easy it is to build up the floral bouquets with the solid bars – the spacing is perfect!

I adhered the two sets of layered die cuts to the mini card, centering them and spacing the bars 1/2″ apart. I cut 4 floral sprigs (with holes) from Daffodil Delight and adhered them to the layered die cuts with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and cut it out with the large label die from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I cut a leaf sprig from Old Olive and a floral sprig from Daffodil Delight and adhered them to the side of the sentiment with liquid glue and adhered the label to the mini card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Lemon Lime Twist tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink. i used a Sponge Dauber to apply Calypso Coral ink to the center and stamped the flower on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink next to the flower and used stamped off Petal Pink to stamp a light wood grain design under the sentiment.

The Timeless Arrangements dies make such sweet arrangements and they go so well with the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set and Inked Botanicals designer series paper.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle is such a pretty set! I love watercolor floral stamps because it makes it so easy to get a beautiful look and this set comes with dies that you can cut out your pretty stamped images. Plus you also get gorgeous foliage dies to set off your pretty stamped flowers! So I made a card with the set and using a Crumb Cake background. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped two large flowers from the Stampin Up! Textured Floral photopolymer stamp set in Calypso Coral on Basic White. I stamped the centers in Pebbled Path and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I stamped a medium flower in Lemon Lolly ink on Basic White and two of the small flowers in Petal Pink. I stamped the centers in Crumb Cake and cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies. I finally stamped the two leaves in Granny Apple Green and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Lemon Lolly mat with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I colored a panel of vellum with dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend and cut out two detailed leaf branches using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral dies. I used the eucalyptus die to cut a Lost Lagoon panel and adhered the die cuts to the card front with glue dots.

I adhered the die cut stamped leaves to the card front with glue dots and adhered the flowers with dimensionals. I made a multi-strand loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the card with rhinestones!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Calypso Coral on a Basic White panel. I stamped the center in Pebbled Path and covered it with a mask before stamping leaves on the side in Granny Apple Green. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the contrasting look of the watercolor florals from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle with the die cuts in card stock and vellum. And while I love the holiday images in the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper, the reverse sides are really pretty and great for non-holiday cards!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today’s card features the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle with the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ 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 a floral panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I cut a Petal Pink panel with the Radiating Stitches die and adhered it to the card front. I cut the small leaf branch from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral dies from Lost Lagoon card stock and adhered it to the die cut panel with liquid glue.

I stamped the small leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral photopolymer stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the large flower in Daffodil Delight ink on Basic White and the flower center in Crumb Cake . I cut the flower out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I stamped the small flower in Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Pool Party card stock. I cut fishtails on the ens and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Iridescent Pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Calypso Coral on Basic White. I stamped the center inn Crumb Cake and trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle is a pretty two step floral stamping set with water-color like images. The sentiments are pretty and it has dies that cut out the stamped flowers and leaves. Plus, there are pretty foliage dies that go wonderfully with the stamped images!

Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Tomorrow is Independence Day and while I did not make a patriotic card to celebrate, I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set and dies to make a card with ice cream – the perfect thing for a hot 4th of July afternoon! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

This is the card I made for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon and you can watch the video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and then to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base with liquid glue. I two circles using the Stylish Shapes dies for my ice cream dishes. I stamped two ice cream dishes using the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamp using full strength ink and stamped off before stamping the filler stamp. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the die cut circles with liquid glue.

I cut two spoons from silver foil, two fudge shapes from Early Espresso and two whipped creams from Basic white. I stamped the large ice cream stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Crumb Cake, Bubble Bath, Soft Sea Foam and stamped off Petal Pink and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered two ice cream scoops together with liquid glue and topped it off with a die cut fudge and whipped cream. I slipped a die cut spoon into the slot, adhering it with liquid glue. I repeated the process for the second ice cream and stamped two cherries in Real Red. I cut them out, adhered them to the top of the ice creams. I adhered ice creams to the die cut circles on top of the dishes with dimensionals.

Ii stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White. I cut it out with a Stylish Shapes circle and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I adhered the ice cream circles to the card front with liquid glue. I used the heart dies to cut some hearts and adhered them with tinsel gems and liquid glue.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Blueberry Bushel on a Basic White panel. I stamped a cherry next to the sentiment in Real Red ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Glorious Gingham DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are perfect for celebrating any occasion in the Summer. Or just celebrating the wonderfulness of ice cream!
