Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today’s card features the pretty Countryside Inn designer series paper with the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves photopolymer stamp set. 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:

I embossed a panel of Countryside Inn designer series paper with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat. This pattern fits perfectly in the embossing folder, so you add the embossed texture to the paper and it comes out so pretty! I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Boho Blue card base.

I cut a leaf cluster with the Bough punch from Misty Moonlight and cut the top section again so I had 1-1/2 leaf clusters. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Balmy Blue on Basic White and punched them out with the Bough Punch. I adhered the stem of the flowers to the full leaf cluster with liquid glue and adhered all the leaves to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Boho Blue card stock. I cut it out with the fat, long banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two step die cutting method, so that it was shorter and fit the sentiment. I adhered a length of Night of Navy ribbon to the back with glue dots and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Boho Blue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the branches from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the Bough punch coordinates perfectly with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves florals! And the sentiments in the stamp set are really beautiful!

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Card

Good Morning! Here’s a quick encouragement card made with the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched cling stamp set. This is a stamp set with pretty sketched images and sweet sentiments and I paired it with a wood grained pattern from the upcoming One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper that will be available on July 6, 2023 as part of a new Online Exclusives release. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the pretty butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up ! Softly Sketched stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I cut it out with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to a Pebbled Path mat with liquid glue. I took a single strand of Pebbled Path jute trim and wrapped it around the image twice and tied a knot – I love the rippled look of the single strand of jute.

I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available July 6, 2023) to Pebbled Path card stock with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and trimmed the right end.

I adhered the layered butterfly image to the upper center card front with dimensionals. I adhered the trimmed label with liquid glue under the art panel and finished the card front with pastel iridescent jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. 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 simple pencil sketches in the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set. They are perfect for making cards with a rustic handmade look. The sentiments in this set are just wonderful! And the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper will be available on July 6, 2023 when the new Online Exclusives products are available! Yay!

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle is a pretty floral cling stamp and die set that will be available in the upcoming September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. Stampin’ Up! held a virtual Creativity Now event last weekend for Demonstrators and showed us some cards made with this bundle and I modified one 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 Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lemon Lolly Card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel of Lemon Lolly card stock with the third largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to the card front at an angle with liquid glue.

I stamped the two flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals cling stamp set in Lemon Lolly ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped a stem for each flower in Lost Lagoon and the double leaves in Lost Lagoon. I cut the panel out with the third largest Deckled Rectangles die. I stamped the flowers and leaves on a Vellum card stock panel and cut them out with the coordinating dies after the ink was dry and adhered them to the panel with a glue dot.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I cut the label out with the smallest Deckled rectangle die by lining up the die with the top left corner of the sentiment. After cutting, I lined up the die with the bottom right corner and cut again. I adhered Lemon Lolly ribbon to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered three rhinestones to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower twice next to the sentiment in Lemon Lolly ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle:

The Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle is a pretty set that will be available in the September – December 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on September 6, 2023. It’s a way off, but next month there will be a refresh of the Online Exclusives. The Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Thank You Card

Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set with the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Thank You card. I love how the flowers in the stamp set are so similar to the flowers in the DSP and that’s what I tried to feature in this 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 floral Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the right side of of a Lost Lagoon mat and a small print pattern of the DSP to the left side. I adhered a strip of Lost Lagoon to cover the seam and wrapped a length of linen thread around it and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Basic White panel and used sponge daubers to apply ink to the large floral stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set. I used Calypso Coral on the large flower, Petal Pink on the small one and Lost Lagoon on the stems and leaves. I stamped the image on the die cut circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink next to the flower and stamped the stars in stamped off Pool Party. Actually, I think these may be seed pods like dandelions or milkweed – what do you think? I added iridescent pastel gems before adhering the circle to the card front with dimensionals..

For the inside of the card, I stamped the stars (or seed pods) from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in stamped off Pool Party ink on the side of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the images and sentiments in the pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set. I was worried about using different colors of ink on a single stamp and I didn’t have my markers, so I’m glad that this came out so well by using sponge daubers. But I think there’s enough space between the flowers and stems, so it works out pretty well. And I like the image stamped in a single color too!

Join me for a Facebook Live This Afternoon!

I’ll be going live on my Facebook Business Page this afternoon to show a sneak peek of a pretty new bundle from the upcoming September – December 2023 Mini Catalog – the Translucent Florals bundle. I hope you can join me at 1:00 ET today!

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Sorry Card

Good Morning! The new Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper is a pretty designer series paper pack with a sheet that has several smaller panels. I used the panel with the Copper Clay background to make a quick and easy card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Copper Clay strip with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders and adhered it to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I trimmed the Fresh as a Daisy Panel and adhered it to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies photopolymer stamp set using Boho Blue ink on Basic White panel and cut it out with the label die.

I adhered a length of Boho Blue ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label on top of the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the card with Boho Blue faceted Dots

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of the Fresh As A Daisy DSP. I adhered the panel to a Copper Clay mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set is sweet and cute and perfect for a lighthearted apology. The Fresh As A Daisy DSP is the perfect backdrop!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I am still playing with the Paper Florist dies and the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle and today I combined them with the cute Les Shoppes designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

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

I adhered a panel of Les Shoppes designer series paper to a Misty Moonlight mat and adhered it to the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue with spray from the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat before adhering it to the card front with liquid glue.

I used the Paper Florist dies to cut flower petals and leaves from Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive card stock. I assembled the flowers with liquid glue and adhered them to the card with glue dots. See the picture below for the dies.

Be sure to save the extra die cuts for future projects!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements photopolymer stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the label die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered a Balmy Blue and White bow with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower next to the sentiment in Misty Moonlight and colored it with the dark Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I adhered a strip of Les Shoppes DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements sentiments are perfect to coordinate with the Paper Florist dies!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements with Paper Florist Card

Good Morning! I finally pulled out my Paper Florist dies and used them with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set to make a simple card thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White strip. I embossed the strip with the Stripes 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base.

I cut 4 of the four petal flower dies from Balmy Blue card stock, giving me 8 large petal clusters and 8 small petal cluster. I cut centers for the flowers from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered them with liquid glue. See the picture below for the dies I used.

I made each flower by using 4 of the same size petal clusters. I adhered each layer with a small dot of liquid glue and rotated it to offset the petals. Last, I adhered the flower center with a dot of liquid glue.

I used a large flower and two small flowers for today’s card and I saved the extra die cuts for a future project. I adhered each flower with glue dots. I didn’t use any dimensionals on the card, but the layers of flower petals gives the card texture and dimension, so I didn’t even add extra embellishments!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Balmy Blue on Basic White. I stamped the leaf sprig in Granny Apple Green and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Paper Florist dies are so much fun to play with because you use any kind of paper and any color. There are co many different petals, leaves and centers to play and experiment with and the possibilities are endless. I chose to start simple and was thinking about Forget-Me-Nots, but I chose the wrong petal shape. Even so, the flowers still came out beautiful and the simple arrangement with the pretty DSP worked out pretty well. And of course the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set worked out perfect!

Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Father’s Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle is such a fun set and I love the dies that look like a tackle box. My father loved fishing and this is the Father’s Day card that I would have loved to make for him. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I am also entering my card into the Card Concept Nature Calls Challenge:

I cut the tackle box from Pebbled Path card stock using the dies from the Stampin Up! Gone Fishing dies. I adhered the background die to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue and the tray with bits of dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing photopolymer stamp set in Wild Wheat on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the tackle box tray die (I just cut a portion but you can cut out the whole tray with a larger card stock panel). I adhered the label to the card in the corner section of the tackle box with liquid glue. I stamped the lures, bobber and fly in Real Red, Crushed Curry, Gray Granite and Old Olive on Basic White and cut them out with their corresponding dies. I used the light Real Red Stampin’ Blend to color the hook on the fly.

I cut the weights from Smoky Slate and the large lure and hooks from silver foil. I cut the two angle bobber dies from Basic white and Real red and adhered them with liquid glue. I stamped the feather in Mossy Meadow and Boho Blue on Vellum and cut them out with a die and paper snips. I adhered one to the fly with a glue dot. I adhered the tackle to the sections of the tackle box with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card font with rustic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing stamp set in Wild Wheat on Very Vanilla. I stamped the bobber in Real Red and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The tackle box cards are so fun (and pretty easy too!) to make and fill using the Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing bundle. It’s fun to stamp the lures in different colors – they’re two step stamping, so they come out real nice! And this would also be a wonderful way to make a unique card for a woman who loves fishing! But for now, it’s a wonderful idea for a Father’s Day card for the Dad who takes his kids fishing!

Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are the perfect anecdote for a hot summer day, and I chose a chocolate shake, my favorite, for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

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

I cut a strip of Bubble Bath with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contours dies and embossed it with the stripe embossing folder from the Stripes and Spatters 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the side of a Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and adhered the layered panel to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base. I embossed an Bubble Bath panel with the stripe embossing folder. I cut a Basic White panel with the third largest scalloped rectangle die and adhered the embossed panel to the inside. I adhered the rectangle to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the glass from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White (stamp the detailed stamp first and stamp off the filler stamp before stamping over the detailed image). I cut the glass out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the shake top in Crumb Cake and the cherry and straws in Real Red. I cut these out with the coordinating dies and cut a little whipped cream from Basic White. I adhered the pieces together with glue dots and adhered the top to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Versamark ink on Azure Afternoon and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I 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 dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Cherry in real Red and the hearts in Bubble Bath and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are fun way to celebrate summer and send summer greetings to friends and family. And as a bonus, they are calorie free, don’t melt in the heat, and won’t give you brain freeze. Now I’m ready for some ice cream!

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Note Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle has a sweet cling stamp set that is paired with two punches that make a unique and fun artistic combination. I used both the stamp set and punches along with the beautiful Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a card that I loosely CASE’d from the 2023-2025 Annual Catalog. 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 Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Crushed Curry card base. I cut a Pool Party plaid panel of Inked Botanicals DSP in half and adhered each strip to the sides of the card front with liquid glue, being careful to line them up evenly.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White. I stamped the leaf sprig next to the flower in Lost Lagoon ink. I stamped the wisps in stamped off Crushed Curry and the stars in Pool Party around the flower. I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered the panel to an Inked Botanicals DSP mat. I adhered the layered piece to the card front with dimensionals, straddling the plaid DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Versamark ink on a Pool Party strip. 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 used the x punch from the bundle to trim the ends and used my paper snips to trim the excess card stock from the top and bottom. I used the star punch from the bundle to trim the ends of a DSP strip to make a mat and adhered the label to the mat with liquid glue. I folded a length of Lost Lagoon ribbon and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the card with iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Calypso Coral ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf in Lost Lagoon and some wisps and stars in Pool Party and stamped off Crushed Curry. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle is pretty versatile. I love the style of the art, it looks like actual plants were inked up and used to stamp the images! The stamp set has pretty sentiments and the punches make a nice angular contrast with the soft florals.
