Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers Sneak Peek

Good Morning! It’s less than a week until the new Stampin’ Up! January – April 2023 Mini Catalog is open for ordering! Yay!! On the same day, Sale-A-Bration 2023 will begin! Double Yay!! And today I have a sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers bundle from the upcoming catalog along with the Sale-A-Bration Favored Flowers designer series paper that coordinates with the bundle. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a strip of Petal Pink geometric Favored Flowers designer series paper to an Evening Evergreen panel with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of floral DSP next to it and wrapped it with Basic Black baker’s twine, making a bow. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers cling stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Petal Pink panel. I stamped it 4 times, but since colored card stock is not as smooth as Basic White, I still had some splotchy spots. Since I wanted a smoother look, I used my Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Write marker to dab more color on some of the lighter spots. I cut it out with the big label die from the bundle and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with 3 Petal Pink Elegant gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set using Petal Pink ink on a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love this bold sentiment and label die from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers bundle, and it goes wonderfully with the bold floral and graphic designs in the Sale-A-Bration Favored Flowers designer series paper. The DSP pack is one of the items that you will be able to get for free with a purchase of $50 during Sale-A-Bration. Here are the pretty papers in the pack along with the Fragrant Flowers bundle:

Both of these items will be available on January 5, 2023 and I can’t wait!!

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. I made a thank you card featuring the sea birds in the bundle and more of the pretty By The Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of By The Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty Designer series paper to the front of a Night of Navy card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel of the DSP with the largest square in the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to a Crumb Cake mat. I folded a short length of Natural ribbon and adhered it together with glue dots before adhering it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered die cut square over the ribbon with dimensionals.

I used the large seagrass die from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay dies to cut a Mint Macaron panel and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the large bird in Soft Suede ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the coordinating die. I colored parts of the bird with the light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I stamped the little bird in Soft Suede on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it with a glue dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay stamp set in Night of Navy on Crumb Cake card stock. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die using the two step method and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I finished the card with Faceted solid jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the seashells from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay stamp set in Soft Suede ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bird next to the shells and stamped the sand around it all. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love that so many of the images in the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay bundle have coordinating dies. And I love that you have images for birds and shells, so you have lots of flexibility in designing shore themed projects – perfect for warming up cold Winter days!

Here is the pretty Seaside Bay bundle (I can feel the sand between my toes!):

Here are the pretty papers in the By the Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper pack:

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Valentine’s Day Card

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. This sweet bundle is part of the Country Floral Lane suite and has so many wonderful Valentine’s Day and Love themed images, sentiments and embellishments. My card today is a Valentine’s Day card for a friend. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Sweet Sorbet heart designed panel of Country Floral Lane designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base with dimensionals. I stamped the large hearts and flowers stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the coordinating leaves stamp in Soft Succulent on top of the flowers and hearts. I found that this was easy to line up. I fussy cut the heart with my paper snips and adhered it to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the striped heart in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and cut it out with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch. I adhered it to the large heart with glue dots. I stamped two of the small solid hearts in Sweet Sorbet ink on Basic White, punched them out and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White strip. I trimmed the end with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I made a double bow with Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the card with lots of iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White panel. I stamped the double solid mini hearts in Sweet Sorbet next to the sentiment and the little sprig in Soft Succulent under the hears. I trimmed the side of the panel with a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Hearts and flowers say Valentine’s Day and I love the ones in the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle! Here is my card with the bundle and the Country Floral Lane DSP. I love that the punch cuts out so many of the stamps and the DSP too!

Here are the pretty designs in the Country Floral Lane designer series paper pack:

All these pretty items will be available on January 5, 2023, just in time to get ready for Valentine’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Congratulations Card

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. This gorgeous bundle is part of the Fancy Flora suite and I also used the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and the Something Fancy stamp set from that suite in todays card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to an Orchid Oasis mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of an Orchid Oasis card base with dimensionals. I stamped the two large flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Polished Pink ink on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamps first and then stamped the background stamps in stamped off Polished Pink and lined up the flower centers – I found this pretty easy to do. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored the centers with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend marker.

I stamped two sets of the leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped two sets of the two-stem small flower clusters in Daffodil Delight ink, by stamping the detail stamp full strength and the background stamp in stamped off Daffodil Delight. These were easy to line up by using the flower centers as well. I cut them out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I adhered two large Polished Pink roses on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Versamark ink on Orchid Oasis. 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 it out with my paper snips and adhered it with dimensionals and glue dots. I made a bow with Fresh Freesia ribbon and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card front with three iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Daffodil Delight just like the card front in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Orchid Oasis in the middle and trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The stamped floral images come out so pretty and they are fairly easy to line up. And the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is also pretty, reminiscent of an impressionist oil painting. Here is my card with the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle, the gems and some of the pretty DSP.

Here is the stamp set and dies in the bundle:

And here is the other stamp bundle in the Fancy Flora suite, the Something Fancy bundle. I love the dies in this sentiment bundle!

I love the traditional floral look of the two-step stamped flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle and actually all the gorgeous items in the Fancy Flora suite. It will all be available on January 5, 2023!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The upcoming January-April Mini Catalog has so many pretty new bundles and one of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle. It is part of the Fancy Flora Suite that is pictured on the front of the catalog. I used many products in this suite for today’s card and they will all be available on January 5, 2023 when the catalog goes live. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and here is the pretty card sketch we are using this week:

I cut a panel of ombre Orchid Oasis Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the large background die from the Stampin’ Up Two-Tone Flora dies and adhered it to another panel of Fancy Flora DSP with dots of liquid glue. A few pieces are separated from the main panel and need to be adhered individually. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base.

I stamped the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots and made a loopy bow with Starry Sky metallic ribbon and adhered it on the leaf spray.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy cling stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink on Petal Pink card stock. I cut it out with the pretty label die from the Something Fancy dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Calypso Coral iridescent jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen in the corners of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I stamped the medium flower detail stamp in Orchid Oasis and stamped the solid flower over it in stamped off Orchid Oasis. I stamped the details of the small flower in Calypso Coral and the background in Petal Pink. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the corners of the panel. I trimmed the flowers and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Fancy Flora Suite is beautiful and I really love the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle! The two-step stamping flowers are fun to make and easy to do and they come out beautiful! I love that they all have coordinating dies and the beautiful floral background die is really gorgeus!

Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog with beautiful oval die cuts and photopolymer stamps with wonderful floral images and sentiments. The Fitting Florets designer series paper coordinates beautifully with this set, but it is only available while supplies last until the new mini catalog opens on January 5, 2023. I used these products to make this pretty floral thank you card for today. 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 Fitting Florets designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the large fancy oval frame die. I adhered both die cuts to the card with liquid glue.

I cut the small oval frame from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets dies from Balmy Blue and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I used the two flower outline die from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets die to cut two of the large Polished Pink flower clusters from the Fitting Florets DSP and Basic White. I love when dies coordinate with designer series paper! I adhered the DSP flowers to the Basic White flowers with liquid glue and adhered the flower clusters to the card front with dimensionals. I finished with three sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the two flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp in stamped off Polished Pink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Fitted Florets DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is beautiful and goes so well with the Fitted Florets DSP. These products make it so easy to make beautiful cards and other projects!

Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode Hello Card

Good Morning! One of the upcoming Sale-A-Bration items is a huge pack of designer series paper called Dandy Designs. This is an item that you can choose for free with a $100 order! I chose three different warm colored patterns to use with the awesome Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies for a simple hello card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a strip of plaid Dandy Designs designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat and adhered it to a floral panel of the DSP. I adhered these to another Calypso Coral mat and wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the panel twice and tied a loopy bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base with dimensionals.

I cut a geometric panel of Dandy Designs DSP with the large label die from the Something Fancy dies (also available January 5) and adhered it to a matching Pale Papaya die cut. I applied adhesive sheets to the back of a Calypso Coral panel and cut out the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies. I peeled off the adhesive sheets and adhered the letters to the label and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I cut the small daisy flower die from the Dainty Delights dies from Calypso coral and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot. I added a Crushed Curry Glossy dot to the center of the flower to finish the card. I love the way this die cut flower reflects the flowers in the DSP!

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of the floral Dandy Designs designer series paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card. This leaves plenty of room to write a personal message!

The adhesive sheets work really well with the letters in the Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies, since they are so thin and these are good sized die cut letters at just over 1-1/2″ tall! They’re perfect for customizing cards with names or making monogram note cards. There are also doubles of common letters along with numbers and punctuation. Here are my dies:

The Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode will be available on January 5, 2023 when the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live and Sale-A-Bration begins. I’m so excited!

Note that while some of the bundles are on the retiring list, the individual stamps and dies/punches may be carried over. These items are marked with three asterisks on the retiring lists. Also, if one of the items in the bundle is deeply discounted, the total price may be less than the bundled price, so pull out your calculators to double check.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! One of the pretty Valentine bundles in the upcoming January – April 2023 Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle. This bundle has a pretty two step photopolymer stamp set with a wonderful coordinating punch and I used it to make a Valentine during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. This bundle along with other items in the Country Floral Lane Suite will be available on January 5, 2023 when the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live. You can find the currently available 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 cut a panel of the new Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a Sweet Sorbet mat with liquid glue. I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch to punch the two hearts and leaves from sheet of Country Floral Lane designer series paper. I punched another large heart from Basic White and adhere it to the back of the Sweet Sorbet heart punched from the DSP. I adhered the leaves to the bottom of the large heart and the small heart on top using glue dots.

I folded a length of Burlap stitched ribbon (available January 5) and adhered it to the stitched rectangle with glue dots. I drew a stem with my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write marker and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered it to the stitched rectangle and ribbon with liquid glue. I adhered the punched heart ‘flower’ on the stem with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered the layered stitched rectangle to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a strip of Basic White and cut it out with the small long skinny stitched rectangle die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with Fine Sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large heart from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf in Mink Macaron and stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake. I stamped the little heart in Petal Pink (don’t forget to clean off the Sweet Sorbet ink first) next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom in Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love that the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Punch cuts out some of the images in the Country Floral Lane DSP! And I love the asymmetric, casual design of the hearts. It’s very refreshing and fun! Here’s a picture of the bundle with my card and the two packs of DSP that are in the new Suite.

There are so many pretty sentiments in the bundle and I love the two step large floral heart image where you can stamp flowers in one color and stamp the leaves in another. The suite also has another bundle (which I didn’t get yet) with more flowers and Love themed layered word dies – I love word dies!! That’s next on my shopping list!!

Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Thank You Cards

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of some new products from the upcoming January – April Mini Catalog. I used the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle to make some cheery Thank You cards! I paired this bundle with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. These new products will be available on January 5, 2023. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I wanted to focus on the pretty patterns in the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. This is an item that you can get for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration starting January 5, 2023. It has 48 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double sided paper – 4 each of 12 designs. I only used 4 of the designs and paired them with coordinating cardstock and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink to keep it simple.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on card stock. I cut it out with the hexagon die from the bundle. I used the large tag and teardrop dies from the bundle to cut a panel of Dandy Designs Sale-A-Bration DSP and adhered the hexagon label to it with dimensionals. I used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder to emboss another card stock panel and adhered it to the front of a Basic White note card with liquid glue. I used liquid glue to adhere the tag to the card front and finished it with a bow made with a coordinating ribbon and a glossy dot. I left the inside of the card blank – the note cards are pretty substantial so the card doesn’t look flimsy, and it leaves plenty of room for a personal note. Plus the note cards come with perfectly sized envelopes!

Here is a picture of most of the new supplies I used. I love that new cane weave embossing folder, it’s another great subtle texture background! Here’s the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle.

There are sentiments for lots of occasions and I love the casual elegance of the new script font. The coordinating label dies are also perfect – there are so many sizes and shape options that are going to be great for layering! And they will be great with other sentiments in your stash as well!

Tag cards are always fun and this one is easy to put together. But it’s also full of texture with the embossed background, dimension and embellishments. The January – April 2023 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration start on January 5, 2023.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments bundle is a cute stamp and die bundle with different sentiments and dies that cut closely around the letters. I paired it with a sneak peek of pretty Sale-A-Bration designer series paper that will be available on January 5, 2023 and snuck in a little sneak peek of the pretty Dainty Delight bundle from the upcoming January – April 2023 Mini Catalog that also opens on January 5, 2023. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Blushing Bride panel of the Dainty Flowers Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to an Orchid Oasis card base with liquid glue. I used my Paper Snips to distress the edges of an oval wreath pattern of the Dainty Flowers DSP and adhered it on top of the Blushing Bride panel. The angled layering is a fun change up to the DSP layers.

I cut the Queen Anne’s Lace die from the Dainty Delight dies from Old Olive and cut the top again in Blushing Bride. I trimmed the flowers from the Blushing Bride die cut and adhered them to the Old Olive die cut with tiny dots of liquid glue and used a light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ blend to accent the flower centers. I cut the bare stem from Old Olive and cut the long layered flowers from Fresh Freesia. I adhered the flowers to the stem with liquid glue dots and used my light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend to accent the fresh Freesia Flowers. I adhered the flowers to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments cling stamp set using Versamark ink on a Basic Black panel. 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 it out with the coordinating die. I made a loopy bow with Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and adhered it to the card with a glue dot and adhered the sentiment on top with dimensionals. I love how the black and white sentiment contrasts with the pretty colorful florals in the DSP. I finished the card with small Polished Pink Opal Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped one of the wildflower sprays from the Dainty Delight stamp set in stamped off Blushing Bride and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Dainty Flowers Sale-A-Bration DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments bundle has lots of cute sentiments for different occasions. Plus it has dies to add fun touches to celebrate these occasions! It’s perfect for the black and white cut out sentiments like I used today. This sentiment style is beautiful with any kind of background, and is especially pretty with florals like the florals in the Dainty flowers DSP. This beautiful DSP will be free with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration which starts on January 5, 2023. Here is a picture of the pretty papers in this 12″ x 12″ pack (two sheets each of six different double sided designs):

And here is the pretty Dainty Delights bundle from the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. It coordinates well with the Sale-A-Bration DSP and I love the smaller scale of these pretty wildflowers and gorgeous dies!
