Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Get Well Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Fall get well card made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle and the beautiful new Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper from the upcoming September-December Mini Catalog. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Highland Heather card stock with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Highland Heather card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Copper Clay mat. I wrapped it with Copper Clay Linen Thread (available Sept 4) and made a bow. I popped the panel on the front of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I cut a mat from a Highland Heather panel of Splendid Autumn DSP and adhered it to the back of the sentiment. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals, doubling up on the overlap. I finished the card with Fresh Freesia tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the triple flower from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set using Highland Heather ink and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set next to the flowers using Copper Clay ink. I used the light Copper Clay and light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends to accent the flower centers. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle has so many beautiful sentiments and goes well with designer series papers filled with beautiful painted landscapes like the Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP (available on Sept 4). These papers make card making so easy and the gorgeous label dies give your cards an extra special touch!

Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a sneak peek of a fun new bundle from the upcoming Mini Catalog – the Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder bundle. This is a great little bundle with lots of great Winter images and coordinating dies and bold sentiments. This bundle will be available on Wednesday Sept 4 when the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog opens for orders! 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, so I turned it into a simple fun fold – a card base panel with a mini card.

I embossed a pool party panel with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the mini Basic White card base with liquid glue. I adhered strips of striped Snowy Scenes designer series paper (available Sept 4, 2024) to the top and bottom of the embossed panel and adhered the mini card base to a Poppy Parade panel.

I stamped and die cut several images from the Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder bundle on Basic White. I stamped the little house in Poppy Parade and used my black Stampin’ Write marker on the roof to make it contrast. I colored the windows dark Lemon Lolly and the door light Pecan Pie. I stamped the mountains (1 large and 2 small) in Pool Party and the trees in Garden Green.

I built the scene on the embossed panel starting with the mountains and adhered them with glue dots. I adhered the Garden Green Trees with glue dots and adhered the house with dimensionals. Lastly, I used dimensionals to adhere the two small line trees. I adhered a bunch of White Loose Snowflakes to the sky using glue dots.

For the inside of the mini card, I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder stamp set using Garden Green ink. I stamped the holly leaves in Garden Green and the berries in Poppy Parade.

The Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder stamp set is so versatile with so many different winter themes – snowflakes, a snowman, a penguin, a present and candy cane in addition to the trees, mountains and house I used on this card. And there are dies to cut them all out! Here’s a picture of the bundle.

Snowy Wonder Bundle – item 164125 $45.75

Note the snow globe dies – they coordinate with the images in the Snowy Scenes DSP. They’re calling ‘Shaker Card’ to me, filled with the loose snowflakes. Be sure to also check out the Snow Day Scrapbooking Workshop that will coordinate with this bundle. The details will be in the Scrapbooking Brochure that will also be available on September 4! So much to look forward to next month!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Sneak Peek

Good Morning! One of the pretty new bundles in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions bundle, a cling stamp and die set that is part of the Splendid Autumn Suite. It has beautiful sentiments and pretty fall images and gorgeous dies. I used the bundle with some of the pretty embellishments in the Suite for a fall note card with a change theme. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Wild Wheat card stock with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the wheat stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set using Wild Wheat ink on a Wild Wheat panel. I stamped it several times and stamped it again using the stamped off image. I adhered the panel to a Cajun Craze mat with liquid glue and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I cut it out with the small side of the frame die. I cut the leaf sprig from Cajun Craze card stock and adhered it to a Woven Golden leaf (item 164059 – $9.00) with a glue dot. I adhered the layered leaves to the card with a glue dot and adhered the label on top with dimensionals. I tied a length of Wild Wheat Rustic ribbon (item 164061 – $8.50) and adhered it to the bottom with a glue dot. I finished with Faux Glass Dots (item 164060 – $8.50). All of these pretty embellishments are part of the new Splendid Autumn Suite and will be available on Sept 4, 2024.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wheat from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set in Wild Wheat ink in the corner of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped it several times and did some second generation stamping too. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions bundle will be available on Sept 4, 2024 when the new Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog opens for orders. My card design is based on one of the cards in the new catalog, but I did change it, adding additional embellishments. That’s part of the creative fun! Here’s a picture of the stamps and dies included in the bundle.

Autumn Expressions Bundle (item 164056 – $51.25)

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle and the pretty Wildly Flowering designer series paper with the sentiments from the Citrus Blooms stamp sets for a simple fun fold Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a or challenge this week and it’s perfect for the Wildly Flowering designer series paper!

I cut panels of Moody Mauve Wildly Flowering designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats before adhering them to the inside and front flap of a Moody Mauve card base. Instead of using a Moody Mauve panel, I cut a Misty Moonlight panel to adhere to the front flap. I cut a panel of Moody Mauve DSP and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel with liquid glue. And I used the panel without the little bouquets.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the scalloped frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs dies and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals. I used the small hexagon panel to cut a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP and adhered it to the center with liquid glue.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set using Versamark ink on a Misty Moonlight 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 little diamond die from the Unbounded Love dies. I made a bow with linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with Dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I used Crumb Cake ink to ink up the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set and stamped it off before stamping it over the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside panel with liquid glue, being careful to line it up under the front panel so is hidden when the card is closed.

I love how the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle looks with the Wildly Flowering DSP and I finally figured out why I love this paper so much. It looks just like wallpaper I had in my house 30 years ago! Definitely vintage! LOL.

Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! One of the new items in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to make a birthday card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week:

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the diamond from the Fun Patterns embossing folders. I adhered it to a Basic White mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake Card base.

I adhered the balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to the card with glue dots and popped the party cat and dog on the card with dimensionals.

I adhered the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack to the card with glue dots along with three hearts. I finished the card with three iridescent faceted gems.

For the Inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I decorated it with more cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack – the banner, cake and another heart. And I finished with a sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. I love how it all coordinates!

The Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack is truly that, with cutouts covering several themes and occasions. These new products are so versatile – you can mix the elements from different packs since they all coordinate (like I did with my sentiments). You can mix them with stamped sentiments or images or other DSP. And they are perfect for quick and easy cards.

Stampin’ Up! Nests Of Winter for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper to make a Christmas card. This paper will be available with the new September-December Mini Catalog on Sept 4, 2024. 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 adhered a panel of Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper to a Pebbled Path mat with liquid glue and wrapped it with Garden Green Linen Thread (available Sept 4, 2024), making a bow. I adhered it to the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals.

I used the dies from the Winterly Tree Tops dies to cut four pine sprigs and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the Linen Thread. I fussy cut a little greenery sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP and adhered to the card with glue dots. I fussy cut a little bird and popped it over the greenery with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiments from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Real Red ink on Gray Granite card stock. I cut it out with the short fat Stylish Shapes banner die, using a two step method – note that I cut it with the left side straight. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished the card with red gems.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I fussy cut another greenery sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP and adhered it to the panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper has designs that are great for Christmas cards, but also for Fall and Winter in general. Here’s the DSP:

And here is the pretty Winterly Tree Tops bundle that goes so well with the DSP. Some of the dies will even cut out images in the paper.

All of these new products will be available when the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog is released on Sept 4, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I was so inspired by this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit so I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle to make a card using some of the same design elements. And I combined them with a simple fun fold technique to make a book fold card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty color challenge this week that uses the new In Colors:

I embossed panels of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper with the diamond pattern in the Fun Patterns embossing folder. I adhered the large panel to the book end of a Summer Splash card base and adhered the end shut with liquid glue. I adhered a floral pattern of the DSP to the main card front. I adhered a small strip of embossed DSP to the lower right corner of the front panel to pop the sentiment. I used the two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Sunny Splash circle and adhered it to the card with pieces of dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Petunia Pop, Peach Pie and Summer Splash inks on Basic White. These are two step stamps and I stamped the detailed images first full strength and then the background images using stamped off ink. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered the leaves to the back of the flowers with glue dots. Then I adhered the flowers to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I added three Pretty In Pink shimmer dots to the card and wrapped the binding with Summer Splash ribbon, tying a bow.

I left the inside of the card simple, trimming a Basic White panel with embossed DSP and adhereing the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The book fold design is a simple fun fold that makes your card extra special.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I decided to use one of the birds from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops bundle (from the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog available Sept 4, 2024) with the pretty Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a thank you card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week andI thought a sneak peek of this upcoming bundle would work with Summery DSP:

I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadows 6″ x6″ designer series paper to the front of a Balmy Blue card base. I cut a Pecan Pie panel with one of the Deckled Rectangles dies and embossed it with the Timber 3D embossing folder. I used one of the Deckled Circles dies to cut a scene from a Meandering Meadows panel and used the next largest circle to cut another panel that is predominantly Garden Green. I adhered the circles together and adhered them to the embossed panel with liquid glue. I wrapped it with linen thread and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the single bird from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Top stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored it with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Wild Wheat and Peach Pie Stampin’ blends and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the small label die from the Wild Ferns dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with textured dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the bird from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set using stamped off Crumb Cake ink on Basic White and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I really like the birds from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops bundle and I think they look great with the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP. Together, they make a perfect summer thank you card. Here is the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops bundle. It will be available September 4, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops Sneak Peek

Good Morning! I got an opportunity to get the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops bundle from the Upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and attend the Stampin’ Up! Creativity Now event. During the event we made some projects with this pretty new bundle and I’m sharing one of those cards today. You can find the currently avaliable products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes. And I’ve also included some pictures of this pretty bundle and the Nests of Winter designer series paper that I used.

I adhered a panel of Nests of Winter designer series paper filled with pussy willows to a Basic Black mat and adhered it to the front of a Moody Mauve card base with liquid glue. I stamped the pair of birds from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the birds with Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I stamped three pussy willows from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree tops stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored the stems using the light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend. I cut them out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the back of the birds with glue dots. I adhered the layered die cuts to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I wrapped a length of black baker’s twine around one end and tied a bow. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the pussy willows from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored the stems with the light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend and a adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The birds in the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops bundle are so cute and the sentiments are nice and can be used all year long. Here is the bundle:

And here is the Nests of Winter designer series paper:

There are coordinating embellishments in the Nests of Winter Suite that can be used throughout the Fall and Winter months as well as during the Holidays. These products will be available September 4, 2024.
