Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms Hello Card

Good Morning! Today’s card is is inspired from the cards found on p45 of the new Annual Catalog using the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms bundle. I turned it into a Fun Fold card where the inside uses the pretty Florals In Bloom designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms stamp set using Secret Sea ink along the sides of the Secret Sea card base panel. It’s hard to see from the pictures, but it gives the card stock background a little texture. I scored and burnished the 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ panel of Florals in Bloom designer series paper at 3-1/4″ and 6-1/2″ and adhered the 1″ section down with liquid glue. Then I adhered the DSP card base to the stamped card stock panel with liquid glue.

I applied adhesive sheets to the back of Blackberry Bliss and cut out the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms detailed lovely die and cut out the coordinating background die from Basic White. I peeled the adhesive sheet backing and adhered the two die cuts together and adhered it to the card with glue dots, being careful not to go past the left DSP fold.

I stamped the hello from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms stamp set in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White and adhered it to a Blackberry Bliss mat before popping it on the card with dimensionals. I finished with Blackberry Bliss dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf & stems from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Blooms stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I used three times stamped off Secret Sea for the flowers – with this combo, I found it easier to stamp the stems first. I used the Cloud Cover and Secret Sea Stampin’ Write markers to add flicks to the flowers to add some depth. I planned an even border, but I cut it 4-3/4″ instead of 5-1/4″, so it’s a little short, but I think it looks pretty good, so I left it. I love that you can see DSP on the inside of the front flap!

This picture is the best for seeing the tone on tone leaf sprig stamping on the card stock. I love card designs where you can see both sides of pretty designer series paper and the Florals in Bloom paper is so pretty! And the sentiments and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Blooms bundle are great and so easy to use. I hope you are loving the items in the new Annual Catalog as much as I am!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle from the March Online Exclusives release with some new products from to make a thank you card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week, and I interpreted it on a portrait card:

I selected the landscape section from one of the panels of the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and cut it to 2-1/2″ x 4″. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on the panel using Pecan Pie ink. I used the long side of one of the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes rectangle dies to cut the top and bottom of the Pecan Pie panel and adhered the DSP to the die cut panel.

I stamped the large leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on a fairly plain panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I stamped it in the top right corner and then again in the lower left section. I stamped the woven circle basket using Crumb Cake ink and adhered the panel to the front of a Basic Beige card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the floral die from the Beautiful Motifs dies and snipped it in the middle. I adhered the two sections to the card with glue dots.

I wrapped the landscape panel twice with linen thread and tied a bow before adhering it to the card with dimensionals and finished with a textured metallic dot near the sentiment.

For the inside of the card I stamped the leaf cluster and woven circle basket from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks on Basic White. I trimmed the top and bottom with dSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP is so versatile and the landscapes make nice focal points for cards. I was pleased that the images from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set would compliment the DSP so well and of course those rectangle dies make wonderful bordered mats!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! One of the prettiest bundles from the last few years is the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies and they are currently on the Last Chance products list with wonderful discounts! I used it with the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to make a simple fun fold Thinking of You card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front panel of the Highland Heather card base. Cut a Gorgeous Grape panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and adhere another panel of the DSP to the die cut.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Versamark ink on Gorgeous Grape. Sprinkle the sentiment with white embossing powder and shake off the excess. Heat the powder with a heat tool until it’s bright and shiny and cut it out with the rectangle die from the Perennial Postage dies. Adhere it to the layered die cut with glue dots.

Cut two leaf sprigs using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and adhere them to the large die cut with glue dots. Cut two double floral sprigs from Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and adhere three of the sprigs to the die cut panel with bits of dimensionals at the top and glue dots at the bottom. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a white bow and purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, stamp the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set using Highland Heather ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the side and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal so that the DSP shows when the card is closed.

The pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and purple shimmer gems are carried over in the new Annual Catalog and are perfect for making cards for those special ladies who love purple. Definitely check out the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies on the Last Chance list for a great bargain while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle is a new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that will be available next week on May 6, 2025. I used it with the pretty Florals In Bloom designer series paper to make a hello card with a pretty bouquet. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I used four of the colors:

I adhered a floral panel of Flowers In Bloom DSP to the front of a Summer Splash card base. I cut a Petunia Pop panel with the third largest Textured Notes rectangle die and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside with liquid glue. I popped it onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. These are two-step stamping flowers and I used the same color for both stamps. I used Darling Duckling, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop inks where I stamped the outline first using full strength ink and stamped off before stamping the filler stamp. For the last flower, I used the new In Color Secret Sea, but stamped off the filler stamp three times before stamping. I cut four single stems from Garden Green card stock and adhered them to the back of the flowers.

I used the leaf cluster die from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set to cut two Granny Apple Green clusters and a Garden Green cluster. I adhered a Granny Apple Green Green cluster with glue dots and adhered the Secret Sea and Petunia Pop flowers on top. I adhered the Garden Green leaf cluster and the last Granny Apple Green leaf cluster with glue dots and finished with the Summer Splash and Darling Duckling flowers adhered with glue dots and dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Secret Sea ink on Summer Splash and cut it out with the second smallest Textured notes rectangle die using the two step method. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with new Secret Sea In Color dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the single stem from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower using Petunia Pop like the flowers on the card front and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle is really pretty and makes so many different flowers. And the Florals In bloom DSP even has some flowers that can be cut out with the dies. So there are so many creative options. Here’s the bundle:

And here’s the pretty Florals In Bloom DSP:

These pretty new items will be available on May 6.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle is a new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that will be available on May 6, 2025. I used it with a pretty landscape pattern of Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a thinking of you card for today. You can find the currently available 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 pretty landscape panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat by applying liquid glue around the outside edge. I used the second largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a circle from the layered DSP and adhered the outside to the front of a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals.

I adhered the die cut circle to the inside of the circle with liquid glue to get a two layer effect. I cut a Mossy Meadow panel with the pretty fern die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots and bits of dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Lost Lagoon and cut it out with the long Textured notes label die using a two step methog. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished with a three small copper gems.

I left the inside of the card, blank, simply trimming the side of a Basic White panel with more of the landscape DSP and adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The landscape panels of the Beautiful Gallery DSP are real pretty. I love the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set and the fern die is just gorgeous. The flourish dies are interesting in that they do a partial die cut – I need to play with them a bit to get comfortable. Here is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle:

It will be available with the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are part of the new Beautiful Gallery Suite in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on May 6.

Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind Thank You Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple thank you card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set and the beautiful Lovely Garden designer series paper. The big, bold sentiments in the stamp set go well with thebold and beautiful flowers in the DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a striped strip of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the bottom of a retiring Boho Blue card base with liquid glue.

Adhere another floral pattern of the Lovely Garden DSP to a Basic Black mat and wrap it with Strawberry Slush baker’s twine and make a bow on the right side. Adhere the layered panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set using Versamark Ink on Basic Black. Sprinkle it with white embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat the powder with a heat tool until it is bright and shiny. Fussy cut the sentiment with paper snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card over the bow with dimensionals. Finish with three Pretty In Pink dots.

For the inside of the card, adhere a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Lovely Garden designer series paper makes for quick & easy pretty layered cards. And I love the casual bold sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set. It is perfect for many occasions and has simple images that can be stamped for a DIY DSP in any color palette.

Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms bundle is another new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that will be available on May 6, 2025. I used it with the retiring Countryside Coners dies and some pretty vintage floral Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a Z-fold Wedding card for today. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post. Note: My supply list may not be very useful since most of the items I used are from the upcoming Annual Catalog.

This week’s challenge is to make a fun fold card!

After scoring and burnishing the Cloud Cover card base, I adhered floral panels of Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front flap and back panel with liquid glue. I embossed a Cloud Cover panel with the new Damask Designs embossing folder and adhered it to the middle section.

I cut a Secret Sky panel with the second largest retiring Countryside Corners die and cut a Cloud Cover panel with the third largest die. I embossed the Cloud Cover die cut with the Damask Designs embossing folder and adhered it to the larger die cut. I adhered the layered die cuts to the card front flap with liquid glue. I stamped the large roses from the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms stamp set using Secret Sky ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the embossed panel with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Secret Sea ink on Cloud Cover and cut it out with the small Countryside Corners die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished with a white bow and Secret Sea dots.

For the inside of the card, stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Secret Sea ink on Basic White. I used twice stamped off Secret Sea ink to stamp the large floral from the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms stamp set in the corner and cut it out with the third largest Countryside corners die. I adhered it to the back panel of the card with liquid glue so it is hidden when the card is closed.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals Note Card

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of the new Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle from the upcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. This is such a versatile bundle with different flowers to stamp using a two step stamp method. There are also outline dies for the stamped images and coordinating floral dies. I used the bundle with the pretty Florals In Bloom designer series paper that it coordinates with. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed Petunia Pop card stock with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a panel of Florals in Bloom designer series paper. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set on the right side of a Basic White panel using Petunia Pop ink and cut it out with one of the Textured Notes rectangle dies. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I cut a Bubble Bath panel with the large flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals dies and cut a Petunia Pop panel with the detailed die. I adhered the detailed die to the large flower with dots of liquid glue. I cut two large leaves from Garden Green. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and popped the flower on top with dimensionals. I finished with a white bow and Petunia Pop dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the daisy like flower from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals stamp set. I started with the detailed flower stamp in Petunia Pop. I stamped the background flower stamp in Bubble Bath ink and finished with the stem in stamped off Garden Green. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It’s also great that the dies cut out some of the images in the DSP as well as stamped images. The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Florals bundle and Florals in Bloom designer series paper will be available May 6, 2025 when the new Annual Catalog opens for ordering.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom designer series paper is 12″ x 12″ and here are the patterns in the pack:

And here’s the Pretty Florals bundle – so many options for stamped and die cut flowers:

Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom Sneak Peek

Good Morning! I just received my Demonstrator pre-order for the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2025 Annual Catalog. One of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom suite and I used several items in the suite to make a hello card. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes. And I’ve added pictures of the new items that I used.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Florals in Bloom designer series paper to the front of a Darling Duckling card base with liquid glue. I used the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut a circle from Basic White and cut two leaf clusters using the Pretty Florals dies from Granny Apple Green. I adhered the leaves to the die cut circle with liquid glue.

I used the large triple flower and small triple flower dies from the new Pretty Florals dies to cut Peach Pie card stock and used the light Peach Pie Stampin’ Blend to color the small die cuts. I also cut the triple stem from Shy Shamrock and used liquid glue to assemble the flowers. I adhered the flowers to the die cut circle using dimensionals behind the flowers and glue dots behind the stems.

I adhered the decorated die cut circle to the card with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Blooms stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Flirty Flamingo dots and a Shy Shamrock bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the stem from the Pretty Florals stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink in the bottom corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed flower using Peach Pie and the background using stamped off peach pie (I only inked up the top flower in the triple flower stamp). I trimmed the bottom with Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom suite is from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual catalog that will be available May 6, 2025. It includes the Pretty Florals bundle, Sweet Blooms bundle (note that I only used the stamp set on this card) and the beautiful Florals In Bloom designer series paper. It also includes flat pearls in the new 2025-2027 In Colors.

Speaking of In Colors, I also used one of the new In Colors – Darling Duckling. Here’s a quick comparison of it with the other yellows in the Stampin’ Up! Color Palette:

The other new 2025-2027 In Colors are Strawberry Slush (a returning color), Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. Note that the Cloud Cover ink pad is not available due to quality control issues.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Florals In Bloom designer series paper is 12″ x 12″ and here are the patterns in the pack:

And here’s the Pretty Florals bundle – so many options for stamped and die cut flowers:

Finally, here’s the Sweet Blooms bundle – with layered word dies YAY!!

All these items will be available on May 6, 2025 when the new catalog opens for orders. I can’t wait!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
