Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love bundle is a wonderful set with pretty herb stamps and dies and a fun mini envelope die. I used it to make a basil thank you card and a mini note card with a coordinating envelope. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

For my thank you card, I adhered a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat and adhered it to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. I stamped the frame and basil from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I stamped the basil again using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White and cut it out with the basil die and popped it over the Pecan Pie basil with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the small label die and adhered a Linen Thread bow to the back before adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with textured metallic dots.

I used the envelope die from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love dies to cut a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP and burnished the score lines. I adhered the envelope together with liquid glue. I adhered a short length of linen thread to the envelope flap with a glue dot and cut the envelope clasps from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the large circles to the envelope with mini dimensionals, topped them with dots and looped the Linen Thread to secure it. I stamped the basil and frame again using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I adhered it to the front of a mini card made with the Timeless Plaid DSP.

For the inside panel of the main card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. I stamped another basil from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the inside panel and trimmed the side before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

For the inside of the mini card, I simply stamped the frame from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love is one of the new Online Exclusives bundles that came out at the beginning of the month. The herb stamp images are just gorgeous with intricate details and shading and it was hard to choose which herb to use. The little envelope is pretty easy to put together and it’s so cute! It’s supposed to be for seeds, but it fits a gift card and is perfect for a little note card or tag to accompany a gift.

Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Book Fold thank you card using the fun Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set, a Sale-A-Bration item you can get for FREE with a $60 order. 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 and I’ve used two Sale-A-Bration products for today’s card:

I scored & burnished my Granny Apple Green Card base and adhered the left book bind section closed with liquid glue. I adhered panels of the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front sections.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set on a Basic White panel using Granny Apple Green for the top, Pecan Pie for the trunk and Melon Mambo for the roses. I fussy cut the tree with my paper snips. On another panel, I stamped the grass in granny Apple Green, the fence in Crumb Cake and the clouds in Balmy Blue. I cut the background panel with the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I popped the fussy cut tree on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card stock and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the sentiment. I cut it out with the small Mixed Labels die and popped it on the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I decorated the card with three textured metallic dots and wrapped Crumb Cake baker’s twine around the binding and made a bow.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower and small leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green inks on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how you can use different images to fill the tree on the Stampin’ Up! Pick A-Season stamp set. And I love the small sentiment and die from the Mixed Labels bundle – they are the perfect size for this little scene! Both the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set and the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are FREE items that you can choose with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration, which runs through February 28.

Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love Valentine’s Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love bundle is a fun Valentine’s Day stamp set with the new To The Point punch. The stamp set has pretty hearts, wonderful sentiments and heart themed frames that coordinate with the punch. I used it with the new Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for today’s Valentine’s Day card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I stamped the hearts from the Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love stamp set using Calypso Coral and Boho Blue ink on Basic White. I used stamped off ink for the large Calypso Coral and striped Boho Blue hearts and full strength Calypso Coral for the tiny clusters. I adhered the panel to a Boho Blue mat and wrapped it with Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine and made a bow. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hugs for Love stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I stamped the frame using Versamark ink on Boho Blue and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heat set the design before punching it out with the To The Point punch.

I popped out the little flowers from the Celebrate Love mix & match ephemera pack and colored them with the light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend. I adhered them to the punched out label with liquid glue and adhered the die cut sentiment on top with dimensionals. I popped the label on the card with dimensionals and finished with Flirty Flamingo dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the hearts next to the sentiment like the front panel and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love bundle is great for Valentine’s Day cards and the sentiments are perfect for any cards sending love. I was surprised at how well the stamped off Calypso Coral went with the Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine and dots. And if you had asked me about an orange and blue Valentine’s Day card, I would not have recommended it, but I think this works. I hope you think so too.

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle along with the Floral Delight designer series paper to make a Z-Fold birthday card for today’s hop. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun sketch challenge this week and it was fun to turn it into a Z-Fold card:

I started out by adhering all the panels of Floral Delight designer series paper to the sections of the card base and Z-Fold mechanism using liquid glue. Then I adhered the Z-Fold mechanism to the main card base using liquid glue. I started with the inside or back panel by centering and adhering the folded Z-fold mechanism to the panel and then opening it and adhering the front.

I used the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature die to cut a basic white panel and used a blending brush to apply pool party ink. I cut the branch from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes dies using Pecan Pie card stock. I cut two of the layered medium flowers from Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie and adhered them together. I stamped the sentiments using Old Olive ink on Basic White and Daffodil Delight and cut them out with the dies.

With the sentiments, stem and flowers, I was able to arrange things on the die cut circle and began adhering them. I adhered the stem with liquid glue and trimmed it at the circle edge. I adhered the ‘wishing’ sentiment with glue dots and the label sentiment under it with glue dots. Then I adhered the die cut circle to the card base with liquid glue, being careful to apply it to the left half of the circle and using a glue dot behind the ‘w’ in the sentiment.

I stamped four leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and finished with a Daffodil Delight bow and antique pearls.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed stamp and used stamped off ink for the background. I adhered DSP to the right side and adhered the panel to the inside part of the Z-Fold mechanism with liquid glue. And I added a final pearl to the DSP.

The Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle is definitely a favorite! The label word stamps and dies are wonderful and the die cut flowers are beautiful.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Hello Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day – the premiere of the new Stampin’ Up! January – April Mini Catalog! It is also the start of Sale-A-Bration and the release of a new set of Online Exclusives and a new Scrapbooking Brochure!

To celebrate, I made this hello card with the cute new Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle from the new mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I made my Granny Apple Green card base by scoring a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel and cutting off half of the front flap (cut at 2-3/4″). I covered the card base with Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper panels, the leafy panel for the small front panel, two garden panels for the short front flap and the stripe panel for the inside. I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink twice on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered them to bottom of the front panel with liquid glue.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch to punch three mushroom caps from strips of Toadstool Gardens DSP. I used a sponge dauber to apply Melon Mambo ink to the edge of the punched caps to make them stand out against the DSP. I used a Gray Granite strip of the DSP to punch mushroom stems and fussy cut one with my paper snips so that it is larger. I used a sponge dauber to apply Gray Granite ink to the outsides.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using a two step method so it was long enough. I adhered the label to the panel with glue dots and adhered the toadstool stems with liquid glue. I popped the toadstool caps on with dimensionals and finished with three green Tinsel Gems. I adhered the panel to the short front flap with liquid glue applied to the left side of the panel.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bug next to it using Gray Granite ink. I stamped the wings on Basic White using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the wings with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside with Stampin’ Seal so that it’s covered by the decorated panel.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun bundle and makes cheerful cards when used with the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration DSP. They’re both perfect for Springtime cards!

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun new stamp and punch bundle from the upcoming January-April 2025 Mini Catalog. It’s full of cute mushrooms and sentiments and there’s a coordinating pack of designer series paper that you can get for FREE with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration! Both the new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration will start on January 7, 2025. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available Jan 7, 2025) to a Pebbled Path mat. I adhered another strip of the DSP to another mat and adhered them both to the front background panel with liquid glue. I adhered the background panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the triple stem twice using Gray Granite ink and the small mushroom caps using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the ladybug using Pebbled Path ink and the sentiment in the top corner using Gray Granite ink. I cut the stamped scene with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to Pebbled Path and Granny Apple Green mats. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the mushroom caps from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks and punched them out with the coordinating punch. I stamped the large stem using Gray Granite ink on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I stamped the smallest cap using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips and adhered it to the ladybug with liquid glue. I punched the small stem using Gray Granite card stock and trimmed the top with my paper snips. I adhered the stems to the mushroom caps with liquid glue and popped them on the card with dimensionals. I finished with small Melon Mambo adhesive sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small mushrooms and stems from the Stampin’ Up!
Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Gray Granite and Fresh Freesia inks on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

In this closeup, you can see that the punch doesn’t leave a white border around the mushroom caps. It makes it so easy to line up – aren’t they so cute! So my fussy cutting was on the inside edge of the stamped images to get a similar look – again, it makes fussy cutting pretty easy. Here is the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle – the stamp set and punch:

Item 164880 – Happy Hibiscus Bundle

This bundle will be available when the new Mini Catalog opens next month and promises to be great fun! And Sale-A-Bration will also start on January 7, 2025 and run through February 28, 2025. That’s when you’ll be able to get the pretty Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for FREE with a $60 order.

Stampin’ Up! So Sincere With Wanted To Say Birthday Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple birthday card using the pretty die cut sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies and a panel of the new Sale-A-Bration designer series paper Bloom Impressions. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered pretty panel of Bloom Impressions designer series paper to a Blackberry Bliss mat. This pretty DSP pack is a Sale-A-Bration item that will be available for FREE with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration beginning January7, 2025. I wrapped it with a length of Daffodil Delight ribbon (from the upcoming Jan-Apr Mini Catalog available Jan 7) and tied a bow. I popped the panel on the front of a Melon Mambo card base with dimensionals.

I used the ‘Happy Birthday‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies to cut Blackberry Bliss and Basic White panels. I applied an adhesive sheet to the back of the Blackberry Bliss panel and cut the detailed word and then peeled the backing off to adhere it to the Basic White background word. I popped the words on the card with dimensionals.

I finished the card front with Melon Mambo glossy dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! So Sincere stamp set using Blackberry Bliss ink on a Basic White panel. I cut the flower and stem using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies using Melon Mambo and Shy Shamrock card stock and adhered them to the sentiment with liquid glue. I cut the center from a scrap of Blackberry Bliss and adhered it with liquid glue too. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies! The layered words are so fun and easy to do – plus the dot for the ‘i‘ is connected, so you don’t have to worry about losing it! And isn’t that new Bloom Impressions DSP so pretty! Sale-A-Bration will run from January 7 – February 28 and the Bloom Impressions DSP pack is one of the items that you will be able to get for FREE with a $60 order. This DSP pack contains 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double sided paper filled with floral designs in Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock. There’s so much to look forward to after the Holidays!

Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of a new stamp set from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 7, 2025. The stamp set is called the Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders stamp set and it coordinates with a new punch called the To The Point Label Punch. The stamp set has pretty framed borders for the punch and all occasion sentiments and accents. I’ve included a picture of the stamp set later in the post and you can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I embossed a panel of light Garden Green paper with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the top of a Winter Meadow designer series paper panel. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base.

I stamped the leafy border stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders stamp set using Garden Green ink and punched it out with the To The Point punch (both coming January 7, 2025). I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders stamp set using Blueberry Bushel ink. I cut a Blueberry Bushel panel with a circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies and adhered the punched label on top with dimensionals.

I adhered the layered circle to the card front with dimensionals and added some Blueberry bushel Tinsel Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower and vines from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders stamp set using Blueberry Bushel and Garden Green Stampin’ Write markers on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Bright Borders stamp set has sweet sentiments and pretty borders that coordinate with the To The Point punch. They will both be available when the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog is published on January 7, 2025. Here is the stamp set:

I love the scripted font with some of the sentiments and think of all the different ways you can use the little coordinating images. Stamped borders on the punched labels are a nice way to dress up a simple label and make it special.

Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations with Adventurous Sky Masculine Birthday Card

Good Morning! I’ve been having fun playing with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations bundle and I wanted to make a masculine birthday cake card. So I teamed this bundle up with the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set and dies and a pretty plaid designer series paper from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 7, 2025. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available January 7, 2025) to a Night of Navy mat with liquid glue and adhered them both to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. On a Basic Beige panel, I stamped the metal plate from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set several times using stamped off Basic Beige ink to give the panel some texture. I adhered the panel to a Night of Navy mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the large shadow from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp twice using stamped off Balmy Blue ink on Balmy Blue card stock and cut it out with the large cake die. I cut the triple frosting die from Basic Beige and adhered it to the cake. I was surprised and pleased at how the one cake die cut could make a triple layer cake! I also cut out the cake stand pieces and adhered them to the bottom of the cake. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set using Night of Navy ink on Old Olive and cut it out with the Unbounded Love die. I adhered the die to the card with glue dots and popped the cake on with dimensionals.

I stamped the little airplane from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Air stamp set using Old Olive ink on Basic Beige. I colored it with the SU007 Stampin’ Blend (from the Medium Light Stampin’ Blend markers), light Smoky Slate and light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I hope this looks like an airplane topped birthday cake. Should I have added candles? Or the banner?

For the inside of the card, I stamped the airplane from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set using Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment using Night of Navy ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations bundle is so versatile – there are so many options to make the cake, with the different sizes, frosting styles and accessories using stamps and dies. It was fun to personalize the cake top with the little plane from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky bundle. And don’t forget the pretty plaid designer series paper coming in the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog, January 7, 2025.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The new January – April 2025 Mini Catalog is coming out on January 7, 2025 and I’ve got a sneak peek of a bun new bundle – the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle. Sale-A-Bration will also start on January 7, and there’s a 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack called Toadstool Gardens that coordinates with the new bundle. I’ve used both of them for today’s sneak peek card. You can find the currently avaliable supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a strip of Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ DSP to the side of a sweet garden background panel of the DSP with liquid glue and adhered them both to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base. On a Basic White panel, I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink. I used a Blending Brush to apply Pool Party ink to the sky.

I stamped the little mushrooms to the panel using Smoky Slate, Basic Beige, Peach Pie and Fresh Freesia inks and cut it out using a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the large mushroom cap using Real Red ink on Basic Beige and punched it out using the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch. I punched the stem from Basic Beige and adhered them together with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and cut it out with a die from the Unbounded Love dies. I popped the die cut circle on the card with dimensionals and adhered the label with dimensionals and a glue dot. I adhered the large mushroom with dimensionals and finished the card with shiny sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Garden Green ink. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle with all the fun mushroom stamps and cute sentiments. Note that the punch cuts inside the stamped images, so that you won’t have white borders.

Isn’t it such a whimsical, fun set? The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle will be available next month when the January-April 2025 catalog goes live. It will be perfect for crafting fun on cold January Winter days!
