Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty Suite is has pretty florals and wonderful sentiments. I used the two bundles in the suite along with the designer series paper for today’s friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a strip of Petal Pink Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty designer series paper to a floral panel with liquid glue and adhere the layered panel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. Cut another panel of the DSP with the large rectangle Nested Essentials die and adhere it to the card.

Use the large Petals Of Beauty leaf die to cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the triple leaf on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp two of the medium flowers using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling on Very Vanilla. Use full strength Petal Pink for the detailed stamp, stamped off petal pink for the background stamp and Darling Duckling for the center. Cut out the flowers with the coordinating die. Adhere the leaf cluster to the card with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals.

Use the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color a length of Irregular Weave ribbon and tie a knot. Adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flowers. Stamp the Sentiment from the Words of beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Lost Lagoon ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere it to the card with glue dots and finish with Darling Duckling dots.

For the inside, stamp the flower from the Petals of Beauty stamp set using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling inks in the corner of a Very Vanilla panel. Trim the side with Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brushed with Beauty suite has lots of pretty flowers and leaves – I love the two step stamped flowers! And the word dies in the Words of Beauty bundle are great with three layers! I love that there are so many other sentiments and label dies that fit them perfectly. And the colors in the DSP are so soft and pretty.

Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels bundle has wonderful sentiments for Christmas cards and tags and goes beautifully with the Christmas Greenery bundle and Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper. This is my go to for this year’s Christmas cards and I’ve been busy trying to get them done. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week that picks up nicely with the Traditions of Christmas DSP:

Adhere a strip of Traditions of Christmas DSP to another panel and adhere them both to a Real Red Mat. Wrap the layered panel with Secret Sea ribbon and make a bow on the side. Adhere the panel to the front of a Real Red card base.

Cut the big leaf and two holly leaves from the Christmas Greenery dies from Old Olive and adhere them to the card with glue dots. Cut the pine sprig from Secret Sea and gold foil sheets and adhere them to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels stamp set using Real Red ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the large label die. Adhere the label to the card using dimensionald and finish with sparkly sequins.

For the inside, stamp the flower and pine branch from the Christmas Greenery stamp set stamped off Real Red, Secret Sea and Old Olive inks in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This card is a bit thick because of the bow, so I will probably tuck it into a gift package or give it directly to the recipient rather than put it in the mail. But I’ve made lots of flat, mailable, beautiful Christmas cards with the Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels bundle and Traditions of Christmas DSP, so no one will be missing out. Making Christmas cards is one of my favorite parts of stamping and using these beautiful products makes it a big pleasure!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful For You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is great for Fall cards and Thanksgiving. I used it with the Gathering Together designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a panel of Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue. Adhere another panel to an Early Espresso mat and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Cut another panel with the third largest Stylish Shapes circle die and adhere it to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set on Basic Beige using Early Espresso ink. Cut it out with the small angled Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of irregular weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set twice using Cajun Craze ink on Basic White. Stamp the mushroom and two sets of berries using Early Espresso ink and cut it all out using the coordinating dies. Adhere the berries and leaves to the card with glue dots and the mushroom with dimensionals. Make an Early Espresso bow and adhere it with a glue dot and finish with Early Espresso dots.

For the inside, stamp the leaf and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Cajun Craze and Early Espresso inks in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty You Are Amazing Card

Good Morning! Here’s a card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty bundle from today’s new Online Exclusives release. This bundle is part of the new Brushed with Beauty suite collection which also includes the Petals of Beauty bundle and Brushed with Beauty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post. (I will update the Supply List later today with links to the new products.)

Yay! Vellum is back! Emboss a vellum panel with the new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder and adhere it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with Stampin’ Seal. Use the second and third largest Textured Notes rectangle dies to cut panels of the Brushed With Beauty designer series paper and adhere them to the card.

Cut a Mossy Meadow panel of Brushed With Beauty DSP with the large leaf sprig from the Petals of Beauty dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the ‘because‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink. Cut it out with the wide label die and adhere it to the card using glue dots.

Stamp the large flower from the Petals of beauty using Calypso Coral ink. Use full strength ink for the detailed stamp and stamped off ink for the background stamp. Cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp the center using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the coordinating die and adhere it to the large flower. Adhere the flower to the card using dimensionals. Apply Adhesive sheets to the back of a Mossy Meadow panel and cut it out with the small ‘just‘ word die from the Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty dies. Cut the middle size die from Very Vanilla and peel off the backing and adhere the Mossy Meadow word to the Very Vanilla word – Don’t forget the dot for the ‘j‘! Adhere the word to the card using bits of dimensional and glue dots and finish with a loopy Early Espresso bow and Calypso Coral dots.

For the inside panel, stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Early Espresso inks on Very Vanilla. trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty bundle and the rest of the items in the Brushed With Beauty Suite Collection are a nice change from Holiday cards and them more I play with these products, the more I’m in love with them. The two step stamping florals are great and the sentiments are too – and so versatile. I wonder if I can incorporate the images into Christmas cards?

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments with You Are Remarkable

Good Morning! I used the pretty leaf sprig stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set along with one of the pretty sentiments from the You Are Remarkable stamp set to make a simple Fall friendship card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

I did practice stamping my leaves on printer paper to determine the relative placement and colors of the different leaves and I recommend that you do so first so that you have a layout you are happy with. I started with the Old Olive large leaf in the lower left corner and built out towards the right and upper corners. I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso inks for the different leaves and Cajun Craze ink for the berries. And I stamped on Very Vanilla card stock.

After stamping the leaves using full strength ink, stamp along the edges using stamped off ink to fill in empty spots using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. I used the same ink for each leaf in the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set. After I was happy with the leaves, I stamped the sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set using Cajun Craze ink in the empty space.

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Gathering Together specialty DSP to a Crump Cake mat and adhered the stamped panel on top using liquid glue. I wrapped it with Old Olive Linen Thread and tied a bow before popping it on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I finished with retired Crushed Curry dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaves and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set in the top corner of a Very Vanilla panel using the same colors as as the card front. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I really love stamping leaf sprays for Fall cards and the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set is great for this with the distinktive (different shades in one stamp) stamps and the variety of shapes. You get a chance to really get creative with your stamps and inks without relying on die cutting. A nice way to show off a great sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve got another super simple thank you card today made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Use the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and Pecan Pie ink to stamp on a the plain side of a panel of Gathering Together specialty DSP. Stamp the image twice, making a double outward spiral design.

Adhere the stamped panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with liquid glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

Wrap a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and make a bow. Finish the card with Antique Pearls.

For the inside, stamp the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on a strip of DSP using Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is a wonderful bundle and I feel guilty not using the great rectangular dies. But the images and sentiments are great too, especially for this time of year.

Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of a new bundle that is coming out next month – the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty bundle. This bundle is part of the new Brushed with Beauty Suite collection that will be available on November 4, 2025 when the next set of Online Exclusives is released. You can find the currently available card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

This is a simple fun fold where you take a top folding A2 card base (4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″) and cut the front in half and flip the bottom piece 90 degrees. So after scoring and burnishing the main card base, adhere pretty floral panels of the new Brushed With Beauty designer series paper (available Nov 4) to the front flap and inside back panel. Stamp the sentiment in the top right corner of a plain panel of the Brushed With Beauty DSP. I used the fun hello sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. Adhere the stamped DSP to a Crumb Cake panel and adhere it to the front flap with liquid glue.

Cut a Mossy Meadow panel with with leaf sprig die from the new Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White. Stamp the detailed stamp first using full strength ink and then stamp the background stamp using stamped off ink. Cut the flower out with the coordinating die. Stamp the detailed medium flower using stamped off Petal Pink ink on Basic White. Color the inside using the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die.

Cut the large outline flower die from Calypso Coral card stock and the small outline flower die from Petal Pink card stock. Adhere the die cut outline flowers to the stamped flowers using glue dots. Adhere the layered flowers to the card using dimensionals and add Crumb Cake Pearls of Beauty dots (available Nov 4) to the flower centers. Use Linen Thread to make a quadruple loop bow and adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucked under the small flower.

For the inside panel, stamp the background image of the small triple flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty stamp set using stamped off Petal Pink ink on Basic White. Use the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the centers and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Petals of Beauty bundle is a pretty floral set with two step stamping and dies to cut the stamped images and cardstock. Here is the stamp set and dies that are in the bundle. Note that these come in the new larger Stampin’ Up! packaging. Also, these new plastic packages will be available in packs of 10 for $16 on Nov 4!

And here is the beautiful Brushed with Beauty designer series paper that will also be available.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little sneak peek of some of the new things that will be available in the next Online Exclusives release. Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the October Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Giving Thanks” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies with items from the Gathering Together Suite to make a Thanksgiving Day card.

Adhere a plaid panel of Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to the dark side of a two-tone Early Espresso mat and then to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Emboss a Crushed Curry panel with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder and adhere it to the card with liquid glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Iconic Imagery stamp set on the light side of a two-tone Cajun Craze panel using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the large label die from the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies. Adhere the panel to the card with liquid glue.

Use the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies to cut a long leaf spring from Granny Apple Green, two berry sprigs from Cajun Craze, an oak leaf cluster from Crumb Cake, an acorn sprig from Pecan Pie and a flower from Crushed Curry. Arrange and adhere the leaves, berries and acorns to the card with glue dots.

Adhere the flower to the card with a dimensional. Tie a knot in a short length of irregular weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flower. Finish the flower center with Cajun Craze dots.

For the inside, I simply trimmed a Basic White panel with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card With Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies make pretty Fall floral arrangements for cards and other projects.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Thanks For Being You Card

Good Morning! The Floral Charm designer series paper is so pretty with florals in lush Fall colors and complimenting designs. I picked a couple of patterns to use with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle to make a simple card to express gratitude and friendship. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Pretty Peacock leafy panel of Floral Charm designer series paper to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue. Cut a floral panel of the DSP into three strips and adhere them to a Fresh Freesia mat. Adhere the mat to the card front with dimensionals.

Cut the top part of the leafy sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day dies from Pretty Peacock and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of ribbon and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Seal. I used a retired Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon for a touch of glamour, but you could also use the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends to color a white ribbon and use that instead.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set on a Fresh Freesia panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Cut it out using the small oval label die from the pretty Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside panel, stamp the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set in the corner of a Basic White panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink towards the bottom, leaving room for a DSP trim. Adhere it to the inside of the card.

I can’t decide which of the florals in the Floral Charm designer series paper pack are my favorite, but a simple card design like this is a good way to show off pretty papers. Cutting the floral pattern in thirds adds a little extra interest to the card design without too much complication.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a simple hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set and the pretty Celebration Sips designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a panel of Celebration Sips designer series paper to a Berry Burst card base with liquid glue. Cut another panel of DSP with one of the Textured Notes rectangle dies and adhere it to a Timid Tiger mat. Adhere the layered DSP panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Blackberry Bliss ink on Timid Tiger. Cut it out using the Textured Notes die using the two step method so that it is shorter and fits the sentiment.

Use the light Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends marker to color a length of white ribbon. Fold the ribbon and adhere it to the back of the sentiment label with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals and finish with Blackberry Bliss Shimmer Gems.

For the inside, use the small flower dies from the Impressions Abloom dies to cut Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight and Timid Tiger flowers. Use the Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the center and adhere them to a corner of a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhere it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set is my go to set for simple sentiments. They are the most commonly used sentiments and the fonts will go with many different styles.
