Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever stamp set is a fun stamp set that is perfect for personalizing cards for family members. I used it with the pretty new Mixed Media Florals designer series paper for a very simple note card that lets the pretty flowers in the DSP shine. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a black and white floral panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to the front of a Basic Black card base. Before I adhered the DSP panel, I used the brush edge of my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the edge of the DSP panel, since it had a white line from the paper core that would have shown up when adhering it to the card base.

I adhered a pretty floral bouquet panel of Mixed Media Florals DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and popped it on the card with dimensionals. It’s such a pretty design and goes beautifully against the black and white floral background.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Calypso Coral and cut it out with a pretty label die from the Mixed Labels dies. I made a bow with Basic Black baker’s twine and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot and popped the label on the card with dimensionals. I finished the label with black sparkle gems.

For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink 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! Best Family Ever stamp set is perfect for making cards with sentiments customized to family and friends. And I love how the sentiment fit so perfectly with the pretty new Mixed Labels dies. Card making is so simple when you let pretty designer series paper be the focal point, accented with pretty sentiments and embellishments.

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Friendship Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m hoping you are enjoying all the new products that were just released this week because I certainly am. So I’ve used the new Online Exclusives Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle to make 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 pretty color challenge this week and I used most of the colors in my card:

I adhered a panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and embossed it with the new Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder before adhering it to a Boho Blue mat. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the large tulip stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends, Flirty Flamingo for the tulips, Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Daffodil Delight for the small flowers. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Boho Blue and cut it out with small label die from the Perennial Postage dies. I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set, cut it out with the coordinating die, and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots and popped the sentiment label on top with dimensionals (I doubled up on the left side). I finished the card with a triple bow made with gold trim and gold flat dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the little ladybug underneath and colored it with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle are so beautiful and this large stamp is huge, so it easily fills up a card front. It’s a great set for coloring, using any technique and it will be wonderful for sending Spring wishes for any occasion.

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy New Year and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle set has pretty spring florals and ladybugs and is part of the Mixed Media Florals suite – a part of a new collection of Online Exclusives that will be available next week on January 7. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post. And you can download a flyer with pictures of the Mixed Media Florals suite below.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I stamped part of the large floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another floral sprig in the top corner and colored the flowers and leaves with watercolor pencils. I used Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight for the tulips, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Coastal Cabana for the leaves and Balmy Blue for the small flowers.

I adhered a panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper (available Jan 7) to the front of a Balmy Blue card base. I adhered the floral panel to Shy Shamrock and Flirty Flamingo mats with liquid glue and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set (available Jan 7) using Smoky Slate ink on Balmy Blue and cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped it on the card with dimensionals and finished with a Balmy Blue baker’s twine bow and Flirty Flamingo dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Smoky Slate ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle will be available on January 7, 2025 with a new selection of Online Exclusives. Click on the picture below to download a flyer and get the details on the Mixed Media Florals suite products.
