Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m not ready for Winter yet, but I was inspired by this beautiful scene in the One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper and use the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow bundle to make a Winter Wishes card. 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 the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue and adhered a dark wood grain panel of the DSP over it.

I cut two of the twiggy sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow dies from dark silver foil and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I trimmed the bottoms with paper snips. I cut an Old Olive panel with the leafy sprig die and used white Pearlized Enamel Effects to apply the berries. After it dried, I adhered it to the card with glue dots and trimmed the bottom.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow cling stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I used the pretty circle die from the Labels Aglow dies to cut it out. I folded a length of Lemon Lolly ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label before adhering the label to the card with dimensionals. I tucked the trimmed sprigs under the right side of the label and finished the card front with white iridescent sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf sprig in stamped off Old Olive in the top corner and trimmed the bottom with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Another card featuring the beautiful images in the One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper pack. Doesn’t it go well with the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow bundle?

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight bundle and the pretty Country Floral Lane designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge in the Blog Hop and here is the color palette we are using this week:

I adhered a panel of Country Floral Lane designer series paper to a Basic White mat. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight cling stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the third largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I cut the Mossy Meadow panel with the large leaf vine die from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight dies. I cut a Sweet Sorbet panel with the 4-flower die and cut a stem and two small leaf pairs from Mint Macaron. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the stem with glue dots and adhered them to the vine with glue dots. I cut two of the Queen Anne’s Lace type flowers from Mint Macaron, trimmed the stems and tucked them in the vine adhering them with glue dots. I cut three daisy like flowers from Petal Pink and adhered Crushed Curry flower centers to them before adhering them with glue dots.

I made a bow with Balmy Blue and White ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot. I finished the label with In Color Opal rounds and adhered the panel to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight bundle has beautiful die cut and stamped wild flowers on a smaller scale. The die cut flowers have beautiful debossed details and the stamped flowers have coordinating dies so you have the option of cutting them out. And the sentiments are beautiful too!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! One of the prettiest packs of designer series paper currently available is the Splendid Day specialty DSP with it’s colored foils and floral prints. I wanted to use it for a special card and so I paired it with the beautiful sentiments and label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle. And then I realized that the flower from the new Framed Florets bundle went perfect with the DSP, so I pulled it in as well. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I embossed a panel of Petal Pink card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Petal Pink card base. I adhered panels of the beautiful Splendid Day specialty designer series paper to a Petal Pink panel with Stampin’ Seal. I cut a Basic White and Rose Gold foil panel with the leaf sprigs from the Splendid Stems dies (I cut two from the Rose Gold foil, saving one for the inside panel) and adhered them to the layered DSP panel with glue dots.

I folded a short length of Rose Gold and White striped ribbon and adhered it together with glue dots. I adhered it next to the sprigs on the layered DSP panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with copper embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut the sentiment out with the pretty label die. I adhered it to the panel with dimensionals over the ribbon and sprigs. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped two flowers from the Framed Florets photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled them with copper embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heated the flowers with my heat tool until they were bright and shiny. I cut them out with the coordinating die and saved one for the inside of the card. I adhered the second one to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with three champagne rhinestone jewels.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the large fern from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Petal Pink ink and stamped it off. Then I stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered the Rose Gold foil die cut sprig over the fern with dots of liquid glue. I adhered a strip of Splendid Day specialty DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the second flower on top with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous floral foil from the Splendid Day specialty designer series paper works well with the Rose Gold foil, copper embossing powder and rose gold striped ribbon. And the beautiful sentiments and label die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle are the perfect finish. Foils and embossing are easy ways to make an extra special card for any extra special occasion or loved one.

Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle with the Rustic Harvest designer series paper for an Autumn Wishes card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun color challenge this week. The Rustic Harvest DSP was perfect for this and I popped it with Sweet Sorbet.

I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper to a Basic Black card base with liquid glue. I cut the large floral dies from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle from Basic White using both the detailed die and the outline die. I cut the outline die from a Basic Black panel and adhered them together with liquid glue. I adhered the die cut to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered a folded length of black and white gingham ribbon and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the flower over the ribbon and label with dimensionals and finished with three white dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored it with Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is really pretty and perfect for fall cards! I can’t wait to play with it again!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I have a simple card made with the Nature’s Prints bundle and Sun Prints designer series paper. And I really made it special by adding the beautiful die cut from the Artistic dies. It’s not really a fall theme card, but I hope you like it. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a beautiful panel of Sun Prints designer series paper with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy card base.

I cut a panel of white glimmer paper with the beautiful floral die from the Artistic dies and adhered it to the card front with tiny dots of liquid glue. It’s too bad you can’t see the sparkle from the glimmer paper, because it pops the white flowers in the DSP even more than normal!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints cling stamp set in Versamark ink on Night of Navy. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny and then cut the sentiment out with the pretty label die. I accented the label with an iridescent pearl and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I love the shiny embossed sentiment with the glimmer die cut!

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy ink and stamped it off 3 times. I stamped the flower in the corner of a Basic White panel. I embossed a strip of Sun Prints DSP with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty floral die from the Artistic dies goes beautiful with the elegant Sun Prints DSP! And I love it with the sentiment and label die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple monotone Best Wishes card made with the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle and the gorgeous Sun Prints designer series paper. My card is in shades of Gray Granite and Basic White with touches of sparkle in the glitter ribbon and rhinestone gems. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of Sun Prints designer series paper with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered the panel to a Gray Granite mat with liquid glue. I popped it on the front of a Gray Granite card base with dimensionals.

I cut a Basic White panel with the wreath from the Natural Prints dies and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints cling stamp set in Versamark ink on Gray Granite. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder until it was shiny and cut it out with the label die.

I popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I made a bow with white organdy glitter ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot and added clear rhinestones all around the wreath.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Gray Granite on the side of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle has beautiful images of ferns and wildflowers along with the sweetest sentiments. The label die is gorgeous with an embossed border and the the other dies will cut the stamped images and the pretty wreath.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! I used the one of the pretty floral pattern papers from the Abigail Rose designer series paper with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose bundle to make a simple Best Wishes card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat. I cut the double flower from Petal Pink card stock using the Cottage Flowers dies in the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose bundle. I adhered the flower to the DSP panel with liquid glue and wrapped it with a pink ribbon and tied a bow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose cling stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Crumb Cake panel and cut it out with the die from the Painted Labels dies. I adhered the label to the DSP panel with glue dots and popped the panel and label on the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals.

I finished the card front with three Polished Dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the large rose from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose stamp set in Petal Pink on a Basic White panel after stamping off once. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Abigail Rose DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Abigail Rose DSP has a rustic, homespun look that goes well with the elegance of the images in the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose bundle. I love the browns with the Petal Pink, the die cut outline flower really pops. Thanks for taking a look!

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! I used the gorgeous Hues of Happiness designer series paper with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle to make today’s Best Wishes card. This sentiment is great for a birthday, wedding or any special occasion. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Hues of Happiness designer series paper to a Granny Apple Green mat and popped it on the front of a Daffodil Delight card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the spiral notebook die from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle and then cut it again with the eyelet lattice die. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut three flowers and four leaf clusters from the Hues of Happiness DSP – I love that the gorgeous flowers in this DSP can be cut with Blossoming Happiness dies. I adhered the large flower to the card front with dimensionals and adhered the other flowers and leaves around it with glue dots. I made a loopy bow with the pretty Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and adhered it under the flower.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds photopolymer stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with beautiful Glossy Dots. I finished by giving the flowers some sparkle with Wink of Stella.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bouquet in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Daffodil delight. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle goes beautifully with the Hues of Happiness DSP, but also has beautiful outline flower stamps that can be colored and cut out with the dies. And the sentiments are beautiful and can be used for both the inside and outside of the card. This is a must have set for flower lovers!

Stampin’ Up! Crane of Fortune for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Crane of Fortune bundle with the Symbols of Fortune specialty designer series paper for a Good Luck 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 and here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I adhered a panel of Symbols of Fortune specialty designer series paper to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. I adhered a Soft Succulent mat to the back of another panel of the DSP and adhered that to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the pretty crane from the Stampin’ Up! Crane of Fortune cling stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Basic White panel and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I cut a leaf sprig from the leftover and two sets of ginkgo leaves from Soft Succulent. I adhered the leaf sprig and a gingko leaf die cut to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crane Of Fortune stamp set in evening Evergreen on Calypso Coral and cut it out with the Messages die. I folded a short length of Soft Succulent ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with pretty Polished Dots.

For the inside, I stamped the dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Crane Of Fortune stamp set in Crumb Cake in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Symbols of Fortune DSP to the side and adhered the gingko leaf die cut with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Today’s hop sketch is really nice for showing off pretty designer series papers. And this lovely crane goes perfectly with this DSP, they did a really nice job of shading with this stamp!

Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better Card

Good Morning! Today I have a fun card with a cute group of snow people from the Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better cling stamp set. No, we haven’t had any snow yet, but this is such a cute set, I had to break it out!! Plus I wanted to use it with the pretty Sale A Bration Penguin Playmates DSP before Sale A Bration ends in a couple of days! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of the Misty Moonlight striped designer series paper from the Penguin Playmates designer series paper with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder – it’s hard to see, but it gives the DSP a special feel in person. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat.

I stamped the fun group of snow people from the Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Highland Heather, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate. i outlined the image and the inside of the snow people with my light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to give it some chilly contrast. I adhered the snow people to a Basic White mat and then adhered them to the striped DSP panel.

I wrapped the panel with a length of Misty Moonlight and silver Baker’s twine and made a bow on the side. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better stamp set in VersaMark ink on a Misty moonlight strip and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the powder with my heat tool. I cut the sentiment out with the Messages die and adhered it to the snow people panel with dimensionals over the twine. I adhered the panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base and adhered silver metallic pearls to the snow people panel.

For the inside of the card, I stamped some snowflakes in Pool Party around the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better stamp set in Misty Moonlight and the bird and snowball in Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored the bird and snowflake ribbon with my Real Red Stampin’ Blend and adhered a strip of embossed Misty Moonlight striped DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Snowbody Better stamp set is really cute and it’s a perfect set for sending winter time greetings. I’m not ready for snow yet, but these happy little guys are great for getting in the mood for winter fun.
