Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky Birthday Card

Good Morning! Here’s a fun masculine fun fold birthday card made with the awesome Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky bundle and the wonderful Take To The Sky designer series paper. I was inspired by a card made by my Inkin’ Krew teammate Tara Carpenter a few weeks ago and you can find her card HERE (she has a video, too!). You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I scored and burnished a panel of Take To The Sky designer series paper to make an accordion card base and adhered it to a Copper Clay card base panel. I cut another panel of the DSP with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. I traced the outside of the die on a Misty Moonlight panel and fussy cut it with my paper snip to make a mat and adhered the die cut to the mat with liquid glue. I adhered it to the front middle section of the card.

I used the large bi-plane dies from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky dies to cut the body of the plane from Copper Clay and the wings and propeller from Gray Granite. I used a black Stampin’ Write marker to color the wheels and adhered the die cuts together with liquid glue. I popped the plane on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and cut it out with the banner die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished it with an industrial trinket.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Adventurous Sky stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small bi-plane using Gray Granite ink and stamped several clouds using twice stamped off Misty Moonlight ink. I adhered the panel to a Copper Clay mat and adhered the layered panel to the little flap, being careful to only use liquid glue on the edge. I love this extra panel, it really makes the card special!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky bundle is perfect for flying fanatics, or someone who likes vintage machines. And this wonderful fun fold really allows the pretty DSP images to shine. The Take To The Sky designer series paper is included in the August DSP sale, but hurry, because the sale is ending soon.

Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! One of the new items in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to make a birthday card for today. 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:

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the diamond from the Fun Patterns embossing folders. I adhered it to a Basic White mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake Card base.

I adhered the balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to the card with glue dots and popped the party cat and dog on the card with dimensionals.

I adhered the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack to the card with glue dots along with three hearts. I finished the card with three iridescent faceted gems.

For the Inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I decorated it with more cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack – the banner, cake and another heart. And I finished with a sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. I love how it all coordinates!

The Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack is truly that, with cutouts covering several themes and occasions. These new products are so versatile – you can mix the elements from different packs since they all coordinate (like I did with my sentiments). You can mix them with stamped sentiments or images or other DSP. And they are perfect for quick and easy cards.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest Birthday Card

Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set with the Meandering Meadows and Country Woods designer series papers to make a masculine birthday card. The wood grain patterns look great with the watercolor woodland scenes! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods designer series paper to a Pecan Pie mat and adhered them to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set in Garden Green and Early Espresso inks on a panel of Woodland Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I cut it out with the Deckled Rectangle die using a two step method, so that it lets the stamped tree be the focal point. I adhered the die cut panel to a Pretty Peacock mat and wrapped it with Crumb Cake baker’s Twine and made a knot. I popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the new Everyday Greetings and Greetings of the Season stamp sets to stamp the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink on Crumb Cake card stock. I used the Deckled Rectangles dies to cut out the sentiment using a two step method and adhered it to a Pretty Peacock mat. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with three textured metallic dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel. I inked up the tree stamp using Garden Green and Early Espresso inks and stamped it on the side. I used the small greenery stamp to stamp the brush on the bottom using Garden Green ink, both full strength and stamped off. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Stamping on designer series paper is a fun technique and a great way to make it unique. The Stampin’ Up! Delicate Forest stamp set is pretty versatile and great for both Summer and Fall. And the coordinating dies are great as well!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fun Fold” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia bundle and the Flowering Zinnias designer series paper to make an accordion Birthday Card with a belly band. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered panels of Flowering Zinnias designer series paper to the front folds of the Melon Mambo accordion card base with liquid glue. This card base is 4″ wide (rather than 4-1/4″) and fits better in the standard envelope with the belly band.

For my belly band panel, I cut a circle from Old Olive using the Spotlight On Nature dies. I cut three sets of zinnia petals (two small and one large) from Real Red and centers from Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight using the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies. I assembled the zinnia, adhering it with liquid glue and adhered three leaves to the back – two Mossy Meadow and one Lemon Lime Twist.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Old Olive on Basic White and cut it out with the small rectangle die. I used the large rectangle die to cut a mat from Melon Mambo and adhered it to the back of the sentiment. I adhered the label to the die cut circle and adhered the zinnia on top with glue dots. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Melon Mambo strip to make the belly band. I loosely wrapped it around the card so it would slide and secured the ends with Tear-N-Tape. I used glue dots to adhere the decorated circle to the belly band.

I cut the two zinnia bud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies from Real Red and the small stem and leaves from Old Olive. I adhered them with glue dots and adhered them to a die cut circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I adhered the decorated die cut circle to the first middle panel with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Spotlight on Nature die. I cut small flowers from scraps using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies and adhered them with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the second middle panel with liquid glue.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on the left side of a Basic White panel and adhered the last strip of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the right side. I adhered the layered panel to the back panel of the card.

Belly band cards are so fun and special, especially for a birthday. The beautiful die cut flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia bundle are awesome for decorating a belly band. And it’s wonderful to see all the beautiful papers from the Flowering Zinnias designer series paper on a card!

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood bundle has some of the best images and dies for magnolias ever. These magnificent trees and flowers are special to me because of my memories of living in the South in my youth and having these in my yard. So I had to have this bundle when it came out in the Online Exclusives. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat with liquid glue and popped it on the front of a Basic Beige card base. I cut the large floral die from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood dies from Mossy Meadow card stock and adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood stamp set on a Basic White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the seed pod as well and colored the images with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Mossy Meadow on the top of the leaves and light Old Olive and Wild Wheat on the undersides. I used dark Daffodil Delight on the flower center and the seed pod and also shaded the seed pod with light Wild Wheat. I used light Petal Pink on the flower petals and used Wink of Stella on the flowers and seed pod to add a touch of sparkle. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies and popped the large flower on the card with dimensionals and adhered the seed pod with glue dots.

I cut some extra leaves from Mossy Meadow using the leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood dies and tucked them under the flowers, adhering them with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment using Mossy Meadow ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the long label die from the Wonderful Thoughts dies. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with Shiny Sequins.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends . I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The images in the Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood stamp set are gorgeous!! The dies are modern and fun and compliment the stamped images nicely. The set is a must have for anyone who likes magnolias!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle is a wonderful balloon theme bundle that is great for birthdays and other celebrations. I paired it pretty Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Springtime Birthday card. 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:

I cut two panels of Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and adhered them to an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue.

I used one of the balloon dies from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons dies to cut twelve balloons from different patterns in the Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I used the 1-3/4″ punch to cut a Basic White panel and adhered the die cut balloons to the circle with liquid glue to make a large bunch. I tied four strands of Baker’s twine in a knot and used glue dots to adhere one end to the back of the balloon bundle. I adhered the balloons to the card with dimensionals, pulled the strings taut and secured the knot to the card with another glue dot.

I applied some adhesive strips to teh back of a Basic White strip and cut out the detailed celebrate die from the Wanted To Say dies. I cut out the background die and pulled off the adhesive backing from the detailed die and adhered it to the background. I adhered the die cut word to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Rainbow dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped balloon in Fresh Freesia and the string in Smoky Slate. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card. with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle will be retiring at the end of April, and it’s a pretty versatile set.

Stampin’ Up! Reach For the Stars Birthday Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Reach for the Stars bundle is a fun space theme set with planets, an astronaut and space shuttle that is great for astronomy fans. I used the planet dies with the Stargazing designer series paper to make a birthday 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 Stargazing designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel to a Azure Afternoon mat and popped it on the card with Dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Up! Reach For the Stars dies to cut several planets in different sizes and colors from the Stargazing DSP.

I used the small ring from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars dies to cut a Rose Gold ring and tucked one of the die cut planets into it, adhering it in the back with a glue dot. I adhered the planets to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Level Complete stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I used the stars dies from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars dies to cut several stars from Rose Gold foil and adhered them with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars stamp set in Starry Sky ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the space dust in stamped off Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Freesia inks by the sentiment and stamped the stars in Azure Afternoon. I trimmed the bottom with a Strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I wanted to use the astronaut and space shuttle, so I stamped them in Starry Sky (I stamped off the space shuttle first) on the inside of the of the front flap.

The Stargazing designer series paper has amazing space images and the planets are beautiful, so I had to use them for the front of my card. And the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars bundle is fun and perfect for space enthusiasts. All of these fun products are on the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog retiring list, so they won’t be available for too much longer. And beginning April 9, the designer series paper will be on sale at 40% off!

Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight Cling Stamp set is an Online Exclusive with beautiful ducks and sweet sentiments and I used it to make a masculine birthday 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:

I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card base. I stamped the large flying duck from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Very Vanilla panel and cut it out with one of the Deckled Circles dies. I cut a Pecan Pie panel with the next largest die and adhered the duck to the front. I adhered the layered circles to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a Mossy Meadow panel with the large branch die from the Dainty Delight dies and cut it in half. I adhered the branches to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla. I cut it out with the Something Fancy angled label die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with cork rounds on the label and in the branches.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla. I stamped the small ducks from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set next to the sentiment and the pond in the lower corner. I adhered the panel to a PEcan Pie mat before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The shading on the stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set is fantastic, making it easy to create monotone images easily! And it’s perfect for making outdoors themed masculine cards.

Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the February Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Birthday” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools bundle with the Trusty Toolbox Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to make a fun fold masculine birthday card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I cut and scored the Gray Granite and Lost Lagoon card bases for my Joy Fold card and adhered panels of Trusty Toolbox designer series paper to the back section and front and back of the front flap of the Gray Granite card base and to the front and back of the front flap of the Lost Lagoon mini card. I used different patterns for each panel and adhered them with liquid glue. I adhered the Lost Lagoon mini card to the inside of the main Gray Granite card base with liquid glue, placing the hinge on the right side.

I used the drill dies from the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools dies to cut Crushed Curry, Gray Granite, Copper Clay, Lost Lagoon and Basic Black card stock. For the Basic Black and Lost Lagoon sections, I used the large drill die to partially cut the pieces and finished cutting with paper snips. I adhered the die cuts together with liquid glue and adhered the drill to the front flap of the large card base.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools dies to cut the pencil, tape measure and paintbrush from Trusty Toolbox DSP and fussy cut the screwdriver and pliers. I used dies to cut nuts and bolts from Gray Granite card stock and adhered the all the tools to the inside flaps with liquid glue.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Carousel Horses stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black in on a strip of Trusty Toolbox DSP and cut it out with the Gorgeously Made label die. I cut the toolbox from Copper Clay card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools dies. I adhered the handle to the mini card front with liquid glue and adhered the label on top. I adhered more die cut and fussy cut Trusty Toolbox DSP tools to the card and popped the toolbox on top with dimensionals. I adhered a die cut DSP hammer on top with glue dots and dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White. I stamped the nuts and bolts in Gray Granite and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools bundle is a great tool themed bundle that is perfect for making cards for your handy man or handy lady who is great at fixing things.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the December Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set with the beautiful new Flight and Airy Sale-A-Bration designer series paper that will be available on January 4, 2024. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

Today’s card is celebrating a special birthday and it’s a dainty gate fold card.

I adhered panels of the new Flight and Airy designer series paper to the front panels of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the large floral label die from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies and I cut a panel of Flight and Airy DSP with a sweet bird with the plain die. I inserted the bird die cut into the slots of the floral die cut – I love how this works!

I cut several small flowers from Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink and adhered them to the larger die cut and adhered some pink pearls to some flower centers. I adhered the panel to the left side of the card with liquid glue applied to half of the die cut.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Petal Pink and cut it out with the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two-step die cutting technique. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished the card front with a Night of Navy bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink ink in the corner and colored them with Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends. I used the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to color the berries and made some stems. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card and adhered two floral panels of Flight and Airy DSP to the inside of the front flaps.

The Flight and Airy DSP is a Sale-A-Bration item that you will be able to get for free with a $50 purchase when Sale-A-Bration starts on January 4, 2024 and it’s so pretty! And it goes so well with the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set and dies and so many other current and retired Stampin’ Up sets. Be sure to check it out!
