Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle is a perfect for cool refreshment to celebrate the end of a long, hot summer! 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 Celebratory Sips designer series paper to the front of a Strawberry Slush card base. Emboss a Granny Apple Green strip with the Glass and Gardens 3D embossing folder and adhere it to the card. Use the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies to cut Basic White and Blackberry Bliss circles and adhere them together. Adhere them to the card with liquid glue.

Use the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle to cut drinks from the Celebratory Sips DSP. Cut them again from Basic White and adhere the backings to the DSP die cuts. Adhere the tall drink to the card with liquid glue and the short drink with dimensionals. Use the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Spot to to stamp the umbrella on a yellow Celebratory Sips DSP square and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere it to a Basic White umbrella die cut and pop it on the card with dimensionals.

Use the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle to cut different fruits and leaves from the Celebratory Sips DSP and adhere them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink on Pretty in Pink card stock and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. Adhere it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finish with sparkly gems.

For the inside, Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips stamp set in the corner of the last Basic White oval using Granny Apple Green ink and trim with DSP. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..

The Stampin’ Up! Cheers & Sips bundle is such a pretty and fun set! It makes you feel like you’re on vacation in a tropical paradise.

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee Celebrate Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is part of the January Scrapbooking Brochure release and has cute bees, flowers and octagon dies. I used the large bee with the Cute As Can Bee designer series paper and Perennial Postage dies for an any occasion Celebrate card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card was inspired by the cute sketch in the current Sunday Stamps Challenge – SSC 355 Layered Up:

I adhered a panel of Cute As Can Bee designer series paper to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I cut three floral panels of the DSP with a rectangular Perennial Postage die and adhered them to Petunia Pop mats before adhering them to the card front.

I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black inks on Basic White. I stamped the Wings using Pool Party ink and cut them all out (including the antenna) with the coordinating dies. I ahdered the wings and antenna to the back of the bee and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Petunia Pop ink on Bubble Bath card stock and cut it out with the small Perennial Postage die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished the card with yellow gems.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Petunia Pop ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Petunia Pop ink and leaves using Old Olive. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is a wonderful and happy set and goes well with the Cute As Can Bee DSP. With it’s bright, cheerful colors, these are perfect for Spring cards.

Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery Fall Card

Good Monday Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery bundle is a wonderful Fall and Winter set with great sentiments, images and dies. I used the sentiments with the pretty Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Fall card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of the reverse side of Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. My die cutting machine does not have a lot of force, so it worked out well, but if your machine is tight, it might tear the DSP badly – so I recommend you modify your sandwich to use a regular cutting plate with shims instead of the specialty plate as I’ve noticed that this DSP is a little delicate for embossing. This embossing folder is still beautiful lightly embossed. I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Crushed Curry card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a floral panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Cajun Craze mat with liquid glue. I used the cute Mini Alphabet dies to cut the letters for ‘FALL‘ from the same background print as the embossed panel and adhered them to the floral panel with liquid glue. I wrapped the panel twice with Copper Clay Linen Thread and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot.

I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals and finished with Mossy Meadow dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the ‘Celebrate‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White. I stamped ‘the season‘ using Copper Clay ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set are wonderful and full of energy. The letters in the Mini Alphabet dies are perfectly sized for cards and are fun with the stamped sentiments. And the floral images in the Splendid Autumn DSP are just beautiful!

Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I was so inspired by this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit so I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle to make a card using some of the same design elements. And I combined them with a simple fun fold technique to make a book fold 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 that uses the new In Colors:

I embossed panels of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper with the diamond pattern in the Fun Patterns embossing folder. I adhered the large panel to the book end of a Summer Splash card base and adhered the end shut with liquid glue. I adhered a floral pattern of the DSP to the main card front. I adhered a small strip of embossed DSP to the lower right corner of the front panel to pop the sentiment. I used the two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Sunny Splash circle and adhered it to the card with pieces of dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Petunia Pop, Peach Pie and Summer Splash inks on Basic White. These are two step stamps and I stamped the detailed images first full strength and then the background images using stamped off ink. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered the leaves to the back of the flowers with glue dots. Then I adhered the flowers to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I added three Pretty In Pink shimmer dots to the card and wrapped the binding with Summer Splash ribbon, tying a bow.

I left the inside of the card simple, trimming a Basic White panel with embossed DSP and adhereing the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The book fold design is a simple fun fold that makes your card extra special.

Stampin’ Up! Round We Go Celebrate Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle is such a fun set that includes a die to make a 3D rosette and other fun circle themed stamps and dies. And it also includes great sentiments in an energetic fun font that are perfect for any kind of celebration, including birthdays. I made a general purpose celebrate card that could be used for any fun occasion. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel with the 3D rosette die from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go dies twice, lining up the DSP design so it would be similar all around. I folded the rosettes on the score lines and adhered the end tabs of the rosette die cuts to the underside of the opposite rosette die cut using liquid glue. I flattened the rosette and used lots of liquid glue to adhere it to an Azure Afternoon die cut scalloped circle.

I used the curved edge petal die from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go dies to cut two Azure Afternoon and one Bubble Bath petals. I used the angle edge petal die to cut a Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist petals. I adhered one of the Azure Afternoon petals to the rosette with liquid glue and the other to the Lemon Lime Twist petal. I adhered the Bubble Bath petal to the Berry Burst Petal. I finished the rosette with a medium circle cut from Pretty Peacock. I arranged the rosette and petal circles on the card and adhered them with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the long skinny die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I used Rainbow gems in each circle and scattered some more around the card front.

For the inside of the card I stamped the angle petal from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set in Azure Afternoon on a Basic White panel. I rotated the stamp and stamped again between each petal. I cut a small Lemon Lime Twist circle for the center. I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle is so fun and happy and perfect for lighthearted, whimsical cards for any occasion. There are so many different ways to combine the die cuts and stamped circle images, you could keep yourself (or your kids) busy for hours playing with different ideas and colors.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s an Anniversary card made with the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle from the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog that will be available next week. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week with the theme of Celebrate. My card celebrates a Wedding Anniversary!

I embossed a panel of Distressed Gold specialty paper with the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic white card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of leafy vellum with the third largest deckled rectangles dies and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I made a large loopy bow with gold twine and adhered it with a glue dot.

I stamped the large rose bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle using Versamark ink on Basic White and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until the powder was bright and shiny and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card over the loopy bow with dimensionals. I cut two leaf sprigs from gold foil and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the roses.

I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White strip. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and trimmed the ends with my paper snips. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the single rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was briight and shiny. I embossed a strip of Distressed Gold specialty paper with the Distressed Tile 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 Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamps are beautiful when embossed! When a celebration is called for, gold is always appropriate! And remember that the Stampin’ Up! January – April 2024 Mini Catalog will be open next – that’s another thing to celebrate!

Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are the perfect anecdote for a hot summer day, and I chose a chocolate shake, my favorite, 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 yummy theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I cut a strip of Bubble Bath with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contours dies and embossed it with the stripe embossing folder from the Stripes and Spatters 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the side of a Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and adhered the layered panel to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base. I embossed an Bubble Bath panel with the stripe embossing folder. I cut a Basic White panel with the third largest scalloped rectangle die and adhered the embossed panel to the inside. I adhered the rectangle to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the glass from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White (stamp the detailed stamp first and stamp off the filler stamp before stamping over the detailed image). I cut the glass out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the shake top in Crumb Cake and the cherry and straws in Real Red. I cut these out with the coordinating dies and cut a little whipped cream from Basic White. I adhered the pieces together with glue dots and adhered the top to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Versamark ink on Azure Afternoon and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Cheerful Daisies dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Cherry in real Red and the hearts in Bubble Bath and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are fun way to celebrate summer and send summer greetings to friends and family. And as a bonus, they are calorie free, don’t melt in the heat, and won’t give you brain freeze. Now I’m ready for some ice cream!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another card using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle. This time I used the festive Golden Celebrations acetate to decorate my balloon and used the fun tag die with the Good Feelings cling stamp set. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week, and it’s a fun one:

I stamped the medium balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set all over a Basic White panel using stamped off Azure Afternoon, stamped off Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly inks. I adhered the stamped panel to a Berry Burst mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of ann Azure Afternoon card base with dimensionals.

I cut an Azure Afternoon panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the tag die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons dies and cut a Basic White panel with the same die. I stamped the sentiments from the Good Feelings cling stamp set in Berry Burst and Azure Afternoon on the Basic White tag and adhered the DSP tag to the back. I looped Sweet Sorbet, Starry Sky and Parakeet Party metallic ribbons through the tag hole.

I used an adhesive sheet to adhere a panel of Golden Celebrations specialty acetate to an Azure Afternoon card stock panel and cut the layered panel with the large solid die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons dies. I adhered a length of gold cord to the card front with glue dots and adhered the balloon to the card with dimensionals. I adhered the layered tag to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with gold sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped the medium balloon in Lemon Lime Twist and the balloon cord in Smoky Slate ink. I cut the bottom of the panel with the confetti die twice and adhered the panel to a Berry Burst mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The fun Gold Celebrations acetate make the balloon so shiny and fun! And the confetti die cuts on the tag and the inside panel are perfect for the Hop’s Celebrate theme.

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another card using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle. I used the large balloon with the Charming Sentiments stamp set and Bright and Beautiful designer series paper for a Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop this week, and here’s the pretty sketch we’re using:

I adhered a striped panel of Bright and Beautiful designer series paper to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered another panel with little dots to a Fresh Freesia mat and adhered it to the card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the speckles for the large balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons photopolymer stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White. I stamped the large solid balloon in Bubble Bath over the speckles and cut the balloon with the coordinating die. I cut a tassel from Fresh Freesia card stock and colored a length of white Baker’s Twine with a dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the twine and tassel to the card with glue dots and popped the balloon on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with pink iridescent sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the medium balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Bubble Bath ink and stamped the strings in Smoky Slate. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia are so pretty together! The colors are so soft and I love how they layered to make the large balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta Celebrate Card

Good Morning and Happy Cinco de Mayo! We always find this day as the perfect excuse to enjoy Mexican food with margaritas. So I had to make sure to use the fun Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta photopolymer stamp set to make a Celebrate card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the little candies and confetti from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set all over a Basic White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the candies with Stampin’ Blends – light Sweet Sorbet, light Daffodil Delight, light Granny Apple Green and light Tahitian Tide. I cut strips of Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide and Granny Apple Green card stock with the fringe die from the Beautiful Balloons dies and adhered them to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat and then to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base.

I cut a Daffodil Delight panel with the second largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered a length of Black Baker’s twine to the top half, wrapping it around the back and securing it with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the llama piñata from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it using Stampin’ Blends – dark Sweet Sorbet, dark Daffodil Delight, dark Granny Apple Green and dark Tahitian Tide. I fussy cut it with paper snips and popped it on the die cut circle with dimensionals. I adhered the circle to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on Basic Black 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 the sentiment with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. I finished the card with pastel iridescent rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the candies from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored them like the front. I adhered it to a Basic Black mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set is so fun and I had to combine the piñata with the Beautiful Balloons fringe die – aren’t they perfect together? A colorful card to finish off a busy week – with tacos and margaritas for later!
