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!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle is one of the new bundles in the upcoming 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog and it’s perfect for celebrating special occasions. I used it for a simple birthday card along with some of the new returning colors for today’s card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I stamped the balloon strings from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an Azure Afternoon panel of the pretty DSP. I adhered the panel to a Basic White mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped medium balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Blueberry Bushel inks on a Basic White panel and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered two balloons with liquid glue and the third with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White and adhered it to a Blueberry Bushel mat and. I adhered it to the front of the card with glue dots and finished the card front with pastel sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the streamers in Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst ink. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here are the stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle. There are star dies in the set, too!

And here are the pretty patterns in the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. There are so many fun designs and solids in Lemon Lime Twist, Pretty Peacock, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Berry Burst and Bubble Bath.

The new colors are so fresh and fun! And all these products will be available next week on May 2, 2023 when the new catalog launches!

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Spring Card

Good Morning! Whimsical garden gnomes have decorated our flower beds for the past couple of years and with the weather warming up, I knew I had to make a card with the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set before they retired. I paired this cute stamp set with the Happy Forest Friends designer series paper for a faux side step fun fold card to share today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used panels of Calypso Coral Happy Forest Friends designer series paper as mats and I adhered one to each panel of Happy Forest Friends DSP for my card. I used a strip of greenery for the first step and adhered it to the Pear Pizzazz card base. I used a forest scenery panel for the middle step and adhered it to the card. I used a tall forest scenery panel to adhere to the pear Pizzazz faux side step. I adhered the faux side step to the first step with Tear N Tape adhesive, burnished the score line and used Tear N Tape to adhere the back to the back of the card. It’s so easy to make, compared to the careful scoring and cutting for a regular side step card.

I stamped the two gnomes from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Pecan Pie (a new color available on May 2, 2023), Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Bubble Bath (another new color available on May 2, 2023) and Old Olive. I cut the gnomes out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the cad with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and adhered it to a mat and Pear Pizzazz panel. I adhered it to the front of the card with glue dots and finished the card front with Calypso Coral resin glowers and a Linen Thread bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral sprig and grass and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to a DSP mat and then to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I even decorated the back of the card with another forest scene panel! And I layered another panel of Happy Forest Friends to the top of the faux side step. This area could also be covered with another decorated Basic White panel and used to write a personal message.

Both the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set and the Happy Forest Friends designer series paper are retiring (and so is Pear Pizzazz!) so now is a good time to pick up these products for your Springtime gnomes card!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful Celebrate Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful photopolymer stamp set is a fun set with unique, modern images and fun sentiments. It coordinates with the Beautiful Shapes dies and I also used one of my favorites – the Brilliant Wings dies. Sadly these are all retiring, but they are so much fun to play with! Check out my card and find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Flowers & More designer series paper to the bottom of another panel of the DSP with liquid glue and adhered them to a Sweet Sorbet mat. I wrapped the panel with white crinkle ribbon and made a bow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small die from the Beautiful Shapes dies – isn’t the embossed border fun! I adhered the label to the card over the ribbon with dimensionals and adhered the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals.

I cut the large butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies from Distressed Gold specialty paper and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I finished the card with Starry Sky faceted dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful stamp set in Starry Sky ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower center in Crushed Curry and covered it with a mask before stamping the flower in Sweet Sorbet. I covered the flower with another mask and stamped the leaves in Shaded Spruce. I trimmed the bottom with a Flowers & More DSP and adhered it to a Sweet Sorbet mat before adhering it to the inside of the card. I love how that stamped flower resembles the flowers in the DSP!

Isn’t the butterfly beautiful in the Distressed Gold paper? And it’s on sale beginning April 4! Sad to see it go, but I’m so excited about the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! You can start ordering from it on May 2, 2023!

New 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

The new Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog will debut on May 2, 2023! The Demonstrator pre-order will occur during April, so there will be sneak peeks of wonderful new products and colors! I will be ordering catalogs for my current customers at the beginning of the month and sending them to my customers. If you would like a copy, simply place an order and I will be happy to send you one, too!

Get the complete details on the new 2023-2025 In Colors and the Color Refresh on my Stampin’ Up! Promotions Page.

This Last Chance Products promotion will include two lists of Last Chance Products that will no longer be available once the catalog retires. There will be one for each catalog retiring. For these retiring catalogs, there will not be a Carryover List. You can find carryover products in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

A few things to know about the retiring lists and the Last Chance products:

Items on the retiring list are only available while supplies last, so order soon to make sure that you are able to get the items that you are wanting!
The 2021-2023 In Color items, ink pads, refills, Stampin’ Blends and cardstock are usually some of the first items to sell out (The Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends are already gone!!).
There will be retiring colors as part of the Color Refresh, and these items will likely sell out early as well!
Some of the items will have sale prices listed. Those sale prices do not start until Tuesday April 4.
The last day to order from these catalogs will be May 1, 2023.

Note that while some of the bundles are on the retiring list, the individual stamps and dies/punched may be carried over. Also, if one of the items in a retiring bundle is deeply discounted, the total price may be less than the bundled price, so pull out your calculators to double check.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Have you seen all the beautiful floral stamp sets in the new January – April Mini Catalog? One of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight bundle and it’s because it’s not only pretty, but so versatile. For today’s card, which I made during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon, I stamped and colored one of the pretty images and embossed it for texture and I did not use a single one of the beautiful dies! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a So Saffron card base with liquid glue. I stamped the pretty flower branch from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight cling stamp set three times in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic white panel and colored it with light Calypso Coral, light Daffodil Delight and light Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends.

I embossed the stamped panel with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Crumb Cake mat with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front with liquid glue.

I wrapped the card front twice with Linen Thread and made a loopy bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set on a Crumb Cake panel in Evening Evergreen ink. I trimmed the end and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with three brushed gold butterflies.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower branch from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with the same Stampin’ Blends as the flowers on the front and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.

The stamped flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set are so delicate and look so pretty when stamped and colored. These yellow flowers remind me of a country stroll on a sunny Summer day – hopefully those days are not too far away!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the January Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Love” and I used the cute Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) Valentine! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the large rose from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Polished Pink ink on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamp first in full strength ink and then stamped the background stamp in stamped off ink. I cut it out with the coordinating die.

I stamped the double leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set twice in Soft Succulent ink in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I laid the die cut rose on the panel and stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink to the side.

I adhered the stamped panel to an Evening Evergreen mat with liquid glue and adhered the die cut rose to the layered panel with dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Soft Succulent bow and three In Color Opal gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the open hearts next to the sentiment in Polished Pink ink and adhered the panel to an Evening Evergreen mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

A simple pink rose from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle to say I love you. Perfect for Valentine’s Day!
