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!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the November Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate!” and I used the cute Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds bundle to share my Winter celebrations! 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 Pool Party card stock with the snowflakes in the Wintry 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a panel of Storybook Gnomes designer series paper. I adhered the layered panel to a Real Red mat and adhered it all to the front of a Pool Party card base with liquid glue. I cut a Basic White panel with the Scalloped Contours die and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds cling stamp set in the corner using Soft Suede ink. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I cut the large branch die from the Decorated with Happiness bundle from Mossy Meadow and adhered it to the card with glue dots (including the lower branch on the DSP). I punched the bird from Real Red card stock with the Songbird Builder punch in the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds bundle and stamped the eyes in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I punched a beak from Crushed Curry and a breast from Basic White and adhered them to the bird with liquid glue, along with the little wing.

I cut the small pinecones from Crumb Cake and the small detailed pinecones from Soft Suede using the Christmas Pines dies and adhered them together. I adhered the pinecones to the card with glue dots and adhered the little bird with diensionals.

I made a bow from Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot. I finished the card front with Pool Party Fine Sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little bird from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eyes in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the beak with the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write marker. I made a mask to cover the bird and stamped the small pine branch from the Decorated with Happiness stamp set in Mossy Meadow around the bird and in the upper corner. I stamped the Sentiment in Soft Suede and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Storybook Gnomes DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.

I’ve wanted to use the pretty Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds bundle for a winter bird card since the weather got cold. And the pine branch from the Decorated Pine dies makes the perfect perch!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Sneak Peek

Good Morning! You’ve heard about the upcoming Fitting Florets promotion and I finally got mine this week and here is my first sneak peek. The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the upcoming 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and I’ve used it along with the Fitting Florets designer series paper for a special day 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 the small floral Fitting Florets DSP to the top of a Basic White panel and adhered a Balmy Blue panel of the DSP to the bottom. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen on a Basic White panel in the upper corner of the oval. I cut it out with the slotted oval frame – don’t throw away the frame!

I used the same frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets dies to cut a Balmy Blue frame and adhered it to the layered DSP panel with dimensionals (my half dimensionals fit perfectly!). I adhered the sentiment oval to the panel with liquid glue, centering it in the popped up frame. I cut three leaves from Evening Evergreen and adhered them to the panel with dots of liquid glue

I cut a Polished Pink floral cluster from the large floral panel of Fitting Florets DSP with the coordinating Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets die and adhered it to the layered panel with dimensionals and glue dots. I made a double bow from white crinkle ribbon and adhered it to the bottom with a glue dot. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Polished Pink card base with dimensionals and finished it with three iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the floral cluster stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Melon Mambo ink and stamped off twice before stamping on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment over the floral cluster in Evening Evergreen ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fitting Florets DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is sure to be a favorite with all the floral images and gorgeous oval dies. The coordinating Fitting Florets DSP is an exclusive that will only be available during this promotion. I love that it’s got a pretty image that coordinates with a die, but there’s also several patterns that are great for Holiday cards, so it’s also perfect for this busy season and I love floral Christmas cards too! Read more about the items in this beautiful collection below.

Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Oktoberfest Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You Oktoberfest card that I made during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. Oktoberfest is a great excuse to gather with friends over beer and German food (which I love!) in the Fall and the Brewed For You bundle is perfect for this occasion! 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.

Adhere a panel of Boughs of Holly designer series paper to a Soft Suede mat with liquid glue. Adhere a strip of Cajun Craze Rustic Harvest DSP across the panel with liquid glue. Cut a panel of Layering Designs vellum with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the vellum to the panel with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the panel to the front of a Cajun Craze Card base with dimensionals.

Stamp two of the mugs from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You photopolymer stamp set in Gray Granite on Basic White. Use the mug fill stamp to add Crushed Curry to the middle of each mug. Stamp the mug foam stamp twice in Gray Granite on Basic White. Cut out the mugs and foam with the coordinating dies. Use dots of liquid glue to adhere the foam to the back of the mugs. Adhere the top mug to the card with glue dots. Adhere the second mug to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Gray Granite card stock. Cut it out with the short thick banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the label to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a small rustic dot.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the large jug next to the sentiment in Gray Granite ink. Trim the bottom of the panel with a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brewed For You bundle is perfect for making masculine cards, but I think that Oktoberfest can also be enjoyed by us gals! But if there’s a man in your life with a Fall birthday, this is the perfect bundle to pull out for a birthday card!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cards

Tomorrow is the big day! The new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog will be available for ordering! I have a final set of sneak peek cards made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle. Stampin’ Up! held a virtual event called Creativity Now for Demonstrators where we made several samples using this beautiful bundle and we saw interviews with the designers on the creative process. It was so informative and fun to get behind the scenes on what goes into making products that allow us to express our creativity!

Anyway, I made these three beautiful cards with this beautiful bundle and I’ll give you a quick description of what I did to make them. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used for each card. And tomorrow you’ll be able to order the beautiful Splendid Thoughts bundle along with the gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer series paper!

Sending Hugs Card

I embossed a Calypso Coral panel with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder and brushed white craft ink on top with my blending brush. I wrapped it with the new Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) and made a bow before adhering it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the two leaf sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set with Versamark ink on Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink and embossed them with Copper embossing powder and cut out the images with the corresponding dies. I cut the out the other dies from Basic White along with the arch from the beautiful Splendid Day DSP. I fussy cut the copper embossed sentiment and adhered it to the arch. I adhered the leaves to the card front with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with iridescent pearls.

For the inside, I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink on a Basic White panel. I adhered it to a Calypso Coral mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Much Love Card

This was a fun card to make as it’s focal point is the coloring on the background – it’s done with Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend markers! I used the brush tip and went back and forth with the dark markers in the middle and the light markers on the outsides. I randomly stamped the little bee from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pool Party. I adhered the panel to a Fresh Freesia Splendid Day panel and popped it on the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with dimensionals. I partially stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes die and adhered a length of folded Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) to the back. I die cut two leaf sprigs from Soft Sea Foam and adhered them to the back of the label and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with beautiful Fresh Freesia opal dots.

I stamped the little bee from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Let’s Celebrate Card

I randomly stamped the large leafy plant from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink all over the front of a Petal Pink card base. I used my paper snips to distress the sides of a Thick Basic White panel – the rough edges are a perfect contrast to the elegant foil arches! I wrapped a length of Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) around the panel and made a knot on the side and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I cut the arch die from the Splendid Stems dies from four different foil panels in the Splendid Day DSP and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Open Leaf Trinket (available tomorrow) to the card with glue dots and embossed the sentiment in Copper on Soft Sea Foam. I cut out the sentiment with the Stylish Shapes die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with iridescent rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I covered the card front and stamped the leafy plant from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink around the edge like the card front. I inked it up and stamped it off before stamping it on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle is beautiful and so versatile! And the Splendid Day specialty DSP is gorgeous and perfect for elegant weddings! And these products will be available tomorrow when the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog goes live!

If you haven’t received a catalog yet, but would like to be a customer of mine, I’ll be happy to send you one!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek Cards

Good Morning! Yesterday we had our Quarterly Inkin’ Krew Team meeting and three of our teammates designed cards using the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. This beautiful bundle is part of the Splendid Day suite that also contains the beautiful Splendid Day specialty designer series paper and will be available on July 1, 2022. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Rosie Kean from Rapid City, SD designed this gorgeous Double Z fold wedding card showing off the beautiful foil papers from the Splendid Day specialty DSP. The beautiful foils are matted on Soft Sea foam in the outer card and the inner card uses the linen paper with the Soft Sea Foam leaf panels as mats.

The card bases are Sahara Sand and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set are stamped in Soft Suede. The gorgeous die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies accent the Sahara Sand fabric DSP panels and Rosie designed an optional Basic White back panel for writing a personal message. I added the Soft Sea Foam Bow and iridescent pearls to the front panel.

Karen Ksenzakovic from Somerville, NJ designed this card using all the gorgeous foliage die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies. The Soft Sea Foam card base and Pear Pizzazz mat are perfect with the subtle leafy background of the DSP and allow the beautiful bold die cuts in Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry and Evening Evergreen to really pop!

She finished the card front with a beautiful Soft Sea Foam bow on the linen die cut flower pot. I added the brass butterflies around the leaves. For the inside Karen also added a sentiment in addition to the stamped foliage from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set. You can find more of Karen’s beautiful designs on her blog – Creative Stamping Designs.

Tara Carpenter from Hallsville, MO designed our last card, and it doesn’t show up very well, but it uses shimmery white card stock for the front and inside panels, so it has a beautiful subtle sparkle! She showed us how to mask off the vertical stripe and use blending brushes to apply Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis inks to make a gorgeous multicolor stripe on the card front.

A single Soft Succulent die cut leaf wrapped in Evening Evergreen twine around the panel matted in Soft Succulent and adhered to an Evening Evergreen card base perfectly frames the blended stripe. I had the courage to stamp the sentiment (and it was straight – yay!) and finish it with three iridescent rhinestones. I carried the blended strip to the inside of the card and stamped the sentiment and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle in Evening Evergreen and stamped off Soft Succulent on the inside panel. Find more of Tara’s beautiful cards on her blog – Tarabeth Stamps.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Splendid Day specialty designer series paper will be available on July 1, 2022 and you will not regret putting it at the top of your wish list. It was fun playing with these beautiful products and making cards with Rosie, Karen and Tara during our team meeting and I’m grateful that they shared their beautiful designs with us.

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Celebrate card made with the fun Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful bundle and the beautiful retiring Abstract Beauty specialty designer series paper. 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 floral Abstract Beauty specialty designer series paper to a Crushed Curry mat with liquid glue. The Abstract Beauty specialty DSP is filled with touches of gold foil and fun abstract art designs and it goes well with the Beautiful Shapes dies. I wrapped the panel with gold trim and tied a bow on the side. I punched two Coastal Cabana leaf sprigs with the Bough Punch and adhered them to the panel with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful bundle in Night of Navy ink on Balmy Blue card stock and cut it out with the Beautiful Shapes die. I cut a panel of gold foil with the large oval die from the Beautiful Shapes dies and adhered the small label on top with liquid glue. I love the embossed edges on these labels!! I adhered the layered label over the gold trim and leaf sprigs with dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to the front of a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I finished the card front with two 2021-2023 In Color Opal gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful stamp set in stamped off Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Coastal Cabana and colored the small flower centers with my Night of Navy Stampin’ Write marker. I cut a small gold foil oval and adhered it to the center of the Melon Mambo flower and adhered a strip of Abstract Beauty DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Luckily the Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful bundle stamps and dies are not retiring, but next month they will no longer be available as a bundle with the 10% discount. The Abstract Beauty Specialty DSP is retiring and it is also a unique size – it’s 4″ x 6″. This makes it perfect for memory book scrapbooking as well as cardmaking. And it’s also on sale in the Last Chance Products promotion!! Be sure to check it out before it’s gone!

Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront Happy Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront stamp set is another one of the photopolymer watercolor stamp sets that create wonderful landscapes. This one has some angled stamps that are wonderful for shore scenes. There are no sentiments in the set, so I used the Many Messages cling stamp and Messages die for my sentiment – the scene is perfect for a smaller sentiment. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered three strips of In Good Taste rustic wood grained designer series paper to the front of a Coastal Cabana card base. I embossed a panel of Soft Suede with the Macrame embossing folder and adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the angled ocean stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront stamp set in Pacific Point on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sky stamp from the stamp set in Balmy Blue on top of the ocean and the angled shoreline in Sahara Sand under the ocean. I stamped the spatter in Sahara Sand over the sand and I stamped the sea oats in Soft Suede. Finally, I stamped the birds from the Mountain Air photopolymer stamp set in Basic Gray in the sky. I adhered the panel to a Pacific Point mat and wrapped a length of linen thread around the panel and made a bow.

I popped the stamped panel onto the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set in Soft Suede on Balmy Blue card stock and cut it out with the Messages die. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals over the linen thread.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sea oats from the Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront stamp set in Soft Suede on a Basic White panel. I adhered another strip of In Good Taste DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Oceanfront stamp set is fun for making artistic ocean landscapes. And I love the little sentiment from the Many Messages stamp because any day by the shore is a happy day!
