Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle will be available tomorrow when the Fitting Florets Promotion begins. The bundle is an early release from the upcoming January – June 2023 Mini Catalog and the promotion will also include products that are available for a limited time, including the pretty Fitting Florets designer series paper and the Framed and Festive cling stamp set. And this is all perfect for making Christmas cards. I used both of these products with the beautiful oval frames from the new bundle for a Double Easel fun fold Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

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

I adhered panels of the beautiful Christmas themed Fitting Florets DSP to the sections of the Real Red easel section before adhering the easel section to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with liquid glue. I cut the large oval frame from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle and stamped the Framed and Festive sentiment in Real Red ink on the oval (save the frame for the next project). I cut another large oval frame from Brushed Gold foil and a small oval from Real Red card stock. I placed the stamped large oval inside the large frame and adhered the small frame on top with liquid glue. I cut anther small oval from Basic White and adhered the frame and oval to the back of the large frame with liquid glue. This gives a nice finished look to the back of the large oval frame.

I adhered the frame to the front of the easel with liquid glue applied to the lower section of the oval. I stamped the double flower from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on Basic White. I colored it with So Saffron, Real Red and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the large greenery sprig die from Soft Succulent and two of the small detailed leaves from Evening Evergreen. I adhered the large greenery and detailed leaves to the frame with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals.

I adhered white dots to the berry parts of the greenery and finished the front with three of the new adhesive gold swirls that will be available tomorrow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the little leaf pair in the top corner in Evening Evergreen and the sentiment from the Framed and Festive stamp set in the center in Evening Evergreen. I colored the flowers and leaves with Soft Succulent, Real red and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with Fitting Florets DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The beautiful Fitting Florets designer series paper and the Framed and Festive stamp set will only be available during the promotion period that begins tomorrow. But the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle will be available afterwards when the new January – June 2023 Mini Catalog goes live. It’s sure to be a favorite!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes Christmas Wishes Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle is so cute for holiday cards and crafts. I especially love that you have dies and stamps for two symmetrical candy canes. I used the dies to cut candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder and adhered a Garden Green strip of Sweetest Christmas designer series paper across the front with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Real Red card base. I cut a real red panel with the second smallest Scalloped Contours rectangle die and adhered a Real Red panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the front before adhering it to the card with liquid glue.

I cut two candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas DSP using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle. I cut two more candy canes from Basic White and adhered the DSP candy canes to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the candy canes to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes cling stamp set in Real Red on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die.

I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set twice in Garden Green on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered the leaf sprigs to the card with dimensionals and finished the label with three red rhinestones. I used the Real Red ruffled ribbon to make a bow and adhered it to the candy canes with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped two of the leaf sprigs in Garden Green in the corner of the panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Garden Green Sweetest Christmas DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle is so cute and makes for festive Christmas cards, tags or decorations.

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I made a Christmas card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Brightest Glow stamp set. 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 Soft Succulent Festive Foils specialty paper to a Real Red mat. I die cut some sprigs using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from Evening Evergreen Glimmer paper, Silver Foil and Real Red card stock.

I stamped the large greenery outline from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White. I inked up the leaf stamp with Pear Pizzazz and stamped if off before stamping it over the leaves. I cut it out with the coordinating die. The leaf stamp doesn’t line up with the outline stamp giving the image an abstract textural look. I adhered the large Evening Evergreen die cut to the layered panel with dots of liquid glue and adhered the stamped greenery over it with glue dots. I adhered the Silver Foil and Real Red die cuts with dots of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Soft Succulent panel. I sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle. I adhered the die to the panel with dimensionals and popped the panel on the front of a Soft Succulent card base with dimensionals, covering the stems. I finished the card with silver pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pear Pizzazz in the corner and stamped the leaf over it in stamped off Pear Pizzazz. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle is so beautiful, so I thought I would try it in a Christmas palette. It’s an elegant twist on a Christmas greeting.

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here is a rustic Christmas card made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle along with the pretty Painted Christmas designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

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

I stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Magic cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Boughs of Holly designer series paper. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the panel to the bottom of a Painted Christmas designer series paper and then adhered the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I stamped two of the small detailed holly leaves and one of the large detailed holly leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly photopolymer stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Mossy Meadow card stock and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I cut two each of the pine sprigs from the Holly Berry dies from Garden Green. I cut the detailed berries from Real Red and the background berries from Poppy Parade and adhered them together with dots of liquid glue.

I arranged my die cuts on the card front to determine where to place them and started by adhering the pine sprigs with dots of liquid glue. I adhered the small holly leaves with liquid glue and the large leaf and berries with dimensionals. I made a bow with gold twine and adhered it under the berries with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Magic stamp set in Cherry Cobbler on a Basic White panel. I inked up the small holly leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves Of Holly stamp set in Mossy Meadow and stamped it off twice before stamping it on the panel. I adhered a strip of Painted Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle is so versatile that it can create very elegant Christmas cards with foil and rustic ones against Crumb Cake. So many ways to express Holiday creativity.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set has the prettiest Christmas sentiments and paired with pretty designer series paper make easy, elegant Christmas cards. I paired one of the sentiments with the pretty Boughs of Holly DSP for today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

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

I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly designer series paper to a Brushed Gold foil mat and then adhered it to the front of a Real Red card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the second smallest Scalloped Contours dies.

I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with gold pearls. I tied a length of gold trim around the fold and made a loopy bow to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Sahara Sand on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set also has an elegant set of label and background dies that you should check out. And don’t forget that pairing a pretty sentiment with a pretty paper is a great way to make quick and easy beautiful cards.

Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up Embossed Tree Christmas Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up is a fun Christmas bundle with bold modern graphic Christmas Trees, ornaments and presents. I used one of the Christmas trees with the pretty Painted Christmas designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with dimensionals. I embossed a panel of vellum with the snowflake embossing folder from the Wintry 3D embossing folders and adhered it to the front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the large tree from the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink on Garden Green card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny, then I cut it out with the coordinating die.

I adhered the embossed tree to the card front with dimensionals, covering the Stampin’ Seal adhesive under the vellum. I cut a little star with the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up dies from white glimmer paper and adhered it to the tree top with a bit of dimensional. I finished the card by decorating the tree with pretty white Seasonal Adhesive Sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up stamp set on a Basic White panel in Garden Green ink. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Painted Christmas DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The bold designs in the Stampin’ Up! Spruced Up bundle make beautiful simple Christmas cards without fuss. And the dies are wonderfully designed to cut an outline design at the same time as you cut the stamped image. I saved the outline tree from this card for an upcoming card.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White. Ink up the pine boughs from the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Christmas Card

Good Morning! Happy World Card Making Day! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have some time to craft. I made a Christmas card with the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set for today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Emboss a Basic White panel with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder and adhere it to a Basic White mat.

Use the Christmas Banner dies to cut three pine sprigs from Soft Succulent and two leaf clusters from Shaded Spruce and adhere them to the embossed panel with liquid glue. Wrap some gold trim around the die cuts, and adhere with glue dots.

Pine sprig and leaf cluster placement with gold trim.

Stamp the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments photopolymer stamp sets in Cherry Cobbler on Basic White. Stamp two each of the flowers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Cut two of the smaller poinsettia clusters from Cherry Cobbler and adhere them together with liquid glue to make two 3 layer flowers. Adhere the flowers to the embossed panel with dimensionals.

Stamp the Sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set in Shaded Spruce on Basic White. Cut the sentiment with the 2nd smallest long skinny Stitched Rectangle die and adhere it to the panel with glue dots. Adhere the decorated panel to the front of a Cherry Cobbler card base with dimensionals. Finish the card front with gold pearls on the flower centers and around the greenery.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the small flower in Cherry Cobbler next to the sentiment and the flower center in Crushed Curry. Stamp the sprigs in Soft Succulent around the flower and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Another Christmas card done, thank goodness for the pretty Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set. The pretty flowers make wonderful and easy cards, even without the beautiful Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder. Now relax and have some fun making cards!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes Christmas Card

Good Morning! Here is the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes Christmas card that I made during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. It’s been a while since I did a video and it was good to get back into the swing of things – my plan is to continue to do this weekly on Sunday afternoons.

This bundle is so festive and fun! It goes well with the Sweetest Christmas designer series paper, you can even use the dies to cut out candy canes from the DSP! 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 C hannel and you can view it HERE.

Use the large striped background die from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes bundle to cut a white glimmer paper panel and adhere the die cut stripes to the front of a Sweet Sorbet Card base. Cut a panel of Basic White with the second largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies and a panel of Sweetest Christmas DSP with the second largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the circles together and adhere them to the center of the card with liquid glue.

Use the Christmas Banners dies to cut a panel of Soft Succulent card stock with the pine sprig die and a panel of Shaded Spruce with the leaf sprig die. Adhere them to the card front with glue dots. Stamp two of the small leaf sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes cling stamp set in Garden Green on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. Adhere them to the card front with glue dots. Stamp the candy cane in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere the candy cane to the card front with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White. Cut it out with the wide banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. Loop a length of white baker’s twine through the top of a Jingle Bell trinket and make a bow. Adhere the jingle bell to the card front with a glue dot. Finish the card with three dots of red pearlized enamel accents and let them dry for about 1 hour so they don’t smudge (I did the inside of the card first and then had a finished card when the dots dried!).

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White panel. Stamp the little leaf sprig in Garden Green under the sentiment and adhere a strip of Sweetest Christmas DSP to the bottom before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I love candy canes and always put them on my Christmas Tree, so the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Candy Canes is perfect to celebrate the holiday! The sentiments are wonderful for holiday greetings inside and outside your card and when paired with the Christmas Banners bundle and the Sweet Christmas DSP, you have everything you need for a variety of beautiful Christmas cards, tags and favors!

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Cards

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had our Inkin’ Krew Quarterly Team meeting yesterday and had fun making beautiful Christmas cards with the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle. Inkin’ Krew teammates Darryl Robbins from Saginaw, MI, Carol Buckalew from Claymont, DE and I designed cards and led the team in making the cards for the virtual team meeting on Zoom. You can find the supplies we used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I designed the first card which doesn’t use any of the dies in the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle. I stamped the berries first in Real Red and Cherry Cobbler and then masked them before stamping the leaves in Shaded Spruce, both stamped off and full strength.

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red and then adhered the panel to a Real Red mat and Shaded Spruce card base.

I stamped berries and leaves using the same berry mask and stamped the sentiment in Real Red for the inside panel.

And I even made an envelope stamped with more berries and leaves.

Darryl designed this fabulous slimline easel card using the beautiful Boughs of Holly designer series paper and the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle. The card base is Mossy Meadow and the mats are Cherry Cobbler. The gorgeous label die is cut from Cherry Cobbler and the sentiment and berries are stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow on Mossy Meadow card stock go beautifully with the pretty DSP.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow and a berry branch Textural Element colored in Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends props the card front for display!

This slimline card fits the new Stampin’ Up! slimline envelopes as well!

Carol designed this gorgeous Z-fold card and also used the beautiful Boughs of Holly DSP along with the beautiful dies from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly bundle. The berries are die cut from Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler and the pine sprig accents are die cut from Soft Succulent and Basic White.

An Evening Evergreen square with striped Boughs of Holly DSP set off the gorgeous Brushed Metallic foil leaves and gold metallic ribbon. Basic White and Soft Succulent die cut pine sprigs and Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler die cut berries are tucked in with the gold. It’s all topped off with the sentiment label, stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

She finished the inside with the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and covered the envelope flap with the Boughs of Holly DSP.

I love how the versatility of this fabulous bundle is highlighted by these wonderful Christmas cards! You can stamp the berries and leaves, or just die cut them or do both and it comes out beautiful!
