Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Hope card using the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle from the upcoming 2025-2025 Annual Catalog. This bundle is full of inspirational sentiments and beautiful labels and I paired it with the beautiful Unbounded Beauty designer series paper. You can find currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Petunia Pop card base. I cut two floral panels of the new DSP with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love dies and adhered them to the card with dimensionals leaving a space in the middle.

I stamped the Hope sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop ink on a Pretty In Pink panel and cut it out with the same die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals between the DSP die cuts. I stamped the flower from the new Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Petunia Pop and stamped off Pretty In Pink inks and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the leaves using Summer Splash ink and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I adhered the die cut flower and leaves together with glue dots and adhered Petunia Pop ribbon behind it with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flower and ribbon to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the front with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in stamped off Pretty In Pink ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It was so fun to play with the new 2024-2026 In Colors while making this card. The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle are so different and beautiful and the label dies are too. Here is a picture of the bundle:

And here are pictures of the pretty Unbounded Love DSP:

These are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. These products and the new 2024-2026 In Colors will be available next week on May 1, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Hello Card

Good Morning! The pretty woodland and wildflower images in the Meandering Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is so inspirational with Spring popping up everywhere. I used a panel with the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set to make a simple hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set at the bottom of a Bubble Bath card base using Blueberry Bushel ink.

I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow designer series paper to a Blueberry Bushel mat. I wrapped it with a length of Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and tied a bow.

I adhered the layered DSP panel to the card with dimensionals and added a Sweet Sorbet pearl to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel. I added color with the Bubble Bath and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

With the pretty Meandering Meadow designer series paper, card making is quick and easy. And the images and sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set are the perfect compliment for lots of occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Enjoy The Journey Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches cling stamp set has sweet nature images and pretty sentiments. I used the mushrooms with the Notes of Nature dies and Poetic Expressions designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I cut a panel of Poetic Expressions DSP with the binder ring die from the Notes of Nature dies and adhered it to the front of a Pecan Pie card base. I adhered a floral panel of the DSP on top with liquid glue.

I stamped the mushrooms from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and adhered it to the card. The images are pretty without coloring, but I’m sure that they will also be fantastic colored using any coloring tools. I cut a Mossy Meadow strip with the large leaf from the Notes Of Nature dies and the small leaf cluster from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I trimmed the ends of the label and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I tied a knot in a short length of Pecan Pie ribbon and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I finished with rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the mushroom stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and stamped it off three times before stamping it on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set goes well with the Notes of Nature bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. The rustic, natural looks of these items compliment each other well. I love it when you can mix and match items from different Product Suites to make pretty cards!

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details bundle is full of simple, sweet images and wonderful dies. I used the pretty teacup image and circle die with the pretty Poetic Expressions designer series paper to make a sweet friendship or encouragement blank note card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered a floral panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the teacup from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and colored it with light Balmy Blue, light Bubble Bath, dark Lemon Lolly and light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with a pretty circle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White strip. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to make fishtails on both ends. I punched the ends of a Wild Wheat strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and adhered the stamped label to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and popped the teacup on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Pecan Pie ribbon tied in a knot and pink sequins.

I left the inside of the card blank, simply trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering it with Stampin’ Seal.

The teacup is one of three pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set. The stamp set also has wonderful sentiments in a pretty mixed font and the die set is wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies Card

Good Morning! If you’re like me, you can’t wait for the cold weather to be over and Spring to arrive. Well I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to help me focus on Spring. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party Card base. I used the cloud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut some clouds from the cloud pattern DSP and arranged them on the card. I trimmed the sides of two of the clouds and adhered the large cloud to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sun from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set tin Daffodil Delight on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die – it’s a little tricky to line up, so be patient. I cut the circle from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered it to the center before adhering the sun to the card. I adhered the smaller clouds to the card with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut the tulips and stems from Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green card stock and adhered them to the card with liquid glue and dimensionals.

I tore the top of a Shaded Spruce strip and adhered it to the bottom of the card to simulate grass (shout out to old school techniques!). I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and punched the end with the Banners Pick-A-Punch. I adhered the label with dimensionals and finished with fun Pool Party lightning bolts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Poppy Parade and the stem in Granny Apple Green in the bottom corner of a Basic White card base. I trimmed the top of the panel with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle – it has so many Spring stamps and dies and happy sentiments. And it really goes well with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. Are you ready for the brighter skies of Spring?

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Card

Good Morning! I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle from the Annual Catalog to help showcase one of the pretty new Sale-A-Bration items – the Flight & Airy designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card’s design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Freshly Made Sketches 617 – A Sketch by Narelle:

I embossed a panel of Bubble Bath with the cross hatch design from the Basics Embossing Folders and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat. I used the second smallest square from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut three birds from the pretty Flight and Airy Sale-A-Bration designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats. I adhered the birds to the embossed panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the panel with glue dots.

I wrapped a length of white baker’s twine around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base and accented each bird panel with a white matte dot.

I kept the inside simple, adhering a strip of the pretty Flight and Airy DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set are perfect for expressions of friendship, caring, love and encouragement. And they can be used with lots of designs. The pretty Flight and Airy designer series paper can be used with many of these sentiments – and probably most other stamp sets as well!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels Card

Good Morning! The pretty Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels cling stamp set is full of unique and wonderful sentiments and it’s one of my favorites. I paired it with the Paper Florist dies and and used the Foursquare masks to make a pretty background. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used the fancy mask in the Foursquare mask pack to cover a Basic White panel and secured it with post-it tape. I applied Moody Mauve ink with my blending brush all over, making some areas darker. Next, I used the smaller ‘X’ mask to apply Lemon Lime Twist ink with a blending brush – the ‘X’s line up in the center of the fancy squares. I ran the panel through the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder to add texture and used a sponge dauber to add Moody Mauve ink around the edges. I adhered the panel to the front of a Moody Mauve card base with liquid glue.

I used the large elongated label die from the Something Fancy dies to cut a Moody Mauve panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels dies in Moody Mauve ink on a Basic White panel. I cut it out with the smaller elongated label die and adhered it to the large die cut with liquid glue. I adhered the layered label to the card with liquid glue.

I cut a Bubble Bath panel with the Paper Florist die and applied some Moody Mauve ink to the centers of the large petal clusters with a sponge dauber. I used a Bone Folder to curve the petals down and adhered the clusters together with liquid glue. I cut centers from Basic White and Daffodil Delight and adhered them to the flower. I popped the flower on the card with dimensionals. I cut two leaves from Lemon Lime Twist card stock and tucked them under the flower with a glue dot. I finished the card with a Parakeet Party Baker’s twine bow and Lemon Lime Twist tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels stamp set in Moody Mauve ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I cut the hearts from the Share A Milkshake dies from Bubble Bath and adhered them next to the sentiment. I made a strip of Basic White to match the front background and used it to trim the bottom of the panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It’s fun to use masks for creating different backgrounds and playing with different coloring techniques! I was happy to use my pretty background with the Stampin’ Up! Happy Labels stamp set – it’s an easy go-to for friendly and caring sentiments.

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Friendship Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is a monotone friendship card in yellow and gold using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched cling stamp set. I’ve paired the cotton ball image with some Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Crushed Curry and Wild Wheat card stock to get a natural look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I made a video tutorial for this card and posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

Adhere a panel of Crushed Curry Inked Botanicals DSP to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with liquid glue. Stamp the cotton ball image from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Wild Wheat panel. After the ink dries, color the cotton balls with a white watercolor pencil. This gives the cotton a soft highlight! Adhere the stamped panel to a Crushed Curry mat with liquid glue.

Wrap a length of Wild Wheat jute around the panel and tie a knot. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Crushed Curry strip. Use paper snips to make a fishtail banner on one end. Adhere the label to the stamped panel with glue dots.

Cut a panel of leafy vellum with the leaf sprig die from the Gorgeously Made dies and adhere it to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the die cut to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the stamped panel to the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty images from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set are perfect for stamping on card stock and coloring with watercolor pencils. The result is softer than coloring with markers and it’s pretty easy to do. I hope you like the colors – I don’t think that they’re for everyone, but I do like the way the card came out. Experimenting with different colors is a big part of the fun!

Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The fireflies are out now in my backyard, so I was inspired to bring out the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way photopolymer stamp set and dies to make a summer card. 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:

I adhered a fern panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Lost Lagoon mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the lantern from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I traced the lantern on a Vellum panel and cut it out with my paper snips. I stamped the large light in Lemon Lolly on the trimmed vellum and adhered it to the back of the lantern with glue dots.

I cut the large and small fireflies from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I also cut the large wings from vellum and large body from Lemon Lolly and assembled the large firefly with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots. I took a single strand of Pebbled Path jute and looped it through the lantern handle before adhering it with dimensionals. I adhered the small fireflies with glue dots and the large firefly with dimensionals. I finished the card front with faceted dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small firefly from the Stampin’ Up! Lightning The Way stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I stamped the small light in stamped off Lemon Lolly and stamped the firefly trail in full strength Lemon Lolly. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set and dies make a pretty card for summer nights. The sentiments are inspirational and full of positive energy and the firefly stamps and dies are wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Card

Good Morning! Here’s a quick encouragement card made with the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched cling stamp set. This is a stamp set with pretty sketched images and sweet sentiments and I paired it with a wood grained pattern from the upcoming One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper that will be available on July 6, 2023 as part of a new Online Exclusives release. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the pretty butterfly image from the Stampin’ Up ! Softly Sketched stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I cut it out with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to a Pebbled Path mat with liquid glue. I took a single strand of Pebbled Path jute trim and wrapped it around the image twice and tied a knot – I love the rippled look of the single strand of jute.

I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available July 6, 2023) to Pebbled Path card stock with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a strip of Basic White. I cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and trimmed the right end.

I adhered the layered butterfly image to the upper center card front with dimensionals. I adhered the trimmed label with liquid glue under the art panel and finished the card front with pastel iridescent jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the simple pencil sketches in the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set. They are perfect for making cards with a rustic handmade look. The sentiments in this set are just wonderful! And the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper will be available on July 6, 2023 when the new Online Exclusives products are available! Yay!
