Good Morning and Happy March! Hopefully Spring arrives soon. I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Heirloom Arrangements kit for today’s cards and it was so much fun and creative relaxation to arrange the die cuts and make the cards!
The kit comes with detailed instructions for two cards and shows examples that are pretty easy to re-create for the rest. There are several die cuts left over, and I just added them to the existing designs so they were all used. I did add baker’s twine and sequins from my stash to each of the cards and used Pretty Peacock ink to stamp the butterfly with the Pecan Pie grid. Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.
Aren’t the vintage die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Heirloom Arrangements kit so pretty? There are other sentiments in the stamp set, but I decided to only use the ‘for you‘ sentiment on the cards. I love how you can make each card unique and that there are 8 cards. This kit was just added to the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection last month and is only available in the Online Store. New kits are added each month in a variety of styles to meet different crafting tastes and needs. Be sure to check them out.

Happy Valentine’s Day! The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is from the new Scrapbooking Brochure and it coordinates with the fun Bee My Valentine stamp set and punch from last year. I used both of them for today’s card along with the new Cute As Can Be designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a strip of Cute As Can Be DSP to another panel of the DSP and then adhered the layered panel to the front of a Petunia Pop card base. I used the small octagon die from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle to cut a Petunia Pop panel and a plaid DSP panel and adhered them to the card with liquid glue – the DSP in the middle with the card stock around it.
I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black inks and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the bee from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in the same colors and punched it out with the coordinating punch. Between the two stamp sets, you can create three different sized bees!
I stamped the bee faces and antenna for both bees using the stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink. I stamped the wings (I used the small wings) using Pool Party. I cut the antenna and wings out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the back of the bees with liquid glue. I adhered the bees to the front of the card with dimensionals and finished it with Petunia Pop dots.
For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set using Old Olive ink and the little hearts in Bubble Bath. I trimmed the side with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle has a great set of nested octagon dies and sentiments that are wonderful for memory keeping and scrapbooking. Everything can be used for card making too and I love how it coordinates with last year’s Bee My Valentine bundle. The Cute As Can Bee DSP designs are the same as last years with the fresh new colors. And I love how it all coordinates for Valentines Day and Spring!

Good Morning! I just received the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms bundle and I just had to use it. I combined the bundle with the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper from the current Annual Catalog to kind of combine the old with the new and I hope you like the results. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I embossed panel of Peach Pie Unbounded Beauty designer series paper with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Peach Pie card base with liquid glue. I cut Peach Pie card stock with the nested floral frames dies from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms dies. This is a very detailed die, so I had to use a card stock shim and run it through my cut & emboss machine several times to get a good cut (this die cutting machine has lighter pressure than my other one). I adhered the die cut frame to my card with liquid glue applied to the frame and larger sections of the die cut flowers.
I cut the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms dies from Shy Shamrock Unbounded Beauty DSP. I trimmed the bottom to make it shorter and trimmed it again to look like the top of another sprig. I adhered the die cuts to the card with glue dots. I stamped the small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored it with light Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends. I used the dark Peach Pie Stampin’ Blend to highlight the center dots.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic white and cut it out with the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and popped the flowers on top with dimensionals. I finished with Shy Shamrock shimmer gems and ribbon.
For the inside panel, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using stamped off Peach Pie ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with embossed DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Isn’t the frame from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms bundle just gorgeous!! There are two dies that make up the frame and the outer die cuts a pattern along the outside so you can make a fancy octagonal opening for a peek-a-boo effect. The flowers are pretty and the sentiments are pretty great too!

Good Morning and Happy Tax Day! We filed ours just in time this weekend – need to do better next year. Anyway, here’s another sneak peek of the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I paired it with the pretty retiring Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to show that it’s pretty in many different color palettes. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat with liquid glue. I adhered another strip of the DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat before adhering it to the panel. I popped the layered DSP panel onto the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the new Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on the side of a Lost Lagoon panel and cut it out with one of the dies from the Unbounded Love dies. These new products will be available when the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog launches on May 1, 2024. I cut a sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies from Pool Party card stock and adhered it to the card with Lost Lagoon ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label over the ribbon and part of the die cut sprig.
I stamped two of the large flowers from the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Petal Pink inks on Basic White. I stamped the outlines full strength and the filler in stamped off ink. I stamped the flower centers using Pecan Pie ink and cut them out with the coordinating die. I used the same technique to stamp two leaf clusters using Lost Lagoon ink. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the label and adhered the flowers with glue dots and dimensionals. I wish I had my iridescent pastel gems to add some bling – they would have been perfect!
For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle will be available on May 1, 2024. The two step stamp set has really pretty flower and leaf stamps that are really easy to line up and work so well by using a full strength ink on the detailed outline stamp and stamped off ink on the filler. And I love that the filler stamps have highlights that easily give you nice texture and dimension! And while they go beautifully with the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper like my card the other day, they also work beautifully with other designer series papers that you may already have. Here’s a picture of the bundle:
And here’s a picture of the pretty Unbounded Love bundle that will also be available on May 1, 2024:

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a colorful For You card that can be used to send good wishes for many happy occasions. I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set and dies from the current Annual catalog with the pretty Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a sketch challenge this week and I managed to use 5 of the 6 colors:
And I was inspired by the sketch in Sunday Stamps Challenges SSC324 Be Bold.
I adhered a panel of Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I cut Basic White and Blueberry Bushel panels with the Countryside Corners dies and embossed the Basic White panel with the cross hatch design from the Basics Embossing Folders before adhering them together.
I cut the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You dies from Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green card stocks and adhered the detailed words on the backgrounds. I adhered the words to the embossed die cut with liquid glue. The flowers and leaves in the stamp set are two-step stamping designs, so I stamped them in Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce. I stamped the background stamps first in stamped-off colors and then the detailed stamps full strength. I stamped the flower centers in Crushed Curry. Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the embossed panel with glue dots.
I adhered the decorated panel to the card front with dimensionals on a diagonal – so fun! I finished with Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set in Poppy Parade ink using the same methods as the flowers on the card front. I covered the flower with a mask and stamped the leaves in Shaded Spruce. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp and dies are a fun set. I love the word dies and there are so many different ways you can combine them. I look forward to using this set for a Valentine’s card soon!

Good Morning! I finally pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Desert Details bundle for today’s card and I am in love! This beautiful cling stamp set with dies has wonderful Native American art and desert theme images that are so unique and beautiful! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I cut a panel of Soft Succulent Dry Brushed Metallic specialty designer series paper with both of the fancy rectangle dies in the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details dies to make a frame. I adhered the frame to a panel of Delicate Desert designer series paper with liquid glue and adhered them both to a Pale Papaya mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Gray Granite card base with dimensionals.
I cut two Soft Succulent agave plants from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details dies and used small pieces of scotch tape to keep the centers secure. I cut one in the middle (to keep the long frond on the card) and adhered all three to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the large desert flower with Pale Papaya ink and two of the small flowers in So Saffron ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered the flowers together with glue dots and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I used the small flower stamp to apply Soft Succulent ink to a length of white crinkle ribbon, made a bow and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot.
I stamped the sentiment in Soft Succulent ink on a strip of Pale Papaya. I cut a panel of Delicate Desert DSP with the fancy diamond die from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details dies and adhered it to the back of the label with liquid glue. I adhered the layered label to the card front with dimensionals. I added more bling with the Gold Faceted sequins on the label, frame and around the flowers.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details stamp set in Pale Papaya ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Delicate Desert DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The shine from the dry brush metallic paper and the fun sequins is a beautiful contrast to the rustic desert designs. I love the natural feel of the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details bundle designs and I also love the fun sentiments.

Good Morning! I just love the hearts in the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle and the beautiful Country Floral Lane designer series paper. These are my favorite Valentine’s day items in a long time. And I had to pull them out for another Valentine’s day card, this time for a fun fold! 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 Country Floral Lane designer series paper to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base. The card base is 1″ shorter in the front than the back, so I adhered another strip to the inside of the back panel. I adhered another large floral pattern panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and adhered it to the front panel with dimensionals and let it extend a little below the card front.
I punched a Sweet Sorbet Heart and a pair of Mossy Meadow leaves from another sheet of Country Floral Lane DSP. I punched three additional large hearts from Basic White card stock and adhered them together with liquid glue and topped them with the DSP heart. This gave me a nice thick heart for the card front! I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a small strip of Basic White. I trimmed the end to make a flag and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.
I adhered the punched DSP leaves to the card front with liquid and then adhered the layered heart over the leaves and label. I wrapped the card with Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine and made a bow and finished with three gold adhesive sequins.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and stamped the solid tiny hearts in Petal Pink ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card above the Country Floral Lane DSP.
A really simple card made with the pretty papers from the Country Floral Lane designer series paper with a little help from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set. It really makes it easy to get ready for Valentine’s day!

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The upcoming January-April Mini Catalog has so many pretty new bundles and one of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle. It is part of the Fancy Flora Suite that is pictured on the front of the catalog. I used many products in this suite for today’s card and they will all be available on January 5, 2023 when the catalog goes live. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a sketch challenge this week and here is the pretty card sketch we are using this week:
I cut a panel of ombre Orchid Oasis Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the large background die from the Stampin’ Up Two-Tone Flora dies and adhered it to another panel of Fancy Flora DSP with dots of liquid glue. A few pieces are separated from the main panel and need to be adhered individually. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base.
I stamped the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots and made a loopy bow with Starry Sky metallic ribbon and adhered it on the leaf spray.
I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy cling stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink on Petal Pink card stock. I cut it out with the pretty label die from the Something Fancy dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Calypso Coral iridescent jewels.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen in the corners of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I stamped the medium flower detail stamp in Orchid Oasis and stamped the solid flower over it in stamped off Orchid Oasis. I stamped the details of the small flower in Calypso Coral and the background in Petal Pink. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the corners of the panel. I trimmed the flowers and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Fancy Flora Suite is beautiful and I really love the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle! The two-step stamping flowers are fun to make and easy to do and they come out beautiful! I love that they all have coordinating dies and the beautiful floral background die is really gorgeus!

Good Morning! Have you seen the Perfect Partners promotion? Well I picked up the cute Playful Piggies dies to go with the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy cling stamp set 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 Awash in Beauty designer series paper to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then popped it on a Calypso Coral card base with Dimensionals. I cut a Pear Pizzazz panel with the new grass die from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy bundle (YES! you can get the new dies with the stamp set in a bundle for a 10% discount this month!) and adhered it to a Balmy Blue panel. I cut the cute frame from the Fabulous Frames dies from Old Olive and cut up some dimensionals to adhere the background to the frame to make the picture. Then I added some glue dots to the background and adhered the picture to the card front.
I stamped the sweet piggy from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the picture with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Basic White and cut it out with the cute label die. I adhered it to the card with bits of dimensionals and glue dots.
I cut the flowers and leaves from Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green card stock using the Playful Piggy dies and the little bird from So Saffron. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered some iridescent gemstones to the flower centers and tucked an Old Olive bow under the frame to finish the card.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Awash in Beauty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
I love this little piggy wallowing in the mud! This scene from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set just reminded me of a wonderful lazy day with no responsibilities except having fun doing what you want. I hope your day is like that!

Good Morning! The Rings Of Love designer series paper is a pretty pack of patterned paper that you can get for FREE with an order of $50 (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration! It goes well with the awesome new Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature bundle from the new Mini Catalog and I used them both 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 panel of Crumb Cake with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue.
I cut a panel of Rings of Love designer series paper with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangles die and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ringed with Nature stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I punched it out with the Double Oval punch and punched a Night of Navy Scalloped oval. I adhered the two punched pieces together and popped them on the card with dimensionals. I made a quad loop bow from linen thread and adhered it under the label with a glue dot. I finished the label with Starry Sky matte dots.
For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of the Rings of Love DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature stamp set has so many pretty images that go great with the beautiful Rings of Love Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. And it has lots of nice sentiments, so you will have a lot of creative fun with both of these products!
