Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Just For You Card

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:

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

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!

Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Card

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.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Valentine Card

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!

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

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!

Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy Happy Place Card

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!

Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature Thinking of You Card

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!

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of a new bundle from the upcoming January – June 2022 Mini Catalog that will be available on Jan 4, 2022 – the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home bundle! I’m also using the new Hive 3D embossing folder and the pretty new Heart & Home designer series paper that will also be available. 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 Pale Papaya designer series paper with the new Hive 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pale Papaya card base. I wrapped a length of white crinkle ribbon around the card front, tying a bow on the side. I cut a panel of Heart & Home designer series paper with a Layering Circle die and adhered it to a Cinnamon Cider die cut scalloped circle and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a Fresh Freesia panel with two floral sprigs from the Honeybee Blooms dies and a Soft Succulent panel with two grass clumps. I adhered the floral sprig and grass clump die cuts to the DSP panel with liquid glue. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home cling stamp set in Basic Gray ink twice on Basic Gray and colored it with Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and popped them on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a Soft Succulent panel and cut it out with the Messages die. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished off the card front with Basic Gray Matte Dots (available Jan 4, 2022).

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set in Basic Gray on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bee in the top corner and the flowers in the lower corner, also in Basic Gray. I colored the flowers like the front and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home bundle is such a pretty set with soft images and beautiful sentiments that is part of the Heart & Home Suite in the new January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. These products will be available on January 4, 2022 when the catalog goes live and they’re sure to become favorites!

Here’s a picture of my card with the stamp set, embossing folder and DSP I used.

Stampin’ Up! In The Moment Sneak Peek

Good Morning! This weekend is the Stampin’ Up! Annual Convention – On Stage! This year’s convention is being held virtually but it’s still been lots of fun. One of our convention goodies is a pretty stamp set – Stampin’ Up! In The Moment, and I used it to make today’s simple card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Kraft panel with the Macrame 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base.

I cut a Basic White panel with the Scalloped Contours die and stamped the pretty scene from the new Stampin’ Up! In The Moment cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the left side. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends, Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia, Smoky Slate, Pale Papaya, Pool Party, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake next to the scene and wrapped the panel with Crumb Cake baker’s twine and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front with Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of embossed Kraft paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This card really speaks to me in these hectic days and I love all the images in the Stampin’ Up! In The Moment stamp set. This pretty set will be available with the new January – June 2022 Mini Catalog when it goes live on January 4, 2022.

Here’s a picture of the pretty stamp set! Remember – it will be available January 4, 2022.

Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Cards

Good Morning! Today I want to share a couple of Christmas Cards made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance bundle. These cards made by the Stampin’ Up! Design Team are quick and easy and use different card making techniques and show how you can use both the cling stamp set and the pretty Evergreen Border punch.

Aren’t they pretty!! Both cards use the same festive color palette of Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green. The Stampin’ Up! design team put together a quick video showing how to make these cards. They also created a PDF with step by step instructions, card stock cuts and a list of supplies – Click Here to download the PDF.


Here is a close up of the first card – I love layered punched trees! They contrast so nicely with the realistic stamped trees on the Poppy Parade card base.

And here’s the second card. The Poppy Parade label is so striking with the white embossed letters and I love the casual wonkiness of the layers.

These cards are great for the casual crafter – you have two very different designs that are both quick and easy that can be with the same bundle. These designs are easily stepped up with additional ribbons, jewels, embossing folders or other embellishments to make a fancier card if you have time and creative juices.

Here are close ups of the stamps and dies. Click on the pictures to get the full descriptions and to shop in my Online Store.

Thanks for stopping by! With the beautiful and versatile Christmas trees and wonderful sentiments, the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance is a must have for this Holiday season.

Join me for a Facebook Live this afternoon!

I’m planning to go live on my Facebook Page at 1:00 ET today. I will be using the Pretty Pumpkin bundle to make a fall card! Look forward to seeing you then!
