Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty Suite is has pretty florals and wonderful sentiments. I used the two bundles in the suite along with the designer series paper for today’s friendship card. 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:

Adhere a strip of Petal Pink Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty designer series paper to a floral panel with liquid glue and adhere the layered panel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. Cut another panel of the DSP with the large rectangle Nested Essentials die and adhere it to the card.

Use the large Petals Of Beauty leaf die to cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the triple leaf on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp two of the medium flowers using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling on Very Vanilla. Use full strength Petal Pink for the detailed stamp, stamped off petal pink for the background stamp and Darling Duckling for the center. Cut out the flowers with the coordinating die. Adhere the leaf cluster to the card with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals.

Use the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color a length of Irregular Weave ribbon and tie a knot. Adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flowers. Stamp the Sentiment from the Words of beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Lost Lagoon ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere it to the card with glue dots and finish with Darling Duckling dots.

For the inside, stamp the flower from the Petals of Beauty stamp set using Petal Pink and Darling Duckling inks in the corner of a Very Vanilla panel. Trim the side with Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brushed with Beauty suite has lots of pretty flowers and leaves – I love the two step stamped flowers! And the word dies in the Words of Beauty bundle are great with three layers! I love that there are so many other sentiments and label dies that fit them perfectly. And the colors in the DSP are so soft and pretty.

Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty You Are Amazing Card

Good Morning! Here’s a card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty bundle from today’s new Online Exclusives release. This bundle is part of the new Brushed with Beauty suite collection which also includes the Petals of Beauty bundle and Brushed with Beauty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post. (I will update the Supply List later today with links to the new products.)

Yay! Vellum is back! Emboss a vellum panel with the new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder and adhere it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with Stampin’ Seal. Use the second and third largest Textured Notes rectangle dies to cut panels of the Brushed With Beauty designer series paper and adhere them to the card.

Cut a Mossy Meadow panel of Brushed With Beauty DSP with the large leaf sprig from the Petals of Beauty dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the ‘because‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty stamp set on Very Vanilla using Mossy Meadow ink. Cut it out with the wide label die and adhere it to the card using glue dots.

Stamp the large flower from the Petals of beauty using Calypso Coral ink. Use full strength ink for the detailed stamp and stamped off ink for the background stamp. Cut it out with the coordinating die. Stamp the center using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the coordinating die and adhere it to the large flower. Adhere the flower to the card using dimensionals. Apply Adhesive sheets to the back of a Mossy Meadow panel and cut it out with the small ‘just‘ word die from the Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty dies. Cut the middle size die from Very Vanilla and peel off the backing and adhere the Mossy Meadow word to the Very Vanilla word – Don’t forget the dot for the ‘j‘! Adhere the word to the card using bits of dimensional and glue dots and finish with a loopy Early Espresso bow and Calypso Coral dots.

For the inside panel, stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Early Espresso inks on Very Vanilla. trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty bundle and the rest of the items in the Brushed With Beauty Suite Collection are a nice change from Holiday cards and them more I play with these products, the more I’m in love with them. The two step stamping florals are great and the sentiments are too – and so versatile. I wonder if I can incorporate the images into Christmas cards?

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments with You Are Remarkable

Good Morning! I used the pretty leaf sprig stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set along with one of the pretty sentiments from the You Are Remarkable stamp set to make a simple Fall friendship card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

I did practice stamping my leaves on printer paper to determine the relative placement and colors of the different leaves and I recommend that you do so first so that you have a layout you are happy with. I started with the Old Olive large leaf in the lower left corner and built out towards the right and upper corners. I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso inks for the different leaves and Cajun Craze ink for the berries. And I stamped on Very Vanilla card stock.

After stamping the leaves using full strength ink, stamp along the edges using stamped off ink to fill in empty spots using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. I used the same ink for each leaf in the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set. After I was happy with the leaves, I stamped the sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set using Cajun Craze ink in the empty space.

I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Gathering Together specialty DSP to a Crump Cake mat and adhered the stamped panel on top using liquid glue. I wrapped it with Old Olive Linen Thread and tied a bow before popping it on the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I finished with retired Crushed Curry dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaves and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set in the top corner of a Very Vanilla panel using the same colors as as the card front. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I really love stamping leaf sprays for Fall cards and the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set is great for this with the distinktive (different shades in one stamp) stamps and the variety of shapes. You get a chance to really get creative with your stamps and inks without relying on die cutting. A nice way to show off a great sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Thanks For Being You Card

Good Morning! The Floral Charm designer series paper is so pretty with florals in lush Fall colors and complimenting designs. I picked a couple of patterns to use with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle to make a simple card to express gratitude and friendship. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Pretty Peacock leafy panel of Floral Charm designer series paper to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue. Cut a floral panel of the DSP into three strips and adhere them to a Fresh Freesia mat. Adhere the mat to the card front with dimensionals.

Cut the top part of the leafy sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day dies from Pretty Peacock and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of ribbon and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Seal. I used a retired Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon for a touch of glamour, but you could also use the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends to color a white ribbon and use that instead.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set on a Fresh Freesia panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Cut it out using the small oval label die from the pretty Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside panel, stamp the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set in the corner of a Basic White panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink towards the bottom, leaving room for a DSP trim. Adhere it to the inside of the card.

I can’t decide which of the florals in the Floral Charm designer series paper pack are my favorite, but a simple card design like this is a good way to show off pretty papers. Cutting the floral pattern in thirds adds a little extra interest to the card design without too much complication.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Peace On Earth Hugs Card

Good Morning! I just received my Stampin’ Up! Peace On Earth bundle yesterday and I was really pleased and surprised with how versatile it is. The Peaceful Garden designer series paper is really beautiful and the bundle’s sentiments are perfect for Christmas, but also great for other occasions, including sympathy cards. I decided to pair the pretty floral DSP with the hugs sentiment to make a simple friendship card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a floral panel of the Peaceful Garden designer series paper to a Secret Sea mat with liquid glue. Wrap two bands of Misty Moonlight ribbon around the left side, securing in the back with Stampin’ Seal. Double check the alignment and secure the ribbon ends with scotch tape. Adhere the panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight with dimensionals.

Cut a Secret Sea panel with the third largest Spotlight on Nature die. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peace On Earth stamp set on Basic White using Misty Moonlight ink. Punch the sentiment out using the 2-3/8″ circle punch and adhere it to the Secret Sea die cut circle.

Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals. Finish with a silver druzy dot. I wanted to use the pretty new Hues of Blues flowers, but I felt the druzy would pick up on the silver edging in the ribbon.

I left the inside plain, trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card. This leaves plenty of room for a personal message.

This was so quick and easy! But I love this sentiment and I love this paper and the blues are a nice break from the Fall colors.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Fall Card

Good Morning! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Here is a gate fold card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle that came out earlier this year. The thing is, my hydrangeas are Lil’ Limelight, which means that they have greenish white flowers that turn a beautiful bronze in the fall (the ones the deer don’t eat, that is). And they’re at the peak of their color right now, so I wanted to make a card using this pretty bundle to capture these Fall hydrangeas. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

After scoring and burnishing the card base for the center gate fold card, adhere panels of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front flaps. Use the third largest die from the Everyday Arches dies to cut Old Olive and the next smallest to cut Basic Beige. Emboss the Basic Beige arch with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and adhere it to the Old Olive arch. Adhere the layered arches to the left side of the card base.

Stamp the large hydrangea flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Gray Granite ink and color it using the masks and blending brushes (masks are included in the bundle or can be purchased separately). Color the hydrangea first using Soft Sea Foam for mask #1 and #2 (the color will be darker with the second mask). For mask #3, start with Calypso Coral and add a little Cajun Craze at the end. Use Old Olive to color the leaves with masks #4 and #5. Cut the hydrangea out with the large coordinating die.

Cut two large leaf clusters using the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden dies from Old Olive card stock and adhere them to the card with glue dots. Pop the flower on top with dimensionals and decorate the centers with antique pearls. Finish with a Basic Beige bow.

For the inside panel, trim the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. Find the section of the hydrangea from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set that goes with the small flower die and stamp it using Gray Granite ink on Basic White. Color with blending brushes like the large flower on the front and cut it out with the small hydrangea die. Adhere it to the panel and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

I was happy with how the hydrangea came out using the masks for coloring. My first attempt using Stampin’ Blends didn’t work out nearly as well 😞. I didn’t put any sentiments on the front or inside of this card, but you can use it for a Fall birthday or for any other occasion. I love plaids in the Fall and so many of the Timeless Plaid designs would be great for a Fall card, so don’t forget those items hiding in your stash! Enjoy!

And don’t forget that tomorrow is the Big Day for the new Stampin’ Up! 2025 September-December Mini Catalog to open and a new release of Online Exclusive products!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

I’m easing back into things, starting out with a simple quick fun fold using the pretty Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable stamp set with the pretty new Floral Charm designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts for this card along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Score and burnish the Crumb Cake card base with the short end on the front. Adhere a panel of Floral Charm DSP to the front flap.

Stamp the floral outline image from the Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla and color it with Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Adhere it to the top of a Fresh Freesia mat and tear the bottom to give it a distressed look. Tie a length of Crumb Cake baker’s twine around the bottom making a bow and adhere it to the card front with dimensionals. Finish with Purple Shimmer gems.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable stamp set using Blackberry Bliss ink on Very Vanilla. Stamp the little bee using Pecan Pie ink and trim the side with Floral Charm DSP. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Good Morning! Sorry it’s been a while since I posted, I’ve been busy playing with Grandkids, traveling and cleaning. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and put together some quick and fun note cards to slowly get back into the swing. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

The first card is a homage to Tucson, AZ, where we just spent the last few weeks. I embossed a pool Party panel with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White Note Card. I layered it with pieces from the Something For Everything and Labels & Layers ephemera packs – they capture the beauty of the mountains and of course I had to use the saguaro cactus!! And the sentiment is perfect – every day is a good day in the Southwest! I finished with a Copper Clay baker’s twine bow and Faux Glass dots.

My second card is simpler, using the pretty flower and leaves from the Fully Flowering ephemera pack and a simple hello from the Saying Something ephemera pack. I just adhered a panel of Pool Party vellum gingham to a Basic White Note card and adhered everything on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished with a loopy linen thread bow and clear Opal Gems.

For my last card, I used a Basic Beige card base and piled on some things on from the Labels & Layers and Something For Everything ephemera packs. Kind of making it look like a messy desk with a throwback typewriter instead of computer. But I don’t really have a bird on my desk, I just thought it was cute. But I love that sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack. I finished with a Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine bow and dots.

All the cards are different and yet since they use Stampin’ Up! Colors, you can easily find ribbons, paper and embellishments to coordinate. There is so much variety in themes and occasions so you can really express your creativity!

The Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match Ephemera Packs first came out in the current Annual Catalog and I’m so happy that they will continue in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog in May. The Fully Flowering and Saying Something ephemera packs will be carried over in the new Annual Catalog and there will be additional new packs, too!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is part of the new Online Exclusives release and has these wonderful bordered rectangle dies. I used the bundle with the pretty Country Woods designer series paper and the leaf sprig dies from the Textured Floral dies for today’s card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the large rectangle die from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes dies to cut a Pool Party panel of Country Woods designer series paper and adhered it to the front of a basic Beige card base with liquid glue.

I lightly applied Basic Beige ink to a Basic White panel with a blending brush to give it a little color and stamped the large leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped the round basket using Crumb Cake and I used Lost Lagoon to stamp the small leaf sprig twice. I cut the stamped image out with the third largest rectangle die and applied more Basic Beige ink to the edges. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I cut the large leaf sprig die from the Textured Florals dies from Mossy Meadow and the small sprig from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the leaf sprigs to the card with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink on Basic Beige. I cut it out with the long skinny die and adhered a Linen Thread bow to the back before popping it on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with textured metallic dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf sprigs and round basket from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using the same colors as the card front on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is wonderful for stamping textured collages and can be combined with images from other stamp sets, such as letters, graphic designs and naturals such as flowers and butterflies. I also think the leaves from the Textured Floral dies nicely coordinate with the stamped images in the stamp set. And I just love these new bordered rectangle dies!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee Celebrate Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is part of the January Scrapbooking Brochure release and has cute bees, flowers and octagon dies. I used the large bee with the Cute As Can Bee designer series paper and Perennial Postage dies for an any occasion Celebrate card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card was inspired by the cute sketch in the current Sunday Stamps Challenge – SSC 355 Layered Up:

I adhered a panel of Cute As Can Bee designer series paper to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I cut three floral panels of the DSP with a rectangular Perennial Postage die and adhered them to Petunia Pop mats before adhering them to the card front.

I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black inks on Basic White. I stamped the Wings using Pool Party ink and cut them all out (including the antenna) with the coordinating dies. I ahdered the wings and antenna to the back of the bee and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Petunia Pop ink on Bubble Bath card stock and cut it out with the small Perennial Postage die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished the card with yellow gems.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Petunia Pop ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Petunia Pop ink and leaves using Old Olive. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is a wonderful and happy set and goes well with the Cute As Can Bee DSP. With it’s bright, cheerful colors, these are perfect for Spring cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
