Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies CAS Card

Good Morning! The pretty Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle is a versatile bundle that is so fun to play with and I was inspired by the colorful Gerbera Daisies in the stores to make a card full of colorful flowers. I stamped the petals in each flower in two different colors to create this CAS (clean and simple) 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 Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ to compensate for the embossing shrinkage. I adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the large daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies photopolymer stamp set three times on Basic White. One daisy uses Real Red for the detail stamp and Sweet Sorbet for the filler. Another uses Daffodil Delight for the detail stamp and Lemon Lolly for the filler. The last uses Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath. I stamped the centers all in stamped off Pecan Pie and cut them out with the large outline die. I adhered the pink and yellow flowers with glue dots and popped the red one on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and trimmed the ends with my paper snip. I tied a bow with white baker’s twine and adhered it to the card and adhered the label on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with rhinestone jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large daisy from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Real Red and Sweet Sorbet in the bottom corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the center in stamped off Pecan Pie and I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set makes beautiful flowers, even without the fancy die cuts. The two step stamping is pretty easy to do and it’s a lot of fun to play with different color combinations. I think this would have been pretty with all red daisies too – maybe next time.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. I used the wonderful new Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle with the beautiful Earthen Elegance designer series paper for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. These are new products with the rustic feel of handmade pottery. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I stamped the thin branch stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures cling stamp set using Wild Wheat ink several times across the top and bottom of the front of a Wild Wheat card base. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance designer series paper to a Pebbled Path mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a Pretty Peacock panel of Earthen Elegance DSP with the tall vase die from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I cut the palm branch from Old Olive card stock and the sticks from Cajun Craze and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the medium pot from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Gray Granite card stock. I cut it out with the coordinating die and wrapped three short lengths of Natural wavy trim around it, securing it in the back with Stampin’ Seal. I covered it with scotch tape to keep it in place and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I cut the short pot from distressed gold paper and backed it with a white die cut and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card front with three Wild Wheat dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the thin branch from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in stamped off Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White. I stamped the wheat in stamped off Wild Wheat ink over it and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the natural textures and handmade feel of the stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle and the Earthen Elegance DSP. The pots or vases are wonderful stamped or just cut from pretty designer series paper, and the sentiments are sweet and done in a wonderful font.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle is such a special set, with both beautiful stamped and die cut flowers that are so artistic! Today’s card is inspired by a package that is in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but I made it into a card using the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper. 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 striped Vellum Basics to a panel of Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper with Stampin’ Seal, and adhered it to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I cut the large triple flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies dies from a Copper Clay panel and cut each of the background flower dies from Boho Blue. I adhered the Boho Blue die cuts to the back of the large Copper Clay die cut with liquid glue. I cut each of the small detailed flower dies from Basic White and used a Blending Brush to apply Copper Clay ink to the centers – be careful as a little ink goes a long way with this intense color.

I adhered the colored detailed flower dies to the top of the Copper Clay die cut with liquid glue. I cut three of the branch sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies dies from Crushed Curry card stock and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the layered die cut flower on top with dimensionals. I stamped six leaves in Crushed Curry ink on Basic White and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Boho Blue ink on Basic White and cut it out with the label die. I cut a length of Boho Blue ribbon in half and made a loopy bow. I adhered the bow to the card with a glue dot and adhered the label on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with Boho Blue In Color dots – love the shine they have!!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little flower cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in stamped off Boho Blue ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I used a light Copper Clay Stampin’ Blend to color the flower centers and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love these daisy flower die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle!! But the stamped flowers are pretty too, so I think I need to focus on stamping some daisies for my next daisy card. Earlier today, I drove past a house that had a huge bed of daisies blooming! It was such a welcome sight after a dreary winter. I didn’t realize that they bloomed this early, but the good news is that we’ll be able to enjoy them all Summer!

Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Hugs Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You bundle is such a fun set for all kinds of crafters! With stamps and dies for all kinds of crafting, you can make so many different cards with crafting themes! I chose the papercrafting theme for my first card using this fun bundle with a paper trimmer, cut and emboss machine and even a finished 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 Lemon Lolly card stock with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders. I adhered it to the bottom of a Bright and Beautiful designer series paper panel and adhered it to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. I used the paper trimmer die from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You dies to cut a Gray Granite panel for the main trimmer and a small Basic Black panel for the trimmer blade. I slipped a panel of Bright and Beautiful DSP into the trimmer and adhered it with some liquid glue. I adhered the die cut trimmer blade with a glue dot. I cut a panel of Azure Afternoon with the ruler die and adhered the ruler and paper trimmer to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the cut & emboss machine from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I colored the gray sections with the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped it on the card with dimensionals. I cut three 1″ x 1″ panels of Bright and Beautiful DSP and adhered them to the card with liquid glue. For the last panel, I colored the small flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set with the Lost Lagoon and Berry Burst Stampin’ Write markers and stamped multiple times, re-inking each time, on a small Basic White panel. I cut out a 1″ x 1″ square and adhered it to the card and cut another one out with the coordinating die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Lost Lagoon panel and trimmed the corners with the Very Best Trio punch. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the heart on the inside of the scored Bright and Beautiful DSP mini card and adhered the die cut flower to the front with a glue dot. I adhered the card next to the label with a glue dots and wrapped the card front with linen thread twice and made a bow. I finished by scattering some Lemon Lolly faceted dots around the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped the heart three times in stamped off Berry Burst ink and trimmed the bottom with the Bright and Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You bundle since I’ve been crafting since I was a little girl and this bundle captures so many different crafts – sewing, knitting, embroidery, painting and cardmaking. It brings back so many memories of good times!

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo with Happy Hedgehogs Friendship Card

Good Morning! See you later alligator! I used the cute alligator from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle and I wanted to make a little park scene for him to ride his bike. The Happy Hedgehogs stamp set was perfect! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the trees from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White, along with some tufts of grass. I colored the scene with Stampin’ Blends – light Flirty Flamingo for the flowers, light Pecan Pie for the tree trunks and light Granny Apple Green for the leaves and grass. I used blending brushes to apply Granny Apple Green ink to the ground and Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon inks to the sky. I adhered a strip of Smoky Slate card stock to the bottom and cut it out with the third largest Deckled Rectangle die.

I adhered a strip of Zoo Crew designer series paper to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base. I wrapped it with Lemon Lime Twist ribbon and tied a loopy bow on the side. I adhered the scene to a Basic Black mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo dies to cut the alligator from the Zoo Crew DSP. I cut another one from Basic White card stock and adhered them together with liquid glue – it makes the die cut thicker. i colored the die cut with Stampin’ Blends – light Azure Afternoon for the bike, dark Smoky Slate for the seat and tires, both Crumb Cakes for the basket and light Lost Lagoon for the leaves. I popped the alligator on the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the butterfly from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I cut the panel out with the third largest Deckled Rectangles die. I adhered a panel of Zoo Crew DSP to the inside of the card with liquid glue and adhered the die cut panel on top with liquid glue.

The Happy Hedgehogs tree is perfect for Spring. Isn’t riding a bike in the park the perfect Spring afternoon activity? Especially if you are a Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo alligator!

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship Card

Good Morning! I CASE’d today’s card from one of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies cards on the cover of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I changed the size, stepped it up with additional embellishments and used the largest daisy in the pack instead of the smaller one. 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 panel of Bright and Beautiful designer series paper with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base. I stamped the outline of the large daisy from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies photopolymer stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a Basic White panel. I inked up the filler stamp with Berry Burst ink and stamped off twice before stamping over the petals. I stamped the large flower center in Lemon Lolly ink and cut out the flower with the coordinating die.

I cut a Berry Burst panel with the large detailed petals die from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies dies and adhered it to the flower with dots of liquid glue. I stamped the stem and leaves using Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered the stem and leaves to the card front with liquid glue and popped the flower on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White and punched the end with the Banners Pick A Punch. I made a bow with silver metallic ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label before adhering the label to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with silver metallic pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the detailed side view flower from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Berry Burst ink and stamped the filler stamp in twice stamped off Berry Burst ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower center in Lemon Lolly ink and covered the flower with a mask before stamping the leaves and stem in Pretty Peacock ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle are different, beautiful and so versatile. They can be used in so many ways, and they’re available today! So head over to my Online
Store to check it out with all the other new goodies right away!

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes Spring Card

Good Morning! Whimsical garden gnomes have decorated our flower beds for the past couple of years and with the weather warming up, I knew I had to make a card with the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set before they retired. I paired this cute stamp set with the Happy Forest Friends designer series paper for a faux side step fun fold card to share today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used panels of Calypso Coral Happy Forest Friends designer series paper as mats and I adhered one to each panel of Happy Forest Friends DSP for my card. I used a strip of greenery for the first step and adhered it to the Pear Pizzazz card base. I used a forest scenery panel for the middle step and adhered it to the card. I used a tall forest scenery panel to adhere to the pear Pizzazz faux side step. I adhered the faux side step to the first step with Tear N Tape adhesive, burnished the score line and used Tear N Tape to adhere the back to the back of the card. It’s so easy to make, compared to the careful scoring and cutting for a regular side step card.

I stamped the two gnomes from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Pecan Pie (a new color available on May 2, 2023), Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Bubble Bath (another new color available on May 2, 2023) and Old Olive. I cut the gnomes out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the cad with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and adhered it to a mat and Pear Pizzazz panel. I adhered it to the front of the card with glue dots and finished the card front with Calypso Coral resin glowers and a Linen Thread bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral sprig and grass and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to a DSP mat and then to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I even decorated the back of the card with another forest scene panel! And I layered another panel of Happy Forest Friends to the top of the faux side step. This area could also be covered with another decorated Basic White panel and used to write a personal message.

Both the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Gnomes stamp set and the Happy Forest Friends designer series paper are retiring (and so is Pear Pizzazz!) so now is a good time to pick up these products for your Springtime gnomes card!

Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride Card and Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride bundle and the coordinating Ready to Ride specialty designer series paper are the best motorcycle themed stamping products ever! The bundle has cool stamped motorcycles and sentiments and the dies make a cool dimensional motorcycle. The DSP has wonderful backgrounds that are perfect for travel or masculine cards (and designs for the ladies that ride). I made this card during my Facebook Live yesterday and you can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of tire track Ready To Ride designer series paper to a panel of diners DSP and adhered them to the front of a Basic Black card base with liquid glue. I cut the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride motorcycle dies from brushed silver foil, Basic Gray and Basic Black, making sure to apply adhesive sheets to the thin top layer die cuts before cutting. I also rolled it back and forth a couple of times to make sure the die cut through the adhesive sheet.

Here are the motorcycle die cuts showing the cardstock colors and dies:

I assembled the motorcycle by adhering the die cuts to the Basic Gray motorcycle base. I adhered the Basic Black engine first, and then the silver wheel spokes. I adhered a Basic Black tire to each wheel. I adhered the large intricate silver die cut, lining up the handle and wheel axels. I finished by adhering the seat and adding a silver dot to each wheel and a diamond to the tank. I adhered the motorcycle to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Very Vanilla. I cut it out with the small label die from the Painted Labels dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I finished with adhesive backed studs.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small motorcycle from the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the bottom of a Very Vanilla Panel. I stamped the sentiment and the landscaping and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Ready to Ride specialty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. As a bonus, I adhered a diner DSP panel to the opposite side to carry through theme from the card front!

I’m so glad that the Stampin’ Up! Legendary Ride stamp set and dies are carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! Unfortunately, it will no longer be available as a bundle with the 10% discount and the Ready to Ride specialty designer series paper is retiring. So now is a great time to pick up these items and save too!

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle is one of the prettiest line art floral stamp sets and dies ever. And the dies cut out several of the images in the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer series paper, so I cut some out 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 Hues of Happiness designer series paper with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Melon Mambo mat. I adhered the panel to the front of a Blushing Bride card base with dimensionals. I cut a Basic White panel with the notebook and lacy diamonds dies and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I cut several flowers and leaves from the Hues of Happiness DSP and adhered them to the card front with glue dots and dimensionals. I cut a couple of strips of the DSP with the long banner dies from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered them to the front of the card with glue dots. I tied a loopy bow with Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and tucked it under the large flower, adhering it with a glue dot.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die. I adhered it to the front of the card with dimensionals and finished the card front with glossy dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White panel and adhered it to a Melon Mambo mat. I adhered another Die cut DSP flower to the bottom corner and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Hues of Happiness DSP is one of the prettiest designer series paper packs in the retiring Annual Catalog. I love that you can use the Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds bundle dies to cut out the flowers for a quick card. And the sentiments in this retiring bundle are some of the prettiest around!

Stampin’ Up! Desert Details for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Desert Details bundle is a pretty South West themed stamp set with pretty Photopolymer stamps and dies and wonderful sentiments. II used it to make a friendship/encouragement Z-Fold card for today’s hop. 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:

I adhered panels of Delicate Desert designer series paper to the left side of the Calypso Coral card base and the front and back sides of the middle section. I used the the long embossed Stampin’ Up! Desert Details die to cut two strips of Calypso Coral and adhered the pretty die cuts to each side of the left section with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Soft Succulent with the large Stampin’ Up! Desert Details large rectangle die and cut a panel of Delicate Desert DSP with the small one. I adhered the DSP rectangle to the card stock rectangle with liquid glue. I used the diamond die to cut four diamonds and adhered three to the large rectangle and one to the inside of the center section of the card base. I used the Agave die to cut another panel of Soft Succulent Delicate Desert DSP, keeping the centers of the leaves. I adhered the leaves to the rectangle with glue dots.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details cling stamp set inPale Papaya ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I used the light Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blend to accent the shadows of the petals and adhered the flower to the large rectangle die cut with dimensionals. I tied a linen thread Bow and tucked it under the flower with a glue dot. I adhered the large die cut rectangle to the left panel of the card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite ink on Basic White. I trimmed the sentiment with my trimmer, close to the sentiment and sniped diagonal ends. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the front with Pastel Iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the bottom and top of a Basic White panel with the long diamond stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details stamp set in Gray Granite ink. I adhered the last panel of Delicate Desert DSP to the right side and adhered the panel to the right section of the card base with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Desert Details bundle is retiring at beginning of next month along with the Delicate Desert DSP. The pretty designs on the DSP I used remind me of beautiful South West sunsets. the embossed designs on the die cuts have a unique Native American feel that is beautiful and magic!
