Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle with the Artfully Composed designer series paper for a colorful, tropical Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a Color Challenge this week and here is the pretty color palette we are using:

I adhered a panel of Layering Designs vellum on the front of a Just Jade card base with strips of Stampin’ Seal in the middle of the card front (it will be covered by the DSP layer. I adhered a panel of Pale Papaya Artfully Composed DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat and adhered a strip of colorful, leafy DSP on the side. I used the pinked edge die from the Tropical Leaves dies in the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered bundle to cut a strip of Evening Evergreen and adhered it across the bottom.

I cut the detailed long leaf die from the Tropical Layers dies from Calypso coral and adhered it to the panel with glue dots. I cut a leaf from the Artfully Composed DSP with the Tropical Layer die and cut a panel of Evening Evergreen with the detailed die. I adhered the detailed die cut to the DSP die cut with dots of liquid glue and adhered the layered leaf to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Calypso Coral Basic White and cut it out with the plain oval part of the Double Oval Punch. I folded a short length of Just Jade ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Gilded Gems.

For the inside, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered stamp set in Just Jade in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Artfully Composed DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artfully Layered cling stamp set has pretty tropical leaf stamps and great sentiments, and the coordinating dies are just wonderful! The Artfully Composed designer series paper goes perfectly with these items and they are so much fun to use in making fun cards.

Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice Hello Card

Good Morning! Today I made a little hello card with the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice cling stamp set. This is a Host set from the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog that you purchase with Host Dollars that you earn when you host a workshop with more than $150 in sales or make a purchase of that amount, and it is so cute! I used a couple of the images and a sentiment from the set for my card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a strip of Real Red with the new Gingham embossing folder and adhered it to a panel of striped Pattern Party designer series paper. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base.

I stamped the large mouse from the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the second largest Layering Circle die. I colored it with Gray Granite, So Saffron, Light Petal Pink and Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and adhered it to the white side of a Heart & Home doily with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut it out with the little banner label die from the Give It A Whirl dies and adhered it to the layered circles with glue dots. I adhered the circles and label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with three adhesive sequins.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of Paper Party DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the little mouse (without the balloon) from the Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on another Basic White panel. I colored it with Gray Granite and Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut it with paper snips. I adhered it just above the DSP strip and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Mischievous Mice stamp set is real cute and great for coloring. It has a variety of sentiments and can be used for many occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! April Showers Bring May Flowers! I have been saying this every year since I was a child. We had some rain last weekend and it’s still cool here in Pennsylvania, so I’m grateful it wasn’t snow. But daffodils are blooming and soon the tulips will be as well, so it’s time for tulip cards. I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle for a thinking of you card in my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon to make this card. You can find the supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the link to the Facebook Live video from yesterday. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer. I’ve included it in this post:

I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Scalloped Contours dies and adhered a panel of the beautiful Flowering Fields designer series paper to the front. I cut a Poppy Parade panel with the three tulip dies – the wide triple panel petals, the medium double petal panel and the small single petal pane. I adhered the small single petal panel to the inside of the triple panel with liquid glue. I put bits of dimensionals on the top of the medium panel and liquid glue on the bottom and adhered it to the middle and folded over the side panels of the large panel, securing the bottom with liquid glue.

I cut the skinny stem and adhered it to the DSP with the fine tip glue pen. I adhered the tulip flower on top of the stem with glue dots and cut one of each of the leaf dies from the Tulips dies in the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle and adhered them on either side of the stem with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I punched the ends of the Petal Pink panel with the curly side of the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips stamp set in Poppy Parade on top. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with dimensionals and made a bow with sheer Pool Party ribbon. I adhered the bow to the stem with a glue dot and finished the card with Pool Party Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped two tulips from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips stamp set in Flirty Flamingo on the sides of a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed stamp over the stamped tulips in stamped off Flirty Flamingo and added Memento Tuxedo Black flower centers and Pear Pizzazz stems and leaves. I trimmed the bottom with Flowering Fields DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Both the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle and Flowering Fields DSP are beautiful items that are perfect for spring cards. And they’re so versatile, and result in beautiful hand crafted items.

For my Facebook live, I had a sample card with a Basic White flower that was sponged with Petal Pink for a very light pink card. Here it is with the card I made in the video. I think I like them both.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach Card

Hello! One of the prettiest suites in the current Annual Catalog is the You’re A Peach suite with the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach bundle and You’re A Peach designer series papers. And for the next couple of days, this bundle is on sale with the Savings Are In Bloom promotion, so I had to make a card with the pretty peach blossoms before the end of the month. 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 with the retiring Macrame 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pale Papaya card base. I adhered panels of the pretty floral and striped You’re A Peach DSP to Pear Pizzazz mats and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach photopolymer stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the second largest Layering Circle die. I cut a Pear Pizzazz panel with the second largest scalloped circle and adhered them together. I inked up the flower stamp with Pale Papaya ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Calypso Coral to the edges of the flowers. I stamped the flowers on a basic white panel and stamped the flower centers in Soft Suede. I repeated this process so that I had flowers for the inside of the card and I cut them all out with the coordinating die. I popped three die cut flowers on the stamped circle with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Pale Papaya and cut it out with the little label die. I adhered the label to the stamped circle with glue dots and popped the circle on the card front with dimensionals. I finished with three blue Waves Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pear Pizzazz in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiments in Soft Suede and stamped the small flowers in stamped off Balmy Blue. I adhered the die cut flowers with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I’m not sure what color peach blossoms are, but these Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral flowers are pretty! Later in the Summer, it will be nice to make gorgeous peach cards with the Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach bundle, but for now I’ll stick with flowers. So be sure to check it out before it’s gone!!

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration bundle to make a friendship card for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. This bundle is an early release from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog and is currently part of the Waves of the Ocean Collection going on now. I also used the beautiful Blue Foils and Waves of the Ocean for my card. You can find the supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the link to the Facebook Live video from yesterday. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer. Here it is:

I adhered a Calypso Coral panel of the beautiful Waves of the Ocean designer series paper to the front of a Pacific Point card base. I stamped the wave from the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration cling stamp set in Night of Navy on another panel of the DSP. I adhered adhesive sheets to the back of two foil panels and cut out the two waves dies, the two point wave from Night of Navy foil and the three point wave from Coastal Cabana foil.

I peeled off the adhesive backing and adhered the Night of Navy foil die cut wave over the stamped wave. Then I did the same with the Coastal Cabana die cut wave. I fussy cut the wave around the stamping and die cuts and adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

The clouds from the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration bundle are wonderful pillowy two piece die cuts. I cut the background and detailed dies from Basic White – a set for the large cloud and two sets of small clouds. I adhered the detailed dies to the background clouds with liquid glue and adhered them to the card front using glue dots for the small clouds and dimensionals for the large one. I die cut three birds from the Night of Navy foil and adhered them to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration stamp set in Night of Navy on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the pretty pelican in Memento Tuxedo Black on the side and colored it with So Saffron, Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the seagull above the pelican and trimmed the bottom in Calypso Coral Waves of the Ocean DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.

The Blue Foils make the wave stunning and dramatic, and it’s so easy to do with the dies in the Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration bundle. And the sentiments in the bundle are wonderful and inspiring too, so I highly recommend taking a close look at these products.

Stampin’ Up! Seascape Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! I used the pretty seahorse from the Sea Life Dies in the Stampin’ Up! Seascape bundle with the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer series paper for an encouragement and friendship card for my Facetime Live yesterday afternoon and the results were amazing! You can find the supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

My design was inspired by the sketch challenge in Freshly Made Sketches #525. Here’s the pretty card sketch:

I adhered a panel of Waves of the Ocean designer series paper to a panel of Coastal Cabana Foil with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pool Party card base. I cut a Granny Apple Green Waves of the Ocean paper with the Seaweed die from the Smooth Sailing dies and adhered it to the bottom of the DSP panel.

I cut a Calypso Coral Waves of the Ocean DSP panel with the coral die from the Stampin’ Up! Seascape bundle and curved some of the cuts up before adhering it to the card. I cut a panel of Pool Party Shimmer paper with the Seahorse die from the Stampin’ Up! Seascape bundle and adhered it to the card front with cut up pieces of dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled in Friendship cling stamp set in Pacific Point ink on a Pool Party panel and cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die. I frayed some White ribbon and adhered it to the back with a length of Pool Party ribbon. I adhered the label and ribbons to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Night of Navy and Coastal Cabana rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the seaweed from the Stampin’ Up! Seascape cling stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I stamped the coral in Calypso coral and the sentiment in Pacific Point. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Waves of the Ocean DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Waves of the Ocean designer series paper is beautiful and versatile enough to be used for different ocean themed dies like I did for this card. The swirls of color add depth and texture to the die cuts, like they do for any underwater or ocean background. The Stampin’ Up! Seascape bundle is just one of the many beautiful stamp sets and bundles that go well with this DSP. And it’s wonderful that it’s on sale this month with the Savings are in Bloom promotion!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Smile Card

Happy Friday! Last weekend I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug bundle to make a fun fold card for my Facebook Live and I’m using it again for a friendship and encouragement card for today. The ladybug is so cute and the other stamps in the photopolymer stamp set give you lots of options for your card designs. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I started cutting out a panel of Basic White with the second largest Scalloped Contours die and adhering a panel of the pretty Sale-A-Bration Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper to it with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base. I stamped the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel and fussy cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered it to the card front.

I stamped 3 large flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set in Daffodil Delight on Basic White and punched them out with the Medium Daisy Punch. I adhered them together with liquid glue and added an iridescent gemstone to the center before adhering them to the card front with a dimensional. I punched the ladybug body from Pattern Party DSP and Basic Black card stock and adhered them together. I stamped the wings in Real Red, punched them out with the Butterfly Builder punch and adhered them to the butterfly body. I added black matte dots to the wings and adhered the ladybug to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Real Red on Basic White and cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die. I adhered the label to the card front with liquid glue, tucking it under the leaf. I finished the card with a black and white twine bow.

I stamped the small bunch of flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and the sweet sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Real Red. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Sunshine and Rainbows DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug bundle is so cute and versatile. It’s perfect for many occasions, so be sure to check it out! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug bundle is so adorable. With the bold, graphic ladybug stamps and coordinating Ladybug Builder Punch, it is so easy to make a bunch of cute little bugs to decorate cards and tags. I made this cute little fun fold card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I a panel of pretty multicolor Flowering Fields designer series paper to a So Saffron panel. I adhered another Mango Melody Flowering Fields Panel to the front of my mini card. I adhered my mini card to the DSP panel with Tear & Tape adhesive. I stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug photopolymer stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White and fussy cut it with a small white border. I adhered the leaf to the mini card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set three times in Highland Heather ink and cut them out with the Medium Daisy Punch. I curved the petals and adhered the clusters together with liquid glue and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals, finishing the center with an iridescent rhinestone. I stamped two ladybug wings with Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and punched them out with the Ladybug Builder Punch. I punched out two ladybug bodies from Pattern Party DSP and Basic Black card stock. I inked the edges of the Pattern Party bodies with my black Stamp & Write marker and adhered them to the Basic Black cardstock bodies. I adhered the wings with liquid glue and adhered Black Matte Dots to the wing spots.

I adhered the ladybugs to the card front with dimensionals, letting them hang over the sides of the mini card. I stamped the hello sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set in Poppy Parade on Basic White and trimmed it with my paper snips. I adhered the label to the card front on top of the leaf.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set in Poppy Parade on a basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Flowering Fields DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug bundle is the cutest! You can punch out the ladybug from colored card stock, stamped card stock and designer series paper for a wide range of styles. The bold stamps compliment the punched bugs and the sentiments are perfect for expressions of friendship, support and good wishes.

Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello bundle is a Sale-A-Bration item that you can choose for FREE with a $100 order (before shipping and taxes) during the upcoming Jan-Feb 2022 Sale-A-Bration that begins on January 4, 2022. It consists of a pretty photopolymer stamp set along with a set of coordinating designer series paper! I used it to make today’s pretty Hello Friend card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a panel of Friendly Hello designer series paper in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered it to the front of a Pool Party card base. I cut a panel of Friendly Hello DSP with the bird and flowers centered on the panel. I cut two Shaded Spruce strips with the Ornate Layers die and adhered them to the top and bottom back of the bird panel and adhered the bird panel to the stamped DSP panel. I adhered the layered DSP panel to the front of a Pool Party card base.

I stamped the bird and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the bird in Pool Party and the flowers in Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut the bird and flowers with my Paper Snips and adhered them over the bird and flowers in the DSP.

I adhered faux pearls around the bird and made a bow with Pool Party ribbon and adhered it to the front with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green on the top corner of the panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of the Friendly Hello DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The coordinating images in the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello Sale-A-Bration bundle are sweet and the stamp set has some pretty sentiments. Here’s a picture of the stamp set with some of the pretty papers:

The colors in the pretty Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello designer series paper are Basic Black, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, Pool Party and Shaded Spruce. These colors are so soft and fresh and perfect for spring.
