Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set is one of the pretty cling stamp sets that is not retiring – Yay! It is not in the new catalog, but it will still be available in the Online Store, and I think it will coordinate great with some of the new designer series papers. Today’s card is CASE’d from a sample in the retiring January-April Mini Catalog and is watercolored with ink! It also uses the pretty Meandering Meadows 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 panel of Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of retiring Tahitian Tide card stock with the Cross Hatch embossing folder and adhered it to the card front. I made a big loopy bow with retiring Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot. I cut a Basic White panel with the pretty Everyday Details circle die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped both of the blueberry stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set in black Stazon Ink on a panel of watercolor paper. I used my water painters to color the images with ink. I used Blueberry Bushel for the berries and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. After they dried, I fussy cut the images with my paper snips and adhered the smaller one to the back of the one with the stem with glue dots. I popped the berries onto the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Blueberry Bushel card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I trimmed the ends at an angle with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with iridescent foil gems.

For the inside of the card I inked up the large blueberry stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped it off twice. Then I stamped it on the middle of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Watercoloring with ink is fun and it’s really easy when you have stamped line images like the ones in the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set. Go ahead and give it a try.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Hello Card

Good Morning! The pretty woodland and wildflower images in the Meandering Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is so inspirational with Spring popping up everywhere. I used a panel with the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set to make a simple hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set at the bottom of a Bubble Bath card base using Blueberry Bushel ink.

I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow designer series paper to a Blueberry Bushel mat. I wrapped it with a length of Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and tied a bow.

I adhered the layered DSP panel to the card with dimensionals and added a Sweet Sorbet pearl to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel. I added color with the Bubble Bath and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

With the pretty Meandering Meadow designer series paper, card making is quick and easy. And the images and sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set are the perfect compliment for lots of occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Friendship Card

Good Morning! Have you had your coffee yet? I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Latte Love bundle to make a fun coffee card today! I paired it with the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to change things up and I think it works well! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the coffee rings and drips from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink all over a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and adhered it to another panel of the DSP. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Calypso Coral card base. I adhered a plaid panel of the DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love dies to make the cute French Press carafe. I used Rose Gold for the frame and cut a Window Sheet panel for the glass carafe – it’s hard to see but it looks so cool in person. I applied adhesive sheets to the back of the Rose Gold foil so it would stick to the Window Sheet. I cut an Early Espresso panel and adhered it with glue dots, hidden by the frame. I stamped the coffee cup using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the oval coffee disk in stamped off Crumb Cake (I need creamer in my coffee) and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the top of the coffee cup. I popped the French press and coffee cup on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the spoon from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on Smoky Slate card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die using the two step method . I adhered the spoon and label to the card with glue dots and finished with coffee swirl dots.

For the inside of the card, I cut four panels of the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ DSP using the small cup die in the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love dies. I cut four Pecan Pie small coffee ovals and adhered them to the cups with liquid glue. I adhered the cups to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the Inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This was such a fun card to make – I love the carafes! And with the spatter and coffee ring stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set, you can give a coffee theme to lots of different DSPs. And I love the cute little die cut cups in different patterns. So, what color is your coffee – Early Espresso, Pecan Pie or Crumb Cake?

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the March Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate Spring” and I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along bundle with the Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to celebrate celebrate spring with a drive in the countryside to pick up garden flowers. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I embossed a panel of Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Painted Textures 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Starry Sky mat.

I cut another panel of the DSP with the largest Stylish Shapes circle die. I used an old school technique to make the mat – I flipped the die over on Starry Sky card stock and traced a circle. I used my paper snips to fussy cut the circle and adhered the DSP to the back. I would have preferred a die cut or punched circle, but I didn’t have one and this technique worked out well. I adhered the layered circle to my embossed panel with liquid glue.

I wrapped the panel with a length of Pecan Pie ribbon and secured it in the back with Stampin’ Seal to make a “road” and adhered the panel to a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals. I stamped the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends.

I stamped the outline of the truck using the stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Around stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the filler in Balmy Blue and colored the windows with the light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. I used the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends to color the wheels and fenders. I punched the truck out with the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along builder punch and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I fussy cut the stamped flowers with my paper snips and tucked it into the back of the truck, adhering it with a glue dot. I finished the card with brass swallows.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along stamp set in Starry Sky ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower stamp several times along the bottom in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along bundle is so cute and has so many cute stamps that you can use to full the truck bed for all different seasons. Hopefully I’ll be heading out soon to find flowers for my garden too!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions bundle pretty floral images and sentiments with wonderful dies. I used it with the Poetic Expressions designer series paper for a friendship card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel of the DSP to a Boho Blue mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with a rectangular die from the Everyday Details dies. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored the leaves with light light Old Olive and light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I colored the flower centers with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend and the petals with the light Calypso Coral Blend. I colored the base of the petals with the dark Calypso Coral Blend and the used the light pen to blend the shades. I cut the bouquet out with the coordinating die. I also used the dies to cut two flowers from Petal Pink and two long leaf clusters and one short one from Old Olive.

I adhered the leaf clusters and flowers to the card with glue dots and made a bow from Petal Pink ribbon. I adhered the bow with a glue dot and popped the floral cluster on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with Petal Pink glitter dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I colored the flower the same as the flowers on the card front and trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP. I adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I used the die from the Everyday Details dies to keep the angular look to the card. But I think afterwards, it would have been fine with the graceful curves of the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions dies. I love both of those die sets!! Do you have a favorite?

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details bundle is full of simple, sweet images and wonderful dies. I used the pretty teacup image and circle die with the pretty Poetic Expressions designer series paper to make a sweet friendship or encouragement blank note card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered a floral panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the teacup from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and colored it with light Balmy Blue, light Bubble Bath, dark Lemon Lolly and light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with a pretty circle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White strip. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to make fishtails on both ends. I punched the ends of a Wild Wheat strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and adhered the stamped label to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and popped the teacup on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Pecan Pie ribbon tied in a knot and pink sequins.

I left the inside of the card blank, simply trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering it with Stampin’ Seal.

The teacup is one of three pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set. The stamp set also has wonderful sentiments in a pretty mixed font and the die set is wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Card

Good Morning! I’ve been busy with cleaning out my craft room and organizing my supplies. This seems to be never ending, but I did manage to make a quick card with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle. I am CASE’ing a card from the Mini Catalog, but with so much of a mess, I was inspired to combine the old with the new and pair the new bundle with the Countryside Inn designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

The Countryside Inn Suite in the Annual Catalog is such a pretty set of products, and there are so many different floral and graphic patterns in the DSP, so I thought it would be great with a layered postage stamp card. I started by embossing a Boho Blue panel with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to a Boho Blue mat. I popped it on a Boho Blue card base with dimensionals.

I cut several different squares and rectangles of the Countryside Inn designer series paper using the large square and a couple of the rectangle dies from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies. I tried to replicate the pattern in the catalog, but I had to change it up, so that it looked right to me. And then I wanted to make sure I got the bunny in there above where I wanted to put the label. I laid them all out and then took a picture and adhered them with liquid glue. And then I changed the arrangement from my picture, but the bunny is in the right place.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight. 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 cut it out with one of the rectangle postage stamp dies. I used the two step method, so it’s just a little longer, but it’s so easy to do with these dies. I adhered some Boho Blue ribbon with some Stampin’ Seal and popped the label on top with dimensionals. I finished with three Misty Moonlight tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and stems from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Night of Navy and Boho Blue on a Basic White panel. They go so nicely with the Countryside Inn designer series paper. I cut the edge of a strip of DSP with the second largest postage square rectangle from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies and adhered it to the the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how easy it is to combine two pretty Stampin’ Up! suites and make a card. The Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies are so versatile!

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of the new items from the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite in the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. The Suite has two bundles, the Painted Lavender Bundle and the Perennial Postage bundle and it’s perfect for purple lovers! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink on the bottom front of a Kraft note card. I cut two panels of Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender designer series paper with a rectangular die from the Perennial Postage dies and adhered them to the front of the card with liquid glue.

I cut a sprig from Lost Lagoon card stock using a die from the Painted Lavender dies and adhered it to the card front with dots of liquid glue.

I adhered a butterfly cut out with glue dots and adhered some Purple Fine Shimmer gems around the sprig.

For the inside of the card, I stamped a sprig from the Painted Lavender stamp set on the side of a Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card.

One of the colors in the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender DSP is Crumb Cake and the papers go so well with the cute Kraft Note cards. The note cards should be restocked next week and they are so cute. They come with Kraft envelopes and a cute (and sturdy) box for storage.

Here are the items in the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite. These will be available when the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog opens for ordering on Jan 4, 2024.

Item 162611 – Purple Fine Shimmer Gems & Item 162612 – Paper Butterfly Accents

Item 162593 – Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ designer series paper

A great new suite of products – be sure to check them out for next month!

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Friendship Note Card

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! Today’s card uses the pretty Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made bundle with the colorful Masterfully Made designer series paper for a Friendship Note card. You can also find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Masterfully Made designer series paper to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel of the DSP with the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made border dies, the notebook die at the top and the crooked border at the bottom. I stamped the bold leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made cling stamp set on the panel in Daffodil Delight ink and adhered the panel to the card front.

I cut a panel of Pretty Peacock shimmer paper with the leafy sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made dies and adhered it to the card front. I cut a Melon Mambo panel with the open leaf spig die and adhered the die cut to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made stamp set in Versamark ink on Pretty Peacock and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool. I cut the sentiment out with the label die. I adhered folded Bubble Bath ribbon to the card front and adhered the label over it with dimensionals. I finished the card with Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the bold leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made stamp set in stamped-off Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the script stamp in Bubble Bath ink in the corners and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Masterfully Made designer series paper is full of beautiful, colorful flowers and is a wonderful compliment to the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made bundle. I love the dies in the bundle, they give a nice casual look to the layers on the card front and go well with the torn edge designs in the beautiful designer series paper.

Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix Hello Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix photopolymer stamp set in the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog? This is one of those easy to overlook stamp sets and it coordinates with the Inked and Tiled Punch Pack! I used it with the Merry Bold & Bright designer series paper to make a colorful Hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Merry Bold and Bright designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of Basic White with the small rectangle from the Radiating Stitches dies and stamped it with the stitch stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix stamp set in Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party inks. I adhered the die cut to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the fabric stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix stamp set in Blueberry Bushel on Basic White and punched it out with the star punch from the Inked and Tiled punch pack. I stamped the starry grid stamp in Granny Apple Green on Basic White and punched it out with the star punch. I punched a Crushed Curry star panel of the DSP with the same punch and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the floral stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and cut it out with a circle from the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered the circle to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green on Pool Party and trimmed the ends. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with a Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine bow and tinsel gems.

I left the inside of the card blank and simply trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love all the colorful geometric elements in this card and the Stampin’ Up! Medley Mix stamp set with the Inked and Tiled Punches is perfect for this style!
