Good Morning! Here’s a Mother’s Day card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners bundle and pretty Countryside Inn designer series paper. It’s a book fold card and I used the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set to spell out ‘mom’. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I made a video tutorial for this card and posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can see the video here:
I applied liquid glue to the end of my Boho Blue card base to seal it and create a book fold card base. I adhered panels of Countryside Inn designer series paper to Night of Navy mats and adhered them to the card front. I cut a Boho Blue panel with the 4th largest hexagon die from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners bundle and embossed it with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder before adhering it to the card front.
I stamped the frame from the Alphabest stamp set in Night of Navy ink three times on a strip of Basic White. I stamped the letters inside the frames in Night of Navy and then used the Best Labels punch to punch them out. I adhered them to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the large hexagons from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners stamp set in Versamark ink on Night of Navy and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the floral frame out with the 4th and 5th largest hexagon dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I saved the rest of the hexagon for another project.
I used the Timeless Arrangements dies to cut a leaf sprig from Boho Blue card stock and the small triple flower die from the Sentimental Park dies to cut flowers from Night of Navy. I adhered these with glue dots and finished the flower centers with iridescent pearls. I wrapped a length of Night of Navy bordered ribbon around the end of the card and made a knot, securing it with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the corners with the small flower from the Petal Park stamp set in Night of navy and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
Isn’t this a pretty frame from the Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners bundle? And the gorgeous flowers from the Countryside Inn designer series paper are the perfect background for a pretty Mother’s Day card.

Good Morning! Mother’s Day is a couple of weeks away so I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart cling stamp set to make a Mother’s day card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. I used it with the new Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and you can find the currently available 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 striped Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the side of a lighter patterned panel of the DSP and adhered them both to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. Azure Afternoon is one of the new core colors that is coming with the color refresh tomorrow!
I stamped the scene from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink (one of the new 20223-2025 In Colors) and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Bubble Bath, light Petal Pink, light Pecan Pie, light Wild Wheat on the Mom and light Lemon Lime Twist, light Pecan Pie, light Smoky Slate and light Petal Pink on the child. I used a blending brush and mask to apply Azure Afternoon ink to the sky and used light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend on the ground. I cut it out with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangle die.
I stamped the sentiment from the Welcoming Windows photopolymer stamp set in the sky and adhered it to an Azure Afternoon mat. I adhered a Lemon Lime Twist bow to the back with a glue dot and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with pink Loose Frosted Gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel and trimmed the side with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
So many of the inks, blends and card stocks I used are new colors that will be available on Tuesday when the new catalog launches. The new colors are also used in the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP, and along with the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places In The Heart stamp set they make for a colorful, bright and beautiful Mother’s day card.

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is a wonderful photopolymer stamp set with gorgeous floral dies for making fancy labels. It’s full of sentiments for all occasions and some pretty florals that coordinate with the beautiful Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I used the bundle to make a simple gate fold thank you 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 plain panels of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the back of floral panels to use as contrasting mats and adhered the panels to each side of the front of a gate fold card base.
I cut the layered label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on the smaller one and slipped it into the larger floral label die cut. I love how the layered panels give the look of a double stitched edge!
I cut the small solid and outline flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Night of Navy card stock and Mango Melody Regency Park DSP and adhered them to the label. For the outline flowers, I applied adhesive sheets to the back of the DSP before die cutting and removed the backing from the die cut flowers before adhering them. I decorated the flower centers with rhinestones and adhered the label to the left side of the gate fold card front, being careful to apply adhesive to only one side of the card.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the centers and adhered the panel to a Regency Park mat before adhering the panel to the inside of the card. Here’s the finished card with the samples I made for my video.
The layered label from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is gorgeous and pretty much all you need to make a beautiful card. Luckily the stamp set and dies are returning in the upcoming 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog, but the bundle discount will no longer be offered. And sadly, the Regency Park DSP will be retiring soon, so now is the time to pick it up before it’s gone for good.

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!

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!

Good morning! Welcome to the April Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “For the Ladies/Girls” and I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship stamp set to make a simple Z-Fold Mother’s Day card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I adhered a panels of Lovely in Linen designer series paper to each section of a Misty Moonlight card base. Stampin’ Up! is bringing Misty Moonlight out of retirement and it will join the Neutrals color family in the new catalog next month! I cut two panels of Basic White with the third largest scalloped rectangle in the Scalloped Contours dies – one for the inside panel and one for the front. For the front rectangle, I stamped the spatter stamp from the Color and Contour photopolymer stamp set using Pale Papaya ink in two corners.
I cut a panel of Soft Succulent Brushstroke specialty paper with the fern from the Meadows Dies and adhered it to the panel with liquid glue. I stamped two sets of the flower bouquet from the retiring Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on Basic White. I colored them with Stampin’ Blends – the leaves in light Soft Succulent and the flowers in Sweet Sorbet. Then I fussy cut them with my paper snips and this was the most challenging fussy cutting task that I have performed – it was good practice in patience. Then I adhered the flowers on the scalloped rectangle with dimensionals under the flowers and glue dots under the leaves. I did trim some of the bottoms so that they wouldn’t extend too far below the scalloped rectangle.
I folded a short length of Night of Navy Bordered ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the bouquet with a dimensional. I stamped the sentiment from the retiring Celebrating You cling stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Pale Papaya. I cut it out with the label die from the retiring Geraniums dies and adhered it to the bottom of the scalloped rectangle with dimensionals.
I adhered the decorated scalloped rectangle to the card front with liquid glue, being careful to apply the glue to only half of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink in the lower corner of the second scalloped rectangle. Note that I only inked up half the sentiment.
I covered the scallops on the other lower corner with post-it notes and inked up the lone flower from the bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink. I stamped it and removed the post-it notes and only the area inside the stitching is stamped! I colored the flower and leaf with Sweet Sorbet and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue, being careful to line it up behind the top scalloped rectangle.
I finished the card with red rhinestones and adhered a Starry Sky adhesive flower to the label.
I used a mix of so many different stamps and dies on this project – I love how the items work so well together. Some of these are retiring and some are new – I also love how you can mix retired products from your stash with new items to make beautiful cards – especially for Mother’s Day!

Good Morning and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I wanted to make a St Patrick’s Day Gnome card to celebrate the day, so I combined the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Clover stamp set with the Gnomes dies and the Friendly Gnomes 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 made a book fold Sahara Sand card base, adhering the end with liquid glue. I stamped a panel of Pear Pizzazz with the small clover stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Clover stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink. I applied some Mossy Meadow ink to the ends with a sponge dauber and adhered it to a Mossy Meadow mat before adhering it to the left end.
I adhered a panel of Happy Forest Friends designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow mat and adhered it to the main front panel. I stamped the little clovers from the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Clover stamp set all over another Pear Pizzazz panel and cut it out with the Gnomes at die. I applied Mossy Meadow ink around the ends with a sponge dauber. Using the Gnome dies, I cut the beard from Cajun Craze, the nose from Petal Pink and the pants from Soft Suede. I adhered the pants to the card with liquid glue and the nose and hat to the beard with liquid glue. I adhered the rest of the gnome to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the little squirrel from the Friendly Gnomes photopolymer stamp set in Early Espresso ink and colored it with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut the squirrel and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I wrapped a length of Sahara Sand ribbon around the book end and tied a knot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and clover from the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Clover stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower and leaves from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in Early Espresso and colored them with Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stamping’ Seal.
I don’t think gnomes are leprechauns, but I see them all over the place this St. Patrick’s Day. The Gnome dies will be back in stock soon, so there’s plenty of time to make Spring garden gnome cards. But today is St. Patrick’s Day, so I need to put the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Clover stamp set away until next year – but it’s a great stamp set, so I had to pull it out one last time to spread a little more luck! Have a great weekend!

Good morning! Welcome to the February Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate Spring” and I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Best Butterflies bundle to make a simple fun fold Birthday 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 Starry Sky Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a panel of Crushed Curry card stock with liquid glue. I adhered a panels of floral butterfly Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front and inside panels of the Crushed Curry mini card and adhered the mini card to the front of the main card base with liquid glue.
I cut two Basic White circles with the second largest Stylish Shapes circle die. On the first one, I stamped the dots from the Stampin’ Up! Best Butterflies photopolymer stamp set in Crushed Curry ink several times. I cut a Fresh Freesia scalloped circle using the second largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles die and adhered it to the back of the stamped Basic White circle with liquid glue. I adhered it to the mini card front flap, being careful to apply the adhesive to only one side of the circle.
I cut two sets of wings using the Butterfly Builder dies in the Stampin’ Up! Best Butterflies bundle from different patterns of the Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ DSP. I cut a large butterfly body from Starry Sky and adhered the wings to the body with glue dots to make the large butterfly on the front. I adhered the butterfly to the circle with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set in Versamark ink on Starry Sky. 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 and cut it out with the skinny long banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the mini card, being careful to apply the adhesive to the left side of the label.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Butterflies stamp set in Starry Sky ink on the second die cut circle. I adhered the circle to the inside of the mini card under the front flap circle. I cut the large butterfly from Starry Sky and the smaller butterfly from Calypso Coral and adhered them to the inside with liquid glue.
I finished the card with gold adhesive sequins around the mini card. I like how I can extend the mini card front design into the inside with the die cuts, DSP and sequins!
A happy, colorful butterfly birthday card to Celebrate Spring! This was a fun card to make and the Stampin’ Up Best Butterflies bundle is fun to play with – you can make all sorts of butterflies!

Good morning! Welcome to the February Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Birthday” and I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Petal Park bundle to make a simple fun fold Birthday 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 Balmy Blue Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a panel of Balmy Blue card stock with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a 3″ mini card and adhered the mini card to the DSP panel with liquid glue.
I stamped the large leaf spray line image from the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park photopolymer stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White and used stamped off Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the filler image. I cut it with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.
I stamped the three large outline flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park stamp set in Night of Navy ink on Basic White. I stamped the filler flower image in Balmy Blue and cut the flowers out with the coordinating punch. I adhered the flowers to the die cut circle with dimensionals and adhered Milky Dots to the centers. I adhered the decorated circle to the card with liquid glue.
I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Sentimental Park stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Night of Navy. 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 cut the sentiment out with the small label die from the Sending dies, using the two step die cutting method. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I made a bow with Starry Sky metallic ribbon and tucked it under one of the flowers, adhering it with a glue dot. I finished the card with a dragonfly trinket, adhered with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Petal Park stamp set in Night of Navy in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower filler image in Balmy Blue and the leaves in Shaded Spruce – full strength for the outline and stamped off for the filler. I stamped the sentiments from the Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.
A pretty floral birthday wish with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Petal Park bundle and Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP!

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain bundle is a sweet Spring weather themed cling stamp set with dies that have the cutest critters enjoying spring rain and flowers. The fabulous dies also cut out some of the images in the beautiful Rain or Shine specialty designer series paper. I used both the bundle and paper for the fun fold card I made in 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.
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 panels of Rain or Shine specialty DSP to each section of my scored and burnished Balmy Blue card base with liquid glue. See the scoring measurements below in the Card Stock Cuts. I cut a little DSP piggy with an umbrella with the 4th largest Layering Circles dies and adhered it to an Old Olive scalloped circle cut with the 4th largest scalloped circle die. I adhered him to the back panel in the field of flowers.
I cut the kite from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain dies from Basic White. I cut the kite sections from a Flirty Flamingo section of the Rain or Shine specialty DSP and adhered it to the kite. I cut the kite bow ties from Old Olive and adhered them to the kite string with liquid glue and adhered the kite to the back panel so that just a little bit is peeking out when the card is closed.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with the check pattern of Rain or Shine DSP and adhered the panel to the second section of the card base. Now that the main part of the card was done, I scored the belly band and wrapped it around the card to check it. It fit snug, so I applied Stampin’ Seal to the ends to secure it and wrapped it loosely around the card again before pressing the ends together. I adhered another strip of checked Rain or Shine DSP to the belly band to cover the seam.
For the belly band decoration, I cut the cute little turtle from the Rain or Shine specialty DSP with the turtle die from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain dies. I cut another turtle from Basic White and adhered them together with liquid glue. I cut a Crushed Curry circle using the 3rd largest Layering circle die and an Old Olive scalloped circle with the 3rd largest scalloped circle. I adhered the circles together and cut a puddle from Balmy blue. I adhered the puddle to the circles and adhered the turtle with dimensionals. I used rolled up glue dots to adhere three flower embellishments to the lie cut and adhered the layered circles to the belly band with liquid glue.
This was my first belly band card and they can be tricky because you want the band to be loose enough to slide on and off easily, but not too loose to fall off unintentionally. Also, you want to make sure it fits into your envelope. Mine just barely fits, so I think I need to fiddle a little with the measurements to get a little extra room, especially with a fancy belly band with lots of dimension. But it was a fun card to make, especially with the cute critters from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain bundle and Rain or Shine specialty papers!
I saw a video by my Inkin’ Krew teammate Tara Carpenter where she made cards with this Fun Fold and I fell in love with it, so I had to make one. You can see her pretty card here. And I wanted to use the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain bundle because it coordinates with the upcoming February Paper Pumpkin set. I can’t wait to get it!
