Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! One of the prettiest bundles from the last few years is the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies and they are currently on the Last Chance products list with wonderful discounts! I used it with the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to make a simple fun fold Thinking of You card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front panel of the Highland Heather card base. Cut a Gorgeous Grape panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and adhere another panel of the DSP to the die cut.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Versamark ink on Gorgeous Grape. Sprinkle the sentiment with white embossing powder and shake off the excess. Heat the powder with a heat tool until it’s bright and shiny and cut it out with the rectangle die from the Perennial Postage dies. Adhere it to the layered die cut with glue dots.

Cut two leaf sprigs using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and adhere them to the large die cut with glue dots. Cut two double floral sprigs from Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and adhere three of the sprigs to the die cut panel with bits of dimensionals at the top and glue dots at the bottom. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a white bow and purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, stamp the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set using Highland Heather ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the side and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal so that the DSP shows when the card is closed.

The pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and purple shimmer gems are carried over in the new Annual Catalog and are perfect for making cards for those special ladies who love purple. Definitely check out the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies on the Last Chance list for a great bargain while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Fun Fold Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is from the new Mini Catalog is a whimsical and fun mushroom themed stamp set that coordinates with the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens designer series paper. Sale-A-Bration is ending soon, so I decided to make this fun-fold hello card with these products. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered panels of Toadstool Gardens designer series paper to Pebbled Path mats before adhering them to the front and end sections of a Melon Mambo card base. I adhered striped patterns of the DSP to the middle sections (see picture below). I used the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Gray Granite panel of the DSP and adhered it to the center panel with liquid glue.

I used the leaf sprigs from the Delicate Forest dies to cut a granny Apple Green panel and adhered them to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the mushroom caps from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle using Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks on Basic White and punched them out with the Terrific Toadstools punch. I stamped the mushroom stems using Gray Granite ink on Basic White and fussy cut them with my paper snips. I adhered the stems to the caps with liquid glue and popped them on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Versamark ink on Pebbled Path card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool. I cut it out with the short label die from the Delicate Forest dies. I folded a length of Peach Pie ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots and popped the label on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Melon Mambo glossy dots.

The inside panel is on the back of the front center panel and I stamped the mushroom, stems and leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Melon Mambo, Gray Granite and Granny Apple Green inks on Basic White. I adhered the panel to the card and adhered panels of the striped Toadstool Gardens DSP to each of the back panels.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle has different style mushroom tops and stems for you to mix and match to create your own mushrooms. And there are cute little ladybugs that you can stamp too! The punch punches out the mushrooms without the white border, so it’s pretty easy to use. This is the last week to get the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration item. It is a bright and colorful set of papers that are perfect for Spring. This is part of the reason I like this fun fold card so much, it shows off the pretty DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle with the beautiful Floral Delight designer series paper for a fun fold card today. 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:

I adhered a panel of Floral Delight to a Lemon Lolly panel with liquid glue. I adhered Pool Party gingham vellum to a Basic White panel with Stampin’ Seal (be sure to get the corners) and was pleased that it didn’t show through the vellum. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the Lemon Lolly card base with liquid glue and adhered the card base to the layered DSP panel.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends – light Pecan Pie, light Daffodil Delight, light Peach Pie, light Old Olive and dark Pool Party. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating die. I cut the large leaf spray using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I popped the flower on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered Daffodil Delight ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label over the ribbon with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with glossy dots.

For the inside, I stamped the little floral sprig from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I colored it with dark Pool Party and light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the beautiful flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle and I’m so happy I finally got to use the daisy spray. And while my flowers look like Black Eyed Susans and the end of Summer, I think this is a pretty Spring card!

Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Book Fold thank you card using the fun Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set, a Sale-A-Bration item you can get for FREE with a $60 order. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week and I’ve used two Sale-A-Bration products for today’s card:

I scored & burnished my Granny Apple Green Card base and adhered the left book bind section closed with liquid glue. I adhered panels of the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front sections.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set on a Basic White panel using Granny Apple Green for the top, Pecan Pie for the trunk and Melon Mambo for the roses. I fussy cut the tree with my paper snips. On another panel, I stamped the grass in granny Apple Green, the fence in Crumb Cake and the clouds in Balmy Blue. I cut the background panel with the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I popped the fussy cut tree on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card stock and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the sentiment. I cut it out with the small Mixed Labels die and popped it on the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I decorated the card with three textured metallic dots and wrapped Crumb Cake baker’s twine around the binding and made a bow.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower and small leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green inks on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how you can use different images to fill the tree on the Stampin’ Up! Pick A-Season stamp set. And I love the small sentiment and die from the Mixed Labels bundle – they are the perfect size for this little scene! Both the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set and the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are FREE items that you can choose with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration, which runs through February 28.

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle along with the Floral Delight designer series paper to make a Z-Fold birthday 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 fun sketch challenge this week and it was fun to turn it into a Z-Fold card:

I started out by adhering all the panels of Floral Delight designer series paper to the sections of the card base and Z-Fold mechanism using liquid glue. Then I adhered the Z-Fold mechanism to the main card base using liquid glue. I started with the inside or back panel by centering and adhering the folded Z-fold mechanism to the panel and then opening it and adhering the front.

I used the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature die to cut a basic white panel and used a blending brush to apply pool party ink. I cut the branch from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes dies using Pecan Pie card stock. I cut two of the layered medium flowers from Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie and adhered them together. I stamped the sentiments using Old Olive ink on Basic White and Daffodil Delight and cut them out with the dies.

With the sentiments, stem and flowers, I was able to arrange things on the die cut circle and began adhering them. I adhered the stem with liquid glue and trimmed it at the circle edge. I adhered the ‘wishing’ sentiment with glue dots and the label sentiment under it with glue dots. Then I adhered the die cut circle to the card base with liquid glue, being careful to apply it to the left half of the circle and using a glue dot behind the ‘w’ in the sentiment.

I stamped four leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and finished with a Daffodil Delight bow and antique pearls.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed stamp and used stamped off ink for the background. I adhered DSP to the right side and adhered the panel to the inside part of the Z-Fold mechanism with liquid glue. And I added a final pearl to the DSP.

The Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle is definitely a favorite! The label word stamps and dies are wonderful and the die cut flowers are beautiful.

Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the December Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Celebrate” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations bundle from the latest Online Exclusives release to make an Anniversary card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

This is a fun fold card that is wonderful for showing both sides of pretty designer series paper since it uses a folded piece of DSP for the ‘card base’. I folded and burnished a panel of Regal Winter designer series paper and adhered it to a gold foil mat and then to a Real Red card base.

For the card front, I embossed a Basic White panel with the Distressed tile embossing folder and cut a Gold Foil panel with the die from the Perennial Postage dies. I adhered the embossed panel to the die cut foil and adhered it to the short front flap of DSP. I also cut the cake stand from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations dies from Gold foil and adhered it together.

I cut the two pieces of cake from Basic White using the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations dies and I cut the frosting from white glimmer paper. I adhered the frosting to the cake and adhered the two cake layers and cake stand together using thin lines of liquid glue. I adhered the cake to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped several flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set using Real Red ink and leaves using Shaded Spruce ink. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the cake with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set using versamark ink on Shaded Spruce 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 and then fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card with pieces of dimensionals and finished with clear sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a die cut leaf sprig and flower in the corner and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cake Celebrations cakes are beautiful, whether die cut or stamped. And the little flowers and leaf sprigs are perfectly sized for decorating the cake. It’s a wonderful bundle for making yummy cake cards.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus bundle to make a congratulations card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun sketch challenge this week and my interpretation was to use the three flowers in the bundle as the flourishes!

I stamped the triple flower stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and I used stamped off Poppy Parade for the fill of each flower. I used the hybrid embossing folder and dies to cut the flowers out, but I had to cut the flowers apart before die cutting and embossing – I found it so much easier to line up the flower, die and embossed image one at a time.

I used the large leaf die from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus dies to cut four leaves from Garden Green and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I used the sprig die from the Cheerful Daisies dies to cut two sprigs from Pecan Pie and adhered them to the card. I cut two of the small leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus dies from Lost Lagoon and adhered them. Finally I adhered the die cut/embossed flowers using glue dots on the two side flowers and dimensionals on the center flower.

I cut three small flowers from Petal Pink using the small flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus dies and adhered them to the card. I added Crumb Cake shimmer gems to the flower centers and adhered a quadruple loop linen thread bow to the bottom.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I stamped the flower twice stamped off Poppy Parade ink and the leaves in twice stamped off Garden Green ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

There are so many ways to color the pretty flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Happy Hibiscus bundle and so many pretty coordinating dies.

Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a Christmas card with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled bundle with the pretty Nests of Winter designer series paper in a book Z-fold card. I used the awesome die cut sled and skates reminiscent of Christmas door front displays. 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 I used most of the colors in the card:

I scored and burnished the folds in the card base and glued the left side together to make the book bind end. I adhered panels of the Nests of Winter designer series paper to the ends and middle panel with liquid glue. I embossed the light side of the Pool Party two tone card stock (from the Scrapbooking Brochure) with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a panel of Pool Party card stock. I adhered the layered embossed panel to the center flap of the Z-fold, centering it on the card front. I love the embossed light Pool Party against the panel!

I die cut the sections of the sled and skates using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled bundle. I used Real Red for the sled rails and Pecan Pie for the slats. For the skates, I used Real Red for the laces, silver foil for the blades and Basic White for the boots. I also cut two of the greenery boughs using Granny Apple Green and Garden Green card stock. I assembled the skates and sled with liquid glue. I tied a short length of Linen Thread to the sled handles (through the little holes on the side) and adhered the skates to a short length of Linen Thread and to the sled with glue dots. I adhered the Garden Green bough to the sled with a glue dot and cut the Granny Apple Green bough in half before adhering it . I finished with the triple berries.

I adhered the decorated sled to the middle section of the card with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Real Red ink on a Pool Party panel and cut it out with the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled stamp set using Real Red ink on Basic White. I stamped the cardinal in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal next to the DSP strip.

The Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled bundle is just beautiful and definitely one of my all time favorites! The die cut sled is so realistic and well done and it’s pretty easy and fun to assemble. I used to decorate my husband’s childhood sled and prop it on the front porch for Christmas, and it looked pretty much like this one.

Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the November Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees bundle with the Snowy Scenes designer series paper to make a Z Fold Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I scored and burnished a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/4″ Poppy Parade card base at 4-1/4″ and 7″ to make a Z fold card with a skinny front section. This 1-1/4″ front section is in the middle of the card, so I had to trim 1/4″ off the normal card length, but it’s nice and symmetric! I adhered the panels of Snowy Scenes designer series paper to the different sections of the card base.

I used the third largest octagon die from the Countryside Corners die to cut a Pool Party panel and the next smallest size to cut a Basic White panel. I embossed the Basic White panel with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the mat. I adhered the layered octagons to the skinny front panel with liquid glue.

I used the solid tree die from the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees dies to cut a Garden Green panel. I applied an adhesive sheet to the back of a Basic White panel and cut it with the snowflake overlay tree die. I pulled off the adhesive backing and adhered the snowflake overlay to the Garden Green tree. I applied adhesive sheets to the back of a Poppy Parade panel and cut the garland dies. I removed the adhesive sheet backing and adhered the garlands to the tree. I cut a Daffodil Delight star and adhered it to the top of the tree and popped the tree onto the octagons with dimensionals. I finished the tree with iridescent faceted gems.

I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on a Pool Party panel. I cut it out with the small octagon from the Countryside Corners dies and adhered it to the skinny front panel.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the holly leaves and berries from the Snowy Wonder stamp set in Garden Green and Poppy Parade ink in the corner and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal, butting it up next to the DSP trim

The Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees bundle is one of my favorite Christmas tree bundles of all time! There are so many different looks with the overlays, and even with plain cardstock, the trees are beautiful! They’re also fun to make!!

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Keeping Tabs stamp set has different designs and sentiments for tabs and comes bundled with either a punch or a die to make page tabs for journaling or card making. I’ve used it to make a pull tab for my pocket card insert. I picked up the punch bundle and I used the vine pattern tab stamp with a floral design paper from the To Market designer series paper to make a Pocket Birthday card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

After scoring and burnishing my To Market designer series paper pocket, I applied Tear & Tape adhesive to close the sides and adhered the pocket to a Garden Green Panel with liquid glue. I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Peach Pie circle for my flowers.

I used the Enduring Beauty dies to cut a double leaf and two flowers from Garden Green card stock. I also cut the two flowers from Pumpkin Pie and used paper snips to trim the stems. I adhered the Pumpkin Pie flowers to the Garden Green flowers and adhered the leaves and flowers to the Peach Pie circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Keeping Tabs stamp set using Garden Green ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the small banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the circle with dimensionals. I popped the decorated circle on the pocket with dimensionals and finished my pocket with a Garden Green bow and Cajun Craze dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Keeping Tabs stamp set using Peach Pie ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered it to a Garden Green mat. I stamped the vine tab using Garden Green ink on Peach Pie and punched it out with the Stampin’ Up! Keeping Tabs punch. I folded the tab and adhered it to the top of the panel with liquid glue. I cut a Pumpkin Pie heart with the More Than Autumn dies and adhered it to the tab with liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Keeping Tabs bundle is such a fun set and the sentiments are perfect for making tabs for a journal – they’re perfectly sized for fitting on the tabs. And they are also great for making unique fun cards like this pocket card.
