Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle with the Simply Said stamp set and Lovely Garden designer series paper to make a Hello card for today. 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 and I interpreted the flowers as the oval.

I adhered a panel of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base with liquid glue and adhered a contrasting black and white striped panel on top.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White four times amd cut it out with the small flower die. I partially inked the smaller flower with the ink and stamped it on one side of a Basic White strip and then flipped it, inked it up again and stamped the other side, so I get a clean stamped flower. I colored the flowers with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating small single flower die.

I used the leaf die from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden dies to cut the light side of Garden Green Two-Tone card stock and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set on Fresh Freesia and cut it out with the banner die fromt eh Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and also used glue dots to adhere two of the die cut flowers. I popped the last flower on the card with dimensionals and finished with Fresh Freesia dots and a white ribbon tie.

For the inside, I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I cut a single leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden leaf cluster die and adhered it and the last flower to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle are so pretty and can be colored in so many ways! I also love how you have dies to cut single flowers from the bouquets because it gives you more options to use the stamp set. It’s a wonderful bundle!

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! Simply Said Hello Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set, featuring the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and the pretty Painted Lavender dies from the current annual catalog. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My design was inspired by the current challenge in Freshly Made Sketches #673:

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Gorgeous Grape ink on the front of a Fresh Freesia card base. This stamp set has several simple sentiments that go well with many different designs for any occasion.

I cut a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper with the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I traced the outline of the die on Gorgeous Grape card stock and fussy cut the circle for a perfect mat. I adhered the DSP to the mat with liquid glue and adhered them both to the card front.

I cut the leaf sprig from the Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and the double flower stems from Gorgeous Grape. I adhered the leaves and one of the flowers to the card with glue dots. I finished with Purple shimmer gems and a length of white ribbon tied in a knot.

For the inside panel, I left it simple, just trimming the side of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. This leaves plenty of room for a personal message.

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set is my go to stamp set for a simple front of card sentiment. And the Challenge inspired me to pull out and use some old favorites – the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and Painted Lavender stamp and dies.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Hello Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day – the premiere of the new Stampin’ Up! January – April Mini Catalog! It is also the start of Sale-A-Bration and the release of a new set of Online Exclusives and a new Scrapbooking Brochure!

To celebrate, I made this hello card with the cute new Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle from the new mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I made my Granny Apple Green card base by scoring a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel and cutting off half of the front flap (cut at 2-3/4″). I covered the card base with Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper panels, the leafy panel for the small front panel, two garden panels for the short front flap and the stripe panel for the inside. I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink twice on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered them to bottom of the front panel with liquid glue.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch to punch three mushroom caps from strips of Toadstool Gardens DSP. I used a sponge dauber to apply Melon Mambo ink to the edge of the punched caps to make them stand out against the DSP. I used a Gray Granite strip of the DSP to punch mushroom stems and fussy cut one with my paper snips so that it is larger. I used a sponge dauber to apply Gray Granite ink to the outsides.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using a two step method so it was long enough. I adhered the label to the panel with glue dots and adhered the toadstool stems with liquid glue. I popped the toadstool caps on with dimensionals and finished with three green Tinsel Gems. I adhered the panel to the short front flap with liquid glue applied to the left side of the panel.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bug next to it using Gray Granite ink. I stamped the wings on Basic White using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the wings with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside with Stampin’ Seal so that it’s covered by the decorated panel.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun bundle and makes cheerful cards when used with the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration DSP. They’re both perfect for Springtime cards!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle and the pretty Wildly Flowering designer series paper with the sentiments from the Citrus Blooms stamp sets for a simple fun fold Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a or challenge this week and it’s perfect for the Wildly Flowering designer series paper!

I cut panels of Moody Mauve Wildly Flowering designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats before adhering them to the inside and front flap of a Moody Mauve card base. Instead of using a Moody Mauve panel, I cut a Misty Moonlight panel to adhere to the front flap. I cut a panel of Moody Mauve DSP and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel with liquid glue. And I used the panel without the little bouquets.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the scalloped frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs dies and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals. I used the small hexagon panel to cut a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP and adhered it to the center with liquid glue.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set using Versamark ink on a Misty Moonlight panel. 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 little diamond die from the Unbounded Love dies. I made a bow with linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with Dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I used Crumb Cake ink to ink up the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set and stamped it off before stamping it over the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside panel with liquid glue, being careful to line it up under the front panel so is hidden when the card is closed.

I love how the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle looks with the Wildly Flowering DSP and I finally figured out why I love this paper so much. It looks just like wallpaper I had in my house 30 years ago! Definitely vintage! LOL.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Hello Card

Good Morning! I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle for today’s Hello card and boy, I really love this set! I used the tall stamped leaves and small flowers – both two step stamping images with coordinating dies. I also used the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper and the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Petunia Pop with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of a Petunia Pop card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to a Berry Burst mat and adhered it to the card front.

I cut a Pretty Peacock panel with the leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the tall leafy stems using Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White, using full strength for the detailed stamp and stamped off ink for the filler. I found it easiest to stamp the detailed stamp first and the filler stamp on top. I stamped the small flowers using Petunia Pop ink – full strength for the detail and stamped off for the filler.I cut the stems and flowers out with the coordinating dies and adhered the flowers to the leaves with dots of liquid glue. I popped the flowers on the card with dimensionals, leaving room for the label on the bottom.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small circle label die. I cut a large circle from Berry Burst and adhered it to the back and adhered it to the card with liquid glue, tucking it under the flowers. I finished the label with a shimmery Petunia Pop dot and adhered a Petunia Pop bow with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the stem and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on the side of a Basic White panel – full strength for the detailed stamp and stamped off for the filler stamp. I used the same technique for the flowers using Petunia Pop ink, and then added more flowers with the triple flower stamps to fill in some of the blank spots. I adhered the panel to a Berry Burst mat and adhered the layered paenls to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty bundle is so versatile with so many different flowers and dies. I really love how this set of stamped and die cut flowers and stems look, even though it takes a little time to line up the stamps and dies. And of course I love the larger flowers too – they’re a little easier to line up. You can get so many different looks with this bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I finally got to play with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse bundle and made this sweet hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty color challenge this week and I think I used all the colors:

I embossed a strip of Country Lace designer series paper with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to another panel of Country Lace DSP. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Basic Beige card base with liquid glue. I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse dies to cut out different panels of Country Woods DSP to make the birdhouse. I used liquid glue to adhere the die cuts together and adhered the birdhouse to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the bird and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the bird with light Boho Blue and light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and I used Flirty Flamingo, Peach Pie, dark Daffodil Delight and light Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers. I cut out the birds and floweers with the coordinating dies. I also die cut some leaves and a flower from Basic White and colored them with light Lemon Lime Twist and Light Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set. in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic Beige panel. I used one of the new tag dies from the upcoming Greetings of the Season dies (available July 3) to cut it out. I colored a length of Linen Trhead with the light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend and looped it through the hole, tying a knot. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered the bird to and flowers to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished with metallic textured dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set across the bottom of a Basic White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the flowers like the flowers on the front and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The die cut birdhouse from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse bundle is really wonderful and fun to make. And the sweet images and pretty sentiments make this a pretty versatile bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Hello Card

Good Morning! Here’s another card made with the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers bundles. And I used the new neutral color Basic Beige with Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon and Gray Granite for a soft look. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a strip of Country Lace designer series paper to the front of a Basic Beige card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel to a Lost Lagoon mat and wrapped a length of Petal Pink ribbon around it. I tied the ribbon on the side with Gray Granite baker’s twine making a bow and adhered the panel to the the side of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink on Basic Beige and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the can and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers stamp set using Gray Granite ink on Basic White. I colored the can with the light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend and the flowers with Petal Pink, light Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered the can to the card with glue dots and popped the flowers on with dimensionals. I cut the double flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers Dies from Petal Pink card stock and a set of leaves from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut flowers and leaves to the card with glue dots and finished the flower centers with small Lemon Lolly dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP . I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the farmhouse look of the Stampin’ Up! Country Flowers bundle and the new Basic Beige color gives the card a light and clean look, even with layers and ribbons!

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Sneak Peek

Good morning! I finally got my pre-order for the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I made my first card with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes along with pictures of the new products. All the new products will be available on May 1, 2024.

I adhered a panel of the new Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Summer Splash (one of the new 2024-2026 In Colors) card base. I embossed another panel of the DSP with one of the Fun Patterns embossing folder and adhered it to a mat and then to the card front.

I cut a circle using one of the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop. The sentiment is from the pretty Unbounded Love bundle and Petunia Pop is another new In Color. I used a Blending Brush to apply Sunny Splash ink to the circle and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used another new In Color, Pretty In Pink to color the flowers and Summer Splash for the leaves. These stamps are two-step, so I used the full strength ink for the line images and stamped off ink for the fill. I used Petunia Pop for the large flower center. I adhered the small flowers and leaves to the circle with glue dots and adhered the large flower with dimensionals. I made a bow with the new Pretty In Pink ribbon and used Sunny Splash shimmer dots to finish the front.

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

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite in the new Annual Catalog and use all the new 2024-2026 In Colors. Here is the stamp set and dies that are included in the bundle:

Here are the new stamp pads, ribbon and pretty shimmer dots that I used for today’s card:

Here is the pretty Unbounded Beauty designer series paper. The colors are Berry Burst, Cajun Craze, Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash.

And here is the back sides of the DSP.

And here is the pretty Unbounded Love bundle that the sentiment came from. This bundle is also part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite, so they compliment the florals in the DSP and the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle. I love these sentiments – the fonts are so pretty and there is a huge range of messages! I can’t wait to use these pretty label dies.

All of these new items will be available on May 1, 2024 when the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog opens for ordering.

Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty bundle is a beautiful bundle with a large floral bouquet and pretty sentiments. The dies cut out the flowers and have complimentary bud and leaf dies and includes a pretty label. And it also includes a set of masks that you can use to color the flowers! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of striped Lemon Lolly Lighter than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and popped it on the front of a Lemon Lolly card base.

I stamped the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with the light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend and the Leaves with the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die. I used my paper trimmer to cut the bouquet in half and trimmed off a small corner of each piece. I adhered the panels to the corners of my card using dimensionals, aligning the corners with the DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set using Versamark ink on a Lemon Lolly panel. I sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut out the label with the label die and adhered it with dimensionals and glue dots. I cut out some leaves from Lost Lagoon and flower buds from Lemon Lolly using the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty dies. I tucked the flowers and leaves under the bouquet, adhering them with liquid glue. I finished the card with a Lemon Lolly bow and clear rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers using the light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend and the leaves using the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty line images in the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty bundle can be colored in so many ways. I was pleased that it made such pretty corners to fit with today’s card sketch, but next time, I need to use the pretty bouquet in the center of my card.
