Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Hello Card

Good morning! Today I have a simple Hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set and the pretty Meandering Meadows 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 adhered a panel of the Garden Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to Daffodil Delight and Shaded Spruce mats and popped them on the front of a Parakeet Party card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Parakeet Party panel and cut it out with the large circle die from the Radiating Stitches dies.

I tied a length of Parakeet Party metallic ribbon in a bow and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Parakeet Party iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little wildflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Basic White panel. I used the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to color the flower and dabbed the dark Mossy Meadow and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends around the flowers to add interest and match the front DSP. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow bundle has sweet garden themed images and pretty sentiments. The beautiful Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ DSP has gorgeous woodland and wildflower images that make beautiful scenic cards quite easily. Both of these products are part of the Online Exclusive collection so will be around for a while. But the pretty Parakeet Party products are part of the 2022-2024 In Color collection that is retiring at the end of the month.

Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature bundle is a pretty botanical stamp set and I used it with the pretty Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I added some Granny Apple Green:

I embossed a panel of Pebbled Path card stock with the retiring Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Pebbled Path card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I used the Lovely & Sweet dies to cut the small leaves and flowers from Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Distressed Gold. I adhered the die cuts to the card with glue dots and finished the flowers with gold Festive Pearls.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature Stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I needed some more Pecan Pie on my card for the Hop color challenge, so I folded a length of Pecan Pie ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots and popped the label on top with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves form the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature stamp set using Pebbled Path ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored the leaves with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature bundle is such a pretty botanical set with wonderful sentiments and great dies.

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Hello Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle has sweet bees, flowers and hearts that are not just for Valentine’s Day. So I paired the stamp set with the pretty Bee Mine designer series paper to make a flower filled Springtime Hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a floral panel of Bee Mine designer series paper to a Sweet Sorbet mat with liquid glue and wrapped two lengths of Sweet Sorbet ribbon around the left side. I secured the ribbon to the back with Stampin’ Seal and used glue dots to tack it down in the front. I adhered the panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base with dimensionals.

I stamped three stems from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set on the bottom of a Basic White panel using Lemon Lime Twist ink. I stamped flowers on top in Pool Party, Sweet Sorbet and Petal Pink. I stamped the sentiment from the Let’s Chat stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out the flowers with the 2″ circle Punch. I used the pretty circle Everyday Details die to cut a Sweet Sorbet panel and adhered the punched circle to the die cut mat.

I adhered the layered circles to the card using dimensionals and added a Parakeet Party aker’s twine bow and Sweet Sorbet heart.

I left the inside of the card simple by just adhering a strip of Bee Mine DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat before adhering it the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sweet Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and punch are returning in the upcoming annual catalog, however they will no longer be available as a bundle with the 10% discount. But the Bee Mine DSP is retiring, and is only available while supplies last. And the pretty Sweet Sorbet will be retiring with the other 2022-2024 In Colors, to make way for the new In Colors.

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the cute Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat stamp set with the pretty Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a hello 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 stamped the phone – base, handle and cord – from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat stamp set in Balmy Blue on a Basic White panel. I adhered the stamped panel and two panels of Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to Fresh Freesia mats with liquid glue.

I adhered larger DSP panel to the front of a Bubble Bath card base with dimensionals and adhered the second panel on top with liquid glue. I popped the phone panel on top with dimensionals .

I stamped the word bubble from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat stamp set using Bubble Bath ink on Basic White card stock. I fussy cut the word bubble with my paper snips and stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink. I adhered the word bubble to the card with dimensionals and finished with colorful dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the handle and cord from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat stamp set using Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the retro phone and sweet sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Chat stamp set. It’s fun design for sending cheerful greetings.

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Sale-A-Bration Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated bundle is a wonderful bundle that you can get for free with a $100 order. It consists of a pretty floral stamp set and 3D embossing folder and I used it with the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled designer series paper for today’s card. 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 embossed a panel of Calypso Coral Softly Stippled designer series paper with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the left side of a floral panel of DSP. I adhered the layered DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and popped the panel on the front of a Pebbled Path card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Shaded Spruce and the flowers in Calypso Coral. I cut the panel using the second largest rectangle Thoughtful Expressions dies. I separated a strand of Pebbled Path jute and tied it around the panel and made a bow. I popped the panel on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped another set of flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut the flowers. I adhered the flowers with dimensionals and finished with iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White. I stamped the flowers in Calypso Coral and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Softly Stippled designer series paper are both Sale-A-Bration items that you can get for free with your qualifying order. But hurry, because there are only two weeks left. Sale-A-Bration ends on February 29.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Hello Card

Good Morning! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set with the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled designer series paper for a hello card for today. The pretty sentiments in this stamp set are some of my favorites and it goes well with the pretty DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Freshly Made Sketches #620:

I embossed a panel of Lost Lagoon with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of floral Softly Stippled designer series paper with the 3″ Deckled Circle die and I cut a panel of watercolor wash Wild Wheat DSP with the next largest die. I adhered the circles together with liquid glue and popped them on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty hello there sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White. I cut it out with a deckled circle die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I colored one of the butterfly cut outs with the light Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blend and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card by adding three blue iridescent gems to the butterfly.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wildflowers from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in twice stamped off Wild Wheat ink on Basic White. I stamped the little butterfly from the Painted Lavender stamp set in stamped off Lost Lagoon ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Softly Stippled DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

When you have pretty sentiments like the in the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set, go ahead and use them with new products like the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled DSP. It’s great to be able to coordinate new products with those you already have.

Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise Hello Card

Good Morning! Here’s a CAS card made with the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise cling stamp set. This pretty set has reversible photopolymer stamps that you can build an indoor garden with planters, leaves and hangers. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I was inspired to use this bundle to make a CAS card by the sketch in Freshly Made Sketches #619:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the pretty new Sale-A-Bration Softly Sophisticated embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White mat. I wrapped a length of Pebbled Path jute twice around the left side and tied a knot and adhered the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I stamped the pot and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set on Basic White. I stamped the pot in Copper Clay and the leaves in Garden Green. I fussy cut the pot and leaves with my paper snips and adhered the leaves to the back of the pot with liquid glue. I popped the pot and leaves to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I used the flower die from the Stippled Roses dies to cut a Crushed Curry panel and adhered the flowers to the plant with glue dots. I used white sequins to accent the flower centers.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pot from the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set in Copper Clay ink on a Basic White panel. I decided to make this a “before” image, so I left it empty, giving the recipient an opportunity to think about what they will fill it with. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set has so many different leaves and pots that are pretty easy to fussy cut. And they’re in different sizes, making it pretty easy to combine with other plant stamps in your stash. And with the bitter cold outside, indoor plants are good way to bring cheer to your day – and with stamping, there’s no dirt to clean up!

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today iis the big day for the opening of the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’m using the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle with the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for a Hello card. 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 Pebbled Path grid Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with liquid glue. I cut the side of another panel of the DSP with the notebook die and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. The cool thing about this pattern is that the script is written in both directions, so you don’t need to worry about it being upside down!

I stamped the field notes stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Pecan Pie panel. I stamped the sprig over the notes and cut it out with the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the leaf cluster three times in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored the leaves with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the flower twice using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink and light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the leaves and flowers with the coordinating dies.

I adhered two die cut leaf clusters to the die cut circle with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Soft Sea Foam and used the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shaped dies to cut it out in two steps. I adhered the label to the circle with dimensionals and adhered the decorated circle to the card with dimensionals. I made a loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it to the card with a glue dot and popped one of the die cut flowers over it with dimensionals and a glue dot. I finished the front with Pebbled Path dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the grid from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set several times using twice stamped off Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I adhered the last die cut leaves and flowers together with liquid glue and adhered it to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle is a wonderful set with pretty images and sentiments and great dies. The Nature’s Sweetness is absolutely gorgeous with the gold foil touches. Both of these products will also work well with other flower and animal stamp sets to fill out your Nature’s Journal.

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated Hello Card

Good Morning! Next week the new January – April 2024 Mini Catalog will open and Sale-A-Bration will start! Today’s card uses some of the new Sale-A-Bration items, the pretty Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Softly Stippled designer series paper 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.

The Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated bundle is a pretty two-step photopolymer stamp set that comes with an embossing folder. I used the embossing folder to emboss a panel of Softly Stippled designer series paper and adhered it to the bottom of a Lost Lagoon mat. I adhered a floral panel of the Softly Stippled DSP to the top and wrapped a length of Lost Lagoon ribbon around the seam, tying a knot.

I adhered the decorated panel to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with dimensionals. I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with the label die from the Autumn Leaves dies.

I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals over the ribbon. I accented the card with two cork dots from the upcoming mini catalog.

For the inside of the card, I stamped one of the stems from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated stamp set in stamped off Wild Wheat and the flowers in stamped off Lost Lagoon in the corner of a Basic White panel I adhered a strip of DSP the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

When Sale-A-Bration starts on January 4, 2024, you will be able to add free items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure to your orders when purchase the required minimum. The Softly Stippled designer series paper can be selected with an order over $50 and the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sophisticated bundle can be selected with an order over $100.

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle is a wonderful new bundle from the upcoming new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. It’s from the Nature’s Sweetness suite of products and has fun botanical images of cacao and vanilla pods. I used the pretty images from the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for a simple Hello card today. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Today’s card also uses the pretty sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #616:

I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper to the front of a Pecan Pie card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel featuring cacao pods on top with liquid glue. Using the pretty images from the DSP makes the card really quick and easy to make!

I used one of the leaf sprig dies from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature dies to cut a parakeet panel twice. I adhered the die cut leaf sprigs to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I trimmed the ends with paper snips and adhered a length of Natural Wavy Trim to the bottom with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with cool cork dots that are also part of the Nature’s Sweetness suite.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the rich earth tones in the Nature’s Sweetness suite and the botanical line drawings are fabulous! Here’s a picture of the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle:

These products will be available on January 4, when the new mini catalog opens.
