Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Valentine Card

Good Morning! I just love the hearts in the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle and the beautiful Country Floral Lane designer series paper. These are my favorite Valentine’s day items in a long time. And I had to pull them out for another Valentine’s day card, this time for a fun fold! 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 Country Floral Lane designer series paper to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base. The card base is 1″ shorter in the front than the back, so I adhered another strip to the inside of the back panel. I adhered another large floral pattern panel to a Sweet Sorbet mat and adhered it to the front panel with dimensionals and let it extend a little below the card front.

I punched a Sweet Sorbet Heart and a pair of Mossy Meadow leaves from another sheet of Country Floral Lane DSP. I punched three additional large hearts from Basic White card stock and adhered them together with liquid glue and topped them with the DSP heart. This gave me a nice thick heart for the card front! I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a small strip of Basic White. I trimmed the end to make a flag and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I adhered the punched DSP leaves to the card front with liquid and then adhered the layered heart over the leaves and label. I wrapped the card with Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine and made a bow and finished with three gold adhesive sequins.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and stamped the solid tiny hearts in Petal Pink ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card above the Country Floral Lane DSP.

A really simple card made with the pretty papers from the Country Floral Lane designer series paper with a little help from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set. It really makes it easy to get ready for Valentine’s day!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the January Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Love” and I used the cute Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) Valentine! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the large rose from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Polished Pink ink on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamp first in full strength ink and then stamped the background stamp in stamped off ink. I cut it out with the coordinating die.

I stamped the double leaf stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set twice in Soft Succulent ink in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I laid the die cut rose on the panel and stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink to the side.

I adhered the stamped panel to an Evening Evergreen mat with liquid glue and adhered the die cut rose to the layered panel with dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Soft Succulent bow and three In Color Opal gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the open hearts next to the sentiment in Polished Pink ink and adhered the panel to an Evening Evergreen mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

A simple pink rose from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle to say I love you. Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Valentine’s Day Card

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. This sweet bundle is part of the Country Floral Lane suite and has so many wonderful Valentine’s Day and Love themed images, sentiments and embellishments. My card today is a Valentine’s Day card for a friend. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Sweet Sorbet heart designed panel of Country Floral Lane designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base with dimensionals. I stamped the large hearts and flowers stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the coordinating leaves stamp in Soft Succulent on top of the flowers and hearts. I found that this was easy to line up. I fussy cut the heart with my paper snips and adhered it to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the striped heart in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and cut it out with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch. I adhered it to the large heart with glue dots. I stamped two of the small solid hearts in Sweet Sorbet ink on Basic White, punched them out and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White strip. I trimmed the end with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I made a double bow with Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the card with lots of iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White panel. I stamped the double solid mini hearts in Sweet Sorbet next to the sentiment and the little sprig in Soft Succulent under the hears. I trimmed the side of the panel with a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Hearts and flowers say Valentine’s Day and I love the ones in the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle! Here is my card with the bundle and the Country Floral Lane DSP. I love that the punch cuts out so many of the stamps and the DSP too!

Here are the pretty designs in the Country Floral Lane designer series paper pack:

All these pretty items will be available on January 5, 2023, just in time to get ready for Valentine’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! One of the pretty Valentine bundles in the upcoming January – April 2023 Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle. This bundle has a pretty two step photopolymer stamp set with a wonderful coordinating punch and I used it to make a Valentine during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. This bundle along with other items in the Country Floral Lane Suite will be available on January 5, 2023 when the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live. 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 cut a panel of the new Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a Sweet Sorbet mat with liquid glue. I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch to punch the two hearts and leaves from sheet of Country Floral Lane designer series paper. I punched another large heart from Basic White and adhere it to the back of the Sweet Sorbet heart punched from the DSP. I adhered the leaves to the bottom of the large heart and the small heart on top using glue dots.

I folded a length of Burlap stitched ribbon (available January 5) and adhered it to the stitched rectangle with glue dots. I drew a stem with my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write marker and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered it to the stitched rectangle and ribbon with liquid glue. I adhered the punched heart ‘flower’ on the stem with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered the layered stitched rectangle to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a strip of Basic White and cut it out with the small long skinny stitched rectangle die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with Fine Sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large heart from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf in Mink Macaron and stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake. I stamped the little heart in Petal Pink (don’t forget to clean off the Sweet Sorbet ink first) next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom in Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love that the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Punch cuts out some of the images in the Country Floral Lane DSP! And I love the asymmetric, casual design of the hearts. It’s very refreshing and fun! Here’s a picture of the bundle with my card and the two packs of DSP that are in the new Suite.

There are so many pretty sentiments in the bundle and I love the two step large floral heart image where you can stamp flowers in one color and stamp the leaves in another. The suite also has another bundle (which I didn’t get yet) with more flowers and Love themed layered word dies – I love word dies!! That’s next on my shopping list!!

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest designer series paper is a really pretty and versatile Fall themed paper and I’ve recently seen cards featuring the designs colored with blends! Coloring DSP is always fun and I decided to use this technique for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Crushed Curry Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Crushed Curry Card base with liquid glue. I cut a Mossy Meadow panel of the DSP with the third largest stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the card front on an angle.

I colored the veggie panel of the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSP with Stampin’ Blends – light Daffodil Delight on the Crushed Curry squashes, light Soft Suede on the acorns and stems, light Old Olive on the Mossy Meadow squashes and oak leaves, light Pumpkin Pie on the Cajun Craze pumpkins and light Fresh Freesia on the Merry Merlot leaves. I cut the panel with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to the card front on the opposite angle with liquid glue.

I wrapped the card with black and white gingham ribbon and made a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry and cut it out with the small Stitched Rectangle die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished it with a black matte dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the squiggly from the Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I colored a strip of Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSP using Stampin’ Blends like the front panel and adhere it to the bottom of the inside panel before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Here is the card I made during my video with my sample card. For my sample, I reversed the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Harvest DSPs and used a Mossy Meadow card base with an Old Olive label. I love those pretty veggie images and I love the softer tone that you get by coloring the white. Plus it’s easy and fun.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Love You Card

Good Morning! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Sale-A-Bration bundle again to make a love you friendship card. I love the floral papers in this set and I paired it with the new Very Best Occasions sentiment 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 adhered a strip of Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World designer series paper to a Blackberry Bliss mat and adhered it on the side of a floral DSP panel. Then I adhered the layered panel to another Blackberry Bliss mat and adhered it to the front of a Blushing Bride card base with dimensionals.

I used blending brushes to randomly color a basic white panel with Orchid Oasis, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz inks, picking up the background colors in the floral DSP. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World cling stamp set in Blackberry Bliss over the blended panel. After giving a few minutes to make sure the ink was dry, I embossed the stamped panel with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I adhered the panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Very Best Occasion stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Blushing Bride strip and cut it out with the long thin Stylish Shapes die. I cut a strip of Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World designer series paper with the same die and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with three iridescent rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World stamp set under the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World bundle is a pretty floral cling stamp set with coordinating floral designer series paper that is free with a $100 order (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration.

Sale-A-Bration is Going on Now!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cards

Tomorrow is the big day! The new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog will be available for ordering! I have a final set of sneak peek cards made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle. Stampin’ Up! held a virtual event called Creativity Now for Demonstrators where we made several samples using this beautiful bundle and we saw interviews with the designers on the creative process. It was so informative and fun to get behind the scenes on what goes into making products that allow us to express our creativity!

Anyway, I made these three beautiful cards with this beautiful bundle and I’ll give you a quick description of what I did to make them. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used for each card. And tomorrow you’ll be able to order the beautiful Splendid Thoughts bundle along with the gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer series paper!

Sending Hugs Card

I embossed a Calypso Coral panel with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder and brushed white craft ink on top with my blending brush. I wrapped it with the new Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) and made a bow before adhering it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the two leaf sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set with Versamark ink on Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink and embossed them with Copper embossing powder and cut out the images with the corresponding dies. I cut the out the other dies from Basic White along with the arch from the beautiful Splendid Day DSP. I fussy cut the copper embossed sentiment and adhered it to the arch. I adhered the leaves to the card front with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with iridescent pearls.

For the inside, I stamped the images from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink on a Basic White panel. I adhered it to a Calypso Coral mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Much Love Card

This was a fun card to make as it’s focal point is the coloring on the background – it’s done with Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend markers! I used the brush tip and went back and forth with the dark markers in the middle and the light markers on the outsides. I randomly stamped the little bee from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Fresh Freesia and Pool Party. I adhered the panel to a Fresh Freesia Splendid Day panel and popped it on the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with dimensionals. I partially stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes die and adhered a length of folded Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) to the back. I die cut two leaf sprigs from Soft Sea Foam and adhered them to the back of the label and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with beautiful Fresh Freesia opal dots.

I stamped the little bee from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Let’s Celebrate Card

I randomly stamped the large leafy plant from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink all over the front of a Petal Pink card base. I used my paper snips to distress the sides of a Thick Basic White panel – the rough edges are a perfect contrast to the elegant foil arches! I wrapped a length of Soft Sea Foam ribbon (available tomorrow) around the panel and made a knot on the side and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I cut the arch die from the Splendid Stems dies from four different foil panels in the Splendid Day DSP and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Open Leaf Trinket (available tomorrow) to the card with glue dots and embossed the sentiment in Copper on Soft Sea Foam. I cut out the sentiment with the Stylish Shapes die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with iridescent rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I covered the card front and stamped the leafy plant from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Petal Pink around the edge like the card front. I inked it up and stamped it off before stamping it on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle is beautiful and so versatile! And the Splendid Day specialty DSP is gorgeous and perfect for elegant weddings! And these products will be available tomorrow when the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog goes live!

If you haven’t received a catalog yet, but would like to be a customer of mine, I’ll be happy to send you one!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek Cards

Good Morning! Yesterday we had our Quarterly Inkin’ Krew Team meeting and three of our teammates designed cards using the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. This beautiful bundle is part of the Splendid Day suite that also contains the beautiful Splendid Day specialty designer series paper and will be available on July 1, 2022. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Rosie Kean from Rapid City, SD designed this gorgeous Double Z fold wedding card showing off the beautiful foil papers from the Splendid Day specialty DSP. The beautiful foils are matted on Soft Sea foam in the outer card and the inner card uses the linen paper with the Soft Sea Foam leaf panels as mats.

The card bases are Sahara Sand and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set are stamped in Soft Suede. The gorgeous die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies accent the Sahara Sand fabric DSP panels and Rosie designed an optional Basic White back panel for writing a personal message. I added the Soft Sea Foam Bow and iridescent pearls to the front panel.

Karen Ksenzakovic from Somerville, NJ designed this card using all the gorgeous foliage die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies. The Soft Sea Foam card base and Pear Pizzazz mat are perfect with the subtle leafy background of the DSP and allow the beautiful bold die cuts in Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry and Evening Evergreen to really pop!

She finished the card front with a beautiful Soft Sea Foam bow on the linen die cut flower pot. I added the brass butterflies around the leaves. For the inside Karen also added a sentiment in addition to the stamped foliage from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set. You can find more of Karen’s beautiful designs on her blog – Creative Stamping Designs.

Tara Carpenter from Hallsville, MO designed our last card, and it doesn’t show up very well, but it uses shimmery white card stock for the front and inside panels, so it has a beautiful subtle sparkle! She showed us how to mask off the vertical stripe and use blending brushes to apply Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis inks to make a gorgeous multicolor stripe on the card front.

A single Soft Succulent die cut leaf wrapped in Evening Evergreen twine around the panel matted in Soft Succulent and adhered to an Evening Evergreen card base perfectly frames the blended stripe. I had the courage to stamp the sentiment (and it was straight – yay!) and finish it with three iridescent rhinestones. I carried the blended strip to the inside of the card and stamped the sentiment and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle in Evening Evergreen and stamped off Soft Succulent on the inside panel. Find more of Tara’s beautiful cards on her blog – Tarabeth Stamps.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Splendid Day specialty designer series paper will be available on July 1, 2022 and you will not regret putting it at the top of your wish list. It was fun playing with these beautiful products and making cards with Rosie, Karen and Tara during our team meeting and I’m grateful that they shared their beautiful designs with us.

Stampin’ Up! Happy and Heartfelt Congratulations Card

Good Morning! In the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog, there’s a really sweet and unique sentiment stamp set – the Stampin’ Up! Happy and Heartfelt cling stamp set. I love this set and I used it with the pretty retiring Sweet Symmetry designer series paper and the wonderful retiring Pierced Blooms dies 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 adhered a panel of Sweet Symmetry DSP to a Basic White mat with liquid glue. I adhered another strip of Bumblebee Sweet Symmetry DSP across the background DSP panel and a strip of Night of Navy DSP along the left side. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy and Heartfelt stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the label die from the Pierced Blooms die.

I cut the flower using dies from the Pierced Blooms dies from Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Night of Navy and adhered the pieces together with liquid glue. I cut the two large leaf sprigs from Just Jade card stock. I adhered the label to the DSP panel with liquid glue and adhered the leaves with glue dots. I adhered the flower with dimensionals and adhered the panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals.

I made a bow with Bumblebee gingham ribbon and adhered it under the flower with a glue dot and finished the card front with Bumblebee faceted square gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Happy and Heartfelt stamp set in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel. I cut the flower from Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Just jade and adhered it with liquid glue. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Sweet Symmetry DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Aren’t the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Happy and Heartfelt stamp set great! They are so unique and the font is just like handwriting! They can be used with anything, so I pulled out some pretty retiring DSP and dies from my stash. Because I love the Pierced Blooms dies – they remind me of quilted flowers. And they’re one of the retiring items that is on sale, so it’s a great time to pick them up!
