Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I’m sharing a fun card made with the new Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set. This cute new set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog is available today! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge and here is the pretty card sketch we are using this week:

I adhered a panel of Happy Forest Friends designer series paper to a Basic Black mat and adhered it all to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the cute food from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. Before stamping, I laid out the stamps on a panel inside the rectangle die so I could figure how to arrange the food items in a tasty way. When I went to stamp the items, I first stamped the larger food items and there was a few larger white spaces, so I filled them in with additional chilis, so my tacos are a bit spicier! I colored the images with Stampin’ Blends – Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Real Red, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink. I cut the panel with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to Basic Black and Real Red mats before adhering it to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry card stock. I cut it out with the smallest long skinny Stitched Rectangle die using the two step method – partially cut one end and move the die before cutting the other end. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the chips, chilis and lime from the Stampin’ Up! Taco Fiesta stamp set in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored them the same as the card front with Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom wit a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Fancy Flora Suite is beautiful and I really love the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle! The two-step stamping flowers are fun to make and easy to do and they come out beautiful! I love that they all have coordinating dies and the beautiful floral background die is really gorgeus!

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.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms bundle to make a little miss you card. This bundle comes with a pretty set of cling floral stamps with sweet sentiments and a two sided punch that punches out leaves on one side and flowers on the other. 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 here’s the pretty sketch that inspired my card:

I used the fourth largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut out a panel of the pretty Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper and adhered it to a Just Jade mat. I punched two leaves with the Bough Punch from the Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms bundle from Mint Macaron and adhered them to the panel with glue dots. I punched three flowers and adhered them to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms stamp set in Polished Pink and fussy cut it out with a thin white edge. I adhered the flower to the card with dimensionals and made a double bow with white crinkle ribbon and tucked it under the flower, adhering it with a glue dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heat set the sentiment until it was shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the second smallest long skinny rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles dies and adhered it to a Just Jade mat. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals and finished the card front off with adhesive sequins.

For the inside, I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms stamp set in Polished Pink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I made a mask from copy paper and covered the flower and stamped the leaves in Mint Macaron and the small flowers in daffodil delight. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Abstract Beauty DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Boughs and Blossoms bundle is really sweet and the perfect set for making springtime floral cards for every occasion.

Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home Miss You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home bundle is one of the prettiest sets of floral stamps and dies. I paired it with the pretty Heart & Home designer series paper and Many Messages stamp to make a simple 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 Heart & Home designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered them both to the front of Fresh Freesia card base. I cut another panel of Heart & Home DSP with the Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a garden green mat with liquid glue.

I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home cling stamp set in Basic Gray ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Fresh Freesia on the flowers and the leaves with Light Shaded Spruce and Light Mossy Meadow – this gives me a color that is real close to Garden Green. I cut the flower out with the coordinating die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Many Messages cling stamp in Evening Evergreen and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle die. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with three brass butterflies and a white baker’s twine bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set in Evening Evergreen on a Basic White panel. I cut a Fresh Freesia panel with the floral die from the Honeybee Blooms dies and adhered it to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue. I adhered a strip of Heart & Home DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home bundle is part of the Heart & Home Suite with pretty florals and fresh Shabby Chic designs that are perfect for many occasions. The sentiments in the stamp set are beautiful and there are a variety of sweet floral dies that are great with a variety of card making artistic techniques.

Stampin’ Up! Summer Days Miss You Card

Good Morning! Today I have a card made with the Stampin’ Up! Summer Days cling stamp set. This is a Host Cling stamp set that is an exclusive purchase with Host Dollars. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the tree-lined road stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Summer Days stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Whisper White panel. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Balmy Blue, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and the Color Lifter. I cut out the image using the largest square from the Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered it to a Mossy Meadow mat.

I adhered a panel of wood grained In Good Taste designer series paper to the front of a Cinnamon Cider card base. I embossed a panel of Sahara Sand card stock with the Greenery embossing folder and adhered it to the card front. I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the card front three times and tied a bow on the right side and popped the stamped panel on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Well Said cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an Old Olive panel and adhered it to a Mossy Meadow mat before adhering it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I used glue dots to adhere the wood leaf from the In Good Taste Elements to the label.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the left side of the tree-lined road stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Summer Days stamp set in stamped off Sahara Sand ink on the lower right corner of a Whisper White panel. I adhered a strip of the In Good Taste DSP to the bottom and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Summer Days stamp set is a Host stamp set. This means that it is specially priced stamp set that can only be purchased with Stampin’ Rewards Host Dollars that are earned through hosting a party or workshop or by placing an individual qualifying order.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely You Bundle Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Today I have a sneak peek of a wonderful new bundle from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that will be available on June 3. The bundle is the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You bundle and it consists of the Lovely You cling stamp set and fun Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. You can find the sizes of cardstock used at the bottom of my post.

I used the new 2020-2021 In Color Misty Moonlight for my card base and I used a Misty Moonlight floral patterned card from the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More card pack (available June3) for the background. Since this is a 4″ x 6″ card, I cut it at 4″ x 5-1/4″ and used the bottom to trim the inside.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely You stamp set (available June 3) on a 3/4″ strip of Whisper White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This stamp set has a bunch of sweet sentiments in a really sweet font along with some solid stamp floral images. Then I punched the ends of the strip with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (available June 3). This is the coolest punch because you can get 6 different ends – 2 designs with 3 sizes each! It’s perfect for creating labels because you can easily customize the length and you can create a layered label like I did here. The label background is cut from a 1″ strip of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2021 In Color designer series paper (available June 3) that is 1/4″ longer than the Whisper White strip.

I adhered the two labels together with multipurpose liquid glue and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I punched a small butterfly using the Butterfly Duet Punch, trimmed it with rhinestones and adhered it to the label with a glue dot.

I adhered the leftover strip of the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More card pack (available June3) to the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I punched another butterfly for the upper corner and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This is just a simple sneak peek of some of the new products in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that will be available on June 3. I’ll be getting catalogs for my customers on Friday and send them out on Monday. If you are interested in getting one, head to my Online Store to place an order and I will send you one too.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence Miss You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I have a whimsical miss you card to brighten your day using the sweet Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence stamp bundle along with the Well Written Dies.

We have a color challenge this week, and here is the bright, fun color palette we are using:

My card also fits with the current challenge at TGIF Challenges – #TGIFC261- Use Your Words. Check it out – it’s a fun challenge and the cards are so cute.

I adhered a panel of the Daffodil Delight sprinkles paper from the Birthday Bonanza designer series paper pack to a Grapefruit Grove mat and then to a thick Whisper White card base with multipurpose liquid glue. I cut a panel of Whisper White with a Stitched So Sweetly Dies scalloped rectangle and embossed it with the Scripty embossing folder. I adhered it to the card front with multipurpose liquid glue.

I stamped 9 three petal flower clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark Ink on the Grapefruit Grove starburst paper from the Birthday Bonanza DSP pack. I sprinkled them with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set until shiny and punched them out with the Perennial Flower Punch. I gently curved the petals with my fingers and made three flowers by adhering the centers with multipurpose liquid glue – each flower has three sets of petals. I added a fun, fuzzy Perennial Essence Floral Center to each flower. I stamped 6 leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence stamp set using Bermuda Bay ink on the Bermuda Bay confetti paper from the Birthday Bonanza DSP pack and punched them out with the Leaf Punch.

I cut out the sentiment from Bermuda Bay card stock using the Well Written Dies. I also cut two Well Written Dies butterflies from Daffodil Delight card stock. With all the pieces cut out, I arranged them on the card front and started assembly by adhering the Bermuda Bay words with multipurpose liquid glue – Don’t lose the tiny dot for the ‘I’! I adhered the leaves with multipurpose liquid glue and the flowers with glue dots. Lastly, I adhere a little butterfly and finished it off with Calypso Coral enamel dots.

I adhered the second butterfly to the top corner of a Whisper White panel and added the strip of Daffodil Delight DSP. I adhered the decorated panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat and then to the inside of the card.

What do you think of stamping on the designer series paper? It’s a little different, giving a little extra texture to the flowers and leaves. Too bad I didn’t die cut the butterflies from the Daffodil Delight sprinkle paper – next time.
