Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy photopolymer stamp set to use with the Countryside Corners bundle to make a card inspired by a handmade box from the new Annual Catalog for my 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 for our Blog Hop this week and it was fun to adapt the colors to our Hop color pallette:

I embossed a Crumb Cake panel with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with liquid glue. I stamped the image from the Countryside Corners cling stamp in Crumb Cake ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the second largest Countryside corners dies.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White. I stamped the large flowers in Pumpkin Pie and the small flowers in Petal Pink. I stamped the stems in Lemon Lime Twist – sometimes I inked up the whole stamp and sometimes I just inked up one section – until all the flowers were connected. I stamped a few long leaf branches in Crumb Cake. I cut the panel with the third largest die from the Countryside Corners dies and adhered it to the Pool Party die cut with liquid glue.

I cut the smallest banner from the Countryside Corners dies from Pool Party and adhered it to the panel. I cut the small leaves and flowers from the Dainty Delight dies from Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist card stock and adhered them to the banner and then adhered the banner to the die cut floral panel. I adhered a length of folded ribbon to the back of the panel and adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set in the corners of a Basic White panel. I used the same ink colors as the floral die cut panel and left plenty of room to write a personal message. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy stamp set go with the designs in the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder. The sentiments in the stamp set are also sweet and in a pretty font making them good for lots of occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies CAS Card

Good Morning! The pretty Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle is a versatile bundle that is so fun to play with and I was inspired by the colorful Gerbera Daisies in the stores to make a card full of colorful flowers. I stamped the petals in each flower in two different colors to create this CAS (clean and simple) card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ to compensate for the embossing shrinkage. I adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the large daisies from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies photopolymer stamp set three times on Basic White. One daisy uses Real Red for the detail stamp and Sweet Sorbet for the filler. Another uses Daffodil Delight for the detail stamp and Lemon Lolly for the filler. The last uses Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath. I stamped the centers all in stamped off Pecan Pie and cut them out with the large outline die. I adhered the pink and yellow flowers with glue dots and popped the red one on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and trimmed the ends with my paper snip. I tied a bow with white baker’s twine and adhered it to the card and adhered the label on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with rhinestone jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large daisy from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Real Red and Sweet Sorbet in the bottom corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the center in stamped off Pecan Pie and I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set makes beautiful flowers, even without the fancy die cuts. The two step stamping is pretty easy to do and it’s a lot of fun to play with different color combinations. I think this would have been pretty with all red daisies too – maybe next time.

Stampin’ Up! Desert Details for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Desert Details is a wonderful southwest theme cling stamp and die set with unique images and sentiments. I’ve had a lot of fun playing with it and experimenting with different techniques, so I decided to use three cactus flowers as my centerpiece 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 sketc challenge this week featurinng three flowers – here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I stamped three of the large cactus flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink on Basic White. After the ink dried, I used a Crushed Curry watercolor pencil to add shading around each petal and the center. This really makes the flower pop. I cut them out with the coordinating die and put them aside. I used the long agave (or are they aloe?) die to cut two leaf frond clusters from the Soft Succulent Dry Brush Metallic specialty paper.

I used the diamond and triangle die from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Detail dies to cut three sections of a Soft Succulent Panel of Delicate Desert DSP. I used a sponge dauber to apply Gray Granite ink to the long diamond stamp and stamped it all over the panel. This gave it a light, splotchy look. I finally ran the panel through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to give it texture. I adhered it to a Cajun Craze panel of Delicate Desert DSP and then adhered it to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with liquid glue.

I adhered the leaves to the card front with glue dots and looped some gold trim around the card, adhering it with glue dots. I adhered the three cactus flowers with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Detail stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on Delicate Desert DSP. I cut the sentiment out with the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two step die cutting method (to shorten the label) and cut a Basic White white label the same size. I adhered the DSP label to the Basic White backing with liquid glue and popped it onto the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with gold adhesive sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small cactus flower from the Stampin’ Up! Desert Details stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White panel. I accented the center and petals with the Crushed Curry water color pencil to get some contrast. I cut the top with the diamond and triangle die. I stamped and embossed a strip of Soft Succulent Delicate Desert DSP to match the front background and adhered it to the bottom of the panel and adhered it to a Cajun Craze Delicate Desert DSP mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. Finally, I adhered a panel of the Cajun Craze DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed it with my paper snips.

It’s fun to see the Cajun Craze peeking through the die cuts on the card and gold sequins are the perfect trimming for anything with the Dry Brushed Metallic DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain bundle is a cute weather theme bundle with cute critters and is perfect for fun spring cards. I used it with the Rain or Shine 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 here is the pretty color palette we are using:

I adhered a panel of Rain or Shine specialty designer series paper to a Mango Melody mat and popped it on an Old Olive card base with dimensionals. I cut bunny and turtle from the DSP with the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain dies and used the same dies to cut a Basic White panel. I adhered the DSP die cuts to the Basic White die cuts to make them thicker for popping on the cards with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain dies to cut a stump from Soft Suede and two grass clumps from Old Olive and adhered these die cuts to the card with liquid glue. Once these were on the card, I could place the bunny jumping over the stump and the turtle looking at the bunny, so I adhered them with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I cut it out with the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and trimmed off the left end with my paper snips. I adhered the label to the card with liquid glue and decorated it with loose daisy embellishments adhered with glue dots. I adhered more daisies around the tree stump to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink across the bottom of a Basic White panel. Since the Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends are no longer available, I used a Blender Pen to color the flowers. I colored the flowers with Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Old Olive ink that I squeezed to the top of my ink pad covers. The flowers are so small that it’s easy to color them with a Blender Pen or a Stampin’ Write marker and get the same look as using Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have so many coloring options and have your colors coordinate with the DSP! I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The some of the cute critters in the Rain or Shine DSP can also be cut out with the Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain dies that cut out the stamped images. Since the DSP critters have the shiny clear embossed look, I decided to use these for the card rather than stamping and coloring new ones. They’re so sweet and cute!

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the cute Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Sale-A-Bration stamp set? I finally pulled mine out and used it with the pretty Happy Forest Friends designer series paper for a natural look. The owls in this set are so sweet and cute that they go great with everything! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

The Paper Player’s Challenge PP622 is a Tag Challenge, so I’m entering today’s card in the challenge!

I adhered a panel of Happy Forest Friends designer series paper to an Old Olive mat and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. I stamped the cute flying owl from the Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls photopolymer stamp set using Soft Suede ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the owl with Stampin’ Blends – dark and light Crumb Cake, light Daffodil Delight, light Balmy Blue and light Petal Pink. I fussy cut this owl with my paper snips. It’s not the easiest piece to cut out, so don’t examine it too close, just look at the big blue eyes and say ‘Awww’.

I used a blending brush to apply Balmy Blue ink to the center of a Basic White panel and cut it out with the second largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut a panel of Old Olive with the second largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies and adhered it to the back of the blue circle. I adhered the layered circles to the card front with liquid glue and popped the fussy cut owl on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Crumb Cake Panel and cut it out with the small angled Tailor Made Tags die. I cut the reinforcer from Old Olive and adhered it to the tag. I looped a short length of stitched burlap ribbon through the hole and tied it off with white baker’s twine, making a bow. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with pastel iridescent gems.

I kept the inside simple by trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with Happy Forest Friends DSP and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal

The owls in the Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls stamp set are so cute and sweet! This is one of the free Sale-A-Bration items you can get for free wit a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration.

Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode Hello Card

Good Morning! One of the upcoming Sale-A-Bration items is a huge pack of designer series paper called Dandy Designs. This is an item that you can choose for free with a $100 order! I chose three different warm colored patterns to use with the awesome Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies for a simple hello card. 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 strip of plaid Dandy Designs designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat and adhered it to a floral panel of the DSP. I adhered these to another Calypso Coral mat and wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the panel twice and tied a loopy bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base with dimensionals.

I cut a geometric panel of Dandy Designs DSP with the large label die from the Something Fancy dies (also available January 5) and adhered it to a matching Pale Papaya die cut. I applied adhesive sheets to the back of a Calypso Coral panel and cut out the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies. I peeled off the adhesive sheets and adhered the letters to the label and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I cut the small daisy flower die from the Dainty Delights dies from Calypso coral and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot. I added a Crushed Curry Glossy dot to the center of the flower to finish the card. I love the way this die cut flower reflects the flowers in the DSP!

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of the floral Dandy Designs designer series paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card. This leaves plenty of room to write a personal message!

The adhesive sheets work really well with the letters in the Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode dies, since they are so thin and these are good sized die cut letters at just over 1-1/2″ tall! They’re perfect for customizing cards with names or making monogram note cards. There are also doubles of common letters along with numbers and punctuation. Here are my dies:

The Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode will be available on January 5, 2023 when the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live and Sale-A-Bration begins. I’m so excited!

The July–December 2022 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! It’s always bittersweet to see a classic Stampin’ Up! catalog take a trip to retirement. But, we’re looking forward to all the new products on their way—and we hope you are, too!

Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Just A Note Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is a beautiful set and today I paired it with the Fabulous Frames dies and metallic foil for a Fall floral note 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 Evening Evergreen Boughs of Holly designer series paper to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of copper Brushed Metallic foil with the small scalloped frame from the Fabulous Frames dies. I adhered a panel of Layering Designs Vellum to the back of the frame with dots of liquid glue and adhered the frame to the front of the card with glue dots.

I stamped one of the large floral bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and I cut it out with the 4 section large die. I only needed two more berry sprigs, so I inked up the berry part of the stamp and stamped it on a smaller Basic White panel before cutting it out with the 4 section die. I colored the pieces with Stampin’ Blends. Cajun Craze for the berries, So Saffron for the berry leaves, Pale Papaya and Soft Suede for the flowers Soft Succulent and Old Olive for the flower leaves. I stamped the small single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black, cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Soft Suede, Pale Papaya and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

I arranged the berry clusters on the inside and outside of the frame and adhered them with glue dots. I adhered the large flower with dimensionals over the berries. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on the right end of a strip of Pale Papaya card stock. I used paper snips to trim the end and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered the flower over the end of the label banner with glue dots and added three Pale Papaya Opal Gems around the bouquet.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the berry end of the large floral bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and colored them with Cajun Craze and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I cut one of the picture corners from copper Brushed Metallic foil and adhered it to a lower corner with liquid glue.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp bundle is such a pretty bundle and the images are great for coloring.

Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Kindness Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the pretty Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree bundle? This bundle has a pretty aspen forest background die cut that also looks like a birch tree background. And the cling stamps have a sweet bird and beautiful sentiments that can be used for any time of year. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a Basic White panel with the large tree frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree bundle and adhered it to a panel of Gray Granite Boughs of Holly designer series paper. I frayed the ends of a short length of Natural ribbon and adhered it to the panel with Stampin’ Seal before adhering the layered die cut to the front of a Gray Granite card base.

I cut a large aspen leaf and two small leaves from each of the colors of Brushed Metallic Foil using the Aspen Tree dies and adhered them to the card front over the ribbon with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink on Soft Suede. I sprinkled the sentiment with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes large banner die. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with three iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pretty little bird in the lower corner of a Basic White panel in Gray Granite ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how using the different textures from the DSP, ribbon and foil leaves makes this card so elegant! But it all starts with the beautiful tree frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings So Grateful Card

Good Morning! Here’s another fall card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set. I used it with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for a leaf filled so grateful card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the pretty maple leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set multiple times around a Sahara Sand panel. I stamped it in Crushed Curry, Soft Succulent, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry and Mango Melody, cleaning it off between stampings. I embossed the panel with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a Mango Melody mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Versamark Ink on Rich Razzleberry and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated it until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the large banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies so that the sentiment was on the right side of the banner. I trimmed left end straight and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I made a four loop bow from Linen Thread and adhered it on the sentiment label with a glue dot. I finished the label with a large amber gem (I love these gems!!).

For the inside of the card, I stamped parts of the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set on a Sahara Sand panel using the same ink colors as the card front. I embossed the panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the side of a Basic White panel with liquid glue before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set is so pretty and the sentiments are great! It’s the perfect stamp set for this time of year!

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.
