Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details bundle is full of simple, sweet images and wonderful dies. I used the pretty teacup image and circle die with the pretty Poetic Expressions designer series paper to make a sweet friendship or encouragement blank note card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered a floral panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the teacup from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and colored it with light Balmy Blue, light Bubble Bath, dark Lemon Lolly and light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with a pretty circle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White strip. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to make fishtails on both ends. I punched the ends of a Wild Wheat strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and adhered the stamped label to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and popped the teacup on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Pecan Pie ribbon tied in a knot and pink sequins.

I left the inside of the card blank, simply trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering it with Stampin’ Seal.

The teacup is one of three pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set. The stamp set also has wonderful sentiments in a pretty mixed font and the die set is wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender bundle and Perennial Lavender designer series paper are some of the prettiest new products in the new Mini Catalog, especially if you are a purple lover! I used these products to make a fun fold card for today – a simple Z-fold with die cut extender panel. 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 used most of the colors, but not all!

I adhered panels of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to Gorgeous Grape mats and adhered them to panels of the card base. I used the same pattern for the front and inside and a contrasting pattern for the middle section. I used the second largest rectangle to cut a Gorgeous Grape panel. It only cut three sides, so I aligned the die with the scallops to cut the fourth side and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine a second time and it made a nice square! I adhered a checked panel of Perennial Lavender DSP to the front and adhered it to front of the card by applying liquid glue to the left side.

I cut the double lavender sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Gorgeous Grape card stock and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I cut three lavender leaf sprig dies from Lost Lagoon and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I stamped the lavender sprig bunch from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather ink on Basic White. I used the little flower stamp to stamp Gorgeous Grape ink over the Highland Heather sprigs and then cut it out with the lavender sprig bunch die.

I stamped the stems from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered the stems to the sprigs and popped them on the card front with dimensionals. I made a knot in a short length of burlap ribbon and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card front with there purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set in Highland Heather ink on Basic White. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal, lining it up so that it would be covered by the die cut when the card is closed.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender bundle more and more as I play with it. The flowers are pretty when stamped in a single color, but there are so many ways to get multiple colors and it’s so fun to experiment.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Card

Good Morning! I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle from the Annual Catalog to help showcase one of the pretty new Sale-A-Bration items – the Flight & Airy designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card’s design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Freshly Made Sketches 617 – A Sketch by Narelle:

I embossed a panel of Bubble Bath with the cross hatch design from the Basics Embossing Folders and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat. I used the second smallest square from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut three birds from the pretty Flight and Airy Sale-A-Bration designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats. I adhered the birds to the embossed panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the panel with glue dots.

I wrapped a length of white baker’s twine around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base and accented each bird panel with a white matte dot.

I kept the inside simple, adhering a strip of the pretty Flight and Airy DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set are perfect for expressions of friendship, caring, love and encouragement. And they can be used with lots of designs. The pretty Flight and Airy designer series paper can be used with many of these sentiments – and probably most other stamp sets as well!

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.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest with Medley Mix Winter Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest bundle is a sweet Tree themed set with stamps and dies for an evergreen forest. And it’s on the carry over list, so it will continue to be available after the catalog retires – Yay! I used the dies with some snowy A Walk in the Forest designer series paper and the pretty sentiment from the Medley Mix stamp set to make a simple winter theme Hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of A Walk in the Forest designer series paper to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with liquid glue. I adhered a strip of white ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and cut two Deckled Circles – one from Balmy Blue and one from Basic White. I embossed the Basic White circle with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the Balmy Blue circle.

I cut three trees from Basic White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest dies and adhered them to the die cut circles with glue dots. I adhered the circles to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Mixed Medley stamp set in Versamark ink on Balmy Blue and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I used a deckled rectangle to cut it out using a two step method and then used the die to cut a diagonal to mimic the white ribbon. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and adhered a white dot to the end.

I kept the inside of the card simple, just adhering a strip of A Walk in the Forest DSP to a Basic White panel and adhering the panel with Stampin’ Seal.

The white die cut trees give just enough contrast to the embossed snow background to be visible and it keeps the design clean and simple. I love that there are so many different tree sizes in the Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest dies and I didn’t even use the smallest tree.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of the new items from the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite in the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. The Suite has two bundles, the Painted Lavender Bundle and the Perennial Postage bundle and it’s perfect for purple lovers! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink on the bottom front of a Kraft note card. I cut two panels of Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender designer series paper with a rectangular die from the Perennial Postage dies and adhered them to the front of the card with liquid glue.

I cut a sprig from Lost Lagoon card stock using a die from the Painted Lavender dies and adhered it to the card front with dots of liquid glue.

I adhered a butterfly cut out with glue dots and adhered some Purple Fine Shimmer gems around the sprig.

For the inside of the card, I stamped a sprig from the Painted Lavender stamp set on the side of a Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card.

One of the colors in the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender DSP is Crumb Cake and the papers go so well with the cute Kraft Note cards. The note cards should be restocked next week and they are so cute. They come with Kraft envelopes and a cute (and sturdy) box for storage.

Here are the items in the new Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite. These will be available when the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog opens for ordering on Jan 4, 2024.

Item 162611 – Purple Fine Shimmer Gems & Item 162612 – Paper Butterfly Accents

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Christmas Thank You Cards

Good Morning! Since most of my Christmas cards are done and being sent out, it’s time to work on some thank you cards. I pulled out some Basic White note cards and envelopes and the pretty Thank You sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings cling stamp set. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I also used the pretty Perennial Postage dies (available Jan 4, 2024) from the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog to die cut leftover Christmas designer series paper. The dies are the perfect size for the note cards and a good way to finish off pretty DSP scraps. And it’s great that the note cards are still large enough to pop in the mail!

For the first card, I used the fourth smallest Perennial Postage rectangle die to cut two panels of Joyful specialty designer series paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on the front of a Basic White note card and adhered the die cut DSP with Stampin’ seal. I cut two holly leaves from gold foil using the Magical Meadow dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots and used red iridescent discs for the berries.

For the second card, I cut a panel of Winter Meadow designer series paper with the fourth smallest Perennial Postage rectangle die and adhered it to a rectangle Blueberry Bushel DSP panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a Basic White note card. I adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and found a leftover Garden Green die cut sprig from the Magical Meadow dies with white berries. I adhered the sprig to the card with glue dots and finished with a white baker’s twine bow.

For the last card, I cut several panels of Christmasy Garden Walk designer series paper with the smallest square and third smallest rectangle from the Perennial Postage dies and arranged them on a Basic White note card. I adhered them with Stampin’ Seal and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Garden Green ink.

I left the insides of the cards blank so I could keep it simple. The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set are so pretty and elegant, so they’re perfect for Christmas designs. And the note cards are great for making a quick batch of cards since they’re a great weight and come pre-cut and scored.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! I am such a wimp – one week of cold weather and I weary of winter and looking for warmer weather. So I pulled out some pretty meadow scenes in the Meandering Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and the sweet Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set to make some thinking of you cards with warmer landscapes and it cheered me up! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

These were really simple just using the pretty DSP and wonderful label dies for the sentiments. I adhered the DSP panel to a Garden Green Mat with liquid glue and popped it on a Balmy Blue card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadows stamp set in Garden Green ink on Balmy Blue and cut it out with the small rectangular die from the Something Fancy Dies. I used the middle sized rectangular die to cut a mat and adhered the labels together.

I adhered a length of Balmy Blue and white ribbon to the card front with glue dots and adhered the label on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with coordinating colors from the pretty Glossy Dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the basket and shadow from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends and adhered a strip of DSP to the side. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Pretty designer series paper makes it so easy to create simple handmade cards for any occasion and the Meandering Meadow DSP is a perfect pick me up for cold, dreary winter days. And the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set has so many simple pretty designs that you can use to make the inside of the card special.

Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We had a few snow flurries (luckily no accumulation) the day before yesterday and the timing was perfect for today’s card. I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set to make this snow filled DSP 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 theme challenge this week:

I used Blending Brushes to apply Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia ink to a Basic White panel. Then I used the snowflake mask from the Abundant Beauty masks and another blending brush to lightly apply some pool party ink to the panel. Then I stamped the pretty snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes using Balmy Blue ink around the panel. Finally, I embossed the stamped panel with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I adhered the stamped and embossed panel to a Balmy Blue mat and adhered it to a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the label die from the Autumn Leaves dies. I folded a length of white iridescent ribbon and secured it to the back with glue dots and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I cut the two large snowflakes from the Chic dies from Basic White and brushed som white Pearlized Enamel Effects over the front. After it dried (I waited about 15 minutes) I adhered them together with glue dots and popped them on the card with bits of dimensionals. It’s hard to see in the pictures, but the shimmer is pretty! I put a white sequin in the middle and scattered a bunch more around the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel. I made a 1/2″ strip of Basic White paper to match the design on the card front (It would have been easier to just make a larger panel and cut off 1/2″ from the bottom) and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The snowflakes in the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set are so beautiful and detailed! The sentiments are gorgeous too, and the set is on the Carry Over list, so Yay!

Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow Fall Note Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set has pretty foliage and sentiments, and while the coordinating designer series paper (Winter Meadow) has a decidedly winter feel, the foliage is also great for fall. So I checked into the Color Coach and found the combination of Calypso Coral, Wild Wheat and Mossy Meadow and decided to make a Fall card in this palette. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set in Wild Wheat, Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow on a Very Vanilla Panel. I used Wild Wheat on the berry sprig, Mossy Meadow on the long skinny leaf branch and Calypso Coral on the sprig with the long leaves.

I stamped the arrangement first with the colors full strength and then filled in with stamped off images. I stamped mostly on the bottom left corner and a little bit in the top right corner. I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Mossy Meadow in the empty center area.

I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and wrapped it with the pretty Natural Wavy trim and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals and finished added a Calypso Coral iridescent gem next to the sentiment.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the foliage from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set in the same colors as the front, except that I only used stamped off inks. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This is simple card using just stamped images from the Stampin’ Up! Magical Meadow stamp set. The Color Coach I found my palette in can be found HERE. This was the perfect aid to figuring out how to use the stamp set for Fall, because I’m not ready for winter yet!
