Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set for a layered Fall Hello card today. 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 and we’re making Fall projects!
I embossed a Sahara Sand panel with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat before adhering it to the front of a Mint Macaron card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Cajun Craze Rustic Harvest DSP to an Early Espresso mat and then adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.
I stamped the pretty leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Crushed Curry ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment over the leaf in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the 2nd largest stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut another circle from Early Espresso using the 2nd largest circle die from the Layering Circles dies and adhered them together with liquid glue – the Layering Circle die makes the perfect mat!
I adhered a folded length of Natural Woven ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the layered circle over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished off the card with three amber faceted gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped parts of the large leaf with seeds from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp in Crushed Curry in the corners of a Very Vanilla panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
My maple trees haven’t started turning yet, but this stamp set captures them perfectly. And the sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set are wonderful and written with a beautiful font. They’re one of my favorites.

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I have a simple card made with the Nature’s Prints bundle and Sun Prints designer series paper. And I really made it special by adding the beautiful die cut from the Artistic dies. It’s not really a fall theme card, but I hope you like it. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I embossed a beautiful panel of Sun Prints designer series paper with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Night of Navy card base.
I cut a panel of white glimmer paper with the beautiful floral die from the Artistic dies and adhered it to the card front with tiny dots of liquid glue. It’s too bad you can’t see the sparkle from the glimmer paper, because it pops the white flowers in the DSP even more than normal!
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints cling stamp set in Versamark ink on Night of Navy. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny and then cut the sentiment out with the pretty label die. I accented the label with an iridescent pearl and adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I love the shiny embossed sentiment with the glimmer die cut!
For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set in Night of Navy ink and stamped it off 3 times. I stamped the flower in the corner of a Basic White panel. I embossed a strip of Sun Prints DSP with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The pretty floral die from the Artistic dies goes beautiful with the elegant Sun Prints DSP! And I love it with the sentiment and label die from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints bundle.

Good Morning! Here’s a Fall Note Card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle and the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. 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 the pretty Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Basic Black card base with liquid glue. I cut a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and used a Blending Brush to color it with Crushed Curry ink.
I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat and wrapped it twice with linen thread, making a bow on the side. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crushed Curry. I stamped the frame around the letter and punched them out with the Best Label punch. I made each letter one at a time and then adhered them to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.
I kept the inside of the card simple so there’s plenty of room to write a note. I colored a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP with a Blending Brush and Crushed Curry ink and adhered it to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Crushed Curry mat and then adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The pretty Rustic Harvest DSP is perfect for this time of year and the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle makes a perfect sentiment. This bundle is so versatile, it’s become one of my favorites!

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Autumn Hello card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle and the Rustic Harvest designer series paper. 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 the pretty Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest designer series paper to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base. I used a sponge dauber to color the leaves on another strip in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry inks and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the oak leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie. I cut out the leaves with the coordinating die and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I made a loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it to the card with a glue dot.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little squiggle under the sentiment and cut it out with the third largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with an Amber faceted gem.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set along the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
The pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set are perfect for Fall greeting cards and the sentiments are wonderful as well. Especially paired with the pretty Rustic Harvest DSP.

Good Morning! Today I have another simple card made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous photopolymer stamp set. I paired it with the beautiful Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World designer series paper and the Tailor Made Tags dies for a hello 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 Daffodil Delight striped Wonderful World designer series paper to a floral pattern of the DSP and then adhered them both to the front of an Orchid Oasis card base.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous photopolymer stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink on an Orchid Oasis panel and cut it out with the second largest angled Tailor Made Tags die. I cut another panel of floral Wonderful World DSP with the same tag die and adhered it to the back of the sentiment tag.
I cut a length of white frayed ribbon and looped it through the tag holes. I wrapped it with a length of linen thread and made a bow before adhering the tags to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the tag with an iridescent pearl.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Blackberry Bliss on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Wonderful World DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
The Wonderful World designer series paper is available with a beautiful coordinating floral stamp set for free with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration. It’s beautiful and versatile, as you can see paired with the wonderful sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set. But Sale-A-Bration is almost over – it ends on Wednesday August 31! So hurry and get it before it’s gone!
Sale-A-Bration is Ending Soon!

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle with the Rustic Harvest designer series paper to make a Fall theme friendship 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 today:
I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a plaid panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper and adhered it to the side of a Mossy Meadow DSP panel with some of the circle overlapping the edge. I cut off the excess with my paper snips and adhered the layered Rustic Harvest panel to a Basic White mat. I adhered it to the front of a Cajun Craze card base.
I stamped sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on the Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes wide banner die and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I inked up the leaf stamp with Crumb Cake ink and used a sponge dauber to add some Cajun Craze ink spots before stamping it on Basic White. I did this twice and cut the leaves out with the coordinating die. I adhered the leaves to the card front with glue dots.
I cut a Cajun Craze panel of Rustic Harvest DSP with the pumpkin dies from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest bundle and sponged Cajun Craze ink on the edges. I adhered the die cuts together with dimensionals. I cut the stem out out of a Mossy Meadow panel of Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered it to the top with liquid glue. I cut the pumpkin vine tendrils from the Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP and adhered them to the pumpkin with liquid glue. I adhered the pumpkin to the card front with dimensionals and added a linen thread bow and three Amber Rhinestones to finish the card front.
For the inside of the card, I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and sponged some Cajun Craze ink on it. I stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel and adhered a strip of Rustic Harvest DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Are you ready for Fall? My busy summer is winding down and the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest is the perfect bundle to be crafting with these days. With the pretty pumpkins and sweet sunflowers it’s the perfect set for fall inspiration!

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous photopolymer stamp set is just that – fabulous! It has the most wonderful sentiments that are so cheerful along with a bunch of solid graphic floral images. Remember the Lovely You stamp set (another of my favorites)? Well these solid florals would go nicely with those, especially because these are larger in scale. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I stamped one of the large daisy like flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Crushed Curry ink in the corners of a Crushed Curry card base. I stamped the flowers and leaves in a line across a Basic White panel. I turned the panel upside down and stamped the flowers and stems again, overlapping in the area under the label.
I stamped the round leaves in Garden Green, the large flowers in Calypso Coral, the flower sprigs in Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry and the small flowers in Real Red. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White strip.
I adhered the label to an Old Olive mat and adhered it to the stamped flowers and leaves panel, covering the overlapping stamped area. I adhered the panel to another Old Olive mat and popped it on the card base with dimensionals. I finished the card front with rhinestones.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set in the corners of the inside panel of the card base, mimicking the front of the card. I stamped the flowers and greenery in the corner of a Basic White panel, using the same color combination as the front of the card and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
This is a simple simple card with lots of colorful stamping, but the wonderful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Fabulous stamp set makes it so happy and cheerful. The stamps can be used in so many ways and the sentiments are already one of my favorites!

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle is a fun alphabet stamp set with a coordinating punch that lets you create one of a kind sentiments in a fun way. I paired it with the beautiful designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle for a bright and cheerful Hello 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 the pretty Wonderful World DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat and adhered it to another DSP panel. I adhered the panel to another Pear Pizzazz mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Polished Pink card base.
I stamped the letters from the Stampin’ Up! Alphabest photopolymer stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White. I stamped each letter one at a time and then punched it out with the Best Label punch. I lined up the bottom of the letter with the last notch in the punch and made sure it was centered right to left before punching.
I adhered the letters starting with the ‘o’ with liquid glue so I could wiggle them a little to keep the letters evenly spaced and straight. I finished the front with three iridescent pearls.
For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of the floral Wonderful World DSP to a Pear Pizzazz mat. I adhered the layered strip to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
This was really fun and it turned out to be fairly easy to line up the letters, even with my wonky vision! My goal was to line up the letters straight, but you can also use a design with letters on different angles. The Stampin’ Up! Alphabest bundle would also be great to make custom cards spelling out names. The stamp set also has numbers and backgrounds that fit the punch, so it’s very versatile.

World Card Making Day is all about making beautiful, heartfelt cards. During the event, Stampin’ Up! will walk you through several projects, and you can create the cards along with the presenters. You’ll end up with new project ideas and some stunning new cards!
To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle which you can get early from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog beginning September 1!! The bundles aren’t required to attend the event, but if you’d like to make the projects presented, you’ll want to get the bundles!

As an added bonus, when you order any of the three bundles used for the event, you’ll get a FREE gift of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels! (Note that even if you order all three bundles, you’ll only receive one Iridescent Pearls gift.)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about!
Stampin’ Up! created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog. Click on the picture below to open a flyer with all the details on the dies.
These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you will save 10% off the retail price.

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat bundle to make a Good Day note card. You can find the currently available 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 we are using:
I adhered a panel of Design a Daydream designer series paper to the front of a Mint Macaron card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake with the Fern 3D embossing folder.
I stamped the water from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat cling stamp set in Pool Party on a Basic White panel and used the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to color the grass. I applied Pear Pizzazz ink to the bottom and Pool Party ink to the top of the panel with Blending Brushes. I stamped the cattails and birds in Soft Suede. I adhered the panel to the embossed Crumb Cake panel and adhered the layered panels to the card front with liquid glue.
I cut the grass dies from the Heron dies and adhered all but two of the small grasses with liquid glue. I stamped the standing heron from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card front with pieces of dimensionals and adhered the last two grasses with dimensionals next to the bird. I stamped the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White and used the small label die to cut it out. I made a loopy bow from linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot before adhering it to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the label with a rustic metallic dot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the cattails and birds from the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Design a Daydream DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.
I love the way the stamped cattails and water look with the die cut grasses in the Stampin’ Up! Heron Habitat bundle. And the label dies in the set are so cute with the heart cutouts!

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings cling stamp set is wonderful because it has the most used card sentiments in the prettiest fonts and different sizes! I paired it with the beautiful designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle for a simple thinking of you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I embossed a Pear Pizzazz panel with the Pretty Flowers 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pear Pizzazz card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Melon Mambo Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World DSP to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.
I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch to punch out five small floral images from the Wonderful World designer series paper and selected four to use for the front. I punched out 4 postage stamps from Basic White and adhered the floral images to the front with liquid glue. I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark ink on Pear Pizzazz. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until shiny and cut it out with the long banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the banner to the card front with glue dots and finished it with a Fresh Freesia opal dot.
For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a Melon Mambo strip of Wonderful World DSP. I adhered the fifth punched flower to the lower corner and adhered it to the inside of the card.
The Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle is fabulous and the DSP designs are so versatile. I wouldn’t have thought I could make such a pretty card just by punching out pretty flower images! And the sweet sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set are the perfect compliment. But Sale-A-Bration beginning to wind down, so shop soon to make sure you get the items you want before they sell out!
