Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today’s Thank You card was inspired by the pretty box on page 52 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle. But I wanted to use the new Peaceful Garden designer series paper and make a layered card. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Cut and adhere panels of Peaceful Garden designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the pretty wildflowers from Basic White and Cloud Cover card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies and adhered them to the card using glue dots. Stamp the flower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. Adhere the stamped flower to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of Cloud Cover ribbon in half and adhere it to the card with glue dots.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight. Sprinkle it with white embossing powder and heat set. Cut it out with the small short Textured Notes die and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Misty Moonlight flowers.

For the inside panel, stamp the wildflower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love that the stamped and die cut flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs and Gallery Blooms stamp sets are similar to the flowers in the Peaceful Garden DSP. I wonder if I should have put mats behind the smaller DSP panels. What do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes Thank You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve got another super simple thank you card today made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. 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:

Use the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and Pecan Pie ink to stamp on a the plain side of a panel of Gathering Together specialty DSP. Stamp the image twice, making a double outward spiral design.

Adhere the stamped panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with liquid glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

Wrap a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and make a bow. Finish the card with Antique Pearls.

For the inside, stamp the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on a strip of DSP using Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is a wonderful bundle and I feel guilty not using the great rectangular dies. But the images and sentiments are great too, especially for this time of year.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Thanks For Being You Card

Good Morning! The Floral Charm designer series paper is so pretty with florals in lush Fall colors and complimenting designs. I picked a couple of patterns to use with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle to make a simple card to express gratitude and friendship. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Pretty Peacock leafy panel of Floral Charm designer series paper to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue. Cut a floral panel of the DSP into three strips and adhere them to a Fresh Freesia mat. Adhere the mat to the card front with dimensionals.

Cut the top part of the leafy sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day dies from Pretty Peacock and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of ribbon and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Seal. I used a retired Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon for a touch of glamour, but you could also use the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends to color a white ribbon and use that instead.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set on a Fresh Freesia panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Cut it out using the small oval label die from the pretty Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside panel, stamp the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set in the corner of a Basic White panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink towards the bottom, leaving room for a DSP trim. Adhere it to the inside of the card.

I can’t decide which of the florals in the Floral Charm designer series paper pack are my favorite, but a simple card design like this is a good way to show off pretty papers. Cutting the floral pattern in thirds adds a little extra interest to the card design without too much complication.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Good Morning! Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set used with the pretty Splendid Autumn and Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series papers and the Perennial Postage and Label Me Grateful Dies. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Use the second largest Perennial Postage die to cut a Pecan Pie panel and adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn designer series paper to the front. Adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals.

Use the dies from the Label Me Grateful dies to cut Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry card stock. Fold a length of the fun Irregular Weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Adhere the die cut leaves and acorns to the card with glue dots on top of the ribbon.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cajun Craze and cut it out with the Perennial Postage die. Pop the label on the card using dimensionals.

For the inside panel, trim the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. Cut another Crushed Curry leaf cluster from Crushed Curry and adhere it to the panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Falling leaves with plaids are perfect for Fall and it’s great to be able to combine designer series papers, stamps and dies from different sets to make cards! Give it a try.

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Many Thanks for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Fall is here and I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle along with the Gather Together specialty designer series paper to make a Thanksgiving card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

Adhere a strip of Basic Beige Gather Together specialty designer series paper to the dark side of a two-tone Early Espresso mat and adhere it to a Cajun Craze panel of the DSP. Adhere it to another dark Early Espresso mat before adhering it to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. The two-tone card stock is a little thinner than regular card stock so you get the pretty effects of the layered card front without extra bulk, making it great for mailing.

Stamp the leaf and berry clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Basic Beige inks and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I stamped and cut two of each. I also used the Early Espresso watercolor pencil to draw the veins on the Basic Beige leaves to get more contrast. Adhere the leaves and berries together with liquid glue making little clusters and use glue dots to adhere the clusters to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set on Basic Beige using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the pretty Traditional Labels die. Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals and finish with a loopy Early Espresso linen thread bow and Cajun Craze dots.

For the inside, I kept it simple by adhering a strip of DSP to the side of a Basic White panel and adhered it to an Early Espresso two-tone mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is a wonderful leaf set that is great for making Fall cards. And of course I love the Gather Together specialty DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful Card

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle from this week’s Online Exclusives release that will be available on Wednesday, September 3. And I’ve used it along with more of the pretty Gather Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with the currently available supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere the Cajun Craze panel of Gather Together specialty DSP to the bottom of a Crushed Curry mat and adhere the leafy pattern to the top of the panel. Wrap the seam with the cute Irregular Weave ribbon (available Sept 3) and secure it in the back. Pop the Panel on an Old Olive card base with dimensionals.

Use the Textured Notes rectangle die to cut a Cajun Craze panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle using Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel and adhere it to the die cut rectangle. Adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the leaves and acorn from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso inks. Cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhere the leaves to the card with glue dots. Make a loopy bow using Early Espresso linen thread (available Sept 3) and adhere it to the back of the acorn with a glue dot. Adhere the acorn to the card with dimensionals and finish with Cajun Craze dots (available Sept 3)

For the inside panel, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the leaf underneath in Cajun Craze and trim the bottom with DSP. Adhere the panel to a Crushed Curry mat before adhering to the inside of the card.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle. I love the pretty sentiments and the color variation you can get with Distinktive stamps.

And here’s the beautiful Gathering Together specialty DSP.

The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is part of the upcoming Gathering Together Suite that will be available on Sept 3 and I love how the stamps go so well with the pretty Fall DSP. The fun new ribbon gives a nice contrast to the border details on the Textured Notes die cut rectangle and nicely frames the die cut leaves and stamped sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments bundle is a new Fall bundle from the upcoming Online Exclusives release that will be available on September 3 (that’s next week! YAY!!!). It will be perfect for Thanksgiving or any special Fall occasion or thank you cards. You can find the card stock cuts along with the currently available supplies at the bottom of my post.

Pop it on the front of a Cajun Craze card base with dimensionals.

Stamp the acorn and leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Early Espresso and Crushed Curry inks on Basic Beige and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thank You Card

Good Morning! I was feeling very geometric, so I pulled out the Boho Vibes 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and paired it with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom bundle to make a quick Thank You card. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a panel of the striped Boho Vibes 6″ x 6″ DSP to a Cajun Craze mat and adhered the layered DSP to a Thick Basic White card base. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom stamp set on the card front using Secret Sea ink.

Cut five flowers using the small flower die (use both dies) from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies from Cloud Cover card stock. Adhere the flowers to the DSP in a line with glue dots. Add large Darling Duckling Dots to the center of each flower. Wrap Darling Duckling ribbon around the card front and tie a knot. That’s it!

For the inside panel, adhere DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhere it to a Cajun Craze mat. Adhere the layered panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue.

The geometric look is not for everyone, but it is dramatic. The simple die cut flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom dies have enough personality to keep it from being too simplistic and boring. What do you think?
