Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Thank You Card

Good Morning! I am back home in PA and trying to get back into the swing of things. So I kept it kind of simple for today’s card with the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set. This is a pretty floral stamp set with gorgeous sentiments and I did a lot of stamping!! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I started by randomly stamping the little bunch of flowers stamp in Pale Papaya ink all over a basic white panel. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base with liquid glue.

I inked up the medium flower from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and stamped it off once. Then I stamped it on a small Basic White Panel and stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink over the flower. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya with the Stitched So Sweetly die and adhered the stamped panel to the die cut scalloped rectangle with liquid glue.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya ribbon over some Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the label with three Basic Gray Matte dots.

I stamped the small bunch of flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in Pale Papaya ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

And then I even finished the envelope by stamping the medium flower from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in the bottom corner in Pale Papaya ink! I love the shading that you get with the Distinktive stamps in this set. It gives dimension and texture to your stamping, even without using different ink colors. And it’s quick and easy!

Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today I am sharing a simple card made with a couple of the wonderful FREE Sale-A-Bration items – the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments stamp set and the pretty Daffodil Afternoon 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 Daffodil Afternoon designer series paper to a Flirty Flamingo mat and then wrapped the layered panel with Flirty Flamingo and gold ribbon. I secured it in the back with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered panel to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen on a Crushed Curry panel. I cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals over the ribbon – make sure the dimensionals adhere to the DSP as well as the ribbon to keep it secure. I finished the card front with three iridescent jewels.

I kept the inside card simple, by just adhering a strip of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to the bottom of a Very Vanilla Panel and adhering the panel to the inside of the card. This leaves plenty of room to write a personal message!

Pretty DSP is wonderful for making simple cards! Adding a few shiny embellishments such as ribbon or jewels really steps it up. And the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments stamp set is full of wonderful sentiments that are great for many different occasions with so many different and beautiful fonts. It’s already one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration items!

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home bundle is one of the prettiest floral sets in the new Jan-Jun Mini Catalog with vintage dainty florals and coordinating dies. I used the bundle with the beautiful Heart & Home designer series paper, the Scalloped Contours dies and the sweet little thank you sentiment and tag from the Hydrangea Haven bundle. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a panel of Garden Green Heart & Home designer series paper with the large scalloped border die from the Scalloped Contours dies and adhered it to another panel of Heart & Home designer series paper. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Pale Papaya card base.

I stamped the small floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a panel of Shimmery White card stock. I colored the image with my water painters and Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider, and Fresh Freesia inks. I was careful not let the water painters get too moist since I was not using Stazon ink. After the inks dried, I cut the flower out with the coordinating die. I cut a Basic White panel with the Scalloped Contours die and used a blending brush to apply some Pool Party ink to the background. I cut two of the Flowers of Home dies from Fresh Freesia and adhered them to the panel with liquid glue and popped the watercolored bouquet on top with dimensionals.

I popped the art piece on the front of the card with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Versamark ink on a Garden Green panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut it out with the tag die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I added a white baker’s twine bow and finished the card front with Genial Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Heart & Home DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Home bundle! It has a vintage, shabby chic feel that is pretty, sweet and feminine!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a festive Holiday Thank You card made with the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked stamp set and Sweet Stockings designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a sketch this week – here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I adhered a strip of Sweet Stockings designer series paper to the front of a Cherry Cobbler card base.

I cut another panel with the Stitched Rectangles dies and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat. I adhered the panel to the front of the card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically inked cling stamp set in Early Evergreen ink on an Old Olive panel. I cut it out with another Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to an Evening Evergreen mat. I adhered the label to the card front and accented it with Evening Evergreen Matte Decorative dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Handsomely Suited cling stamp set in Evening Evergreen on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Sweet Stockings DSP to the side and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked stamp set are really pretty and pair nicely with holiday designer series paper for a quick thank you or note card that is festive.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Thank You Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!! And welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! For today card, I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest cling stamp set to make a Thank You card. I paired it with the Harvest Meadows designer series paper and Meadow dies for a simple, fun take on our sketch challenge. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

And we have a sketch challenge this week. Here’s the pretty sketch we are using:

I cut 1″ off the side of the front of a Crumb Cake card base and embossed it with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the right side of the inside of the card with liquid glue.

I cut a Basic White panel with the scalloped border die from the Penned Flowers dies and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadows designer series paper to the front so that the stitching and scallop border showed behind it. I cut another Basic White panel with the flower from the Meadows dies and adhered it to the front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest cling stamp set using Early Espresso ink on a Crumb Cake panel and cut it out with the smallest Scalloped Contours dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and added a clear epoxy diamond to the label. I finished the card by wrapping the fold with a length of Crumb Cake baker’s twine and tying a bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little wildflowers from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card.

I love the simple branches on this DSP and wanted to use today’s card to say thanks to all my blog friends. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday – Be safe and enjoy!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest is one of my favorites from the current July – December Mini Catalog, so I was happy to use it for another fall Thank You card. And I decided to combine it with the quaint Harvest Meadow and rustic In Good Taste designer series papers for a sweet country look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

My card was inspired by the Nature’s Beauty Color Challenge at Sunday Stamps SSC269:

I adhered a panel of Harvest Meadows designer series paper to a Misty Moonlight mat and popped it on the front of a Gray Granite Card base with dimensionals. I cut a stitched rectangle using the rustic wood grain In Good Taste designer series paper, adhered it to a Basic Black mat and then adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the pretty coneflowers from the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider and Soft Suede. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Old Olive and cut it out with the small label die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I made a triple loopy bow with Linen thread and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the card front with champagne rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the coneflower stamp with Gray Granite ink and stamped off twice before stamping the image on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with the Harvest Meadow DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The beautiful coneflowers from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set are really fun to color and they always come out beautiful! Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals bundle is one of the prettiest floral stamp sets in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, especially paired with the Hand Penned designer series paper. But with the cooler weather coming on, I was hesitant to play with it, thinking it was too Springy. Then I realized that the paper with the Cinnamon Cider flowers really had an Autumn feel, so I decided to try making a Fall Thank You card with this pretty set. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

My card was also inspired by the great sketch in Inspire.Create.Challenge #102:

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I adhered a panel of the Cinnamon Cider Hand Penned designer series paper to a Basic Black mat with liquid glue and then adhered the layered panel to the front of a Cinnamon Cider card base. I cut a circle from Basic White with the largest Layering Circles die and a scalloped circle from Cinnamon cider using the largest scalloped circle die. I adhered these together and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends – dark Daffodil Delight, light Balmy Blue, dark Mint Macaron and I blended light Pumpkin Pie and light Cinnamon Cider on the large flower. I cut out the flower with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I punched the end of the Cinnamon Cider label with the Banners Pick A Punch and stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card front with champagne rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower stems from the Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower head in Cinnamon Cider after stamping off twice and the leaves in Mint Macaron after stamping off once. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Hand Penned DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I It’s nice to have floral Thank You cards for fall and the Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals makes the prettiest!

Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Thank You Card

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden bundle that will be available on November 2. I paired it with the pretty sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set for a Thank You 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 panel of Ever Eden specialty designer series paper to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Versamark ink on an Evening Evergreen panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool until shiny and cut it out with the large fancy label die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

I cut a Soft succulent panel with the small berry sprig frame die from the Eden dies that are in the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden bundle and adhered it to the label die cut with liquid glue.

I adhered gold foil leaf and berry sprigs from the Expressions in ink Ephemera pack to the card front with liquid glue and popped the label on top with dimensionals. I finished the label with three Evening Evergreen In Color jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the leaf sprigs and the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden stamp set in Soft Succulent ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Ever Eden DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

A simple thank you card showing off the pretty Ever Eden specialty designer series paper and the Eden dies. They go so well with other stamps in your stash!

Here are the stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods Thank You Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods photopolymer stamp set? I finally got a chance to play with it this week and I love it!! I have seen several cards with a beautiful sunset and I wanted to make one and I am so happy with how it came out and how easy it was to do! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I was inspired by the As You See It Challenge #260 – Perpendicular for my card design:

I started by using Blending Brushes to apply So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze inks on a Basic White panel, blending them darker towards the bottom of the panel. Then I blended Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Misty Moonlight to create the sky. This was so pretty and so easy! I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set twice across the panel in Soft Suede to create the woods and cut it out with the third largest Stitched Rectangles die.

I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set in Pumpkin Pie and stamped the ground in Evening Evergreen. Note that I masked the tree from the second stamping each time so the ground would be behind the trees. I adhered the panel to a Sahara Sand mat. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on a Sahara Sand strip and adhered it to a strip of Sahara Sand Tidings of Christmas DSP. I finished the panel with a small Cajun Craze leaf die cut from the Intricate Leaves dies and a Linen Thread bow.

I embossed a Soft Suede panel with the Bark 3D embossing folder and adhered a strip of Tidings of Christmas DSP to the side with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the front of a Sahara Sand card base with liquid glue and adhered the art panel on top with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the last tree from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set in Soft Suede on the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped some Pumpkin Pie leaves by the tree and in the top corner and adhered another strip of Christmas Tidings DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I drove on some of the country roads by my house this morning and saw so many of the trees starting to change color, so the pretty Fall Foliage is on it’s way! The Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set perfectly captures that look and feel. And this stamp set has some of the most beautiful sentiments!

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I have a Fall Thank You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer cling stamp set and the Sale A Bration Summer Shadows dies. I paired it with the beautiful Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper for a rich Fall look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

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

I adhered a strip of the wood grain In Good Taste designer series paper to the side of a Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper and adhered them to a Cinnamon Cider mat. I adhered a gold foil cutout from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack to top seam and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base.

I used the Sale A Bration Summer Shadows dies to cut out the flowers and leaves. This is a pretty set of dies that coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set and is available for free with a $100 purchase before shipping and taxes. I cut two of the large flowers, one of the small flowers and three sets of leaves. I cut the solid flowers from Polished Pink, the detailed flowers from Rich Razzleberry and the leaves from Cinnamon Cider. I adhered the detailed die cuts to the solid die cuts with liquid glue to make the pretty layered die cuts.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set in Versamark ink in the lower corner of an Early Espresso panel and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the embossing powder with my heat tool until shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the Tasteful Labels die and adhered it to the card. I arranged the die cuts and adhered the leaves and small flower with glue dots and the large flowers with dimensionals. I accented the center of the large flowers with shimmery Opal Rounds and the label with gold metallic pearls. I finished the arrangement with a gold trim bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set in Cinnamon Cider on a Basic White panel. I stamped the berry sprig next to the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Blackberry Beauty specialty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper is such a contrast of gold elegance with rustic themes, an I thought I would add to that by trimming it with wood grain. I love the Summer Shadows die cut flowers and the gold embossed sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer stamp set is the perfect finishing touch.
