Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The upcoming January-April Mini Catalog has so many pretty new bundles and one of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle. It is part of the Fancy Flora Suite that is pictured on the front of the catalog. I used many products in this suite for today’s card and they will all be available on January 5, 2023 when the catalog goes live. 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 is the pretty card sketch we are using this week:

I cut a panel of ombre Orchid Oasis Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the large background die from the Stampin’ Up Two-Tone Flora dies and adhered it to another panel of Fancy Flora DSP with dots of liquid glue. A few pieces are separated from the main panel and need to be adhered individually. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base.

I stamped the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots and made a loopy bow with Starry Sky metallic ribbon and adhered it on the leaf spray.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy cling stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink on Petal Pink card stock. I cut it out with the pretty label die from the Something Fancy dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Calypso Coral iridescent jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen in the corners of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I stamped the medium flower detail stamp in Orchid Oasis and stamped the solid flower over it in stamped off Orchid Oasis. I stamped the details of the small flower in Calypso Coral and the background in Petal Pink. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the corners of the panel. I trimmed the flowers and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Fancy Flora Suite is beautiful and I really love the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle! The two-step stamping flowers are fun to make and easy to do and they come out beautiful! I love that they all have coordinating dies and the beautiful floral background die is really gorgeus!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog with beautiful oval die cuts and photopolymer stamps with wonderful floral images and sentiments. The Fitting Florets designer series paper coordinates beautifully with this set, but it is only available while supplies last until the new mini catalog opens on January 5, 2023. I used these products to make this pretty floral thank you card for today. 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 Fitting Florets designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the large fancy oval frame die. I adhered both die cuts to the card with liquid glue.

I cut the small oval frame from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets dies from Balmy Blue and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I used the two flower outline die from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets die to cut two of the large Polished Pink flower clusters from the Fitting Florets DSP and Basic White. I love when dies coordinate with designer series paper! I adhered the DSP flowers to the Basic White flowers with liquid glue and adhered the flower clusters to the card front with dimensionals. I finished with three sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the two flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets stamp in stamped off Polished Pink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Fitted Florets DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets bundle is beautiful and goes so well with the Fitted Florets DSP. These products make it so easy to make beautiful cards and other projects!

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! Something Fancy Thank You Cards

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of some new products from the upcoming January – April Mini Catalog. I used the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle to make some cheery Thank You cards! I paired this bundle with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. These new products will be available on January 5, 2023. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I wanted to focus on the pretty patterns in the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. This is an item that you can get for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration starting January 5, 2023. It has 48 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double sided paper – 4 each of 12 designs. I only used 4 of the designs and paired them with coordinating cardstock and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink to keep it simple.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on card stock. I cut it out with the hexagon die from the bundle. I used the large tag and teardrop dies from the bundle to cut a panel of Dandy Designs Sale-A-Bration DSP and adhered the hexagon label to it with dimensionals. I used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder to emboss another card stock panel and adhered it to the front of a Basic White note card with liquid glue. I used liquid glue to adhere the tag to the card front and finished it with a bow made with a coordinating ribbon and a glossy dot. I left the inside of the card blank – the note cards are pretty substantial so the card doesn’t look flimsy, and it leaves plenty of room for a personal note. Plus the note cards come with perfectly sized envelopes!

Here is a picture of most of the new supplies I used. I love that new cane weave embossing folder, it’s another great subtle texture background! Here’s the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle.

There are sentiments for lots of occasions and I love the casual elegance of the new script font. The coordinating label dies are also perfect – there are so many sizes and shape options that are going to be great for layering! And they will be great with other sentiments in your stash as well!

Tag cards are always fun and this one is easy to put together. But it’s also full of texture with the embossed background, dimension and embellishments. The January – April 2023 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration start on January 5, 2023.

Note that while some of the bundles are on the retiring list, the individual stamps and dies/punches may be carried over. These items are marked with three asterisks on the retiring lists. Also, if one of the items in the bundle is deeply discounted, the total price may be less than the bundled price, so pull out your calculators to double check.

Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! One of the pretty new bundles in the upcoming mini catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay bundle. I used the bundle with the gorgeous By The Bay designer series paper to make a thank you card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. These items will be available on January 5, 2023 when the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of the new By The Bay specialty designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay cling stamp set using Starry Sky ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the largest Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I inked up the large clamshell die from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay dies in Versamark ink. The idea is to get the ink on just the raised circles so these will hold gold embossing powder. I had to practice a couple to times to get the right inking technique. If I press the die too hard on the ink pad, I get ink on the flat sections of the die, but if I press too lightly, I don’t get enough ink on the raised sections and it won’t hold the embossing powder. I feel that it’s better to err on the side of too much ink, because it just looks like the shell is a bit sandy. After you ink up the die, carefully put it on a panel of Sahara Sand card stock and cut it out (be careful not to move it once you place it on the card stock). Sprinkle gold embossing powder on the die cut, covering the debossed dots. Shake off the excess and heat the powder with a heat tool until it’s bright and shiny. Fold the clam shell on the score lines

I cut a Mint Macaron panel with two of the seagrass dies using the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay dies and adhered them to the label with glue dots. I adhered a folded length of Petal Party ribbon to the label with glue dots and adhered the folded die cut clam shell on top with dimensionals. I adhered one of the new iridescent flat pearls in the open clam shell and adhered some sea glass embellishments on the label.

When you open the clamshell, you see the pearl – how fun!

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of By The Bay specialty DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I cut panel of Mint Macaron with the small sea grass die and adhered it with a glue dot. I cut clam shells from Brushed Gold foil, Sahara Sand and Petal Pink and adhered them to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Seaside Bay bundle is a wonderful nautical set and will go well with other current and retired ocean themed sets. I can’t wait to play with the bird stamps next. Here are the stamp set and dies that make up the bundle:

And here is the By the Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. There are 48 sheets in the pack, four each of 12 double sided designs. And one side has either gold foil or iridescent gloss designs. It’s really beautiful!

Here are all the products in the By The Bay suite, including the ribbon and flat iridescent pearls. All of these products will be available on January 5, 2023 when the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog opens for ordering.

If you’re a current customer of mine, you will receive your copy of the new catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure next month. If you would like a catalog, place an order in my Online Store, and I’ll be happy to send them to you.

Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle for an autumn wishes card, coloring the pretty floral fie cuts with Stampin’ Blends. 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 and sketch we are using:

I adhered a panel of the new Fitted Florets designer series paper to the front of a Soft Succulent card base. I used the largest stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a panel of Rustic Harvest designer series paper and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I partially stamped the two ends of the large bouquet stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn photopolymer stamp set on two panels of Basic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut them out with the coordinating die that makes 4 separate die cuts. I colored pieces with Stampin’ Blends, using Dark So Saffron for the flower centers, light Soft Suede for the flower leaves, light Soft Succulent for the rounded leaves, Rich Razzleberry for the flowers, light Real Red for the berries and light Daffodil Delight for the berry leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Rich Razzleberry and cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I adhered the die cut berries to the card with glue dots and the flowers with dimensionals. I finished the card front with a Soft Succulent bow and opal gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the single flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends like the flowers on the card front. I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of Fitted Florets DSP and adhered the flower on top with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn bundle is really pretty and with wonderful floral images that are fun to color. It also comes with great fall sentiments and fun dies.

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Thank You Card

Good Morning! Today, I combined the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty cling stamp set and beautiful Awash in Beauty designer series paper with the Amazing Thanks dies for a quick and easy thank 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 pannel of Merry Merlot card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Merry Merlot card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of Awash in Beauty designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow mat, wrapped it in Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I cut a Merry Merlot panel with the detailed ‘thanks’ word die from the Amazing Thanks dies and a Basic White panel with the background die. I adhered the die cut words together with dots of liquid glue and adhered it to the card front. I finished the card with an iridescent pearl.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty stamp set in Polished Pink on a Basic White panel. I covered it with a mask and stamped the stem with leaves under the flower in Mossy Meadow. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Awash in Beauty DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

This pattern from the Awash in Beauty Stamp set has so many pretty floral images from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty stamp set, but at a different scale. There are also images that compliment the stamps and the color palette is gorgeous.

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! 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! Apple Harvest Thank You Card

Good Morning! One of the die sets that is available this month as part of the Perfect Partners promotion is the Apple Blossoms Dies and they coordinate with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest cling stamp set. I used the stamp set and dies to make this pretty thank you card because I went apple picking last weekend at my local orchard! It was so much fun and the weather was beautiful! But back to the card – you can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered the two small panels of the 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the card front and the small Sweet Sorbet panel with liquid glue. I adhered the large Sweet Sorbet DSP panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue. I used Tear & Tape adhesive to adhere the small layered panel to the front of the card, being careful not to tape the card shut. I cut a panel of Basic White with the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle die. I used a blending brush to apply a light wash of Pool Party ink across the front. I adhered the die cut to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the the apple branch and the single apple from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the apples in Sweet Sorbet and the leaves in Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I used Soft Suede for the stem and seeds and added touches of light So Saffron to the apple center and light Petal Pink to the flower centers. I cut the apples out with the coordinating dies from the Apple Blossom dies and adhered the single apple to the card front with liquid glue.

I adhered the second apple die cut to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set in Versamark ink on Sweet Sorbet 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 label die from the Tree Trimmings dies, another die set that is available as part of the Perfect Partners promotion this month. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered some light Tahitian Tide matte dots to the card around the flowers and leaves. I made a bow from Pool Party ribbon and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, used the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die to cut a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set in the corner in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to color the center and adhered the die cut rectangle to the inside of the card with liquid glue so that it is hidden under the front flap when the card is closed.

The Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest stamp set is such a pretty set and I love the wonderful dies that the Perfect Partners promotion brings!

Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums Thank You Card

Good Morning! I love geraniums and when I saw the Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums bundle in the annual catalog, I knew I wanted it. I finally pulled it out for today’s card, pairing it with the pretty Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love designer series paper and I hope you like it as much as I do! 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 Rings of Love designer series paper to the front of a Crumb cake card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue with the Pretty Posies 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Crumb Cake mat.

I wanted to make my flowers Poppy Parade and my stems Old Olive, but I wanted different shades of each color. So I decided to try something different – I colored a Basic White panel with Stampin’ Blends, making blotches large enough to get my die cuts as pictured above. This gave me a mottled texture look in different shades of the colors I wanted.

After coloring my blotches, I cut the background flower die from the light Poppy Parade blotch and the detailed flower die from the dark Poppy Parade blotch. I cut the large stem from the dark Old Olive blotch and the background leaves from the light Old Olive blotch. I adhered the die cuts together with dots of liquid glue and adhered the stems to the embossed panel with liquid glue.

I wrapped a length of white Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the flowers with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums stamp set in Soft Suede on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the small Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered it to the panel with dimensionals and adhered the embossed panel to the card front with dimensionals. I finished it with brass butterflies.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower label pick from the Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums in Crumb Cake in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped a dirt mound in Soft Suede and the sentiment in Poppy Parade. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Rings of Love DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I plant geraniums by my mailbox every spring and they do well whether or not we get much rain. And I always plant the traditional red-orange ones, that’s why I had to use Poppy Parade for today’s card. They bring a cheerful and colorful welcome to my driveway! If you also like geraniums, you have to check out the Stampin’ Up! Potted Geraniums bundle!

Sale-A-Bration is Going on Now!

The Rings of Love DSP that I used in today’s card is fabulous! And you can get it for free with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration while supplies last!
