Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Gratitude Card

Good Morning! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle for a thank you card today and featured the beautiful Earthen Elegance designer series paper for my vase. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Crumb Cake panel with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base. I adhered a panel of Earthen Textures designer series paper to a Copper Clay mat and adhered it to the card. I made a fishtail banner from a Pretty Peacock strip of the DSP and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the ‘X’ motif die from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures dies from Pebbled Path card stock and adhered it to the card.

I stamped the wheat from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the palm branch die from Old Olive and two of the stick bundle dies from Copper Clay. I cut the medium vase from a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP – I love how this looks like a real pottery vase! I adhered a stick bundle, the wheat and the palm branch to the card with liquid glue and popped the vase over it with dimensionals.

I adhered the second bundle of sticks over the bottom of the vase with liquid glue and skinny cut up dimensionals. I adhered a length of Natural Wavy trim with glue dots and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP. I trimmed the label with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I finished the card with Copper Clay In Color dots to add some shine.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the wheat from the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on the sides of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP. I adhered the panel to a Copper Clay mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures bundle! You can make so many natural arrangements that are full of rich texture! And it gets even better when combined with the Earthen Elegance DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Thank You Card

Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set with the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Thank You card. I love how the flowers in the stamp set are so similar to the flowers in the DSP and that’s what I tried to feature in this 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 floral Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the right side of of a Lost Lagoon mat and a small print pattern of the DSP to the left side. I adhered a strip of Lost Lagoon to cover the seam and wrapped a length of linen thread around it and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Basic White panel and used sponge daubers to apply ink to the large floral stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set. I used Calypso Coral on the large flower, Petal Pink on the small one and Lost Lagoon on the stems and leaves. I stamped the image on the die cut circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink next to the flower and stamped the stars in stamped off Pool Party. Actually, I think these may be seed pods like dandelions or milkweed – what do you think? I added iridescent pastel gems before adhering the circle to the card front with dimensionals..

For the inside of the card, I stamped the stars (or seed pods) from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in stamped off Pool Party ink on the side of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the images and sentiments in the pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set. I was worried about using different colors of ink on a single stamp and I didn’t have my markers, so I’m glad that this came out so well by using sponge daubers. But I think there’s enough space between the flowers and stems, so it works out pretty well. And I like the image stamped in a single color too!

Join me for a Facebook Live This Afternoon!

I’ll be going live on my Facebook Business Page this afternoon to show a sneak peek of a pretty new bundle from the upcoming September – December 2023 Mini Catalog – the Translucent Florals bundle. I hope you can join me at 1:00 ET today!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements with Paper Florist Card

Good Morning! I finally pulled out my Paper Florist dies and used them with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set to make a simple card thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White strip. I embossed the strip with the Stripes 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base.

I cut 4 of the four petal flower dies from Balmy Blue card stock, giving me 8 large petal clusters and 8 small petal cluster. I cut centers for the flowers from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered them with liquid glue. See the picture below for the dies I used.

I made each flower by using 4 of the same size petal clusters. I adhered each layer with a small dot of liquid glue and rotated it to offset the petals. Last, I adhered the flower center with a dot of liquid glue.

I used a large flower and two small flowers for today’s card and I saved the extra die cuts for a future project. I adhered each flower with glue dots. I didn’t use any dimensionals on the card, but the layers of flower petals gives the card texture and dimension, so I didn’t even add extra embellishments!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Balmy Blue on Basic White. I stamped the leaf sprig in Granny Apple Green and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Paper Florist dies are so much fun to play with because you use any kind of paper and any color. There are co many different petals, leaves and centers to play and experiment with and the possibilities are endless. I chose to start simple and was thinking about Forget-Me-Nots, but I chose the wrong petal shape. Even so, the flowers still came out beautiful and the simple arrangement with the pretty DSP worked out pretty well. And of course the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set worked out perfect!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Thank You Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is a great little flora bundle with wonderful sentiments to express gratitude and love. It has the sweetest label dies and is perfectly designed to surround a sentiment label with a spray of flowers and greenery. I paired the bundle with a dainty floral print from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper pack for a simple Thank You card for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to an Old Olive mat and cut a circle from polka dot vellum with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the vellum to the panel with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements photopolymer stamp set in Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut it out with the smallest label die.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I colored it with light Bubble Bath and light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the back of the label with a glue dot.

I cut the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements dies from Old Olive and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I adhered a bow made with the Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon to the panel with a glue dot and adhered the layered label on top with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the front of a Bubble Bath card base and finished it with three tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the circles in Bubble Bath ink around the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is perfect for making beautifully framed sentiments, but it’s also great for a simple embellishment to make a sentiment extra special.

Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart Mother’s Day Card and Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Mother’s Day is a couple of weeks away so I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart cling stamp set to make a Mother’s day card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. I used it with the new Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and you can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of striped Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the side of a lighter patterned panel of the DSP and adhered them both to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. Azure Afternoon is one of the new core colors that is coming with the color refresh tomorrow!

I stamped the scene from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink (one of the new 20223-2025 In Colors) and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Bubble Bath, light Petal Pink, light Pecan Pie, light Wild Wheat on the Mom and light Lemon Lime Twist, light Pecan Pie, light Smoky Slate and light Petal Pink on the child. I used a blending brush and mask to apply Azure Afternoon ink to the sky and used light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend on the ground. I cut it out with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Welcoming Windows photopolymer stamp set in the sky and adhered it to an Azure Afternoon mat. I adhered a Lemon Lime Twist bow to the back with a glue dot and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with pink Loose Frosted Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel and trimmed the side with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

So many of the inks, blends and card stocks I used are new colors that will be available on Tuesday when the new catalog launches. The new colors are also used in the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP, and along with the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places In The Heart stamp set they make for a colorful, bright and beautiful Mother’s day card.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park Thank You Card and Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is a wonderful photopolymer stamp set with gorgeous floral dies for making fancy labels. It’s full of sentiments for all occasions and some pretty florals that coordinate with the beautiful Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I used the bundle to make a simple gate fold thank you card during my Facebook Live yesterday and you can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered plain panels of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the back of floral panels to use as contrasting mats and adhered the panels to each side of the front of a gate fold card base.

I cut the layered label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on the smaller one and slipped it into the larger floral label die cut. I love how the layered panels give the look of a double stitched edge!

I cut the small solid and outline flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Night of Navy card stock and Mango Melody Regency Park DSP and adhered them to the label. For the outline flowers, I applied adhesive sheets to the back of the DSP before die cutting and removed the backing from the die cut flowers before adhering them. I decorated the flower centers with rhinestones and adhered the label to the left side of the gate fold card front, being careful to apply adhesive to only one side of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the centers and adhered the panel to a Regency Park mat before adhering the panel to the inside of the card. Here’s the finished card with the samples I made for my video.

The layered label from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is gorgeous and pretty much all you need to make a beautiful card. Luckily the stamp set and dies are returning in the upcoming 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog, but the bundle discount will no longer be offered. And sadly, the Regency Park DSP will be retiring soon, so now is the time to pick it up before it’s gone for good.

New 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers bundle is a pretty floral stamp set with bold sentiments. It is on the January – April Mini Catalog retiring list and I paired it with retiring In Colors Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent for a thank you card using an emboss resist watercoloring technique. 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 Delicate Desert designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base. I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny.

I used a water painter to apply Soft Succulent ink to the leaves and Pale Papaya ink to the flowers. You’re not supposed to use Basic White for watercolor, but it didn’t turn out bad. It didn’t blend as smoothly as using watercolor paper or shimmery white paper, and I colored it quickly so it wouldn’t get too wet. I patted it with a paper towel to remove color from the embossing and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut three large detailed leaves from Delicate Desert DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Soft Succulent on Basic White and cut it out with the sentiment die. I wound some linen thread around the card front, adhering it with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flowers over the linen thread with dimensionals and tucked the leaves under the flower. I adhered the label with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card front with Soft Succulent Opal Rounds.

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom with Delicate Desert DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card. This leaves plenty of room for a personal message.

The white embossed outline for the flowers gives the flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Flowers stamp set a softer, more delicate look. The stamps come in both cling and photopolymer and the dies are discounted for the Last Chance Products sale.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Thanks with Tea Boutique

Good Morning! Here is a quick thank you card made with the retiring Stampin’ Up! Amazing Thanks dies and the pretty Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ 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 Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and wrapped it with Crumb Cake baker’s twine, making a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Crumb cake card base with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Thanks dies to cut the word and and backing from Sweet Sorbet and Basic White card stock and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

I finished the card front with two dragonfly trinkets, adhered with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, stamped the leaf cluster from the Kind and Sincere stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. This is another retiring stamp set that is great for thank you cards – I love all the sentiments in it! I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Crumb cake and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Tea Boutique DSP before adhering the panel to the inside of the card.

The gorgeous layered word die from the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Thanks dies is perfect for simple thank you cards. It goes with any designer series paper and it will be on sale beginning April 4, 2023.

Join Me For A Facebook Live This Afternoon!

I’ll be returning to Facebook this afternoon for a Live at 1:00 ET. I’ll be using the pretty Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and coordinating dies to make a card. Please join me on my Facebook Business Page.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Thank You Card

Good Morning! Last weekend I got together with some Stampin’ friends and made some Spring cards – it was so relaxing and fun! Here’s one of the cards we made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch bundle. This is the best set for making pansies, with a great photopolymer stamp set and dies. The stamp set has beautiful sentiments and stamps to make these beautiful spring flowers and the best dies to both cut out the stamped flowers and dies to create gorgeous flowers from card stock. I used the die cut flowers for today’s card and you can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I borrowed the card sketch from Heidi Collins and her snip and flip card – I love her idea of chopping off 1-1/2″ off your card base and flipping it for your sentiment! So I made my card base from Mango Melody, snipped the end and adhered a panel of floral Texture Chic specialty designer series paper to the front. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and adhered it to a panel of Distressed Gold specialty paper before adhering it to the snipped Mango Melody. I flipped the layered label and adhered the it to the card front with liquid glue.

I used the Pansy Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch bundle to cut card stock for my flower, bud and leaves. I cut the large bottom flower from Basic White and the edging from Mango Melody. I cut two top flower petals and large bud from So Saffron and the flower center, top petal edging and bud outer petal from Blackberry Bliss. I cut the bud stem and detailed leaves from Soft Succulent and the leaf bases from Evening evergreen. I assembled the flower by adhering the petal edgings to the petals with small dots of liquid glue and then adhering the top sections to the back of the bottom section. I finished it by adhering the center to the flower.

I assembled the bud by adhering the bud outer petal to the center petal with liquid glue and then adhering the stem on top. I assembled the leaves by adhering the detailed die cuts on the background with liquid glue. Then I laid out the pieces on the card before adhering the leaves and buds with glue dots and the flower with dimensionals. I made a bow with gold twine and adhered it with glue dots and finished the card with In color opal rounds – Polished Pink for the flower center and Pale Papaya for the label.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a panel of Texture Chic specialty DSP to the side of a Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. The DSP will show through to the front when the card is closed!

This week I’m planting pansies for my front yard, so I wanted to make a card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch bundle. It’s one of my all time favorites!
