Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another super simple card made with the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set and the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper where the pretty DSP does all of the work. 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 I let the Beautiful Gallery DSP panel meet the requirements:

Adhere a panel of the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Crumb Cake mat and wrap it three times with Crumb Cake baker’s twine, tying a knot. Pop the panel on the front of a Misty Moonlight card base using dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Secret Sea ink on a Basic Beige panel. Cut it out using the long skinny label die from the Textured Notes dies, using the two step method. Adhere the label to the card using dimensionals, carefully placing the dimensionals over the twine so that it sticks securely. Finish with three antique pearls.

For the inside, stamp the flourish from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set on a Basic White panel using stamped off Crumb Cake ink. Trim the bottom with DSP and adhere it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The landscape images in the Beautiful Gallery DSP are so serene and the sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set work well with them and are great for many occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs bundles to make a quick and easy Thinking of You card. This is also a very simple fun fold where the landscape in the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper covers the front of the card and extends to the trim on the inside. 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:

Start with a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and cut 1 inch off the right side so you have two panels with a continuous design. Adhere the large panel to a Very Vanilla mat and adhere the skinny panel to the right side of the Very Vanilla inside panel.

Adhere the large layered DSP panel to the front of the card with liquid glue. Use the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies to cut the leaf cluster and wildflowers from Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige card stocks. Adhere the die cuts to the card front with glue dots. Make a loopy bow with linen thread and adhere it with a glue dot.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set on Very Vanilla using Pecan Pie ink and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. cut a Pecan Pie circle using the second smallest Spotlight on Nature dies and adhere it to the back of the label. Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals and finish with Cajun Craze gems.

Stamp the left side of the inside panel with the wildflower from the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms stamp set using twice stamped off Pecan Pie ink. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love to use beautiful designer series paper on cards because it makes it so easy! Add a few complimentary die cuts with a pretty sentiment label and a few embellishments and you have an impressive handmade card that anyone would be happy to receive.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! One of the prettiest bundles from the last few years is the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies and they are currently on the Last Chance products list with wonderful discounts! I used it with the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to make a simple fun fold Thinking of You card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a panel of Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front panel of the Highland Heather card base. Cut a Gorgeous Grape panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and adhere another panel of the DSP to the die cut.

Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set using Versamark ink on Gorgeous Grape. Sprinkle the sentiment with white embossing powder and shake off the excess. Heat the powder with a heat tool until it’s bright and shiny and cut it out with the rectangle die from the Perennial Postage dies. Adhere it to the layered die cut with glue dots.

Cut two leaf sprigs using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender dies from Lost Lagoon and adhere them to the large die cut with glue dots. Cut two double floral sprigs from Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and adhere three of the sprigs to the die cut panel with bits of dimensionals at the top and glue dots at the bottom. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with dimensionals and finish with a white bow and purple shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, stamp the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set using Highland Heather ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the side and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal so that the DSP shows when the card is closed.

The pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper and purple shimmer gems are carried over in the new Annual Catalog and are perfect for making cards for those special ladies who love purple. Definitely check out the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender stamp set and dies on the Last Chance list for a great bargain while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle is a new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog that will be available on May 6, 2025. I used it with a pretty landscape pattern of Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a thinking of you card for today. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a pretty landscape panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat by applying liquid glue around the outside edge. I used the second largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a circle from the layered DSP and adhered the outside to the front of a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals.

I adhered the die cut circle to the inside of the circle with liquid glue to get a two layer effect. I cut a Mossy Meadow panel with the pretty fern die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots and bits of dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Lost Lagoon and cut it out with the long Textured notes label die using a two step methog. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished with a three small copper gems.

I left the inside of the card, blank, simply trimming the side of a Basic White panel with more of the landscape DSP and adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The landscape panels of the Beautiful Gallery DSP are real pretty. I love the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set and the fern die is just gorgeous. The flourish dies are interesting in that they do a partial die cut – I need to play with them a bit to get comfortable. Here is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs bundle:

It will be available with the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are part of the new Beautiful Gallery Suite in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog on May 6.

Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Grow with Love bundle is a fun herb and seed themed set with beautiful stamped images and fun seed envelope dies. But I just used the beautiful herb stamps and pretty sentiment for today’s 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 and I took some liberties by resizing the sketch and mounting it on a DSP background:

I adhered a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the herbs from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set on Basic Beige. Before the final stamping, I practiced several times on printer paper to arrange the herbs and select the right color combinations until I came up with the right mix of colors and herb placement. For my final run, I stamped the mint in Grammy Apple Green in the middle of the panel. Next, I inked up the basil using Garden Green ink and applied Blackberry Bliss to the buds with sponge daubers before stamping it next to the mint. Then I stamped the rosemary using Shaded Spruce ink and finished with thyme in Lost lagoon on either side. I filled in the bottom and sides with the top of the mint stamp in full strength and stamped off Granny Apple Green. I adhered the stamped panel to a Shaded Spruce mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Shaded Spruce ink on Lost Lagoon and cut it out with the small label die. I used Garden Green linen thread to make a bow and adhered it to the back with a glue dot before adhering the label to the card with dimensionals. I finished with the cute mini bee trinkets adhered with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I kept it simple, trimming the side of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The herb stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Grow with Love stamp set are so detailed and realistic, and they look beautiful no matter what color you use. I had fun playing with all the different shades of green as I was working on my arrangement.

Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set with the sweet Nests of Winter designer series paper to make a simplenThinking of You card today. 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:

I adhered a panel of Nests of Winter designer series paper to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a birdy panel of the DSP to a Shaded Spruce mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Gray Granite strip and cut it out with the skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I made a bow with Gray Granite baker’s twine and adhered it to the label with a glue dot. I finished the card with Cherry Cobbler berries.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the bird from the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set using twice stamped off Gray Granite ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered DSP to the side before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..

The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Winterly Tree Tops stamp set are simple and perfect for use year round. The pretty Nests of Winter DSP are nice for Christmas cards, making the suite perfect for any occasion during the Winter holidays!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Note Card Trio

Good Morning! Earlier this month Stampin’ Up! held a special creative event and showed projects using the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a pink version of the Countryside Inn designer series papers. For today’s cards, I converted the designs to 3-1/2″ x 5″ note cards and used the regular Countryside Inn DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

For my first card, I adhered strips of Countryside Inn designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I cut the flourish from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes dies from a Countryside Inn panel and adhered it to the card. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small rectangle from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered a loopy bow to the back and popped it on the card with dimensionals and finished the card with iridescent gems.

On the second card, I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I cut a Balmy Blue banner using the Nested essential Dies and stamped it with the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set. I stamped the ‘Thanks’ sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and trimmed it with paper snips before adhering it to the banner. I popped the banner on the card with dimensionals and adhered a small bow on top. I finished the card with iridescent gems.

For the third card, I cut three panels of Countryside Inn DSP with the small diamond die and cut them in half. I adhered them to a Boho Blue card base. I cut two flower sprigs using the Stampin’ Up!Thoughtful Wishes dies, trimmed them with my paper snips and adhered them to the card. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and adhered it to a Boho Blue mat. I wrapped it with linen thread and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with iridescent gems.

I kept the insides of the cards simple, lining them with Basic White panels.

These designs really show off the pretty patterns in the Countryside Inn designer series paper and give a really different feel to the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle. And the DSP will be part of the sale that starts next month( see details below)! The Linen Thread that I used is Night of Navy and part of the Nests of Winter suite that will be available in the new September – December Mini Catalog on September 4, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Gate Fold Card

Good Morning! I I really love the Wildly Flowering designer series paper and I wanted to use the Wild Wheat pattern with the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set. So I made this gatefold card to step it up a bit while still keeping it simple and showing off the pretty DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Wild Wheat panel with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder and cut the panel in half. I adhered each embossed panel to the front flaps of my gatefold card base with liquid glue.

I cut my DSP panel into thirds and adhered them to an Early Espresso mat, starting at each end and adhering the middle panel last. I was careful to keep the panels in order, so that the design would flow continuously. I adhered the panel to the left side of the gatefold card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Basic White and cut it out with the large rectangle label die from the Wild Ferns dies. I colored a length of white baker’s twine with my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend and made a bow that I adhered to the back of the label with a glue dot. I adhered the label to the left flap of the card with dimensionals and finished with three textured dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the little flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set in Early Espresso ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This is really a simple fun fold card that shows off the pretty DSP. The Wildly Flowering designer series paper has such a vintage feel – perhaps because of the color palette. But it is one of my favorites. And I need to use the pretty dies in the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle soon, because they’re just awesome!

Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony In My Thoughts Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set is sweet, simple cling stamp set with pretty line flowers and sentiments. I used it with the Country Lace designer series paper for a thinking of you card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Lace designer series paper to a Petal Pink mat with liquid glue. I adhered strip of the DSP to a Petal Pink mat and adhered it to the panel. I adhered the layered DSP panel to the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I colored the flower with Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and adhered the panel to a Petal Pink mat. I wrapped a length of white baker’s twine around the bottom and made a bow before popping it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on basic white and cut it out with a round die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with Petal Pink foil gems.

For the inside of the card I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Petal Pink ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered the it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The large, pretty flower in theStampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set is perfect for coloring with Stampin’ Blends or just leaving as an outline image. It’s very versatile and I love that the stamp set has other flowers that coordinate with it in different sizes, like the one I stamped on the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle and Thoughtful Journey 6″ x6″ designer series paper are gorgeous products and I used them to make a simple Z-fold Thinking of you card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the left panel of a Lost Lagoon Z-fold card base with liquid glue. I used the thistle dies from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes dies to cut Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow panels and adhered them together with small dots of liquid glue. I adhered the die cut to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Wild Wheat card stock. I cut it out with the small fat banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I cut a Fresh Freesia panel with the small thin banner die and cut it in half and adhered the pieces to the back of the sentiment label with liquid glue.

I made a loopy bow with Linen Thread and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished the card front with fresh freesia dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I trimmed thr panel with the thin Thoughtful Journey DSP panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I love how you can see the wide image when the card is open!

The Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle coordinates so well with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ DSP. This simple fun fold lets the pretty DSP be the star!
