Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle is a is a. wonderful set that has shells that go with the pretty Seaside Bay bundle and the By the Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper. I used them all to make a sweet shell themed thinking of 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 By the Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper to a Sahara Sand mat with liquid glue and then to the front of a Mint Macaron card base with dimensionals. I cut a Sahara Sand panel with the net die from the Chic dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I applied Petal Pink ink to a Basic White panel with a blending brush and stamped the large shell from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic photopolymer stamp set in Petal Pink. I stamped the two shells from the Seaside Bay cling stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink and cut all the shells out with the coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on Petal Pink card stock and cut it out with the second smallest long Stitched Rectangles dies. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots.

I cut three Seaside Bay clamshells from distressed gold paper and adhered the shells with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card with flat adhesive pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Sahara Sand on a Basic White panel. I stamped the shells from the two stamp sets around the edges of the panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of By the Bay DSP. I adhered another distressed gold clamshell to the bottom before adhering it to the inside of the card. I made a coordinating envelope by stamping the shells on the front and adhering DSP to the back flap.

Luckily these two stamp and die sets are returning in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, so we will still be able to use them for summer seashell cards for our amazing friends! Yay!!

New 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

The new Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog will debut on May 2, 2023! The Demonstrator pre-order will occur during April, so there will be sneak peeks of wonderful new products and colors! I will be ordering catalogs for my current customers at the beginning of the month and sending them to my customers. If you would like a copy, simply place an order and I will be happy to send you one, too!

Get the complete details on the new 2023-2025 In Colors and the Color Refresh on my Stampin’ Up! Promotions Page.

This Last Chance Products promotion will include two lists of Last Chance Products that will no longer be available once the catalog retires. There will be one for each catalog retiring. For these retiring catalogs, there will not be a Carryover List. You can find carryover products in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

A few things to know about the retiring lists and the Last Chance products:

Items on the retiring list are only available while supplies last, so order soon to make sure that you are able to get the items that you are wanting!
The 2021-2023 In Color items, ink pads, refills, Stampin’ Blends and cardstock are usually some of the first items to sell out (The Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends are already gone!!).
There will be retiring colors as part of the Color Refresh, and these items will likely sell out early as well!
Some of the items will have sale prices listed. Those sale prices do not start until Tuesday April 4.
The last day to order from these catalogs will be May 1, 2023.

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

Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting Thinking Of You Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is a quick card made with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting bundle and the Lovely in Linen designer series paper. This is a sweet floral photopolymer stamp set with wonderful sentiments for lots of different occasions that is bundled with a coordinating label punch. 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.

Here is a video tutorial for this card from my YouTube Channel:

I embossed a panel of Pale Papaya with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ before adhering it to the front of a Pale Papaya card base. I adhered a panel of the Lovely in Linen DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base and wrapped it in Evening Evergreen windowpane check ribbon and made a bow before adhering it to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment and label border from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set in Sweet Sorbet and Evening Evergreen before punching it out and adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished with red rhinestones.

For the inside, I inked up the pretty floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya, stamped off and stamped the image on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Lovely in Linen DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I love how the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set matches the flowers in the Lovely in Linen DSP. And I love that there’s a border stamp that coordinates with the punch! And I used the cane weave embossing folder because it reminded me of an old woven laundry basket – perfect for linen!

The new Stampin’ Up! 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog is due to be released on May 2, 2023. This means that the 2021-2023 In Colors will be retiring and probably the pretty Lovely in Linen DSP too since it uses Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent. So I wanted to pull it out and enjoy making a few more cards with this sweet floral paper!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! We returned to PA last week, just in time for the Fall Foliage to peak, so I was inspired to use the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set to capture the beauty. I finally finished my card and used the pretty sentiments from the Very Best Occasion cling stamp set with it. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the oak leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set several times on a Very Vanilla panel. I used a technique where I inked the stamp in one color and used a sponge dauber to apply a second color to parts of the leaf before stamping the image on the card stock. I used Crumb Cake with Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral with Parakeet Party and Crushed Curry with Calypso Coral. I cleaned the stamp after each leaf and rubbed out the excess color from my sponge daubers to keep my ink pad colors from mixing.

I embossed the stamped panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered the panel to a Crumb Cake mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Crushed Curry strip and trimmed the end with my paper snips. I folded a length of natural ribbon, secured the middle with a glue dot and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals and finished it with a rustic metallic dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest stamp set in Crushed Curry and Calypso coral and stamped it next to the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

We had beautiful Fall Foliage this week, but after Halloween, half of the trees are bare – the peak passed so fast! Falling leaves are so peaceful, and these sentiments are so pretty, making a nice fall friendship card, encouragement card or even a get well card.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Thinking Of You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings cling stamp set is one of the prettiest leaf stamp sets ever. This maple leaf with seeds is so graceful and wonderfully shaded. And I love the sentiments! I used it with the pretty Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for a simple thinking of 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 Very Vanilla panel with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base with dimensionals.

I inked up the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set with Pumpkin Pie ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Cajun Craze ink around the edge of the leaf. I used another sponge dauber to apply Parakeet Party ink to the stem and stamped the leaf on Very Vanilla. I used my paper snips to fussy cut around the leaf. I adhered the leaf to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla. I used the large label die from the Waves dies to cut the sentiment using a two step die cutting technique (cut half the label, move the die to the other half and cut the other half). I looped some Sahara Sand ribbon through the label and adhered it to the card front with glue dots. I finished the card with an amber gem.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the seed from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Parakeet Party on a Very Vanilla panel using the same sponge dauber technique to ink the stamp. I embossed a strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

There are so many beautiful card made with the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set. I love the cards made using the Joseph’s Coat technique and the baby wipe technique. It’s so versatile and I’m planning to play with this beautiful stamp set some more.

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings cling stamp set is wonderful because it has the most used card sentiments in the prettiest fonts and different sizes! I paired it with the beautiful designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle for a simple thinking of 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 Pear Pizzazz panel with the Pretty Flowers 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pear Pizzazz card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Melon Mambo Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World DSP to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch to punch out five small floral images from the Wonderful World designer series paper and selected four to use for the front. I punched out 4 postage stamps from Basic White and adhered the floral images to the front with liquid glue. I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark ink on Pear Pizzazz. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until shiny and cut it out with the long banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the banner to the card front with glue dots and finished it with a Fresh Freesia opal dot.

For the inside of the card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with a Melon Mambo strip of Wonderful World DSP. I adhered the fifth punched flower to the lower corner and adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Sale-A-Bration Wonderful World bundle is fabulous and the DSP designs are so versatile. I wouldn’t have thought I could make such a pretty card just by punching out pretty flower images! And the sweet sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set are the perfect compliment. But Sale-A-Bration beginning to wind down, so shop soon to make sure you get the items you want before they sell out!

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the August Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fall Frenzy” and I am using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle with the sweet Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love designer series paper for a Fall Thinking of You 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 the pretty fall leaves Rings of Love designer series paper to a Poppy Parade mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Crushed Curry card base with dimensionals.

I inked up the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic photopolymer stamp set in Poppy Parade, stamped off on scratch paper and stamped it on a Basic White panel. I cut it out with the background leaf die from the Chic dies that come in the bundle and adhered a detailed Poppy Parade die cut leaf on top with liquid glue. I used the detailed leaf die to cut leaves from Soft Succulent and So Saffron and adhered all three leaves to the card front with glue dots.

I used the acorn and acorn cap dies from the Tree Rings Dies Hybrid Embossing folder set to cut the acorns from Crumb Cake and Soft Suede card stock and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Crushed Curry card stock. I cut it out with the die from the Painted Labels dies and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I tied a short length of window pane check ribbon in a knot and adhered it with a glue dot. I finished the card with rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Stamp set in stamped off Evening Evergreen and Crushed Curry in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the pretty Rings of Love DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love designer series paper is so pretty with gorgeous colors and designs that go with so many stamp sets, such as today’s Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic. And you can get it free with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes) through the end of the month during Sale-A-Bration.

Stampin’ Up! Season Of Chic Thinking of You Card

Good Morning! The new Texture Chic Suite in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog is so beautiful and unique. It has the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic bundle with an eclectic set of stamps and dies with sea shell, flower, leaf and snowflake motifs along with different spatter and brushstroke stamps that encourages creativity. It also has the beautiful Texture Chic specialty designer series paper with touches of gold foil and the gorgeous Distressed Gold specialty paper. I used all three for today’s shell motif thinking of you card and 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 Texture Chic specialty designer series paper to a Gray Granite mat. I used a blending brushes to apply Gray Granite ink and Petal Pink ink to two spots on a Basic White panel. I stamped the shell from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic photopolymer stamp set to stamp over the blended spots, using Petal Pink over the Gray Granite spot and Mango Melody over the Petal Pink spot. I cut the shells out with the coordinating die.

I stamped another Pink shell on plain Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die and cut a panel of Distressed Gold specialty paper with the large detailed shell die. I adhered the gold shell to the Petal Pink stamped shell with liquid glue. I die cut the two small detailed shells from Petal Pink card stock and traced the long shell outline on a Basic White scrap. I used a blending Brush to apply Petal Pink ink to the shell and stamped over it with the spatter stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set and Mango Melody ink. I fussy cut the shell and adhered it to the back of my die cut Petal Pink shell.

I cut a vellum panel with the screen die from the Chic dies and colored the back with Gray Granite and Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the screen to the DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal across the middle and along the side. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Gray Granite ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered some gold shimmer ribbon to the DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label on top with glue dots. I used glue dots to adhere the two smaller shells and the plain larger shells. I adhered the layered distress gold shell with dimensionals and adhered the DSP panel to the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Polished Dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the shell from the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink and Gray Granite in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the Spatter in Mango Melody and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Texture Chic specialty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here in the Northeast, it’s a big beach weekend with gorgeous weather, so the shells in the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic stamp set make a perfect card for the times. The light woodgrain DSP with the shells make the perfect background for a sun bleached look. This was a fun card to make and I hope it inspires you for summertime fun.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies Card

Good Morning! I was so glad when I saw the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies cling stamp set and the coordinating dies because they are such a striking flower, coming in so many colors these days. And I always think of Poppies on Memorial Day because of my childhood, growing up as an Air Force brat, frequently living on base. So I had to bring out these stamps for a Memorial Day 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 Flowering Fields designer series paper to a Basic Black mat with liquid glue. I stamped the poppies from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black across a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend and adhered the panel to another panel of Flowering Fields DSP.

I adhered the layered panel to the larger DSP panel with liquid glue. I wrapped the panel with a length of black bakers’s twine and made a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Basic Black and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny.

I cut out the sentiment with the long label die from the Potted Succulents dies and adhered it over the twine with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the front of a Poppy Parade card base with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the single poppy flower from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel. I colored the flower with a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend and the stem and leaves with an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Flowering fields DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up Painted Poppies stamp set has simple, pretty poppy flowers and leaves and coordinates with the Painted Labels dies to make gorgeous die cut poppies. Have a safe Memorial day, and I hope you spend time with those you love.

Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon bundle and the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are some of the prettiest items in the current Mini Catalog. One of the biggest reasons is that when you combine the pretty watercolor design paper with the unique stamps and dies, it’s so easy to make beautiful cards featuring natural landscapes. And these products work great with other stamp sets, so I combined them with the trees from the Grassy Grove bundle 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 theme challenge this week about creating a scene, so of course I selected the Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon bundle to make my card:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Timeworn Text 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Basic White card base with liquid glue. I selected my panel of New Horizons 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and cut 1″ off the bottom and 1-1/2″ off the top. Then I cut 1-1/2″ off the side. I saved the bottom and side panels to use for this card.

I cut the remaining DSP panel with the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangles die. I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon cling stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on the side of the die cut panel and the grass in Evening Evergreen across the bottom. I stamped the birds in Basic Gray in the sky and adhered the panel to an Evening Evergreen mat. I popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the trees from the Grassy Grove photopolymer stamp set in Garden Green on the small panel of New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP that I put aside and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut a panel of Evening Evergreen with the same die and adhered it to the back of the stamped trees to make it stiffer. I adhered the trees to the card front with dimensionals so that the horizon in the trees almost lined up with the background.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp set in Versamark ink on Evening Evergreen. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated it with my heat tool until the powder was shiny. I cut the sentiment with the long label die from the Harvest dies so that the side was straight. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots and finished the card front with pebble enamel shapes.

For the inside, I stamped the the trees from the Grassy Grove stamp set in Garden Green on the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the grass from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on the other side. I used the grass die from the Horizon Dies to cut the 1″ wide strip of New Horizons DSP and stamped it with the grass stamp using Evening Evergreen. I adhered it to the inside panel with liquid glue and adhered the inside panel to an Evening Evergreen mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card.

So simple and so different! The Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon bundle is perfect when paired with the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP for making landscapes – an easy way to feel like an artist!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! April Showers Bring May Flowers! I have been saying this every year since I was a child. We had some rain last weekend and it’s still cool here in Pennsylvania, so I’m grateful it wasn’t snow. But daffodils are blooming and soon the tulips will be as well, so it’s time for tulip cards. I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle for a thinking of you card in my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon to make this card. You can find the supplies I used in my video at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the link to the Facebook Live video from yesterday. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer. I’ve included it in this post:

I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Scalloped Contours dies and adhered a panel of the beautiful Flowering Fields designer series paper to the front. I cut a Poppy Parade panel with the three tulip dies – the wide triple panel petals, the medium double petal panel and the small single petal pane. I adhered the small single petal panel to the inside of the triple panel with liquid glue. I put bits of dimensionals on the top of the medium panel and liquid glue on the bottom and adhered it to the middle and folded over the side panels of the large panel, securing the bottom with liquid glue.

I cut the skinny stem and adhered it to the DSP with the fine tip glue pen. I adhered the tulip flower on top of the stem with glue dots and cut one of each of the leaf dies from the Tulips dies in the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle and adhered them on either side of the stem with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I punched the ends of the Petal Pink panel with the curly side of the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips stamp set in Poppy Parade on top. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with dimensionals and made a bow with sheer Pool Party ribbon. I adhered the bow to the stem with a glue dot and finished the card with Pool Party Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped two tulips from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips stamp set in Flirty Flamingo on the sides of a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed stamp over the stamped tulips in stamped off Flirty Flamingo and added Memento Tuxedo Black flower centers and Pear Pizzazz stems and leaves. I trimmed the bottom with Flowering Fields DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Both the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips bundle and Flowering Fields DSP are beautiful items that are perfect for spring cards. And they’re so versatile, and result in beautiful hand crafted items.

For my Facebook live, I had a sample card with a Basic White flower that was sponged with Petal Pink for a very light pink card. Here it is with the card I made in the video. I think I like them both.
