Stampin’ Up! A Fish And A Wish Thank You Card

Good Morning! I just got back to Pennsylvania after spending a few months in Arizona and I wanted to make a quick card with a stamp set that I haven’t seen recently. The Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish bundle is another fun undersea bundle focusing on different cute fish with a coordinating punch. I used it with the By The Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty designer series paper for a 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 seaweed from the Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish cling stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink all over a panel of By the Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty DSP using full strength and stamped off ink. I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Mint Macaron mat. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I stamped three small fish from the Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on Pear Pizzazz card stock. I cut the fish out with the Fish Builder Punch. I stamped two large fish in Mango Melody ink on Pale Papaya card stock and punched them out. I laid out the fish and adhered the large fish with Stampin’ Seal to a Vellum card stock panel. I applied Stampin’ Seal to the back of the panel under the large fish and where the small fish would be placed and adhered it to the card front. I adhered the small fish with dimensionals over the Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on Pool Party and cut it out with the banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I folded a length of Pool Party ribbon and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the card front with opal rounds.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small fish from the Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish stamp set in Coastal Cabana and the large fish in Mango Melody on a Basic White panel. I stamped and embossed a strip of By The Bay 6″ x 6″ specialty DSP like the front background and adhered it to the bottom of the panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the design of the fish in the Stampin’ Up! A Fish and a Wish stamp set and I’m glad there’s a coordinating punch! The stamp set has wonderful sentiments and it’s perfect for fun, fishy cards for fish loving friends!

Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Wedding Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle is full of wonderful sentiments and gorgeous label die cuts. I used the sentiments with the beautiful large background die from the Two-Tone Flora bundle along with the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Wedding Card You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a Basic White panel with the large floral background die from the Two-Tone Flora dies and adhered it to a Fancy Flora panel with dots of liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Soft Succulent card base.

I cut a Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP panel with the largest fancy rectangle die from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy cling stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the medium fancy rectangle die. I adhered the labels together with liquid glue and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals.

I made a large bow with Soft Succulent satin ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I adhered three Daffodil Delight Loose Frosted dots to the label with glue dots to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy stamp set in Soft Succulent on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf cluster from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set in the top corner and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stamping’ Seal.

The pretty background die cut from the Two-Tone Flora dies is perfect for Wedding Cards! With a gorgeous satin bow, you don’t need much more than a beautiful sentiment to make a beautiful card for that extra special day!

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Congratulations Card

Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. This gorgeous bundle is part of the Fancy Flora suite and I also used the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and the Something Fancy stamp set from that suite in todays card. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to an Orchid Oasis mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of an Orchid Oasis card base with dimensionals. I stamped the two large flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora photopolymer stamp set in Polished Pink ink on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamps first and then stamped the background stamps in stamped off Polished Pink and lined up the flower centers – I found this pretty easy to do. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored the centers with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend marker.

I stamped two sets of the leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped two sets of the two-stem small flower clusters in Daffodil Delight ink, by stamping the detail stamp full strength and the background stamp in stamped off Daffodil Delight. These were easy to line up by using the flower centers as well. I cut them out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I adhered two large Polished Pink roses on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Versamark ink on Orchid Oasis. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with my paper snips and adhered it with dimensionals and glue dots. I made a bow with Fresh Freesia ribbon and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card front with three iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Daffodil Delight just like the card front in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Orchid Oasis in the middle and trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The stamped floral images come out so pretty and they are fairly easy to line up. And the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is also pretty, reminiscent of an impressionist oil painting. Here is my card with the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle, the gems and some of the pretty DSP.

Here is the stamp set and dies in the bundle:

And here is the other stamp bundle in the Fancy Flora suite, the Something Fancy bundle. I love the dies in this sentiment bundle!

I love the traditional floral look of the two-step stamped flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora bundle and actually all the gorgeous items in the Fancy Flora suite. It will all be available on January 5, 2023!

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek Cards

Good Morning! Yesterday we had our Quarterly Inkin’ Krew Team meeting and three of our teammates designed cards using the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. This beautiful bundle is part of the Splendid Day suite that also contains the beautiful Splendid Day specialty designer series paper and will be available on July 1, 2022. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Rosie Kean from Rapid City, SD designed this gorgeous Double Z fold wedding card showing off the beautiful foil papers from the Splendid Day specialty DSP. The beautiful foils are matted on Soft Sea foam in the outer card and the inner card uses the linen paper with the Soft Sea Foam leaf panels as mats.

The card bases are Sahara Sand and the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set are stamped in Soft Suede. The gorgeous die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies accent the Sahara Sand fabric DSP panels and Rosie designed an optional Basic White back panel for writing a personal message. I added the Soft Sea Foam Bow and iridescent pearls to the front panel.

Karen Ksenzakovic from Somerville, NJ designed this card using all the gorgeous foliage die cuts from the Splendid Stems dies. The Soft Sea Foam card base and Pear Pizzazz mat are perfect with the subtle leafy background of the DSP and allow the beautiful bold die cuts in Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry and Evening Evergreen to really pop!

She finished the card front with a beautiful Soft Sea Foam bow on the linen die cut flower pot. I added the brass butterflies around the leaves. For the inside Karen also added a sentiment in addition to the stamped foliage from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set. You can find more of Karen’s beautiful designs on her blog – Creative Stamping Designs.

Tara Carpenter from Hallsville, MO designed our last card, and it doesn’t show up very well, but it uses shimmery white card stock for the front and inside panels, so it has a beautiful subtle sparkle! She showed us how to mask off the vertical stripe and use blending brushes to apply Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis inks to make a gorgeous multicolor stripe on the card front.

A single Soft Succulent die cut leaf wrapped in Evening Evergreen twine around the panel matted in Soft Succulent and adhered to an Evening Evergreen card base perfectly frames the blended stripe. I had the courage to stamp the sentiment (and it was straight – yay!) and finish it with three iridescent rhinestones. I carried the blended strip to the inside of the card and stamped the sentiment and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle in Evening Evergreen and stamped off Soft Succulent on the inside panel. Find more of Tara’s beautiful cards on her blog – Tarabeth Stamps.

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Splendid Day specialty designer series paper will be available on July 1, 2022 and you will not regret putting it at the top of your wish list. It was fun playing with these beautiful products and making cards with Rosie, Karen and Tara during our team meeting and I’m grateful that they shared their beautiful designs with us.

Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime Wedding Card

Happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing a Wedding Card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime and Forever Blossoms stamp sets and Lasting Elegance dies. There are so many stamp sets and bundles that are currently available to make beautiful, elegant wedding cards and it makes it difficult to choose. So let’s get started looking at some of the options. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I love the Lasting Elegance dies, so I used both of the floral dies to cut a panel of the new Sahara Sand foil. This foil is so pretty – like a soft gold. I adhered the die cut panel to a Basic White panel and wrapped a length of Polka Dot Tulle around it, securing it in the back and popped the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the Stitched So Sweetly Die. The Sahara Sand ink looks great with the foil and looks more like gold than brown.

I popped the label on the card front with dimensionals and added three white elegant gems. I made a bow with the polka dot tulle ribbon and adhered it next to the label to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped part of the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime cling stamp set in the upper corner in Sahara Sand ink and adhered the panel to a Sahara Sand mat.

This card was pretty easy to put together and is so elegant!! The Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime and Forever Blossoms are just two of the beautiful wedding themed stamp sets currently available. And be sure to check out the Love You Always foil sheets and other specialty papers to give your wedding card an extra elegant touch.

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Winter Wedding Card

Good Morning! Today I have snowflake Wedding card made with the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes stamp set and the pretty Snowflake Splendor designer series paper! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper to a Whisper White mat. I cut out snowflakes with the So many Snowflakes dies from Silver Foil and Whisper White and adhered them to the panel.

I cut the large fancy label from a Whisper White panel with the Stitched So Sweetly dies and embossed it with the retiring Winter Snow embossing folder. I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a Seaside Spray panel and sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder. I heat set the powder until shiny and after it cooled, I cut it with the next largest Stitched So Sweetly die. I adhered the labels together with liquid glue and to the panel with dimensionals.

I adhered the panel to the front of a Seaside Spray card front with dimensionals and adhered a Seaside Spray metallic bow under the label with a glue dot. I finished the card front with rhinestone gems.

I adhered another silver foil die cut snowflake to a Whisper White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I think the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes stamp set is the most beautiful ever for Wedding cards. And while snowflakes are not traditional for weddings, the Snowflake Splendor DSP is beautiful and wonderful for a Winter Wedding! It’s currently on sale, along with the Winter Snow embossing folder, and it’s perfect for making cards for winter celebrations and sending winter greetings long after Christmas.

Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime Best Wishes Card

Good Morning! Today I have a pretty card for a very special person made with the Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime cling stamp set, the Lasting Elegance Dies and the Magic In This Night designer series paper. The Magic In This Night paper is for Halloween, but it has some gorgeous floral images, so I thought I would pair it with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Last a Lifetime stamp set for a Wedding or Birthday card for that Halloween lover celebrating in the fall. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of the Magic In This Night designer series paper to the front of a Basic Black card base. I cut a strip of Basic Black with the fancy border die from the Ornate Borders Dies and adhered it to the bottom of the black background paper from the Magic In This Night designer series paper. I cut the end with the Triple Banner punch and adhered it to the card front.

I cut a Cajun Craze panel with the large die from the Lasting Elegance Dies and adhered it to a Basic Black scalloped square from the Layering Squares Dies. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I finished the card front with a black glitter ribbon bow and three iridescent pearls.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Last A Lifetime stamp set in Basic Black on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower in Cajun Craze after stamping off once. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Magic In This Night designer series paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

So this is a different card, and not for everyone, but there are so many Halloween lovers out there, that you must know someone who would love to receive a goth card for a special birthday or wedding.

Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet Wedding Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I made an elegant wedding card with the new Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set to share today.

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

I started by stamping the Stampin’ Up! Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp set on a panel of Basic Black card stock using VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold embossing powder and heat set. I cut it out with the third largest of the Stitched Rectangles dies. I cut a panel of Gold Foil and ran it through the Subtle embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic Black mat. I popped the embossed gold foil on a Thick Whisper White card base with dimensionals. I popped the floral embossed basic black die cut panel on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Whisper White. I sprinkled Gold embossing powder on it and heat set. I cut it out with a Stitched Nested Label die. I stamped the top of the birthday cake from the Happy Birthday to You Sale-A-Bration stamp set twice on a panel of Basic Black card stock in VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled them with Gold embossing powder and heat set. I cut each cluster with the coordinating die from the Birthday Dies and I fussy cut the top flower in each cluster. I put one aside for the inside of the card.

I cut the leaf spray from the Birthday dies on a panel of Gold foil giving me two dies. I adhered the dies and label to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the Happy Birthday to You flower to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with a gold glitter enamel dot.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Forever Blossoms on a Whisper White panel using VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold embossing powder and heat set. I added a strip of Gold foil that was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder to the bottom and adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with snail. I finished the inside with the second Happy Birthday to You embossed flower.

It’s fun to use Foil in making cards, and it is so elegant and beautiful when embossed. Good thing there are Weddings to have an excuse to be so extravagant!

Stampin’ Up! Piece of Cake Wedding Card

Good Morning! June is a big wedding month and today I have a white and silver wedding card featuring the Stampin’ Up! Piece of Cake photopolymer stamp set.

I started by embossing a piece of shimmer white cardstock using the beautiful Country Floral embossing folder. Since the paper will sometimes shrink lengthwise after being embossed, I add an extra 1/8 inch to the length and then after embossing, I remeasured it and trim off the excess. This way I get the exact measurement I need. I then attached the embossed piece to a Silver Foil mat and then to a Thick Whisper White card base using snail.

I then stamped the floral cake, cake stand and the floral topper from the Stampin’ Up! Piece of Cake stamp set on Whisper White using Versamark ink after dusting the cardstock with the embossing buddy. The embossing buddy is necessary for most embossing to keep the powder on the stamped image and minimize the stray pieces of embossing powder on the cardstock where you don’t want it. There are usually a few pieces that I still need to pick off with a pick. Then I sprinkled silver embossing powder on the images and set them with the heat tool. I punched the cake and cake stand with the Stampin’ Up! Cake Builder punch and fussy cut the flower topper with paper snips. I punched two more pieces of the cake and cake stand and glued them to the back of the embossed pieces with multipurpose liquid glue. This way I had thicker pieces, kind of like chipboard and it gives more dimension to the label. It’s pretty easy to do with the punch and these shapes!

I then took the largest of the Stitched Nested labels and die cut a part of the label from Thick Whisper White cardstock. I dusted the end with the embossing buddy and stamped the Mr & Mrs sentiment with Versamark ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with silver embossing powder and heat set it. I then glued the cake, cake stand and topper to the label and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished it off with 3 small rhinestone jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped and embossed the wedding sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Piece of Cake Photopolymer Stamp Set on Whisper White cardstock. I added a strip of Whisper White embossed with the country floral embossing folder and matted it with Silver Foil before attaching it to the inside of the card.

Silver Foil really dresses up a card and makes wedding cards extra special and they go so nicely with silver embossing powder. The Country Floral Embossing folder also adds a lovely touch to wedding cards. They just don’t photograph well because of the shine and sparkle – oh well!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend!
