Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Valentine’s Day Cards

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack is perfect for Valentine’s Day cards. It has so many pretty die cuts that you can combine in different ways to make Valentines and it even has sentiments so you won’t have to do any stamping. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post and I’ve embedded card stock cuts in the description of the cards.

For my first card, I used a Basic White note card for my card base and embossed a 3″ x 4-1/2″ panel of Fresh Freesia with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder. I adhered a 2″ x 4-1/4″ panel of Lemon Lime Twist Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP to the side. I adhered the white lattice and flower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to the card with glue dots. I broke apart a white nested heart and adhered the larger hearts to the card with glue dots. I adhered the tulip die cut heart to a Melon Mambo heart and popped it on the center and finished with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack and three clear dots.

I used leftover Christmas DSP for my next card – a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ panel of Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP adhered to the front of a Real Red 3″ x 3″ card front (3″ x 6″ card base, scored at 3″). I adhered the two large white heart die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue and popped a sentiment on top with dimensionals. I wrapped the fold with Real Red and White baker’s twine and made a bow and finished with three Cherry Cobbler dots. On the inside I adhered a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel.

I scored and burnished a 3″ x 6″ panel of Pretty In Pink card stock for my next 3″ x 3″ card. I cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel with the second largest Stylish Shapes square die and applied Pretty In Pink ink with a blending brush. I adhered a floral stem from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack with glue dots and the heart and sentiment with dimensionals. I finished the card with Berry Burst tinsel gems and adhered a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel to the inside.

The last card uses a 3″ x 6″ panel of Thick Basic White, scored and burnished at 3″. I die cut a circle from a 2-2/4″ x 2-3/4″ panel of Basic White and applied Granny Apple Green ink with a blending brush. I adhered two white tulip die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to two real red hearts and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I popped a little floral spray to the bottom with dimensionals and adhered a sentiment with glue dots. I finished with Old Olive faux glass dots.

I like the 3″ x 3″ card size and there are lots of resources online for making envelopes or purchasing them if you need. Of course you can also make the standard 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card size using the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack.

The cutouts in the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are so pretty and I love that they come in so many different color palettes! It’s fun to combine the pretty die cuts with each other and other items in your stash and arrange them on your cards. And it’s a quick and easy (and fun) way to make several pretty Valentines.

Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love bundle is a wonderful set with pretty herb stamps and dies and a fun mini envelope die. I used it to make a basil thank you card and a mini note card with a coordinating envelope. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

For my thank you card, I adhered a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat and adhered it to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. I stamped the frame and basil from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I stamped the basil again using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White and cut it out with the basil die and popped it over the Pecan Pie basil with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the small label die and adhered a Linen Thread bow to the back before adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with textured metallic dots.

I used the envelope die from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love dies to cut a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP and burnished the score lines. I adhered the envelope together with liquid glue. I adhered a short length of linen thread to the envelope flap with a glue dot and cut the envelope clasps from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the large circles to the envelope with mini dimensionals, topped them with dots and looped the Linen Thread to secure it. I stamped the basil and frame again using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I adhered it to the front of a mini card made with the Timeless Plaid DSP.

For the inside panel of the main card, I trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. I stamped another basil from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the inside panel and trimmed the side before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

For the inside of the mini card, I simply stamped the frame from the Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Grow With Love is one of the new Online Exclusives bundles that came out at the beginning of the month. The herb stamp images are just gorgeous with intricate details and shading and it was hard to choose which herb to use. The little envelope is pretty easy to put together and it’s so cute! It’s supposed to be for seeds, but it fits a gift card and is perfect for a little note card or tag to accompany a gift.

Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Book Fold thank you card using the fun Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set, a Sale-A-Bration item you can get for FREE with a $60 order. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week and I’ve used two Sale-A-Bration products for today’s card:

I scored & burnished my Granny Apple Green Card base and adhered the left book bind section closed with liquid glue. I adhered panels of the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front sections.

I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set on a Basic White panel using Granny Apple Green for the top, Pecan Pie for the trunk and Melon Mambo for the roses. I fussy cut the tree with my paper snips. On another panel, I stamped the grass in granny Apple Green, the fence in Crumb Cake and the clouds in Balmy Blue. I cut the background panel with the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I popped the fussy cut tree on top with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card stock and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the sentiment. I cut it out with the small Mixed Labels die and popped it on the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I decorated the card with three textured metallic dots and wrapped Crumb Cake baker’s twine around the binding and made a bow.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower and small leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green inks on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how you can use different images to fill the tree on the Stampin’ Up! Pick A-Season stamp set. And I love the small sentiment and die from the Mixed Labels bundle – they are the perfect size for this little scene! Both the Stampin’ Up! Pick A Season stamp set and the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are FREE items that you can choose with a $60 order during Sale-A-Bration, which runs through February 28.

Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love Valentine’s Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love bundle is a fun Valentine’s Day stamp set with the new To The Point punch. The stamp set has pretty hearts, wonderful sentiments and heart themed frames that coordinate with the punch. I used it with the new Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for today’s Valentine’s Day 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 Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I stamped the hearts from the Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love stamp set using Calypso Coral and Boho Blue ink on Basic White. I used stamped off ink for the large Calypso Coral and striped Boho Blue hearts and full strength Calypso Coral for the tiny clusters. I adhered the panel to a Boho Blue mat and wrapped it with Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine and made a bow. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hugs for Love stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I stamped the frame using Versamark ink on Boho Blue and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heat set the design before punching it out with the To The Point punch.

I popped out the little flowers from the Celebrate Love mix & match ephemera pack and colored them with the light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend. I adhered them to the punched out label with liquid glue and adhered the die cut sentiment on top with dimensionals. I popped the label on the card with dimensionals and finished with Flirty Flamingo dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the hearts next to the sentiment like the front panel and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Hugs For Love bundle is great for Valentine’s Day cards and the sentiments are perfect for any cards sending love. I was surprised at how well the stamped off Calypso Coral went with the Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine and dots. And if you had asked me about an orange and blue Valentine’s Day card, I would not have recommended it, but I think this works. I hope you think so too.

Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped Love You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped bundle is a beautiful Sale-A-Bration bundle with heart shaped wreaths and flowers and love inspiring sentiments. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Bloom Impressions Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to the front of a Melon Mambo card base with liquid glue. I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the Cute Crochet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Melon Mambo mat before adhering it to the front of the card with dimensionals.

I used the pretty wreath die from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped dies to cut two wreathes from the Bloom Impressions designer series paper and adhered it to the card with dots of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped stamp set using Versamark Ink on Melon Mambo. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heat set the sentiment and cut it out with the coordinating die. I used Melon Mambo ink to color white baker’s twine and made a bow that I adhered to the back of the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card with dimensionals and finished with three Melon Mambo sequins.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped stamp set using Bubble Bath ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped bundle is FREE with a $120 order during Sale-A-Bration which runs through February 28, 2025. Both the stamps and dies are really pretty and are great for Valentine’s Day and other loving occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle along with the Floral Delight designer series paper to make a Z-Fold birthday card for today’s hop. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun sketch challenge this week and it was fun to turn it into a Z-Fold card:

I started out by adhering all the panels of Floral Delight designer series paper to the sections of the card base and Z-Fold mechanism using liquid glue. Then I adhered the Z-Fold mechanism to the main card base using liquid glue. I started with the inside or back panel by centering and adhering the folded Z-fold mechanism to the panel and then opening it and adhering the front.

I used the large circle die from the Spotlight on Nature die to cut a basic white panel and used a blending brush to apply pool party ink. I cut the branch from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes dies using Pecan Pie card stock. I cut two of the layered medium flowers from Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie and adhered them together. I stamped the sentiments using Old Olive ink on Basic White and Daffodil Delight and cut them out with the dies.

With the sentiments, stem and flowers, I was able to arrange things on the die cut circle and began adhering them. I adhered the stem with liquid glue and trimmed it at the circle edge. I adhered the ‘wishing’ sentiment with glue dots and the label sentiment under it with glue dots. Then I adhered the die cut circle to the card base with liquid glue, being careful to apply it to the left half of the circle and using a glue dot behind the ‘w’ in the sentiment.

I stamped four leaf clusters from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and finished with a Daffodil Delight bow and antique pearls.

For the inside panel, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed stamp and used stamped off ink for the background. I adhered DSP to the right side and adhered the panel to the inside part of the Z-Fold mechanism with liquid glue. And I added a final pearl to the DSP.

The Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle is definitely a favorite! The label word stamps and dies are wonderful and the die cut flowers are beautiful.

Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the January Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Love” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped Sale-A-Bration bundle with the Sale-A-Bration Bloom Impressions designer series paper to make a floral Valentine. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a floral panel of the Sale-A-Bration Bloom Impressions designer series paper to the front of a Shy Shamrock card base with liquid glue.

I stamped a Basic White panel with the heart wreath stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped Sale-A-Bration stamp set using Melon Mambo ink and embossed it with the Cute Crochet 3d embossing folder. I adhered the panel to a Shy Shamrock mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the leafy wreath die from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped dies to cut a Shy Shamrock panel and adhered the wreath to the card with tiny liquid glue dots. I stamped the sentiment using Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I used the flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped dies to cut three flowers from Petunia Pop and adhered them to the card with dimensionals. I cut the leaf sprigs from the die cut wreath leftovers and tucked them under the flowers. I finished the flowers with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the heart from the Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped stamp set using twice stamped off Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped bundle is a beautiful Sale-A-Bration item that you can get for FREE with a $120 order and you can get the pretty Bloom Impressions DSP for FREE with a $50 order. These offers are available only dirung Sale-A-Bration which runs until February 28, 2025.

Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever stamp set is a fun stamp set that is perfect for personalizing cards for family members. I used it with the pretty new Mixed Media Florals designer series paper for a very simple note card that lets the pretty flowers in the DSP shine. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a black and white floral panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to the front of a Basic Black card base. Before I adhered the DSP panel, I used the brush edge of my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the edge of the DSP panel, since it had a white line from the paper core that would have shown up when adhering it to the card base.

I adhered a pretty floral bouquet panel of Mixed Media Florals DSP to a Calypso Coral mat and popped it on the card with dimensionals. It’s such a pretty design and goes beautifully against the black and white floral background.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Calypso Coral and cut it out with a pretty label die from the Mixed Labels dies. I made a bow with Basic Black baker’s twine and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot and popped the label on the card with dimensionals. I finished the label with black sparkle gems.

For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Best Family Ever stamp set is perfect for making cards with sentiments customized to family and friends. And I love how the sentiment fit so perfectly with the pretty new Mixed Labels dies. Card making is so simple when you let pretty designer series paper be the focal point, accented with pretty sentiments and embellishments.

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals Friendship Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m hoping you are enjoying all the new products that were just released this week because I certainly am. So I’ve used the new Online Exclusives Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle to make today’s friendship card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty color challenge this week and I used most of the colors in my card:

I adhered a panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest Perennial Postage dies and embossed it with the new Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder before adhering it to a Boho Blue mat. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the large tulip stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends, Flirty Flamingo for the tulips, Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Daffodil Delight for the small flowers. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Mixed Labels stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Boho Blue and cut it out with small label die from the Perennial Postage dies. I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set, cut it out with the coordinating die, and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots and popped the sentiment label on top with dimensionals (I doubled up on the left side). I finished the card with a triple bow made with gold trim and gold flat dots.

For the inside panel, I stamped the floral sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the little ladybug underneath and colored it with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals bundle are so beautiful and this large stamp is huge, so it easily fills up a card front. It’s a great set for coloring, using any technique and it will be wonderful for sending Spring wishes for any occasion.

Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Hello Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day – the premiere of the new Stampin’ Up! January – April Mini Catalog! It is also the start of Sale-A-Bration and the release of a new set of Online Exclusives and a new Scrapbooking Brochure!

To celebrate, I made this hello card with the cute new Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle from the new mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I made my Granny Apple Green card base by scoring a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel and cutting off half of the front flap (cut at 2-3/4″). I covered the card base with Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ designer series paper panels, the leafy panel for the small front panel, two garden panels for the short front flap and the stripe panel for the inside. I stamped the ground from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink twice on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered them to bottom of the front panel with liquid glue.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools punch to punch three mushroom caps from strips of Toadstool Gardens DSP. I used a sponge dauber to apply Melon Mambo ink to the edge of the punched caps to make them stand out against the DSP. I used a Gray Granite strip of the DSP to punch mushroom stems and fussy cut one with my paper snips so that it is larger. I used a sponge dauber to apply Gray Granite ink to the outsides.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using a two step method so it was long enough. I adhered the label to the panel with glue dots and adhered the toadstool stems with liquid glue. I popped the toadstool caps on with dimensionals and finished with three green Tinsel Gems. I adhered the panel to the short front flap with liquid glue applied to the left side of the panel.

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little bug next to it using Gray Granite ink. I stamped the wings on Basic White using Real Red ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the wings with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside with Stampin’ Seal so that it’s covered by the decorated panel.

The Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle is a fun bundle and makes cheerful cards when used with the Toadstool Gardens Sale-A-Bration DSP. They’re both perfect for Springtime cards!
