Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle and the pretty Wildly Flowering designer series paper with the sentiments from the Citrus Blooms stamp sets for a simple fun fold Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a or challenge this week and it’s perfect for the Wildly Flowering designer series paper!

I cut panels of Moody Mauve Wildly Flowering designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats before adhering them to the inside and front flap of a Moody Mauve card base. Instead of using a Moody Mauve panel, I cut a Misty Moonlight panel to adhere to the front flap. I cut a panel of Moody Mauve DSP and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel with liquid glue. And I used the panel without the little bouquets.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the scalloped frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs dies and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals. I used the small hexagon panel to cut a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP and adhered it to the center with liquid glue.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set using Versamark ink on a Misty Moonlight panel. 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 the little diamond die from the Unbounded Love dies. I made a bow with linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with Dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I used Crumb Cake ink to ink up the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set and stamped it off before stamping it over the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside panel with liquid glue, being careful to line it up under the front panel so is hidden when the card is closed.

I love how the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle looks with the Wildly Flowering DSP and I finally figured out why I love this paper so much. It looks just like wallpaper I had in my house 30 years ago! Definitely vintage! LOL.

Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! Here’s another Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery stamp set and other items from the Online Exclusive Season of Green and Gold Suite. Today, I stamped the holiday foliage in Old Olive and Garden Green and didn’t do any die cutting! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Season of Green and Gold specialty DSP to a Mossy Meadow mat and adhered it to the front of a Very Vanilla card base. I adhered a strip of Season of Green and Gold DSP with Gold foil diamonds on the left side with Stampin’ Seal.

I used the pine and oval leaf cluster stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery stamp set to stamp the greenery on the left side and the bottom of the Very Vanilla art panel. These are two step stamps and I used Garden Green for the pine and Old Olive for the oval leaf clusters. For the pine, I stamped the detailed stamp first full strength and stamped off the fuller background stamp on top. For the oval leaf clusters, I stamped the lower part of the leaf clusters full strength first and then stamped off the leaf tops and stamped them second.

I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Versamark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Cherry Cobbler dots and a gold bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped some greenery in the lower right corner using the same techniques as the card front. I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery stamp set has beautiful greenery and bell stamps that are perfect for Christmas cards. And there are dies that coordinate with bundle pricing (10% discount).

Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Just A Note Card

Good Morning! I’ve been away from the craft room for a while, so on my return, I made this simple card with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set and the beautiful Frames and Flowers specialty DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Here are the die cuts from the Frames and Flowers specialty DSP that I used for this card. Note the center of the frame – I used it to stamp the sentiment!

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue. I adhered the oval wreath die cut from the Frames and Flowers specialty DSP to the card front with glue dots.

I adhered the rose trio spray die cut to the oval card with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink on the center wreath DSP and cut it out with a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I traced the outline of the circle die on a Lost Lagoon panel and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I flipped it over and adhered the die cut sentiment with liquid glue.

I folded a length of Petal Pink ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot. I adhered it to the card with a glue dot and adhered the layered label on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with pink pearls. Don’t you love the cane weave embossing with the pretty leaves and flowers?

I did something different for the inside of the card. I adhered the frame from the Frames and Flowers specialty DSP to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. This leaves a little writing area in the center of the panel for a personal message. It’s probably not enough space for a long message, but it’s pretty!

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set has great simple sentiments in different fonts. These are some of the most commonly used sentiments and they go well with any label die. Luckily Stampin’ Up! has lots of new options like the Frames and Flowers specialty DSP to make simple cards. I needed something quick and easy to get my mojo back!

Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery Grateful Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery bundle is a fun set of simple holiday images and sentiments that was released as an Online Exclusive last month. It has themes that are perfect for different Fall and Winter celebrations. Today I paired it with the Iconic Celebrations 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a layered label Grateful card that could be used as a Fall thank you card or for Thanksgiving. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to a Pecan Pie mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. I cut another panel of the DSP with the large label die from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery dies. I used one of the smaller Stylish Shapes circle dies to cut two circles and I adhered the circles and label to the card with liquid glue.

I used the long curved end label die from the Unbounded Love dies to cut a Crumb Cake panel and embossed it with the Timber 3D embossing folder before adhering it to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic Beige and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped four leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on Basic Beige and cut them out with the coordinating die. I adhered them to the card, tucking them under the embossed label. I used the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery dies to cut four small sprigs from Cajun Craze and adhered three under the label and one on top. I finished the card with a Copper Clay Linen Thread (available September 4, 2024) bow and three Garden Green dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Imagery stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink in the top corner of a Basic Beige panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Are you ready for Fall? I’ve had a great summer spending lots of time with our grandkids, but they’re back in school now and we’re headed back to Pennsylvania. I’m still clinging to Summer though and I’m sure that there will still be plenty of hot days ahead before the leaves turn and fall to the ground. So while I’m not ready for Fall yet, I’ll start working on Fall cards, so I’ll be ready when the time comes.

Good Morning! I finally got a chance to make a card with the awesome Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs frame dies and I love them! I used them with my favorite Wildly Flowering designer series paper to make a thank 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 Wildly Flowering designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel with the small hexagon die from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs dies and adhered it to the card. I cut the scalloped frame from Crumb Cake card stock and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set using Early Espresso ink on Basic White. I colored the flowers with the light Moody Mauve, light Boho Blue, cark Crumb Cake and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I make a Crumb Cake bakers twine bow and adhered it to the card with a glue dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set using Versamark Ink on Misty Moonlight and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool. I cut it out with the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two step method (to make it a bit longer) and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set in stamped off Crumb Cake ink in the corner of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I’m so glad I finally used the pretty frames from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle. I love how it turned out and I hope you do too. You can get the beautiful Wildly Flowering DSP at 15% off this month!

Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! One of the new items in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to make a birthday card for today. 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:

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the diamond from the Fun Patterns embossing folders. I adhered it to a Basic White mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake Card base.

I adhered the balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to the card with glue dots and popped the party cat and dog on the card with dimensionals.

I adhered the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack to the card with glue dots along with three hearts. I finished the card with three iridescent faceted gems.

For the Inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I decorated it with more cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack – the banner, cake and another heart. And I finished with a sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. I love how it all coordinates!

The Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack is truly that, with cutouts covering several themes and occasions. These new products are so versatile – you can mix the elements from different packs since they all coordinate (like I did with my sentiments). You can mix them with stamped sentiments or images or other DSP. And they are perfect for quick and easy cards.

Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season with Winter Meadow Christmas Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season stamp set is a set of beautiful sentiments for making Holiday Cards that was released as an Online Exclusive last month, and it is my go to stamp set for Christmas card sentiments. Today I paired it with the beautiful returning Winter Meadow designer series paper for a simple Christmas 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 Winter Meadow DSP to a silver foil mat and wrapped it with silver ribbon, making a bow on the side. I popped it to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel. Since there were two sentiments and I had trouble seeing the Versamark ink, I first stamped the ‘Merry’ and sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and then the ‘Christmas’ underneath. I sprinkled the embossing powder again and shook off all the excess. I heated the sentiments with my heat tool and cut it out with the small diamond from the Wildflower Designs dies.

I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with silver faceted gems.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the pine boughs from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the filler stamp in twice stamped off ink and then the detailed stamp in stamped off ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season stamp set in Garden Green ink and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

A beautiful sentiment on pretty holiday designer series paper makes for a quick Christmas card and the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set is perfect for pretty sentiments. And the beautiful Winter Meadow DSP is 15% off beginning today!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Thanks Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple thank you card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle along with the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I also used the gorgeous Thoughtful Designs specialty DSP for a luxurious background. 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 Designs DSP to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with Stampin’ Seal. Sometimes I’ve seen glue lines when I use liquid glue on specialty DSP, so I didn’t want to take chances and I was extra careful lining it up on the card base. I did use liquid glue to adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ DSP to a Petunia Pop mat – I love these designs with the white wildflowers!

I used the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes dies to cut two flowers from Basic White and adhered them to the panel with dots of liquid glue. I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the panel and made a bow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Versamark Ink on Mossy Meadow and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool. I cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the panel with Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card with dimensionals and finished with three iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I simply trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

There are so many beautiful designs in the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and they all compliment the stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes bundle so perfectly! This makes it so simple to make beautiful cards with different designs! And the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ DSP will be discounted 15% during the DSP sale that starts August 6, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Nests Of Winter for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper to make a Christmas card. This paper will be available with the new September-December Mini Catalog on Sept 4, 2024. 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 Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper to a Pebbled Path mat with liquid glue and wrapped it with Garden Green Linen Thread (available Sept 4, 2024), making a bow. I adhered it to the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals.

I used the dies from the Winterly Tree Tops dies to cut four pine sprigs and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the Linen Thread. I fussy cut a little greenery sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP and adhered to the card with glue dots. I fussy cut a little bird and popped it over the greenery with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiments from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Real Red ink on Gray Granite card stock. I cut it out with the short fat Stylish Shapes banner die, using a two step method – note that I cut it with the left side straight. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished the card with red gems.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I fussy cut another greenery sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP and adhered it to the panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter designer series paper has designs that are great for Christmas cards, but also for Fall and Winter in general. Here’s the DSP:

And here is the pretty Winterly Tree Tops bundle that goes so well with the DSP. Some of the dies will even cut out images in the paper.

All of these new products will be available when the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog is released on Sept 4, 2024.

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.
