Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Masculine Birthday Card

Good Morning! The Country Woods designer series paper has several different wood grain designs that are great for adding a rustic touch to your projects. I’ve used a few of the patterns to make a simple layered masculine birthday card and paired it with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said sentiment stamp set. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Misty Moonlight panel of Country Woods DSP to the front of a Crumb cake card base. Adhere two more panels of the DSP to Early Espresso mats and adhere them to the card front with liquid glue. This gives you a fairly flat card that can easily be mailed.

Stamp the birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Versamark ink on another panel of Country Woods DSP. Since I wanted the sentiment to be short and wide and the stamp is long and skinny, I had to do something different.

  • Ink up the ‘happy’ and stamp it
  • Sprinkle it with white embossing powder and shake off the excess so you can see it
  • Clean off the stamp and ink up the ‘birthday’ and stamp it under the ‘happy’
  • Sprinkle the ‘birthday’ with white embossing powder and shake off the excess
  • Heat set the whole sentiment until the powder is bright and shiny

Adhere the stamped DSP to the left side of an Early espresso mat and tear the right edge to make it more rustic. Wrap the right side with Crumb Cake baker’s twine and tie a knot. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals and finish with a Crumb Cake dot.

Adhere another Misty Moonlight pannel of the country Woods designer series paper to the inside of the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Layering designer series paper on cards is easy when you use coordinating papers from the same designer series paper pack. And there are so many different card sketch ideas on the internet, Pinterest and even the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs to help you find the right layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of a new bundle that is coming out next month – the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty bundle. This bundle is part of the new Brushed with Beauty Suite collection that will be available on November 4, 2025 when the next set of Online Exclusives is released. You can find the currently available card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

This is a simple fun fold where you take a top folding A2 card base (4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″) and cut the front in half and flip the bottom piece 90 degrees. So after scoring and burnishing the main card base, adhere pretty floral panels of the new Brushed With Beauty designer series paper (available Nov 4) to the front flap and inside back panel. Stamp the sentiment in the top right corner of a plain panel of the Brushed With Beauty DSP. I used the fun hello sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. Adhere the stamped DSP to a Crumb Cake panel and adhere it to the front flap with liquid glue.

Cut a Mossy Meadow panel with with leaf sprig die from the new Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White. Stamp the detailed stamp first using full strength ink and then stamp the background stamp using stamped off ink. Cut the flower out with the coordinating die. Stamp the detailed medium flower using stamped off Petal Pink ink on Basic White. Color the inside using the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die.

Cut the large outline flower die from Calypso Coral card stock and the small outline flower die from Petal Pink card stock. Adhere the die cut outline flowers to the stamped flowers using glue dots. Adhere the layered flowers to the card using dimensionals and add Crumb Cake Pearls of Beauty dots (available Nov 4) to the flower centers. Use Linen Thread to make a quadruple loop bow and adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucked under the small flower.

For the inside panel, stamp the background image of the small triple flower from the Stampin’ Up! Petals Of Beauty stamp set using stamped off Petal Pink ink on Basic White. Use the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the centers and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Petals of Beauty bundle is a pretty floral set with two step stamping and dies to cut the stamped images and cardstock. Here is the stamp set and dies that are in the bundle. Note that these come in the new larger Stampin’ Up! packaging. Also, these new plastic packages will be available in packs of 10 for $16 on Nov 4!

And here is the beautiful Brushed with Beauty designer series paper that will also be available.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little sneak peek of some of the new things that will be available in the next Online Exclusives release. Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another super simple card made with the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set and the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper where the pretty DSP does all of the work. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and I let the Beautiful Gallery DSP panel meet the requirements:

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

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

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

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

Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the October Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Giving Thanks” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies with items from the Gathering Together Suite to make a Thanksgiving Day card.

Adhere a plaid panel of Gathering Together specialty designer series paper to the dark side of a two-tone Early Espresso mat and then to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Emboss a Crushed Curry panel with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder and adhere it to the card with liquid glue.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Iconic Imagery stamp set on the light side of a two-tone Cajun Craze panel using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the large label die from the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies. Adhere the panel to the card with liquid glue.

Use the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies to cut a long leaf spring from Granny Apple Green, two berry sprigs from Cajun Craze, an oak leaf cluster from Crumb Cake, an acorn sprig from Pecan Pie and a flower from Crushed Curry. Arrange and adhere the leaves, berries and acorns to the card with glue dots.

Adhere the flower to the card with a dimensional. Tie a knot in a short length of irregular weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with a glue dot, tucking it under the flower. Finish the flower center with Cajun Craze dots.

For the inside, I simply trimmed a Basic White panel with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card With Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful dies make pretty Fall floral arrangements for cards and other projects.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Thanks For Being You Card

Good Morning! The Floral Charm designer series paper is so pretty with florals in lush Fall colors and complimenting designs. I picked a couple of patterns to use with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle to make a simple card to express gratitude and friendship. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Pretty Peacock leafy panel of Floral Charm designer series paper to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with liquid glue. Cut a floral panel of the DSP into three strips and adhere them to a Fresh Freesia mat. Adhere the mat to the card front with dimensionals.

Cut the top part of the leafy sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day dies from Pretty Peacock and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Fold a length of ribbon and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Seal. I used a retired Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon for a touch of glamour, but you could also use the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends to color a white ribbon and use that instead.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set on a Fresh Freesia panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Cut it out using the small oval label die from the pretty Traditional Labels dies and adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside panel, stamp the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set in the corner of a Basic White panel using Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink towards the bottom, leaving room for a DSP trim. Adhere it to the inside of the card.

I can’t decide which of the florals in the Floral Charm designer series paper pack are my favorite, but a simple card design like this is a good way to show off pretty papers. Cutting the floral pattern in thirds adds a little extra interest to the card design without too much complication.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a simple hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set and the pretty Celebration Sips designer series paper. 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:

Adhere a panel of Celebration Sips designer series paper to a Berry Burst card base with liquid glue. Cut another panel of DSP with one of the Textured Notes rectangle dies and adhere it to a Timid Tiger mat. Adhere the layered DSP panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set using Blackberry Bliss ink on Timid Tiger. Cut it out using the Textured Notes die using the two step method so that it is shorter and fits the sentiment.

Use the light Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends marker to color a length of white ribbon. Fold the ribbon and adhere it to the back of the sentiment label with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals and finish with Blackberry Bliss Shimmer Gems.

For the inside, use the small flower dies from the Impressions Abloom dies to cut Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight and Timid Tiger flowers. Use the Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the center and adhere them to a corner of a Basic White panel. Adhere a strip of DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhere it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Simply Said stamp set is my go to set for simple sentiments. They are the most commonly used sentiments and the fonts will go with many different styles.

Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween Card

Good Morning! Are you ready for Halloween? The Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween bundle is such a cute set for Halloween and I’m using it with the Celebratory Sips designer series paper to make a Halloween card. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a strip of Secret Sea Celebratory Sips DSP to a striped Timid Tiger panel with liquid glue and adhere them both to the light side of a Timid Tiger two-tone card stock mat. Adhere the layered DSP to the front of a Timid Tiger card base with liquid glue.

Cut the haunted house from Secret Sea card stock using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween dies. Fussy cut a Daffodil Delight panel to cover the back of the die cut holes and adhere it to the back of the house. Use blending brushes to apply Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Timid Tiger, Berry Burst and Secret Sea inks to a Basic White panel. This makes a simple outdoor sunset background. Stamp the bats in the corner using Secret Sea ink. Adhere the blended panel to a Secret Sea mat and adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Adhere the haunted house to the blended panel with dimensionals. Use the bare tree die from the Loveliest Tree dies to cut an Early Espresso panel and adhere it next to the house. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on Basic White and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes banner die. Adhere the label with dimensionals and finish with tiny white glitter stars.

For the inside panel, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Timid Tiger ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the bats in Secret Sea and adhere DSP to the bottom. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The haunted house from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween dies is just wonderful (along with the rest of the stamps and dies in the great little bundle)! But did you ever think the Celebratory Sips DSP could be used for a Halloween card? The Timid Tiger stripes make a perfect backdrop. And I love to do blended nighttime backgrounds with a haunted house for Halloween card. This one was super simple!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here is a simple Thanksgiving card made with the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Pumpkins bundle and the Gather Together specialty designer series paper. 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:

Adhere a panel of Gather Together specialty designer series paper to the front of a Basic Beige card base with liquid glue.

Stamp the detailed large pumpkin from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Pumpkins stamp set using Basic Beige ink. Stamp the background image using stamped off ink on top of the detailed image. Cut out the pumpkin with the coordinating die. Cut a stem from Crumb Cake card stock using the large stem die and adhere it to the pumpkin. Adhere the pumpkin to the card with dimensionals.

Use the two vine and leaves dies from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Pumpkins dies to cut gold foil and adhere them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. Stamp the first part of the sentiment using Versamark ink on Basic White. Sprinkle it with gold embossing powder and heat set. Cut out the label with the small banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the label to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

For the inside, stamp the small detailed pumpkin from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Pumpkins stamp set using Basic Beige ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. Stamp the background stamp using stamped off Basic Beige ink and the stem using Crumb Cake ink. Cut out a small leaf from gold foil and adhere it to the pumpkin and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Pumpkins bundle is a simple Fall set with pretty two-step stamping pumpkins, sentiments and great dies. In keeping with the CAS theme challenge, I didn’t use any embellishments or ribbon, and it really lets the gold foil shine!

Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Thankful For You Card

Good Morning! Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set used with the pretty Splendid Autumn and Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series papers and the Perennial Postage and Label Me Grateful Dies. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a a panel of Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base. Use the second largest Perennial Postage die to cut a Pecan Pie panel and adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn designer series paper to the front. Adhere the panel to the card with dimensionals.

Use the dies from the Label Me Grateful dies to cut Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry card stock. Fold a length of the fun Irregular Weave ribbon and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Adhere the die cut leaves and acorns to the card with glue dots on top of the ribbon.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cajun Craze and cut it out with the Perennial Postage die. Pop the label on the card using dimensionals.

For the inside panel, trim the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP. Cut another Crushed Curry leaf cluster from Crushed Curry and adhere it to the panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Falling leaves with plaids are perfect for Fall and it’s great to be able to combine designer series papers, stamps and dies from different sets to make cards! Give it a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!
