Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Love Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow cling stamp set and Meadows dies are favorites with sweet sentiments, pretty flowers and gorgeous floral dies. I paired the stamps and dies with the new Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a fresh take on these favorites. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat and popped it on the front of a Calypso Coral card base.

I used the fern die from the Meadows dies to cut a Lost Lagoon panel and I used the flower die to cut a Petal Pink panel. I adhered the die cut fern to the card with dots of liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Lost Lagoon card stock and cut it out with the little tag die.

I looped a length of Linen Thread through the tag and tied it to the die cut flower stem. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots on the stem and dimensionals on the flower. I secured the little tag with a dimensional and finished the card front with Pastel Iridescent Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Petal Pink ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I inked the spatter stamp with Lost Lagoon ink and stamped off twice before stamping over the flower. I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The wildflowers in the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper go great with the die cut flowers from the Meadows dies and I love it when new products go so well with old favorites! I also stamped the side of a Basic White with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow flowers to match the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements Thank You Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is a great little flora bundle with wonderful sentiments to express gratitude and love. It has the sweetest label dies and is perfectly designed to surround a sentiment label with a spray of flowers and greenery. I paired the bundle with a dainty floral print from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper pack for a simple Thank You card for my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to an Old Olive mat and cut a circle from polka dot vellum with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the vellum to the panel with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements photopolymer stamp set in Old Olive ink on Basic White and cut it out with the smallest label die.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I colored it with light Bubble Bath and light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the flower to the back of the label with a glue dot.

I cut the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements dies from Old Olive and adhered it to the back of the label with glue dots. I adhered a bow made with the Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon to the panel with a glue dot and adhered the layered label on top with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the front of a Bubble Bath card base and finished it with three tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the circles in Bubble Bath ink around the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements bundle is perfect for making beautifully framed sentiments, but it’s also great for a simple embellishment to make a sentiment extra special.

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Birthday Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple birthday card using the cute raccoon from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Emboss a panel of Pool Party card stock with the large polka dots from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. These embossing folders can only be found in the Online Store, so don’t worry about not finding them in the new catalog. Adhere the embossed panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with liquid glue.

Cut a fishtail banner in the bottom of a strip of Zoo Crew designer series paper with paper snips and color the flowers and leaves with Stampin’ Blends – light Petal Pink for the flower petals, light Lemon Lolly for the flower centers and light Granny Apple Green for the leaves. With a blending brush, apply Pool Party ink to the background and adhere it to the card front with liquid glue. Cut the small banner from the Nested Essentials dies from Petal Pink and adhere it with liquid glue. Cut the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo dies from Lemon Lolly and adhere it to the small banner. Make a bow from black and white Gingham ribbon and adhere it to the card with a glue dot.

Stamp the cute raccoon and balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. Color the raccoon with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends and the balloons with dark Pool Party, dark Lemon Lime Twist, dark Lemon Lolly and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the sentiment on Basic White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out the circle with the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere the circle to the card with liquid glue and pop the raccoon and balloons on the card with dimensionals. Finish with three small black dots.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. Stamp the confetti in Memento Tuxedo Black and color it with Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Pool Party and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. Color a strip of Zoo Crew DSP like the front banner and adhere it to the panel before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The little critters from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle are so cute and perfect for birthdays.

Join me for a Facebook Live This Afternoon!

I’ll be going live on my Facebook Business Page this afternoon to make a simple Thank You card with the pretty Timeless Arrangements bundle. I hope you can join me at 1:00 ET today!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Hip Hip Hooray for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another card using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle. This time I used the festive Golden Celebrations acetate to decorate my balloon and used the fun tag die with the Good Feelings cling stamp set. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week, and it’s a fun one:

I stamped the medium balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set all over a Basic White panel using stamped off Azure Afternoon, stamped off Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly inks. I adhered the stamped panel to a Berry Burst mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of ann Azure Afternoon card base with dimensionals.

I cut an Azure Afternoon panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the tag die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons dies and cut a Basic White panel with the same die. I stamped the sentiments from the Good Feelings cling stamp set in Berry Burst and Azure Afternoon on the Basic White tag and adhered the DSP tag to the back. I looped Sweet Sorbet, Starry Sky and Parakeet Party metallic ribbons through the tag hole.

I used an adhesive sheet to adhere a panel of Golden Celebrations specialty acetate to an Azure Afternoon card stock panel and cut the layered panel with the large solid die from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons dies. I adhered a length of gold cord to the card front with glue dots and adhered the balloon to the card with dimensionals. I adhered the layered tag to the card with dimensionals and finished the card with gold sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped the medium balloon in Lemon Lime Twist and the balloon cord in Smoky Slate ink. I cut the bottom of the panel with the confetti die twice and adhered the panel to a Berry Burst mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The fun Gold Celebrations acetate make the balloon so shiny and fun! And the confetti die cuts on the tag and the inside panel are perfect for the Hop’s Celebrate theme.

On with the Hop! Click on the Next Blog button to move forward to see the beautiful project Karen Ksenzakovic has created.

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle is such a special set, with both beautiful stamped and die cut flowers that are so artistic! Today’s card is inspired by a package that is in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, but I made it into a card using the beautiful Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper. 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 striped Vellum Basics to a panel of Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper with Stampin’ Seal, and adhered it to the front of a Boho Blue card base. I cut the large triple flower die from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies dies from a Copper Clay panel and cut each of the background flower dies from Boho Blue. I adhered the Boho Blue die cuts to the back of the large Copper Clay die cut with liquid glue. I cut each of the small detailed flower dies from Basic White and used a Blending Brush to apply Copper Clay ink to the centers – be careful as a little ink goes a long way with this intense color.

I adhered the colored detailed flower dies to the top of the Copper Clay die cut with liquid glue. I cut three of the branch sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies dies from Crushed Curry card stock and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I adhered the layered die cut flower on top with dimensionals. I stamped six leaves in Crushed Curry ink on Basic White and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Boho Blue ink on Basic White and cut it out with the label die. I cut a length of Boho Blue ribbon in half and made a loopy bow. I adhered the bow to the card with a glue dot and adhered the label on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with Boho Blue In Color dots – love the shine they have!!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little flower cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamp set in stamped off Boho Blue ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I used a light Copper Clay Stampin’ Blend to color the flower centers and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love these daisy flower die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies bundle!! But the stamped flowers are pretty too, so I think I need to focus on stamping some daisies for my next daisy card. Earlier today, I drove past a house that had a huge bed of daisies blooming! It was such a welcome sight after a dreary winter. I didn’t realize that they bloomed this early, but the good news is that we’ll be able to enjoy them all Summer!

Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Hugs Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You bundle is such a fun set for all kinds of crafters! With stamps and dies for all kinds of crafting, you can make so many different cards with crafting themes! I chose the papercrafting theme for my first card using this fun bundle with a paper trimmer, cut and emboss machine and even a finished card! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of Lemon Lolly card stock with the cross hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders. I adhered it to the bottom of a Bright and Beautiful designer series paper panel and adhered it to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. I used the paper trimmer die from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You dies to cut a Gray Granite panel for the main trimmer and a small Basic Black panel for the trimmer blade. I slipped a panel of Bright and Beautiful DSP into the trimmer and adhered it with some liquid glue. I adhered the die cut trimmer blade with a glue dot. I cut a panel of Azure Afternoon with the ruler die and adhered the ruler and paper trimmer to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the cut & emboss machine from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I colored the gray sections with the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped it on the card with dimensionals. I cut three 1″ x 1″ panels of Bright and Beautiful DSP and adhered them to the card with liquid glue. For the last panel, I colored the small flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set with the Lost Lagoon and Berry Burst Stampin’ Write markers and stamped multiple times, re-inking each time, on a small Basic White panel. I cut out a 1″ x 1″ square and adhered it to the card and cut another one out with the coordinating die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Lost Lagoon panel and trimmed the corners with the Very Best Trio punch. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the heart on the inside of the scored Bright and Beautiful DSP mini card and adhered the die cut flower to the front with a glue dot. I adhered the card next to the label with a glue dots and wrapped the card front with linen thread twice and made a bow. I finished by scattering some Lemon Lolly faceted dots around the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon on a Basic White panel. I stamped the heart three times in stamped off Berry Burst ink and trimmed the bottom with the Bright and Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You bundle since I’ve been crafting since I was a little girl and this bundle captures so many different crafts – sewing, knitting, embroidery, painting and cardmaking. It brings back so many memories of good times!

Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart Baby Card

Happy Mother’s Day! I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart cling stamp set to make a quick card for a new Mom. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I went with a monotone theme in Misty Moonlight, so I adhered a panel of Misty Moonlight Bright and Beautiful designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue.

I used a blending brush to apply Misty Moonlight ink to a Basic White panel and stamped the pretty Mom from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart cling stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink. I adhered the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and wrapped a length of white baker’s twine around the panel and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White and punched the bottom with the Banners Pick A Punch. I trimmed the top and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I colored a small clear rhinestone with the light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend and adhered it to the label to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I inked the spatter stamp and stamped off before stamping around the sentiment. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sweet images from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set perfectly capture a mother’s love. And the sentiments are wonderful too. One of the nice things about the stamped images is that they are beautiful without additional coloring, so it’s a perfect set for a handmade card when you’re short on time.

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo with Happy Hedgehogs Friendship Card

Good Morning! See you later alligator! I used the cute alligator from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo bundle and I wanted to make a little park scene for him to ride his bike. The Happy Hedgehogs stamp set was perfect! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the trees from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White, along with some tufts of grass. I colored the scene with Stampin’ Blends – light Flirty Flamingo for the flowers, light Pecan Pie for the tree trunks and light Granny Apple Green for the leaves and grass. I used blending brushes to apply Granny Apple Green ink to the ground and Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon inks to the sky. I adhered a strip of Smoky Slate card stock to the bottom and cut it out with the third largest Deckled Rectangle die.

I adhered a strip of Zoo Crew designer series paper to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base. I wrapped it with Lemon Lime Twist ribbon and tied a loopy bow on the side. I adhered the scene to a Basic Black mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo dies to cut the alligator from the Zoo Crew DSP. I cut another one from Basic White card stock and adhered them together with liquid glue – it makes the die cut thicker. i colored the die cut with Stampin’ Blends – light Azure Afternoon for the bike, dark Smoky Slate for the seat and tires, both Crumb Cakes for the basket and light Lost Lagoon for the leaves. I popped the alligator on the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the butterfly from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I cut the panel out with the third largest Deckled Rectangles die. I adhered a panel of Zoo Crew DSP to the inside of the card with liquid glue and adhered the die cut panel on top with liquid glue.

The Happy Hedgehogs tree is perfect for Spring. Isn’t riding a bike in the park the perfect Spring afternoon activity? Especially if you are a Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo alligator!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another card using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle. I used the large balloon with the Charming Sentiments stamp set and Bright and Beautiful designer series paper for a Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop this week, and here’s the pretty sketch we’re using:

I adhered a striped panel of Bright and Beautiful designer series paper to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered another panel with little dots to a Fresh Freesia mat and adhered it to the card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the speckles for the large balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons photopolymer stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White. I stamped the large solid balloon in Bubble Bath over the speckles and cut the balloon with the coordinating die. I cut a tassel from Fresh Freesia card stock and colored a length of white Baker’s Twine with a dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the twine and tassel to the card with glue dots and popped the balloon on with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with pink iridescent sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the medium balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Bubble Bath ink and stamped the strings in Smoky Slate. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia are so pretty together! The colors are so soft and I love how they layered to make the large balloon from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “For the Men/Boys” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set to make a masculine birthday card for our hop!

The Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set is one of the returning favorite stamp sets in the new catalog. I combined it with the pretty Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper and some of the new 2023-2025 In Colors for a rugged outdoors look. 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 Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pebbled Path card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on the top of another Fresh As A Daisy DSP panel. I stamped the trees from the Grassy Grove stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on the side of the panel and adhered the panel to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the wolf from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Gray Granite panel and stamped the plant in Wild Wheat. I cut the image out with the second smallest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to a Wild Wheat mat with liquid glue. I adhered a short length of Wild Wheat ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the wolf panel over it using dimensionals. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Pebbled Path ink ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the plant next to the sentiment in Wild Wheat and adhered the panel to a Wild Wheat mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

If you look closely at the Fresh As A Daisy designer series paper, you will see that on the back of the pretty florals is a gentle brush stroke texture pattern that is great for subtle backgrounds and masculine cards.
