Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies bundle has beautiful lilies, both stamped and die cut. I used the gorgeous stamped flowers with the inspirational sentiments to make an Easter card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Lemon Lolly panel with the beautiful Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Lemon Lolly card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the large rectangular die from the Thoughtful Expressions dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the flowers, buds and stems from the Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I colored the flower centers with Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends and the stems and leaves with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the stem, buds and small flower to the card with glue dots and popped the large flower on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. I sprinkled it with silver 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 small rectangular die from the Thoughtful Expressions dies. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots and finished the card with a Lemon Lolly bow and sparkling gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the palm fronds from the Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies stamp set in stamped-off Granny Apple Green ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment inn Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies bundle are great for Easter cards, especially with the beautiful, inspirational sentiments. And they are also perfect for other lilies like the fragrant pink Stargazers, or even summer Day Lilies. So these are a must have if you are a lily lover!

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the sweet sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set with the pretty Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a miss you card for a friend who is moving or taking another job. 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 embossed a panel of Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder and used a sponge dauber to gently apply Old Olive ink to the embossed DSP. This accents the raised edges and tones down the brassiness of the Granny Apple Green background.

I adhered the embossed panel to a pretty meadow scene panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP before adhering the layered panel to a Balmy Blue mat.I adhered the panel to the front of an Old Olive card base with dimensionals. I adhered a short length of ribbon to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set using Old Olive ink on Daffodil Delight card stock. I cut the label out with the Stylish Shapes banner die using the two step die cutting technique and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished with three brass swallow embellishments.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set using Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of DSP to the side before adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Don’t the scenes from the Meandering Meadows DSP make you excited for spring? They are so pretty and the small sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set are perfectly sized and don’t distract from the landscape. And the pretty brass embellishments are perfect final touch!

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Card

Good Morning! I’ve been busy with cleaning out my craft room and organizing my supplies. This seems to be never ending, but I did manage to make a quick card with the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle. I am CASE’ing a card from the Mini Catalog, but with so much of a mess, I was inspired to combine the old with the new and pair the new bundle with the Countryside Inn designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

The Countryside Inn Suite in the Annual Catalog is such a pretty set of products, and there are so many different floral and graphic patterns in the DSP, so I thought it would be great with a layered postage stamp card. I started by embossing a Boho Blue panel with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to a Boho Blue mat. I popped it on a Boho Blue card base with dimensionals.

I cut several different squares and rectangles of the Countryside Inn designer series paper using the large square and a couple of the rectangle dies from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies. I tried to replicate the pattern in the catalog, but I had to change it up, so that it looked right to me. And then I wanted to make sure I got the bunny in there above where I wanted to put the label. I laid them all out and then took a picture and adhered them with liquid glue. And then I changed the arrangement from my picture, but the bunny is in the right place.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with one of the rectangle postage stamp dies. I used the two step method, so it’s just a little longer, but it’s so easy to do with these dies. I adhered some Boho Blue ribbon with some Stampin’ Seal and popped the label on top with dimensionals. I finished with three Misty Moonlight tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and stems from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Night of Navy and Boho Blue on a Basic White panel. They go so nicely with the Countryside Inn designer series paper. I cut the edge of a strip of DSP with the second largest postage square rectangle from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies and adhered it to the the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how easy it is to combine two pretty Stampin’ Up! suites and make a card. The Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage dies are so versatile!

Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies Card

Good Morning! If you’re like me, you can’t wait for the cold weather to be over and Spring to arrive. Well I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to help me focus on Spring. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party Card base. I used the cloud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut some clouds from the cloud pattern DSP and arranged them on the card. I trimmed the sides of two of the clouds and adhered the large cloud to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sun from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set tin Daffodil Delight on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die – it’s a little tricky to line up, so be patient. I cut the circle from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered it to the center before adhering the sun to the card. I adhered the smaller clouds to the card with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut the tulips and stems from Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green card stock and adhered them to the card with liquid glue and dimensionals.

I tore the top of a Shaded Spruce strip and adhered it to the bottom of the card to simulate grass (shout out to old school techniques!). I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and punched the end with the Banners Pick-A-Punch. I adhered the label with dimensionals and finished with fun Pool Party lightning bolts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Poppy Parade and the stem in Granny Apple Green in the bottom corner of a Basic White card base. I trimmed the top of the panel with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle – it has so many Spring stamps and dies and happy sentiments. And it really goes well with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. Are you ready for the brighter skies of Spring?

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle is one of my favorites in the new Mini Catalog and I used it with the pretty Softly Stippled Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to make a simple thank you card. 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:

I embossed a panel of Pebbled Path card stock with the pretty Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pebbled Path card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Softly Stippled DSP to the card with liquid glue.

I adhered another panel of Softly Stippled DSP to a Pebbled Path mat and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I wrapped a length of Pebbled Path ribbon around the card front and tied a knot.I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small rectangle from the Everyday Details dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the small rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the top leaf cluster from the large leaf stamp in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I trimmed the bottom and adhered it to the back of the die cut rose with glue dots. I adhered the flower to the card with dimensionals and finished with three clear sparkle gems.

I kept the inside of the card simple, just trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the roses in the Softly Stippled designer series paper coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle. The flowers are so realistic and go well in a monotone design.

Stampin’ Up! February Paper Pumpkin Kit – Sweet Springtime

Good Friday Morning! I just received my February Paper Pumpkin kit last weekend and put together some of the cards and treat boxes. The weather has been so cold and snowy this week, so playing with Springtime designs was a nice treat. I made the projects pretty much as designed:

Here’s the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit unboxing video from the Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel. It shows the kit contents and steps for making the projects according to directions – they are so pretty!

The first card is a pretty slimline design with pretty flowers and cute baby chics. I did change it up by stamping the sentiment in Berry Burst rather than using the included Early Espresso Stampin’ Spot.

The second card has a sweet pair of bunnies and daffodils. I adhered my frame with pieces of dimensionals rather than glue dots, but otherwise made it per instructions. Aren’t those bunnies sweet?

The last project is a cute milk carton style treat box. This is a pretty large box and will hold plenty of jelly beans or chocolate eggs and the bunny and chick are just right for Easter!

The stamp set that is included has pretty sentiments and a sweet bunny and chick:

Such a pretty kit with cheerful colors! And I’m looking forward to next month’s kit.

The March Paper Pumpkin Kit is Memorable Meadows!

The March Paper Pumpkin Kit Includes:

Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes
Precut vellum pieces & wood embellishments
Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Spot

Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say Card

Good Morning! Here’s a cheerful Get Well card using the wonderful word dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies and the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party Card base and another strip to the back panel of this simple fun fold.

I used adhesive sheets on the back of a Poppy Parade panel and cut the detailed word die from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies. With the adhesive sheet, I went back and forth in my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine a couple of times to make sure it cut all the way through since the die has fine details. I cut the background die from Basic White and peeled the adhesive backing off and adhered the die cut words together. I popped the words on the card front with a little part hanging over the front flap.

I make a knot in a length of black and white gingham ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot. I finished the card front with black matte dots.

For the inside of the card, I cut the flower and stem from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies and adhered them to a Basic White panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal leaving a little Pool Party border with the DSP.

Unfortunately, no stamping on this card, but I love word dies and the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say die set is one of the best. And the pretty Sale-A-Bration Sunny Days DSP is sure to bring cheer to someone under the weather.

Stampin’ Up! Cradled In Love Baby Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cradled In Love stamp set is a sweet Sale-A-Bration stamp set that you can get for free with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration. It has a sweet crib image and beautiful sentiments and is perfect for baby cards. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Bubble Bath card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the crib, mobile and rug from the Stampin’ Up! Cradled In Love stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White and colored it in Stampin’ Blends. I used the light Crumb Cake, light and dark Bubble Bath, light Lemon Lolly, light Fresh Freesia, and light Balmy Blue blends to color the crib and light Lost Lagoon to color the rug. I used the Color lifter to lighten the rug and add texture. I cut the image out with a Deckled Circle die and used the next larger die to cut a Lost Lagoon panel for a mat. I adhered the circles together with liquid glue and trimmed the side with my paper trimmer.

I adhered the trimmed circle to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cradled In Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon on Petal Pink. I used a Deckled Rectangle die to cut it down to size (cutting it twice) and wrapped white Baker’s Twine around the end, making a bow. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and finished with rainbow dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cradled in Love stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I stamped the elephant and bottle in Smoky Slate and colored them with Light Bubble Bath, light Balmy Bleu and light Crumb cake Stampin’ Blends. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t this a sweet cradle? The Stampin’ Up! Cradled In Love stamp set has cute sentiments that are appropriate for baby girls and boys. And it’s perfect for mixing and matching with other baby stamp sets.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

Good Friday Morning! With the long weekend coming up I wanted to share a quick card using the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle and the beautiful Perennial Lavender designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Perennial Lavender designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage stamp set in Starry Sky ink on a Fresh Freesia panel and cut it out with the third smallest rectangle postage stamp die.

I made a loopy bow with the pretty Orchid Oasis Metallic ribbon and adhered it to the back of the label and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I adhered a couple of purple shimmer gems to finish the card front.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sprig from the Painted Lavender stamp set in Shaded Spruce on a Basic White panel. I stamped the butterfly in Starry Sky and colored it with a light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The lovely patterns in the Perennial Lavender DSP makes it easy and quick to make a pretty card. And the great sentiments and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage bundle are the perfect pairing. Enjoy the weekend!
