Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish photopolymer stamp set is such a fun set because of it’s bold simple sentiments – and it’s carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! I used the stamp set with the retiring Flowers & More host designer series paper to make a tag card with a gift card holder inside using the wonderful Mini Pocket Envelope dies. 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 Flowers & More designer series paper to a Starry Sky mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Tahitian Tide card base with dimensionals. I cut a large angled tag from another panel of the DSP using the large angled tag from the Tailored Tags dies.

I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set in Starry Sky and Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White and cut it out with the largest angled Tailored Tags die. I looped Fresh Freesia ribbon through both tags and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I used the pretty flower dies from the Pretty Pillow Box dies to cut a Fresh Freesia flower for the tag and adhered it with glue dots. I finished the card front with In color dots.

I used the Mini Pocket Envelop dies to cut another panel of Flowers & More DSP and made a little pocket for a gift card. I adhered it to the inside of the card and on the opposite side, adhered a Basic White panel trimmed in the same DSP.

I decorated the envelope by stamping ‘hello‘ from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set in Fresh Freesia on the front of the envelope and adhering a DSP panel to the flap.

And I used the retiring Pretty Pillow Box dies to make a little gift box to go with the card – perfect for a couple pieces of chocolate!

The Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set is carrying over in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog along with the Tailor Made Tags dies. Yay!! The Flowers & More designer series paper and the Pretty Pillow Box dies dies are retiring.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Birthday Card

Good Morning! Today I have a simple Masculine Birthday Card made with the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish photopolymer stamp set. I paired it with the In Good Taste designer series paper which I totally love because it has so many textures such as the concrete and elegant dark wood that I used on today’s card. And it’s on sale now for a 15% discount!! Yay!! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used my Stamparatus to help stamp the sentiments on the panel of concrete In Good Taste designer series paper. I wanted an ombre gray look in my sentiments that I achieved with Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Tuxedo Memento Black inks. I lined up the Happy sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set in my Stamparatus so that I could move the plate up the hinges and the words would line up straight. I stamped the bottom Happy in Gray Granite twice and stamped off Memento Tuxedo Black, the middle in Smoky Slate twice and the top one is in stamped off Smoky Slate several times.

I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with black embossing powder. I heat set the embossing powder until it was shiny and it gives me a dark, shiny raised sentiment to finish my ombre effect. I adhered the panel to a Basic Gray mat with liquid glue.

I adhered the dark woodgrain strip of In Good Taste DSP to a Basic Gray Mat so that the mat showed on one side. I adhered the strip to the concrete stamped panel and wrapped it twice with black twine, tying it in a knot to secure it. I added three large Bronze Brushed Metallic dots from the new Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog (available August 3) and popped the panel on the front of an Early Espresso card base.


For the inside of the card, I stamped sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the concrete In Good Taste DSP. I adhered the panel to a Basic Gray mat and then adhered it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish stamp set is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions. And large strong sentiments like the ones in this set are perfect for masculine cards!
