Stampin’ Up! Round We Go Celebrate Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle is such a fun set that includes a die to make a 3D rosette and other fun circle themed stamps and dies. And it also includes great sentiments in an energetic fun font that are perfect for any kind of celebration, including birthdays. I made a general purpose celebrate card that could be used for any fun occasion. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. I cut another panel with the 3D rosette die from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go dies twice, lining up the DSP design so it would be similar all around. I folded the rosettes on the score lines and adhered the end tabs of the rosette die cuts to the underside of the opposite rosette die cut using liquid glue. I flattened the rosette and used lots of liquid glue to adhere it to an Azure Afternoon die cut scalloped circle.

I used the curved edge petal die from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go dies to cut two Azure Afternoon and one Bubble Bath petals. I used the angle edge petal die to cut a Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist petals. I adhered one of the Azure Afternoon petals to the rosette with liquid glue and the other to the Lemon Lime Twist petal. I adhered the Bubble Bath petal to the Berry Burst Petal. I finished the rosette with a medium circle cut from Pretty Peacock. I arranged the rosette and petal circles on the card and adhered them with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the long skinny die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I used Rainbow gems in each circle and scattered some more around the card front.

For the inside of the card I stamped the angle petal from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set in Azure Afternoon on a Basic White panel. I rotated the stamp and stamped again between each petal. I cut a small Lemon Lime Twist circle for the center. I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle is so fun and happy and perfect for lighthearted, whimsical cards for any occasion. There are so many different ways to combine the die cuts and stamped circle images, you could keep yourself (or your kids) busy for hours playing with different ideas and colors.

Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day stamp set is a fun photopolymer stamp set with the best sentiments and cheerful images. I used it with the colorful Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Countryside Corners dies for today’s 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 Bright and Beautiful designer series paper to a Lemon Lime Twist card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day stamp set using Versamark ink on a panel of Bright and Beautiful DSP 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 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners dies. I cut a Blueberry Bushel panel with the next largest size die and adhered the label to the Blueberry Bushel die cut. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the dragonfly outline from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink three times on Basic White. I used the wing filler stamps to color the wings, using Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist, and Berry Burst and Bubble Bath inks. I love those dotted wing filler stamps! I fussy cut the dragonflies with my paper snips and adhered them to the card with dimensionals and glue dots.

I decorated the space around the dragonflies with colorful small sequins and used Lemon Lolly baker’s twine to wrap around the top and tie a bow.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sun and sun rays from the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day stamp set in daffodil Delight ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I used a Blending Brush to apply Lemon Lolly ink around the sun and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t that sentiment the best! The Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day stamp set is perfect for making cheerful, happy cards that make people smile.

Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses Birthday Card

The Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horse bundle is such a cute set with stamps and dies you can use to make a pretty carousel. I used it to make a sweet birthday card with rainbow ponies and lots of pink sparkle! Plus, it’s a simple fun fold! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Berry Burst panel. I adhered a 2-1/2″ wide mini card base to the layered panel with liquid glue and adhered another panel of DSP to the front. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest scalloped contours die and adhered another panel of DSP to the center.

I cut the main carousel from Melon Mambo using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses dies. I used the die again to cut the top two cutouts from Bubble Bath shimmer paper and cut the trim from Rose Gold iridescent foil. I adhered the post and base to the scalloped rectangle with glue dots and the shimmer paper with dimensionals.

I stamped the horses from the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I stamped the saddle details in Berry Burst and colored the backgroundof the saddle with the light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend. I colored the manes and tales with lighht Melon Mambo, light Granny Apple Green, dark Lemon Lolly and light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends for a rainbow pony look. I adhered the ponies to the panel with glue dots and adhered the top foil decoration with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the mini card front with liquid glue and finished it with silver pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a Basic White panel. I cut some balloons using the Zany Zoo balloon die from Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia and Bubble bath and adhered them to the corner. I drew some strings with a Basic Gray Stampin’ Write marker and adhered the panel to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal.

The ponies in the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses bundle are just as pretty as Unicorns and are sure to delight a little girl on her birthday. And even better, you can really ride carousel horses!!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Sending dies are a wonderful set for floral cards for any occasion. I used them to make a love and hugs friendship card with the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for today. 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:

I used liquid glue to adhere a panel of Bright and Beautiful designer series paper to a Blueberry Bushel mat and popped it on the front of an Azure Afternoon card base. I cut another panel of the DSP with the 5th largest Deckled Rectangles die and adhered it to another Blueberry Bushed mat.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White and stamped the centers in Lemon Lime Twist. I stamped the large stem and leaves in Pretty Peacock and cut them all out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the small panel with glue dots and dimensionals and popped the panel onto the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the small sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on Lemon Lime Twist and cut it out with the short label die. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I applied adhesive strips behind a strip of Blueberry Bushel and cut the detailed ‘Sending’ word out with the dies. I used another strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to cut the background work out and adhered the word to the background. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with a Lemon Lime Twist bow and Bubble Bath sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set in Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist in corner of a Basic White panel. I covered it with a mask and stamped the stem and leaves in Pretty Peacock. I adhered the panel to a Blueberry bushel mat before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

There are so many sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and the two label dies in the Sending dies are a perfect fit.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements with Paper Florist Card

Good Morning! I finally pulled out my Paper Florist dies and used them with the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set to make a simple card thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White strip. I embossed the strip with the Stripes 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat. I adhered the layered panel to a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with liquid glue and adhered it to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base.

I cut 4 of the four petal flower dies from Balmy Blue card stock, giving me 8 large petal clusters and 8 small petal cluster. I cut centers for the flowers from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered them with liquid glue. See the picture below for the dies I used.

I made each flower by using 4 of the same size petal clusters. I adhered each layer with a small dot of liquid glue and rotated it to offset the petals. Last, I adhered the flower center with a dot of liquid glue.

I used a large flower and two small flowers for today’s card and I saved the extra die cuts for a future project. I adhered each flower with glue dots. I didn’t use any dimensionals on the card, but the layers of flower petals gives the card texture and dimension, so I didn’t even add extra embellishments!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Balmy Blue on Basic White. I stamped the leaf sprig in Granny Apple Green and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Paper Florist dies are so much fun to play with because you use any kind of paper and any color. There are co many different petals, leaves and centers to play and experiment with and the possibilities are endless. I chose to start simple and was thinking about Forget-Me-Nots, but I chose the wrong petal shape. Even so, the flowers still came out beautiful and the simple arrangement with the pretty DSP worked out pretty well. And of course the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Arrangements stamp set worked out perfect!

Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are the perfect anecdote for a hot summer day, and I chose a chocolate shake, my favorite, for today’s card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a yummy theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I cut a strip of Bubble Bath with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contours dies and embossed it with the stripe embossing folder from the Stripes and Spatters 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the side of a Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and adhered the layered panel to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base. I embossed an Bubble Bath panel with the stripe embossing folder. I cut a Basic White panel with the third largest scalloped rectangle die and adhered the embossed panel to the inside. I adhered the rectangle to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the glass from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White (stamp the detailed stamp first and stamp off the filler stamp before stamping over the detailed image). I cut the glass out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the shake top in Crumb Cake and the cherry and straws in Real Red. I cut these out with the coordinating dies and cut a little whipped cream from Basic White. I adhered the pieces together with glue dots and adhered the top to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Versamark ink on Azure Afternoon and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Cheerful Daisies dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the Cherry in real Red and the hearts in Bubble Bath and adhered a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Share A Milkshake stamp set and dies are fun way to celebrate summer and send summer greetings to friends and family. And as a bonus, they are calorie free, don’t melt in the heat, and won’t give you brain freeze. Now I’m ready for some ice cream!

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.

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! 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.
