Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Smile Card

Good Morning! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Sale-A-Bration bundle with the sentiments from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set to make a dainty, sweet smile card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World designer series paper with the angled scalloped edge die from the Basic Borders die and I cut a slightly longer panel of Basic White with the same die. I adhered the die cuts together and wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet shimmer ribbon around the panels and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Blushing Bride card base.

I stamped a Basic White panel with the sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven photopolymer stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. The sweet font in these sentiments go so well with the floral designs in the DSP! I cut the sentiment with the smallest Scalloped Contours die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I cut a Fresh Freesia panel with the small detailed butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies and adhered it to the label with a glue dot. The butterfly is the perfect accent to the pretty flowers in the background! I finished the card front with three Fine Sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set in Blackberry Bliss on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World cling stamp set next to the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz and I used my Stamparatus with Polished Pink and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers to stamp the flower in the lower corner. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World bundle is a pretty cling stamp set with coordinating designer series paper that is free with a $100 order (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-A-Bration. It coordinates well with other Stampin’ Up! sets like the Hydrangea Haven stamp set that I used for the sentiments in today’s card.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Love Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow bundle is a gorgeous bundle with die cut wildflowers and botanical floral stamps. With simple sentiments, this bundle can be used for many occasions and artistic styles. My card today uses some simple layered die cut ferns to send love for any occasion! 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 Misty Moonlight Pattern Party designer series paper to a Basic White mat and then adhered both to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base. I used the largest fancy Tailor Made Tag die to cut a tag from Basic White and adhered a reinforcer made from Misty Moonlight to the hole. I looped some Fine Art and Misty Moonlight cotton ribbon through it and tied it off with a Linen Thread bow. I adhered the tag to the card front with dimensionals.

I used the fern die from the Meadows dies in the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow bundle to cut a panels of Misty Moonlight card stock and Misty Moonlight Beauty of the Earth DSP. I adhered the DSP die cut to the top of the card stock die cut with glue dots, offsetting them slightly. I adhered the layered die cuts to the tag front with glue dots. I cut the smallest detailed butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies from light blue Ombre specialty paper and adhered it to the tag with glue dots. I finished it with two polished dots.

I stamped the Love sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow cling stamp set in Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was shiny. I cut it out with the little tag die from the Meadow dies and tied a linen thread bow in the top before adhering it with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Misty Moonlight on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower in twice stamped off Misty Moonlight ink next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with Pattern Party DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow bundle is beautiful and it’s currently part of the Savings in Bloom promotion for a 20% discount! Yay!! Fortunately, the stamp set and dies will be carried over in the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog, but it will no longer be available as a bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Friendship Card

Good morning! Today I’m sharing a simple friendship card made with the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments cling stamp set and the wonderful Brilliant Wings dies. And my background is from the pretty Pansy Petals designer series paper pack! 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 Pansy Petals designer series paper to an Evening Evergreen mat and popped it on to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base with dimensionals.

I cut out the butterfly from Pale Papaya Shimmer vellum with the Brilliant Wings dies and adhered it to the card front with glue dots, leaving room for the label. I added Pale Papaya jewels to the body for extra sparkle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Pale Papaya panel and punched the ends with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. I adhered a strip of Pale Papaya gingham DSP to the card front and popped the label on top with dimensionals.


For the inside of the card, stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White panel and adhered a panel of Pansy Patch DSP to the side. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The new In Color Shimmer Vellum is beautiful and make amazing die cut butterflies with the Brilliant Wings dies. And the wonderful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set go beautifully with everything.

We’ll be heading home tomorrow after three weeks in sunny Tucson. It’s been great to see the grandkids again, but I’m eager to get back to stamping and blogging on a regular basis!
