Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match Ephemera Pack Note Cards

Good Morning! Sorry it’s been a while since I posted, I’ve been busy playing with Grandkids, traveling and cleaning. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and put together some quick and fun note cards to slowly get back into the swing. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

The first card is a homage to Tucson, AZ, where we just spent the last few weeks. I embossed a pool Party panel with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White Note Card. I layered it with pieces from the Something For Everything and Labels & Layers ephemera packs – they capture the beauty of the mountains and of course I had to use the saguaro cactus!! And the sentiment is perfect – every day is a good day in the Southwest! I finished with a Copper Clay baker’s twine bow and Faux Glass dots.

My second card is simpler, using the pretty flower and leaves from the Fully Flowering ephemera pack and a simple hello from the Saying Something ephemera pack. I just adhered a panel of Pool Party vellum gingham to a Basic White Note card and adhered everything on top with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished with a loopy linen thread bow and clear Opal Gems.

For my last card, I used a Basic Beige card base and piled on some things on from the Labels & Layers and Something For Everything ephemera packs. Kind of making it look like a messy desk with a throwback typewriter instead of computer. But I don’t really have a bird on my desk, I just thought it was cute. But I love that sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack. I finished with a Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine bow and dots.

All the cards are different and yet since they use Stampin’ Up! Colors, you can easily find ribbons, paper and embellishments to coordinate. There is so much variety in themes and occasions so you can really express your creativity!

The Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match Ephemera Packs first came out in the current Annual Catalog and I’m so happy that they will continue in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog in May. The Fully Flowering and Saying Something ephemera packs will be carried over in the new Annual Catalog and there will be additional new packs, too!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Valentine’s Day Cards

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack is perfect for Valentine’s Day cards. It has so many pretty die cuts that you can combine in different ways to make Valentines and it even has sentiments so you won’t have to do any stamping. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post and I’ve embedded card stock cuts in the description of the cards.

For my first card, I used a Basic White note card for my card base and embossed a 3″ x 4-1/2″ panel of Fresh Freesia with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder. I adhered a 2″ x 4-1/4″ panel of Lemon Lime Twist Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP to the side. I adhered the white lattice and flower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to the card with glue dots. I broke apart a white nested heart and adhered the larger hearts to the card with glue dots. I adhered the tulip die cut heart to a Melon Mambo heart and popped it on the center and finished with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack and three clear dots.

I used leftover Christmas DSP for my next card – a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ panel of Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP adhered to the front of a Real Red 3″ x 3″ card front (3″ x 6″ card base, scored at 3″). I adhered the two large white heart die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue and popped a sentiment on top with dimensionals. I wrapped the fold with Real Red and White baker’s twine and made a bow and finished with three Cherry Cobbler dots. On the inside I adhered a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel.

I scored and burnished a 3″ x 6″ panel of Pretty In Pink card stock for my next 3″ x 3″ card. I cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel with the second largest Stylish Shapes square die and applied Pretty In Pink ink with a blending brush. I adhered a floral stem from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack with glue dots and the heart and sentiment with dimensionals. I finished the card with Berry Burst tinsel gems and adhered a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White panel to the inside.

The last card uses a 3″ x 6″ panel of Thick Basic White, scored and burnished at 3″. I die cut a circle from a 2-2/4″ x 2-3/4″ panel of Basic White and applied Granny Apple Green ink with a blending brush. I adhered two white tulip die cuts from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack to two real red hearts and adhered them to the card with glue dots. I popped a little floral spray to the bottom with dimensionals and adhered a sentiment with glue dots. I finished with Old Olive faux glass dots.

I like the 3″ x 3″ card size and there are lots of resources online for making envelopes or purchasing them if you need. Of course you can also make the standard 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card size using the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love ephemera pack.

The cutouts in the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are so pretty and I love that they come in so many different color palettes! It’s fun to combine the pretty die cuts with each other and other items in your stash and arrange them on your cards. And it’s a quick and easy (and fun) way to make several pretty Valentines.

Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! One of the new items in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to make a birthday card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week:

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the diamond from the Fun Patterns embossing folders. I adhered it to a Basic White mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake Card base.

I adhered the balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to the card with glue dots and popped the party cat and dog on the card with dimensionals.

I adhered the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack to the card with glue dots along with three hearts. I finished the card with three iridescent faceted gems.

For the Inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I decorated it with more cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack – the banner, cake and another heart. And I finished with a sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. I love how it all coordinates!

The Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack is truly that, with cutouts covering several themes and occasions. These new products are so versatile – you can mix the elements from different packs since they all coordinate (like I did with my sentiments). You can mix them with stamped sentiments or images or other DSP. And they are perfect for quick and easy cards.
