Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Thank You Card

Good Morning! Here’s another sneak peek of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle, but instead of using the pretty stamped roses images, I used the die cuts and combined them with the retiring Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ 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 strip of Garden Walk designer series paper to the side of a floral panel and adhered the layered DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat. I adhered the panel to the front of a Poppy Parade card base with dimensionals.

I used the largest rectangle from the Nested Essentials dies to cut a Pretty Peacock panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses cling stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel and cut it out with the second largest rectangle die from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered the die cuts together with liquid glue.

I cut a Wild Wheat panel with the long leaf cluster die from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses dies twice and cut the flowers twice from a Poppy Parade panel. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots and adhered the flowers on top. I added small white dots for the flower centers and iridescent gemstones around the flower cluster to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the flowers and leaves to the top corner. I trimmed the flowers and leaves and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The die cuts give a different, more casual look to the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle and it goes well with lots of different papers. The bundle will be available on Jan 4, 2024 when the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog goes live. Here’s a picture of the bundle. Aren’t the sentiments beautiful?

Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Christmas Thank You Cards

Good Morning! Since most of my Christmas cards are done and being sent out, it’s time to work on some thank you cards. I pulled out some Basic White note cards and envelopes and the pretty Thank You sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings cling stamp set. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I also used the pretty Perennial Postage dies (available Jan 4, 2024) from the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog to die cut leftover Christmas designer series paper. The dies are the perfect size for the note cards and a good way to finish off pretty DSP scraps. And it’s great that the note cards are still large enough to pop in the mail!

For the first card, I used the fourth smallest Perennial Postage rectangle die to cut two panels of Joyful specialty designer series paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on the front of a Basic White note card and adhered the die cut DSP with Stampin’ seal. I cut two holly leaves from gold foil using the Magical Meadow dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots and used red iridescent discs for the berries.

For the second card, I cut a panel of Winter Meadow designer series paper with the fourth smallest Perennial Postage rectangle die and adhered it to a rectangle Blueberry Bushel DSP panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a Basic White note card. I adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal and found a leftover Garden Green die cut sprig from the Magical Meadow dies with white berries. I adhered the sprig to the card with glue dots and finished with a white baker’s twine bow.

For the last card, I cut several panels of Christmasy Garden Walk designer series paper with the smallest square and third smallest rectangle from the Perennial Postage dies and arranged them on a Basic White note card. I adhered them with Stampin’ Seal and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set in Garden Green ink.

I left the insides of the cards blank so I could keep it simple. The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings stamp set are so pretty and elegant, so they’re perfect for Christmas designs. And the note cards are great for making a quick batch of cards since they’re a great weight and come pre-cut and scored.

Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set with the pretty Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and here’s the fun sketch we are using:

I stamped cluster of small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink all over the front of a Poppy Parade card base to give it texture. I adhered two panels of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and cut the sentiment out with the small rectangle from the Something Fancy dies. I ran some Stampin’ seal across the card front and adhered some Garden Green ribbon on top. I adhered the label on top of the ribbon with dimensionals.

I stamped the poinsettia flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I stamped the centers in Wild Wheat ink. I stamped five little leaves in stamped off Garden Green and stamped the leaf centers in Mossy Meadow. I fussy cut all the flowers and leaves with my paper snips and brushed Wink of Stella on the flowers to give them some sparkle. I adhered the flowers together with a glue dot and popped them on the card with a dimensional. I adhered the leaves around the flowers with liquid glue and finished with white sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small poinsettia from the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White. I stamped the center in Wild Wheat and stamped leaves around it in stamped off Garden Green and Mossy Meadow. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love poinsettias for Christmas cards. and these flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden stamp set resemble poinsettias. The great thing about this stamp set and the Garden Walk DSP is that there are flowers and designs that are perfect for traditional Christmas and other flowers that can be used for any occasion. Both these products are retiring when the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog retires, so they are only available while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say Feel Better Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies have wonderful layered sentiments for a variety of occasions. I used the Feel Better Soon sentiment with the Garden Walk and One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series papers for a quick get well card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a floral strip of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Mossy Meadow panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with liquid glue. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base and tied a length of Calypso Coral ribbon around the card and made a bow.

I used the Feel Better Soon sentiment dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies to cut a Wild Wheat backing and Poppy Parade detailed letters. I adhered the detailed letters to the backing with liquid glue and adhered the layered words to the card front with dimensionals. The great thing is that the words are all one piece!

I accented the front with three Garden Green iridescent pearls. So quick and easy!

For the inside of the card, I adhered a strip of Garden Walk DSP to the side of a Very Vanilla panel. I cut the stem and leaves from Mossy Meadow and flower from Poppy Parade using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies. I adhered them to the inside panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This mix of designer series papers are perfect for fall and makes a cheerful get well card. And I was so surprised when I realized that this card has no stamping – the Stampin’ Up! Wanted To Say dies do all the work!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral for World Card Making Day with Video

Good Morning and Happy Monday! I hope you had a great Fall weekend! If you happened to catch the Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day Event, maybe you got a chance to see the video for my Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral fun fold card. If not, I’ve linked up the video below so you can check it out. You can also find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Here is the video that I made for the Inkin’ Krew WCMD event. You can also view it on my YouTube Channel:

I adhered the floral panels of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the inside and short front flap of the Calypso Coral card base with liquid glue. I adhered the dotted DSP to the short Calypso Coral panel that I cut off the front flap.

After adhering the floral DSP to the card base, I worked on the inside. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Florals stamp set in Calypso Coral ink in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems in Garden green ink and then adhered the panel to a Calypso Coral mat with Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the layered inside panel to the floral inside of the card, centering the panel on the designer series paper.

Then I adhered the layered dotted designer series paper panel to the short front flap with liquid glue, being careful to apply glue to only the left half of the panel. I also wanted to make sure that the inside panel was covered and the liquid glue gave me the wiggle room to make sure it was placed properly.

I cut the wide leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral dies from Garden Green and the small leaf sprig die from Lost lagoon. I adhered the leaf sprigs to the dotted panel with bits of glue dots (I think liquid glue would work too). I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and stamped the stems in Garden Green. I cut out the flowers with the coordinating die and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with Calypso Coral Iridescent gems and a knotted length of Lost Lagoon ribbon.

I love how the greenery dies and stamped flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Textured Florals bundle compliment the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. And the simple fun fold gives the card just a little something extra.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle is a sweet set of sentiments with coordinating dies that look like fussy cut sentiments – but so much easier! I paired this bundle with the pretty Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Thinking of You card 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 and I managed to use four of the six colors in our palette:

I adhered a panel of the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Pretty Peacock mat and wrapped it with Calypso Coral ribbon and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base.

I cut a Garden Walk panel with the long label die from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts dies and I used the flower die to cut a panel of Pretty Peacock card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts photopolymer stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I adhered the die cuts together with glue dots and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Pretty Peacock sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Modern Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow and colored the flower centers with the light Wild Wheat Stampin’ blend. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Garden Walk DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

A simple Fall Thinking of You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle.

And the sentiment is from the cute Merry and Bright stamp set. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a real Red card base with liquid glue. I cut a tag from Basic White using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees dies. I embossed the tag with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder and cut a hole reinforcer from Pretty Peacock. I adhered the reinforcer to the tag and looped Real Red and white iridescent ribbon through it and tied it with a Gold Twine bow.

I cut the 4 smallest tree sections using the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees dies from a Pretty Peacock panel of Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I used the detailed tree branch stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees photopolymer stamp set and stamped each section in pretty peacock. I used my bone folder to curl the bottoms of each section up and adhered them together using liquid glue. I cut a tree trunk from Wild Wheat and embossed with with the Timber 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the back.

I cut the two stars from Gold Foil and adhered them together before attaching them to the tree top with a glue dot and decorated the tree with Festive Pearls. I stamped the sentiments from the Merry and Bright stamp set in Poppy Parade and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered the tree and sentiments to the tag with glue dots and popped the tag onto the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love tree Christmas cards and the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees bundle is pretty versatile for making different styles of trees and cards. The rich colors and designs of the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ DSP make nice rustic cards and the gold trim & foil star with the shiny pearls give it just the right touch of shine!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm Birthday Card

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a nice, relaxing weekend! Today I have a Fall birthday card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm bundle and the pretty new Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the pretty sketch in Freshly Made Sketches 602 for today’s card. Isn’t it pretty?

I embossed a Calypso Coral panel with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Calypso Coral card base. I adhered a striped pannel of the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the left side of a floral panel and adhered the layered DSP ton the card front with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Distressed Gold paper with the open leaf branch die from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I cut the large flowers and stems from Mossy Meadow and cut just the flowers from Calypso Coral. I trimmed the stems from the Calypso Coral flowers and adhered them to the Mossy Meadow stems. I adhered the flower to the card front using glue dots behind the leaves and dimensionals to pop the flowers. I made a bow with a single strand of Wild Wheat jute and adhered it with a glue dot.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on Wild Wheat and cut it out with the skinny long banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with tiny gold metallic pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink next to the sentiment and colored it with Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral and Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends. I adhered a strip of Garden Walk DSP to the bottomof the panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is so pretty and perfect for Fall florals. And the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Charm stamp set match it pretty well, making a sweet Fall birthday card!
