Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Just For You Card

Good Morning and Happy Tax Day! We filed ours just in time this weekend – need to do better next year. Anyway, here’s another sneak peek of the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I paired it with the pretty retiring Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to show that it’s pretty in many different color palettes. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat with liquid glue. I adhered another strip of the DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat before adhering it to the panel. I popped the layered DSP panel onto the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the new Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on the side of a Lost Lagoon panel and cut it out with one of the dies from the Unbounded Love dies. These new products will be available when the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog launches on May 1, 2024. I cut a sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies from Pool Party card stock and adhered it to the card with Lost Lagoon ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label over the ribbon and part of the die cut sprig.

I stamped two of the large flowers from the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Petal Pink inks on Basic White. I stamped the outlines full strength and the filler in stamped off ink. I stamped the flower centers using Pecan Pie ink and cut them out with the coordinating die. I used the same technique to stamp two leaf clusters using Lost Lagoon ink. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the label and adhered the flowers with glue dots and dimensionals. I wish I had my iridescent pastel gems to add some bling – they would have been perfect!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle will be available on May 1, 2024. The two step stamp set has really pretty flower and leaf stamps that are really easy to line up and work so well by using a full strength ink on the detailed outline stamp and stamped off ink on the filler. And I love that the filler stamps have highlights that easily give you nice texture and dimension! And while they go beautifully with the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper like my card the other day, they also work beautifully with other designer series papers that you may already have. Here’s a picture of the bundle:

And here’s a picture of the pretty Unbounded Love bundle that will also be available on May 1, 2024:

Stampin’ Up! Latte Love Friendship Card

Good Morning! Have you had your coffee yet? I used the Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Latte Love bundle to make a fun coffee card today! I paired it with the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to change things up and I think it works well! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the coffee rings and drips from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set using Pecan Pie ink all over a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and adhered it to another panel of the DSP. I adhered the layered DSP to the front of a Calypso Coral card base. I adhered a plaid panel of the DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love dies to make the cute French Press carafe. I used Rose Gold for the frame and cut a Window Sheet panel for the glass carafe – it’s hard to see but it looks so cool in person. I applied adhesive sheets to the back of the Rose Gold foil so it would stick to the Window Sheet. I cut an Early Espresso panel and adhered it with glue dots, hidden by the frame. I stamped the coffee cup using Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the oval coffee disk in stamped off Crumb Cake (I need creamer in my coffee) and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the top of the coffee cup. I popped the French press and coffee cup on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the spoon from the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on Smoky Slate card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die using the two step method . I adhered the spoon and label to the card with glue dots and finished with coffee swirl dots.

For the inside of the card, I cut four panels of the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ DSP using the small cup die in the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love dies. I cut four Pecan Pie small coffee ovals and adhered them to the cups with liquid glue. I adhered the cups to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the Inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This was such a fun card to make – I love the carafes! And with the spatter and coffee ring stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Latte Love stamp set, you can give a coffee theme to lots of different DSPs. And I love the cute little die cut cups in different patterns. So, what color is your coffee – Early Espresso, Pecan Pie or Crumb Cake?

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Congratulations for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle for a congratulations card today, and I used both the beautiful stamp set and both punches! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge for our Blog Hop this week – perfect with the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper:

I stamped the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set using stamped off Lost Lagoon ink randomly on a plaid panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I adhered a panel of Crushed Curry Inked Botanicals DSP across the front with liquid glue and adhered the layered pannel to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Calypso Coral mat. I used the punches from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle to punch 6 shapes from different designs in the Inked Botanicals DSP. I arranged them on the embossed panel and adhered the ‘x’ punched shapes with liquid glue. I adhered the star punched shapes with dimensionals to the embossed panel.

I popped the embossed panel onto the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Daffodil Delight strip. I punched the ends with the ‘x’ punch and adhered a folded length of Pool Party ribbon to the back with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished with iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set using stamped off Calypso Coral ink randomly around the edges of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the punches in the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle fit together – it’s like a quilt pattern. What a great way to show off the different designs in pretty designer series paper!

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Friendship Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is a monotone friendship card in yellow and gold using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched cling stamp set. I’ve paired the cotton ball image with some Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Crushed Curry and Wild Wheat card stock to get a natural look. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I made a video tutorial for this card and posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

Adhere a panel of Crushed Curry Inked Botanicals DSP to the front of a Wild Wheat card base with liquid glue. Stamp the cotton ball image from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Wild Wheat panel. After the ink dries, color the cotton balls with a white watercolor pencil. This gives the cotton a soft highlight! Adhere the stamped panel to a Crushed Curry mat with liquid glue.

Wrap a length of Wild Wheat jute around the panel and tie a knot. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Crushed Curry strip. Use paper snips to make a fishtail banner on one end. Adhere the label to the stamped panel with glue dots.

Cut a panel of leafy vellum with the leaf sprig die from the Gorgeously Made dies and adhere it to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the die cut to the card front with glue dots. Adhere the stamped panel to the card front with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set in Wild Wheat ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. Trim the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty images from the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched stamp set are perfect for stamping on card stock and coloring with watercolor pencils. The result is softer than coloring with markers and it’s pretty easy to do. I hope you like the colors – I don’t think that they’re for everyone, but I do like the way the card came out. Experimenting with different colors is a big part of the fun!

Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The fireflies are out now in my backyard, so I was inspired to bring out the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way photopolymer stamp set and dies to make a summer card. 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:

I adhered a fern panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Lost Lagoon mat. I adhered the layered panel to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the lantern from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I traced the lantern on a Vellum panel and cut it out with my paper snips. I stamped the large light in Lemon Lolly on the trimmed vellum and adhered it to the back of the lantern with glue dots.

I cut the large and small fireflies from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way dies from Pebbled Path card stock. I also cut the large wings from vellum and large body from Lemon Lolly and assembled the large firefly with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card front with glue dots. I took a single strand of Pebbled Path jute and looped it through the lantern handle before adhering it with dimensionals. I adhered the small fireflies with glue dots and the large firefly with dimensionals. I finished the card front with faceted dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small firefly from the Stampin’ Up! Lightning The Way stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I stamped the small light in stamped off Lemon Lolly and stamped the firefly trail in full strength Lemon Lolly. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Lighting The Way stamp set and dies make a pretty card for summer nights. The sentiments are inspirational and full of positive energy and the firefly stamps and dies are wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today’s card features the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle with the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. 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:

I adhered a floral panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with liquid glue. I cut a Petal Pink panel with the Radiating Stitches die and adhered it to the card front. I cut the small leaf branch from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral dies from Lost Lagoon card stock and adhered it to the die cut panel with liquid glue.

I stamped the small leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral photopolymer stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the large flower in Daffodil Delight ink on Basic White and the flower center in Crumb Cake . I cut the flower out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I stamped the small flower in Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Pool Party card stock. I cut fishtails on the ens and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Iridescent Pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Calypso Coral on Basic White. I stamped the center inn Crumb Cake and trimmed the bottom of the panel with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral bundle is a pretty two step floral stamping set with water-color like images. The sentiments are pretty and it has dies that cut out the stamped flowers and leaves. Plus, there are pretty foliage dies that go wonderfully with the stamped images!

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Thank You Card

Good Morning! I used the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set with the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Thank You card. I love how the flowers in the stamp set are so similar to the flowers in the DSP and that’s what I tried to feature in this card. 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 floral Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the right side of of a Lost Lagoon mat and a small print pattern of the DSP to the left side. I adhered a strip of Lost Lagoon to cover the seam and wrapped a length of linen thread around it and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with dimensionals.

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Basic White panel and used sponge daubers to apply ink to the large floral stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled cling stamp set. I used Calypso Coral on the large flower, Petal Pink on the small one and Lost Lagoon on the stems and leaves. I stamped the image on the die cut circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink next to the flower and stamped the stars in stamped off Pool Party. Actually, I think these may be seed pods like dandelions or milkweed – what do you think? I added iridescent pastel gems before adhering the circle to the card front with dimensionals..

For the inside of the card, I stamped the stars (or seed pods) from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in stamped off Pool Party ink on the side of a Basic White panel and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the images and sentiments in the pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set. I was worried about using different colors of ink on a single stamp and I didn’t have my markers, so I’m glad that this came out so well by using sponge daubers. But I think there’s enough space between the flowers and stems, so it works out pretty well. And I like the image stamped in a single color too!

Join me for a Facebook Live This Afternoon!

I’ll be going live on my Facebook Business Page this afternoon to show a sneak peek of a pretty new bundle from the upcoming September – December 2023 Mini Catalog – the Translucent Florals bundle. I hope you can join me at 1:00 ET today!

Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled Note Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle has a sweet cling stamp set that is paired with two punches that make a unique and fun artistic combination. I used both the stamp set and punches along with the beautiful Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a card that I loosely CASE’d from the 2023-2025 Annual Catalog. 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 Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Crushed Curry card base. I cut a Pool Party plaid panel of Inked Botanicals DSP in half and adhered each strip to the sides of the card front with liquid glue, being careful to line them up evenly.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White. I stamped the leaf sprig next to the flower in Lost Lagoon ink. I stamped the wisps in stamped off Crushed Curry and the stars in Pool Party around the flower. I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered the panel to an Inked Botanicals DSP mat. I adhered the layered piece to the card front with dimensionals, straddling the plaid DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Versamark ink on a Pool Party strip. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I used the x punch from the bundle to trim the ends and used my paper snips to trim the excess card stock from the top and bottom. I used the star punch from the bundle to trim the ends of a DSP strip to make a mat and adhered the label to the mat with liquid glue. I folded a length of Lost Lagoon ribbon and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the card with iridescent pastel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled stamp set in Calypso Coral ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf in Lost Lagoon and some wisps and stars in Pool Party and stamped off Crushed Curry. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Inked and Tiled bundle is pretty versatile. I love the style of the art, it looks like actual plants were inked up and used to stamp the images! The stamp set has pretty sentiments and the punches make a nice angular contrast with the soft florals.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Love Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow cling stamp set and Meadows dies are favorites with sweet sentiments, pretty flowers and gorgeous floral dies. I paired the stamps and dies with the new Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a fresh take on these favorites. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Fern 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a panel of Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat and popped it on the front of a Calypso Coral card base.

I used the fern die from the Meadows dies to cut a Lost Lagoon panel and I used the flower die to cut a Petal Pink panel. I adhered the die cut fern to the card with dots of liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Lost Lagoon card stock and cut it out with the little tag die.

I looped a length of Linen Thread through the tag and tied it to the die cut flower stem. I adhered the flower to the card with glue dots on the stem and dimensionals on the flower. I secured the little tag with a dimensional and finished the card front with Pastel Iridescent Rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow stamp set in Petal Pink ink on the side of a Basic White panel. I inked the spatter stamp with Lost Lagoon ink and stamped off twice before stamping over the flower. I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The wildflowers in the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper go great with the die cut flowers from the Meadows dies and I love it when new products go so well with old favorites! I also stamped the side of a Basic White with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow flowers to match the inside of the card.
