Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting Thinking Of You Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Here is a quick card made with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting bundle and the Lovely in Linen designer series paper. This is a sweet floral photopolymer stamp set with wonderful sentiments for lots of different occasions that is bundled with a coordinating label punch. I used the die cut flowers for today’s card and you can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is a video tutorial for this card from my YouTube Channel:

I embossed a panel of Pale Papaya with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ before adhering it to the front of a Pale Papaya card base. I adhered a panel of the Lovely in Linen DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base and wrapped it in Evening Evergreen windowpane check ribbon and made a bow before adhering it to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment and label border from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set in Sweet Sorbet and Evening Evergreen before punching it out and adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished with red rhinestones.

For the inside, I inked up the pretty floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set in Pale Papaya, stamped off and stamped the image on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Lovely in Linen DSP before adhering it to the inside of the card.

I love how the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Lasting stamp set matches the flowers in the Lovely in Linen DSP. And I love that there’s a border stamp that coordinates with the punch! And I used the cane weave embossing folder because it reminded me of an old woven laundry basket – perfect for linen!

The new Stampin’ Up! 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog is due to be released on May 2, 2023. This means that the 2021-2023 In Colors will be retiring and probably the pretty Lovely in Linen DSP too since it uses Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent. So I wanted to pull it out and enjoy making a few more cards with this sweet floral paper!

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Friendship Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set is a pretty Valentine’s Day stamp set, but it’s also wonderful for friendship cards. I paired it with the sweet Country Floral Lane designer series paper and the Lasting Label punch from the Lovely and Lasting bundle for a pre-Superbowl Facebook Live yesterday afternoon where I made this card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I cut a floral panel of Country Floral Lane designer series paper on an angle about 1-1/4″ shorter on the left side. I applied Petal Pink ink with a blending brush to the top of a panel of white Textured Shimmer paper. I stamped the small open hearts from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set along the blended edge so that they would show above the slant after the DSP was adhered. I adhered the slant cut DSP to the panel with liquid glue.

I adhered another panel of Country Floral Lane to the front of a Petal Pink card base with liquid glue on an angle. I adhered the layered Texture shimmer paper panel to the card front, offset from the first layer of DSP. I made a big double loop bow with white crinkle ribbon and adhered it to the card front with a glue dot.

I stamped the frame from the Lovely and Lasting photopolymer stamp set in Mint Macaron on Basic White. I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Petal Pink ink on the label and punched it out with the Lasting Label punch. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals over the bow and finished the card with three pearl hearts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set using Mint Macaron ink on the top of a Basic White panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stamping’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set is perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also for other occasions where you want to express love and caring thoughts. The hearts and flowers theme is real sweet and the sentiments pretty and simple. These pictures don’t capture the shine from the Textured Shimmer paper, too bad. It’s really pretty with the subtle striped texture and it takes the color pretty well.
