Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind Thank You Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple thank you card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set and the beautiful Lovely Garden designer series paper. The big, bold sentiments in the stamp set go well with thebold and beautiful flowers in the DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Adhere a striped strip of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the bottom of a retiring Boho Blue card base with liquid glue.

Adhere another floral pattern of the Lovely Garden DSP to a Basic Black mat and wrap it with Strawberry Slush baker’s twine and make a bow on the right side. Adhere the layered panel to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set using Versamark Ink on Basic Black. Sprinkle it with white embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat the powder with a heat tool until it is bright and shiny. Fussy cut the sentiment with paper snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card over the bow with dimensionals. Finish with three Pretty In Pink dots.

For the inside of the card, adhere a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Lovely Garden designer series paper makes for quick & easy pretty layered cards. And I love the casual bold sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind stamp set. It is perfect for many occasions and has simple images that can be stamped for a DIY DSP in any color palette.

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle with the Simply Said stamp set and Lovely Garden designer series paper to make a Hello card for today. 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 I interpreted the flowers as the oval.

I adhered a panel of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base with liquid glue and adhered a contrasting black and white striped panel on top.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White four times amd cut it out with the small flower die. I partially inked the smaller flower with the ink and stamped it on one side of a Basic White strip and then flipped it, inked it up again and stamped the other side, so I get a clean stamped flower. I colored the flowers with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating small single flower die.

I used the leaf die from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden dies to cut the light side of Garden Green Two-Tone card stock and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set on Fresh Freesia and cut it out with the banner die fromt eh Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and also used glue dots to adhere two of the die cut flowers. I popped the last flower on the card with dimensionals and finished with Fresh Freesia dots and a white ribbon tie.

For the inside, I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I cut a single leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden leaf cluster die and adhered it and the last flower to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle are so pretty and can be colored in so many ways! I also love how you have dies to cut single flowers from the bouquets because it gives you more options to use the stamp set. It’s a wonderful bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Love Card

Good Morning! There’s a new release of Online Exclusives today and one of the new bundles is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle. This is a stamp, die and mask bundle with big, bold flowers and pretty sentiments. I used the masks to make my flowers today and I’ve paired it with the coordinating Lovely Garden 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 panel of Lovely Garden designer series paper to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with liquid glue. I was going to use Garden Green, but I wanted a softer color – I think it works. I embossed a Basic White panel with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered strips of dark Garden Green two-tone card stock to the top and bottom edges. The two Tone card stock is thinner than regular card stock and I didn’t want the extra bulk and since I was adhering the embossed panel with liquid glue, I think it’s a great option! It gives me just a little stronger definition between the embossed panel and DSP.

The masks for the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle are numbered 1 – 5 and have little notches to help line them up. I applied Lemon Lolly with Blending Brushes to 1 and 2. I applied the ink a little darker on the second mask. I used Daffodil Delight on the third mask to get the darkest highlights. The last two masks are for the leaves and I used Garden Green ink, making the ink darker on the last one. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the flower centers and cut the flowers out with the large coordinating die. I had to do this twice because the die didn’t line up correctly the first time. So on the second attempt, I snugged the stems up tighter against the flower and checked my die after I laid down enough Garden Green ink. For the third flower, I just used ink on the smaller flower in the masks (no need to do the stems). and cut it out with the small flower die. I adhered the flower and stems to the card with glue dots and popped the small flower on top with dimensionals.

I stamped sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small rectangle die from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I made a bow with the new white ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot and finished with daffodil Delight opal rounds.

For the inside panel, I stamped the the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set using Lemon Lolly ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden bundle are so versatile and can be colored in so many ways. I think it would have been a little easier to align the coordinating die if I had stamped the whole flower first, but I wanted the look without the stamped image. And I love the black stamped center accents!

Next, I’ll have to try coloring the stamped outline image. This pretty bundle can be used in so many ways. Check it out along with the other new Online Exclusives here.
