Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set from the current Annual Catalog has pretty flowers and sentiments and I used it along with a striped pattern from the Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to make a simple 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 fun sketch challenge this week:
I adhered a panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper to a Basic White mat and popped it onto the front of a Petal Pink card base with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Smoky Slate ink on Petal Pink and cut it out with one of the circle dies from the Spotlight On Nature dies. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the medium sized flower from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Smoky Slate ink and colored it with the Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with another, smaller circle die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.
I used the small butterfly die from the Sketched Butterflies dies to cut Gray Granite card stock, gently turned the wings up and adhered it to the card with a rolled up glue dotstuck to it’s body. I finished the card with a small white bow and Petal Pink dots.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set using Smoky Slate ink at the top of a Basic White panel. I colored it with Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Poised Peony stamp set is simple with pretty flowers and sentiments.

Memorable Blooms bundle pretty floral stamp and die bundle with pretty sentiments and I used used it with the pretty Mixed Media floral designer series paper to make today’s thank you card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a theme challenge this week and it was easy for me as I love floral cards.
I embossed a Shy Shamrock panel of Mixed Media Florals designer series paper with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the side of a floral panel of the DSP, I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Calypso coral card base.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink on Basic White and cut it out with the octagon die. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I cut the leaf sprig from Old Olive and cut it in two. I adhered the two sprigs to the card with glue dots.
I stamped the large floral spray from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored it with light Calypso Coral, light Daffodil Delight, light Shy Shamrock, light Old Olive and light Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Daffodil Delight bow and Shaded Spruce dots.
I left the inside of the card simple, trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The the flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms are so pretty and are easy to color in any color palette. And the beautiful Mixed Media Florals designer series paper goes with so many floral stamp sets!

Happy Valentine’s Day! The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle is from the new Scrapbooking Brochure and it coordinates with the fun Bee My Valentine stamp set and punch from last year. I used both of them for today’s card along with the new Cute As Can Be 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 Cute As Can Be DSP to another panel of the DSP and then adhered the layered panel to the front of a Petunia Pop card base. I used the small octagon die from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle to cut a Petunia Pop panel and a plaid DSP panel and adhered them to the card with liquid glue – the DSP in the middle with the card stock around it.
I stamped the large bee from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set using Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black inks and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the bee from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in the same colors and punched it out with the coordinating punch. Between the two stamp sets, you can create three different sized bees!
I stamped the bee faces and antenna for both bees using the stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink. I stamped the wings (I used the small wings) using Pool Party. I cut the antenna and wings out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the back of the bees with liquid glue. I adhered the bees to the front of the card with dimensionals and finished it with Petunia Pop dots.
For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set using Old Olive ink and the little hearts in Bubble Bath. I trimmed the side with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee bundle has a great set of nested octagon dies and sentiments that are wonderful for memory keeping and scrapbooking. Everything can be used for card making too and I love how it coordinates with last year’s Bee My Valentine bundle. The Cute As Can Bee DSP designs are the same as last years with the fresh new colors. And I love how it all coordinates for Valentines Day and Spring!

Good Morning! I just received the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms bundle and I just had to use it. I combined the bundle with the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper from the current Annual Catalog to kind of combine the old with the new and I hope you like the results. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I embossed panel of Peach Pie Unbounded Beauty designer series paper with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Peach Pie card base with liquid glue. I cut Peach Pie card stock with the nested floral frames dies from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms dies. This is a very detailed die, so I had to use a card stock shim and run it through my cut & emboss machine several times to get a good cut (this die cutting machine has lighter pressure than my other one). I adhered the die cut frame to my card with liquid glue applied to the frame and larger sections of the die cut flowers.
I cut the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms dies from Shy Shamrock Unbounded Beauty DSP. I trimmed the bottom to make it shorter and trimmed it again to look like the top of another sprig. I adhered the die cuts to the card with glue dots. I stamped the small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored it with light Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends. I used the dark Peach Pie Stampin’ Blend to highlight the center dots.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic white and cut it out with the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and popped the flowers on top with dimensionals. I finished with Shy Shamrock shimmer gems and ribbon.
For the inside panel, I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms stamp set using stamped off Peach Pie ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with embossed DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Isn’t the frame from the Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms bundle just gorgeous!! There are two dies that make up the frame and the outer die cuts a pattern along the outside so you can make a fancy octagonal opening for a peek-a-boo effect. The flowers are pretty and the sentiments are pretty great too!
