Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Next week a new set of Online Exclusives will be released on March 4 and one of the new bundles is the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle. This is stamp and die bundle featuring a stamp set with wonderful texture elements and sentiments along with a fabulous set of rectangle dies with fancy textured edges. I used the bundle with the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes. And you can find a link further down to download a PDF with all the details of the Botanical Textures suite that includes this awesome new bundle.

I stamped a panel of Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper with the large leaf sprig from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Pecan Pie ink. I stamped the image twice so that the image flowed on a diagonal across the panel. I cut it out with one of the awesome rectangle dies and adhered it to the front of a Pecan Pie card base.

I stamped the basket from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I fussy cut it out with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I tore the end of a strip of Pebbled Path card stock and embossed it with the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I adhered two strips of Nature’s Sweetness specialty DSP to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the woven image from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using stamped off Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in full strength Pebbled Path and cut it out with a rectangle die – isn’t the edge just gorgeous!

For the inside panel, I stamped the leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using stamped off Pecan Pie ink in the corners of a Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle will be available on March 4 with the new release of Online Exclusives. Click on the picture below to download a flyer with details of this bundle and other items in the Botanical Textures Suite Collection.

Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty bundle is a beautiful bundle with a large floral bouquet and pretty sentiments. The dies cut out the flowers and have complimentary bud and leaf dies and includes a pretty label. And it also includes a set of masks that you can use to color the flowers! You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of striped Lemon Lolly Lighter than Air 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and popped it on the front of a Lemon Lolly card base.

I stamped the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers with the light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend and the Leaves with the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend and cut it out with the coordinating die. I used my paper trimmer to cut the bouquet in half and trimmed off a small corner of each piece. I adhered the panels to the corners of my card using dimensionals, aligning the corners with the DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set using Versamark ink on a Lemon Lolly panel. I sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut out the label with the label die and adhered it with dimensionals and glue dots. I cut out some leaves from Lost Lagoon and flower buds from Lemon Lolly using the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty dies. I tucked the flowers and leaves under the bouquet, adhering them with liquid glue. I finished the card with a Lemon Lolly bow and clear rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large flower bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored the flowers using the light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend and the leaves using the light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty line images in the Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty bundle can be colored in so many ways. I was pleased that it made such pretty corners to fit with today’s card sketch, but next time, I need to use the pretty bouquet in the center of my card.

Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature bundle is a pretty botanical stamp set and I used it with the pretty Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for today’s card. 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 added some Granny Apple Green:

I embossed a panel of Pebbled Path card stock with the retiring Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Pebbled Path card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Nature’s Sweetness DSP to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I used the Lovely & Sweet dies to cut the small leaves and flowers from Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Distressed Gold. I adhered the die cuts to the card with glue dots and finished the flowers with gold Festive Pearls.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature Stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I needed some more Pecan Pie on my card for the Hop color challenge, so I folded a length of Pecan Pie ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots and popped the label on top with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves form the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature stamp set using Pebbled Path ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I colored the leaves with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature bundle is such a pretty botanical set with wonderful sentiments and great dies.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the December Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Love” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet bundle with the pretty Most Adored Sale-A-Bration specialty designer series paper to make a Petal Pink love card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I used a blending brush to apply Petal Pink ink all over a panel of gold floral Most Adored Sale-A-Bration specialty designer series paper and adhered it to a Pebbled Path mat with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Petal Pink card base.

I used the large floral die from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet dies to cut a gold foil design from the Nature’s Sweetness specialty DSP – I love when dies cut out DSP images!. I adhered the die cut to the card front with dimensionals. I folded a length of gold ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I cut several three sets of flowers from Petal Pink using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet die set. I cut three small stems and three small leaf clusters from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the flowers to the stems and ahdered them to the leaves with liquid glue.

I adhered two of the layered flower die cuts to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Petal Pink card stock and cut it out with the label die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals, using a double layer of dimensionals on the bottom. I finished the flowers with iridescent foil gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little grid from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet stamp set in stamped-off Pebbled Path ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Most Adored specialty DSP that I colored Petal Pink. I adhered the third flower and stem die cuts to the panel with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet bundle has pretty images and wonderful little die cuts that are so versatile. And I love the gold foil designer series papers – they can be colored in to go with any color palette!

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today iis the big day for the opening of the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’m using the pretty new Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle with the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for a Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week:

I adhered a panel of Pebbled Path grid Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with liquid glue. I cut the side of another panel of the DSP with the notebook die and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. The cool thing about this pattern is that the script is written in both directions, so you don’t need to worry about it being upside down!

I stamped the field notes stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Pecan Pie panel. I stamped the sprig over the notes and cut it out with the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the leaf cluster three times in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored the leaves with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the flower twice using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink and light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the leaves and flowers with the coordinating dies.

I adhered two die cut leaf clusters to the die cut circle with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes Of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Soft Sea Foam and used the short fat banner die from the Stylish Shaped dies to cut it out in two steps. I adhered the label to the circle with dimensionals and adhered the decorated circle to the card with dimensionals. I made a loopy bow with linen thread and adhered it to the card with a glue dot and popped one of the die cut flowers over it with dimensionals and a glue dot. I finished the front with Pebbled Path dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the grid from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set several times using twice stamped off Pebbled Path ink on Basic White.  I adhered the last die cut leaves and flowers together with liquid glue and adhered it to the panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle is a wonderful set with pretty images and sentiments and great dies. The Nature’s Sweetness is absolutely gorgeous with the gold foil touches. Both of these products will also work well with other flower and animal stamp sets to fill out your Nature’s Journal.

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle is a wonderful new bundle from the upcoming new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. It’s from the Nature’s Sweetness suite of products and has fun botanical images of cacao and vanilla pods. I used the pretty images from the Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper for a simple Hello card today. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Today’s card also uses the pretty sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #616:

I adhered a panel of Nature’s Sweetness specialty designer series paper to the front of a Pecan Pie card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel featuring cacao pods on top with liquid glue. Using the pretty images from the DSP makes the card really quick and easy to make!

I used one of the leaf sprig dies from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature dies to cut a parakeet panel twice. I adhered the die cut leaf sprigs to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I trimmed the ends with paper snips and adhered a length of Natural Wavy Trim to the bottom with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals and finished with cool cork dots that are also part of the Nature’s Sweetness suite.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature stamp set in Pebbled Path ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the rich earth tones in the Nature’s Sweetness suite and the botanical line drawings are fabulous! Here’s a picture of the Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature bundle:

These products will be available on January 4, when the new mini catalog opens.
