Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Hello Card

Good Morning! The pretty woodland and wildflower images in the Meandering Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is so inspirational with Spring popping up everywhere. I used a panel with the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set to make a simple hello card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set at the bottom of a Bubble Bath card base using Blueberry Bushel ink.

I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadow designer series paper to a Blueberry Bushel mat. I wrapped it with a length of Sweet Sorbet metallic ribbon and tied a bow.

I adhered the layered DSP panel to the card with dimensionals and added a Sweet Sorbet pearl to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel. I added color with the Bubble Bath and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

With the pretty Meandering Meadow designer series paper, card making is quick and easy. And the images and sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set are the perfect compliment for lots of occasions.

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches Enjoy The Journey Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches cling stamp set has sweet nature images and pretty sentiments. I used the mushrooms with the Notes of Nature dies and Poetic Expressions designer series paper for today’s card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I cut a panel of Poetic Expressions DSP with the binder ring die from the Notes of Nature dies and adhered it to the front of a Pecan Pie card base. I adhered a floral panel of the DSP on top with liquid glue.

I stamped the mushrooms from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and adhered it to the card. The images are pretty without coloring, but I’m sure that they will also be fantastic colored using any coloring tools. I cut a Mossy Meadow strip with the large leaf from the Notes Of Nature dies and the small leaf cluster from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the die cut leaves to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I trimmed the ends of the label and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I tied a knot in a short length of Pecan Pie ribbon and adhered it to the card with a glue dot. I finished with rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I inked up the mushroom stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and stamped it off three times before stamping it on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Sketches stamp set goes well with the Notes of Nature bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. The rustic, natural looks of these items compliment each other well. I love it when you can mix and match items from different Product Suites to make pretty cards!

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set along with the Pansy Dies are one of the prettiest Spring flower stamp and die sets ever. The set has pretty sentiments, along with stamped and die cut pansies that are both wonderful. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party card base. I stamped the Countryside Corners stamp on a Pool Party Panel and cut it out with the second largest octagon die. I cut another Pool Party Panel with the third largest die and embossed it with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to the stamped octagon. I popped the panel on the card with dimensionals.

I made a die cut pansy using the Pansy dies from Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight and Basic White. I cut the large center die from Daffodil Delight and two of the side petals from Basic White. I cut the borders in Blackberry Bliss and adhered the borders to the petals with liquid glue. I adhered the large petals to the center petal and cut the flower center pieces from Blackberry Bliss and Basic White. I made the bud with Basic White and Daffodil Delight and the stems and leaves from Garden Green.

I adhered the assembled bud to the card with glue dots and popped the large pansy flower on the card with dimensionals. I tucked three large leaves and one small leaf under the flower, adhering them with glue dots. I made a Pool Party bow and adhered it with a glue dot. I finished the card front with three small gold sequins.

For the inside of the card, I decided to stamp a pansy using the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower detailed stamp in stamped off Blackberry Bliss and the center in Daffodil Delight. With the darker outline, it was easy to line up the Daffodil Delight center. I covered the flower with a mask and stamped the leaves in Garden Green. I finished by stamping the center in Blackberry Bliss and trimming the bottom of the panel with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I am always anxious to plant flowers in the spring when it’s too early, so pansies are my go to since they can stand up to the cold nights. And This week I managed to get some in the ground by my mailbox, so I had to make a card using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp and dies to celebrate. Sadly, these pretty items are on the retiring list, and beginning April 9, the dies will be on sale!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions bundle pretty floral images and sentiments with wonderful dies. I used it with the Poetic Expressions designer series paper for a friendship card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to the front of a Boho Blue card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel of the DSP to a Boho Blue mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set using Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and cut it out with a rectangular die from the Everyday Details dies. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored the leaves with light light Old Olive and light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I colored the flower centers with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend and the petals with the light Calypso Coral Blend. I colored the base of the petals with the dark Calypso Coral Blend and the used the light pen to blend the shades. I cut the bouquet out with the coordinating die. I also used the dies to cut two flowers from Petal Pink and two long leaf clusters and one short one from Old Olive.

I adhered the leaf clusters and flowers to the card with glue dots and made a bow from Petal Pink ribbon. I adhered the bow with a glue dot and popped the floral cluster on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with Petal Pink glitter dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and flower from the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White. I colored the flower the same as the flowers on the card front and trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP. I adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I used the die from the Everyday Details dies to keep the angular look to the card. But I think afterwards, it would have been fine with the graceful curves of the Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions dies. I love both of those die sets!! Do you have a favorite?

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details bundle is full of simple, sweet images and wonderful dies. I used the pretty teacup image and circle die with the pretty Poetic Expressions designer series paper to make a sweet friendship or encouragement blank note card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Bubble Bath panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base. I adhered a floral panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to a Wild Wheat mat and adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the teacup from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and colored it with light Balmy Blue, light Bubble Bath, dark Lemon Lolly and light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out with a pretty circle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White strip. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to make fishtails on both ends. I punched the ends of a Wild Wheat strip of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and adhered the stamped label to the front with liquid glue. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and popped the teacup on top with dimensionals. I finished the card with a Pecan Pie ribbon tied in a knot and pink sequins.

I left the inside of the card blank, simply trimming the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhering it with Stampin’ Seal.

The teacup is one of three pretty images in the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details stamp set. The stamp set also has wonderful sentiments in a pretty mixed font and the die set is wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Hills of Tuscany for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Hills of Tuscany stamp set to make a Thank You card for today. This is a sweet landscape set with different stamps that you can use to create a stamped scene. These are fun to do. 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, so I made a little picture of the Tuscan countryside!

And I used colors from the Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC327 Feeling Earthy:

I adhered a panel of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to a Cajun Craze mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pecan Pie card base with dimensionals.

I started the little scene by stamping the house from the Stampin’ Up! Hills of Tuscany stamp set in stamped off Wild Wheat ink on Basic White. I stamped the roof in Cajun Craze, the sun in Crushed Curry and the sky in Balmy Blue. Next I stamped the ground in Old Olive using the two hillside stamps, overlapping as I filled in the ground. I love the different shading these stamps create! I stamped the trees in Mossy Meadow on either side of the house. There’s a couple of bush stamps and I stamped these in Garden Green over some of the overlapped ground stamped areas and they did a nice job of smoothing out the edges. I finished by stamping some flower fields in Poppy Parade.

I used the second largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut it out and adhered it to a Pecan Pie mat. I wrapped it with linen thread and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hills of Tuscany stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I fussy cut the sentiment with my paper snips and adhered it with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished with rustic metallic dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped a little scene in the lower corner of a Basic White panel using Mossy Meadow for the trees, Old Olive and Garden Green for the ground and Poppy Parade for the flowers. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Hills of Tuscany stamp set is fun to play with and it has nice sentiments. These stamps are fun to play with, creating different countryside scenes.
