Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Thank You Card

Good Morning! I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle from the new January-April Mini Catalog and the Softly Stippled Sale-A-Bration designer series paper for a thank you card. I love how the images in this pattern resemble the roses in the stamp set! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card’s design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Global Design Project #426:

I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral rose patterned Softly Stippled designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set using Pebbled Path ink on Calypso coral and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the DSP panel with liquid glue and wrapped it with linen thread, making a bow.

I adhered the DSP panel to the front of a Calypso Coral Card base withh dimensionals. I cut a small leaf spray from Garden Green using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots, tucking it under the linen thread and covering the left side of the banner.

I stamped the small rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with Watercolor Pencils. I colored the flower all over lightly with the Calypso Coral Pencil. I colored the darker areas again to intensify the color and blend it out into the rest of the petal. I colored the leaves in Garden Green using the same method. I cut the flower out with the coordinating die and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I colored it using Calypso Coral and Garden Green watercolor pencils and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Softly Stippled DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The images and sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle are just gorgeous and it’s wonderful to have them also in the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled DSP! I’ve been pleased at all the different ways to stamp and color the images from the stamp set – it’s pretty versatile!

Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart Mother’s Day Card and Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Mother’s Day is a couple of weeks away so I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart cling stamp set to make a Mother’s day card during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. I used it with the new Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and you can find the currently available 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 adhered a panel of striped Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the side of a lighter patterned panel of the DSP and adhered them both to the front of an Azure Afternoon card base with liquid glue. Azure Afternoon is one of the new core colors that is coming with the color refresh tomorrow!

I stamped the scene from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink (one of the new 20223-2025 In Colors) and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Bubble Bath, light Petal Pink, light Pecan Pie, light Wild Wheat on the Mom and light Lemon Lime Twist, light Pecan Pie, light Smoky Slate and light Petal Pink on the child. I used a blending brush and mask to apply Azure Afternoon ink to the sky and used light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend on the ground. I cut it out with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Welcoming Windows photopolymer stamp set in the sky and adhered it to an Azure Afternoon mat. I adhered a Lemon Lime Twist bow to the back with a glue dot and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with pink Loose Frosted Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White panel and trimmed the side with a strip of Bright and Beautiful DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

So many of the inks, blends and card stocks I used are new colors that will be available on Tuesday when the new catalog launches. The new colors are also used in the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP, and along with the sweet Stampin’ Up! Places In The Heart stamp set they make for a colorful, bright and beautiful Mother’s day card.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park Thank You Card and Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is a wonderful photopolymer stamp set with gorgeous floral dies for making fancy labels. It’s full of sentiments for all occasions and some pretty florals that coordinate with the beautiful Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I used the bundle to make a simple gate fold thank you card during my Facebook Live yesterday and 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 adhered plain panels of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the back of floral panels to use as contrasting mats and adhered the panels to each side of the front of a gate fold card base.

I cut the layered label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on the smaller one and slipped it into the larger floral label die cut. I love how the layered panels give the look of a double stitched edge!

I cut the small solid and outline flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park dies from Night of Navy card stock and Mango Melody Regency Park DSP and adhered them to the label. For the outline flowers, I applied adhesive sheets to the back of the DSP before die cutting and removed the backing from the die cut flowers before adhering them. I decorated the flower centers with rhinestones and adhered the label to the left side of the gate fold card front, being careful to apply adhesive to only one side of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park stamp set in Night of Navy on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color the centers and adhered the panel to a Regency Park mat before adhering the panel to the inside of the card. Here’s the finished card with the samples I made for my video.

The layered label from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park bundle is gorgeous and pretty much all you need to make a beautiful card. Luckily the stamp set and dies are returning in the upcoming 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog, but the bundle discount will no longer be offered. And sadly, the Regency Park DSP will be retiring soon, so now is the time to pick it up before it’s gone for good.

New 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

The new Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog will debut on May 2, 2023! The Demonstrator pre-order is happening now, so there will be sneak peeks of wonderful new products and colors! I have sent out catalogs to my current customers. If you would like a copy, simply place an order and I will be happy to send you one, too!!

Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Thank You Cards

Good Morning! Here’s a sneak peek of some new products from the upcoming January – April Mini Catalog. I used the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle to make some cheery Thank You cards! I paired this bundle with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. These new products will be available on January 5, 2023. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I wanted to focus on the pretty patterns in the Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs designer series paper. This is an item that you can get for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration starting January 5, 2023. It has 48 sheets of 12″ x 12″ double sided paper – 4 each of 12 designs. I only used 4 of the designs and paired them with coordinating cardstock and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink to keep it simple.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on card stock. I cut it out with the hexagon die from the bundle. I used the large tag and teardrop dies from the bundle to cut a panel of Dandy Designs Sale-A-Bration DSP and adhered the hexagon label to it with dimensionals. I used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder to emboss another card stock panel and adhered it to the front of a Basic White note card with liquid glue. I used liquid glue to adhere the tag to the card front and finished it with a bow made with a coordinating ribbon and a glossy dot. I left the inside of the card blank – the note cards are pretty substantial so the card doesn’t look flimsy, and it leaves plenty of room for a personal note. Plus the note cards come with perfectly sized envelopes!

Here is a picture of most of the new supplies I used. I love that new cane weave embossing folder, it’s another great subtle texture background! Here’s the Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy bundle.

There are sentiments for lots of occasions and I love the casual elegance of the new script font. The coordinating label dies are also perfect – there are so many sizes and shape options that are going to be great for layering! And they will be great with other sentiments in your stash as well!

Tag cards are always fun and this one is easy to put together. But it’s also full of texture with the embossed background, dimension and embellishments. The January – April 2023 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration start on January 5, 2023.

The July–December 2022 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! It’s always bittersweet to see a classic Stampin’ Up! catalog take a trip to retirement. But, we’re looking forward to all the new products on their way—and we hope you are, too!

Stock up on your favorite products before they’re gone for good! Save up to 60% on essential craft supplies. What are you waiting for? Start shopping! After all, this selection of Last Chance Products is only available while supplies last – and many items have already sold out!!

Note that while some of the bundles are on the retiring list, the individual stamps and dies/punches may be carried over. These items are marked with three asterisks on the retiring lists.

Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I made a masculine thank you card with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder cling stamp set. 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 we are making cards with critters! How fun!

And I’m entering my card in the challenge at the Card Concept #177. The theme for this Challenge is ‘Make it Masculine’ and I was inspired by the plaids and outdoor themes in the inspiration picture to make a clean and layered card. Here is the inspiration picture:

I adhered a panel of plaid He’s the Man designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat and wrapped a length of natural ribbon around it, securing it in the back with tape. I adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals. I used a blending brush to blend Soft Suede ink on a wood grained panel of Heart and Home DSP and I love how it came out! I adhered that panel to an Early Espresso mat and then popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the wolf from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Early Espresso on Basic White and colored the wolf with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends and the rock in Gray Granite. I stamped the image again on masking paper and fussy cut it out. I covered the wolf with the mask and stamped the ground in Old Olive multiple times with the ground stamp.

I cut a circle in another sheet of masking paper and used it to make a Mango Melody sun behind the wolf with a blending brush. I covered the sun with the circle mask and blended the sky background in Balmy Blue ink with a blending brush. I removed all the masks and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I adhered the wolf panel to an Early Espresso mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I finished the card with three rustic metallic dots.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set in Early Espresso on a Basic White panel. I stamped the plant in Old Olive and colored the tops with light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. I blended Soft Suede on another woodgrain panel of Heart and Home DSP and adhered it to the side of the panel with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Wildlife Wonder stamp set is another in a long line of gorgeous Stampin’ Up! natural wildlife stamp sets, and it’s another winner! These are perfect for masculine cards for any occasion and I have always enjoyed making natural backgrounds using different coloring techniques.

Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I was happy to bring out the pretty Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window bundle for our color challenge this week, and I was glad that I got so many of our colors in the card – the only one I missed was Petal Pink. 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 here’s the pretty color palette we are using:

I stamped the grass from the Paradise Palms cling stamp set across the bottom of a panel of brick Bloom Where You’re Planted designer series paper in Pear Pizzazz and adhered it to the front of a Poppy Parade card base. I stamped three of the wide pots from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window photopolymer stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating die.

I stamped four of the bushy plant greens from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White. I stamped three of the flower stamps that go with the bushy plant in Highland Heather and stamped the fourth in Poppy Parade and cut all four out with the coordinating die. I adhered the pots to the card in the grass with glue dots, and adhered the Highland Heather flowers on top with dimensionals. I stamped the window and two of the shutters in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I cut a panel of Crumb Cake with the shelf die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pitcher in Pool Party, cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I popped the Poppy Parade flowers on the vase with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window stamp set in Poppy Parade on a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP and cut it out with the little tag die from the Hydrangea dies. I cut a piece of Basic White with the same die and adhered it to the back of the DSP die cut and looped a length of Linen Thread through the tag before adhering it to the card front.

For the inside, I stamped the pitcher from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window stamp set in Pool Party ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the bushy plant greens in Pear Pizzazz and the coordinating flowers in Poppy Parade on top of the pitcher and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Window bundle is so versatile with stamped and die cut windows and lots of accessories and great sentiments – especially for Spring! And it’s on sale with Savings are in Bloom going on this month!!

Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! For today’s card, I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon bundle with the beautiful New Horizons 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a masculine thank you card with an outdoors landscape. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a sketch challenge this week. Here is the pretty sketch we are using:

I embossed a panel of Gray Granite with the Timeworn Type embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Gray Granite card base. I stamped the grass stamp from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon cling stamp set in Evening Evergreen on a panel of New Horizons 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. I stamped the birds in the sky with Basic Gray ink and adhered the image to a Misty Moonlight mat.

I stamped stamped a Basic White panel with the wood stamp from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp set using stamped off Gray Granite ink and cut it out with the fence die from the Horizon Dies. I used a sponge dauber to add more Gray Granite ink to distress the fence, giving it a weathered look. I used the grass die to cut three clumps from an Evening Evergreen panel of the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP. I trimmed the end off the first and adhered it to the DSP over the stamped grass. I gently curved the fence and applied liquid glue to the first and last slat and adhered it to the panel over the grasses. I trimmed the end off the second die cut grass and adhered it under the fence with dimensionals.

I inked up the thanks part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it on a Gray Granite panel. I cut it out with the Messages die and adhered it to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals and adhered some Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the bottom around the fence and grasses.

For the inside, I stamped the grass stamp from the Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the birds in the top corner using Basic Gray ink. I adhered a strip of New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP to the bottom and adhered the last grass die cut on top. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon bundle is a lot of fun with it’s unique dies and great sentiments. And with the beautiful New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP, it is so easy to make beautiful watercolor landscape or seascape cards and be creative!

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes Thank You Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! It’s been a while since I’ve done a video tutorial, so this is a bit rough. But I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes bundle to make a simple thank you card in cheery Granny Apple Green. I love the layered word dies that come in the bundle and I paired it with the pretty Sale-A-Bration Friendly Hello designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the video of my Facebook Live from yesterday afternoon. I also posted a copy of the video in my YouTube channel and you can view it here if you prefer.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Granny Apple Green Friendly Hello designer series paper to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base. I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes cling stamp set in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat.

I used the thanks word dies from the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes bundle to cut Granny Apple Green and Basic White panels. I adhered them together with liquid glue and adhered them to the stamped and embossed panel.

I used dimensionals to adhere the tree and die cut word to the card front and finished it with three Elegant Faceted gems to add sparkle.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Sale-A-Bration Friendly Hello stamp set in Granny Apple Green in the corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Friendly Hello DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card. And then I finished the envelope by stamping the tree silhouette on the side of the envelope!

I love the Stampin’ Up! Amazing Silhouettes bundle! As you can see, it’s pretty easy to make simple yet impressive cards with it!

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers Thank You Card

Good Morning! I am back home in PA and trying to get back into the swing of things. So I kept it kind of simple for today’s card with the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set. This is a pretty floral stamp set with gorgeous sentiments and I did a lot of stamping!! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I started by randomly stamping the little bunch of flowers stamp in Pale Papaya ink all over a basic white panel. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base with liquid glue.

I inked up the medium flower from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and stamped it off once. Then I stamped it on a small Basic White Panel and stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink over the flower. I cut a panel of Pale Papaya with the Stitched So Sweetly die and adhered the stamped panel to the die cut scalloped rectangle with liquid glue.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya ribbon over some Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the label over the ribbon with dimensionals. I finished the label with three Basic Gray Matte dots.

I stamped the small bunch of flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in Pale Papaya ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

And then I even finished the envelope by stamping the medium flower from the Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers stamp set in the bottom corner in Pale Papaya ink! I love the shading that you get with the Distinktive stamps in this set. It gives dimension and texture to your stamping, even without using different ink colors. And it’s quick and easy!

Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods Thank You Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods photopolymer stamp set? I finally got a chance to play with it this week and I love it!! I have seen several cards with a beautiful sunset and I wanted to make one and I am so happy with how it came out and how easy it was to do! You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I was inspired by the As You See It Challenge #260 – Perpendicular for my card design:

I started by using Blending Brushes to apply So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze inks on a Basic White panel, blending them darker towards the bottom of the panel. Then I blended Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Misty Moonlight to create the sky. This was so pretty and so easy! I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set twice across the panel in Soft Suede to create the woods and cut it out with the third largest Stitched Rectangles die.

I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set in Pumpkin Pie and stamped the ground in Evening Evergreen. Note that I masked the tree from the second stamping each time so the ground would be behind the trees. I adhered the panel to a Sahara Sand mat. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on a Sahara Sand strip and adhered it to a strip of Sahara Sand Tidings of Christmas DSP. I finished the panel with a small Cajun Craze leaf die cut from the Intricate Leaves dies and a Linen Thread bow.

I embossed a Soft Suede panel with the Bark 3D embossing folder and adhered a strip of Tidings of Christmas DSP to the side with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the front of a Sahara Sand card base with liquid glue and adhered the art panel on top with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the last tree from the Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set in Soft Suede on the side of a Basic White panel. I stamped some Pumpkin Pie leaves by the tree and in the top corner and adhered another strip of Christmas Tidings DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I drove on some of the country roads by my house this morning and saw so many of the trees starting to change color, so the pretty Fall Foliage is on it’s way! The Stampin’ Up! Welcoming Woods stamp set perfectly captures that look and feel. And this stamp set has some of the most beautiful sentiments!
