Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Happy Day Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Designer Series paper sale is ending soon, so I wanted to make a card with the pretty Unbounded Beauty designer series papers using the new 2024-2026 In Colors. Of course I paired it with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle and a sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I was inspired by the pretty sketch in the Sunday Stamps SSC342 Sketch Time challenge:

I adhered a panel of Sunny Splash floral Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Sunny Splash card base with liquid glue. I embossed a Basic White panel with the floral design in the Fun Patterns embossing folders and adhered it to a Sunny Splash mat. I adhered the panel to the card with liquid glue.

I cut a Sunny Splash panel with the large sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies and adhered it to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set using Petunia Pop ink on Pretty In Pink card stock and cut it out with the third largest Stylish Shapes circle die. I cut a mat by tracing the outline of the die on Petunia Pop card stock and fussy cutting. I adhered the sentiment to the mat and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I cut a Petunia Pop glimmer sheet with the flower dies from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies. I cut three large flowers and two small flowers. I adhered the large flowers with dimensionals and the small ones with glue dots. I adhered Pretty In Pink shimmer gems to the flower centers and added a Petunia Pop gem to the label.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Sunny Splash ink. This is a two step set, so I stamped the detailed stamp first in full strength ink and the filler stamp using stamped off ink. I used stamped off Petunia Pop ink to stamp the small triple flower stamp a couple of times. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the shading you get with the two-step stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set. And it goes so beautiful with the Unbounded Beauty DSP which is on sale for a few more days at 15% discount!

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

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I was so inspired by this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit so I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle to make a card using some of the same design elements. And I combined them with a simple fun fold technique to make a book fold card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty color challenge this week that uses the new In Colors:

I embossed panels of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper with the diamond pattern in the Fun Patterns embossing folder. I adhered the large panel to the book end of a Summer Splash card base and adhered the end shut with liquid glue. I adhered a floral pattern of the DSP to the main card front. I adhered a small strip of embossed DSP to the lower right corner of the front panel to pop the sentiment. I used the two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Sunny Splash circle and adhered it to the card with pieces of dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Petunia Pop, Peach Pie and Summer Splash inks on Basic White. These are two step stamps and I stamped the detailed images first full strength and then the background images using stamped off ink. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered the leaves to the back of the flowers with glue dots. Then I adhered the flowers to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and cut it out with my paper snips. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I added three Pretty In Pink shimmer dots to the card and wrapped the binding with Summer Splash ribbon, tying a bow.

I left the inside of the card simple, trimming a Basic White panel with embossed DSP and adhereing the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The book fold design is a simple fun fold that makes your card extra special.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Hello Card

Good Morning! I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle for today’s Hello card and boy, I really love this set! I used the tall stamped leaves and small flowers – both two step stamping images with coordinating dies. I also used the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper and the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Petunia Pop with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of a Petunia Pop card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to a Berry Burst mat and adhered it to the card front.

I cut a Pretty Peacock panel with the leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I stamped the tall leafy stems using Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White, using full strength for the detailed stamp and stamped off ink for the filler. I found it easiest to stamp the detailed stamp first and the filler stamp on top. I stamped the small flowers using Petunia Pop ink – full strength for the detail and stamped off for the filler.I cut the stems and flowers out with the coordinating dies and adhered the flowers to the leaves with dots of liquid glue. I popped the flowers on the card with dimensionals, leaving room for the label on the bottom.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small circle label die. I cut a large circle from Berry Burst and adhered it to the back and adhered it to the card with liquid glue, tucking it under the flowers. I finished the label with a shimmery Petunia Pop dot and adhered a Petunia Pop bow with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card I stamped the the stem and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on the side of a Basic White panel – full strength for the detailed stamp and stamped off for the filler stamp. I used the same technique for the flowers using Petunia Pop ink, and then added more flowers with the triple flower stamps to fill in some of the blank spots. I adhered the panel to a Berry Burst mat and adhered the layered paenls to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty bundle is so versatile with so many different flowers and dies. I really love how this set of stamped and die cut flowers and stems look, even though it takes a little time to line up the stamps and dies. And of course I love the larger flowers too – they’re a little easier to line up. You can get so many different looks with this bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty Grateful Card

Good Morning! Today is the big day with the premiere of the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog! To celebrate, I used the new Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to make a simple Grateful For You 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 Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Shy Shamrock card base with liquid glue. Shy Shamrock is one of the new 2024-2026 In Colors that are now available!

I stamped part of the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty stamp set using Gray Granite ink on a Basic White panel. I used the coordinating masks in the bundle to color the flower and leaves with Blending Brushes. The masks have numbers, and starting with #1, I layered the masks over the stamped image. I used the new Peach Pie In Color ink with masks number 1-3, applying more ink to each layer to get more intense color. Masks 4 & 5 are for the leaves and I used a Blending Brush with Shy Shamrock ink to color them, using light color for mask #4 and intense color for mask #5. Didn’t they come out pretty?

After the flowers were colored, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty stamp set using Gray Granite ink in the corner and adhered the panel to a Shy Shamrock mat. I tied a length of white Baker’s Twine around the panel and made a bow and popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals. I finished with Peach Pie shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card I stamped part of the large bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty stamp set in the lower corner of a Basic White panel using Peach Pie ink. I stamped a smaller flower in the upper corner and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I’ve really loved playing with the Stampin’ Up! Layers of Beauty bundle and the other items in the Unbounded Beauty Suite from the new Catalog. And I love, love, love the new 2024-2026 In Colors – they’re so bright and cheerful! And I hope you enjoy them as well!

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Friendship Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty is a pretty new bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog in the new Unbounded Love Suite. I used it with the beautiful new Unbounded Love designer series paper and I did something different for today – I embossed the detailed flower using white embossing powder on the designer series paper! You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Pretty In Pink card base with liquid glue. Pretty In Pink is one of the new In Colors and it’s a returning color from many, many years ago. I cut a panel of the retiring Vellum Basics (the leafy design) with the large circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Seal. I used the retiring white herringbone ribbon to wrap the card front and tie a knot at one side.

I stamped the large flower detailed stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Versamark ink on a panel of Pretty In Pink Unbounded Beauty DSP. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the coordinating die. I made three flowers this way. I used the same technique to make two leaf clusters using a panel of Shy Shamrock Unbounded Beauty DSP.

I cut a Basic White panel with the leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots, tucking it under the ribbon. I adhered two of the embossed flowers and leaf clusters to the card with dimensionals. I stamped the small sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set using Pretty In Pink ink on Pretty In Pink card stock and trimmed the end with paper snips. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and finished with the new Pretty In Pink shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card I trimmed the bottom of the a Basic White panel with Unbounded Love DSP and adhered the last embossed flower to the corner. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

White embossing on DSP is a quick way to ‘color’ a pretty image with texture. In this case it picks up nicely with the white images in the background and the detailed images in the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamps are beautiful using this technique. Here’s the stamp set and dies that come in the bundle:

And here are pictures of the beautiful Unbounded Beauty designer series paper. I love that these papers use the pretty new 2024-2026 In Colors.

These beautiful new products will be available on May 1, 2024 when the new Annual Catalog opens for orders. That’s just a few days away!

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today I made a Hope card using the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle from the upcoming 2025-2025 Annual Catalog. This bundle is full of inspirational sentiments and beautiful labels and I paired it with the beautiful Unbounded Beauty designer series paper. You can find currently available 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 Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Petunia Pop card base. I cut two floral panels of the new DSP with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love dies and adhered them to the card with dimensionals leaving a space in the middle.

I stamped the Hope sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop ink on a Pretty In Pink panel and cut it out with the same die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals between the DSP die cuts. I stamped the flower from the new Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Petunia Pop and stamped off Pretty In Pink inks and cut it out with the coordinating die. I stamped the leaves using Summer Splash ink and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I adhered the die cut flower and leaves together with glue dots and adhered Petunia Pop ribbon behind it with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the flower and ribbon to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the front with Petunia Pop shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in stamped off Pretty In Pink ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Petunia Pop ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It was so fun to play with the new 2024-2026 In Colors while making this card. The sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle are so different and beautiful and the label dies are too. Here is a picture of the bundle:

And here are pictures of the pretty Unbounded Love DSP:

These are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. These products and the new 2024-2026 In Colors will be available next week on May 1, 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Sneak Peek

Good morning! I finally got my pre-order for the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I made my first card with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes along with pictures of the new products. All the new products will be available on May 1, 2024.

I adhered a panel of the new Unbounded Beauty designer series paper to the front of a Summer Splash (one of the new 2024-2026 In Colors) card base. I embossed another panel of the DSP with one of the Fun Patterns embossing folder and adhered it to a mat and then to the card front.

I cut a circle using one of the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop. The sentiment is from the pretty Unbounded Love bundle and Petunia Pop is another new In Color. I used a Blending Brush to apply Sunny Splash ink to the circle and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used another new In Color, Pretty In Pink to color the flowers and Summer Splash for the leaves. These stamps are two-step, so I used the full strength ink for the line images and stamped off ink for the fill. I used Petunia Pop for the large flower center. I adhered the small flowers and leaves to the circle with glue dots and adhered the large flower with dimensionals. I made a bow with the new Pretty In Pink ribbon and used Sunny Splash shimmer dots to finish the front.

For the inside of the card, I simply trimmed the bottom of a Basic White panel with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The pretty Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite in the new Annual Catalog and use all the new 2024-2026 In Colors. Here is the stamp set and dies that are included in the bundle:

Here are the new stamp pads, ribbon and pretty shimmer dots that I used for today’s card:

Here is the pretty Unbounded Beauty designer series paper. The colors are Berry Burst, Cajun Craze, Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash.

And here is the back sides of the DSP.

And here is the pretty Unbounded Love bundle that the sentiment came from. This bundle is also part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite, so they compliment the florals in the DSP and the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle. I love these sentiments – the fonts are so pretty and there is a huge range of messages! I can’t wait to use these pretty label dies.

All of these new items will be available on May 1, 2024 when the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog opens for ordering.
