Stampin’ Up! Meant To Bee Valentine’s Day Card

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!

Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms You Are Awesome Card

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!

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Get Well Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Fall get well card made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle and the beautiful new Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ designer series paper from the upcoming September-December Mini Catalog. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Highland Heather card stock with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Highland Heather card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Copper Clay mat. I wrapped it with Copper Clay Linen Thread (available Sept 4) and made a bow. I popped the panel on the front of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set in Copper Clay ink on Basic White and cut it out with the rectangle die. I cut a mat from a Highland Heather panel of Splendid Autumn DSP and adhered it to the back of the sentiment. I adhered the label to the card with dimensionals, doubling up on the overlap. I finished the card with Fresh Freesia tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the triple flower from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set using Highland Heather ink and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamp set next to the flowers using Copper Clay ink. I used the light Copper Clay and light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends to accent the flower centers. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love bundle has so many beautiful sentiments and goes well with designer series papers filled with beautiful painted landscapes like the Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP (available on Sept 4). These papers make card making so easy and the gorgeous label dies give your cards an extra special touch!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs Hello Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle and the pretty Wildly Flowering designer series paper with the sentiments from the Citrus Blooms stamp sets for a simple fun fold Hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a or challenge this week and it’s perfect for the Wildly Flowering designer series paper!

I cut panels of Moody Mauve Wildly Flowering designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats before adhering them to the inside and front flap of a Moody Mauve card base. Instead of using a Moody Mauve panel, I cut a Misty Moonlight panel to adhere to the front flap. I cut a panel of Moody Mauve DSP and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel with liquid glue. And I used the panel without the little bouquets.

I cut a Misty Moonlight panel with the scalloped frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs dies and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals. I used the small hexagon panel to cut a panel of Wildly Flowering DSP and adhered it to the center with liquid glue.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set using Versamark ink on a Misty Moonlight panel. 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 little diamond die from the Unbounded Love dies. I made a bow with linen thread and adhered it to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card front with Dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with Moody Mauve dots.

For the Inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White panel. I used Crumb Cake ink to ink up the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs stamp set and stamped it off before stamping it over the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside panel with liquid glue, being careful to line it up under the front panel so is hidden when the card is closed.

I love how the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs bundle looks with the Wildly Flowering DSP and I finally figured out why I love this paper so much. It looks just like wallpaper I had in my house 30 years ago! Definitely vintage! LOL.

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! Flowers of Beauty Love Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple fun fold Love card using the Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty bundle with the Wildly Flowering designer series paper. I also used the beautiful Unbounded Love bundle to make the pretty layered sentiment label. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Wildly Flowering designer series paper to Moody Mauve card base and another panel to the front of the Boho Blue mini card base. I adhered the mini card to thelarger card base with Tear & Tape. I cut a Basic White panel with the foliage die from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty dies and adhered it to the mini card base with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set on the right side of the Crumb Cake panel using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the scalloped oval die. I cut a Basic White panel with the small scalloped oval die and adhered it to the label with liquid glue. I adhered the layered oval die cuts to the right side of the mini card base with dimensionals.

I stamped The small flower outline stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty stamp set four times using Moody Mauve ink on Basic White.   I stamped the filler die on each flower using stamped off Moody Mauve ink and cut the flowers out with the coordinating die.  I used the small leaf die from the Unbounded Love dies to cut two leaves from Old Olive. I adhered one leaf to label with liquid glue and adhered three flowers with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the cars with textured dots.

For the inside of the card I adhered the die cut flower and leaf to a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set using Early Espresso ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the vintage feel of the Wildly flowering DSP. So I wanted to use it with the Stampin’ Up! Flowers Of Beauty stamp set. And I love it with the pretty scalloped label from the Unbounded Love bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Fun Fold” and I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia bundle and the Flowering Zinnias designer series paper to make an accordion Birthday Card with a belly band. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered panels of Flowering Zinnias designer series paper to the front folds of the Melon Mambo accordion card base with liquid glue. This card base is 4″ wide (rather than 4-1/4″) and fits better in the standard envelope with the belly band.

For my belly band panel, I cut a circle from Old Olive using the Spotlight On Nature dies. I cut three sets of zinnia petals (two small and one large) from Real Red and centers from Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight using the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies. I assembled the zinnia, adhering it with liquid glue and adhered three leaves to the back – two Mossy Meadow and one Lemon Lime Twist.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Old Olive on Basic White and cut it out with the small rectangle die. I used the large rectangle die to cut a mat from Melon Mambo and adhered it to the back of the sentiment. I adhered the label to the die cut circle and adhered the zinnia on top with glue dots. I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias DSP to a Melon Mambo strip to make the belly band. I loosely wrapped it around the card so it would slide and secured the ends with Tear-N-Tape. I used glue dots to adhere the decorated circle to the belly band.

I cut the two zinnia bud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies from Real Red and the small stem and leaves from Old Olive. I adhered them with glue dots and adhered them to a die cut circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I adhered the decorated die cut circle to the first middle panel with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and cut it out with the Spotlight on Nature die. I cut small flowers from scraps using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia dies and adhered them with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to the second middle panel with liquid glue.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on the left side of a Basic White panel and adhered the last strip of Flowering Zinnias DSP to the right side. I adhered the layered panel to the back panel of the card.

Belly band cards are so fun and special, especially for a birthday. The beautiful die cut flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia bundle are awesome for decorating a belly band. And it’s wonderful to see all the beautiful papers from the Flowering Zinnias designer series paper on a card!

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 Just For You Card

Good Morning and Happy Tax Day! We filed ours just in time this weekend – need to do better next year. Anyway, here’s another sneak peek of the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I paired it with the pretty retiring Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to show that it’s pretty in many different color palettes. 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 Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat with liquid glue. I adhered another strip of the DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat before adhering it to the panel. I popped the layered DSP panel onto the front of a Lost Lagoon card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the new Unbounded Love stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on the side of a Lost Lagoon panel and cut it out with one of the dies from the Unbounded Love dies. These new products will be available when the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog launches on May 1, 2024. I cut a sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty dies from Pool Party card stock and adhered it to the card with Lost Lagoon ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the label over the ribbon and part of the die cut sprig.

I stamped two of the large flowers from the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Calypso Coral and Petal Pink inks on Basic White. I stamped the outlines full strength and the filler in stamped off ink. I stamped the flower centers using Pecan Pie ink and cut them out with the coordinating die. I used the same technique to stamp two leaf clusters using Lost Lagoon ink. I adhered the leaves to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the label and adhered the flowers with glue dots and dimensionals. I wish I had my iridescent pastel gems to add some bling – they would have been perfect!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The new Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty bundle will be available on May 1, 2024. The two step stamp set has really pretty flower and leaf stamps that are really easy to line up and work so well by using a full strength ink on the detailed outline stamp and stamped off ink on the filler. And I love that the filler stamps have highlights that easily give you nice texture and dimension! And while they go beautifully with the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper like my card the other day, they also work beautifully with other designer series papers that you may already have. Here’s a picture of the bundle:

And here’s a picture of the pretty Unbounded Love bundle that will also be available 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.
