Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Congratulations Card

Good Morning! It’s Graduation season and I always like to make feminine Congratulations cards for the young ladies getting diplomas and degrees. With all the pretty new floral designer series papers that have just come out, there are so many fresh options to use with the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and dies for a quick card or gift card holder. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I folded the 1-1/4″ end of the Darling Duckling card base to the inside and adhered the ends with Tear-N-Tape to make a pocket for a standard gift card.

I adhered a panel of the Floral Impressions DSP to the dark side of a Garden Green two tone mat and adhered it to the front of the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the large background die from the light side of the Garden Green two tone card stock and adhered the word to the background. I adhered Darling Duckling ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and popped the layered label on top with dimensionals. I finished with three pearls.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a panel of Garden Green Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the inside panel DSP trim peeks out when the card is closed. The coordinating word stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamps and dies make the gift card holder both easy and fancy. And the wonderful floral and coordinating geometric patterns in the Floral impressions DSP makes it pretty!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Wedding Card

Good Morning! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle with the beautiful new Layered Florals 3D embossing folder to make a simple wedding card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Bubble Bath with the new Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Bubble Bath mat. I wrapped it with Bubble Bath ribbon and made a bow and adhered it to the front of a Bubble Bath card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the congratulations sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set in Versamark ink. 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 and cut it out with the coordinating word die.

I cut out a label from Bubble Bath card stock with the long label die from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts dies and adhered the die cut congratulations to the top with glue dots. I adhered the layered label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with three clear sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. 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 floral die from Bubble Bath Shimmer paper and adhered it to the corner with liquid glue. I trimmed the excess and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous new Layered Floral embossing folder is practically all you need to make a beautiful card! I love embossed backgrounds for Wedding Cards and the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle has the perfect sentiments for for them, especially when embossed. I chose Bubble Bath, but I think this card would be perfect in any color.

Good Morning! I used the fun Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Card

Good Morning! I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle from the Annual Catalog to help showcase one of the pretty new Sale-A-Bration items – the Flight & Airy designer series paper. 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 Freshly Made Sketches 617 – A Sketch by Narelle:

I embossed a panel of Bubble Bath with the cross hatch design from the Basics Embossing Folders and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat. I used the second smallest square from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut three birds from the pretty Flight and Airy Sale-A-Bration designer series paper and adhered them to Misty Moonlight mats. I adhered the birds to the embossed panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the panel with glue dots. 

I wrapped a length of white baker’s twine around the panel twice and tied a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base and accented each bird panel with a white matte dot.

I kept the inside simple, adhering a strip of the pretty Flight and Airy DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel and adhering the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set are perfect for expressions of friendship, caring, love and encouragement. And they can be used with lots of designs. The pretty Flight and Airy designer series paper can be used with many of these sentiments – and probably most other stamp sets as well!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle is a sweet set of sentiments with coordinating dies that look like fussy cut sentiments – but so much easier! I paired this bundle with the pretty Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Thinking of You card today. 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 managed to use four of the six colors in our palette:

I adhered a panel of the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Pretty Peacock mat and wrapped it with Calypso Coral ribbon and made a bow. I adhered the panel to the front of a Calypso Coral card base.

I cut a Garden Walk panel with the long label die from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts dies and I used the flower die to cut a panel of Pretty Peacock card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts photopolymer stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I adhered the die cuts together with glue dots and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with Pretty Peacock sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers from the Modern Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow and colored the flower centers with the light Wild Wheat Stampin’ blend. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Garden Walk DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

A simple Fall Thinking of You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts bundle.
