Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Double Z Fold Hello Card

Say hello with this pretty Double Z Fold card using the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the gorgeous Hello Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! These items will be available tomorrow, March 1 as Online Exclusives!

I started with rear and front card bases in Petal Pink. To the rear card base I adhered Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper in a Petal Pink pattern to each panel. I chose a paper pattern in Pretty Peacock for the panels on the front card base.

Using the flowered paper from the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper pack I cut out several flowers using the coordinating dies from the Irresistible Blooms Dies. Yes, the dies coordinate to cut out images from the paper! I also cut out several sets of leaves using coordinating dies and several other leaves in white cardstock.

A large and small flower were arranged on the left panel of the front card base and I arranged the leaves around the flowers. The smallest flower was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The “hello” sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock in Petal Pink ink and I fussy cut the sentiment out. The sentiment was adhered to the left panel of the front card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was placed in the lower right corner.

A small die cut flower and leaves were adhered to the middle panel of the front card base. I stamped a partial image onto a white panel in Petal Pink ink add adhered this to the right panel of the front card base.

The right and left panels of the front card base were then adhered to the right and left panels of the rear card base (refer to the pdf tutorial for complete instructions).

Several Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in pink were adhered to the card front and a double bow in white Baker’s Twine was added just below the small flower using a Mini Glue Dot.

The same small flower image was stamped onto the envelope front using Petal Pink ink and a coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and the excess paper was trimmed away from the flap.

How lovely is the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper and the Irresistible Blooms flowers? You can download, save and print complete instructions for this card by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Best Butterflies Any Occasion Card

Happy Friday! This cheerful Any Occasion card was created using the Best Butterflies Bundle (stamps and dies), the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and the Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. You can earn the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper for free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order(s).

I started off by embossing a white panel using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the bottom of the panel and the ends were secured to the back of the card using small pieces of Tear & Tape. The embossed panel was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Best Butterflies Stamp Set, I stamped a sentiment onto a white piece of cardstock measuring 3-1/4″ x 3/4″ using Fresh Freesia ink and this sentiment label was adhered to the upper left of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Four (4) butterflies were die cut using the small butterfly die from the Build a Butterfly Dies set. I selected three different patterns from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper pack for die cutting – one pattern in Balmy Blue, one in Fresh Freesia and one in Coastal Cabana…so pretty! I brushed the die cut butterflies with Wink of Stella to give them a little sparkle. Three of the butterflies were adhered to the card front diagonally from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. The butterfly on the left slightly overlaps the sentiment label and the butterfly on the right sits on top of the ribbon strip.

A small bow was tied using the Glittered Organdy Ribbon and adhered on top of the ribbon strip using a Mini Glue Dot.

The fourth die cut butterfly was adhered to the inside panel. This panel was then matted to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

To finish the card I adhered several Opal Rounds to the card front. A piece of coordinating Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper was adhered to the envelope flap, and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today! Apologies for the photos…it is difficult to photograph sparkle and white…and I’m not a professional photographer! Suffice to say this is a cheerful card that will bring a smile to the recipient’s face!

Stampin’ Up! Share a Milkshake Front Flap Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I can’t wait to see what my team members have created for today’s challenge!

I used the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set and Dies and the Country Floral Lane 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create my card for today’s Hop. These items are from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. I had so much fun creating this card! (I am now craving a hot fudge sunday…)

Our challenge for today ‘s Hop is a theme challenge to create a fun fold card!

For this fun fold there are essentially two card bases. The first card base was cut from Mint Macaron cardstock and measures 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. The second card base acts as the center “flap” and measures 8-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ and is scored at 4-1/4″.

I selected two prints from the Country Lane Designer Series Paper pack – one in a Petal Pink flower and heart print and the second in a Sweet Sorbet stripe print. I cut two slender panels from the flower print paper to 4″ x 1-1/8″ and adhered these panels to mats in Basic White cardstock. These panels were adhered to the non-scored card base on the left and rights sides, leaving an equal reveal on three sides. The striped pattern DSP was cut to 4″ x 2-1/2″ and also adhered to a white mat, then adhered to the front of the scored card base. This scored card base was adhered to the first card base between the two slender panels.

Using Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the chocolate ice cream, strawberry ice cream, cherry and spoon and used the coordinating dies from the Share A Milkshake Dies set to cut out the images. I also cut out an ice cream cup in Mint Macaron cardstock and a scoop of vanilla ice cream from Very Vanilla cardstock. The ice cream sundae was assembled and adhered to the center panel of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment was stamped onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and I fussy cut the image. The sentiment label was then adhered to the center panel of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and positioned above the dish of ice cream.

Hearts were stamped on the inside panel in Sweet Sorbet ink and the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same heart image was stamped on the envelope front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap with the excess paper being trimmed away from the flap. Several Opaque Adhesive-backed Gems were adhered to the card front to finish off the card.

What’s your favorite ice cream? I’m a chocolate girl all the way!

Bottled Happiness Gate Fold

Happy Monday! I hope the day finds you well!

Today’s card is a gate fold with a belly band, and I used the Bottled Happiness stamp set, Tea Boutique Design Series Paper, Deckled Rectangles Dies and the Stylish Shapes Dies to create this card. I also used four of the five new In Colors on the card and I love how the new In Colors play so nicely together!

Another Sneak Peek – Sweet Songbirds / Last Chance and Retiring Products Sale Going on Now! / May Paper Pumpkin Surprise

Sweet songbirds card project

Here is another sneak peek from the new Annual Catalog – the Sweet Songbirds Bundle which includes the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and Songbirds Builder Punch. How cute is this little bird! I had so much fun playing with this bundle and already have another card idea using this set…I can’t wait to show you. By sharing these sneak peeks, I hope to inspire you to purchase some of the new items from the upcoming catalog. I promise you won’t be disappointed and if you’re like me…you’ll want it all.

Today’s card sits on a Sweet Sorbet card base – one of our new In Colors…and it’s gorgeous! I stamped the branches, leaves and flowers on a white panel, punched the cute little bird using Sweet Sorbet, white and Daffodil Delight cardstock, then used Stampin’ Blends to enhance the shading on the stamped images. The sentiment label on the card uses the wood plank stamp and a greeting from the stamp set and is hanging from a tree branch! I used a sponge dauber to ink in some sky in Balmy Blue and I wasn’t worried about getting the ink completely smooth. This card is meant to be playful so have fun with it!

The new catalog launches on May 3 for customer orders. I’ll be sharing some additional projects using new items from the catalog over the next several weeks so be sure to check back often. You won’t be disappointed. The new catalog is packed with some amazing new items!

Wisteria Wishes Sneak Peek / Special Share Hope Paper Pumpkin Offer

Wisteria Wishes sneak peek

Here is a sneak peek at the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and dies, along with two of the beautiful 2022-2024 In Colors – Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party! I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on this card. These products will be available to customers on May 3 in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I can’t wait for you to see these products up close!

As usual my photography skills (or my laptop monitor) aren’t showing the true colors. The Parakeet Party is close, but the Orchid Oasis is showing darker than it actually is. I would describe Orchid Oasis as a purplish-blue – along the lines of a periwinkle. It is one of my favorite all time colors.

I first and second generation stamped the wisteria flowers which provided dimension. The vein details on the wisteria vine die cut is amazing! The In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP is awesome! And the metallic woven ribbon is beautiful. I’m running out of adjectives…suffice it to say that I really enjoyed playing with my new goodies!

We’ve been inspired by the National Month of Hope, first observed in 1991 to help spread hope around the world, spring is all about celebrating the power of hope. With the little buds starting to bloom and green sprouts peeking through the grass, there is no better time to find ways to reach out to those who need a ray of sunshine in their lives. Help us make a difference and spread hope with this two month offer!

My pledge: I pledge to order two Hope Box kits, create the cards in the kits, and send them to residents of a local hospital for the chronically ill. The residents at this hospital have no family to care for them and on a regular basis me and a group of friends make and provide cards for the residents. They really look forward to receiving these cards. It lets them know that there are people that care about them! The challenge: I challenge my readers to purchase a kit or two and complete the cards and send them out to someone who needs a little hope or donate the kit(s). The kits do not include stamping blocks, so you’ll need a block if you’re donating the kit. Together we can spread love and hope to others!

Ranunculus Romance All Occasion Card / New Annual Catalog Coming Soon!

ranunculus romance all occasion card

Have you ever grown Ranunculus? I’ve tried but never had any luck. They sure are beautiful, though. For today’s card I used the Ranunculus Romance and Soaring Swallows bundles.

The card sits on a Blackberry Bliss card base with a Very Vanilla panel which was embossed using the Gingham Embossing folder (which is beautiful, by the way…great texture). I die cut the large Ranunculus flower, several leaves, a flower sprig, and several Fleur de leis to complete the card. Stampin’ Blend markers were used to color the background of the Ranunculus, the leaves and flower sprig, just because coloring is fun! I used a sponge dauber to blend Crumb Cake ink around the edges of the embossed panel as well as the sentiment label – giving the card an old-world charm look. Lastly, a soaring swallow is swooping in front of the Ranunculus.

You can access the project sheet for this card by clicking the icon below.

If you are interested in creating this card, I’ve listed the products used at the bottom of this blog post. Or, you can click on the “Shop with me” button located at the top right of the screen.

Happy crafting!
