Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies All Occasion Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and that means it is time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects that my team members have created for the Hop this week…I know their projects will be beautiful as always! If you are hopping over from Tara’s blog…welcome and thanks for stopping by!

I couldn’t help myself! I used the beautiful Cheerful Daisies Bundle, Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder to create today’s card. The Cheerful Daisies Bundle is so versatile…I can’t seem to stay away from this Suite of products!

We have a color challenge for the Hop today. I used all five colors on my card.

I started off with a standard A2 card base in Wild Wheat and added a panel of Moody Mauve paper from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper pack to the card front. I used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a panel in Boho Blue measuring 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″.

I used the Cheerful Daisies Dies to die cut the large 3-flower image from Wild Wheat cardstock. I also die cut the detailed petal images – also in Wild Wheat. The flower centers were die cut from Copper Clay. The largest flower center was first stamped in Copper Clay ink before die cutting. The two smaller flower centers were dotted with a Copper Clay Stampin’ Blend to give them a little dimension. I first adhered the flower centers to each of the three flowers, then adhered the detailed die cut petals to each flower. This unit was then adhered to the Boho Blue embossed panel.

Before adhering the embossed panel and flowers to the card front, I used a small amount of Stampin’ Seal on the back of the embossed panel and wrapped Linen Thread around the panel three times, securing the ends to the back of the panel. The embossed flower panel was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked in three of the leaf sprigs in Copper Clay and Pebbled Path around the flowers. A double Linen Thread bow was tied to the wrapped thread. This is an all-occasion card…so no sentiments adorn the card.

For the inside panel I simply stamped the half daisy in Wild Wheat and added a Copper Clay flower center. The panel was adhered to a mat in Moody Mauve then adhered to the inside of t he card.

The same half daisy was stamped onto the envelope front and I added a piece of the Moody Mauve paper from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper pack to the envelope flap.

This completes the card! You can download, save and print a copy of the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers All Occasion Card – Easy & Quick!

Continuing to focus on upcoming retiring items, I created today’s card using the Fresh Cut Flowers Stamp Set, Layering Circles Dies, Matte Black Dots, and the Black & White Gingham Ribbon. The Fresh Cut Flowers Stamp Set, Layering Circles Dies and the Matte Black Dots will be retiring at the end of this month! Grab them if you want them in the Last Chance Products Sale beginning today! You can read more about this sale further down this blog post.

I created a mat from cardstock measuring 5-1/4″ x 4″. I used the largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies and positioned the die at the top of the panel – approximately 3/4″ from the top of the panel, and centered from left to right and die cut. The circle cut out was set aside for a future project. The mask was adhered to a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and secured temporarily using Post It Tape. I used a blending brush to blend Rich Razzleberry ink onto the circle opening then removed the mask.

The medium-sized floral image from the Fresh Cut Flowers Stamp Set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the ink blended circle two times. The panel was then adhered to a Rich Razzleberry mat. Two lengths of Black & White Gingham Ribbon were used to tie a knot at one end of the lengths. The knot was positioned towards the bottom of the inked circle and the ends of the ribbon were secured to the back of the panels using a small amount of Stampin’ Seal. The panel was then adhered to a Thich Basic White card base.

On the inside panel, I stamped the same floral image onto the lower left corner using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then used the same blending brush to lightly blend Rich Razzleberry ink over the stamped floral image. The panel was adhered to a mat in Rich Razzleberry, then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same floral image was stamped on the lower corner of the envelope front and envelope flap and Rich Razzleberry ink was lightly blended over the stamped images.

To finish off the card, I adhered a large Matte Black Dot to each of the flower centers on the card front and an additional Matte Black Dot was adhered just between the stamped flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Alphabet A La Mode All Occasion Card

I pulled out the Alphabet A La Mode Dies set, the Cup of Tea Bundle and the pretty Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to create this All Occasion Card. I love the versatility of the Alphabet A La Mode Dies as you can create any sentiment that you would like!

I chose a print in Fresh Freesia from the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper pack and adhered a panel of the paper to the Orchid Oasis card base. Five small rectangles were cut from a second print from the same designer series paper pack – this print is in Orchid Oasis. Using the dies from the Alphabet A La Mode Dies set, I cut out the letters from white cardstock to spell out the word “Hello”. Each of the letters was adhered to one of the small rectangles.

The letter rectangles were dry fit across the top of the card front. In order to assist in lining up the letter rectangles, I temporarily adhered a cardstock strip across the top of the card front and adhered the letters using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The scrap cardstock strip was then removed.

I stamped the large greenery sprig onto Basic White cardstock two times using Parakeet Party ink. The small, single flower was stamped five times using Sweet Sorbet ink. I then used the coordinating Teacup Dies to cut out the stamped images. The greenery sprigs were adhered just under the rectangles using liquid glue and the small flowers were adhered between the two sprigs using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Rhinestone Basic Jewels were adhered to the centers of the small flowers.

Small flowers were stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink on the lower left of the inside panel in addition to a greenery sprig which was stamped in Parakeet Party. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card. I did not stamp a sentiment on this panel as I can add one later as needed.

A single greenery sprig was stamped onto the envelope front and I adhered a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap then trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! On the Farm All Occasion Card

Even though the Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper is no longer available through Sale-A-Bration, you can still make an adorable card using the On the Farm Stamp Set and On the Farm Dies!  I made an All-Occasion card, but you can easily make this into a birthday card, friendship card, or thinking of you card!  This set makes great kids’ cards too!  The die set includes a massive amount of dies so you’ll want to check it out. 

[Side Note – I have a new phone which has a really great camera. However, I’m still learning how to use it. If my photos are a little off, please bear with me!]

For the white card front panel, I made a mask from a scrap piece of paper using the long, thin wavy die included with the On the Farm Dies set. I used this mask on a white panel and with a blending brush I blended Granny Apple Green ink towards the bottom 1/3 of the panel to establish the “ground” of the scene. I used the grass stamp from the On the Farm Stamp Set to randomly stamp grass across the bottom portion of the panel.

I stamped, colored, and die cut a number of pieces for my scene – including clouds, a barn, silo, hills, a windmill, trees, a sheep and a chicken. I also stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and used the smallest circle die from the Layering Circles Dies set to cut out. All of the images were dry fit onto the ink-blended panel. The hills, barn, silo, trees and windmill were all adhered directly to the panel using liquid glue. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label, clouds, sheep and chicken to the card front. The scene was then adhered to a mat in Basic Black and this unit was adhered to the card front.

On the inside panel I again ink blended Granny Apple Green ink onto the lower corner and then used the grass stamp to randomly stamp grass along the ink blended area. Several clouds were stamped in Balmy Blue ink across the top of the panel and I used the light shade of a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to add a shadow towards the bottoms of the clouds. The panel was adhered to a mat in Basic Black then adhered to the inside of the card.

I stamped the image of the pigs onto the envelope flap and colored them in using the light shade of a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend. More ink blending and stamped grass were added to the bottom of the envelope front.

I tied a very small double bow using Linen Thread and added the bow to the bottom of the sentiment label. Several Matte Black Dots were added towards the bottom of the card front to complete the card.

I mentioned that there are a lot of fun dies included in the On the Farm Dies set…take a look!

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet All Occasion Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and I’m excited to see what my team members have created for the Hop today!

I used the pretty Country Bouquet Stamp Set, Country Floral Lane 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Around the Bend Bundle to create my card for the Hop. 

We have a sketch challenge for today and this is my interpretation of the sketch.

I started off by adhering a piece of the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper to a mat in Sweet Sorbet, then adhered this to a Mossy Meadow card base. The two-step heart from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock in Mossy Meadow and Sweet Sorbet. I then used the largest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out the stamped image.

Onto a white sentiment label measuring 3″ x 1-1/4″ I stamped a sentiment from the Around the Bend Stamp Set using Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment label was adhered to the right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was centered from top to bottom. The stamped heart circle was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was placed on the left side of the card front and partially overlapping the sentiment label.

Using dies from the Around the Bend Dies set, I cut out leaves in Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz and hearts from Sweet Sorbet. The leaves were tucked under the circle die cut and above and below the sentiment label and were adhered with glue. I scattered the die cut hearts around the card front.

The inside panel of the card was simply stamped with a leaf sprig and hearts from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and was then adhered to a mat in Sweet Sorbet.

The envelope front was also decorated with the same leaf sprig and hearts, and I adhered a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and fussy cut around the flap to finish off the envelope.

A small bow from Real Red ribbon was adhered to the card front below the circle and I adhered several white Enamel Dots to the card front as well.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and I want to thank you for stopping by! If you’re joining the hop from my blog, be sure to use the navigation links below to see more creativity and inspiration!

I used the Dainty Delight Stamp Set, Dainty Delight Dies from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog along with the Dainty Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog to create my card.

We have a color challenge for today’s Hop. I chose Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green as my colors.

I started off with a card base in Mossy Meadow. The card base was cut to 7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. This makes the card front 3-1/4″. This is a fun design that allows some designer series paper to show through from the inside of the card!

A panel of the Dainty Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper in a soft Blushing Bride print was added to a white mat, then adhered to the card front. The DSP panel measures 5-1/4″ x 3″ and the white mat measures 5-3/8″ x 3-1/8″.

I then used the Framed Florets Dies to die cut an oval frame and insert from white cardstock. For the insert, I used a blending brush to blend Granny Apple Green ink over the entire insert, concentrating the ink more towards the outer edges of the oval. I then used one of the flower stamps from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set and stamped this image twice on the ink blended oval. The stamp I chose reminds me of the flower called Queen Anne’s Lace. Queen Anne’s Lace is commonly found along the roadside in my area of the US.

The white oval frame was adhered to the card front and centered from top to bottom and left to right. I then adhered the ink blended insert oval inside of the frame.

Using the Dainty Delight Dies I die cut a large half-oval flower sprig from Mossy Meadow cardstock and three daisies from Blushing Bride cardstock. The daisy centers were cut from Calypso Coral cardstock. I also cut four small leaves in Granny Apple Green. I first adhered the large half-oval sprig to the card front on the left side of the oval frame. The daisy centers were adhered to their flowers and the daisies were then adhered around the right side of the oval frame. The small leaves in Granny Apple Green were tucked under the daisies.

A strip of the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper in a Mossy Meadow print was added to the white inside panel and this unit was adhered to the inside of the card. The DSP strip measures 5-1/4″ x 1-1/8″ and the inside panel measures 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″. This card was designed so that the outside and inside DSP panels and mats match up to each other. There are no sentiments on this card as this an All-Occasion card.

Using the same blending brush, I blended Granny Apple Green onto the lower right corner of the envelope front and stamped the Queen Anne’s Lace flower over the ink blended area. The flower was also stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the envelope flap.

To the card front I added a bow tied from Glittered Organdy Ribbon and several pink Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins.

There is something about a soft pink and greens that just go together…don’t you think? I hope you enjoyed my card for the Hop! Thanks so much for stopping by! To download, save and print the pdf tutorial for this card, click on the image below.
