Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled One Sheet Wonder Thank You Cards using the 2023-2025 In Colors

The purpose of my blog post today is twofold. I wanted to share the fun One Sheet Wonder technique with you and to also illustrate how well the new 2023-2025 In Colors, cardstock, ribbon and embellishments coordinate with each other!

I started off with a sheet of Basic White cardstock measuring 8-1/2″ x 11″ and I drew a light pencil line at the center of the cardstock both vertically and horizontally. I then used the four floral stamps and the one star-looking stamp from the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set to stamp these images on both sides of the penciled lines – one 2023-2025 In Color per stamp. This is what the panel looks like after it was stamped in each of the colors and images. It is difficult to tell the Moody Mauve from the Copper Clay in this image. The single flower is stamped in Moody Mauve and the “star” in Copper Clay.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I cut the card stock along the pencil lines leaving me with four quarters. I then used a clean eraser to erase any visible pencil lines along the edges. Each of the four panels was trimmed down to 5-1/4″ x 4″. I cut, scored and burnished four card bases – One each in Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat and Boho Blue. You could easily opt for one color for all four of your card bases if you’d like…I just wanted to use all of the In Colors for this project. I chose to not use Pebbled Path as a color for one of my card bases, but you can see the leaf image uses Pebbled Path ink.

I used lengths of Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat and Boho Blue Textured Ribbon and wrapped the ribbon around the stamped panels either vertically or diagonally. Tear & Tape was applied to the back sides of the ribbons and the ends of each ribbon were secured to the back sides of the panels. The Copper Clay ribbon adorned panel will match up with the Copper Clay card base, and so on, and so on.

Here is the Copper Clay version of the card…

Moody Mauve…

Wild Wheat…

And, lastly, Boho Blue!

I used some very simple stamping using the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set for this project, but you can certainly step up your stamping for a One Sheet Wonder by second and third-generation stamping images so they recede into the background. I think that would be really pretty. If second and third-generation stamping, I also think choosing one color for a monochromatic look would be awesome!

Okay, back to the cards. The inside panels were stamped with a single image onto the lower left of the panels. I stamped the single flower image in Moody Mauve to match the card front, ribbon and card base, for example, and repeated this for the other three cards. The inside panels were then adhered to the insides of their respective card bases. Each envelope front was decorated in the same manner. Coordinating pieces of 2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper were adhered to the envelope flaps and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flaps to finish off the envelopes. A single, coordinating 2023-2025 In Color Dot was adhered to each of the card fronts.

It has been a while since I created a One Sheet Wonder, and I had a lot of fun creating these cards for you today! I hope you enjoyed! You can download, save and print a copy of the tutorial for these cards by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Night of Flight Thank You Card

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week!

My card today uses the Night of Flight Stamp Set (a Host Exclusive Stamp Set) and the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I did a little bit of ink blending, stamping, fussy cutting, coloring and masking on this card as well…something for everyone!

I started off by stamping the largest moth image from the Night of Flight Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a white panel. I stamped the image again onto a piece of Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper. I fussy cut the image on the masking paper right up to the edge of the image. The protective backing on the masking paper was removed, and I then carefully placed this mask over the stamped image on the white panel.

A blending brush was used to lightly blend Balmy Blue ink around the masked image. I used the greenery image from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set and second-generation stamped this image in Granny Apple Green ink across the bottom of the masked panel, making sure to vary the height of the stamped image. Using the tallest flower stem stamp from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set, I stamped two stems in Granny Apple Green ink onto the panel. The half flower image was stamped in Gorgeous Grape at the tops of the stems and Wild Wheat was used to stamp the flower tops.

I gently removed the mask on the moth and used Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. A Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker was used to darken the outline of the moth and to darken some of the spots on the moth. The completed panel was then adhered to a Basic Black mat and then adhered to the card front.

A sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the sentiment label. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to create a banner end on the left side of the label. I did the same for the label mat, adhered the label to it’s mat, then adhered the sentiment to the upper right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small double linen bow was adhered to just under the sentiment label.

I kept the inside panel very simple. The same moth image was partially stamped onto the lower left corner of the panel, and I used Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. The panel was adhered to a second Basic Black mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

I repeated partial stamping of the moth on the envelope front and colored in the image. On the envelope flap I first and second-generation stamped the greenery image a few times to finish up the envelope.

I added multiple Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front in a diagonal pattern from the bottom right to the upper left of the card front. The iridescent jewels look like small points of light rising up out of the grass! Maybe little fireflies?

The Night of Flight Stamp Set is a Host Exclusive item from the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Host a qualifying party and earn Stampin’ Rewards which you can use towards free and discounted host-exclusive products such as this stamp set! Ask me how!

Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing Thank You Card

This card was created using the So Refreshing Bundle and Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. A little ink blending was added to the background panel and water droplets were flicked onto the panel to create a watercolor affect. I love how this panel turned out! The pop of the red strawberries also provides added interest to the scene!

I started by using a piece of Post It Tape to mask off a vertical line across a white panel. I ink blended Pretty Peacock across the top of the panel, repositioned the tape and ink blended Lost Lagoon across the bottom portion of the panel. The tape was removed, and I used a small paint brush to flick water droplets across the panel. As soon as I could see the ink lifting under the water droplets, I blotted up the excess water using a dry paper towel so as to prevent the panel from warping.

I stamped and die cut all of the necessary pieces for the card front including a pitcher, glasses, greenery, lemons and little itty-bitty strawberries! Honestly…how cute are these wee little berries? I also die cut a piece of designer series paper in a leaf print in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock for the table cover…complete with tassels! The pieces were arranged onto the ink blended panel and then the panel was adhered to a mat in Pretty Peacock and this unit was adhered to a card base in Lemon Lolly. The Lemon Lolly, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon are beautiful together! I added a white sentiment label to the card front and popped up the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small bow using the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon was added just above the left of the sentiment label.

I kept the inside panel simple and used the two step stamps to stamp the image of the lemons onto the lower corner using Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight ink. The panel was adhered to a mat in Pretty Peacock and then adhered to the inside of the card.

To finish off the card I stamped the same lemon image onto the envelope front and added a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Several yellow Tinsel Gems were added to the card front.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today! I had fun creating it! You can download, save and print a copy of the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You Card

I used the Earthen Textures Bundle and Earthen Elegance 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create today’s card. Do you love rich, Fall colors? If so, the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper is for you! On this card I paired Pretty Peacock with Copper Clay and added a bit of Distressed Gold…so pretty together!

I chose a Pretty Peacock patterned paper from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper to adhere to the front of a Copper Clay card base. I die cut two large leaves in Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and two large leaves in Copper Clay using the Earthen Textures Dies. One additional leaf was cut from a multi-colored pattern from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper. I arranged these large leaves onto the card front, fanning them out to the left and right. The multi-colored large leaf was added to the center. Two smaller leaves cut from a Pretty Peacock pattern were tucked in around the center leaf.

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock then used the smallest die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies set to cut out. A piece of Natural Wavy trim was adhered across the bottom of the card front using Mini Glue Dots and the sentiment label was adhered over top of the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, I second-generation stamped the multi leaf image in Pretty Peacock ink then first generation stamped the “Thank you” sentiment over top. The panel was adhered to a piece of the Pretty Peacock print designer series paper then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same multi leaf image was stamped onto the envelope front and I added a coordinating piece of designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings Thank You Card

Do you need to create multiples of a thank you card quickly and easily? The Circle Sayings Bundle and the Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper can help you with that. I was able to create this pretty card in a matter of minutes! The Circle Sayings Bundle (stamps and circle punch) and the Regals Designer Series Paper in fun new patterns are now available in the Online Store!

I used the polka dot embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (an Online Exclusive) to emboss a white panel. I added a 2″ strip of a polka dot patterned paper in Pretty Peacock from the Regals Designer Series Paper pack to the embossed panel. This unit was then adhered to a card base in Pretty Peacock.

Using the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch from the Circle Sayings Bundle I punched out one circle from white cardstock and one circle from Pretty Peacock cardstock. I stamped the half circle flower image onto the top of the white circle using Pretty Peacock ink and the “thank you” sentiment was stamped just below the flowers. I used the Pretty Peacock circle as a mat and adhered this circle to the back of the white circle, leaving a small reveal on the right side. This sentiment label was then adhered to the lower third of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Baker’s Twine bow and an Iridescent Pastel Gem was added to the card front.

A 3/4″ strip of coordinating designer series paper was added down the right side of the inside panel and the panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same flower image that was used on the card front was repeated on the envelope front and I added a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish up the card.

Simple yet elegant! And I don’t know about you but I’m rather fond of two-tone cards…they make such an impact!

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners Thank You Card

Today’s card uses the Countryside Corners Dies, Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, and the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. I also brought in some small flower images from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and a sentiment from the Something Fancy Stamp Set. I’m loving the contrast of the Wild Wheat small, stamped branches and the Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon against all of the blue! The small flower images in the Country Bouquet Stamp Set go perfectly with the Countryside Corners set!

I started off by using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder to emboss a basic white panel. I then used a blending brush to lightly blend Misty Moonlight ink over the embossed surface. The panel was then adhered to a Misty Moonlight card base.

I cut several octagons using the Countryside Corners Dies – a larger octagon in a pretty bird print from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, and a smaller octagon from Balmy Blue cardstock. These octagons were adhered to each other, then adhered to the card front.

An even smaller octagon was cut from Basic White cardstock and this octagon will serve as the sentiment label. I used the small flower image from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and stamped the small flowers in opposite corners using Misty Moonlight ink. The small branch image was stamped in Wild Wheat opposite the flowers, and small hearts were stamped in Balmy Blue ink across the top and bottom of the sentiment label. The thank you sentiment from the Something Fancy Stamp Set was stamped in the center in Night of Navy ink.

Two short lengths of Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon were attached to the center of the Balmy Blue octagon using Stampin’ Seal, then the sentiment label was adhered over top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The same flower images were stamped onto the inside panel and the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same stamped images from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set were repeated on the envelope front. A piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Multiple blue 2023-2025 In Color Dots were adhered to the sentiment label to finish off the card.

All of the products used to create this card will be available tomorrow, May 2 in the Online Store!

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Inn Thank You Card

I used the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and the Timeless Arrangements Bundle to create today’s card. These products will be available on May 2 with the release of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!

The piece of Countryside Designer Series Paper that I used on the card front is the only piece of paper in the pack that lines up with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. It’s difficult to tell that this panel is embossed from the photo…hopefully you can see all of the texture!

I adhered the embossed panel to a mat in Night of Navy then wrapped Boho Blue Textured Ribbon around the panel and adhered the panel to the card front.

I sentiment label and one of the leafy images were die cut using the Timeless Arrangements Dies set. I used two sentiments from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment onto the die cut sentiment label. I then adhered the leafy image to the back of the sentiment label and adhered the unit to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A white Baker’s Twine bow was added to the upper left of the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped the simple flower image from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set using Night of Navy ink and used Boho Blue Stampin’ Dimensionals to color in the stamped images. The same flowers were stamped onto the envelolpe front and colored in as well. The inside panel was adhered to a Midnight Navy mat then adhered to the inside of the card.

A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed away the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope. This completes my card for today!

Stampin’ Up! Silly Goose Thank You Card

I used the Silly Goose Stamp Set, Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circles Dies to create today’s card. I can’t help but smile when seeing the cute images from the Silly Goose Stamp Set!

I will be focusing this week on retiring items from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog! It’s sad to say good-bye to the retiring items…but we have new products coming soon! Update – The Silly Goose Stamp Set is being offered in the new catalog, but in the photopolymer version only. The Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circles Dies will be retiring. As of the writing of this post, all of these items are available in my online store while supplies last…so order them soon if you want them! I’m not sure how I’m going to survive without the Layering Circles Dies but I’m sure Stampin’ Up! will come out with something equally as awesome!

I adhered a piece of Balmy Blue Country Gingham Designer Series Paper to my Mint Macaron card base (Mint Macaron is also retiring). I cut a banner end from a 5″ x 2″ piece of Mint Macaron Country Gingham Designer Series Paper, and adhered the banner to the card front as well.

A small amount of Stampin’ Seal was applied to the middle of the card front. I looped Linen Thread around three of my fingers four times, fanned out the loops then adhered one end of the loops to the card front.

The image of the goose holding the “Thanks” banner was stamped onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. I used the second to largest scalloped die from the Layering Circles Dies to cut out the image, then adhered the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The image of the goose and frog was stamped onto the inside panel and colored in using Stampin’ Blends. The inside panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same goose and frog image was stamped onto the lower corner of the envelope front and also colored in with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, 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. Several Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the card front and this completes this fun thank you card! Such happy images! You can read more about retiring items below.

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 this week!

I used the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the Loveliest Layers Decorative Masks to create my card for the Hop today! My card is a CASE from Gail Ellis with Blue Rose Paper Treasures. I changed up a few things on my version of the card. I love this color scheme!

We have a “Sketch” challenge this week!

I began with a Basic White cardstock panel measuring 5″ x 3-3/4″. I used one of the masks from the Loveliest Layers Decorative Masks and lined the mask up on the white panel then used Post It Tape to hold the panel and the mask down to my work surface. Using a blending brush, I lightly blended Crumb Cake ink over the mask and panel to create the background. This panel was then adhered to a Basic Black mat.

A strip of black cardstock was cut to 5-1/8″ x 5/8″ and adhered to the white panel and I centered this strip from top to bottom and left to right. A length of burlap ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack was adhered across the black strip and the ends of the ribbon were adhered to the back of the panel using Tear & Tape. The panel was then adhered to the front of a Crumb Cake card base.

Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the large and small flower image from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set onto Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Using the same blending brush, I blended Crumb Cake over the stamped flowers then used the coordinating dies from the Irresistible Blooms Dies set to cut out the images. From the same die set I also die cut the three open leaves from Basic Black cardstock.

Again, using the Stamparatus, I stamped the “Thank you” sentiment onto the sentiment label in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The sentiment label was matted to a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

The sentiment label was adhered to the card front slightly right of center using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flowers and leaves were dry fit onto the card front then adhered using a combination of glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, I stamped the large flower image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and blended Crumb Cake ink over the flower image. The small leaf set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink next to the flower. The inside panel was adhered to a Basic Black mat, then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

The large flower and small leaf set was again stamped onto the envelope front using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and Crumb Cake ink was blended over the flower image. The small leaf set was stamped onto the envelope flap using Memento ink. Matte Black Dots were added to the flower centers on the front of the card as well as a single dot to the left of the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today and thank you for stopping by! Black and white are always a classic look, but adding Crumb Cake to this card gives it a certain flare, I think!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Thank You Card

Send some cheerful tulips in a pretty thank you card! I used the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set, Tulips Dies, Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Deckled Rectangles Dies to create today’s card. Let’s take a look…

I started with a print from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper containing the colors of Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party and Soft Succulent. I adhered a panel of this paper to the front of a card base in Evening Evergreen.

Using the Tulip Dies, I cut all of the pieces needed to assemble three tulips. The photo below shows the dies used. Note that all tulip pieces were die cut from Basic White cardstock, not Soft Succulent. The two leaf images were stamped onto Soft Succulent twice then die cut. I used the die for the long, slender stem and die cut the stem three times from Evening Evergreen cardstock (not shown in photo below).

Using sponge daubers, I blended Calypso Coral ink over the white die cut tulip pieces for a large tulip and a bud. The remaining pieces for the other large tulip were blended in Daffodil Delight ink. I then assembled the tulips using small drops of liquid glue.

A rectangle was cut from Basic White cardstock using the third to largest die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies set. On this rectangle, I first arranged two of the leaves, then the stems onto the rectangle using glue. The tulip flower heads were adhered to the tops of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the 2″ Circle Punch to punch out a sentiment label from Basic White cardstock. The round “thank you” sentiment from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set was stamped onto the circle using Soft Succulent ink. The sentiment label was adhered to the bottom of the card front, covering where the stems and leaves meet. I tied a knot bow using a small length of Natural Finish Ribbon and adhered the bow to the card front using several Mini Glue Dots – placing it just above the sentiment label.

I adhered a 3/4″ strip of the designer series paper to the inside panel then adhered this panel to the inside of the card.

I adhered a different patterned paper from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper pack to the envelope flap – it still contains the same colors – and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Several Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were adhered to the card front to finish off the card.

Do you love these pretty tulips and the pretty Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock? These items may be retiring very soon so be sure to stock up!
