Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Birthday Card in Blues

Today’s card was created using the Textured Floral Bundle along with some of the pretty Fresh As A Daisy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The Boho Blue designer series paper background, combined with the Azure Afternoon flowers and touch of Night of Navy greenery blend well together!

I started off by stamping the flowers in Azure Afternoon ink. The flower center for the large flower was stamped in Night of Navy and I die cut the center for the small flower from Night of Navy Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper. Leaves were stamped in Garden Green and I used the coordinating dies from the Textured Floral Dies set to cut out these images. I also die cut a greenery sprig from Garden Green cardstock and two sprigs from Night of Navy Soft Shimmer paper.

I used the second to largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies to cut out an octagon in Basic White. The birthday sentiment was stamped onto a white sentiment label and matted to a piece of Night of Navy Soft Shimmer paper.

All of the stamped and die cut flowers, leaves and greenery were arranged and adhered to the octagon, leaving space at the bottom of the octagon for the sentiment label. I adhered the arrangement to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the sentiment label was adhered slightly overlapping the bottom of the octagon using a combination of Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.

The inside panel was decorated with the small flower stamped in Azure Afternoon. The flower center was stamped in Night of Navy.

The envelope front was adorned with the same small flower image, and I adhered a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins were added to the card front along with a small double bow tied from white Baker’s Twine to complete the card!

Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Sending Hugs Card

The Crafting With You Bundle helps you to create adorable cards for your crafting friends who knit, crochet, paint, sew or paper craft! The set includes images such as this basket, yarn and spools of thread in addition to a sewing machine, buttons, paint brushes, an easel, embossing machine and paper trimmer!

I started off by using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a Balmy Blue panel. I then wrapped Linen Thread around the upper third of the panel then adhered the panel to a Lemon Lolly mat. This was then adhered to a Crumb Cake cardbase. I then stamped the basket and yarn image and used the coordinating dies from the Crafting With You Dies to cut out the images. I also die cut several spools and thread along with a ruler. These images were adhered toward the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and liquid glue.

Two sentiment labels were die cut using the Something Fancy Dies – a smaller label in Lemon Lolly and a larger label in Pecan Pie. I stamped the sentiment onto the Lemon Lolly label then adhered it to the larger Pecan Pie label. The sentiment label was then adhered over top of the wrapped Linen Thread and positioned to the left of the card front. A large double bow was tied with Linen Thread and adhered to the right side of the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot. The bow was tucked slightly under the label.

I die cut the scissor image twice – once from Basic Black cardstock and once from Silver Foil. I cut the scissor points apart from the Silver Foil set and adhered the scissor points to the black scissors using glue. A silver Festive Pearl was adhered to the scissors just above the blades. How realistic are these scissors? The scissors were adhered to the upper right of the sentiment label at an angle.

For the inside panel I stamped the basket in Pecan Pie ink and used a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend to add a little shadow to the basket side and bottom. I placed a Post It Note across the top edge of the basket and second-generation stamped the yarn image then used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. An additional sentiment was stamped onto the panel and then the panel was adhered to a mat in Lemon Lolly then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same basket and yarn images were stamped onto the envelop front and colored in using Stampin’ Blends. I adhered a piece of Pecan Pie Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Several Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems were added to the card front to finish off the card.

I really enjoyed creating this card! I plan on giving this particular card to a crafting neighbor of mine…I think she will really like it! You can download, save and print the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic Gift Box

This pretty little gift box measures 4″ x 4″ x 2″ and was made using paper from the Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Bubble Bath cardstock. The flowers that adorn the top of the box were created from cardstock scraps using the Paper Florist Dies. The Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper has a wide variety of pretty patterns and it is a large pack of paper…and, it is currently 1 5% off during the month of June! You can read more about the Designer Series Paper Sale going on now in the article below.

If you missed my Facebook Live video yesterday showing how to use the Paper Florist Dies, click here to go to the video now.

Once the 8″ x 8″ box bottom and the 6″ x 6″ box lid were cut, I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score each side of the pieces. The Bubble Bath box bottom was scored at 2″ on each side of the cardstock and the box lid was scored at 15/1 6″ on each side of the paper (the lid needs to be scored just shy of 1″ so that the lid will fit nicely onto the box bottom). I then burnished all of the score lines using a bone folder.

At the corners of each piece, I cut from the edge of the paper to the score line, cut a wedge on each side of the corner tabs, then cut each tab in half. With the bottom and lid facing up, Tear & Tape was applied to each corner tab. The protective covers on the tape were removed and I turned the pieces over to begin adhering the corner tabs to the insides of the bottom and lid.

I used a length of Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon and wrapped the ribbon around the box and used a piece of Tear & Tape to secure the ribbon to itself. You can of course use a longer length of ribbon to wrap the box and then tie a bow. Since I had some pre-assembled flowers from the Paper Florist Dies already completed, I used several of the small flowers to decorate the top of the box. Each flower was adhered to the box top using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I then tied a small bow from the Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the wrapped piece of ribbon using a Mini Glue Dot.

You can download, save and print a pdf tutorial which provides complete instructions for this project by clicking on the image below.

Gift boxes are so fun and easy to make! Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper makes them that much prettier! I hope you’ll give it a try!

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Adventure Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects in the Hop this week…I know the projects will be inspirational as always! If you are hopping over from Terry Lynn’s blog…welcome and thanks for stopping by!

My card today was created using the Zany Zoo Bundle and the Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.  Mr. Lion is on a grand outdoor adventure and is bringing Happy Birthday wishes!

We have a Color Challenge for today’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I was able to use all five colors on my card. Here is the Color Challenge…

I started off by cutting a rectangle from Pool Part y cardstock using the 3rd to largest die in the Deckled Rectangles set. This panel was then dry embossed using the crosshatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. I adhered a Pumpkin Pie mat to my Crumb Cake card base, then adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I selected the lion image from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and fussy cut the lion and campfire. I used Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. Several clouds and pine trees were die cut using the Zany Zoo Dies. The lion was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and I adhered the clouds and pine trees to the embossed panel as well.

I stamped the birthday sentiment onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and used the banner die included with the Zany Zoo Dies to cut out the sentiment. A length of Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon was adhered diagonally across the top right corner of the embossed panel, and I used a combination of Stampin’ Dimensionals, glue, and a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the sentiment label over the ribbon. The ribbon ends were trimmed flush to the top and side of the card base.

An additional sentiment was stamped onto the inside panel. The raccoon holding balloons was stamped onto the lower left of the panel and I used Pumpkin Pie, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends to color in the image along with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The panel was adhered to a Pumpkin Pie mat then adhered to the inside of the card.

The envelope front was decorated with the same raccoon image and I used the same colors of Stampin’ Blends to color in the image. A piece of coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope.

The Zany Zoo Bundle and Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper make for some fun children’s cards…so cheerful and sure to put a smile on your face! You can view, download, and print the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Pretty Wall Hanging

I had an absolute blast creating this pretty wall hanging using the Paper Florist Dies and scraps of cardstock! I could not wait to get my hands on this die set. This is a stand-alone die set in the 2023-2025 Annual Catalog and I missed it the first time around! The Paper Florist Dies comes with a ton of dies that can be mixed and matched and you are only limited to your imagination in creating beautiful paper flowers in every color for your projects, cards and scrapbooking projects!

I first sorted through my cardstock paper scraps to determine the colors I wanted to use for this project. I started die cutting all of the pieces I would need. I did play around a bit before assembling the flowers by layering up different components. I kept my flowers fairly simple for this project, but you can definitely add lots more layers to your flowers!

I did use some non-Stampin’ Up! supplies to create this project – including a 6″ x 6″ wood sign, some craft acrylic paint and glue gun. I first prepared the wood sign by lightly sanding it with fine sandpaper to remove any rough spots. I then applied two coats of craft acrylic paint, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second coat. After the flowers were assembled, I used a glue gun to adhere all of the flowers to the wood sign.

A Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon bow was added to the top of the sign, and I added a large white Iridescent Pastel Gem to the center of the large Berry Burst flower for some added sparkle.

If you like to make seasonal projects just think what you can create with the Paper Florist Dies! Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Spring, Summer and Fall…by changing up the colors of your flowers!

A complete list of products used along with die cutting and assembly instructions are included on the linked project tutorial. You can download, save and print the pdf tutorial by clicking on the image below.

There is lots going on in the Stampin’ Up! world…especially in June and July so be sure to read through this post…you don’t want to miss anything! Have a wonderful day!

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! Darling Details Note Card

The Darling Details Bundle and the Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper were used to create this sweet card! Check out the eyelet-like frame!

I began with a white panel and used the two-step stamps to stamp two large flowers and two flower buds in Gorgeous Grape ink. Leaf sprigs were stamped in Parakeet Party and the smaller flowers were stamped in Petal Pink. I used a blender pen to dot the centers of the smaller flowers with Gorgeous Grape ink. The flowers and greenery were stamped radiating out from the center of the panel.

I used the large frame die from the Darling Details Dies to cut out a frame in white and adhered the frame to the stamped panel. A mat in Gorgeous Grape was used to create a drop shadow behind the white panels. I added a panel of the Regals Designer Series Paper to the card front in a Gorgeous Grape polka-dot pattern and then the matted white panels were adhered to the card front. I applied a small amount of Stampin’ Seal onto the center of the card front and attached a large, loose bow tied from Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon. The sentiment label was adhered over top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Several die cut open flower and greenery sprigs were die cut using the Darling Details Dies and I tucked these slightly under the sentiment label on the lower right and upper left of the card front.

On the inside panel I stamped the same two-step large flower in Gorgeous Grape and added a leaf sprig which was stamped in Parakeet Party. Small flowers were stamped around the large flower in Petal Pink. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same flower and leaf images were stamped onto the lower left of the envelope front and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap with the excess paper trimmed away from the flap. Several Lemon Lime Twist Tinsel Gems were added to the card front to finish up the card.

I really like the purple, green and white together and the whimsical flower images from the Darling Details Stamp Set are so cute! If you would like to recreate this card you can download, save and print the pdf tutorial by clicking on the image below.

Wishing you all a happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day! I am so grateful to those who gave their all for our country so that we may be free!

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! Lasting Joy Fun Fold Friendship Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’m looking forward to seeing the projects in the Hop this week…I know the projects will be inspirational as always! If you are hopping over from Terry Lynn’s blog…welcome and thanks for stopping by!

My card today was created using the Lasting Joy Stamp Set and the beautiful Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and it is a fun fold!

We have a sketch challenge for today and here it is!

This fun fold is essentially two card bases, where the smaller card base is adhered to the front of the large card base. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ and scored the cardstock on the long edge at 3-1/4″. A piece of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper in a Boho Blue print was added to the front of the card base. I punched a 2″ circle from white cardstock using the 2″ Circle Punch and decorated the circle using the flower images from the Lasting Joy Stamp Set. By the way…the flowers in this stamp set coordinate beautifully with the flowers on the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper!

I cut two strips of Night of Navy Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper to 3″ x 3/8″. I used the Banners Pick A Punch to punch banner ends on each strip then adhered the strips together in an X shape and adhere this to the upper right of the small card front. The stamped circle was added over top of the crossed banners using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel I stamped the sentiment “I’m so thankful” and stamped flower and greenery images on the lower right and upper left of the panel. The panel was adhered to a mat in Boho Blue and then adhered to the inside of the card. This smaller card was set aside for now.

A piece of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper in a Night of Navy print was added to the larger Boho Blue card base. The inside panel for this card was stamped with an additional sentiment…”For You” – and I stamped the same flowers and greenery around the sentiment in Boho Blue, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat. The panel was adhered to a Night of Navy mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

Glue was applied to the back of the smaller card and adhered to the front of the large card, making sure that the small card was centered from left to right and top to bottom.

The envelope front was decorated with the same flower and greenery images and a piece of coordinating designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope. I added a small blue 2023-2025 In Color Dot to the flower on the front of the card. A length of Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon was used to tie the card closed in lieu of a belly band.

This was a fun card to make…I just love all of the blues together along with a touch of Wild Wheat and the fun fold provides lots of space to use the pretty Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper! You can download, save and print the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

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!
