Stampin’ Up! AC Wildflower Suite Fun Fold for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and you know what that means – a VERY FUN HOP! We have a color challenge today and I’ve chosen to use the Wildly Flowering DSP as my focus and the coordinating suite to highlight this fun fold card.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Fun Fold card front

This is called a JOY FOLD card – and is two cards in one so to speak. The colors are mostly Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Moody Mauve. This is just gorgeous Designer Series Paper – Wildly Flowering 12 x 12 DSP. And here’s how we put this together…

  • Build your card base first: Wild Wheat 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3
    • Add DSP layers: 4 x 5 1/4 (inside right panel) and 2 3/4 x 4 (inside flap – I embossed this panel in the Dashing Designs 3D EF) and another flower panel on the left front 2 3/4 x 4
    • On the inside front panel, die cut from Wild Wheat the hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies; add to panel.
    • Stamp this larger flower on a Basic White scrap in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Color with Stampin’ Blends Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow. Add to hexagon and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots.
  • Create the ‘mini’ card: Crumb Cake 3 x 8 and scored @ 4.
    • Add to card base, centering it on the right card base panel
    • Add DSP to inside right mini card 2 3/4 x 4 and to mini card front 2 3/4 x 4 (embossed with Dashing Designs 3D EF)
    • Decorate mini card front: die cut from Basic White both the scalloped hexagon and the stamped hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies. Adhere the scalloped design directly to the mini card front. Stamp the remaining hexagon with Wildflower Designs stamps – the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink and the dots in Crumb Cake ink. Add to mini card front with dimensionals and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots, part of this suite of products.
    • To the inside of the mini card… stamp the sentiment on a Basic White panel (2 3/4 x 4) in Crumb Cake ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Add a stamped & die cut flower: stamped with Memento ink and colored with Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends & die cut with Wildflower Designs Dies.

With the card complete… time to decorate the envelope… add another panel of Wildly Flowering DSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap and trim to fit. On the front, stamp another of the flowers from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow.

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday! And that means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with the Wildflower Designs stamp set, the Labeled with Love Punch and Full of Life 6×6 DSP to create my card.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card front

I began by punching these fun shapes using the Labeled with Love Punch and Basic White card stock. I used scraps but you could cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2. I stamped these with two different flower designs – in Memento ink using Wildflower Designs stamp set. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends In Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock. I then used the Summer Splash ink and the splotch stamp in the same Wildflower Designs stamp set, stamped it off once and then on the flower. I varied the placement of the stamping so it didn’t look too uniform. With the stamping and coloring completed, I cut a Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added two strips of Pretty in Pink card stock 1 x 4 1/8 with stampin’ Seal, then added the stamped flowers with dimensionals. I like to place my center panels first, then use equal spacing for the rest. I wrapped Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the card three times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimesnionals on the DSP and adhered it to a Petunia Pop card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. My final touch for the card front was adding Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in two colors.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card inside

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same DSP as the card front. I also had a length of the Black Baker’s Twine that I tied in a bow and added as an enhancement. This panel was adhered in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope – a bit of another panel of Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the flap adhered in place and trimmed to fit. I stamped another of the pretty flowers from Wildflower Designs stamp set on the DSP and yet another flower on the envelope front – both in Memento ink. Again, I used the splotch stamp and Summer Splash ink to stamp over the flower in second generation ink. This is such a happy card – and I know to whom I’ll send it!

Stampin’ Up! Special Slider Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to Thursday and this fun hop… … I made a slider card – something I have not done before. It’s easy enough, I just haven’t done it. We have a color challenge today and I’ve chosen Petal Pink, Pool Party and Smoky Slate. Hope you like…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog hop color challenge
Stampin' Up! Slider card w/ Country Flowers Bundle& Wildflowers Designs Dies

The Country Flowers bundle has become a favorite. I didn’t think it would, but the coloring is fun and it relaxes me. AND… besides being a bundle and always 10% off when purchased as a bundle, it is on sale at an additional 10% off through end of June (June 30). What’s not to like about that?! I also used the dies of another bundle – Wildflower Designs Dies, but as a bundle, it is also on sale at the additional 10% off.

My first step to create this card was to stamp the images of the flower and container from the Country Flowers stamp set and color them with Stampin ‘ Blends: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and Basic Black. I die cut the images with coordinating Country Flowers Dies and set them aside to create the card itself.

My next step was to cut the card stock and DSP pieces:

  • Pool Party – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 & 8 on the long side; 3/4 x 3 1/4; 3 1/2 x 2 (slider)
  • DSP – Country Woods was my choice for this card – 3 3/4 x 5 1/4, adhered to the card front between the 4 & 8 score lines
  • Basic White – 3 3/4 x 5 14 (for the inside slide); 3 1/2 x 2 1/4 (slider) 2 1/2 x 4 (flowers & container)

Use the Wildflower Designs Dies to die cut the slider sections for flowers & container, adhere the two layers together. Place the flowers & container together adding adhesive just at the base of the flowers, so they are now one piece. Position them for ‘placement purposes’ on the two slider pieces to know where to stamp the sentiment. The sentiment is from Country Flowers stamp set and stamped in Memento ink. Now add dimensionals on the back of the flowers & container only where they will adhere to the slider & attach. Set aside.

For the card base… adhere the DSP (Country Woods DSP) in the area between the 4 & 8 score lines. Burnish all score lines. On the 1/2″ end add tear n’ tape. Now place the small scored end into the paper trimmer to 1 1/2″, cut from the 1″ mark to the 4 1/2″ mark on your paper trimmer. This will be cutting through both the card stock and the DSP. Take the 3/4 x 3 1/4 strip and add a dimensional to one end and slipit into the slit all the way to the bottom of the slit. Turn card over and add tear n’ tape to the back side of the 3/4 x 3 14″ strip – see photo titled … “from inside.1”. Remove cover on tear n’ tape and add Basic White panel so it is even at the top and adhere to that tear n’ tape. It will be rather floppy at this point as it is only attached at the tear n’ tape.

Remove Tear n’ tape cover on the 1/2″ side, fold to inside and close back of card over the strip.

Use a 1 3/4″ circle punch to punch only the card front, not the Basic White piece that will slide. Add a length of ribbon – Petal Pink and White Diagonal Trim Combo Pack – and hold in place with a glue dot – staple it to secure. Pull panel up and stamp sentiment – again from Country Flowers stamp set in Memento ink.

Slider card closed and punched
Slider card decorated

Add the decorated piece to the single dimensional for the card front – and done! You will notice that I added another strip of the Pool Party to the inside of my card… I made a booboo and needed to cover it :O)

Inside card slides easily up & down :O). For the envelope, I kept it really simple – covered the flap in more of the Country Woods DSP and trimmed to fit. One & done.

Such a fun card to make… and super easy. Now, don’t forget a couple of things… stamp & die bundles are still on sale through Jun 30. See my link below.

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Welcome! It is the 2nd Tuesday of the month and time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy the creations you see today. The theme is ‘celebrate summer’ and we can interpret that any way that inspires. I think you may see a lot of different ideas here today. I have chosen to work with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Country Birdhouse bundle to prepare today’s card.

Stampin' Up! AIK Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Country birdhouse card front

This card uses two particular bundles: Country Birdhouse and it’s coordinating dies and Nested Friends and it’s coordinating dies. Nested Friends is now an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set, while Country Birdhouse is in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I began by making the birdhouse portion first then the rest of the card followed.

Directions:

  • Fold a piece of the Country Woods DSP (8 1/2 x 11 to 4 1/4 x 11)
  • Lay the birdhouse die (from Country Birdhouse Dies) along the fold line with one side of the roofline extending beyond the cutting line until it is OVER the fold – meaning it will NOT cut along the fold. (You can place either side of the roof beyond the fold). Die cut. You now have a birdhouse that opens & closes along one side of the roof. :O) YAY!
  • Die cut the hole opening using the appropriate die
  • Die cut the additional roof decorations from Country Woods DSP – noting the direction of the grain (this happens to be the Misty Moonlight color in the pack)
  • Die cut the bottom panel on the birdhouse – adhere all pieces. There is one die cut from Basic White and I layered it over the other two, where they are adhered together.
  • See that little small circle piece below the opening – that is supposed to indicate a landing spot for the birds!
  • Stamp the bird on the front in Memento ink and color with Watercolor Pencils: Real Red, Early Espresso, Basic Gray
    • These are house finches – the male has the red head and a bit of red down the front breast. Intermixed is some gray & brown.
    • I used short strokes, not covering the entire bird at once, to make it look more like feathers.
    • I colored the eye with a Basic Black Marker using the fine tip end
    • I clipped the beak down the center of it, cut a short length of Linen Thread, took the fibers apart and ‘encouraged’ them into the cut of the beak. I turned this item over and added a dot of liquid glue to secure the thread in place. I put dimensional on the bird and added it to the birdhouse front. The male finch is helping it’s partner build a nest – it’s what they do!
  • To create the opposite facing bird is called ‘reverse stamping’.
    • Using Memento ink, ink the stamp and stamp a Window Sheet, then turn the window sheet over and place it on a Basic White scrap. Rub over the window sheet without it moving, then lift window sheet. A bird stamped in reverse has been created!
    • Color it with Watercolor Pencils: mostly Early Espresso, Basic Gray, just a bit of real Red and some Crushed Curry. Keep going over this until satisfied with the result. This is a female finch!
Stampin' Up! Step 1 Reverse Stamping
Step 1: stamp window sheet
Stampin' Up! Step 2, turn window sheet over onto card stock, ink side down
Step 2: turn window sheet over, ink side on card stock
Stampin' Up! Reverse stamping - bird

First of all, more photos should have been taken! What you are seeing is the female finch bird already die cut & adhered in place. :O(

I used the Nested Friends stamp set for the nest, inked with Early espresso ink then used a sponge dauber to add a bit of Copper Clay in places, then stamped it directly to the inside of the birdhouse. I adhered the female finch inplace with liquid glue. I diec ut another piece of Country Woods DSP for the bottom strip on the birdhouse inside.

The card base is Early Espresso, 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Adhered to that is a Country Woods panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 that I ran through the Timber 3D embossing folder. I stamped this wonderful branch in Early espresso ink using the Nested Friends stamp set, then die cut it with Nested Friends Dies. I adhered the tree branch in place with mini stampin’ dimensionals. I took a length of Linen Thread and put it over the branch and adhered it in place with Seal+. I adhered the birdhouse over that with liquid glue – to make it appear as though the birdhouse was hanging from the tree branch.

With the card front complete, I worked on the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse card w/ Nested Friends

I began by stamping the branch from Nested Friends in Early Espresso ink on the Basic White panel. Using the Country Birdhouse stamps, I stamped the bird on the left in Memento ink, then stamped the bird on the right using the Reverse Stamping method. I colored the leaves with Stampin’ Blends: Granny Apple Green. I stamped the sentiment from Country Birdhouse in Early espresso ink. With the stamping complete, I adhered this to a slightly larger Misty Moonlight, then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse card & envelope

For the envelope, I used more of the Country Woods DSP to add to the flap, trim to fit. I stamped the bird on the right side using the reverse stamping technique as mentioned above.

Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Thinking of You card

Good Tuesday morning! I have a sweet thinking of you card today using the awesome Sketched Butterflies stamp & die bundle. I also incorporated the Labeled with Love stamp set and die bundle – both of which will be available as part of the 10% off stamp & die set bundle sale that goes live Jun 5 and continues through Jun 30. That 10% off is IN ADDITION TO the always 10% off when purchasing stamp & die bundles. Let’s look…

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies card front

I like the idea of versatility for a card when I’m not creating for a specific individual – and this card is just that. The card front is layers of Balmy Blue for the card base, then Highland Heather, Basic White and Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue. The ‘frame’ for each butterfly comes from the Labeled with Love stamp set, stamped in Memento ink & die cut with it’s coordinating die. On each ‘frame’ is a stamped butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set. Stamped with Memento ink on a Basic White scrap, the two outside butterflies were colored with Stampin’ Blends: Light Balmy Blue on the body center & inner wings, Light Highland Heather then Light Fresh Freesia on the outer portions of each wing – both adhered with dimensionals to the ‘frame’. The center butterfly has two parts: the same Memento stamped image but stamped on a scrap of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and die cut with the butterfly outline die from Sketched Butterfly Dies. The overlay is the intricate die cut from the same scrap of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. These two were adhered together in the middle with a dab of liquid glue and a Purple Fine Shimmer Gem was added to it. This was attached to the ‘frame’ with mini dimensionals. I added little doodle dots with my Basic Black Marker on the two outside ‘frames’. Attaching the frames to the card front: I attached the center ‘frame’ first, centering it on the card front, then added the outer two, creating equidistant margins.

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies card inside

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Labeled with Love stamp set in Memento ink on a scrap of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and fussy cut it with my paper snips. This was adhered to the Basic White inside panel and that was adhered to a Highland Heather panel and both to the inside of the card. As I’m writing this, a friend is having surgery tomorrow, and since the sentiment is ‘thinking of you’, it will be perfect! But it could also easily be a sympathy card, an ‘in general’ note or a birthday card!

Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterfly Thinking of You card & envelope

The envelope flap has the very same Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue adhered & trimmed to fit. I stamped a different butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set – in Memento ink – directly on the DSP. On the envelope front is the same butterfly as the flap, stamped in Memento ink and colored as those on the card front: Stampin’ Blends Light Balmy Blue, Light Highland Heather & Light Fresh Freesia. When working on an envelope, remember to slip a card scrap inside so the alcohol blends do not bleed through!

Stampin’ Up! has a new offer beginning June 5 – 30, 10% off any Stamp & Die set bundle AND 10% off the Mini Die Cut & Emboss machine as well as the standard size Die Cut & Emboss machine. I encourage you to make your list and take advantage of this generous offering.

Stampin’ Up! Full of Life & Flowers of Beauty Dies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I can hardly wait to see what others on the team have created.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inki9n' Thursday Blog Hop color challenge
Stampin' Up! Full of Life DSP & Flowers of Beauty Dies card front

Aren’;t these great colors? Bright, cheery, happy colors. I have someone specific in mind for this card. It was really quite quick and simple – and sometimes that’s best.

I began with a 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2, Basic White card base and adhered a piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP to the front (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). I die cut the fronds using the Flowers of Beauty Dies and adhered with dabs of glue. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Basic White using Pumpkin Pie ink and the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. I die cut this with the Stitched Shapes Dies. I folded over a piece of the Bordered Ribbon in Peach Pie and added it with glue dots over the fronds. I put dimensionals on the die cut circle sentiment and placed it over the ribbon. Finally, I added three Opal Rounds Assortment in Night of Navy.

Stampin' Up! Full of Life, card inside

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink using another stamp in the Wonderful thoughts stamp set and another panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4. I added this to the inside of the card, then adhered a strip of the Full of Life DSP at the bottom, full width of 4 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Full of Life & Flowers of Beauty Dies card & envelope

For the envelope, I took a piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP cut 2 1/4 x 6, adhered it to the envelope flap – and that was it. I love the simplicity but also the effectiveness of this card – full of thanks and appreciation.

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Checking In

Playing with the Citrus Blooms bundle… and made this simple. but layered card. With the Mediterranean Blooms DSP and a couple of coordinating Dies, it’s super easy. Here are two dies that fit this particular sheet.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies on Mediterranean Blooms DSP

Is this stunning DSP or what?! And here’s the card I created using that larger die and the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle card front

And here’s how I did this…

  • Thick Basic White for the card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Layer: Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 run through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered to the card front
  • Using three dies that ‘fit’ together, die cut Basic White 4 x 5 1//4. This creates the gorgeous leafy background, frame and inner leafy pattern. Adhere these as another layer to the card front
  • The large orange pattern from the Mediterranean Blooms is added with dimensionals, centering it. I added Wink of Stella to the shaded portions of the leaves & oranges. TIP: you get a better glitter of the Wink of Stella if you squeeze a bit on an acrylic block and add it to the desired area.
Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms  DSP with Wink of Stella

Can you see the sparkle? It doesn’t show well at all in photos!!!

To complete the card front, I stamped the sentiment on Basic White strip using a stamp from Citrus Blooms stamp set and Garden Green ink. I attaached it with dimensionals and added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Peach Pie. I may have to add two more on the lower left!

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies, inside

For the inside, I added a piece of Peach Pie card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 to the inside of the card. I die cut a Basic White panel with Citrus Blooms frame die, stamped the sentiment in garden Green ink, then added the three blooms on the lower left in Lemon Lolly ink and a Peach Pie Marker for dots in the center of the flowers. These stamps are part of the Citrus Blooms stamp set. And this panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle card & envelope

For the envelope I cut a piece of a different pattern from Mediterranean Blooms DSP 2 1/4 x 6, added it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Done! Such an elegant look! I toyed with the inside, whether to leave it all white or not. I think if I do this card again, I would make the inside all white. Thoughts? Opinions?

OK – now for some links to purchase these gorgeous items…

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold

Spotlight On Nature is SUCH a beautiful Bundle – all those incredible circle dies with sweet designs around. I’ve used two of them on this card.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold

I used the Country Woods 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) for the layer on Crumb Cake card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 5 12). Because of the window die cut, when adhering the DSP, adhere only around the edges! I used Stampin’ Seal just to keep it simple for me. Next I die cut the window on the card front by placing the appropriate size die on the DSP with the card base open. I then die cut the outer rim circle in Balmy Blue. Remember I’m using Spotlight On Nature Dies. To create the rim takes two dies as the dies cut along the outside only. Just reserve those die cut pieces for a later use. Next I stamped the Spotlight On Nature floral image in Memento ink on a Basic White piece and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. Using my Color Coach as a guide, I used Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce Blends, then splattered ink spots with the Balmy Blue then with Basic Black Marker. How to do this, gently flick the brush end of the blend against the cap, flicking toward the project. This can be a bit messy, so be certain other items are out of the way :O).

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold, inside
Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold, inside folded

To create the z fold portion… cut a Basic White piece 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 and score on the long side at 4 & 6 1/4. Score to make the Z – valley, mountain. Stamp this as desired. Here I stamped the leaf image in Shaded Spruce ink making certain not to go above the card front opening. I stamped the Butterfly in Memento ink then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie and Balmy Blue. On the far right side of the Z fold I added a strip of Subtles 6×6 DSP cut 2 x 5 1/4. I adhered this Z panel to the inside of the card. With the card closed and the Z folded, I placed the flower die cut in the circle, adhering it just to the Z panel. It should open and close without catching. As a final touch, I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Balmy Blue. Love, love! I realized the area where I used Stampin’ Blends on the butterfly was showing through, so I added another panel of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue cut 2 x 5 1/4 to that strip.

Stampin' Up! Z Fold

The envelope got more of the Country Woods 12×12 DSP adhered to the flap (2 1/4 x 6) and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the floral image again from Spotlight On Nature in Memento ink. As you see, I only stamped the medium size flower & leaves, and colored them same as the circle die cut image: Stampin’ Blends Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z fold card & envelope

I imagine all kinds of possibilities with this Spotlight On Nature Bundle! It is a definite MUST HAVE!

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Card

Oh my goodness – there are some really pretty bundles in the new 24-25 Annual Catalog. This one is extra special. For one thing, I think it’s the simplicity of the stamp set. The other of course are the many circle dies and the designs in them.

Last night was a wierd sleeping night for me – I got up at 12:30 AM cause sleep was avoiding me and stayed up until a bit after 2. That’s when I created this card.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card front

I began by stamping the image from Spotlight On Nature in Memento Ink, then coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade for the flower tops and Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green for the stems/ leaves. I die cut it with the die shown, from Spotlight On Nature Dies. For the background I pulled out the Brights 6×6 DSP Poppy Parade and trimmed it to 4 x 5 1/4, added it to a Basic Black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then directly to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of Basic White to the center of the card, then added the stamped die cut over that with dimensionals. For a bit of bling, there are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped this stunning leaf image from Spotlight on Nature in Memento ink on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. I colored the leaves in Stampin’ Blends, using Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. I love the contrast these colors give!

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Brights 6×6 DSP in Poppy Parade on the flap and trimmed to fit. The leaf image on the envelope front is the same one used on the inside of the card, stamped in Memento ink but not colored. It creates a stunning contrast.

I want to use the same stamps and coloring but use a Crumb Cake embossed background – lots of ideas spinning in my head this AM! This is a bit brighter than I would normally do – perhaps it was the middle of the night thing :O)

OK – Tuesday, May 21, Stampin’ Up! has a FREE SHIPPING opportunity for those placing orders of $75 or more – and it can be ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, cardstock, DSP, acrylic blocks, stamp & die sets, clearance rack items, 24-25 Annual Catalog items – you name it – all the products Stampin’ Up! offers.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

Good morning – May 1, the start of the NEW 2024-2025 ANNUAL CATALOG. Yeeha – it goes live today! I have a couple of new team members I want to welcome so created a card with the Thoughtful Journey DSP. This is such pretty paper and I chose this pattern to showcase today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

I cut the DSP 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 then on the short side cut it in half again, creating two strips. The strip on the left I cut 1 3/4 off the top. The remaining strip I cut 1 3/4 off the bottom. Laying them on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 4 x 5 1/4 created this pretty scene. I adhered the pieces in place, keeping the spaces even all around then added that to a Thick Basic White card base. The stamped sentiment is done in Mossy Meadow ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set. I cut it with a banner die in the Unbounded Love dies. I took a length of Linen thread and wrapped it around a bit, then added it to the back of the sentiment die cut, adhering it in place first with Stampin’ Seal+, then added a couple of dimensionals. After attaching it to the card, I trimmed the one end. I added three Purple Shimmer Gems as a final touch

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes, inside card

For the inside, I pulled out Thoughtful wishes stamp set and with Markers, inked the stamp: Blackberry Bliss for the flower part and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I gave it a good haw with my breath to add a bit of moisture and stamped it on a piece of Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die in Thoughtful Wishes Dies and added it to a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White and Mossy Meadow 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Welcome, welcome!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey

For the envelope, I pulled another of the beautiful DSP from Thoughtful Journey pack and added it to the envelope flap and to the bottom of the envelope front. This paper looks like watercolor images and are just stunning.
