Stampin’ Up! Showing Off Velvet Meadows SDSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m showing off a new Specialty Designer Series Paper for it. I’ve created three cards but the first is the first is my favorite. Why is it special – because it has raised areas that feel like velvet!!! Hence the name – Velvet Meadows

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card front 1

This card began with one of the new IN COLOR card stocks – Peaceful Pine 11 x4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (side fold). I used a SDSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 from Velvet Meadows SDSP.. The next layer is another Peaceful Pine with the gorgeous velvet side of the Velvet Meadows SDSP – adhered together & added with dimensionals. I then die cut some of the flowers from the SDSP using the coordinating Flowering Meadows Dies. I fussy cut several leaves: leaves & flowers were added to the card front with dimensionals. Now we have two layers of dimensionals in total. The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst using the Flowering Meadows stamp set and fussy cut, then added with dimesnionals. Final step – two stunning embellishments: Dreaming Flowers in whiten – yep, from the suite!

For the inside… I stamped this floral image from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Berry Burst on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This was attached to the inside side of the card.

For the envelope… I stamped this same image in Berry Burst on both the flap & the front of the envelope. This just ties everything together making it look so perfect!

My next card is again a card base of Peaceful Pine5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (top fold). I embossed a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 with the Paradise Garden 3D embossing Folder & attached it to the card front. The next layer is Peaceful Pine with a layer of the Velvet Meadows SDSP & attached with dimensionals. In this suite of products is the Velveteen Assortment Special Paper – this one used is white. I die cut these gorgeous small leaves using the Flowering Meadows Dies. On Basic White I stamped the daisyin Peaceful Pine ink, then die cut the center with the Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper in White and attached this by adhering the stem with liquid glue & a mini dimensional on the back of the daisy flower.

For the inside, I stamped off the stems & image in Peaceful Pine on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 & attached it – no sentiment!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 front
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 inside

For this last card, I used Berry Burst for the card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 – top fold). I layered this with Velvet Meadows SDSP 4 x 5 1/4. The next is Berry Burst & another of the papers in Velvet Meadows SDSP – I LIKE this contrast! I’ve added no sentiment or any kind of embellishment. The SDSP speaks for itself.

For the inside, I stamped the double flower image in Berry Burst ink on the Basic White panel (5 1/4 x 4) & adhered this to the inside of the card. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink using the Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 2 & envelope
Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 & envelope

Here are the envelopes for the two additional cards: the left stamped with Peaceful Pine ink: full strength then stamped again & once more without re-inking. This was sone on the envelope front & the flap. The envelope on right is stamped off erry Burst ink and the same double flowers image from Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Now… check out what others on the hop are creating. I had extra fun making cards with the same layout but each with different layers/ embellishments or very simple & just paper, Each is so different from the next, which makes it extra fun.

Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to our HOP! We have a color challenge today… I’m using a NEW product available May 5 called the Relaxing Waterside bundle & it’s coordinating Designer Paper called Waterside Retreat. Let’s take a peek…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Color challenge

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card front

I used Cloud Cover for my card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) then layered a panel of a new IN Color called Crisp Cantaloupe (4 1/8 x 5 38) then a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP. I die cut the chair from Wood Textured Specialty Paper & added it with dimensionals. I also stamped grass images in both Pecan Pie & Old Olive onto Basic White scraps & die cut them. They are part of the Relaxing Waterside bundle & just add wonderful dimension to the card. Last thing was to stamp the seagulls in Cloud Cover ink – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card inside

For the inside – on a Basic White piece (4 x 5 1/4) I stamped these sentiments in Cloud Cover ink and attached the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card & envelope

For the envelope… On the backside of this particular sheet is this wonderful stripe pattern – I used that for the flap then stamped more seagulls on the front with Cloud Cover ink. Here on the East coast, seagulls swarm wherever there are people with food. They get quite aggressive in taking food, sometimes right out of one’s hand!!!

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of the Silly Old Bear Suite & a Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Do you remember the adorable stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh, Eyeore and Piglet? There are others animals produced as well, but I have to say – I loved these animals and the stories that went with them. So when this suite of products became available to demonstrators, I had this suite at the top of my list.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin ‘ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to play with this Silly Old Bear Suite of products available to customers May 5.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursaday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch Challenge

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card front

I am really appreciating the new IN COLORS! This card base is Hydrangea Hue 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added this awesome picture panel, cut directly from the 12×12 Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. On the lower part of the card front is this stunning label, die cut from Very Vanilla card stock using the Sweet Words & Labels bundle. The sentiment? from the same stamp set – Sweet Words & Labels – stamped in Crumb Cake ink. The embellishments are Neutral Matte Dots.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card inside

For the inside of the card I used another sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp aet, stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was die cut using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. I adhered it to a the inside of the card after attaching a piece of the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP. I then stamped the image of Silly Old Bear & Piglet walking together – using the Sweet Old Friends stamp set. This set also has coordinating dies – and they die cut images straight from the DSP. You are so going to LOVE THIS suite of products. This suite is a May ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and will be available May 5.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Silly Old Bear DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and for the front, this sweet Pooh Bear & Piglet walking along. I did use Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to add some shading – and for Piglet a bit of Old Olive for the top he’s wearing. Below is an image of the suite collection – look at those fun dies! Oh my gosh… so much fun! This takes me back to earlier years for sure.

Hello – and WELCOME to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I hope you’ll make the effort to visit those participating in the hop today – you’ll see some fun & awesome creations. We have a color challenge today and I’m highlighting mostly Petal Pink & Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front

This card begins with a Petal Pink card base & overlay of Basic White run through the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder.. Next are two strips of the Brushed with Beauty DSP adhered directly to the BW panel. Next a Basic White die cut of several leaves adhered. Leaves were stamped with Old Olive ink & die cut. A single large flower was stamped in Petal Pink ink: outline stamp in full strength and filler in stamped off once Petal Pink. I added the leaves to this piece and attached dimensionals & added these to the front of the card. I also die cut the large flower outline and stamped the center with Early Espresso ink, then attached it just in the center of the die cut – to the flower. Final touches: a double Linen Thread bow and three Pearls of Beauty.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card inside

For the inside of the card… on a Basic White panel, I stamped the floral outline stamp with cajun Craze ink and the filler in stamped off Petal Pink ink. The center was again stamped with Early Espresso ink. This panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card & envelope

Finally, the envelope… another strip of the Brushed with Beauty DSP was added to the flap – and this card is ready to send. I love the layers of this card – and the femininity too. This card can easily be a sympathy or sending love or thinking of you or birthday – it versatile.

Stampin’ Up! Lazy Daisy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to Thursday and the fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve turned it sideways, I also think it fits the sketch. .

Stampin' Up! Blog hop group
Stampin' Up! Blog hop sketch
Stampin' Up! Lazy Daisy card front

I’ve been playing a lot with this embossing folder. It’s a new one – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and I’m loving how beautiful it is. I’ve kept this card really simple to show off the beauty of this embossing folder. The card base is a standard A2 size, 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4. The embossed layer is 5 x 4 1/4 and is attached to the Thick Basic White base with liquid glue. I used Smoky Slate ink to stamp the sentiment on a Basic White piece- from You Are Beautiful stamp set. I die cut this with Nested Essentials Dies – a carry over set into the May-Aug 2026 catalog. I adhered this with dimensionals to the next larger die cut in Smoky Slate. The two were attached directly to the embossed panel. I wanted a bow & decided this 1/” Variegated Trim would do the trick – & attached it with a glue dot. Final step… two 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Stampin' Up! Lazy Daisy card inside

For the inside I decided to do something I haven’t done in a bit – use my scoring tool to create some lines. I turned the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel to the back and scored three lines. I turned the panel 90 degrees and did the same again. Turning this to the right side, the score lines are raised and just what I wanted. This created a simple & elegant border to the left and bottom. This was attached to the inside of the card and is ready!

Stampin' Up! Lazy Daisy card & envelope

For the envelope… I used another stamp in the You are beautiful stamp set – the large leaf – and Smoky Slate ink to stamp several times on the flap and once on the envelope front. This is such a nice set and I haven’t used it nearly enough!

So here’s my question… do I need the bow? Or, shall I remove it?

To purchase the products to make this card, check the list below & place that order with me. 😀 With every order Stampin’ Up! gives you rewards that you can use with your next order.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog Hop

Posted on by
4

Good morning & happy Thursday! We have a fun them challenge this week as part of our hop. i’ve created a spring-like card with lots of layers & texture & I hope you’ll like it.

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card front

I began by creating the background for the stamped & die cut leaves on a piece of Basic White card stock. Using size E acrylic block I added ink colors of Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist by simply stamping the ink pad on a portion of the block. I spritzed this with water and stamped it directly to the card stock. I left this on the card stock for a bit to get it to soak in. I pulled out the large leaf stamp from Nature’s Symphony and inked it with Garden Green and stamped it on the inked card stock. I cut this down to size (3 1/4 x 4 1/4) and added it to a Garden Green panel 3 3/8 x 4 3/8. The next step was to add this beautiful laser cut leaf from the Covered in Flowers Accents (Jan. ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) with dimensionals. I die cut the stunning leaves from Granny Apple Green and attached it with both liquid glue & dimensionals. I added a double loop Linen Thread bow with a glue dot. This was attached to a Basic White panel run through the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder (4 3/16 x 5 7/16) and then to a Garden Green card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 4 1/4. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink on a Basic White scrap (also from Nature’s Symphony stamp set) & die cut with the smallest Everyday Arches Dies. This was added with dimensionals. Final step… three Shades of Green Hexagons were added.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card inside

For the inside… on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White, I stamped the small leaf image from Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Garden Green three times – each without re-inking. This gives a wonderful depth to the image. This piece was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card & envelope

For the envelope… I repeated the process of stamping three times on the envelope front – first time full strength then two more times without re-inking. I repeated this process on the flap. LOVE how this turned out – and hope you do as well.

Now… on with the hop! Click the next button to take you to Nicole or click on a name to take you elsewhere – but be sure to visit all those participating in today’s hop – such great creations!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
2

Welcome, welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m using the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP to show off. This one does not have a scene, but it does have this beautiful pattern of light Calypso Coral & Pecan Pie. I’ve paired this with Beautifully Celebrated Dies from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. This bundle of stamps & dies is very versatile! I’ve also brought in the stamp set Prayers & Promises from the same Jan-Apr – 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery 6x6 DSP card front

In looking closely to the card, I hope you see the Damask Designs 3D embossing behind the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP. Those wonderfully scalloped ovals are from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. I die cut these from Pecan Pie card stock and Basic White. The stamping was done with Pecan Pie ink prior to die cutting. The embellishments are Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral. And the ribbon – 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. 😀

Stampin' Up! hop sketch challenge

Directions:

  • The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Pecan Pie with a Layer of the same color & same size, embossed with damask Designs EF & attached to the card base.
  • The Calypso Coral portion of the card is 8 1/2 x 4 3/4 scored at 4 1/4 on the long side & attached to the card front.
  • Layer a panel of Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (from the Annual Catalog!) 4 1/4 x 4 5/8 to the Calypso Coral
  • Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White 2 x 2 1/2 & die cut using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. Add with dimesnionals to a Pecan Pie piece die cut with the Beautifully Celebrated Dies
  • Loop a length of the 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon and attach to the back of the Pecan Pie die cut, add these to the card front with dimensionals.
  • Final touch… two Pearls of Beauty embellishments in calypso Coral
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Galley card inside... Beautifully Celebrated Dies

For the inside of the card… on the panel of Basic White I added die cuts of these two corner pieces, die cut from Calypso Coral using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. They add such a fun texture & ‘eye candy’ to the inside of the card, nothing else is needed.

Stampin” Up! Celebrate Spring for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on by

We have a fun challenge today for our blog hop group… Celebrate Spring! What does that mean to you? For me it means early bulbs are popping through the remaining grass & leaves – we have sweet, sweet snowdrops coming up! What else does it mean – new birth? Baby Chicks? Baby rabbits? And searching through the woods for morel mushrooms – I did this with my Mom. They were oh so good. Spring is – it’s coming just around the corner.

Stampin' Up! Cute As A Bug card front

This Designer Series Paper, Cute As A Bug, is just so sweet – bugs & mushrooms and perfect for spring. I couldn’t resist working with it. So I trimmed it into these rectangles and it makes a nice scene. I used the coordinating stamp & die set (the Sweet Bugs Bundle) to die cut the flowers and the small mushroom group. just above the sentiment.

The card base is Soft Sea Foam and I layered another panel of the same color to the card front after embossing it with the Birchwood 3D embossing folder (OOPS! This item is retired!). The layers under the DSP are both Two-Tone: Soft Sea Foam & Old Olive. The ink used for the sentiment is Old Olive ink. The flowers & the mushroom were added with dimensionals. And the sweet ladybug is from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.

  • The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.
  • The embossed layer is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 added directly to the card front.
  • Cut the DSP 2 3/4 x 4, then trim to 1 3/4 x 1 1/2, leaving a strip 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; 1 x 2 1/2, leaving a strip 1 x 1 1/2.
  • Add these to a layer 3 x 4 1/4 as shown, keeping the images intact, and another 3 1/8 x 4 3/8. Put dimensionals on the back and add to card front
  • Add die cuts & sentiment – all from Cute As A Bug bundle
Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card inside

For the inside… I stamped the word ‘friend’ from the Sweet As A Bug stamp set, taping off the Hello and inking with Old Olive ink. Across the bottom are these adorable flowers, also stamped in Old Olive ink, repeatedly across. I used Daffodil Delight Marker to create the center color then used Wink of Stella to pull that color into the flower petals. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card and voila! Ready to send to someone to cheer them.

Welcome to Thursday’s hop! We have a fun sketch challenge for you today and I think you’ll like what you see from all those participating. Thanks for dropping in, whether you came from fabulous Tara or someone else, I’m glad you’re here. We’ve had a bit of snow this week & this card definitely says SPRING! Let’s take a peek…

Stasmpin' Up! Paradise Garden & Vellum

I’ve used Vellum again and the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder for the card front, The Vellum is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 4 1/8 and only the front is embossed. This bundle (Paradise Garden Bundle) will be available Mar 3 as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden stamp set
Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden Dies

One of the dies is this curvy piece that I’ve used for my large panel, cut from Lemon Lolly card stock. The leaf is stamped & die cut with parts of the Paradise Garden set.I used Soft Sea Foam ink on a Soft Sea Foam card stock. I used Iridescent Pearls in two sizes as embellishments, also the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack from the Annual Catalog – in Lemon Lolly of course to create the double bow.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden inside.1
Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden inside.2

On the inside of the front Vellum embossed panel is another of the strips die cut from Lemon Lolly and attached. It doesn’t exactly match, due to the curves, but I like the way it looks & it covers the adhesive. Facing on the inside… and in the same area as the Lemon Lolly panel facing it, is stamped a leaf image in Soft Sea Foam using the Paradise Garden stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Daffodil Delight and uses Paradise Garden stamp set. I used a template from the curvy die cut to know exactly where to stamp 😁 This Basic White panel is added to the the Vellum, then the Vellum is attached to a Daffodil Delight piece 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden back of card

For the back of the card … another panel of Basic White stamped with the sentiment in Daffodil Delight using the Paradise Garden stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Paradise Garden card & envelope

For the envelope I sued another leaf from the Paradise Garden stamp set & Soft Sea Foam ink to stamp both the front of the card & the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Delicate Whispers from March Online Exclusives

Posted on by
10

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & i’ve chosen to wirk with a new soon to be released March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Delicate Whispers. I’m using both the stamp set & the dies plus a couple of other fun products. Here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes Bundle, card front

Do you notice all those beautiful and delicate die cuts of leaves & fronds? They are from the Delicate Wishes Dies which are part of the Delicate Whispers Suite Collection to be released March 3.

Stampin' Up! hop sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Delicate Whispers Bundle, March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE

I began by die cutting all the pieces I wanted to use from the Delicate Whispers Dies using Nature Walk 12 x 12 DSP & the coordinating Natural Hues 12 x 12 from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog pages 38-41. The Very Vanilla panel is the smallest of the Branching Out Dies, and cut down even more narrow for my purposes. The embossed panel is die cut from Nature Walk DSP using the Fragrant Layers Dies, a January ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I embossed this piece using the Delicate Whispers stamp set, VersaMark ink and WOW! Gold Embossing powder & heat set it.

Layers:

  • Mossy Meadow card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/8 with Nature Walk DSP cut 3 7/8 x 5 and attached to i, then added to card base with dimensionals

I added the die cuts to the card front with liquid adhesive then attached the Very Vanilla die cut with dimensionals. The embossed banner was attached with Stampin’ Seal. Two Natural Matte Dots were added to the banner (part of the Delicate Dreams Suite Collection)

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes bundle, inside card

On the 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla panel I added another of the die cuts from the Delicate Whispers Dies cut from Natural Hues 12×12. I stamped the sentiment from Delicate Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink, added the rest of the Die cut banner from the Fragrant Layers Dies. The final step was stamping the beautiful frond from Delicate Whispers stamp set in Crumb Cake ink.

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes card & envelope

I stamped the same delicate frond as on the inside of the card on the envelope front and added more of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the flap – & one & done! This card fits so many possibilities: masculine, birthday, just a note, friendly hello – the list goes on. I hope when these items are available you will give them a ‘go’.
