On March 5 there are several new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE sets that will be available for purchase. As a demonstrator, we have an advantage of viewing/ purchasing/ playing with products before they become available to the general public. This Zinnia suite of products is one of them – and I’ve been having a ton of fun with them. For this project I’m making ‘mini cards. Essentially they are 6 x 3 to begin and finished is 3 x 3 ‘gift cards’. I used the Zinnia Dies and another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (set of 3, this in particular is the Cross Hatch). I also incorporated the Postage Stamp Punch, a part of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, on which to adhere the die cuts. And the embellishments are Petal Pink……. The sentiment is from Garden Meadow stamp set, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item., stamped in Petal Pink ink. The die cuts are cut from Granny Apple Green card stock & petal Pink card stock, adhered together with liquid glue.
Here you can see the inside of the 3 x 3 card… I had trimmed the stamped sentiment into segments, and fussy cut them. This is adhered directly to the inside of the 3 x 3 card. The envelope has this very sweet Petal Pink Polka dot from the Zinnia 12×12 DSP.
On the second notecard, I used the Zinnia 3D embossing Folder that is part of the bundle (stamps, dies & EF) and Basic White card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink from the Simply Zinnia stamp set and fussy cut it as well, putting dimensionals on the back and adding it to the embossed front. I had adhered the Zinnia 12×12 DSP to the 3×3 card front, wrapped a 2022-2024 In Color Twine around it and tied aknot, then added the embossed layer with dimensionals. I added three Petal Pink embellishments…. I used the same DSP for the envelope flap.
The last 3×3 card is the Zinnia 3D embossing Folder embossed on Basic White and adhered. I tied a bow from the 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine and adhered it with a glue dot. The sentiment was again stamped in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips, adhered with dimensionals. More Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added to the front for glam. The inside of the card got the rest of the sentiment adhered with liquid glue; the envelope more of the Flowering Zinnias 12×12 DSP on the flap. And done…

Here are additional photos of cards I have created with the Simply Zinnia suite of products. Click on the photo to take you to the post of the card.
I absolutely love the images in the Inspirational Thoughts stamp set! But my favorite is the daisy bunch. I stamped it in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White piece cut 4 3/4 x 3 1/2. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Lemon Lolly, just on the flower centers. It doesn’t show but I also added Wink of Stella in those same spots. I ran this through the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder (a FREE item with a qualifying order through Feb 29.). I then added a slightly larger piece of Lemon Lolly card stock to it and wrapped a length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon around both and tied a knot, holding it in place with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Inked & Tiled stamp set, again in Pebbled Path ink. I die cut the sentiment with the Something Fancy Dies, put dimensionals on the back and attached it over the ribbon. This entire piece was added to a Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly for more charm.
For the envelope I again used the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder to add pattern to the flap. On the front of the envelope, I stamped this ‘chicken scratch’ image, just for decoration :O)
What do you think? My inclination is to make several cards with the daisy bunch, but maybe changing out the colors, maybe color the flower petals in a pink & add a pink ribbon & embellishments. Anyway, this would make a fun gift with a set of five of these. Of course there are other images in this stamp set that could also be used. This image is just my favorite. You may see more of these in the future :O)

Good Friday morning! Ok, December 1 it is and the countdown begins to Christmas or end of year 2023. I hosted a card class yesterday and we have been making cards with the Kraft Note Card & box set. I shared the box some time ago, but I think not this shadow-box card. Click here to see the box post. We used the Fruitful Blessings bundle (includes coordinating dies), Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, several Stampin’ Blends, Vellum, Deckled Circles Dies, O Holy Night DSP, Wild Wheat and Old Olive card stock.
From the front it is not obvious this is a shadow box card. And, I’ve used two note cards adhered together to make this work. For the front, here’s what we did…
Stamp the image: acorns w/ leaves & additional acorn using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set & Memento ink on Basic White card stock.
Color the acorns with Wild Wheat & Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves with Stampin’ Blends Old Olive.
Die cut a few leaves from Old Olive card stock using the Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Die cut a circle from Vellum using the Deckled Circles Dies (these may be found as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES).
Die cut stamped images using Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Run a panel of Wild Wheat through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.
The Kraft Note cards are 7 x 5 scored @ 3 1/2. Score again @ 6 1/2. Take another Kraft Note Card and cut to just shy of 4 x 5 and score @ 1/2 at each long side. Adhere the two note card together so they measure 5 x 10 1/2 and score marks appear @ 3 1/2, 6 1/2, 7 & 10. Adhere Tear n Tape between score mark 10 to end of card @ 10 1/2. Die cut 3rd full panel with the Nested Essentials Dies. (For this card I used the Nested Essentials Dies, but would prefer the Countryside Corners Dies.)
I got too excited aboput putting this together that I didn’t take enough photos!!! But here’s the inside. On the 2nd panel is the O Holy Night DSP cut just slightly less than 3 1/2 x 5. The stamped image is from Fruitful Blessings stamped on Basic White, colored with various Stampin’ Blends and adhered in place. Colors are: Wild Wheat, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Copper Clay, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Orchid Oasis. After adhering this colored piece in place, remove seal on Tear n Tape, close card so this adheres to the back of the card front. The single acorn die cut & the acorn w/ leaves were done same as the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set. The finished card will look like this from a top view.
The finished envelope… more of the O Holy Night DSP for the flap and this wonderful leaf image stamped in Old Olive ink from Fruitful Blessings stamp set.
The class LOVED this card. The images are just wonderful and could be used any time of year – fall or spring.

Good morning! It’s the ‘day after’ the OnStage@Home event… (now two days after – – – computer issues put a stymie on everything!) and there were several demonstrators from around the world providing tips, tricks and sharing some ideas on new products that will be offered in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. As demonstrators and those of us who attended the @Home event, we were able to order the Bee Mine Suite of products and make a card with card cuts provided by Stampin’ Up! I did that and today’s card is one we made. This is a fairly simple card, one that could work with new stampers.
This card uses Daffodil Delight as the card base, and a stamped layer added with dimensionals. The stamped layer uses the honeycomb stamp in the Bee My Valentine stamp set and Daffodil Delight ink. Also, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink from Bee My Valentine stamp set. Adhere the two panels of Bee Mine 12×12 DSP at an angle using Stampin’ Seal. Stamp the portions of the bee in Memento ink on Basic White scraps and punch out with the coordinating Bee Builder Punch. Adhere parts together with small dots of liquid glue and add to card front with dimensionals. I added the fun Pool Party heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers pack that is also part of the suite.
I added a strip of the plaid Bee Mine 12×12 DSP with Stampin’ Seal, then fussy cut this adorable bee holding a heart from the other side of this Bee Mine 12×12 DSP and adhered it in place with liquid glue – all on a Basic White panel.
And here’s the card & envelope. Remember, no naked envelopes! More of the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP on the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front… these cute hearts from Bee My Valentine stamp set, stamped in Pool Party ink all along the bottom. Very cute! Love this bee & it’s coordinating punch. There are at least three options for bee faces in this set.
Ok – so I ‘hear’ the question… how do I get my hands on this set of products?

Hi folks – Friday I received another package from SU! – more bundles from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog! YAY! I decided to play with the True Beauty bundle – why I didn’t get this first off, I have no idea.
L-O-V-E… One of my favorites is the lattice die – oh my goodness… so delicate and beautiful. Here’s my card.
True Beauty.1
I’ve used several SU! products to make this card – and it’s all worth it (at least to me): Thick Basic White for the card base with a layer of Awash In Beauty 12 x 12 DSP adhered directly.; Lovely Layers Vellum just slightly smaller came next and was attached with Stampin’ Seal in the middle where I wanted to place the circle.; the lattice was die cut from Basic White using one of the dies in the True Beauty Bundle (Organic Beauty Dies). I added it with dabs of liquid glue around the edges and some in the cross places. The next layer is a circle cut with the largest of the Layering Circles Dies from a Basic White piece, then run through the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for … you know, more texture :O) I stamped the flower itself using Sweet Sorbet ink stamped off once or twice then die cut with the Organic Beauty Dies. The leaves were stamped on Basic White and die cut with the Organic Beauty Dies.Both were adhered over the circle with dimensionals. I used a sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set and stamped in Memento ink, die cut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. You KNOW this coordinates with Hello Beautiful stamp set, right??? This also was added with dimensionals. I tied a double bow with the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party and adhered it with a glue dot. If the bow wasn’t enough for glam, I added three Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels. And the card front was done…
True Beauty 1, inside
For the inside, I stamped this wonderful design in Pear Pizzazz ink on yet another Basic White piece. I wanted a bit more texture so scored two lines on the left side, avoiding the stamped design. What do you think? Like it? I adhered this panel to the inside with liquid glue.
True Beauty 1. 3
Envelope… Some of the same Awash In Beauty 12 x 12 DSP on the flap. For the front, another of the same stamp in Pear Pizzazz ink as the same as inside the card.
Love the femininity of this card – and the colors too. This bundle is quickly becoming a favorite. Hope you like!

Happy Monday… it’s also Memorial Day, a day in which we give thanks to those who gave their lives for this country, for our freedom to think, to speak, to worship. Many have no idea what that really means ~ the ultimate sacrifice. Let me say, it’s a privilege to be an American citizen. There are incidences that occur that do not make me proud, and yet, we strive to do better, to be better. On this day as we consider the full meaning of Memorial Day, may we strive to be a better citizen, a better member of this country, a better person.
Today’s card is made with several items from the Stampin’ Up family… the Pretty Flowers embossing folder, Pocket Envelope Dies, Tea Boutique 6×6 DSP, Penned Flowers Dies, Go to Greetings stamp set and Opal Rounds. And, there may be one or two other items as well. :O) I love the Tea Boutique 6×6 DSP – so many ideas float through my head. One of the papers I especially like is the one with the cutest little envelopes with flowers sticking out of it. I pulled out the Pocket Envelope Dies and made a cute pocket for a special note inside it. I used the Go To Greetings stamp set to stamp the sentiment for the note in Orchid Oasis ink. Before I get toon far, here’s the completed card.
Pocket Envelope Dies.1
It’s funny how we can see things in a photo we didn’t notice before… for instance, the bow sdhould be straight on the ‘pocket’. Oh well, that cannot be changed now! That cute bow is made with one of the dies in the Envelope Dies. It comes in two pieces and I added the largest of the Opal Rounds on the bow. This is one of ‘hand deliver’ kind of cards as the bow would be crushed in the mail. And that cue bow would be adorable on small gift boxes. Yet, I digress :O)
The card base is Orchid Oasis card stock with a layer of Basic White, then another layer of Orchid Oasis run through the Pretty Flowers EF. You know, there are two sides that can be used with this EF: embossed and what I’ll call de-bossed. One side has more raised impressions and other more outline.
Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.1
Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.2
Can you see the difference in the two? I chose to use side 2. And here’s the back side of the ‘pocket’ and where I added Tear ‘n Tape to adhere it to the card front.
Pocket Envelope Dies.2
One thing to notice is side 2 of the DSP, cuz this will show at the top of the pocket. While I added a ‘note’ inside it, it does still show, so just be aware of that when putting your card or something else together. The size of the ‘note’ is about the size of a credit card, if not just a bit longer. I wanted the sentiment on it to show. :O) Orchid Oasis for the note base and a Basic White piece adhered to it after stamping. Nothing else.
For the inside of the card, I wanted to carry out the idea of the envelope on the DSP, filled with flowers. The Pocket Envelope Dies has small leaves, so I die cut several of those in Garden Green. The flowers were die cut from Penned Flowers Dies in both Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis. I used small scraps to adhere to the back side of the flowers contrasting the background. I thought we had an envelope die, maybe in a past set… anyway, I created my own kind of ‘willy nilly’.
Pocket Envelope Dies, inside
Didn’t this turn out sweet? It looks very similar to the ‘envelope bouquet on the DSP! The leaves were all adhered with dabs of liquid glue while many of the flowers have mini dimensionals on the back to create depth – even though it’s the inside of the card. This is probably my favorite part of this card ~ the inside.
OK, the envelope… an embossed piece of Orchid Oasis was added to the flap and a bouquet was stamped in Memento ink on the front, then colored with Fresh freesia and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends. That very sweet bouquet is from Happiness Abounds stamp set.
Here’s a photo of the card, envelope.
Pocket Envelope Dies.4

And our sketch challenge is this…
And here’s the card I created for the challenge. It uses the Abigail Rose 12 x 12 DSP as the focal point. Don’t you just love this DSP? Gorgeous… I colored the one flower with Stampin’ Blends Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight. For background interest I used the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder on a Basic White panel and added it directly to the Thick Basic White card base. The next two layers are a piece of Early Espresso and the colored Abigail Rose DSP, adhered together then popped on dimensionals and added to the card front. The sentiment panel is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White scrap, then added to another strip of Calypso Coral adhered to the front on dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set. Finally, two Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels were colored with the Dark Calypso Coral Blends and added beneath the sentiment.
Abigail Rose.1
For the inside of the card, I stamped one of the smaller flowers from the coordinating Cottage Rose stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel, then colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. This was adhered to a slightly larger panel of Early Espresso card stock, then added to the inside of the card. Voila!
Abigail Rose, inside
For the envelope, I used the medium rose from Cottage Rose stamp set and stamped the envelope front – Early Espresso ink of course and three more on the envelope flap. I chose not to color these – don’t ask me why, I don’t know. And that was it. Love the versatility of this layout and this DSP. Just change the sentiment and it could be sympathy, birthday, get well – you name it. It isn’t a masculine card, but change the DSP for that :O)

Happy Sunday. Today is concert day for us! WooHoo! OK, maybe that’s enough of that. I have another triple stamping card today – one we made in card class last week. This time it’s more masculine – or could be, inked with Starry Sky using Nature’s Prints. And the layers are off-set for a bit of change. I almost like this better than the one from the other day.
This post was written and saved – but in the wrong spot and so… didn’t get posted. Today is actually MONDAY, the day after our concert :O) – which was really fun. Hopefully this will come through properly today.
Triple Stamping w/ Naturte’s Prints.1
I did all the cutting prior to doing the stamping, it’s just easier that way.
Basic White card cuts: 4 x 5 1/4 (2); 3 1/4 x 3; 3 x 1 1/4. Place together using removable tape or glue dots. (as I mentioned the other day, glue dots work fine, but you do have to be ultra careful when taking the papers apart, due to tearing.) My key is putting these together was to have the second panel about 1/2″ from the left edge and the top panel 1/2″ from right edge. That way it looks balanced.
Starry Sky card cuts: 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/; 3 1/2 x 3 1/4; 3 1/4 x 2
Stamp the sentiment first: Nature’s Prints in Starry Sky ink. Stamp the Basic White panels (remember they are together) with this beautiful leaf from Nature’s Prints inked with Starry Sky ink. Press firmly but do not wiggle the stamp. Now take basic white stamped pieces apart and adhere to appropriate Starry Sky pieces.The second layer is on dimensionals, while the top layer is adhered with liquid glue. With all in place, add the three Solid Faceted Gems. I used Pool Party but the Night of Navy would look nice too.
Nature’s Prints, inside
This sentiment again comes from the Nature’s Prints stamp set using Starry Sky ink. I stamped the blotch after stamping off twice (and maybe should have stamped off one more time.) This card can so easily be used for ‘thinking of you’ or birthday, and masculine too. Adhere this panel to the inside and done!
Triple Stamping w/ Nature’s Prints.3
For the envelope, I stamped the blotch stamp from Nature’s Prints in Starry Sky ink, stamping-off twice, on the front, and did the same all over the flap. I just forgot to take a picture of it – silly me! I hope you like this card – and this technique. This would also be a perfect sympathy card with the right sentiment; soothing and comforting.

Happy post Mother’s Day – I hope all those nurturing women realize how precious they are! Today’s card will put a mile on your face: bright, cheerful and well, just lovely. Let’s have a look.
Sending Smiles take 2
I’ve used the new Sending Smiles bundle (coordinating Sending Dies), Fern 3D Embossing Folder (it’s gorgeous!) 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP and 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots. For the sentiment I used Nature’s Prints stamp set – also a newbie, Lovely Layers Vellum and the Banners Pick a Punch. You could take this same layout and create this card using all the new In Colors. I haven’t, but you could. Let’s do the step by step…
Run a panel of Basic White through the Fern 3D embossing Folder (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). This folder makes a very nice impression. If you want it a bit more, you can lightly spray it with water and it leaves a deeper impression.
Add this panel to a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.
Cut a piece 2 x 3 1/2 from Sweet Sorbet 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP
Cur another piece from the Layering Vellum pack that is 2 x 3
Place the two panels at an angle on the card front and adhere. To do that with the vellum panel use just a bit of Stampin’ Seal.
Stamp the flower in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White scrap & die cut. Set aside.
Stamp the larger stem in the new Parakeet Party ink on Basic White. Stamp it again in Garden Green and die cut both. I removed the Garden green leaves from the stem with paper snips and added them to the Parakeet Party stem, off-setting a bit so both colors show: the single leaf was added with liquid glue, the others with dimensionals. Adhere the stem directly to the card front with liquid glue, then add the flower on dimensionals
I added a banner (5/8 by about 3 3/4) from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Sweet Sorbet. The end was trimmed with the Banners Pick a punch, then adhered with dimensionals.
I used Nature’s Prints stamp set for my sentiment, stamped in Memento ink – cuz I really really like the font. This was die cut with the amazing Stylish Shapes Dies. Add this to the card front, dimensionals on the top & liquid glue on the banner.
For a final touch, I popped on two 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Parakeet Party and the card front was done.
Sending Smiles take two, inside
I kept the inside super easy but wanted the colors to come through. A 4 x 5 1/4 panel of the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Sweet Sorbet was added to the inside with liquid glue. Then I cut a panel of Basic White 3 3/4 x 5, stamped the flower in Sweet Sorbet, center with Daffodil Delight and the stem with Parakeet Party, adhered it to the inside and bingo.
Sending Smiles take 2
For the envelope, I created the very same flower for the envelope front: stem in Parakeet Party, flower in Sweet Sorbet and flower center in Daffodil Delight. The flap got more of the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP, this time in Parakeet Party – done, done. Love how cheerful and friendly this card is.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme this week is LEAVES – and interpret that however we like – so… here goes! Be sure to follow along to see all the wonderful projects.
Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.1
My goodness, did I have fun with this card. See that stunning color on the inside of the rectangle? Love, love. And it was created with several colors… but I get ahead of myself just a bit. Begin with a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, die cut and remove the center. With Blending Brushes create this gorgeousness: begin with Crushed Curry, then Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, and finally Cherry Cobbler inks. Beginning with the lightest of colors and continuing to add each layer, this beauty was created. The next step was to use a Water Painter and flick water droplets, which takes some of the color away. I actually did this process twice so I could die cut leaves from the second piece. That second leaf above is cut from the additional creation. Before die cutting it though, I stamped it with Soft Suede ink using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set, stamped off once, then die cut with Intricate Leaves Dies. The top leaf is also die cut with one of the Intricate Leaves Dies – and from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty 6×6 paper. I then colored it with Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and accented it with Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. I added a bit of Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to the stem and into a bit of the vein on this leaf. My next die cut was the tiny leaf from Gold Foil. I adhered these to the frame of the Very Vanilla with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink using a sentiment from Forever Blossoms stamp set. I put dimensionals on the back of this Very Vanilla panel but did not attach it yet. First I placed the panel on the card base, then laid the gorgeous colored rectangle on the Very vanilla card front & adhered it with liquid glue. I then adhered the front panel so it was ‘square’ with the inner piece.
Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.2
Here is another of the die cut leaves using the Intricate Leaves Dies, cut from the additional colored panel. Once I adhered the leaf with liquid glue, I flicked Soft Suede ink of the Very Vanilla panel, but not all over, just in places. I then stamped the sentiment (from Party Puffins stamp set) in Pumpkin Pie ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card – and bingo, the card was done!
Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.3
For the envelope I stamped this fun leaf (I think it’s a maple leaf) from Gorgeous Leaves stamp set with Pumpkin Pie ink and sponged daubed on the edges Cherry Cobbler ink. The front leaf is full strength. The leaves on the flap were 2nd & 3rd generation stamping. You can see the Blending Brushes used here in this photo – and the beautiful detail of the Intricate Leaves Die to create the top leaf.
For this card in particular, I kept wanting to add something, metallic adhesive-backed gems or linen thread or doodles along the right. But I stopped. The look is clean.
