Stampin’ Up! NEW Citrus Blooms for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
6

Happy Thursday – and happy Spring as of the 19th! WooHoo. As I noted in an earlier post, I attended the SU! convention in Houston, and when I returned all my daffodils were (and still are) in bloom. So exciting! Love this season… My card today uses a brand new bundle called Citrus Blooms and it is gorgeous. Today I focused on just one of the dies. I used the die on a NEW DSP called Full of Life 6×6 DSP. I really like it. The card base is also a NEW COLOR – called Basic Beige. Later in the post I’ll show a photo of Basic White, Basic Beige and Very Vanilla as a comparison.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle. Thu hop 321

I simply adore the colors in this DSP… they are clear colors and flow from one to the other. The orange is the sunrise peeking through the leaves and the blue of course, is the sky :O). I know, I know, but this is what I see. And with the sun rising earlier here on the East coast, this DSP fits. So there. :O) The background paper is the new Basic Beige and it just ‘fits’ so easily with this DSP. I’m very excited about this new Basic Beige. So I used this gorgeous die from Citrus Blooms Dies to die cut the DSP, then adhered it to a Basic Beige just slightly larger. I then stamped it with Granny Apple Green ink using a sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set. These two papers were then added to a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals. I added some glam… Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies, inside of card

From the Citrus Blooms Dies cutting the DSP on the card front, this DSP piece was lest over. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green ink and adhered it to a panel of the Basic Beige card stock, then that to the inside of the card. When I look at this DSP on the inside of the card, I see a couple of things – first, a heart; second, simply a die cut piece :O)

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms bundle for the hop

I stamped the envelope front with one of the Citrus Blooms stamps in Granny Apple Green ink. For the flap, I used a remnant from the Full of Life DSP, adhered it in place and trimmed to fit. The envelope is a Basic White envelope. And there you have it – quite a pretty and simple card & envelope. Hope you like!

Look below for how & when to order this bundle… Now it’s time to continue the hop – don’t miss a single stop :O) visit each and ever one.

Comparing Very Vanilla, Basic Beige and Basic White card stocks. Quite a contrast with Basic White, but not so much between Basic Beige and Very Vanilla. Basic Beige ios a go-between and I think you will find it used a LOT in the coming days/ weeks.

The theme for today is ‘celebrate spring’ and I’m using the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Simply Zinnia bundle and the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnias Birthday

This Simply Zinnia stamp set spray is just so pretty. The colors I chose for these are Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, and Real Red with Daffodil Delight for middles and Old Olive for leaves – Stampin’ Blends of course. They almost look real. They were die cut with the coordinating Simply Zinnia Dies. The sentiment comes from Charming Sentiments and is die cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes Dies – stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink. Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins are the added touch of sparkly . My layers are… Flirty Flamingo card base with Lemon Lolly adhered directly to it. The top layer is the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder in Basic White. It is just gorgeous. It’s definitely a directional embossing folder, so know which way it’s going to be on your card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Birthday, inside card

For the inside: a layer of Lemon Lolly then the Basic White layer for writing on and a narrow strip of the Flowering Zinnias DSP along the side. It’s the little touches that make a card special.

For the envelope… Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 DSP on the flap and trimmed to fit. And yes, that’s a Pumpkin Pie color layer. Then along the bottom front, another strip of DSP that shows a bit of zinnia.

Stampin’ Up! Encircled in Nature Thank You card

Posted on by

Time change – how you doing with it? Today’s card uses an ONLICE EXCLUSIVE bundle called Encircled in Nature and I’m really liking it. I also pulled out some card stocks from the Annual Catalog I hadn’t used in a while: Rose Gold Specialty DSP and 23-25 In Color Luster Specialty DSP.

Stampin' Up! Encircled in Nature thank You card front

See the reflection on the card stock? Part of that is because it’s sparkly and created a reflection when the bulb flashed. The card base itself is Boho Blue cut in a standard A2 size. The Basic White layer is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and the Boho Blue 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP is 4 x 5 1/4. The wreath is die cut from Rose Gold SDSP and is beautiful. The die cut flowers off to the left are die cut from 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP Wild Wheat & Boho Blue and Basic White card stock. The floral spray is stamped on Basic White in Memento ink using the Encircled in Nature stamp set, then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Highland Heather, Orchid Oasis, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Color Lifter .All the die cuts use this new and fabulous Encircled in Nature Dies. The bow is a double bow tied with Baker’s Twine three-Color Pack from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The sentiment comes from the Encircled in Nature stamp set and is stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White strip It was attached with dimensionals. I added three Iridescent Foil Gems.

Stampin' Up! Encircled in Nature Thank You card, inside

The inside of the card has more of the die cuts flowers from 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP in Wild Wheat & Boho blue + Basic White card stock. These were adhered with liquid glue. A strip of the 23-25 In Color Luster SDSP in Boho Blue was added to the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Encircled in Nature thank you card & envelope

Because the card itself looks very Victorian to me, I pulled out the Poetic Expressions DSP in Boho Blue & added it to the envelope flap. This DSP comes from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I stamped the leaf image from the Encircled in Nature stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrating ONLINE EXCLUSIVES

Posted on by
1

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…

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Bundle In White

Posted on by

It’s rainy here today and should get to 51 degrees – spring IS in the air… I’m a latecomer to getting the Everyday Details bundle but I couldn’t resist the dies a moment longer. They arrived in the mail yesterday and I made this pretty card.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Detail Bundle in White

I paired the stamp set with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder and several Stampin Blends to color the stamped image. What do you think? Here’s how to replicate.

  • * Run the top half of the Thick Basic White card base through the Basic 3D Embossing folder (Crosshatch)
  • * Stamp the image from the Everyday Details stamp set on Basic White card stock in Memento ink
    • Color with Stampin Blends: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Light Shaded Spruce and Blueberry Bushel
  • * Die cut with the largest of the rectangle dies in Everyday Details Dies. This creates two cuts… the outer one that I adhered directly to the card front and the stamped panel as well. I did have to trim edges of the outer one to the size you see.
  • * Adhere the stamped image with dimensionals inside the outer ‘frame’
  • * add Brushed Basics Butterflies for a final touch

The inside..

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow sentiment

For the inside of the card I used a stamp from Garden Meadow stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on the Basic White panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details Bundle card & envelope

On the envelope… run the flap through the same Basics 3D embossing folder (Crosshatch) and stamp the cute grass and flower image in Granny Apple Green ink on the front. This image is from the Garden Meadow stamp set – and the card and envelope are ready to send. This card is specifically for a woman whose hubby has some health issues and she’s struggling to keep up with all the responsibilities. I should make a dozen of these and send to various folks. It seems lots of individuals are having a hard time these days :O(

Stampin’ Up! Inspirational Thoughts Just a Note

Posted on by

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.

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Thoughts card front

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)

Stampin' Up! Inspirational Thoughts card & envelope

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)

Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Sending Flowers

Posted on by

Good Saturday! I have a pretty card for you today that uses a suite of products from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and will be available Mar 5, 2024 – just around the corner.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia, Sending Flowers

This is an all-around lovely card: can be used for birthday to sympathy because of the sentiment. The card base is Petal Pink, 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. The next layer is Basic White cut 3 3/4 x 5 with a panel of the Flowering Zinnia 12×12 DSP cut just slightly smaller (3 5/8 x 4 7/8). Both pieces are adhered directly to the card front. From Basic White I die cut this Scalloped Contour Die and adhered it to the card front, centering. I stamped this bunch of zinnias in Memento Black ink – from the Simply Zinnia stamp set – then colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lolly (for the flower centers) and Lemon Lime Twist (for the stems & leaves.)I die cut the colored piece using the coordinating Simply Zinnia Dies. I put several dimensionals on the back & attached it to the card front. I tied a double bow with the 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine Pack in Parakeet Party which blended perfectly. This was attached with a glue dot. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink with a stamp from Simply Zinnia stamp set. I fussy cut the sentiment and attached it with dimensionals on the ends. As a final touch of glam, I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Petal Pink and added wink of Stella to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia, Sending Flowers card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the same image as the front of the card, with Petal Pink ink to a Basic White panel – and adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia, Sending Flowers card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the same pattern of DSP from Flowering Zinnias 12×12 DSP pack for the flap, and trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the double leaf image from Simply Zinnia stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Now, who wouldn’t want to receive this super pretty card?!

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Triple Box Card

Posted on by
4

Good morning! I’m still in my birthday week and folks have been so generous, both in sending cards and the giving of gifties. Of course, the best gift of all is the gift of friendship :O) Today’s card is just super cute – a triple box card. I may have done one of these in the past, but some time ago.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Triple Box Card

Is this cute or what?! The Translucent Florals stamp set is a distinctive stamp set, which means it has lots of dimension in the stamp. And it prefers an ink pad that is not too inky. The flower is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink and the leaves are stamped in Parakeet Party ink – both stamps from the Translucent Florals stamp set. Each was die cut with the coordinating Translucent Florals Dies. I also used the Leaves Punch and Vellum to punch some background for the main flower. These are attached to a Basic White Hexagon Punched background, some with with Stampin’ Seal or liquid glue. The flower is on a dimensional in order to tuck the leaves and Vellum elements behind it. The double bow is made with Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, Lemon Yellow & attached with a single glue dot to hold it in place.

The box itself is made with Berry Burst for the card base and Delightful Floral 12 x 12 DSP.

Card base: 8 1/4 x 4, scored at 2, 4, 6, & 8

Small boxes for front (2) – same color as card base: 8 1/4 x 2 scored at 2, 4, 6, 8

Mechanism to hold decorated element- same color as card base: 3 x 1/2 scored at 1/2, 1, 2, & 2 1/2

DSP (Designer Series Paper): (2) 3 3/4 x 1 3/4; (10) 1 3/4 x 1 3/4

Directions:

  1. Burnish all score lines. See photos for reference
  2. Add adhesive to smallest scored section, fold over and adhere. Do this for all three boxes.
  3. Add DSP to inside of tallest box sections. This will be the inside back of the box.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Here For You card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on by
15

Today is Thursday – which means, it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I really like these color combinations. Perennial Lavender 12 x 12 DSP fits the bill perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here For you Card front

I started by determining the showy piece of Perennial Lavender DSP for the front of the card. I die cut the piece with a Deckled Rectangle Die. And yes, I could have used the Perennial Postage Dies instead – and you could easily make that change if you decided to CASE this card. I wanted a slightly less ‘edgy’ look and that’s why I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I backed the DSP with a Basic White panel. I used another piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP to die cut the floral image. I adhered it to the DSP panel with dimensionals that I trimmed down to size, then added a double Linen Thread bow and attached it with a glue dot. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Perennial Postage stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, cut it apart & fussy cut around the single word – setting the rest aside. I created a Gorgeous Grape card base and covered it with another Perennial Lavender DSP panel just slightly smaller in size. I attached the showy DSP panel to the card front with dimensionals, then added the sentiment with glue on the one end and a dimensional trimmed down to size on the overhanging end. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems near the sentiment for a glitzy touch.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here for you, card inside

For the inside of the card, I used the other floral die cut and adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel. I took the rest of the stamped sentiment from the card front & cut it apart, added it to a same pattern DSP as the large front panel, trimmed it to a unique shape and adhered it with liquid glue.
