We have a sketch challenge for this week and I’m excited to share a couple of new porducts from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
This card uses the Inked Botanicals DSP, the Inked & tiled stamp set AND the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I’ve mixed some colors together that I would not normally do – – and like it.
I pulled out this fun pattern of DSP from the Inked Botanicals, then started die cutting images using the Timeless Arrangements Dies in Lost Lagoon (love this new color!) Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and I pulled in a bit of Basic White as well. I stamped the sentiment from Inked & Tiled in Lost Lagoon on a Very Vanilla scrap and die cut it with the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I adhered the layers of springs and sprays together with liquid glue, attached the sentiment as well then set about doing the rest. The DSP is cut 3 x 4, the Crushed Curry at 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and added those two together with liquid glue. I put dimensional on the back of those two pieces and adhered them to the Lost Lagoon card base. The sentiment and sprays were added with dimensionals along the bottom of the sentiment and a bit of liquid glue for the upper section.
For the inside, I used a Very Vanilla panel 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped it with Crushed Curry ink and one of the flowers from Inked & Tiled stamp set, adhered it into the card and voila – card is complete.
For the envelope, more of the Inked Botanicals for the flap and the same flower for the envelope front, just this time in Crushed Curry & Calypso Coral inks. Such a fun, lively card. – and my daughter is going to love it. It goes out today!!!

Our hop for this week is “for the men/ boys’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I have a twin brother who likes to carve – and one of the ‘beasts’ he likes to carve is fish. He lives in Oregon and while I have not physically seen the fish he has carved, he is a detail-oriented man and has a real talent with color & design, and this just seemed like a fun idea to me, to create a card around fish. The Let’s Go Fishing DSP in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is really beautiful. The colors are soft – and well, just perfect. I must now order the stamps, dies, etc.!
I’ve used Boho Blue for my card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2, 6 3/4 and 8 7/8. I added layers of Copper Clay to various panels: (2) 4 1/8 x 4 1/8, 3 x 3 (this is on dimensionals) and 1 1/8 x 4 1/8. DSP layers are 4 x 4 and 1 x 4. The Very Vanilla inside layer is 4 x 4. On it is a die cut from Very Vanilla layered onto Pecan Pie. I SHOULD HAVE used Copper Clay ink for the stamping and for the layer for the sentiment!!! It was a goof :O) Ok, where was I ??? :O)
Using the side view, you can see where the facing panel of Copper Clay & DSP are adhered. . on that of course, is the square set on it like a diamond – attached with dimensionals. The Boho Blue panel was run through the Splatters & Stripes Embossing Folder – you know, fish & bubbler! The fish were fussy cut and also added with dimensionals. A few 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the diamond shape and one just off, hopefully making it look like bubbles from the fish. C’mon, use your imagination…
For the inside of the card, a panel of the Copper Clay then a Very Vanilla panel stamped and with a stamped sentiment die cut. The fun stamped corners are from He’s All That stamp set – a very masculine stamp set. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set, stamped on Very Vanilla and die cut with All That Dies.. I die cut another layer in Pecan Pie, cut it down the middle and added each to the underside of the stamped piece. That got put on dimensionals so the upper portion had something to lean against or ‘stand’ against.I added two 2023-2025 In Color Dots to make the sentiment more pronounced.
Let’s see, I think I forgot one step – the 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 Copper Clay piece with the 1 x 4 Let’s Go Fishing DSP… that all added with liquid glue. The pictures are showing the perfect placement.
I think that’s it. GADS… Did I totally mess with your mind with those directions??? You will see some fun creations today, so take a peak around the various links.

Oh, this paper is so pretty – love the colors. I’ve combined the DSP with Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue and Wild Wheat to create this card. It’s all about letting the Designer Series Paper do the work for you :O)
I began by choosing the papers from this pack that I wanted to use and after trimming down to the size I wanted, I added them to a layer of Boho Blue for the larger panel and Wild Wheat for the smaller one. I wrapped Linen Thread twice around the smaller set and tied a knot, then put the two layered panels together with dimensionals and onto the card base (Misty Moonlight) also with dimensionals. I like the layered look :} I cut a strip of Misty Moonlight about 3/4 x 2 1/2 and trimmed the ends with the Happy Labels Punch. Dimensionals were added to the top & bottom of the strip to overlay the Linen Thread. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on a Very Vanilla strip, trimmed the ends and added it to the Misty Moonlight – again with dimensionals. Oh – the sentiment… comes from the new & exciting Inked & Tiled stamp set! I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Boho Blue for a bit of an accent and the front was complete.
For the inside, I fussy cut one of the fish, added Stampin’ Seal to its back and attached it to a Very Vanilla panel. I have someone specific in mind for this card so want to leave room to write a message. :0} Great masculine card, don’t you think so?
For the envelope, more of the DSP on the flap and a small fussy-cut fish adhered to the front. And Voila! Love the simplicity and the freshness of this masculine card.

Here’s the deal… I lost Internet yesterday – completely for an entire day. Hubby got a new Modem and it still didn’t work for about 2 1/2 hrs. GRRR. I pulled myself out of the blog hop cuz – no Internet until late on Wed. night and didn’t know when it would work, when it magically and finally DID.. I have removed the links below but wanted you to see the challenge – and of course, my card..
I started with a card base of Copper Clay and added a layer of Wild Wheat. Adhered to that is a Designer Series Paper layer of Fresh as a Daisy with the Moody Mauve side up. The top two layers are Wild Wheat & the Moody Mauve background of the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Together, those were added with dimensionals. Next – die cutting the daisy using the Cheerful Daisy Dies in Basic White, two layers, and attaching them together with dabs of glue. I used the Light Wild Wheat Blends to add color to the center, then attached the daisy to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Moody Mauve ink on a strip of Bubble Bath and slipped under the mounted daisy with a bit of glue on the backside. I added two die cuts of the branchy/twiggy thing, one in Wild Wheat and the other in Basic White. Because they are so thin, I added those with a coupler of glue dots. For a final touch, I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
For the inside, a layer of Wild Wheat was added to the card base. I then stamped the Basic White panel with this pretty daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink. I didn’t think I would like this color combination, but I really do :O) The Bubble Bath is really a sweet shade of pink.
For the envelope, more of the Moody Mauve from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP for the flap. For the envelope front, a single sweet daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink.

Good morning! It is May 2 and you know what that is… the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is LIVE! WooHoo! Today’s card uses products from that new catalog: the Countryside Inn bundle and the Countryside Inn DSP. This DSP is so sweet in shades of blue and some fun little animals.
I used the Countryside in Dies to cut two panels, one in Night of Navy and the smaller in the Countryside Inn DSP. Before adhering them together, I added a strip of Basic White behind the smaller die cut. I pulled out my Petal Park stamp set and the Petal Park Builder Punch. I inked the three stamps of flowers in Misty Moonlight and stamped that a couple of times on Basic White, then punched them out. I punched another couple of sets in Pool Part and also in Night of Navy and began putting them together. Once the flowers were attached to this fun shape, I set about determining a background. I toyed with several ideas and decided on using the Hobnail Glass Dots embossing folder from the Online Exclusives and running it through on Basic White. I lined that with Night of Navy and added both to a Thick Basic White card base. I popped the die cut main ‘attraction’ on dimensionals and the card front was nearly complete. For a bit of sparkle I added the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue and Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.
For the inside I added a layer of Night of Navy panel, then stamped on a Basic White panel in Boho Blue. These stamps come from the Countryside Inn stamp set. Isn’t the circles one fun? This was adhered to thee inside and I moved on to the envelope
More stamped circles on the envelope front, with Boho Blue ink, then this very same DSP for the envelope flap ~ adhered and trimmed to fit. Done!

WooHoo! May 2 and the new catalog is LIVE. There are some real gems in this catalog and one of them is the Countryside Inn Suite found on pages 62-63. For today’s card I used the Countryside Blossoms Embossing folder, the Countryside Corners Dies and the coordinating Countryside Corners stamp set. I also used another new product ~ the Timeless Arrangements Bundle found on page 67. I found this combination worked really well for this particular card.
Night of Navy and Basic White are just stunning together ~ they add a note of elegance to a card and this one is no exception. I began with a Thick Basic White card base. I then ran a piece of Basic White through this amazingly beautiful Countryside Inn Embossing Folder. It created such wonderful texture and an excellent background for a card. Having run this through the machine, I re-grouped and came up with a new plan… this was too pretty to cover up the way I had planned. I pulled out the new Timeless Arrangements bundle and die cut a couple of items from Basic White. I went back to the Countryside Corners stamp set and inked up this large single stamp in Night of Navy ink, then die cut the very center portion from it with the appropriate die. I stamped the sentiment on this rectangular piece in Night of Navy ink using the Timeless Arrangements stamp set. I adhered the die cut pieces from the Timeless Arrangements dies to the back of this rectangle, then added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the embossed panel. This embossed panel was adhered to a Night of Navy just slightly larger, then with dimensionals I added it to the card base.
For the inside… I wanted to carry out the Night of Navy theme and added a panel to the inside of the card. Since the Timeless Arrangements stamp set was already on my desk, I inked the single flower in Night of Navy ink and stamped it on a Basic White panel and on the envelope front. This was attached to the inside of the card and nearly complete.
I added a strip of the Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap, trimmed it to fit and one & done!
Love this… but know this could be done in a variety of colors: for contrast… instead of Night of Navy, the new Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel or Pretty Peacock; Moody Mauve might be a nice contrast or the Copper Clay.

Welcome to our awesome Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! There are some fun projects to be shared to day with this sketch challenge.
I’ve chosen to use the Cheerful Daisy Stamp set and it’s coordinating Cheerful Daisy Dies. They are so great – love the layering possibilities and the texture as well. Above you see the NEW Copper Clay card base. What a beauty this paper is… The DSP is from Fresh As A Daisy and is one of the panels on the first page of the Designer Series Paper.. I attached that front piece to a Basic White panel cut to the same size (3 1/8 x 4 14). I then took a small rectangle DSP on that front panel and cut it down so it shares the stage by sticking out at each side. I adhered that to the card front, then added the two panels with dimensionals. I die cut the daisy outline in Boho Blue (NEW), then the two coordinating layers in Basic White and adhered them all together with liquid glue. I popped it up on dimensionals & added it to the card front. I cut a length of this gorgeous Texture Ribbon in Copper Clay, folded it over and added it in place with Stampin Seal+. The final touch for the front was the 2023-2025 In Colt Dots – in Boho Blue of course.
I cut a piece of Boho Blue 3 3/8 x 4 3/4 and adhered it in place on the inside of the card. I added the Basic White piece on top (3 1/4x 4 5/8).
Again the daisy has three parts: the outline is Copper Clay, the two top portions are Basic White – all adhered together and added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… a bit of DSP on the bottom front of the envelope, to carry over a bit of the front of the card. For the flap, a different piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit. What a fun project ~ and I loved every minute of putting it together.

Good morning! I have a bright, cheerful card for you today. It uses retiring Rain or Shine DSP and the carrying over Playing in the Rain stamps & Dies.. You might remember that I’m making daisy cards for a couple of folks as I’m attending a convention the first weekend in May. As I was pulling retiring items I saw this adorable paper and quickly made this card.
All the DSP used for this card are from the Rain or Shine collection. I only have a bit left, which is good since it’s retiring. :o) I cut the DSP panel with the second largest of the retiring Stitched Rectangles Dies, then adhered it to a slightly larger panel of Old Olive. I took another piece of the DSP (see the raindrops strip behind), it’s 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 and adhered it to the Balmy Blue card base. The Old Olive piece is adhered, centering, with dimensionals. I die cut the turtle from one of the Designer Series Papers in this pack and adhered it with dimensionals as though he were walking through the field of flowers. I added a white bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack using the white twine and pulling two threads from a length to make the bow. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a strip about 5/8 x 3″ from another piece of the DSP and added it to the back of the circle with Stampin’ Seal+, then attached the circle with dimensionals to the card front. I trimmed the ends of the strip after adhering it. I added three Glossy Dots to the circle for some added sparkle.
For the inside, I added a strip of Old Olive to the Basic White panel, then used another Stylish Shapes Die to cut this fun flower image and adhered it over the Old Olive strip. The panel was adhered to the inside of the card and done!
For the envelope… the backside of this particular piece of DSP is this fun check – and I adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the adorable daisies in Memento ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Blends. This creates a fun, cheerful card for any occasion.
Couple of things…

WooHoo – welcome to Tuesday! The other day I tore into my package of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the very first sheet is full of card front panels, which I immediately cut apart. I shared my first card using the coordinating Cheerful Dies and Cheerful Daisy stamp set – you may find thathere. Today’s cards – yep, two of them, use more of that DSP but very little of the dies. Here is card 1…
The panel is layered onto an Early Espresso panel, then wrapped in this gorgeous Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon and added to the Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies stamp set with Early Espresso ink on Basic White and die cut it with the banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was adhered over the ribbon. I looped a length of the same ribbon around the band and tied a single knot., then added a glue dot under the knot to secure in place. Final touches: Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots on the sentiment and Wink of Stella on each of the brown flower centers.
For the inside, I stamped the daisy in Wild Wheat and the center in Early Espresso, using Wink of Stella on the brown center of the flower :O) This was a Basic White panel and was adhered directly to the inside of the card. I stamped the same images on the envelope front, same inks and everything. I’m hoping you can see the Wink of Stella shine in this single photo.
For the second card… totally different colors but from that same Fresh As A Daisy sheet as the card above.
How different is this card from the previous, right?! The main color that pops is the new Bubble Bath. I adhered this DSP front to a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry. I ran a Garden Green piece through the Basic 3D embossing folder called Cross Hatch (purchased from the Online Store!) I added this directly to the Thick Basic White card base, then added the DSP panel with dimensionals on top of it. I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White with the new Bubble Bath ink and added it to the card front with dimensionals. The banner got two Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight, then I added three more to the DSP panel. The final touch was this bow made with the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon, added with a glue dot.
Again, a super simple inside: this daisy stamp from Cheerful daisies, stamped in Crushed Curry ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to the inside of the card. The envelope got the same treatment, one on the envelope front and one on the flap. Done, done.
I am making a group of about five cards (maybe more) to give to a friend – all daisy inspired. I’m attending a convention first weekend in May and that’s when I’ll give them to her :O)

I have a pretty card for you today, using a retiring stamps and dies. It’s called Wisteria Wishes, but they are made into Lupine instead :O) And I confess (confession is good for the soul), the design is from a demonstrator in Australia, Gail Ellis. We made this in card class Thursday.
I’ve used Basic White Thick card stock for the card base, fence posts, flowers & stems. Soft Sea Foam card stock was used for the die cut leaves. Inks were Orchid Oasis and Soft Sea Foam.
Begin with a card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Remove 4 -5/8 x 5 1/2″ strips from the card front and set aside. Die cut 6 ‘posts’ using the long banner die from the Harvest Dies. These dies and coordinating stamp set, Quiet Meadow, are carrying over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
Close the card with the short front side facing up. Place a long length of washi tape or something similar, and with the sticky side up, attach in the center of the short front side. The tape should form a sort of ‘T’ when looking at the card front. Lay a 5/8 x 5 1/2″ strip so it aligns with the card back and sticks to the tape. Place two other lengths in between the spacing of the short front and bottom edge of the front. It is helpful to have this card on a grid paper to keep everything straight. Adhere the two outside posts to the ‘fencing’. Once this is done the card will be much more stable. :O) When adhering the posts, I did not use the full length of the post. It should be about 5/8″ up on the card front and about 3/8″ from the edge. Remove the sticky tape and adhere the center post. Turn the card over and adhere three posts on the inside. Cut off the overhanging edges of the ‘posts’. That was the hard part! The rest is pretty easy.
Stamp the set of three wisteria flowers in stamped off Orchid Oasis ink. Stamp the detail stamp in full strength Orchid Oasis ink.. Do this twice so there are two sets of blooms, then die cut with the Wisteria Dies.
Stamp the stems in Soft Sea Foam ink, also twice, and die cut with the appropriate die from Wisteria Dies. Adhere the first set of stems to the far right edge of the card and attach with with liquid glue. Attach one set of blooms with dimensionals overlapping the stems. Use the photo for reference. Adhere the other set of stems with liquid glue. Note placement by referring to the photo. Adhere second set of blooms, also with dimensionals, overlapping as necessary.
Die cut the sentiment banner from Basic White Thick card stock. Stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink. (The sentiment I chose required me to tape off a portion of the sentiment, ink, remove tape and stamp on the banner.) Adhere banner in place with dimensionals.
Leaves: I die cut three bunches of the leaves from Soft Sea Foam card stock, then used a sponge dauber and Soft Sea Foam ink to darken areas of the leaves. I trimmed down the second bunch of leaves: one branch to fit under the sponged leaves and another to fit on top. Again, refer to photo for placement. I added retiring 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Orchid Oasis and the front was complete.
For the inside… on a 4 x 5 1/4 in panel of Basic White, I adhered the third branch of leaves to the far upper right. I wanted to make sure, it would be covered by the largest part of the card front. I stamped the rest of the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink. Just as before, I taped off what I didn’t want, inked the stamp, removed the tape and stamped on the panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card & voila! Love, love, love!
