Stampin’ Up! New Month, New SU! Offerings

Good Tuesday morning! It’s raining here this morning and has all night. Temperatures went up, now they are dropping ~ strange weather pattern. But… ‘nuf of that… let’s talk new offerings from Stampin’ Up! It’s the Fitting Florets Suite of products available now! WooHoo. Demonstrators, me included, have been playing with this for a bit and are really using it a lot. For today’s example, I’ve paired the Framed Florets stamp set with a different DSP only because the DSP was cut & sitting in front of me. šŸ˜ Here’s the card & the inside so you can see some of the beauty of the flowers. I’ll also share a few of the cards I’ve already shared with this beautious suite.

For the card front I’ve fussy cut this sentiment from Framed Florets stamp set and adhered it over the Sahara Sand ribbon from the Twill Combo Pack. For the inside of the card I’ve stamped this gorgeous floral spray in Early Espresso and colored it with Stampin’ Blends (So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade) to coordinate with the card front. This spray stamp is just so sweet and delicate. And it coordinates so well with the red roses in this DSP. Here are a couple of other cards I’ve created from this suite of products.

In this card you can see a different stamp set used from the suite, Framed & Festive stamp set – and a couple of the stunning leaf dies. The oval dies in this are wonderful! The Gold Adhesive Swirls are used on each of the cards below for extra embellishment.

In the photo with the blue DSP – that’s from this suite of products, as are the stamps on the front of the card, Framed Florets stamp set.

Here’s another example of the DSP in this suite of products, along with more of the floral spray and dies.

Stampin’ Up! Dies Do The Work!

Good afternoon ~ it’s Sunday and I have pretty card for you today, created by combining a few different dies & mostly Thick Basic White card stock. I was inspired by several white cards I saw on Pinterest.

Stampin' Up! Frosted Flurry Dies, Painted Labels Dies & Grove Dies

I began this card by doing the die cutting from Thick Basic White card stock. It’s a bit stronger than the regular Basic White: the wreath is from Painted Labels Dies; the snowflakes are from Frosted Flurry Dies; and the deer is from the Grove Dies and it is cut from Crumb Cake card stock. I stamped the sentiment using Crumb Cake ink and the new Framed & Festive stamp set. The next step was to run a panel of Basic White through the Timber 3D embossing Folder to create a nice textured background. The stars were adhered to the wreath with a rolled in half glue dot, overlapping ever so slightly. I adhered the wreath directly to the dry embossed panel, then added the deer with mini dimensionals. I added the doubled ribbon bow made from Linen Thread with a glue dot. (This made three points of interest in Crumb Cake!)This completed panel was adhered to the Thick Basic White tent-fold A2 card base. I thought some sparkly would be nice so added the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins (in white) on the snowflake centers.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive sentiment

For the inside… I used the embossing buddy to clean the area of static & stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder. The sentiment comes from the new Framed & Festive stamp set (available to customers Nov 1) I had an extra snowflake left over and added it to the sentiment, then another Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequin, in Gold this time. I adhered this to the inside of the card and the card was done!

Stampin' Up! Frosted Flurry Dies, Painted Labels Dies, Grove Dies.2

I really like this mostly white look and decided to only run a panel of Basic White through the Timber 3D embossing folder, adhere it to the flap and trim to fit. Done, done! And I love it! Is there anything I would change – yes… I would move the deer more to the left so the ears were closer to the snowflakes on the left, creating a little more space. The other thing I would do is stamp the Noel with VersaMark ink and sprinkle with Gold embossing powder & heat set. I might also cut down the embossed panel a bit, layer it on another Basic White, put dimensionals on the back & adhere to the card base. So, you know what this means…I’ll have to make another with these changes šŸ„“šŸ˜€šŸ‘.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Snowflakes and In Color 6×6 DSP

Good Friday morning! Wow – the week has flown… and I have a friendly, wintry card for you today. Wintry – because I’m using Wonderful Snowflakes and In Color 6×6 DSP in Starry Sky. I’ve cut a square just slightly larger than the snowflake and adhered that to a Basic White square a bit larger than that and set it aside while preparing the card base.

Stampin' Up! Wonderful Snowflakes & In Color 6x6 DSP

The card base is Thick Basic White. I took another panel of regular Basic White and splattered it with my Starry Sky Marker by flicking the brush tip end on the lid, flicking it away from me & onto the panel. When it was covered enough, I added a strip of In Color 6×6 DSP in Starry Sky, and adhered that to a Starry Sky panel slightly larger. I put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card base. I added the square with the Wonderful Snowflake to that with dimensionals as well. Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins in white were added, then 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Starry Sky. I wrapped the 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine in Starry Sky, around my three fingers three times and tied a knot then adhered it with a glue dot – and the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Wonderful Snowflakes & In Color 6x6 DSP.2

Because I wanted this to just be available for a note (of thanks, of appreciation, whatever) I kept it really simple: A Basic White panel adhered to a Starry Sky panel and into the inside of the card. This could easily serve as a masculine card – and I like having those ready at hand. I can easily add a sentiment & make it a birthday card too :O)

Stampin' Up! Wonderful Snowflakes & In Color 6x6 DSP.3

The last but not least – is the envelope… more of the In Color 6×6 DSP in Starry Sky adhered to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. Done. Oh I do like how this came together :O) Card cuts for this project will be listed at the end of this post.

Stampin' Up! Inkin' Hop Sketch Challenge

This is such a fun sketch that my mind was whirling with ideas. I finally settled with this card.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest C'mas DSP.1

I’ve used the Sweetest Christmas DSP as the focus for this challenge – both as background and center image. These candy canes are so cute! I’ve also used Layering Circles Dies, Harvest Dies for the sentiment banner, 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine in Sweet Sorbet, and for additional embellishment the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins in Sweet Sorbet. It should be no surprise then, that all the layer backgrounds are Sweet Sorbet :O)

Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Canes for the inside.2

For the inside… Sweet Candy Canes stamp set and Sweet Sorbet ink for the candy cane & Garden Green ink for the sentiment – also from Sweet Candy Canes stamp set ~ stamped on Basic White card stock and layered on Sweet Sorbet, then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweetest C'mas DSP for Thur hop.3

For the envelope, more of the same Sweetest Christmas DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit – and that was it! So easy, so festive, so perfect for this challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic and Snowflakes

Good Tuesday morning! I was driving around town yesterday doing errands and oh my goodness – the tree colors are spectacular! The yellows, golds, oranges and rust, reds – they are in their prime showing off. It was simply jaw-dropping stunning. Of course – that has nothing to do with my card today, I just simply HAD to share the glory that is out there… Today’s card… Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (using the snowflake), Taylor Made Tags and the wonderful Texture Chic DSP share the spotlight on this card.

Stampin' Up! Texture Chic DSP & Snowflakes.1

I used the Chic Dies that coordinate with the Season of Chic stamp set to create the die cut snowflakes: Basic White, Soft Succulent and some Kraft card stock. I used the Tailor Made Tags Dies for, what else, the various tags :O) Two of them are die cut from Texture Chic Specialty DSP and the top one is is Basic White stamped with Pool Party ink. Everything is layered: some with liquid adhesive, others with dimensionals. The bow is from the fabulous Threaded Twine. I simply cut a length and pulled several of the threads apart and made a bow. It has a very natural look that I like a lot. Once I did all the die cuts, I put the card together: Crumb Cake card stock for the card base. This was layered with a panel of Basic White run through the Wintry 3D embossing folder twice (to fill the page so to speak). OH… I DID use a Blending Brush to add a bit of Crumb Cake ink to various snowflakes – to give it a bit of a vintage look.Then the rest was added as you see. I die cut the larger snowflake twice: once in Basic White, again in Soft Succulent and adhered them together, holding all the inner pieces together as best I could. For glam I added the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels in the center of many of the snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.inside.2

On a Basic White panel I stamped the snowflake (love this stamp!!!) in Pool Party ink then the ‘splatter’ stamp also from the Season of Chic stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink. So here’s my confession… I wish I had done it the other way: snowflake in Evening Evergreen and splatter in Pool Party. As it is the splatter is too strong, it shows more than the snowflake 😦 Once the panel was added to the inside of the card – it was done.

Stampin' Up! Texture Chic & Snowflakes.3

For the envelope, more of the Texture Chic DSP on the envelope flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. I stamped the snowflake in Evening Evergreen ink and love it! Of course, it is from Season of Chic stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes

I’ve taken some unexpected DSP and combined it with Wonderful Snowflakes & Wintry 3D Embossing Folder to make a really pretty Christmas Card. I have also heat embossed the Wonderful Snowflake with silver embossing powder. I’ve also added a fun ‘knot bow’ with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes.1

The card base is a piece of Blushing Bride card stock with a slightly smaller layer of Basic White. On top of that is a panel of the Awash In Beauty DSP embossed with the Wintry 3D embossing folder – the snowflake. Remember this embossing folder is a two-set and narrow. Narrow means they could fit in the mini cut & emboss machine. However, I was embossing a panel larger than what would fit in the mini, and ran it through twice. Once embossed I adhered this to the Basic White panel on the card front. Next I worked on the Wonderful Snowflake: rubbed gently with the embossing buddy, tapped the snowflake with the VersaMark ink pad, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat embossed. I did this twice so there was a smooth layer of silver on the snowflake. And when I used the Heat Tool, I heated from the underside of the snowflake. Next I cut a Basic White circle with the largest of the Layering Circle Dies. I took Blending Brush and Blushing Bride ink to add some color. I did the same with Merry Merlot ink. I added the Wonderful Snowflake with a dimensional. I cut a square of Silver Foil, then a slightly larger one of Basic White and adhered them all together, and then directly to the embossed front.

I stamped the sentiment using the Hope & Peace stamp set: first with VersaMark then sprinkling with silver embossing powder and heat setting with the Heat Tool – all on a strip of Awash In Beauty DSP. I adhered this to another strip of Basic White, put dimensionals on it and added it to the card base. The last step was to tie a knot with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and adhere it with a glue dot. And the card front – was done!

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes. inside.2

For the inside I took another panel of Basic White and ran just the left edge through with the Wintry 3D Snowflake embossing folder. I then stamped the sentiment in Blushing Bride ink – the sentiment came from Hope & Peace stamp set. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card – and I called it done…

Stampin' Up! C'mas w/ Awash in Beauty DSP & Wonderful Snowflakes

For the envelope I ran a piece of the Awash In Beauty DSP through the same Wintry 3D snowflake embossing folder and adhered it to the flap of the envelope. That was it. I love the sparkle of the silver foil and the heat embossing!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Dies Christmas in White

Good Saturday morning! It is a lovely fall morning here on the East Coast. I looked out the back windows and suddenly (as if overnight) saw all shades of yellow & reds. It’s really here – fall. I love the temperatures this time of year: crisp mornings, clear days, stunning color changes almost while we watch.

I’v e a clean white card for you today, using some new products (again) ~ the Framed Florets stamp set, the Framed Florets Dies and the Framed & Festive stamp set as well. I’ve pulled in Brushed Metallic 12 x 123 sheets and Gold embossing with these new products. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies & C'mas  in White

Isn’t this frame just gorgeous! For one thing, it’s oval, for another it has wonderful shapes. This particular oval die cuts two items: the oval in the center & the ‘frame’ of the outside. In other words, the center oval could be put on dimensionals. Here I adhered it directly to the Basic White panel after embossing in gold. Here were my steps:

  • do all the die cuts:
    • frame & its center oval in Basic White using the Framed Florets Dies
    • leaves die cut from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock ~ this comes in copper, brass & gold. I chose scraps of copper & gold. The leaves are from the Framed Florets Dies.
  • stamp the sentiment: on the center oval die cut, clean with the embossing buddy, stamp the image with VersaMark ink, then sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
  • Adhere large frame, centering, on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White
  • Adhere leaves following the oval of the frame
  • Adhere the center oval, slipping it behind the die cut leaves
  • Add Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls for additional accent
  • Adhere this completed panel with dimensionals to the Thick Basic White card base.
Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Dies.2

For the inside… Another of the ovals in Framed Florets dies was die cut in Basic White and adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set. The branched leaves were stamped with Memento ink and colored with Soft Succulent Blends. The leaves come from the Framed Florets stamp set and were die cut with Framed Florets Dies. They were adhered to the frame as was another die cut leaf from Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 card stock. Because the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls are pretty flat, I added those to the inside to add to the gold & white theme. This panel was adhered to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base and the card was complete.

For the envelope I simply stamped the sentiment from Framed & Festive stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. If you would like to see more cards I have made with these new products, look here, here, and here.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold for the Thursday Happy Inkin’ Blog Hop

Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Day! We have a color change this week and I have created a fun fold and used lots of DSP & layers :O) You may have joined me from the fabulous Tara and if so, thanks for hopping over.

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

And here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold. Thu Hop

I’ve used Boughs of Holly 12 x 12 DSP, the Mistletoe Magic stamp set, Stitched Rectangles Dies and a few other Stampin’ Up! products to make this stunning card. It’s bold, it catches your eye, but it is not gawdy by any means. Love this fun fold and I’ve made it before – just not very recently. Let’s see if I can break this down so you too, can make this fun fold.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock. The next layer is either Basic White or Mossy Meadow followed by the Boughs of Holly DSP. You can also see that I added a Wonderful Snowflake at one corner to just ‘show off’. I really like the accent it makes :O) The sentiment on the front is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink with the Mistletoe Magic stamp set. I happen to really like this font so you may see it often. It was die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles and is adhered with dimensionals to the small folded card in front. I’ve added a few Iridescent Pearls to the die cut for a bit of sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.2

In this photo you can see how the inside of the card opens – and the Wonderful Snowflake shows to its fullest glory. This also shows off the beautiful Boughs of Holly DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.3

In the far right photo you can see the full inside of the card. And here’s the thing – you would not have to have both panels in stamped Basic White. The one on the left could just as easily be another panel of DSP. Both panels are stamped with Memento ink. The bow is colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends, while the mistletoe is colored with Garden Green reinker and a Water Painter + Cherry Cobbler Blends for the berries. The sentiment is from Mistletoe Magic also and stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. This will be a card in which lots of news updates will be written. :O)

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly DSP Fun Fold Thu Hop.4

In this photo you can see the full front of the card with the focus on the small card & the ribbon. The ribbon is attached on the Basic White card front with the Mossy Meadow & DSP layers adhered over it. The ribbon is Natural Finish Ribbon and I love it. It can be stamped and it makes a wonderful bow.

Here the mini card is open to show off more DSP.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.6

And the photo on the right show the mini card fully opened. You could just as easily have the stamped panel on the right & DSP on the left. I might prefer that another time; this is just how it came together this time. The stamped panel is stamped in Memento ink using the Mistletoe Magic stamp set & colored with Real Red Blends and Garden Green reinker & a Water Painter. Add reinker to the lid of the Garden green ink pad, add a single drop of water from the Water painter, swish around to ink the brush and paint the leaves without adding any water at all.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.7

This photo shows exactly the ribbon and how it ‘fits’ holding the card. It is only attached under the mini card front, while the rest is loose to wrap around the card to secure it closed and make a half bow.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Fun Fold Thu Hop.8

Here you see the finished card and the envelope: more of the Boughs of Holly DSP on the flap and on the front the beautiful mistletoe from Mistletoe Magic stamp set. And yep – stamped in Memento ink, colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends and Garden Green Reinker with a Water Painter. All card cuts will be listed below. I look forward to you sharing your creations with me.

Stampin’ Up! Decorated With Happiness Bundle

It’s mid-week… how’s it going? Our week is going well at this end… getting cooler for sure. I need to bring in a couple of plants!!! My card for today uses the Decorated w/ Happiness bundle which I have not used much. I love this bundle – the pine fronds both stamped & die cut; the ornaments; the stars; the sentiments. It fits as lot of my needs :O)

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness Bundle

I started by stamping the pine branch in Evening Evergreen ink – and yes, from Decorated with Happiness stamp set and on a Basic White panel. The filler stamp from this set is done in Soft Succulent ink. Next I die cut some of the ornaments using the Decorated Pine Dies from Gold Foil Sheets and chose this ball ornament – also die cut the ‘string’ with the bow from the same Gold Foil Sheets. I adhered the ‘string’ with dots of liquid glue, then stamped the filler image for the ornament in Cherry Cobbler second generation. I needed to ink & stamp twice cuz it wasn’t quite in the right spot 😳 Next I adhered the Gold Foil ornament over the inking. I stamped the greeting using the same Decorated with Happiness stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. I added the die cut stars as an afterthought and really liked them. They also come from the Decorated Pine Dies & Gold Foil Sheets. I also stamped the the dots/ asterisk stamp in Soft Succulent ink – just cuz. This Basic White panel was adhered to Cherry Cobbler card stock just a bit larger; dimensionals went on the back and this was adhered to the A2 Soft Succulent card base.

Hint… about die cutting with foil: I designate a separate plate for die-cutting foil papers. They are used less and fewer marks on them. I also choose to use foil that is very close to size to the die. This way, marks are not transferred to the die. I mark my cutting plate so it reminds me! See photo.

For the inside of my card… Basic White card stock and this fun ornament stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at various levels, then the ‘filler’ stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped-off first. This was added with liquid glue to the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Decorated w/ Happiness.3

For the envelope… I used the same pine fronds stamp from Decorated With Happiness stamp set and stamped in Evening Evergreen ink – both on the envelope front and the flap. The filler stamp from the same Decorated With Happiness stamp set was inked with Soft Succulent ink and stamped on the pine fronds. I used the dot/ asterisk stamp from the same stamp set and Soft Succulent ink to add more to the envelope front & flap.
