DELICATE DREAMS THANK YOU

Today’s card features the Delicate Dreams 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Scalloped Wishes Bundle.  Continuing with my quest to use products that were not originally part of a suite but from different offerings I  decided to use this paper and this bundle to create with today.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Hydrangea Hue cardstock that measures 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” and a layer of the Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”.  Using scraps, I die cut the frame from the Scalloped Wishes Dies twice, once out of Basic White and once out of Secret Sea.  I used just the inside of the white one to stamp my sentiment.  I stamped “With Sincere Thanks” on the right center of the piece using Secret Sea Ink. 

Then I die cut the flowers from the bundle out of scraps of Hydrangea Hue and Secret Sea cardstock, the stems and leave were cut out of scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  To create the center of the flowers I used the 1/8” Circle Punch and punched them out of Basic White cardstock.  I adhered the flowers together and then added them and the stems to the left side of the frame.  Finally, I added three of the Hydrangea Hue butterflies from the 2026 – 2028 In Color Butterflies.

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4" and added a small piece 3/4 x 4" of the Delicate Whispers Specialty DSP along the bottom.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

RELAXING RIDE

Today’s card features the new Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to make a simple get well card that would work for either a man or a woman.  I also wanted to show that you can mix products from other suites, like the arch dies and a sentiment from a stamp set or use up some retired items you have like these embellishments.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Gray Granite cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Cajun Craze cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼ and a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”.  I stamped my sentiment “Get well soon” from the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Cajun Craze Ink and then die cut it using the smallest of the Everyday Arches Dies.  I cut a second arch (the second smallest) out of a scrap of Gray Granite cardstock and adhered my sentiment to that.  Then I popped that up on the card using Dimensionals.  I used three embellishments that are from my stash and now retired (remember use what you have).  Like I said, simple, easy and fast to create.

RELAX AND ENJOY

Today’s card features the new Relaxing Waterside Bundle and Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.  I was a little unsure if I wanted this bundle but a customer ordered it and then when it came in I was intrigued so I ordered it for myself and I am sure glad I did.  I have been having a ton of fun playing around with it.  One sheet of the DSP has cut aparts and I thought I would start there, here is what I came up with…

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I trimmed the cut apart down to 4 x 5 ¼” and added it to the card base.  Then I put my chair together (it took me a bit to figure it out but I love how it turned out; I will put a photo below with labels for the pieces to make it easier to understand how it goes together).  I cut die #2 out of Night of Navy and then using Hydrangea Hue cardstock I cut a second one (this is so you can get that little board for the front, it makes sense to cut both colors and then just change out the colors so you end up with two chairs).  I cut the back of the chair die #4 and the arms of the chair die #5 out of Hydrangea Hue cardstock.  The little tab at the bottom of the back just slides down in the chair and the single board that is a different color just pops out from between the legs.  The arms just get placed on top of the chair arms and butted up against the back of the chair.

I also die cut the cattails, I cut both die #10 and #11 out of scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock and again out of Pecan Pie scraps.  I cut the top of the Pecan Pie cattails off and glued them onto the Mossy Meadow ones.  With that all done I simply added my chair and cattails to the card front.  I love that the beautiful paper works so well for this card.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment “Relax” and the seagull from the set onto the front using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  For the inside I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the larger cattail in Crumb Cake Ink and the smaller one right over top of it in Old Olive Ink.  This was a really quick and simple card to create.  I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

SEASIDE BRIGHT

Today’s card features the breathtakingly beautiful Scenic Coast 6 x 6” Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I so wish I could capture the beauty of this paper in a photo but try as I may I just can’t do it justice.  I pair this paper with the Sunset Coast Bundle and did a little CASE of a card I saw on Pinterest from Karen Ksenzakovic.  I loved her choice of paper so I used the same and just added my own touches.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Melon Mambo cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”.  I cut a piece of the Scenic Coast DSP to 4 ¼ x 5 ½” and then cut that into 11 strips that were ½ x 4 ¼” (Note: be sure to keep them in order so the scene is right).  I started on the left side of my card and added the first strip with Dimensionals, then the next was adhered directly to the card base.  I did this back and forth across the front of the card until I ended with strip number 11 being popped up with Dimensionals.

Next, I stamped my sentiment “You Brighten my day” from the Sunset Coast Bundle onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Azure Afternoon Ink.  I used my Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a stitched circle and added that to the bottom left of my card.  To finish off the front of the card I die cut three of the seagulls from the dies in the bundle out of Basic Black cardstock and added them to the card.  For the inside of the card, I simply cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a strip of the DSP that measured ½ x 5 ¼”. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

INTRODUCING CRISP CANTALOUPE

Today’s card features one of the new In Colors for 2026 – 2028, Crisp Cantaloupe.  Does it look familiar?  If you have been around Stampin’ Up! for years like me then you will recognize it as a color that we use to have and that has been re-introduced.  Yes, sometimes colors come back and it is often a great surprise.  I actually still had my Crisp Cantaloupe ink pad, re-inker and even a few sheets of the paper.  I decided to showcase it along with a Specialty Designer Series Paper that is also in the In Colors called Bloom Boutique and make a simple card.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of the Bloom Boutique 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  To the center of that I added two pieces of foliage, one die cut from Gold Foil (to accentuate the gold in the DSP) and one die cut from another new In Color called Peaceful Pine.  This die is from the Nature’s Symphony Dies (I have been using these dies a lot lately because they are pretty versatile).

I cut the layer for my sentiment out of Basic White cardstock using the second smallest of this shape from the Nested Essentials Dies.  I stamped it with my sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set which is from a retired set (I used Crisp Cantaloupe Ink but Peaceful Pine would look nice as well).  Remember I always say use the sentiment that you like and works for the card you want to send.  We all have sets we love and for many of us we have some that we like to use all the time.  The same can be said for the die I used, it could be a circle, a square, anything you have that works with the sentiment you chose.  Don’t be afraid to make changes and make it yours.  I added that sentiment using Dimensionals. 

To finish off the card I added three of the 2025 – 2025 Flat Pearls to the front.  I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little strip of the same DSP I used on the front, ½ x 4” to the bottom of it to tie everything together.
