BEGONIA SUNSHINE

Today’s card features one of the Products of the Month, Begonia Belle.  This stamp set was the July 2026 Product of the Month, however, it is still available while supplies last for just $5 with a qualifying $75 purchase.  I have had a lot of fun with this cute two step stamping set.  So today I wanted to make a card I could send just because, here is what I came up with…

The card base is Flirty Flamingo cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I added a layer of the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper that measures 3 ¾ x 5” (I picked the blue stripped paper).  I grabbed some Basic White cardstock scraps and began my stamping.  I stamped two of the detailed begonia stamps using first generation Flirty Flamingo Ink.  Next, I stamped the second begonia stamp (the one that adds overall color) again using Flirty Flamingo Ink but this time I stamped it off once before adding it to the flowers.  I stamped three of the begonia leaf’s by stamping the detailed stamp onto scraps of Basic White cardstock using first generation Garden Green Ink.  Then I stamped the overall stamp again with Garden Green Ink and again for this stamp I stamped off fist. 

I fussy cut out my flowers and leaves.  I added the two flowers using Dimensionals and then just tucked the three leaves under them a little adhering them directly to the card.  I stamped the sentiment “YOU ARE MY Sunshine” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Flirty Flamingo Ink and die cut it using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies (reminder:  you can stamp and simply cut the sentiment into a rectangle or fussy cut around it, you do not have to have a die to make a sentiment).  I added it with Dimensionals.  I also added three of the Sparkle Dot Essentials (they are retired now but there are lots of great embellishments out there, plus don’t forget to check your stash). 

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the little flower buds in the corner using Flirty Flamingo Ink and then added the stem and leaf using Garden Green Ink.  I stamped the same thing on the envelope. 

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:

FLUTTERING IN TO SAY GET WELL

Today’s card features the Butterfly Flight and Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies along with the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper.  I have been having a blast using the new hot foil system and the great dies that are available for it.  Afterall, everyone loves a little shine and blight right?

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match Designer Series Paper (I loved this rose pattern) to 4 x 5 ¼” and mounted that onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 1/8 x 5 3/8”.  Once those two pieces were attached to one another, I added them to the front of the card with Dimensionals. 

For my butterflies I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and a piece of the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll to 3 ½ x 4 ½” and I used the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies to foil the butterflies onto the white cardstock (Stampin’ Up! has a great video on how the Hot Foil System works on YouTube).  With the butterflies foiled I grabbed the Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks and went to work coloring my butterflies (I love using these masks it makes coloring so easy).  Using Blending Brushes I started with mask 1 and added Barely Blush Ink, then onto mask 2 I added Bubble Bath Ink, for mask 3 I added Strawberry Slush Ink.  I love how the butterflies came out.  Next, I simply used the coordinating die that comes with the Butterfly Flight bundle and cut out my butterflies.  I took a scrap of Basic White cardstock and a scrap of Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil and foiled the sentiment “get well” from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies.  I used Dimensionals to pop up the greeting as well as three of my five butterflies.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added the smallest of my butterflies down on the bottom right.  For my envelope I added the last of the butterflies to the flap.

MOONLIT FLORA BIRTHDAY CARD

Today’s card features the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper  and the Fern & Flora Bundle.  I wanted to make a card that focused more on the beautiful DSP so I wanted the front to be a little minimalistic.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Golden Glow cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Moonlit Flora DSP to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the label outline and sentiment “You make the world a better place” from the Fern & Flora stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Golden Glow Ink.  I then die cut it using the coordinating label die from the bundle.  I added it to the right bottom front of my card using Dimensionals.  I die cut one of the ferns out of Old Olive cardstock and one of the foliage pieces from the bundle out of a scrap of Golden Glow cardstock and tucked them in behind the sentiment.  I die cut three of the flowers from a scrap of Basic White cardstock using the flower dies from the set and three centers from a scrap of Golden Glow cardstock.  Once the flowers were all put together, I added them in a little tight grouping to the bottom left of the card using Mini Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday To You” from the Framed Violets stamp set onto the top center using Golden Glow Ink.  I stamped the little flower bunch from the bundle in the bottom right using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this but I still prefer it for use with alcohol markers) and colored it using Golden Glow and Peaceful Pines  Stampin’ Markers. 

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:

FLOWERING HUGS & KISSES

Today’s card features the lovely Flower Fair Stamp Set.  This set is an online exclusive that has been moved to the last chance shopping because it is getting ready to retire.  The stamp is a single stamp that creates beautiful backgrounds.  While I worked with Daffodil Delight today this set can be colored in lots of beautiful Stampin’ Up! colors, just think about the beautiful card sets you could make with just this one stamp.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Daffodil Delight cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of Basic Black that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” and stamped it with the Flower Fair Stamp using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Stampin’ Up! no longer sells this ink but I continue to use it because I believe it is the best ink to use with alcohol markers).  I then used the 5^th largest of the Everyday Arches Dies to cut out the center which I colored using Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Markers.  I cut out the 4^th largest arch from the die set out of Basic Black cardstock and mounted my colored arch onto it. 

I wrapped the arch with some retired black and white checked ribbon (I couldn’t resist as the color was perfect) and tied a square knot.  I added the arches to the front of the card using Dimensionals.  I stamped my sentiment “hugs & kisses” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  NOTE:  This sentiment is from the Soiree Salutations Stamp Set which is being introduced in the September – December Catalog and it will be available to customers when it goes live in September.  Being allowed to purchase these sets a month before they are released to the general public is one of the nice perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  I used the Three Banner Punch (this punch is part of a bundle Banner Sayings but the punch also coordinates nicely with this stamp set as well) and punched out the sentiment and another flag from a scrap of Basic Black cardstock.  I cut the white flag down on three sides and mounted it onto the black cardstock and attached it to my card.  To finish the front off I added one of the 2026 – 2028 In Color Butterflies (I chose the Golden Glow one).
