New At SU May Blog Hop 2024-2026 In Colors Simply Said

It's time to hop along with the New At SU May Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing the beautiful new 2024-2026 In Colors released this month. Our amazing Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity with these incredible new colors.

For my card design, I wanted to share a clean and simple card design using the new Simply Said stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I love that this stamp set has sentiments for a variety of occasions is great whether you are just starting out or a seasoned stamper. I chose to use all five of the new In Colors - Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash to create this bright and cheerful card.

I love making clean and simple card designs, especially when I can add a Wow factor to make it extra special. For this card design, I chose the new In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper in each of the five colors to add some sparkle to the design. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the circles and adhered them to the Basic Black card front, trimming the edges flush with the card front. I used the excess pieces to fill in around the edges to complete the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Simply Said stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Basic Black cardstock strip and trimmed it to approx. 3 1/8". I added two of the Peach Pie Shimmer Gems to decorate the sentiment label. I added the sentiment to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I added the Basic Black card front to the Pretty In Pink cardstock layer and then used Stampin' Dimensionals to add it to the Petunia Pop card base. I love how beautifully these colors work together and how they pop against the Basic Black card front. This card would work well to help celebrate a variety of occasions.

Stamping Inkspirations May Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations May Blog Hop and this month we have a Sketch Challenge to help spark our creativity. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore using the sketch below to help you create your own beautiful designs. 

For my sketch challenge design, I chose to use one of the beautiful sheets from the new Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to create the background layout. For the sentiment, I chose to use the new Simply Said stamp set, which is becoming one of my new go-to stamp sets for all occasion sentiments. I love the combination of the new 2024-2026 In Colors, Petunia Pop and Summer Splash. The accent strips are the reverse side of the card front and add a wonderful contrast to the design.

For my version of the sketch challenge, I wanted to keep it clean and simple. As you can see, I chose to use the designer series paper for my background layer and then cut three strips using the reverse side for the accents. 

Products Used:

Simply Said stamp set (item #163756)

Everyday Details Dies (item #162864)

Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper (item #163372)

Petunia Pop Cardstock (item #163801)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Summer Splash Classic Ink Pad (item #163809)

2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (item #163781)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Petunia Pop Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with the Everyday Details Dies

Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 4 1/2" x 3 1/4"

Top Strip - 1/2" x 2 3/4"

Middle Strip - 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Bottom Strip - 1/2" x 3 3/4"

I love the simplicity of this card sketch layout and I thought the tone on tone design was perfect for the card front layer. I added it to the Petunia Pop card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to help pop it up. The reverse side strips add a wonderful contrast to the Petunia Pop layer and the small flowers help tie it in with the rest of the card design. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Summer Splash Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label. I love how the Summer Splash ink helps add contrast to the card design. To finish off the card, I added several of the Summer Splash Shimmer Gems for a touch of sparkle. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful cards using this sketch. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore. The new 2024-2026 In Colors have so many coordinating products that are perfect for this style of card.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 19 - Lemon Lolly

It's time for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and for Week 19 we are showcasing Lemon Lolly from the Subtles Collection. This lovely, cheerful yellow is so pretty and I wanted to use the Simply Zinnias stamp set for the focal design for this card. 

For my clean and simple card design, I decided to pair the Simply Zinnia stamp set with the new Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder to add some wonderful texture to the card design. For the sentiment, I chose to use the Comforting Thoughts stamp set, which has a wonderful range of greetings to choose from. I wanted to create a card design that would be uplifting and help provide comfort to someone going through a difficult time. I think the finished card has achieve that goal. 

Products Used:

Simply Zinnia stamp set (item #163472)

Comforting Thoughts stamp set (item #163691)

Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (item #163789)

Lemon Lolly Cardstock

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Medium Circle die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies 

Sentiment Label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies 

For my clean and simple card design, I wanted to showcase this pretty yellow without it being too overwhelming. I chose to use Thick Basic White cardstock for the card base to help make the Lemon Lolly card front pop and then used Basic White cardstock for the focal circle and sentiment label to help balance out the design and add contrast. For the focal image, I used the single Zinnia flower and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White cardstock circle and then colored the image with the Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. I embossed the Lemon Lolly card front with the new Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder to add an almost symmetrical design and then added some shading with the Lemon Lolly Classic ink and a Blending Brush to bring out the detail in the design. I attached the card front to the card base and then added the circle focal image to the center of the card front to align with the embossed detail. For the sentiment, I chose one of the greetings from the Comforting Thoughts stamp set and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White sentiment label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. For a touch of shimmer, I colored over the zinnia image with Clear Wink of Stella. To finish off the design, I added two of the small Lemon Lolly Dots to the sentiment label. I love how this soft and pretty card design turned out and I hope it will help to brighten someone's day. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design featuring Lemon Lolly will help inspire you to give it a try in your next creative project. This pretty yellow is great for adding a bright pop of color to your designs.

ICS May Blog Hop Introducing the 2024-2026 In Colors

Welcome to the ICS May Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing the new 2024-2026 In Colors released this month. Our wonderful Design Team is excited to share their projects and ideas featuring these beautiful colors to help spark your creativity. The new 2024-2026 In Colors are Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash and they are perfect for Spring and Summer projects. 

One of my favorite things to do with the new In Colors is to use them all together to create a fun design. For this card, I chose to use the Trusty Tools stamp set and coordinating Trusty Tools Dies to create a colorful paint brush themed design. I used each of the colors from the 2024-2026 In Colors Classic Stampin' Pads Bundle to create splashes of color onto the embossed Basic White card front. I love how the swirled background looks like painted wall with that wonderful texture. This card design can be used for a variety of occasions to help celebrate how awesome someone is. 

Products Used:

Trusty Tools stamp set (item #163274)

Latte Love stamp set (item #163455)

Trusty Tools Dies (item #162722)

Something Fancy Dies (item #160424)

So Swirly Embossing Folder (item #163791)

Basic Black Cardstock (item #121045)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

2024-2026 In Color Classic Stamp Pads Bundle (item #165058)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

Linen Thread (item #104199)

2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (item #163389)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Basic Black Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Basic White Cardstock 

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder

5 stamped & die cut paint brushes with the Trusty Tools stamp set & coordinating Trusty Tools Dies

Sentiment Tag die cut with the Something Fancy Dies 

For this card design, I wanted to showcase how well the 5 In Colors looked together. The paint brushes from the Trusty Tools stamp set were a perfect way to display these beautiful colors. I stamped each of the handles and paint on the brushes using each of the colors and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. To give the impression of paint splattered along the bottom of the card front, I stamped the large splatter image from the Latte Love stamp set in each of the colors and then I embossed the card front using the So Swirly Embossing Folder. Using Linen Thread, I wrapped a piece around the bottom of the card front twice and tied a knot on the left side. I attached the paint brushes onto the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, in order of the paint splatters across the bottom, alternating the direction of the brushes. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White label and then stamped the splatters in Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Summer Splash, making sure to stamp off once for each color to give it a softer more muted look. I attached the sentiment onto the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it over the Linen Thread. I attached the card front to the Basic Black card base and then added several of the Resin Dots to complete the design. I love how fun and cheerful this design looks and I think it would be great for people of all ages. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to give these beautiful new In Colors a try and create your own wonderful projects. There are so many possibilities to explore with the wide range of coordinating products.

Stamping With Friends May Blog Hop Pocket Card

It's time to hop along with the Stamping With Friends May Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing Pocket Cards. Our wonderful Design Team will be showcasing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and try this fun card style to create your own beautiful designs. 

For my Pocket Card design, I chose to use the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to create a beautiful Mother's Day card. I paired it with the sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set and heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder to give it a touch of elegance. This style of Pocket Card was inspired by a similar card created by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Karen Titus. Instead of leaving the sides open, I chose to adhere them shut using Tear & Tape Adhesive. This style of card is great for adding a gift card inside for a special occasion. It is simple to create and so much fun to decorate. 

Products Used:

Stippled Roses stamp set (item #162657)

Painted Lavender Dies (item #162596)

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Wow Embossing Powders (item #165678)

Natural 3/8" Polka Dot Trim (item #163465)

Brushed Brass Butterflies (item #158136)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Mini Glue Dots (item #103683)

Tear & Tape Adhesive (item #154031)

Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock

Card Base - 4 1/4" x 11" (Scored at 1" & 5 1/2")

Medium Circle die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies

2 Small Circles die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies

Lost Lagoon Cardstock

3 Leaf Sprigs die cut with the Painted Lavender Dies

Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 4"x4"

Flap Strip - 3/4" x 4"

Insert Strip - 1" x 3 5/8"

Basic White Cardstock

Insert - 3 5/8" x 5 1/4"

I was so happy when Stampin' Up! decided to carry over the beautiful Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and I thought it would be perfect for this card design. I wanted to keep the design clean and simple with a touch of elegance. The coordinating patterns made it easy to mix and match to create the contrast with the front panel, the flap and the insert so that everything tied together. I added some foliage die cut with the Painted Lavender Dies and a touch of bling with the Brushed Brass Butterflies. The Natural Polka Dot Ribbon adds some wonderful texture to the design without being too bulky. For the pull top on the insert, I attached the small Gorgeous Grape circles on either side of the insert to make it easy to move the layer in and out of the pocket.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my Pocket Card design will help inspire you to explore this fun fold to come up with your own beautiful cards. There are so many options to explore.
