Jul 26, 2024 | 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, Christmas, In The Grove Bundle |
Hello!
I’m back! I was in Iowa visiting family. (I live in Pennsylvania.) It was nice to be back where I was raised. However, I’m happy to return to my craft room.
I did a Christmas in July theme for all my classes this month. I’d like to share one of the cards we made. I used the bundle, In The Grove. This stamp set is not a dedicated Christmas bundle, but I believe it makes a beautiful holiday card when used with the cool colors in the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. What do you think?
It really isn’t hard to put together and could be mass produced easily. There’s minimal stamping involved.
Here are the details
Materials needed
In the Grove Bundle
Grassy Grove Bundle (For deer die cut only)
Misty Moonlight Cardstock – 5 1/2in x 8 1/2in. scored at 4 1/2in., 1 1/2in. x 5in.
Basic White Cardstock – 4in. x 5 1/4in.
Thoughtful Journey Designers Series Paper 6×6 – Trim to 4in x 5 1/4 in. Keep the larger remainder piece for the die cut.
Gray Granite and Copper Clay Cardstock scraps for the critters.
Misty Moonlight Ink Pad
Blackberry Bliss Ink Pad
Process
* Trim the Designer Series Paper to 4 in. on the short side and 5 1/4in. on the long side. KEEP the remaining piece for the die cut.
* Place the Mountain Die at the top of the remaining DSP piece and die cut.
* Die cut the smaller Misty Moonlight piece with the tree outline die cut. Place the die at the top of the piece and die cut.
* Die cut the Basic White piece with the birch trees die.
* Die cut the adorable critters (Side note-I was going to use the fox stamp and die cut. When I was putting the animals on my card, Mr. Fox was staring hungrily at the poor bunny! That’s why I substituted the equally adorable deer.)
* Stamp the mountain stamp on the purple part of the DSP using the Blackberry Bliss Stamp pad.
* Stamp a sentiment on the bottom of the white die cut piece.
* Adhere the mountain die cut piece and then the tree line die cut piece.
* Place your deer and adhere.
*Adhere the white die cut piece and then adhere the bunny and squirrel.
* Adhere the finished piece horizontally to the front of the card base.
That does it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello,
When I first saw the Wildly Flowering Suite Collection in the new catalog, I immediately fell in love with the paper. Yes, I must confess I am a paper addict. I went ahead and ordered the whole suite though, because I could, right? Let me tell you, those stamps are as sweet as sweet can be!
I decided to play along with Freshly Made Sketches today in order to show them off. Below is my inspiration and my card:
Would you like the details? Here they are!
Have fun creating today!

May 8, 2024 | 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, Thoughtful Journey Suite |
Hello!
When Spring comes, I start dreaming about a backyard garden. I lovingly look through catalogs and purchase beautiful plants. After planting, reality sets in. Weeding……watering……and more weeding. My dream turns into a nightmare!
This year will be different. While I’m still planting things, I’m not planting the quantity that I have in years past. I’m also planting more perennials so there will be even less to do next year.
What am I going to do in my spare time? Make beautiful cards using all of the floral images in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! Today I have a card for you that features the Thoughtful Journey Suite. The Thoughtful Wishes Bundle in the suite includes stamps and dies that are beautiful and versatile. And you can’t make an ugly card using the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 Designers Series Paper Pack!
So simple! Here’s the details:
Pieces and Parts:
Lost Lagoon Cardstock 133679, 2 pieces – 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 in. and 4 1/4 x 5 in.
Petunia Pop Cardstock 163801, 1 piece – 2 1/4 x 5 1/2
Thoughtful Journey Suite 163320
Thoughtful Wishes Bundle 1663314
Thoughtful Journey 6×6 Designer Series Paper Pack 163303 – 1 piece
Petunia Pop Ink Pad 163811
Deckled Circles Dies 162286 LOW INVENTORY

That’s it! I hope my card made you smile!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! We are embracing some (or all) of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful blues for today’s hop – there are so many great ways to showcase the blues in the current color families! We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I’m so glad to be singing the blues today with you. The two blues I chose to feature are Boho Blue and Night of Navy. Of course, I turned to the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for Inspiration.
I just love how these 2 blues work so well with one another! The card base is Night of Navy as well as the sentiment strip. The doily is made using the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder. I embossed a 4×4 in. piece of Boho Blue from the 2023-2025 In Color Luster Specialty Paper. This paper just sparkles in a way you just can’t see from my photo. Take my word for it, you NEED this paper! I then used the coordinating die to cut my doily out. After running it through my die cut machine a couple of times, it turned out beautifully. I wanted a Night of Navy background so that the die cut doily would be more distinct. I took a 4×4 piece of Night of Navy and cut it with the outline die, then adhered it to the back of the Boho Blue Doily. I embossed the sentiment from Go To Greetings in white. I finished the card with 2 dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card features the Playful Pets Suite found on page 40 of the Annual Catalog. Those of you that are familiar with this suite are going to say,” Hmmmm, I don’t remember balloons in that suite.” You would be correct. There are no balloons, but there is a big ‘ole dog that is just dying for some balloons to hold! Here’s my card:
Isn’t he adorable? Here are the details:
*Start with a Thick Basic White card base
*Add a piece of Real Red measuring 4 x 5 1/4 in.
*Add the DSP measuring 3 3/4 x 5 in.
*Use the Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch out one balloon from the Playful Pets DSP and another from
the Regals DSP Pack.
*Glue a piece of the twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack to the back of each balloon with Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue
*Glue the small balloon to the DSP panel. Pop up the large balloon using Stampin’ Dimensionals
*Fussy Cut the dog from the DSP and pop him up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Make sure you adhere the balloon strings with a glue dot and situate your dog so that his paw is “holding” the balloons.
*Stamp the sentiment from the Pampered Pets stamp set on a 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. piece of Basic White cardstock with Real Red ink. Die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly die. Adhere to the panel.
