Stampin’ Up! Abstract Impressions
Yesterday was the Glitter Queens Blog Hop where our theme was red, white and blue. I thought I’d continue using these beautiful colors one more day! If you missed the hop yesterday, you can start here! (more…)
Stampin’ Up! Bloom & Grow
Stampin’ Up! catalogs are filled with cardmaking ideas! The inspiration for today’s card came right from the catalog on page 131.
I used the Bloom & Grow Bundle which includes the Bloom & Grow stamp set and the Budding Blooms dies. Did you happen to notice the scalloped edge above & below the sentiment? That was done using the two top dies in the picture below. I love that I can do both edges at the same time!
Directions for Today’s Card
All the products I used are in the Supply List below. Simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. Place inside the Tufted Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine. Adhere to the front of the card using Snail.
- Stamp (2) flower images from the stamp set Bloom & Grow onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color both images using Stampin’ Blends: Light & Dark Pool Party and Light & Dark Granny Apple Green. Cut both out using the Budding Blooms Dies.
- Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Place the two scalloped dies above and below the sentiment and run through your die-cutting machine. Snip off at the ends. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
- Using Snail, adhere both sets of flowers to the front of the card. Attach the sentiment between them.

Stampin’ Up! I Say Hello
Hello there!
Today’s card is all about the new 2019-2021 In Color, Seaside Spray. When you purchase a package of the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, you’ll receive all five colors (Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy and Terracotta Tile) in four different designs.
All of the new In Colors have a coordinating ribbon and I used the Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon. It’s so pretty in person! Another new product I used is the stamp set, I Say Hello.
After I made the card I wondered what it might look like if I had incorporated Crumb Cake into the card (taking the cue from the ribbon) and used it as the base instead of Whisper White. That’s another variation to try!
Directions to Make Today’s Card
All the products I used are in the Supply List below. Simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my online store.
- Cut a piece of thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score at 5-1/2″ and fold in half. This will be your card base.
- Cut a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. Place inside the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder and run it through a die-cutting machine.
- Cut a piece of 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) that measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ and glue it to the bottom part of the embossed Seaside Spray piece. Wrap a piece of Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the middle of the card where the DSP and cardstock meet. Add a small amount of Snail on the back of the card and place the ends of the ribbon there to adhere it. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals all over the back (I also placed them on the edge of the card where the ribbon is) and attach to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment in Seaside Spray ink using the stamp set, I Say Hello. Cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. Cut another, larger square in Seaside Spray cardstock. Layer the two together using Snail. Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and place on the card.
- For a finishing touch, add three rhinestones to the front of the card.

Bloom & Grow Bundle
Today’s card uses five new products (and one new bundle) from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog:
- Bloom & Grow Stamp Set
- Budding Blooms Dies
- Bloom & Grow Bundle
- Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder
- Purple Posy Cardstock
- Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends
First up is the stamp set, Bloom & Grow. If you love flowers, you’re going to love this set (plus it includes some great sentiments)! All of the images are perfect for coloring and then you can cut them out using the coordinating Budding Bloom Dies. These two products are also bundled together so if you want to purchase both, be sure to use the bundle item number so you’ll save 10%!
To color the flowers, I stamped the flower image onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Then I used both the Light & Dark Purple Posy AND Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and leaves. You always want to use Memento Ink when using our Stampin’ Blends or you’ll find the ink will bleed.
Once I cut the image out with the Budding Blooms Dies, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card.
Each year Stampin’ Up! introduces five new colors that are available for two years. I used one of these new colors, Purple Posy on my card today! Sometimes when photographing my cards, some of the colors appear darker than they actually are. The color swatch below of Purple Posy is a better indication of the true color.
Directions for Today’s Card
- Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half. This will be your card base.
- Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″ and attach to the base of the card.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5″ x 3-3/4″. Run it through a die-cutting machine using the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. Attach to the front of the card.
- Stamp the flowers from the stamp set, Bloom & Grow, onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color it using Purple Posy & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Cut it out using the Budding Blooms Dies. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3-1/2″ x 7/8″. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Ink.
- Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 1-1/8″ x 3-3/4″. Attach the sentiment to the front using Snail adhesive. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.

Create Flowers Using the Hot Air Balloon Punch
Happy Monday!
Today I want to share a video from Stampin’ Up! showing how to make beautiful paper flowers using the brand new Hot Air Balloon Punch and the Good Morning Magnolia Bundle which includes the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Magnolia Memories Dies. Before watching the video, when looking at the hot air ballon punch all I saw was a hot air balloon but now I see petals! Don’t you love it when you can use a product in a way you hadn’t thought of?
Below the video you’ll find a list of the supplies used. Enjoy!

Hello Friend
Today’s card was created using Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. It’s part of the Garden Lane Suite which also includes the stamp set Verdant Garden which I also used on my card today.
I don’t normally use more than one stamp set but for this card I did. The sentiment is from the stamp set, To a Wild Rose, shown below. Look carefully and you might notice something that will make you shudder. I cut the stamp, “To Be Your Friend”. I realized that I would get more out of the stamp set if “friend” was by itself, so I took my Paper Snips and cut it! It IS a little scary but oh so worth it if you’ll use a particular stamp more often.
I used the stamp set Verdant Garden for the pretty little rose. I thought it would make a nice little touch especially with the pop of color. I used Watercolor Pencils to color it in and then smoothed it out with the Blender Pen. Sometimes when you color with pencils, you can see streaks of color and a Blender Pen completely solves that problem! I hand cut the rose which was pretty easy to do.
Directions to Create Today’s Card
- Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score at 5-1/2″ and fold in half.
- Cut a piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″, Adhere to the front of the card.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″. Cut a piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper that measures 3-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and then attach it to the piece of Whisper White. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
- On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment using Mossy Meadow ink and the stamp set, To a Wild Rose. Cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. Cut another larger circle in Pool Party cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies. You’ll need to make one more circle in Mossy Meadow using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer all the pieces together using Snail. Turn it over and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the center. Turn it back over and attach to the card.
- Stamp the rose from the stamp set, Verdant Garden, in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Color it using Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Watercolor Pencils. Use a Blender Pen to blend and smooth out the colors, if desired. Add Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the sentiment.
