Painterly Pear Pink Hello Card

September 28, 2025 No Comments

This card turned out really cute with the pink Painterly Pear designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. It is just so bright and cheery with the petal pink background and I just love the colors.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Perfectly Pears stamp set and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Paper Tags stamp set (2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
Darling Duckling ink (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
Soft Suede ink (retired Stampin; Up)
Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
Low-Profile Sparkle Dots (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Mossy Meadow card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 2 5/8” x 4”. From your Petal Pink card stock cut a piece to 2 ½” x 4” and another for the inside to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Then from the pink piece of paper from the designer series paper from the Painterly Pears designer series paper pack cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Cut a piece of white card stock for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.

With the Perfectly Pears large pear outline stamp and the Mossy Meadow ink stamp two pears on some white card stock. Then take the large pear inside stamp and first stamp in Old Olive ink and then again in Darling Duckling ink a little off-set so it shows along the edges. Then stamp two of the stem and leaves in Mossy Meadow. Use the dies to cut them out. Then with your Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends add a little pink coloring to the pears. From a piece of Darling Duckling card stock and Darling Duckling ink stamp one of the three flowers. Then with the Soft Suede ink and the flower centers stamp them. Use the die to cut out the flowers and also one of the hash pieces. With a scrap piece of white card stock and the Mossy Meadow ink stamp Hello and use the small label die to cut out.

Now let’s build your card. Start with your Mossy Meadow card base and adhere the Pink Pear designer series paper to the front. Then adhere the Mossy Meadow 2 5/8” x 4” piece in the center and adhere the pink 2 ½” x 4” piece onto that. Take the Darling Duckling hash piece and adhere down about ½” from the top. Then adhere your pear on the right along with the stem and leaves and then adhere the second pear to the left with stem and leaves using pop dots. Use pop dots to adhere your flowers in the lower right corner. With pop dots adhere your hello over the Darling Duckling hash. Then with the Low-Profile Sparkle Dots decorate around in the Mossy Meadow dots.

For the inside of your card adhere your Petal Pink piece to the inside of your card and then the white inside piece to it. From the Paper Tags stamp set and your Mossy Meadow ink, find the “it’s a wonderful day to celebrate you” greeting stamp and stamp on the inside upper center.

This card turned out so pretty and I love the Paper Tags stamp on the inside. It is just a great card to say hello to a friend you haven’t talked to in a bit.

Beautiful Gallery Floral Vase Thinking of You Card

September 26, 2025 No Comments

I used this lovely artistic roses in a vase paper from the Beautiful Gallery suite from Stampin’ Up to make this beautifully embossed card. I embossed the whole image which makes it look even more like a painting.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Gallery Blooms stamp set (Stam2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Beautiful Motifs stamp set (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
VersaMark Ink
Copper Clay ink (Stampin’ Up)
Clear embossing powder
Heat gun
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 3/16” x 5 7/16”. Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside of your card. Take your Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and find the roses in a vase piece. Trim it down to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” which basically just trims the edge of the rose on each side.

Take your trimmed roses piece and put onto a piece of scrap paper. With your VersaMark ink, ink up the whole piece of paper and then cover in clear embossing power, then tap off the excess and use your heat gun to melt the embossing powder to a clear finish. Adhere this (I suggest with a lot of adhesive all over as it bubbles a bit which you can see with mine) to your piece of white card stock and then to the front of your card base.

Take a white piece of scrap paper and stamp in Copper Clay in the “Thinking of You” greeting from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. Trim around your greeting for form a strip about ½” wide. Trim a scrap strip of Secret Sea card stock to 5/8”. Trim the end of each with a pair of scissors to form your banner end and then adhere together and trim off the flat end at about 2 ¼” and adhere to the front lower left side of your card front.

For the inside of your card the white seemed awfully bright, so I used Basic Beige. Take your Basic Beige piece and your Copper Clay ink and stamp the “I’m here for you always” greeting from Beautiful Motifs in the upper center and then from the Gallery Blooms stamp set use the small bouquet of roses stamp and stamp in the lower left corner. Adhere to the inside of your card.

This is such a beautiful artsy card that I can’t wait to give to someone.
