I was going through my stash the other day and literally said "I forgot I had this!" all excitedly when I came across this stamp set.  So kinda the perfect one to use for this challenge, huh?!  Hee.  


The stamp set is the Places You'll Go Stamp Set & the paper is from the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper pack.  I also used the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.  All of that is from my "stash" - Stampin' Up! products that have been retired.  But I die-cut the globe with the Stylish Shapes Dies - which is a current product!  Yay!  (And a fabulous current product, just saying.  Hee.) 

The globe is stamped & embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  Then watercolored with Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana & Azure Afternoon.  Pretty gorgeous, if I do say so myself.  Hee.  



Here is the stamp set & paper that I used.  Aren't they just gorgeous?!  💕

Sunshine Vibes! With the Artisan Design Team!

Well yay!  It is product spotlight time with some of the Stampin' Up! 2025 Artisan Design Team!  This time we are sharing fun inspiration made with the Sunshine Vibes Bundle!  YES!  I can't get enough of this!  Hee.  So let's get started! 


Both of these cards were SOOOO! MUCH! FUN! to make!  Let me show you a few details about them!  All supplies used are from Stampin' Up! 

First tip: Stamp the half sun stamp twice to make a full circle.  Then stamp the rays around it.  Great thing about these photopolymer stamps - you can see through them to be able to line it up well.  

Second tip: Draw lines with a Blends Marker (Nope - didn't use a ruler.  Wanted a more whimsical, not perfect, vibe since you were just seeing a bit peek out.  Use a ruler if you want more exact spacing & straight lines.

Third tip:  Color some Blends Marker onto Basic White Cardstock.  You can control color saturation by using Blends.  Let dry.  Then emboss over them.  

Yeah ... I love this card! 😃




On to a few details about the next card: 

I used Blending Brushes to add color in "rainbow" order.  Then I splattered some water over it all to create that splatter look.  Emboss with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder and voila!  A gorgeous & colorful background!  It was fun to mix it up and make a "rainbow" background with white rainbows! 



Hope you enjoy these cards! Have you played with this fabulous Sunshine Vibes Bundle yet?!

Piccadilly Players Hop #2! It Is Time For Some Faves!!!

Yippee!!!  It's time for ANOTHER Piccadilly Players Hop!  See THIS POST from our first hop & the introduction of us and the hop! 

Today this hop is all about sharing some love for our favorite ☆ NEW ☆ products from Stampin' Up!  There is a BRAND NEW Annual Catalog & FABULOUS Online Releases ... so it is not an easy choice.  But really ... it wasn't that difficult for me.  😂   Can't stop, won't stop, using the SUNSHINE VIBES Bundle.  OH.  MY.  GOODNESS.  It is just TOO good! So let's get this hop started! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors Strawberry Slush, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Basic Black
Inks: Strawberry Slush, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia: + BLENDS IN SAME COLORS & Basic Black Blends (for splatter), Lemon Lolly, VersaMark
Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Thick Basic White, Basic Black, Textured Metallic Speciality Paper
Stamps: Sunshine Vibes, Pattern of Friendship
Tools:  Sunshine Vibes Dies, Plaster Painting Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Blending Brush
Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Summer Splash 3/8" Bordered Ribbon

I had a lot of fun playing with these rainbow pieces.  For reference ... here is a photo of the bundle.  Then I will break it down a bit about what I did on this card! 

So much fun, right?!  So may layers and options and fun things to do!  For this I kept it pretty simple.  Here were my steps to create my rainbow: 

    🌈  Die-cut the large rainbow base piece from Basic White Cardstock. 

    🌈  Add Adhesive Sheet to the back of Basic White Cardstock.

    🌈  Die-cut the solid rainbow layers die-cut piece.

    🌈  Use Blends Markers to color your rainbow layers in desired colors!  NOTE: I used Strawberry Slush, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Summer Splash, & Fresh Freesia. 

    🌈  Use the stamps from the Sunshine Vibes (as shown in the photo below) to stamp the rainbow layers - stamped in the same ink color as Blends Marker used.

    🌈  Peel off backing and adhere the layers to the base rainbow piece! 


So easy and fun, huh?!  Then it's just adding some other fun details & you have a fabulously cheerful card for a special someone's birthday!  I. Love. This. Rainbow. 💖

I do want to point out this fun detail too ... that ruffle ribbon edge! 


I just used the Summer Splash 3/8" Bordered Ribbon (on the Last Chance list so grab this quick!) and adhered it down the back on the side.  I used the Tear & Tape Adhesive and then just folded the ribbon back and forth down the whole side.  Then added another strip of tape over it all when I was done.  It's so fun & adds some stunning texture to the card!

Here is another look at the full card ... 


Now, guess what?!  Yes you got it!  It's time to keep hoppity hopping to see what everyone else made to share!  There is SO! MUCH! GORGEOUS! INSPIRATION in store for you!  We are hopping on Instagram so head on over to my page - @designwithink to follow along!

Pretty Florals For Floral Delight With Stampin' Fancy Friday!

Florals are fabulous, aren't they?!  So make sure you are checking out this month's Stampin' Fancy Friday challenge! It is all about Floral Delight!!! 💖  And all of us on the Design Team are very excited about it!  There is loads of gorgeous inspiration to be found on the Stampin' Fancy Friday IG page! (@stampinfancyfriday)

I used the Pretty Florals Bundle & the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! (@stampinupofficial) to create this dainty floral thank you card.  I will also give a shout out to that fun Perennial Postage die-cut gold edge! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Gold
Inks: Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, VersaMark
Cardstock/Papers: Crumb Cake, Basic White, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, Adhesive Sheets, Gold Foil Sheets
Stamps: Pretty Florals
Tools:  Pretty Florals Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder, Water Painter, Heat Tool
Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Holographic Resin Dots, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder


Now on to some details!  I used one of the patterns from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper pack as the background to the card.  I liked the subtle Fresh Freesia pattern to add just a little flair but still make those darling florals pop.  ***Fun tip:  add Adhesive Sheet to the back of cardstock when you will be cutting out detailed images.  (Like the leaves here.)  This creates a fun little sticker that is easy to apply to your project! 💖


I used a Blending Brush & a Water Painter to add a soft bit of Coastal Cabana ink with splatter before I embossed the card front panel with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. I like the added texture it gives and how it "ground" the darling florals.  


What is your fave detail on this card?!  Here is one more veiw of the full card: 


Thank you so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoyed this card!  Please let me know if you have any questions!  I would be happy to help with all your papercrafting needs!  Don't forget to head on over to @stampinfancyfriday on Instagram to check out all the other Floral Delight inspiration!
