I am still playing catch up. But have a quick card to share with you. A friend asked me for some Thank You cards. I immediately thought of the Notecards and Envelopes. And paired that with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.
Stamps
The Inked & Tiled stamp set, and the Punch Bundle, was / is a favorite of mine at first sight. I love the punches, and the distressed look of the stamp set is wonderful. And with the New and Improved Stampin’ Write Markers I am loving the direct to rubber coloring! I colored the stamp with Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Markers before stamping. The markers are only available as a color family. But at times like this they are the perfect tool for the job.
The sentiment is from the Inked & Tiled set as well. It is added using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The simple Thank You is perfect. And it doesn’t detract from the flower.
Papers
The base card is the Basic White Notecards and Envelopes. They are a great bang for your buck and a perfect size. It is so easy to decorate these a little, or a lot. I went with the little decoration. From the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper I took a 1″ wide strip along the edge. We all have a lot of those strips, even in varying widths, that would work like this. I know I always have narrow strips leftover.
Finishes
My finishing touch is a scattering of bling. For this card I chose the Glossy Dots. I really love these and they are even better because they are almost flat! This makes it so easy to mail. They also fit more into a gift box or bag if gifting a set as I am here. Even if the color is not exact, the Stampin’ Up! colors all seem to work well regardless.

I am so behind on cards! Life can get crazy sometimes as we all know. So I have a quick card to share with you today. It features one of the Fun stamp sets that I am drawn to always. The Just My Type stamp set is right up my alley.
Stamp Set
Those of you who know me, know that I love the fun stamp sets. This set is perfect for quick and easy cards. The little typewriter, stamped with Pebbled Path, is adorable and has two different types of “paper” to add on. I chose the one with the rolled edge. There are two simple sentiments that will fit on the papers. It was a debate but I always like For You as an option. If I a sending you a card, then it is For You! The addition of the Bubble Bath little heart was a perfect match.
Papers
The DSP piece adds a bit of color and brightness to the Pebbled Path typewriter. I got several wonderful colors in this one partial sheet of paper. It is from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series paper. The uneven spreading of the colors goes with my whimsical theme.
The Bubble Bath card base came after I stamped the heart with Bubble Bath Ink. I really like the softness against all of the more vibrant colors of the DSP. And just to tie in with the White area of the typewriter scene, I added a thin layer of Basic White behind the DSP.
Finishes
There really are no big add ons for this card. All I did was add a couple of the Adhesive Back Solid Gems in Boho Blue. They are placed on the keys of the typewriter. Actually they show up very well in person, but sort of fade in to the Pebbled Path in the photo. Surprisingly that is all I did for a finish! With mailing getting more difficult when we add dimensionals and bumps, I kept this one very flat.

Today’s card is to showcase the Earthen Elegance Suite of products. Think copper glazed pottery and natural grasses. I love it!
Bundle
The Earthen Textures Bundle is amazing! The stamp set is vases and flora along with some wonderful sentiments. And the Die set is the vases and flora with extra flora. Plus you get some trim for the vases. I stamped the left vase with Pebbled Path on Crumb Cake card stock. The right vase is just die cut from Pecan Pie card stock. But the detail is a die cut from Crumb Cake card stock.
The flora pieces are stamped with Moody Mauve and die cut for each vase. I added a detailed stem cut from Pretty Peacock card stock for some added height and texture. The sentiment is from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and is stamped with Moody Mauve also.
Papers
The paper choice took a sideways turn, but I love it even more. My plan was to use the DSP piece from Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper that is the copper glaze look. It led to the Pecan Pie card base. The Pretty Peacock was chosen for a touch of color. And that I really am happy for it to be back in the Stampin’ Up! colors! So as I was going to glue the DSP piece to the Pretty Peacock layer I turned it over to add glue. That was the sideways moment. When I saw the opposite side of the paper my mind did a total shift. I had already completed all of the stamping and die cutting. And this piece of DSP fit so much better with my color choices. A win in my book!
Finishes
There are a couple of finishing touches today. First is the Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim. Oh My!!! I love the look of this and how much detail it adds to the card. And it was a perfect anchor for the sentiment. You know I need to add bling as well. So the debut of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots happens. I could not decide on which color worked best. A variety is fine in my book. These are one each of the Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, and Moody Mauve Dots.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope I have interested you in this fun Suite of products.

I have been on a floral kick of late. Today’s card is no different. It includes the Pansy Patch and Pansy Dies. And in honor of Mother’s Day, they are in my Mom’s favorite color. That is purple! So I mixed shades of purple to create the pansies.
The Pansies
These cute little pansies were created with the Pansy Dies. No stamping was required. I layered Gorgeous Grape with Highland Heather for the flower pieces. Other than figuring which dies did what, they go together very easily and fit perfectly. The leaves are two step also and are Pretty Peacock with Shaded Spruce. Mixing colors is so much fun!
Sentiment
The sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set as well. It is heat embossed on Gorgeous Grape. That is a step I don’t often do. But it adds so much! And to be different, I layered it as well. The banner is cut using the Something Fancy Dies. I then layered it on a piece of Pretty Peacock. The die gave the angle cut so I layered it on the Pretty Peacock strip and then used my Paper Snips to angle cut that piece. A quick way to add that second layer!
Colors, Finishes
I almost forgot the basket! I wanted to ground the pansies, so came up with the basket from Sweetest Cherries. Since the basket needed to be brown, I went with that for a layer. I chose the new Pecan Pie for that color. And back to Pretty Peacock for the card base.
My finishing touch is bling! The new Three Pack of Tinsel Gems had the colors I had used. There are purples for the pansy centers and then a couple of green for the white area.

This month, we have a Tic Tac Toe theme. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we love reading your comments. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I decided to go right down the center of the Tic Tac Toe box. It makes a fairly quick and simple card with some unexpected twists. Stamping on DSP is a fun change of pace.
Stamp Bundle
One of Suites that intrigued me immediately is the Inked Botanicals on page 96. The Bundle is the Inked & Tiled Bundle. It is a Punch bundle, which are my favorite! And this one has two punches in the bundle. For some unknown reason I have always loved the distressed stamps. Maybe because they look imperfect and make it a good thing!!
The flowers are colored with Stampin’ Write Markers direct to rubber. I used Flirty Flamingo and Pretty Peacock Markers. And then stamped onto the DSP piece. The extra flower is in the same set and was stamped on scrap paper after being inked with Flirty Flamingo Ink. The sentiment was stamped on scrap as well using Pretty Peacock Ink. The punch used is the cross looking punch. I centered the sentiment on one of the cross bars and punched. Then using paper snips I just cut away the other cross bar. Easy Peasy!!
Papers
The Designer Series Paper in the Suite is gorgeous. But…it was too dark to stamp on. And the idea to stamp on the DSP was in my brain. So I turned to the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I used two different sheets of the paper. They are a similar print, just one is Soft Sea Foam and the other Pretty Peacock tones. The stamped image shows well on the lighter piece of DSP.
My layers were pulled from the stamped flowers. The Flirty Flamingo to separate the two darker colors and then Pretty Peacock as the card base. I really love the two of these together. It was a surprise actually!
Finishes
The finishes for the card expanded as I was building it. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack. It is included in the Zoo Crew Suite of products. I have already mentioned the extra flower, which I fussy cut with my paper snips. And the sentiment created from the cross bar punch. The final touches were the scattering of Iridescent Pearls.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on June 14th, when our theme will be showcasing the New 2023-2025 In Colors.
