Stampin’Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop – Forever Lovely
Welcome to the 1st Artisan Blog Hop of 2019!
I am so excited to welcome you to the very first blog hop of the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Artisan Design Team! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs! There are so many AMAZING projects to inspire you featuring the Forever Lovely Bundle, part of the All My love Suite of Products from the 2019 Occasions Catalog!
If this is your first time stopping by my blog, I truly want to thank you for being here! I am so very honored. I do my best to provide inspiration as well as step-by-step instructions to my creations so that you can make them too! You can view my PDF Tutorial Library Here. You can also subscribe to my Newsletter and Blog Updates so you don’t miss out on future posts!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Adhere to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″. Create a 1/4″ flagged end by marking at 1 5/8 in (center) and 1/4″ up ( from bottom). Cut from the outside edge to the mark with a Paper Snips or Stampin’ Trimmer.
- Use a Stamparatus to
line-up (3/4″ from the top) and stamp the floral border image (Lovely Lipstick) and the coordinating greenery image (Soft Sea Foam). - Use the Big Shot to crop the heart (Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies) from the flagged piece as shown. Using the same die, crop a piece of Vellum Cardstock. Adhere on the right and left side with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Adhere a 4 1/8″ piece of Lovely Lipstick ribbon to the top of the flagged piece. Add the Flirty Flamingo 1/8″ ribbon (All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack) and stitched together with a sewing machine.
- Use the Big Shot to crop a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to outline the top floral image. Snip the edges so they are flush with the flagged piece and adhere with snipped-to-size Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the “Wishing You…” sentiment in Versamark Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess, set with a Heat Tool. Snip closely with a Paper Snips. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add three Multi-Sized Heart Epoxy Droplets for the final touch!
I absolutely love the Forever Lovely Bundle as well as the coordinating Meant to Be Bundle. The Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies nest together to create a gorgeous result. Add your final touches with the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack and Heart Epoxy Droplets.

The All My Love 12x12 Designer Series Paper is the perfect canvas to create those amazing Valentine’s, Wedding, and Anniversary creations that are sure to be loved by the recipient. What is your favorite product from Stampin’ Up!’s All My Love Suite?
That little Mini Pizza Box looked like the perfect 3-D packaging to wrap-up in the All My Love Suite of Products to create a gift box for a valentine. The flowers took a bit of snipping with my handy Paper Snips, but I love the result.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Start with a Mini Pizza Box as your creative canvas.
- Cut the following pieces of the All My Love Designer Series Paper: 3 1/4″ Squares, Qty 2; 7/8″ x 3 3/8″, Qty 4. Adhere to the box with Tear & Tape. Use sandpaper to add wear to the edges.
- Use a Stamparatus to line-up and stamp the floral border image (Lovely Lipstick) and the coordinating greenery image (Soft Sea Foam). Flip and adjust the cardstock to stamp it again close to each other. Zip through the Big Shot (two times) with the coordinating edgelit die. Snip the areas that do not cut with a Paper Snips.
- Use the Big Shot to crop two pieces of Whisper White Cardstock (within Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheets) with the coordinating die cut. Lay over the top of the floral image and mark areas that need to be snipped with a Paper Snips. Adhere over the top of the floral image as shown.
- Use the Big Shot and largest Scalloped Stitched Heart Die to crop a piece of Vellum Cardstock. Weave within the floral die cut image you just completed and adhere, with Stampin’ Dimensionals to a belly band created from the All My Love Ribbon (so it can slide on and off the box).
- Create a bow with the Flirty Flamingo 1/8″ Ribbon and adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
- Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess, and set with a Heat today. Snip to size with a Paper Snips. Flag one end with the Tailored Tag Punch. Crop the other end with a Big Shot and scalloped stitched edgelit die (Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies). Line up and adhere to the stitched heart vellum die-cut.
- Add three Heart Epoxy Droplets for a final touch.

Home to Roost for #GDP172
Happy Monday Everyone!
I am so excited to be back in the swing of things and joining the Global Design Project Team after what seems to be a very long hiatus.
I returned just in time! This week we are CASEing the amazingly talented Shawn De Oliveira! I had the opportunity to meet him in Florida at OnStage this past November. It is also so nice to finally meet the virtual friends you make doing this gig we all share and love so much!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece Grapefruit Grove Foil to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 3 7/8″ x 5″. Using 2nd generation stamping (stamp off on scrap paper first), stamp the grass image 3 times in Mossy Meadow Ink and 2 times in Soft Suede Ink. Use an Aqua Painter to pull some color towards the bottom of the card. Adhere to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a 4 1/2″ piece of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim. Pull apart so that the fibers resemble a herringbone. Adhere to the card with Mini Glue Dots.
- Stamp the rooster in Jet Black StazOn Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Color with an Aqua Painter and the following inks: Real Red (comb), Grapefruit Grove & Cajun Craze (cape & saddle), Pacific Point & Night of Navy (tail feathers & breast), Mossy Meadow (grass). Snip with a Paper Snips and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment in Jet Black StazOn ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform & Smallest (long & skinny) Rectangle Stitched Framelit Die. Snip down to 2″ long, tuck behind the rooster and adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add three Grapefruit Grove Enamel Dots (Happiness Blooms) for an added touch.
The vibrant colors of the rooster paired with the gorgeous Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets make for warm great card! Both the Home to Roost Cling Stamp Set and the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets can be earned for FREE with each $50+ purchase. You can shop all Sale-A-Bration Promotion items by CLICKING HERE.
The Paper Snips can be a crafters best friend…at least they are mine! I love to fussy cut images and make them pop off the page with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Fussy cutting is a therapy to me, I know to some it creates stress, for me, it relieves it. Stampin’ Up! does a great job with creating dies and punches that coordinate with stamps, making it quick and easy to crop and image.
The Braided Linen Thread carried over from the 2018 Holiday Catalog and I am so very happy that it did! It adds so much to a creation and was the perfect addition to this card.

Meant to Be! January 2019 Pals Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold both pieces at 5 1/2″.
- Cut two pieces of Whisper White Cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the heart image (Forever Lovely Stamp Set) in Soft Sea Foam Ink (multiple times) as shown. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Use the Big Shot & heart dies from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to crop the three die-cuts of Vellum Cardstock. Adhere as shown with small bits of Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the sentiment, two times, in Versamark Ink onto Smoky Slate Cardstock. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess, and set with a Heat Tool. Snip to apart and to size with a Paper Snips. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add Pearl Basic Jewels, a Heart Epoxy Droplet, (card on left) and Balmy Blue Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins (card on right) as shown.
The All My Love Suite of Products is at the top of my list when it comes to the all-new 2019 Occasions Catalog. The All My Love Designer Series Paper has a color combination that speaks to me. Soft Sea Foam is such a beautiful color, I decided to use it as a soft accent to my card.
The Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies are such a wonderful mix of hearts, eclectic and feminine, that pair well together, making for gorgeous focal points on any creation. Pair them with beautiful embellishments to make a simple, yet complete card with just the right pop of bling.
Snip the heart die-cut (shown here) into two pieces, then stack them to easily create a palette of hearts to fit the focal point. Small amounts of Snail Adhesive or Mini Glue dots (hidden behind the sentiments) can be used to adhere the thin hearts to the card.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.
