Hello, and welcome to my blog! Do you have a stamp set that when you look at it, sometimes you only see it being used in one way? Today I am going to share a card project Stampin’ Up! designers shared with us using the Gears & Textures Bundle (really the stamps) on a floral card! Now, if you saw my post the other day, you know how excited I was for a masculine card. If you missed it, be sure to check it out HERE. It’s a great card. The card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of…

Hello, and welcome to my blog. Do you love a good masculine, grunge type card? Well, then I have a project for you today. There’s almost no rhyme or reason, no thinking, no making sure things are in perfect alignment. Sound fun? Let’s take a look at my card using the Gears & Textures Bundle and two designer papers from the Nature’s Walk suite collection. Ahhhh…. I just love a good masculine card! And one that is non-specific to a certain male. Meaning, a dad or son or brother. This card can be given to any male friend, colleague, or…

Welcome to our February Team Blog Hop featuring Blending Techniques! Did you know Stampin’ Up! has several different tools and products to create blended images and backgrounds? You can find these on pages 128-129 in the Annual Catalog. I have chosen to show how I used our Blending Brushes to create a blended ombre background and our Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to color the flowers and leaves of my project: Using a blending brush and Melon Mambo ink pad, brush on ink to a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 piece of Basic White card stock. Apply more pressure to the blending brush…

Do you like creating your own backgrounds for your projects? Do something different? Well, I have an idea for you… Using Stampin’ Up! Un-Inked, Ink Spots and Ink Refills, create unique color combinations and two-tone ink pads to create those unique backgrounds. Or even to make two-tone images. Creating your two-toned Ink Spots: using Pretty In Pink and Daffodil Delight ink refills, ink half of your Stampin’ Spot with one color and the other half with the second color. Make sure to put just enough ink so you can see it start to soak through the side of the pad.…

Continue reading →: Simply The Best Card (Lovely & Beautiful Suite)
Welcome to Creative Card Closet. This Simply The Best card is made with items from the Lovely & Beautiful Suite collection. Hi, I’m Lisa Brown, and I love sharing projects made with Stampin’ Up! products. Here’s an easy card made in a snap. Literally, so easy to recreate and duplicate! I did add the textured background by embossing a piece of Basic White card stock that is 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. I cut 3 strips of the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper from the suite to 1-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ and adhering them randomly on…

There are some pictures that just don’t do justice, and this is one of them. Welcome to Creative Card Closet, where I love to share projects made with Stampin’ Up! products. With the recent release of the January – May Mini Catalog for 2026 and Online Exclusives, there are a lot of great items we might miss.
