Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the US. Welcome to my blog. Today is the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Bundled Up! The design team have each picked a favorite bundle from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and we’ve got some inspiration for you. I can wait to share my Artistically Inked cards with you!
My cards today are in three levels:
- beginner/simple stamping: quick, easy projects needing limited supplies; clean and simple cards;
- casual stamping: takes a little more time, uses some tools, more embellishments, creations for an occasion;
- avid stamping: more time, techniques, tools, whatever it is, I want to do it!

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Bundled Up
Simple Stamping Thank You

For this simple stamping thank you card, I used the Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes. I love these packs! They come with 20 cards and envelopes. And the “real estate” to design is just a bit smaller than a standard card. So, it makes them perfect for quick and easy cards!
I used the stamps from Artistically Inked in Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Pear Pizzazz. It’s such a happy color combo!
Since I stamped my sentiment last, I did use my Stamparatus. It’s such an easy way to make sure my words are straight!
Artistically Inked Casual Card

For my casual stamping card, I went with the clean lines of black and white. The Basic Black card base layered with the same adds to the clean look.
The beautiful floral is Basic White is die cut with the Artistic Dies. And, again I used my Stamparatus for the sentiment. This time, I wanted to make sure that it was centered.
Artistically Inked Avid Thank You Card

And of course, you can use the Artistically Inked Bundle to step it up even more!
For this card, I used the same color combo as the simple stamping card. In fact, I used all of the same elements plus a couple.

I added dimension with the flowers and leaves. And, I tucked in some pieces from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack and some of the Simply Elegant Trim in gold.
This time, the sentiment was stamped and then die cut. I used the Tailor Made Tags. They’re awesome for tags and more! You can find a size chart for the Tailor Made Tags Dies HERE

Gorgeous cards, Sara!!! Love all of the layers and dimension!
Thank you, Tammy!
Dear Sara, Thank you so much for the Artistically Inked cards. Especially the last two had quite a few ideas that were new to me: using the heat tool from the back so that the powder doesn’t accidentally blow off of the Versamark, using the Blends to cover up any flecks and in the 3rd card using alcohol to shape the flowers and leaves. I couldn’t comment below the video, according to YT I had to log in again and Gmail told me I’d changed my password. I may have, but don’t recall it so need to ask hubby and it’s 3.40 AM, so I’d better ask him later LOL!
Ineke, you are the night owl! I’m so glad that these cards provided you with some new tips and ideas to use in your card making!
Fab idea to create a 3D effect with the flower to finish off the card perfectly! Lovely ideas using this wonderful suite! xxx
Thanks, Sharni! Definitely one of my favorites in the catalog.
Sara I love the added detail of scrunching up the flowers. Such a great added detail.
Thanks, Martin!
Beautiful cards Sara! Great way to show the bundel! x
Thank you, Yvonne!
