Quick and Easy Card Featuring Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Trying out the sketch from last week's Freshly Made Sketches (FMS 519) with the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set. Super simple and super cute.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 card (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Basic White. The balloon images are stamped on a die cut from the second largest scallop rectangle die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. The balloons are colored using Stampin' Blends.

Super easy and super cute card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop


Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the January Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Krissi Hannahs' blog. Great project, Krissi! Welcome one and all.

The theme for this month's blog hop is Birthdays and Sale-A-Bration. My favorite Sale-A-Bration product is the Sunshine & Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - free with a $50 purchase (excluding s/h/t). My favorite birthday sentiment is the Happy Birthday die from the Birthday Chick Dies. Super easy and super cute card.

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Using Rainbow of Happiness Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Take a look at this beauty from the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. The coordinating Brilliant Rainbow Dies has this fantastic rainbow edge die. Too cute.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 card (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Basic White. To show off a beautiful strip of  DSP on the inside panel, trim off 1" from the front, right panel. Adhere the rainbow edge die strip to the 3" wide embossed panel placed 1/8" from the left edge (or adjust to your specific measurement).

The colors of my rainbow were chosen from the coordinating Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper - Sunshine & Rainbows, and include Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay and So Saffron. I think these colors worked well together. 

Finishing touches: I stamped several of the small "raining" hearts image and adhered a small die cut cloud using a mini dimensional.

Super easy and super cute card.

Retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set and Seasonal Layers Dies for a Retirement Card

Hello my crafty friends! Hope you all have had a fantastic holiday. To officially close out 2021, I thought I would share a retirement card I made for a long-time co-worker that is retiring. She already has her card so I am not spoiling the surprise.


Some of you may recall that the die for the adirondack chair is one of my all time favorites. Since I was already using a retired die from the Seasonal Layers Dies, I figured I would just complete the card with the retired Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. I think both the stamp set and the dies were retired in 2018. The mat is simply a Basic White cardstock cut 5 1/4" x 4" and I used the Blending Brushes to create the background of green, blue and a splash of yellow for a setting sun. 


Just a bit of news in my post today since the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is retiring at the end of the day Monday, January 3, 2022. If you have had your eye on anything in this mini catalog, you should head to my online store for the Last Chance Sale (formerly the year-end closeout). Several stamp sets and dies/punches will carry over - some to the next Annual Catalog and some to the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. My favorite ribbon, the Black and White Gingham Ribbon will carry over to the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. So happy!!

Exciting news too!! The January-June 2022 Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs go live on January 4. I hope you received your copy of the catalogs already. Let me know if not so I can rectify that.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my card has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
