Cross-Teaming Beary Cute and Beautiful Balloons for December Birthday Greetings

Hello my crafty friends. December birthday cards are really tough to squeeze into the mix of holiday baking, cardmaking and gift wrapping. Whew, so glad that the cardmaking crunch is over. Today I thought I would share one of my December birthday cards combining the Beary Cute collection and A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper with the birthday set, Beautiful Balloons. Happy birthday to all those with December birthdays!

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish the top side for a crisp edge. The Pretty Peacock mat (4” x 5 1/4") and the DSP (4” x 4”) create a beautiful background to the polar bear delivery of balloons and birthday wishes in coordinating Pretty Peacock classic ink. The polar bear is created from the Beary Cute stamp (Pecan Pie classic ink) and punch, then fill in the polar bear using the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (light). Coordinating cap ‘n scarf stamped in Pretty Peacock classic ink. Just a hint of Lost Lagoon in the retired ribbon peeking out from behind the balloons.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I was thinking that my friends born in December might appreciate a birthday card that does NOT include traditional holiday colors of red and green. What do you think?

I (HEART):  Love this collection of trees from A Walk in the Forest DSP, especially those stick trees in Pretty Peacock. 😊

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.

Simple Holiday Card featuring Tiny Christmas Trees Die

Hello my crafty friends. Last week I shared a simple card using an embossing folder so this week I want to share a simple card using the Tiny Christmas Trees Die. Die cutting is another method for creating a beautiful and super simple card.

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish the side for a crisp edge. The trees are die cut from Garden Green cardstock (5 1/4" x 4”) and a slightly smaller piece is fixed behind the mat for Real Red trees. The Merry Christmas sentiment (from the Beary Cute Stamp Set) is inked in Real Red and the right edge is finished using the Banners Pick a Punch.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Traditional holiday colors for the tiny trees really makes this card. If you want to try a non-traditional color, please share with us.

I (HEART):  Love these teeny tiny trees. This die creates lots of teeny tiny trees for use in a shaker card! Love it! 😊

Simple Holiday Card featuring Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder

Hello my crafty friends. We are on the home stretch for completing our holiday cards so they are timely out in the mail. It may be time to simplify your cardmaking by using the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder! Another beautiful and super simple card.

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish the top for a crisp edge. I went with a Crumb Cake mat (5 1/4" x 4”) for embossing and a splash of Real Red behind the Merry Christmas sentiment (from the Beary Cute Stamp Set), cut a bit long in order to place a teeny tiny gingham bow.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  So, Basic White for the card base to reduce costs, but you could swap it out for either Real Red or Garden Green.

I (HEART):  Love, love, love the teeny tiny gingham bow. Not gonna lie, it was a bit hard to get it that small!! Love it! 😊

Holiday Card featuring Beary Cute Stamp Set and A Walk in the Woods DSP

Hello my crafty friends. One of my favorite holiday cards this year has been using the images from the coordinating Designer Series Paper to the Beary Cute Stamp Set/Bundle – A Walk in the Woods DSP. Could card making be any easier, or cuter?

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish for a crisp edge. There are at least three choices of color for the first layer mat (5 1/4" x4”) to coordinate with the larger trees in this pack of DSP. Added bonus is you can quickly chop out a couple of trees and then use the coordinating dies from the Merriest Trees Dies to give the images a crisp edge. For my wintry background, the top mat (5” x 3 3/4") is Basic White embossed with the retired folder, Softly Falling, to give the appearance of snow lightly falling. And, by using the less dense side for the top, I was able to stamp the sentiment without adding a separate piece as a banner.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  There are several polar bears in the DSP that can easily be fussy cut, or coordinate with the Beary Cute Punch.

I (HEART):  Love, love, love this paper pack, A Walk in the Woods Designer Series Paper. So many colors to choose from. So many polar bears, and the cute, cute baby polar bear. Love it! 😊

Holiday Card featuring Merriest Trees Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. In keeping with our goal of staying on top of our holiday card making, here is another card using the Merriest Trees Stamp Set in the familiar book binding design. I also used the coordinating A Walk in the Forest DSP for the background.

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. To create the book binding design, add a second score line at 6 3/4 (an additional 1 1/4"). The DSP is cut at 4” x 5” (be sure to pay special attention to your pattern before cutting), then remove a 1” piece so that there are now 2 pieces - Side A of the DSP is 4” x 4” and Side B of the DSP is 1” x 4”. Once both pieces are adhered, add a double wrap of the Linen Thread and secure inside behind the 1 1/4" section.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Many of the papers in this DSP pack will work for this card, however, if it seems too busy, there is no requirement to use Side B! Keep them both the same.

I (HEART):  I snuck in a red heart from the Alphabet à la Mode Dies on the gingham bow. Love it! 😊

Holiday Card featuring the Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. In order to stay on top of holiday card making, we are making at least one holiday card at each workshop. Last month’s workshop featured this adorable mitten in a non-traditional holiday color, the new 2023-25 In Color Boho Blue.

This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mittens are stamped on a 2 1/2" strip of Basic White. The DSP strips from the 2023-25 In Color 6x6 Designer Series Paper Assortment are 1/4“ strips. Center on a Boho Blue mat (cut 4” x 5 1/4").

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  This super simple card would be awesome in your favorite color, not just this wintry blue or any traditional reds and greens.

I (HEART):  The Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set covers many card and gift-giving events. Should be a staple for every crafter! 😊

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Cheerful Daisies and Darling Details

Hello my crafty friends. I love the new daisies, and the bundle is perfect on its own, but today’s card uses a fun border from the Darling Details collection.

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mat is from the Fresh As a Daisy DSP (cut 4” x 5 1/4"). The border is die cut from a piece of the new in color Pebble Path (cut 4” by 5 1/4").

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  The three dies in the Darling Details bundle are awesome for framing the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Today this die has my top pick spot. What is your stamp set/bundle right now?

I (HEART):  First, I love this dual-font sentiment from the Darling Details Stamp Set. And, of course, I am still loving the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Beautiful paper – makes a great background!

It is time for Christmas in July Cards

Hello my crafty friends. It may seem strange, but it is time to start working on our holiday cards. At last week’s workshop, we worked with great images from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and dies, with traditional greens and reds.

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mat is 4” x 5 1/4" in Real Red. The wreath is stamped in Shaded Spruce and die cut. The bottom panel in the photo is a piece of retire DSP (3 3/4" x 1 1/2"), however, the stripes can be made by a swipe of a stamp pad over a mask.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  The card is super simple and hopefully inspires you to pull out your stash and just make a card! If you want, you could add some basic twine or a ribbon in coordinating colors.

I (HEART):  Speaking of color, traditional reds and greens are my go-to colors for holiday cards. 😊

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. Just a quick post on this beautiful Saturday evening about the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set!

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mat is 4” x 5 1/4". I really don’t think I will ever be able to use up this super-sized pack of beautiful patterned paper (Dandy Designs DSP).

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Balloons are a staple in my cardmaking.

I (HEART):  The fringe and my new fringe-making die! 😊 What is your favorite (at least right now!)?

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.

Stamp On!!

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. Summer is here. Well, officially not until June 21. With the beautiful weather outdoors, as you know, crafting time gets harder to find. Carving some time out for this Cheerful Daisies card. What a fun set!!

This is a side fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", fold and burnish for a crisp edge. The mat is from the Fresh As a Daisy DSP (cut 4” x 5 1/4"; second cut is 1 1/4").

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Taco Fiesta Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. This is a perfect birthday card to share on Cinco de Mayo!! The card features fun and festive images from the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set. I created this one for my workshop swap card in April.

The card base is a basic style (full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), then fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, top fold A2 card. I am still trying to use up this super-sized pack of beautiful patterned paper (Dandy Designs DSP), the mat is 4” x 5 1/4" and the embellishment is just large enough for 3 full avocados across, with strips of coordinating papers fringed.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Although not used on this card, I think the piñata is super cute and fun to color. I highly recommend this stamp set.

I (HEART):  The sentiments are “p”unny. What is your favorite? 😊

Quick and Easy Card for Easter featuring Ladybug Builder Punch

Hello my crafty friends. Time for an Easter card you say? But not another flower card. Hummm. So how about a challenge? Maybe a bunny card made from punches? Challenge accepted. I created my bunny using the Ladybug Builder Punch with an assist from the Medium Daisy Punch and the Cloud Punch. Just check out those cute bunny ears!

I used Basic White, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz pieces from the Medium Daisy punch for the bunny ears, the sunrays and the grass. The edges of the cloud/sentiment are sponged with Balmy Blue to provide some distinction from white background.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Seriously, how about those cute bunny ears using the Ladybug Builder Punch!

I (HEART):  Of course, the bunny ears. What is your favorite? 😊

Quick and Easy Cards featuring Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper

Hello my crafty friends!! There is just over 40 days left to get your very own package of the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. I have no idea if there is plenty of this great paper available or if Stampin’ Up! is close to running out -- I suspect we are very close to running out. Check out these two cards that feature the bicycles with baskets of flowers.

The first card (left) features a strip of the bicycles and prominently displays the new Alphabet A’ La Mode dies spelling out LOVE. For the second card (bottom right), I have punched out one of the bicycles using the rectangular postage stamp punch. Super simple, but really cute. Check out the top right corner for a snip-it of the full page of all the hearts that match up to the Country Bouquet Punch.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  How about these soft color combinations and the pop of red (2022-24 In Color Sweet Sorbet)!

I (HEART):  No secret here, I love the old-fashioned look of the bicycles. What is your favorite? 😊

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Warm Welcome Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends!! Today’s card features the Warm Welcome Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I bought this stamp set and dies because of one stamp – that super cute cat!! Okay, okay, maybe the cat was not the only reason, but is the cat not the cutest?? Tell me about it.

The card base is a basic style (full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half lengthwise at 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2"), then fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card (landscape). The first layer of Pretty Parakeet cardstock measures 4” x 4" for an interesting mat stamped with the Hand-Drawn Dots background stamp. You could pop up the door with dimensionals, but I did not to facilitate mailing my card.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I think the pairing of these two in colors (2022-2024 Pretty Parakeet and Tahitian Tide) is really pretty.

I (HEART):  You already know my (heart) on this card – the cat is my favorite. What is your favorite? 😊 

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.
