Birthday Card Featuring Sentiment from Biggest Wish Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends. Check out this birthday card…this is one of my favorite techniques for a quick background with pizzazz. The sentiment is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. It is a great go-to sentiment set, but it is on the retiring list. Be sure to check out the Last Chance Sale to pick up your favorites before they are gone.

This is a landscape A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" and burnish the top side for a crisp edge. The background is created with half inch strips in rainbow colors from my scrap pile. Line up the strips at an angle on a mat of any color, cut  5” x 4”, and adhere using liquid glue so that you can easily move around the strips. Once the mat is totally covered, trim the edges down to 5” x 4”.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I sure hope this makes sense because it is super easy and a fun way to use up those scraps.

I (HEART):  After completing the mat, just have fun with the sentiment embellishment. Pull out all your birthday-themed stamp sets and mix and match. 😊

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.

March Simple Stamping Challenge Features Designer Series Paper. Your Choice!

Hello my crafty friends. The March #SimpleStamping challenge includes stamps, ink and paper AND Designer Series Paper (“DSP”). My card design showcases the super sweet stamp set, Sweet Songbirds, and my choice for the DSP is from the 2023-25 In Color Pack. What have you been crafting lately?

This is a landscape A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" and burnish the top side for a crisp edge. If you first place the sentiment in the top left corner, you can arrange the birds and leaves/tree branches in the upper half of the card front. The DSP mat measures 1 1/2" x 5 1/2".

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  The blue birds are so cute in the Boho Blue from the 2023-25 In Color Collection and are matchy, matchy with the DSP.

I (HEART):  The turned up bottom right corner of the DSP showcasing several stamped flowers in Pumpkin Pie. 😊

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? 😊

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Adorable Owls Stamp Set - SAB23

Hello my crafty friends!! The simple stamping challenge for February is stamps, ink and paper. Today’s card features the free Adorable Owls Stamp Set – free with purchase during Sale-A-Bration. The background images of the tree branches and rows of flowers are from the Garden Birdhouse stamp set. Lots of opportunities for coloring here.

The card base is a basic style (full sheet of 8 ½" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), then fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The first layer measures 4” x 5 1/4" for the mat, and the top layer measures 3 3/4" x 5” for stamping. I think you may be able to see that the flying owl was fussy cut and popped up. The cloud in the upper right corner is the cloud punch, but would be easy enough to fussy cut in a shape to fit your sentiment.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  If you attended my January workshop, you were able to swap out the dimensionals to pop up the flying owl with a plastic spring to create a fun wobbly project!

I (HEART):  Coloring these super cute owls. I think I like the bow tie guy the best. Which one is your favorite? 😊

Quick and Easy Cards Featuring Country Bouquet Punch and Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper

Hello my crafty friends!! This past weekend was my first workshop of 2023 and, of course, the theme was Valentine’s Day so everyone is prepared for February 14. We had a blast getting together again after a very, very long break. The new January-April Mini Catalog has a beautiful group of product, Country Floral Lane Suite Collection, for your special someone -- you really must check it out. For today’s card, I chose the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and coordinating County Bouquet Punch. Here’s a collage of cards I created; same simple design concept only changing up the sentiment and the color scheme.

The card base is a basic style (full sheet of 8 ½" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), then fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The first layer measures 4” x 5 1/4", then stagger coordinating pieces measuring 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 3” x 4”. Arrange the punched elements around a 1/2" strip for the sentiment. Yours is beautiful too, I am sure.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Love the coordination of this suite of products!

I (HEART):  The cute shape of these hearts. 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.

Quick and Easy Card featuring Love For You Stamp Set for Valentine’s Day

Hello my crafty friends!! I could not resist this beautiful sentiment stamp set, Love For You, in the new mini catalog. The coordinating dies provide an assist for a wide variety of phrases.

The card base is Basic White Cardstock (full sheet of 8 ½" x 11”, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), then fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The background layer is Granny Apple Green, cut 4” x 5 1/4". The top panel is 3 3/4" square, then the four (4) square pieces, cut 1 3/4" square, are evenly spaced in a window-pane format. The squares are cut from the coordinating (and beautiful) Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink, die cut and arranged across the panel.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  This may look somewhat complicated, but trust me it is really quite simple.

I (HEART):  The super, super cute die cut heart in Granny Apple Green. What is your favorite? 😊

Holiday Card 2022 Wrap Up

Hello my crafty friends!! It was truly crunch time for finishing up my holiday cards this year. Finished in the ‘Nick’ of time!! I took a break from blogging over the holidays so I wanted to share a couple of my favorites.

You may remember that I chose the Cottage Wreaths stamp set/bundle for my holiday cards. After much debate, I finally settled on traditional red and green colors. For bling, I created the bows from the Red and White Glitter Paper and the holly from the Gold Holly Leaves and red rhinestones.

This fun and whimsy card features one of the gnomes from the retired Kindest Gnomes stamp set. The candy cane is from the November Paper Pumpkin Kit, From the North Pole, and the base sentiment is from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Ho Ho Ho.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  To speed up the card-making process, I stamped and die cut or punched the elements and created small stacks for putting the cards together in a piece work fashion. The only coloring was the gnomes - after I stamped and die cut them, I colored them using SU Blends while watching TV!!

I (HEART):  Although a bit of a ‘project,’ I love the gnomes. I hope you do not miss out on the gnomes. 😊 

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.

November Paper Pumpkin Alternate Holiday Card - From The North Pole

 Hello my crafty friends!! Time to start working on those holiday cards if you have not started yet. Today’s card is quick and simple featuring the November Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set, From the North Pole. For inspiration, I chose the Freshly Made Card Sketch 557 from October 14.

The card base is in color Sweet Sorbet Cardstock (full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The background layer is a piece of the Sweet Christmas Designer Series Paper, 4" x 4 1/4". The embellishment build is the deer stamp in a circle, die cut using the Layering Circles Dies, layered on a larger scallop circle in Garden Green.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  At this point, it is crunch time and using the card sketch, plus keeping it simple, will allow you to speed through your holiday card list. Happy Stampin’!!

I (HEART):  The tiny candy cane print from the Sweet Christmas DSP. Super cute holiday paper. 😊

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!!

Hello my crafty friends! Hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving! Things are going to get really busy now. Today’s share is this quick and easy birthday card using the holiday stamp set, Spruced Up.

The card base is Basic White Cardstock (full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, top fold A2 card. The first layer is Garden Green Cardstock, 3 3/4” x 5", and the top layer is a piece of the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper, 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".

Quick and Easy Card for OnStage Swaps

Hello my crafty friends! So excited to attend OnStage in Jacksonville this past weekend. My swap card was this quick and easy, clean and simple holiday card featuring the Spruced Up Stamp Set.

The card base is Basic White Cardstock (full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11", cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"), fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The next layer is Basic White Cardstock 4” x 5 1/4", scored 4 times in 1/8” increments along the left edge. The embellishment build uses the Stitched Rectangles (#2, #3).

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Instead of making bows out of ribbon for all my swaps, I opted to use the die for the bow in the Cottage Wreaths using the Real Red 6x6 Glimmer Paper.

I (HEART):  This super cute tree stamp is perfect. 😊 

Thank you all for supporting me over the last 14 years (can you believe that!). I had such an amazing time on Saturday at OnStage. I really wish you all could have joined me. Next year is the 35th year of Stampin’ Up! – I think you should become a demonstrator soon so that you can participate in all the fun things planned to celebrate.

Quick and Easy Halloween Card

Hello my crafty friends! Eek!! This Halloween card features an element from the September Paper Pumpkin, Spooky Treats, and includes some leftover pieces from last year’s Cute Halloween DSP.

The card base is Highland Heather Cardstock (full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11, cut in half lengthwise at 4 1/4," scored at 5 1/2"), fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, top fold A2 card. Behind the spiderweb element from the Paper Pumpkin kit is a solid piece of Pumpkin Pink Cardstock. The spider in the circle is hanging to the web using a small piece of the current Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  It appears that I am stuck in this 3-layer card design. Here’s hoping I can find another card design that I love just as much for my holiday cards!!

I (HEART):  Besides the spiderweb element from the Paper Pumpkin kit, I am loving this tiny spider stamp! 🕷🕷🕷 😊

Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! The Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set (AC p. 34) makes an awesome birthday card! The card features the large sunflower in non-traditional colors and the ink is applied using the Blending Brushes.

The card base is Poppy Parade (full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11, cut in half at 5 1/2," scored at 4 1/4"), fold and burnish the edge for a crisp, side fold A2 card. The ink color for the sunflower is also Poppy Parade. The layers are different pieces of cardstock and printed paper featuring Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo. Use an embossing folder on the plain cardstock and any embossing folder will do because not much of it will show if it is the back layer.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  The brass butterflies and the black gingham ribbon really make this card.

I (HEART):  I have always loved the look of sentiments in white embossing powder on black cardstock. 😊
