Sending Love

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope you have shared at least one of your hand made card filled with love. I think all of our hand made cards are filled with love personally. But today is a special one. I looked for a set that maybe would not scream Valentine’s Day. And I believe I found it for today’s card.

Stampin' Up!, sending love, toadstool garden, shimmer gems, granny apple green, highland heather, jackie beers

STAMPS

The stamp set I found to spread love is the Sending Love stamp set. I only used the stamps with no Dies. And all of the stamps used are from this one set. The mail box is the main aspect and is not exactly colored traditionally! All of the coloring is done using Stampin’ Blends. I used Smoky Slate for the post but topped it with Highland Heather. And added Granny Apple Green for the mail box itself. I know this would not fly in most communities, but it can work in this card’s world.

To add the sentiment was a question for me. I knew I would have to cut it as this is one long sentiment. It really would not look proper being larger than the focal panel. There was this scrap of Peach Pie on my desk and the answer presented itself. I stamped on the Peach Pie and then simply cut the sentiment in half. This brought out yet another color of the DSP in a fun way. Plus pairs perfectly with the mail box theme.

PAPERS

These sheets of DSP are both from the Toadstool Garden Designer Series Paper. This is a Free 6X6 paper pack in Sale-A-Bration. With a qualifying order this is one of the products you can choose. SAB goes through the end of the month so you still have time to get some of the freebies!

I pulled all of the colors from the toadstool sheet of DSP. The Peach Pie was a surprise addition but I love how it helps those mushrooms to pop. The card base is Granny Apple Green. That striped sheet is a mix of Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Those are the colors I tried to add in to the mailbox panel.

EXTRAS

The trio of shimmer gems are all from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I used different shades of the pink/purple and then a Peach Pie one as well. This is a more whimsical card where it does not require elegant bling!

LAYERS

The card base measures 4 1/4 X 11 and is scored at 5 1/2. The two DSP strips are 2 1/2 X 5 1/8 for the left side and 2 X 5 for the right side. For the focal layer there is a thin layer of Granny Apple that measures 2 3/4 X 4 3/8 with the Basic White layer being 2 3/8 X 4 1/4.

Floral Birthday

I am so behind on making birthday cards this month. That being said I am taking a break from Valentine today and sharing one of the birthday cards. It is a mix of gorgeous DSP patterns from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. Why use just one sheet when they all layer so well!

Stampin' Up!, floral delight, unbounded love, mixed labels dies, pool party, jackie beers

PAPERS

These beautiful sheets of paper are from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. I chose the floral sheet first as the star of the card. Then I thought to look for a green that would layer instead of using card stock. This linen look sheet was perfect! Next for a sentiment strip I found the checked yellow piece. It was actually a scrap from a previous card. I always save my scraps for just this purpose.

The card base is Pool Party cardstock. It is shown in the floral layer as little highlights. To add a bit more of the Pool Party I used a scrap to stamp the Happy Birthday. It seems to tie the card together. For one last touch of cardstock I used a scrap of Old Olive to die cut the small leaf outline. It helps tie in with the floral leaves of the DSP.

STAMPS

The only stamping on this card front is the sentiment. The papers are so great that there was no need. And this makes it a pretty quick and easy card to make. This elegant font of Happy Birthday is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. It can stand alone as it is bold enough with the beautiful font to gain attention.

EXTRAS

There are two Die cut pieces for this card that count as extras. First is the little leaf next to the sentiment . It and the sentiment shape are from the Mixed Labels Die set. The sentiment layer is a great size plus the detailed edging really takes it up a notch. And the final extra is the bling. I restrained myself and with only one piece of bling. A single Pearl on the sentiment layer seemed plenty with all of the floral pattern.

LAYER MEASUREMENTS

The card base is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. None of the DSP pieces are directional, but if they were they should be cut landscape. The green pattern is cut 5 X 3 3/4 with the floral cut to 4 1/4 X 3. For the strip of checked DSP it measures 4 X 3/4 and then is angle cut on each end.

I Adore You

I have mixed two of the heart stamp sets that are current with Stampin’ Up!. The Adoring Hearts stamp set and the Hearts of Elegance Dies. Add some gorgeous DSP and you have a lovely card.

Stampin' Up!, adoring hearts, hearts of elegance, marbled  elegance, gold twisted twine, regal foiled dots, pretty in pink, jackie beers

STAMPS

The focal heart is made from the two products mentioned at the beginning. The sweet sentiment and the flowers are from the Adoring Hearts stamp set. I had the idea of the paper and heart but what to be the focal part was a problem. As soon as I looked through the stamps in the stamp set I found exactly what would fit.

These are stamped after the heart is cut. That makes placement very easy. The flowers are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored using Old Olive and Pretty In Pink Stampin’ Blends.

DIES

The heart die cut is from the Hearts of Elegance Die set. Is it a part of the bundle with the DSP and the Gold Twine. There are two large hearts, a solid and an outline. Then there are a series of layering dies. This is the second largest of those.

PAPERS

To help the marbled sheet of DSP stand out I used a second sheet from the pack. These are both from t he Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. I was not sure in the beginning how well they would work together. After layering the White I was sure I had chosen correctly to help everything stand out.

The card base is Pretty In Pink which is the lightest color in the marbled DSP. The layers measure 4 X 5 1/4, 3 7/8 X 5 1/8, then 2 3/4 X 4 and 2 5/8 X 3 7/8. The heart was from a scrap of Basic White.

EXTRAS

There are two extras to complete this card. I wanted to carry on with the gold. So I chose the Gold Twisted Twine. It is wrapped around the marbled layer three times. I then added a triple strand bow to the front. I tucked the heart behind the twine thinking it looked better that way.

The bling is a subtle one. I went with a single bling for a change. This is the Regal Foiled Adhesive Dots. There are four colors and I chose the pinkish one. (That is a technical term:)

Wildflower Bouquet

I have another first on today’s card. Not a super first, but a step for myself. A few weeks ago I shared a card using one of the Kits. It was the Watercolor one. That was the first time I had used a kit project. (You can see that post HERE) And today I have used die cut / punch outs from one of the DSP. It is similar to what the kits contain. To say I was impressed with the paper and the colors is an understatement. I was amazed and in love. So much that it is the star of today’s card.

Stampin' Up!, wildflower birthday, distressed tile embossing, gold texture dots, gold twisted thread, sentimental park, blueberry bushel, basic white, jackie beers

PAPERS

The amazing DSP pack this gorgeous bouquet comes from is the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. There are two sheets of punch outs just as there are two sheets of each pattern paper. All of these punch outs are as pretty as this bouquet. I hope you see why it is the star of the card. Now I am ready to give all of the kits another look.

This is also the second time in recent days that I have used Blueberry Bushel for the card base. This bright color pops on it’s own. And it really pulls the bits of blue from the bouquet. The blue is the first thing I notice now.

STAMPS

The bouquet really is impressive and fills the front of the card. So there was not a lot of need, or room, for a sentiment layer. However I wanted to add one. So I went with this simple sentiment using two different stamps from the Sentimental Park stamp set. Because they are photopolymer, it was so easy to stamp the bottom sentiment and then add the top centered above it. To give the Basic White strip a touch of extra, I flagged each end with my paper snips.

EXTRAS

This bouquet is beautiful but it still needed something behind it. To add some additional texture I went with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. I think it adds just the right background without taking away from the bouquet.

To add bling to match the gold from the bouquet, I added a trio of the Gold Textured Adhesive Dots along with a bow from the Gold Twisted Thread. This thread is easy to work with and a great way to add some shine to a card.

Beautiful Celebration

I am sharing a card made with a couple of the new additions to the Sale-A-Bration options. The new additions are all wonderful products and some are from current catalogs. That is not a regular occurrence. My card idea showcases the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and the Happy Labels Punch.

Stampin' Up!, beautiful butterflies, happy label punch, white and silver ribbon, adhesive sparkle gems, jackie beers

STAMP BUNDLE

The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle is a winner in my book. It includes the awesome stamp set with gorgeous butterflies. (The smallest is shown lighting on my banner) Plus a matching Die set, and a Hybrid Embossing Folder. I have used the embossing folder as my layer here. You can see the amazing details.

This background needed a bold sentiment as I wasn’t really adding a focal layer of the normal kind. The sentiment and the butterfly are from the stamp set. The butterfly is fussy cut as there is not a matching Die for it. But it is a quick one to cut out.

The stamp set is the only part of the bundle that has been added to the Sale-A-Bration options. If you choose this, with a qualifying order, remember to use the product number on the flyer or on your computer in the options. Do not use the catalog product number.

PAPERS

This idea of a simple but bold card first started with what color to use. I chose Granny Apple Green as the card base and Lemon Lolly for the layer. With some colors, the Lemon Lolly seems very light and does not really stand out. I was very pleased that it does stand out with the Granny Apple Green. To make a different type layer for the sentiment, I also used more of the Granny Apple Green. Color wise this is a simple card with only a couple of colors and no pattern papers.

EXTRAS

The first Extra is the second of the new Sale-A-Bration Options. It is the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. I cut the two layers for the sentiment and then punched the ends of both using the larger of the ticket look. The White is 3 3/4 X 3/4 and the Granny Apple Green is 4 X 1, or roughly those dimensions before punching.

To add sparkle and bling I went with two different options, but both are silver. The first is the ribbon. It is the White and Silver Ribbon. I love the shine it brings to the card. And then to add more silver shine, I opted to use the adhesive backed Sparkle Gems. These have several base colors and I used the silver one. You should see three of them scattered around.

Love Fries

The Friendly Seagulls stamp set from Sale-A-Bration is one that makes me smile every time I look at it. I am a huge french fry fan and apparently so are these guys. This card is one that only takes a couple of products to create. And when you add a Free stamp set, it is definitely a winner!

Stampin' Up!, friendly seagulls, lovely and sweet, antique pearls, stamping block, jackie beers

STAMPS

There is one additional stamp set used in addition to Friendly Seagulls. It is the texture around the edges of the Crumb Cake card base. This stamp is from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set. I used tone on tone to add this texture.

The Friendly Seagull is stamped on a scrap Basic White and then fussy cut. He is colored with Stampin’ Blends. The french fry box is as well. I love the flock of birds in the top left as an addition for distance. And stamping them off of the “scene” area is something I like to do. I have a painting that has part of the picture painted on the matting. This made me think of that.

The sentiment is fun and bold. So it needed to stand alone. I stamped the two parts and then did straight cuts, no fussy cutting, to keep it simple. The way they are placed makes it seem as if the seagull is shouting out his love of fries. Except for having his mouth full of them. 🙂

PAPERS

This is one of the simplest cards in regard to papers. There are only two. The Crumb Cake card base and then the Basic white for everything else. I used scraps for the seagull, fries, and sentiments. Since I stamp almost every day, I have a ton of scraps from cutting paper. I try to keep them under control but White is the one that can quickly become overloaded!

EXTRAS

The special part of the card is the Pool Party square. This is such a fun and easy technique. I inked the Clear Block D with Pool Party ink, stamped off, and then stamped onto my square of Basic White. And that is my ocean. To add some texture, and bling, I added a trio of the Antique Pearls to the bottom. The seagull is popped up with dimensionals and the fries are glued down. So the pearls are in between the two in terms of height.

Best Person

I have matched the Citrus Blooms set with the fun Sale-A-Bration Fruit Salad DSP. They are perfect pairing for a sweet card.

Speaking of SAB, have you seen the new February additions? Oh My!!! There are several from Current catalogs in the list. Just remember that there are different product numbers on the SAB sheet for these products. If you use the catalog number they will show up as a price and not Free. Here is the flyer.

Now here is the focus of today’s post.

Stampin' Up!, citrus blooms, fruit salad, labeled with love, gold texture dots, jackie beers

STAMPS & DIES

The Citrus Blooms stamp set from the Annual Catalog seemed a great pairing to go with these fun papers. Plus I just love the fruit images. And I love to color. This orange is colored with Stampin’ Blends to look somewhat like an orange.

Those little stars, I believe they are supposed to be little flowers, are from the matching Die set. I think they make a great addition of color and texture for the card. And the sentiment is from the set as well. I think it is an especially nice sentiment for a friend or as a Thank You.

PAPERS

These two different DSP pieces are from the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper pack from Sale-A-Bration. The color are what made me look for a piece of fruit to pair with them. That and the Fruit Salad name of course! I paired Lemon Lime Twist for the card base with Basic White between the DSP layers. The addition of the Daffodil Delight stars ties everything together easily.

EXTRAS

There are actually a few Extras today. First is the punch for the sentiment. This is the Labeled With Love Punch. It is a great size and I really like the touches on the ends for a little more detail. The stars probably count as some extra. But I still had to add some bling. So there are a scattering of Gold Textured Adhesive Dots to add some shine.

MEASUREMENTS

To give you info on the layers, I have the measurements for you. The card base is 4 1/4 X 11, folded at 5 1/2. The first White layer is 4 X 5 1/4. And the yellow DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. The second White is 3 1/4 X 4 1/2 with the green at 3 1/8 X 4 3/8. You all know how much I love layers!!

Bookfold Forest

I have a simple and sweet card for you today. The Book fold is a Fun Fold that is really easy to make. It is paired with a quick stamped image for a simply sweet card. I added a touch of humor in the sentiment as the final touch.

Stampin' Up!, delicate forest, saying hey, mixed labels dies, everyday skies, pearls, pretty in pink, jackie beers

Here is the open view

STAMPS

There are two stamp sets on this card. The tree image is from the Delicate Forest stamp set. I love the simpleness of the tree. This image has been used previously on a sympathy card. I thought the more shadow look of the tree was perfect. And I was headed that way today. But decided that it really did not need to be a sympathy. It works for any type card. And I love stamping on the DSP. The Pebbled Path Ink does lend it to a shadow look though. I also used the small tree stamp to adorn the inside of the card. You can see that in the second photo. This type card can get by without an inside sentiment I think.

The fun sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. This may be one that you have overlooked in the Annual Catalog. It includes the basic sentiments that we all want like Happy Birthday, but also some really fun ones like today’s. I believe this is a great way to tell someone you miss them.

PAPERS

These two DSP sheets are both from the Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper. This is a 6X6 pack of papers that have fabulous sky images on one side and then complimentary patterns on the opposite. Both of these are the reverse side of papers. I paired them with Pretty In Pink for the card base. This paper pack is an Online Exclusive.

The Bookfold is a simple card base. The Pretty In Pink is 11 X 4 1/4. Score it at 4 1/4 and then 5 1/2. Fold on both score lines and then add adhesive between the two. This makes the “spine” of the book. Easy Peasy!

EXTRAS

The sentiment layer is a big extra. These layering Dies are from the Mixed Labels Dies that are a Bundle in the Online Exclusives. I love the different little details around the edges. Another simple Extra is the White Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. A little knot and it is a nice touch added to the spine. For an added bonus, this ribbon is on the Last Chance List at almost half price. And to compliment more of the White, I added a scattering of Pearls around the front layer.

Crabby Friends

I have had the Ocean Friends Bundle for a month and this is the first time I have inked it up. That is shocking! Now I see a lot more crabs in my future. And choosing the colors is such a fun task to make the crab your own.

Stampin' Up!, Ocean Friends, Friends of the ocean, soft waves, antique pearls, jackie beers

I apologize for the darkness. not sure what is going on with my photography.

STAMPS & DIES

The Ocean Friends stamp set is such a cute set. The crab and lobster are a perfect mix of real and fun. Plus the sentiments are sweet like this Hello, Friend. The seaweed behind the crab is part of the stamps. It did not have a matching Die but was not difficult to fussy cut. The crab did have a Die and was easy to cut.

There are different thoughts regarding two step stamping. I go back and forth with which should be stamped first the solid or the outline. For me on the crab it was easier to line things up with stamping the outline first. I used Pumpkin Pie for the outline. Then I was able to line up the solid with the top near the eyes and the bottom legs. Peach Pie was used for the solid shape. But everyone has their own technique.

PAPERS

The adorable starfish paper is one of the amazing sheets from the pack of Friends of The Ocean Designer Series Paper. Those colors are a mix of exactly my colors. I wanted to use more of it, but also wanted the embossing folder. The compromise of this strip surprised me at how well it stands out. I paired it with bright colors that come from the paper. Again the dark photography doesn’t do it justice. The card base is Lemon Lime Twist with the embossed layer being Summer Splash.

The measurements are 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 for the card base. With the layer being 5 X 3 3/4. And the strip of DSP is 4 3/4 2. I liked giving the waves some show off space but still have enough of the starfish paper showing.

EXTRAS

The main of the extras is an embossing folder that is part of the ocean Suite. It is the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. The swirls are amazing, and perfect for the images. Of course the bling matches well also. The Antique Pearls are scattered around the waves for some shine there.

Bookmark Card

I have a Bookmark Card using the new For The Books Stamp set as the highlight. The basics are pretty simple and offer so many ways to decorate. This is a case from Connie Stewart and is fairly quick to make.

Stampin' Up!, for the books, forever plaid, timeless plaid, labeled with love, heartfelt hexagon punch, jackie beers
Stampin’ Up!, For The Books, Jackie Beers

STAMPS

There are actually two different stamp sets used on today’s card. First is the new For The Books set. These stacked books on the front, along with the adorable glasses, are from the stamp set. I also added additional books on the inside as well as a fun sentiment from the set. Plus the bookmark itself has a funny sentiment that is perfectly fitting.

The front sentiment is from the Labeled With Love stamp set. This set has some “go to” stamps for me. The front one is one of those, as is the inside Happy Birthday. It is small and a nice mix of fonts. Here are the other two views of this card.

The addition of the strip of the DSP helps give the books a shelf to sit on. And I love that fun 5 star rating!

The DSP is added to all aspects of the card, including the bookmark. And this is another of the fun sentiments from the For The Books stamp set.

PAPERS

This card base was pulled from the DSP of course. The base is Basic Beige, which is a fabulous Neutral to have on hand. But the star is this Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper. Sadly it is still out of stock, but supposed to be back before long. I added a layer of Boho Blue cardstock behind the front DSP and to back the books on the front.

EXTRAS

There are several Extras today. First is the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder on the front bookmark holder. I felt this was appropriate to pair with the DSP. Next is the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for the stack of books. I also punched from Boho Blue and cut that piece in half to act as a layer behind the White. It needed a bit of color to stand out some.

To finish off the bookmark, I used one of the Postage Stamp Dies to cut the bookmark sentiment. And added the Beige and Wild Wheat Ribbon as the ribbon pull. Finally, because there really were a lot of extras, the bling is a trio of the 2024-2026 Shimmer Gems.
