Birthday Smiles

Before today’s card, I want to say that I will be away the rest of the week. The annual Stampin’ Up! Convention is in Raleigh and I will be leaving at dark thirty tomorrow morning. So no more posts this week. However I will be sharing photos on my Facebook Page if you want to check there.

Today’s card is a fun birthday for a friend who loves dogs. Can you guess which stamp set? It is a funny one, so you know it is a favorite of mine!

Stampin' Up!, One More Year, mini corrugated embossing folder, resin dots, shy shamrock, peach pie, jackie beers

STAMPS

This adorable, and funny, pup is from the One More Year stamp set. I love his funny facial expression. My friend has a mastiff who can have similar looks, so I believe she will appreciate this one. The sentiment is also from the stamp set. It actually has more sentiment beneath it. I stamped the sentiment and then cut it out and omitted the bottom portion. This is a really special looking script and I wanted it to stand alone.

EMBOSSING FOLDERS

There are two embossing folders here. First is the new Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. It is the large ribbed section. And it is paired with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder behind the pup. The two actually work very well together. I have to confess that I had the plaid on my desk as a leftover from another project. It fit in perfectly!

PAPERS

The papers for today are cardstock only. I used Shy Shamrock for the card base with Peach Pie for the embossed layers. These are part of the 2024-2026 In Colors and pair perfectly together. I like that they are both brighter colors than you might expect.

EXTRAS

There are two extras that are both the same shades as the cardstock. Around the corrugated piece I tied a knot using Shy Shamrock Ribbon. And then added bling of the subtle kind. The 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots. There are five of the dots scattered around.

Lovely Birthday

Today’s card features a mix of some of the new Online Exclusives. The background is the fun Pattern of Friendship Die. I surprised myself and tried running the Die in both directions. The results were a happy one!

Stampin' Up!, pattern of friendship, lovely garden, textures notes, antique pearls, natural tones linen thread, jackie beers

STAMPS & DIES

There are two different Die sets used on this card. They are both new Online Exclusives. Since I mentioned the background layer, I will begin with the Pattern of Friendship Bundle. This Die is the only Die in the Bundle. It makes stripes of the fun pattern. However it is easy to line up in the opposite direction to create this plaid look.

The sentiment is also from the Pattern of Friendship Bundle. I really like this fun font. At first glance it may just look like a bold print. But if you look closer the corners are all rounded. This makes for a softer, and more fun, look.

To give the sentiment layer a little bit of texture, I went back to the Textured Notes Dies. These are several rectangle Dies in various sizes for easy layering. And each one has a different detail around the edge. This is one of the smallest ones from the set.

PAPERS

These purple colors were chose for the recipient. She is a purple person. The card base is Highland Heather. There is a thin layer of Garden Green to pick up the leaves of the flowers. And the Die cut layer is Fresh Freesia.

The pretty pink flowers are from t he Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper. I fussy cut this piece to layer on the front. By placing it, and the sentiment, a bit lower it allows the Die cut background to stand out.

EXTRAS

To play off of the green leaves again, I stamped the bold sentiment in the Garden Green as well. Then to add a bit more to the sentiment layer, I chose the green from the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A single bow was the right touch.

The bling is a bit more than my normal. With more of the open space I decided to add five blings instead of my normal three. These are the Antique Pearls. I like the softer sheen of these. And they are a bit flatter than regular pearls.

Quad-fold Floral

The card today is a mix of Floral patterns from the Unbounded Beauty DSP. I have paired it with a wonderful quad fold layout. It looks very elaborate, but is easy to create. Stand by for all four photos!

Stampin' Up!, cute crochet, unbounded beauty, unbounded love, flowers of beauty, resin dots, coastal cabana, jackie beers

Above is the fully closed card. Next is the first flap open.

Next is with both front flaps open.

And finally to show there is still the regular inside of the card. So plenty of room for your thoughts and signature.

STAMPS & DIES

This fold allows for several locations to add a sweet sentiment. All of the ones I used are from the Unbounded Love Bundle. There are two sentiments and on the smaller of the front flaps, I added a die cut leaf from the Bundle. It was fun deciding on placement for the different stamps and papers.

The stamping is all done using the colors of the paper. For the sentiments I went with Petunia Pop for the pop of color. And for the foliage images I used Summer Splash. These images are from the Flowers of Beauty Stamp set.

PAPERS

These beautiful papers are all from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I love how well they all work together. The smaller bouquets on the front flap are fussy cut from one of the sheets, in addition to the solid pieces.

The gorgeous blue / green is Coastal Cabana. I liked the light and bright of this pairing. For the front flap I added texture using the Cute Crochet Embossing Folder. These sweet designs in the paper paired perfectly with the floral images of the papers.

EXTRAS

To add some “stand out” detail to the fussy cut florals on the front flap I used the Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Marker to go around the edge of the cut outs. It helps the White to blend better onto the Coastal Cabana. And for the bling, I went with the InColor Resin Dots. There are a couple of different colors of these dots passed around the card.

The Unbounded Beauty DSP, Unbounded Love Bundle, the Flowers of Beauty stamp set, and the In Color Resin Dots are all from the Unbounded Beauty Suite of Products. This is a double bundle suite and is fabulous.

MEASUREMENTS

To create this card only takes a few extra score marks and extra pieces of cardstock. The card base is 4 1/4 X 11 scored at 5 1/2. The front top left flap is 4 X 31/2 and scored at 1/2″ on the 4″ side. And the bottom right flap is 3 1/2 X 3 scored at 1/2″ on the 3 1/2′ side.

The flaps are added to the card base prior to the large piece of DSP. Fold on the score lines and then align the flap score line with the edge of the front of the card base. Space the two flaps evenly from the top and bottom of the card.

The DSP and Basic White pieces are all 1/8″ smaller than the base they are on. The largest DSP on the card base is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8. The large flap is 3 3/8 X 3 3/8 as is the Basic White on the reverse side. For the smaller flap you need 2 7/8 X 2 7/8 of DSP and Basic White.

Cardstock Information

There are a couple of important reminders and new information regarding cardstock. As you know, with each new Annual Catalog a set of In Colors retires. I know it is hard to believe but a new Annual Catalog is only two months away. Yikes, time flies!

The 2023-2025 In Colors will retire. Personally I am sad to lose Boho Blue and Wild Wheat. I use Wild Wheat as a gold pairing quite often. And Boho Blue is a beautiful country blue in my opinion. You may have your own favorites. And if so, then now is the time to order them before they are gone. Last year they were all gone qiucker than normal.

Thick Basic White Cardstock

To add an additional change, the Thick Basic White 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock will be discontinued. You can stock up now. Or think of ways to strengthen your card base. Generally the front is not an issue as we add layers there. I have found that adding a second layer of Basic White to the inside is an easy fix. And it allows me to do my inside stamping away from the card. If I make a mistake it is an easy fix. Although that is the reason I began doing this. I have been known to make errors regularly! LOL!

Regular 8 1/2 X 11 Cardtock

Stampin’ Up! has a difficult time keeping our cardstock to the quality they, and we, expect. And they tend to wait almost too long to up the prices. Sadly that time has come. With the new catalog, all 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock will contain 24 sheets, including Very Vanilla and Basic White, and have a price of $14.00.

12 X 12 Cardstock

There will be a Thick Basic White in the 12 X 12 size! It will be priced at $26.00. And the other dyed through cardstock will be priced at $22.00. These packages will contain 24 sheets. Another fun new change is the two toned cardstock. You may have noticed this in the Scrapbooking Catalog. (Which by the way will be included back into the annual Catalog) Lastly, There will now be a two toned version available in every color of the dyed through cardstock. Woohoo! This is a regular color on one side and a lighter shade of that color on the opposite side.

Champagne

My card to share today is for a dear friend who has reached a major accomplishment. For a big celebration, there should be champagne for all!

Stampin' Up!, attention shoppers, country flowers dies, wildflower birthday, sentimental park, pretty in pink, jackie beers

STAMPS & DIES

This focal layer was created from three different products. To create the celebration mood, I began with a tub of champagne. These champagne bottles are from the Attention Shoppers stamp set. Three are stamped with a third one fussy cut and layered with dimensionals to stand out. There is a matching Die, but I did not want any white border and these are simple to fussy cut.

The tub for the champagne is from the Country Flowers Die set. And the sentiment stretched across it is from the Sentimental Park stamp set. I thought fussy cutting around it would make it just a bit smaller, and more fun! And finally, the square for the champagne and bucket is cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I love the bit of stitching around the edges.

PAPERS

This beautiful paper is the Wildflower Specialty Birthday Designer Series Paper. The colors are perfect for my friend, and I adore the touches of gold. I chose Pretty In Pink from the many colors to be the card base. And went a fancier path by adding Wild Wheat, to mimic gold, for the thin layer. It really works for that when used as a thin layer! The champagne tub was cut using Smoky Slate cardstock.

EXTRAS

To continue the celebration and the gold, I used a trio of the gold dots from Low-Profile Dots. Two are placed as flower centers and the third is on the focal layer. To complete the card I ran a strand of the Pretty In Pink ribbon around the card with a small knotted length on the front.

The initial on the champagne is for my friend. I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker on the pen end to write the J. It adds a personal touch. That is something I try to do when given an empty spot like this. It is a fun way to personalize your card.

Textures

The card today is made from the fabulous new Textured Notes Suite of products. I did not use everything, but came close. If you like texture, then these products are for you.

Stampin' Up!, textured notes, mini corrugated embossing folder, woven textures designer paper, neutral matte dots, pecan pie, jackie beers

STAMP BUNDLE

The Textured Notes Bundle is one of the new Online Exclusives that dropped yesterday. This is definitely a favorite. I first was drawn to this bundle because of the Dies. They are rectangle, layering Dies with different detailing around the edges of each. You can see the detail on the cane weave DSP layer as well as the sentiment layer.

Then after getting the stamp set, I was really drawn to the different images of texture and the simple floral. That doesn’t even take into account the sweet sentiments. There are a couple of different ones that have this fun scripted font. You can also see a different detail on the sentiment layer. I added the little floral to the sentiment layer by fussy cutting it. It was not difficult or time consuming to do. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso Ink with the foliage tone on tone with Pecan Pie.

PAPERS

These different papers may be the star of the card actually. They are both part of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The images are so clear and detailed that you want to run your fingers across them to feel the texture! The cane weave is beautiful, but I also love the linen look on the sentiment layer. And it is actually the opposite side of the cane weave. All of the sheets are as vibrant as these.

The card base and layer are colors I saw in the DSP. For the card base I went with Pecan Pie and then Crumb Cake for the layer. These work very well together.

SPECIAL TOUCHES

The most stand out of the card may be the bottom layer. This cardboard looking layer is made using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. The detail and depth of the design is fabulous. Even though it is simply a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, it looks like much more.

There must be bling. Although with the more rustic scene, I felt shiny bling would be out of place. So the new Neutral Matte Dots fit the need perfectly. Actually I did not realize the Pecan Pie was even one of the dot colors. There is a trio of them scattered around.

Awesome

The card I have to share with you today highlights the gorgeous new Lovely Garden DSP. It is a quick card that is oh so pretty! And is paired with an awesome stamp set.

Stampin' Up!, memorable blooms, lovely garden, fresh freesia, circle punch, rhinestone, jackie beers

STAMPS

The stamped flowers match almost exactly to the DSP. And they are not part of a set. I was confused at first when I saw the two together! The stamps are from the fabulous Memorable Blooms Bundle. There are a couple of floral images and a few sentiments. I love this sentiment. It is a favorite for sure. The fun fonts are a winner.

To pair this stamp with the DSP was a given. This sweet flower stamp is colored using Old Olive on the leaves and Fresh Freesia to highlight the flowers. The image is stamped on Basic White to match the DSP I only highlights parts of the flowers and left the other white. It does not show as well as the paper flowers do. But I like just the highlights. Having the matching Die set is a good thing. And only having to cut one small flower was super quick and simple.

PAPERS

The star of the card is probably this DSP. It is from the new Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper. Actually the suite of products it is part of is named Lovely Gardens Suite. The new Online Exclusives are wonderful and this is one of the really nice ones. This suite will be available beginning tomorrow I believe. I really love this flower pattern. I pulled the Garden Green for the card base. And the Fresh Freesia as the thin layer. Then when trying to decide on the sentiment and flower, I opted to add a strip across the lower part. Without the circle the cut flowers faded into the paper even with the Fresh Freesia strip. So I added the circle to help it stand out.

EXTRAS

There are several Extras today. In the order of using them, I have the 2″ Circle Punch behind the Die cut flower. Then the Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet Ribbon is layered behind the circle. For a velvet type ribbon, this one is soft and easy to work with. This ribbon is actually part of the Lovely Gardens Suite of products and should be out when the new Online Exclusives drop. I believe that is tomorrow. And finally is the bling. I have added a Rhinestone to the center of the two Die cut flowers and a third next to the sentiment.

Balloon Celebration

My project to share with you is a seriously quick and a bit of the unusual for me. I have only the sentiment as the stamping on the front of the card.

Stampin' Up!, Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper, Sentimental Park, party dots, soft sea foam, pretty in pink, jackie beers

PAPERS

The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper is the reason for so little actual stamping. Not only is the striped DSP from that pack, but so is the colorful balloon bundle. There are actually two options for this DSP. One is only the DSP and the other is the DSP plus the sticker sheet. This is from the sticker sheet. I normally prefer to do my stamping instead of precut / colored images. However the sticker sheet in this pack of paper is over the top in terms of color and beauty. In fact the entire pack of paper is probably the prettiest I can remember in a while.

This background sheet of DSP, along with the balloons could be for a birthday, baby shower, or any celebration. I love the soft colors even though I am a Brights person normally. For this card I paired the stripes with the Soft Sea Foam card base and then added the sentiment on a strip of Pretty In Pink.

STAMPS

The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park stamp set. With the smaller size of the fonts here I think it is a good one for inside and front sentiments. To draw a little more attention to the sentiment I flagged the ends with my Paper Snips. I actually raised it with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed it over the knot in the strings of the balloons.

EXTRAS

To compliment all of the soft colors already existing on the card I kept the bling soft as well. These are from the Party Dots embellishments. They actually are part of the suite of products this DSP is included in. There are three different colors of dots with two different sizes of each. I did one of each color in the larger size.

Big Hug

Last Reminder…..Today is the final day of Sale-A-Bration and all that goes with it. This means the awesome Free products and the great Starter Kit special go away tonight.

I have a simple and quick Friday card for you. This one is giving someone a Big Hug with a card. How sweet is that! Plus it is a one layer card, almost anyway.

Stampin' Up!, hugs for love bundle, to the point label punch, natural botanicals, party dots, lost lagoon soft cording, pool party, lost lagoon, summer splash, jackie beers

STAMPS

There are two different stamp sets used today. First is the Natural Botanicals. This is a photopolymer stamp set. And these are a set of two sided stamps. What that means is they are designed to be stamped not only on the details side, but also the reverse, smooth side. You can see this on my card. The softer background is the reverse, or solid, side of the stamp. I stamped these using Pool Party Ink that is stamped off for a softer look.

The detailed stampings are from the same stamp set. This stamp is using the detailed side of the stamp and is colored with Lost Lagoon Ink. I really love the mix of the shadow and then the detailed leaves. Another look is to use both sides of the same stamp and layer on top or as I did. There are 6 images in this set so lots of possibilities. Also this set was added to the February portion of SAB. So with a qualifying order, you can get this set FREE. Be sure and choose it from the list of SAB items at checkout. And do not use the product number I have listed in my Supply List at the bottom of the post. There is a separate number for the Free one.

The PUNCH is part of the second stamp set. This is the Hugs For Love Bundle. You all know how much I love punches! I believe this one is special because of the shape. We do not have a punch, or even Dies really that have the angles of this punch shape. And it can be used with the straight sides either top/bottom or as I did on the sides. It is versatile and fairly large. The punch is part of the bundle but has it’s own name. It is the To The Point Label Punch. Additionally, there is a second stamp set in the Mini Catalog that can pair with the punch. It is the Bright Borders stamp set. Please check it out.

PAPERS

There are no extra designer papers on this card. It happens but not very often. I made my own background with the botanical stamps and kept it simple after that. The card base is Pool Party carrdstock with the layer of Lost Lagoon. As I mentioned at the top, it is a quick and easy one today.

EXTRAS

The punch can count as an extra even though it is part of the bundle. Being new gives it some leeway. But the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording is a fabulous extra! It thicker than bakers twine, but very soft. I did a pretend bow behind the punched layer. That is on dimensionals and the cording did not create a hump behind. So that should give you an idea of thickness. For the bling, I went with a soft bling. The similar tones of everything on the card called for more of the same. So the Party Dots were a go to choice. These are in soft colors and the one I chose pairs in great.

Arched Birthday

There are only two days left in Sale-A-Bration. Today and tomorrow and it will be over for this year. My project today has two of the SAB items included. There is a peek at an upcoming item paired with my new favorite layering Dies. Woohoo!!

Stampin' Up!, arched wishes, everyday arches, toadstool gardens, purple sequins, granny apple green, melon mambo, jackie beers

There is an inside view as well. I am bad about creating cards and leaving the inside blank. But this one had the perfect pairing included in the stamp set.

STAMPS

This extremely fun stamp set is called Arched Wishes. It pairs with the Everyday Arches stamp set and Bundle. But this one is an add on. Right now it is a preorder for demonstrators. However it goes live the beginning of March in the OnlineExclusives. I have mentioned all of the fabulous stamps and bundles that are new this coming month! Please check them out.

The stamps used on this project are all included in the Arched Wishes stamp set. You know I love one set cards and this one is awesome. There are no matching Dies, so the cupcake is fussy cut. Most of it is straight lines, so it is really easy to do. It is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. The candle is Pumpkin Pie with the flame highlighted with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

The inside sentiment and balloon are also in the set. I added the sprinkle looking details with Granny Apple Green after coloring the balloon with Melon Mambo again. The simple script of the Happy Birthday is a good one. I will be using that stamp often in my birthday cards.

DIES

The arched shape front layer is from my new favorite layering Dies set Everyday Arches. I forgot to double check, but it may be the largest of the Dies. I like these Dies for their versatility. The sizes are great. This could be made into a card by not cutting the top section and there are various layering possibilities. My brain immediately saw a window or door. When I travel to Europe I take a ton of photos of their doors. They are large and ornate or simply painted a bright color. This shape reminds me of that.

PAPERS

The bright colors included on the card are pulled from the DSP you see from behind the arch. It is hidden more than I like, but still the brightness pops out. This sheet is from the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper that is a SAB choice. The Granny Apple Green card base is one of the included colors as is Melon Mambo. But the Melon Mambo with the DSP seemed to blend to much. I wanted Pop!

EXTRAS

This card is all about bright and popping out. So to complete that look I used the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins that are also a SAB choice. They have quite a lot of shine to them. I chose to scatter more than my normal one or three. The white space could take it and the happy cupcake seemed to like the extra bling.
