My card I have to share today is made from the same template as yesterday. I wanted to show you how different the same base can appear. Having a simple Go To template can be a lifesaver when we need a quick card. Quick does not mean it is not a wonderful card.
Encircled With Love stamp set
The sweet sentiment I chose for this card is one that I love. It is simple, sweet, and says you care about the recipient. To go along with my Valentine idea card, I stamped using Real Red Ink. The hearts in the paper are Real Red, Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath. This stamp set, Encircled With Love, is in the Annual Catalog in the DVD style case. Now Stampin’ Up! has issued it in the new style cases as well. If you choose the new style, be aware that it is a different product number. The new style case number is 169090.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
These strips are the same as yesterday’s card and measure 1 X 5. This time I placed the card in landscape layout and used two different patterns from this fun DSP. To center the strips I used my grid paper to place the center one and then came in from each side. I thought I would make a simpler one and leave off the layer behind the strips.
Extras
To create the focal layer I used the 1 3/4′ and 2″ Circle Punches. The 2″ is Strawberry Slush with the stamped image cut with the 1 3/4″. I love circles for a clean and simple card. To add a bit more texture I also used the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon as I did yesterday. Instead of a small neat bow I went with a large and looser bow behind the sentiment layer. And for my bling Rhinestones were called in. The sentiment has three little star shapes. So a trio of rhinestones, one on each star, seemed the perfect fit.

I am a person who loves Hugs. When the Endless Love Bundle arrived, I knew I would be using the Hugs & Kisses stamp quite often. Today I have used it in conjunction with a sketch challenge my upline Brian King did for our Team meeting. It is a simple one that can be used over and over.
The Sketch
The three vertical stripes with two angled rectangles was the original sketch from Brian. Each strip is 1 X 5. I layered my strips on a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock. Then added it to the Flirty Flamingo base. All of my color choices are from the DSP. However I went with hearts in place of the rectangles. That is what makes this sketch so versatile. A simple change and it looks totally different.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
The Made With Love DSP is so fun. It has the prerequisite of hearts in several different patterns. But they are not mushy or child like. I do love the different shades of red and pink. This piece has Real Red and Bubble Bath in the hearts.
Focal Layers
In place of the rectangles Brian shared on his card, I used two die cut hearts. Then I added the fabulously detailed arrow. It is almost like a texture and bling mixed together. I fell in love with it as soon as it was cut.
The sentiment is of course the one I love. It and the dies are from the Endless Love Bundle. And the little stamped hearts are from the set as well. They offered a softer background than the plain white would have been.
Finishes
There is bling and more texture to tie all of my pieces together. I added a bow using the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon. Attaching it to the arrow made the arrow even more bold. For bling I used a single large size of the Sparkle Dot Essentials. This is a multi color and varying sizes of almost flat bling. That is the perfect kind!

I have a quick and simple card to share with you but also an amazing discovery as well. Actually I did not make the discovery and I am not really sure who did. However, it is worth sharing by everyone. And the best part is that it is a simple 3D Embossing Folder and cardstock. The trick is to use the Two-Toned cardstock. This cardstock arrived this past year and has not gotten a lot of play time from me. Well, that is about to change!
Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder
First off this folder is amazing! I love the vines and then the softer look of stone in the background. However the white showing through in the paper is the star of the show. The new Two-Tone Cardstock is a lighter shade of the same color on one side with the darker on the other. The main difference to regular cardstock is that it has a white center. So by embossing with the 3D folder, the white shows through. It is as if you sanded off some of the color. What an amazing look and simply by dry embossing the cardstock!
Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper
The pretty floral print center of this card is cut from the DSP. There are two sheets in the Lovely Blossoms DSP that can be cut apart and used as card fronts or layers. I chose to fussy cut the white away and leave only the flowers on the Cloud Clover background.
Beautifully Celebrated Dies
To create the rest of the focal layer background, I wanted a pretty layer. I found the layering dies included in the Beautifully Celebrated Die set to fit perfectly. There are several of this style that layer. This one is the 3rd from largest. My fussy cut flower piece fit perfectly. I opted for a simple white layer, even though I had just cut away the white the flowers were printed on. Oh well!
Sweet Blooms stamp set
This wonderful sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms set. I love the phrases Stampin’ Up! has produced lately that are similar to this. My idea of a good card is one that makes someone smile. And the font of this one is just fabulous in my book. I have been on a fussy cutting binge lately and this was another fussy cutting victim. Since the flowers are sort of small, I did not want the sentiment to cover them overly much.
Extras
There is only Bling as an extra today. This trio are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. These are very shimmery! So just what the card ordered. I chose the Secret Sea dots to highlight the flower centers as well as the sentiment. OOPS!! As I was adding the supply list for this card, I saw these dots are no longer available. I am so sorry!

I have a fun card to share with you today. My stamp club ladies sort of roll their eyes when I bring out a project with a whimsical animal. I am definitely a sucker for the Stampin’ Up! animal images. The one today is super cute, and very fluffyf!
Wooly Friends Punch Bundle
The Wooly Friends “ewe” is just adorable. The fact it is a punch bundle seals the deal for me. I always love the punches. She is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and punched out. I added some makeup to her face with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends on her cheeks and a touch for her ears.
The sentiment is simply a sweet one and works for so many occasions. To fit everything on the die cut, I did die cut first and then stamp the sentiment and the flowers. The flowers are stamped using Memento also, then filled with Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green. I love the addition of the grass.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
This sweet DSP has hearts on one side and then compatible designs on the other side. I opted to use the other side as my band. The cardstock is Poppy Parade for the card base and again for the large Die layer. It actually shows better against the DSP in person.
Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder
The detail on this embossing folder is fabulous. All of the little hearts swirling around are so nice. And this one is also something that could be used for a lot of similar cards. I did not intend this one to be a Valentine card, more of a Thinking of You.
Extras
The two Die cut layers are from the Nested Essentials Dies. These are so versatile with the different shapes. I would feel lost without them. And to finish the card I added some low profile bling. Actually these are the Low Profile Dots that are (or maybe were) on the Last Chance List. I hope you have some because they go with almost anything. They are the little black dress of card making!

This post name is not exactly the name of the stamp set. It is however close, and very fitting as this stamp set brings back the “Round” punches that I love. I shared one yesterday as well with the round focal point. You can see that one HERE if you missed it.
You can see that this is a fun fold of sorts. It is a simple one though. And here is the inside view.
A Round of Hellos stamp set
The stamps used on the front are all from the A Round of Hellos set. There are a few sayings and more “round” pieces. I chose this half flower to go along with the leaves. This set also pairs with the 2 3/8″ and 2″ Circle Punches. Both of these are used in the “round” focal area.
Paper
To get the brightness I wanted on a cold and windy day here north of Atlanta, I went with the Brights 6X6 Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. From that I pulled Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist. The base of the card is Melon Mambo. It is a simple cut of 6 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 1/4. The two DSP strips are both the same sheet, I used front and back, and measure 2 1/8 X 5 3/8. The inside one is adhered to the Basic White that is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8.
The circles were punched with the Circle Punches. It was the 2 3/8″ Circle for the Lemon Lime Twist DSP and then 2″ Circle for the stamped flower. The flower is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals where the DSP is adhered using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. Remember to only add the glue to the half attaching to the left side!!
Bling
The papers are pretty on their own, but there still must be bling. I went a bit extra today with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are Strawberry Slush but close enough. There are three sizes of each of the colors and I used all three sizes. You should be able to find 5 of the pearls scattered around.
To finish the card I wanted a touch of texture as well. My go to is a small bow. This is a double bow made using the White Bakers’ Twine from the Essentials Twine pack.
