I have another quick and easy card to share today. This one uses the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper like i did a few weeks ago with the ice cream cone. Fun and easy.
Paper
A fairly common theme for me is to have the DSP as the star of the card. This one is that way. The unusual size of 4 X 6 in the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper is not a negative in my opinion. It is the perfect layer for a card with just a bit of extra. In the case of this card, I got two cards from one piece of the paper.
It was a hard decision of what color or colors to pull from the DSP. Blushing Bride one chosen as the card base for a softer look. You know how much I use Smoky Slate, so of course it had to be a layer. The DSP is cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 and then angle cut. As I said above, you get two pieces from one. All you have to do is layer the DSP onto a 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 piece of Basic White, and do a bit of stamping. Although I don’t adhere the DSP until after I have finished stamping. It is more of a placement for the stamps, but I don’t want to accidentally stamp on it!
Stamps
All of the stamps are from the fun and very different stamp set titled Lucky You. The sentiments are all like the one I used in that they are a reverse. Going with Black ink was a chance I took because of the background. It was chosen as a color that would stand out, And it was not included as much as some of the others in the DSP. All of the additional stampings are from the stamp set and are colors pulled from the paper. Even the overlapping of the stamped images was to copy the paper.
I hope you will give this stamp set another look. It was not a first choice for me. But I love it, especially paired with the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper.

A child’s Birthday card is not one of the normal cards I make. But my sweet little cousin turned 2 this week so I had to make him a card. The card was a mix of Catch You Later and Party Puffins. Such Fun!
Stamps
As I said, this card is a mix of products. The monkeys are from the Catch You Later stamp set in the Mini Catalog. Hanging from a tree is perfect and adorable. They are stamped with Early Espresso and colored using Stampin’ Blends. For the banner sentiment I used the Banner Pick A Punch with the sentiment from Party Puffins. And the number 2 is from a long retired die set. But you always need something like that, especially for children and anniversaries.
Paper
A perfect addition for the monkeys I thought was the wood grain DSP. It is a piece from the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series paper. And the Pear Pizzaz matches the leaves on the tree limb. But the blue was just a color I felt looked right. I chose Pacific Point for a brighter blue and I believe it works with the other colors. Having the number in Pacific Point helps it to stand out a bit. My idea was for it to be hanging from the monkey’s tail, so squint your eyes if you do not quite see it like that ! LOL!!!
Inside View
The inside of the card needed some fun as well. Here is a view of that.

Today’s project is showcasing the sneak peek Stampin’ Up! is giving us of a new set for the next Annual Catalog. It is the Here Together stamp set. You can see it towards the bottom of my post where I show all of the current promotions. The set is a wonderful mix of images and sentiments. I focused more on the sentiment for today.
“Every Act of Kindness Changes The World” makes you realize that you can do very small things to make a difference. This is my new goal.
Stamps
As said above, the stamp set is the Here Together set. It is part of the promotion of the All Together Suite of products. Even though this card only includes the stamp set, there is matching paper as well as a new group of Stampin’ Blends. To showcase the stamp set, I went with the hands shaping a heart. To match the gesture I chose the kindness changes sentiment. Being Kind is such an easy thing to accomplish. And making cards is the very best and most fun way to share kindness!!!
Adding a touch of pink to the stamping was easy. I wanted a heart, but ended up with three of them. Utilizing the set that is full of hearts, The Sweet Conversations stamp set, there was the cute little hearts to complete my theme.
Paper, etc.
Additionally, this card is fairly simple and has no designer series paper. Such a shock! Instead of black and white with a touch of color, it is white and white with a touch of color. I wanted this to be a simple card, so went with the less is more theory. To color the hands I used Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. And the touches of pink are Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Color Jewels, along with a layer of Polished Pink Cardstock.
Please do not forget to check the current promotions. The All Together is the third one listed. By clicking on the photos you can see a pdf of each promotion.

Today’s card is a mixture of fun products. The Flowing Flowers pairing with the Heart & Home DSP and Doilies are the stars.
Colors
The mix of colors for this card are a bit unusual. They are all pulled from the DSP but look a bit different in bolder size like the Basic Gray for the card base and Garden Green as the layer. And then the gray Doily from the Heart & Home Suite! Of course I could not leave out the gorgeous Fresh Freesia, so it was added as the flower color and the sentiment strip.
Stamp , etc.
The flower stamp is from the Flowing Flowers stamp set. This set is versatile in that the flowers are mostly outlines, with a touch of detail. They can be stamped on a color, on white in a color, or lightly colored with blends. Regardless of how they are shown, they are wonderful. As a plus for the stamp set, there are a couple of great sentiments with the different type of fonts that I love.
The paper and the doilies are from the same Suite of products. They are part of the Heart & Home Designer Suite. The Heart & Home Designer Series Paper is so pretty and has a large variety of colors in the different sheets. As I said earlier, this color combination is unexpected, but a nice surprise! And of the course the Heart & Home Doilies are a favorite. They come in a pack with three colors. Misty Moonlight, Basic Gray, and Cinnamon Cider are a great combo and go with all of the different papers in the pack. Additionally the back side of all of them is white. So you have a white doily, or one that can be colored. A win / win!!

Before I get into today’s project I want you to know about 3 promotions that are currently going on! I have pictures of each at the bottom of the post where you can click and go to a pdf of all of the details. The best one is the first one! It is 20% off of the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine, plus 20% off the bundles that work with the Mini. An awesome way to stock up on great products.
Today’s card is another project using the Picture This Dies. It is paired with the Way To Goat stamp set. Who wouldn’t love these goofy goats!!
Stamps
The Way To Goat stamp set is such a fun set and one I had not used in a while. It fits wonderfully within the circles of the Picture This Dies. For coloring I wanted to leave the goats mostly white, but they needed some color. So they all got some funny Smoky Slate hair styles. The top two goats look so happy and the bottom one looks like he is up to something! They are such a fun set!
Dies
As I said in the beginning, this is another project with the Picture This Dies using the circle one. There is also a rectangle die that I have a project to share with you later in the week. Surprisingly there are quite a few stamp sets that will fit in the circles or the rectangles.
Paper and embellishments
For a switch I did not use any designer series paper on this project. That is a shocker !! But, I did choose colors from the SAB Sunshine & Rainbows. I wanted it to be bright since the goats were fairly plain in color. Magenta Madness paired with Pear Pizzaz is a good one I believe. And the heart from the Best Deliver stamp set fit perfectly with my idea. To finish off the card the gray dots in the Classic Matte Dots worked great. It just needed a little bit of soft bling!
Below are all of the current promotions. Please look through them and let me know if you have any questions. If you do not have a demonstrator, I would love to assist you. And if you place an order, please use my Host Code that is along the side bar and at the bottom of the page, depending on the device you are using. Thank You!!
