I have been missing for a few weeks but am back once again. Time seems to go by so quickly that I don’t seem to have enough of it. I was treated to a wonderful vacation and once home immediately got sick. In the between of that there was a fabulous Baby Shower for my “Framily”. That is a combination of Friend and adopted Family! So my Framily Daughter is expecting and the theme was Silly Goose. This is apparently a very popular theme right now. Of course I dug through my retired products and found the aptly named “Silly Goose” stamp set. Even being a retired stamp set, I had to share this sweet card with you.
Stamp Sets
The Silly Goose stamp set has multiple geese images with some sweet sayings. This was the goose that seemed most appropriate. She is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. And then highlighted with Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend along her wings. Next I added some of the new Golden Glow Shimmer Brush on her beak and feet. And also the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush on the balloon and hat.
The sentiment I used is from the Wooly Friends stamp set. This simple and small sentiment seemed to fit perfectly for the occasion and in the limited space available. I did not want to add a banner or anything across these beautiful Die pieces.
Dies & Embossing
These layering Dies are from the Sweet Words & Label Dies. They are gorgeous! This entire Suite is so beautiful but the Dies may be my favorite part of the suite. The shapes match perfectly with the outer shape having the added details.
To add a bit more depth to the card, I decided to emboss the large Basic White background layer. For this I went with the Hearts & Love 3D Embossing Folder. What baby card would not benefit from hearts, Right!! I believe it did the trick of just the right addition.
Extras
The last Extra for the card is a simple one. In trying to keep the card soft, I went with a soft color of embellishment. The 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies fit this thought perfectly. The Barely Blush little butterfly looks great next to the sentiment. It is softer than the Bubble Bath cardstock, but still shows up to add another texture.

I have a super sunset card to share with you today. And I may recommend a stamp set for you to order as well. I did not get the set/bundle, and after creating this simple card I so wish that I had. It will be on my next order. I believe you might feel the same way as well.
Scenic Coast Designer Series Paper
These two gorgeous papers are from the Scenic Coast DSP package. All of the sheets are water views on one side and then matching variegated colors on the opposite side. I chose an unusual mix of colors to create this card but all are pulled from the sunset paper. These sheets are a 6X6 package. I cut each in half and then trimmed a bit from the top and bottom. The purple is 3 X 5 1/8 and the sunset is 3 X 4 7/8. To complete the scene, I used a strip that was cut from the top of the sunset to stamp the sentiment on.
To decide on a matching card base was a tad hard to do. I tried Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry but neither seemed just right. Then I opted for an orange to match a part of the beautiful sky. The winner is Timid Tiger.
Stamp set (s)
The sentiment is from the Oh So Perfect sentiment set of Banner Sayings. I love these little sentiments. They work on card fronts, gift tags, small gifts and table favors, you name it! I had to search for an appropriate addition to the fabulous scene because I did not order the matching Bundle to the paper. This is the reason for the (s) at the heading. This bundle will be on my next order. It would have been so easy to add a die cut to this sunset and call it finished. Here is a sample from Stampin’ Up! that should have you agreeing with me. And maybe adding it to your next order. I will say that I am thrilled with my card as I do Love #simplestamping!
If all you did was add the circle with the lighthouse, it would be a completed card! (**This is a SU website photo from the design team.)
Extras
There is really only one Extra today. That is the Bling! The bling I chose is actually part of this suite of products named Scenic Coast Suite. They are the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. I love a lined up trio of embellishments. Actually I left that right edge wider just so I could add the bling there.

I last shared a card using the Sea Horse stamp from a wonderful new Online Exclusive I was late in discovering. Today I have two versions of cards to show using another stamp from the set. This is a Peacock, and it is truly Majestic!
Natural Artistry Stamp Set
This stamp set is aptly named with the Artistry. The images are so special. Stampin’ Up! has some very talented artists doing the creating of our products. And this one is at the top I believe. I stamped this peacock to highlight the majestic look he has. You may wonder why the card is blue and the peacock is green. I chose Pretty Peacock (LOL) because peacocks have a green shade to them. Especially from a distance. ***** Don’t forget to look further down, I have a second Peacock card in a tad simpler version.
Background
To create a somewhat special background, I used the Everyday Arches. These are a favorite of course. They remind me of taking a photo through an arched opening. That is where the royal stage began for my peacock. The second arch of Secret Sea cardstock really helps to highlight the White one. I added some shading using Hydrangea Hue Ink and a Blending Brush to the White background.
Next is an embossed layer from Hydrangea Hue cardstock. This is the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder. Not only does is have the Fern, but it has the fun curlycue you see on the top left, and other leaves. A perfect fit for the peacock surroundings. Last is the card base of Secret Sea as well.
Sentiment
This small but mighty sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set. I love that it is on the smaller side. But it still has the mixed font and totally works inside or in a starring role on a card. I chose to fussy cut the sentiment so it lays along the bottom of the peacock layer.
Extras
There are a couple of Extras on this card. I added the Hydrangea Hue Ribbon across the bottom of the peacock to tie everything together. And it is a perfect place for the sentiment to sit. For the Bling, I added a trio of the Natural Matte Dots. They are in Secret Sea and are great in color and that they are relatively flat embellishments. This group of dots are in more neutral tones and to have Secret Sea dots is extra special.
The extra card is a simpler version of the one above. But just as majestic I believe. I used the same two Everyday Arches Dies, 2nd and 3rd largest, in a different way. A negative was cut of the smaller one to do the Blending and then that is cut out with the larger Die to create the border. This card is Pretty Peacock and Golden Glow.

Now that Stampin’ Up! has the Online Exclusives coming out on a regular basis, I sometimes forget to really go through the new offerings. I am working on that, and now I really have a great reason for doing so. One of the last OnLine Exclusive releases included the fabulous stamp set named Natural Artistry. The images are amazing and that stamp just as beautifully! It would have been extremely sad if I had missed out on this stamp set. I now have one of the images to share today.
Stamps
I hope you are loving what you see of these Sea Horses. They are a single horse that I stamped three times partially touching the previous one. The detail on all of the images in this fabulous Natural Artistry stamp set are really wonderful. And do you see the “sand” at the bottom. I was a bit quirky and carried the sand over to the background layer.
The sentiment is from this stamp set as well. I think this will be a nice stamp for a variety of occasions. Those are my favorite stamps that have versatility. And I believe the sea horses could be masculine as well as feminine.
Papers & Ink
Blues are my favorite colors and what I tend to gravitate to in some way. This card base is Cloud Cover and I have always considered it a part of the Blue family. Yesterday I shared with you a card using a sheet from the Vally In Bloom Designer Series Paper. The piece the sea horses are stamped on is the top section of that sheet. The flowers go around each side and the bottom with the top and center looking like sky. Or in this case look like water. You can see the color detail in the photo fairly well. Do not be afraid to stamp on your DSP!!
The Cloud Cover matches the DSP layer, but I was unsure what to add as a layer. I finally settled on Basic Beige. I felt it was a soft “sand” look. And then I added some sand to it. The sea horses are stamped using Basic Beige Ink also. This is a color that seems to react differently when stamped on different colors. To me the sea horses seem to have a green tone. I still love them!! And the sentiment is stamped using Crumb Cake Ink to go along with the sand theme.
Extras
The first Extra is the Die shape for the sentiment. This is from the Nested Essentials Dies. It fits the sentiment perfectly. And for the Bling, I went with some Sparkle! These sparkly sequins are named Sunset Sparkle Sequins. There are four different colors included in the pack. But they all seem to pick up a bit of the color they are next to. I used a small, large, and then another small.

I have a great layout to share today. My card contains fun DSP and two Die Cut shapes to make this a sweet Birthday card. You could change this up with the DSP and the shapes to create many different versions very easily. I say Yay to simple and versatile.
Shapes& Sentiments
The two Die cut scalloped pieces are from the new Scalloped Blooms Bundle. The Dies are Bundled with the wonderful Scalloped Blooms stamp set which is all sentiments. And in my opinion, the Happy Birthday sentiment is a forever keeper. Many years ago I purchased a single wooden stamp that was very similar to this one. I used it until the rubber crumbled. To say I am excited to have this is an understatement.
The Die set contains seven scalloped circles, some plain and some with detail. Additionally there are about as many smaller tag like Dies. And the sentiments are all wonderful messages. Each post I am saying this is my favorite from the new catalog, so here I am again on this Bundle!! It is a wonderful one. Even though the Vellum scallop is fairly large, because it is vellum it does not overwhelm the card. I forget to use vellum and I pulled it out for this exact reason in creating this layering.
Papers
This fun DSP has a fun name as well. It is the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper. There is nothing Ordinary about this pack of paper. I will give you the Beautiful part. To me it is sort of retro. Back to stencils and some tie-die in fun colors. Actually the paper has most of the new 2026-2028 In Colors in it, as well as others. I chose this sheet only because I liked the image so much. It really reminds me of a stencil just using different colors in each one.
The DSP is paired with Flirty Flamingo as the card base and then Lost Lagoon for the layer. Again that is not a normal pairing, at least not for me. But they are paired in the “stencil”, so why not!
Extras
There are a couple of Extras and one is actually a stamp set. I was going on about the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and the gorgeous Happy Birthday. Then I forgot that there was an image stamped behind that. I used the flower sprig from Fern & Flora as a way of adding a touch more color to the white. It is stamped using Lost Lagoon, but stamped off first. I colored the leaves and highlights on the flowers with Light Soft Sea Foam and Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends. That gave just enough color for you to know the flowers are there.
The second Extra is the Darling Duckling Ribbon. This is on the Last Chance List but was still available today. I wanted to ground the scalloped layers and it brought in yet another color from the DSP pattern. Finally the third Extra is the Bling. There is only one and it is from the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. These are in a couple of different colors but work with more than those few. The sequins seem to adapt the color around them quite a bit. Another Yay on bling that goes further!
