Today’s card is another quick Halloween card. I made several to use with my Drop Off type Halloween gifts to my service providers. I love giving the people I see at my local businesses, like my pharmacy, little treats as a Thank You for being so awesome! And it just so happens to include another of the 15% OFF DSPS. They are all shown at the bottom of the narrative.
This card is very similar to one I did about a month ago. I just love the 4 X 4 and simple layouts for cards I am making multiples of. And a purple with Halloween is my favorite color to work with. For this card I paired the Blackberry Bliss spider paper from the Magic In This Night Designer Series paper, with Bumblee card stock and ink.
The stamp set is the Festive Post set. It includes stamps for the next several upcoming holidays. Plus it pairs with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. Although I did not use the postage stamp punch, I did pair it with a tag punch. I used the Delightful Tag Topper Punch on this card. I completed the tag with a bow made using the Metallic Mesh Ribbon.
Thank you for stopping in today. I have one of my Slim Line Cards to share with you tomorrow.

I mentioned yesterday that I was behind on Birthday cards. So I have another one to share today. I also used another of the DSP that are included in the 15% OFF Sale. This one is a favorite of almost everyone in terms of the texture it gives to a card. Can you guess which one that is?
If you guessed In Good Taste Designer Series Paper as the DSP, you are correct! This piece is my favorite of all of the ones in the pack. Misty Moonlight is my favorite of the new In Colors, and this piece has a touch of Misty Moonlight in the folds on the paper.
A little bit of a different touch to this card is that I stamped directly onto the DSP. I love how the texture shows through these poppies. I still colored them using the Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade and Purple Posy.
For the focal point, I stamped the single flower image and then die cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I used the 4th from largest die. I colored this flower using the same Stampin’ Blends. Then to give it a little background, I used the marker flick to give the splatter look. I used the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker and flicked the brush tip against the inside of the lid to “splatter” the card stock. I wanted to tie in that piece to the DSP without doing a background layer.
The focal flower is raised with Dimensionals. I also added a bow tied using the blue and white baker’s twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo. It was just enough of an extra touch.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please return tomorrow and I will have another new project to share.

I have been focusing on holiday cards lately and now find I need quite a few birthday cards. So I have a really cute one for you today. It contains a fun stamp set and gorgeous DSP!
I really like all of the Green in the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. (And YES, it is one of the papers that are included in the 15% OFF Sale. I have all of them listed below!) The different greens were the basis of the card. I paired Pretty Peacock with Just Jade for the main colors.
All of the stamps I used are from the Dressed To Impress stamp set. For the perfume bottle, I stamped it using Just Jade Ink. I then added the squiggly to the bottle in Pretty Peacock Ink. To finish it off, I colored the remaining parts of the bottle with the Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. As I said, I LOVE how all of the greens work together! I also stamped it again on some scrap paper and fussy cut the perfume label. It is raised with a dimensional for a bit of definition. I added a few Rhinestones for some Bling! A girl definitely needs bling!
Today’s Measurements are:
4 1/4 X 11 card base
4 X 5 1/4 for white layer
Jade is 3 1/4 X 4 3/4
DSP is 3 X 4 1/2
Perfume base layer is 2 1/8 X 2 5/8
Perfume white layer is 1 7/8 X 1 3/8
sentiment base layer is 1 1/4 X 3 1/4
sentiment white layer is 1 X 3
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you like today’s project and will return tomorrow for another new card idea.

I have another Slim Line Card to share with you today. One thing that this card achieved is that I am now very much loving the Press On Stamp set! I see a lot of cards using this set in my future. The stamps and saying are adorable.
I just love these little, and not so little, coffee cups. Actually they could be filled with anything warm over the Fall and Winter seasons. The larger cup has a couple of sentiments that will fit in the opening as well as some cute designs. I believe the Warm Hugs small stamps, like the candy canes, would be adorable there as well.
As you can see, I mixed in a few other products to achieve my final results. The little strip of DSP is from the Tis The Season Designer Series Paper Stack. And the circle sentiment is from the Warm Hugs stamp set. I have used it a time or ten so far! LOL!!
I colored all of the cups with the Stampin’ Blends in a couple of colors. I used the DSP to choose the colors and went with Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. I varied the colors of the cups just for some fun and cuteness.
The measurements for today’s card are:
base card is 7 1/2 X 8 3/4 scored at 3 3/4
Cherry Cobbler layer is 3 1/2 X 8 1/2
Whisper White layer is 3 1/4 X 8 1/4
Small Shaded Spruce layer is 2 X 3 1/4
DSP layer is 1 3/4 X 3
Scraps for circles of sentiment
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you had a good weekend and a wishes for a good week ahead.

Before I get to today’s card, did you have a chance to check out the DSP sale? 15% OFF of select Designer Series Paper. I have the picture list at the bottom of today’s post and would appreciate you shopping with me.
Yesterday I shared one of the DSP’s included in the sale, the Toile Tidings DSP. Today I am sharing another one. I have used this one a couple of times. It is the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper. I am also remaking the card I shared earlier in the week. It is going from a Christmas card to a Birthday card.
I needed a birthday card for a wonderful person who is a cat lover. I couldn’t think of anything that would make a better card than this paper along with the Pampered Pets stamp set. Do you see the Pocket Flap card that I did earlier in the week? You can see that card by clicking HERE.
And here is a peek of the inside.
The earlier card did not have the focal layer on the front as an addition. I love how just that little bit totally changes the look of the card. As I said in that earlier post, this is a fold that would work for any occasion. And this card is just darn cute even if I do say so myself!
Thank you for stopping by today. I really appreciate it and your comments. I always respond to comments. I respond via email instead of on the blog post. So please don’t think I am ignoring them. I hope you have a great weekend and get some crafting in!!
