Happy New Catalog Day!! Today is the launch of the Holiday Catalog. WooHoo!! I love the suites and products. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, the Designer Series Paper Special begins today. I have a picture under Updates at the bottom which lists the papers on sale.
Now on to today’s project. I am sharing one of the new Designer Series Papers from the Holiday Catalog on this card.
I adore this DSP!! It is photos on one side and silver designs on the opposite side. I used my current favorite color of Seaside Spray for the base as well as the New Metallic Ribbon in Seaside Spray. The ribbon is in the Holiday Catalog as well.
The card is an idea I got from seeing a money envelope at the Dollar Tree. I did not measure it, I should have!! But I just played with it until I liked the angles. I am working on my first video and it is this angle. I will go ahead and try to explain so you can recreate it.
Directions:
The base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 3 3/4 and 7 3/4. Fold and burnish on the score lines.
The shorter of the ends will be the top. Fold the bottom up and leave the top out flat.
Place the score line of the top on the 1″ mark of your cutter, and place the opposite point in the cutting groove. (You have to slide it away from the top bar to have room for the folded card to lay.
When you cut this, you create the angle. Even though it was from the 1″, the distance down on the short side is actually 1 1/8″. I have no idea why that is, but it works out.
Cut DSP to 3 5/8 X 4 1/8 for bottom and 3 X 4 1/8 for top angle.
With the top DSP, place it with the top against the top bar of the cutter, turn it counterclockwise and place it at the 1″ mark. Make a tick mark just beyond the cutting track on the edge of the paper. (This way you cut you are cutting just to the left of the tick mark and it will be cut away.) Now place the tick mark in the cutting track and also the opposite corner. Make your cut. This will fit perfectly on the angle flap.
I hope these directions are clear enough. I will try to have the video very soon. I think this is a super cute card and can be adjusted to different sizes once you have the basics.
Thanks for checking in today and I hope you are enjoying the new catalog. Please come back tomorrow.

I apologize for being so late posting today. It has been a crazy morning. But it has allowed me to update my blog with the DSP Sale Flyer! WooHoo! This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is the very popular Buy 3, and Get 1 Free on Select Designer Series Paper. The flyer is at the end of the post so you can see which ones to choose from. My September Host Code is at the bottom as well.
Another AWESOME bit of news is tomorrow is the beginning of the Holiday Catalog! I cannot wait for you to be able to order these wonderful items. I want it all!!
Now on to today’s project. It is a Happy card, and great for showers of any kind.
I love this stamp set! It is the Birthday Goodness set that has donuts and macarons. What is not to LOVE?? I wanted to do a variety of colors because I love the different flavors of macarons. However, the choice of paper made me settle on just two.
I chose the Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow to go with the Daffodil Delight roses. The designer series paper is a reverse side of one of the Magnolia Lane DSP.
The adorable ribbon combo is actually a Ribbon Combo (HaHa!) from the Magnolia Suite of products. It is Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo and is the great linen like ribbon with a Mossy Meadow Baker’s Twine to match.
Thank you for checking in today. Be sure and check out the DSP Sale the starts tomorrow and add it to your list from the Holiday Catalog. If you do not have a Holiday Catalog and would like one, please contact me and I will get one to you.

I have what I consider a very Clean card to share today. To me, Clean means it doesn’t have much going on. I kept looking at the card wondering what it needed or what I should add. I didn’t want to leave it like this. But then I decided anything I added would not work. So here is a bit of a different look for me.
Can you believe there is No Designer Series Paper? I was shocked myself! LOL!!! I have been intending to use this die for some time. I saw another card with the flowers created as I have done. I apologize that I cannot remember who created it!! But ever since then I have wanted to do this.
Creating the added color in the flower is very simple. I cut the design from the top layer in the Bermuda Bay Card Stock. I pushed out and saved all of the petals. I then did the same with a piece of So Saffron Card Stock. I adhered the top layer to the card base. ( I do love the look of Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay!) All I did to adhere the petals was put just a dot of Multipurpose Glue in the slot and lay the petal inside. I had my paper piercer ready in case I needed to slide the petal around at all.
The sentiment really hit home with me. I have been trying to grow my Stampin’ Up! Team and have friends who tell me that I can do it. One especially is helping me come out of my “norm” and be more creative in my plans, so this sentiment was spoke to me. I layered the Story Label and Timeless Label punches.
The only accessories that I added for this card was the pearls at the center of each flower. I felt like it needed more but just couldn’t think of anything that would Help, as opposed to being Too Much. So here you have it. A Clean card from me.
Thank you for stopping in today. I know it is a Holiday and some of you will be working anyway. I had one of those jobs that didn’t take off for weekends and Holidays. I hope you all have a good day though.

Yesterday’s card was “Hey There” and today is “Hello There”. I did not purposely make these matching cards. And they do not look anything alike, so there is that difference.
This card is a 4 X 4 card that is intended as either a Birthday Card or a Gift Card. It would work for either. I like doing square cards in that it makes cutting the paper super easy. Plus it gives a different look to a common layout.
All of the stamps are from the I Say Hello stamp set. I stamped the Hello There box in Pretty Peacock and then added the bow on top using Rococo Rose. To get the candles to sit properly, I made a mask of the bow out of copy paper. The thinner paper keeps the stamp from leaving an open area between the mask and your stamping.
Thank you again for visiting today. I hope you have a great weekend and will return on Monday. Even though it is a Holiday, I plan on having a project to share. Being retired is like constant holidays and weekends! 🙂

Fall is on my mind! Not that the weather here in Georgia feels like fall, Oh My!!! But, I have another Fall card to share with you today. This one uses , as I am prone to do, the back side of a Designer Series Paper that you would not say is Fall.
I think this Linen Look DSP is gorgeous. Even with the photo, it seems you could reach out and touch it. Surprisingly it is from the Pressed Petals DSP. Several of the pages have a linen look in the background. This sheet is all linen look.
I paired the gorgeous DSP with the Harvest Hellos Bundle. It has the Apple Builder Punch and the apple and/ or pumpkin in the stamp set. The pumpkins behind are stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and colored with Pumpkin Pie stampin’ Blends. The front pumpkin is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock.
The cute little “Hey There” tag is from the stamp set as well. It says “Hey There, Pumpkin”. I did not want to use all of that. To omit what I did not want, I inked the Hey There with a Black Stampin’ Write Marker. (It is the only marker you can buy individually). I stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch. I fed the end back into the punch to make the banner end.
Thank you for stopping in today! I hope you will come again tomorrow before the long Holiday weekend. Remember that Saturday is the last day to take advantage of this Join Promotion for Stampin’ Up! I really would love to have you on my team. Becoming a Demonstrator was one of the best choices I ever made!!
