I hope you had a relaxing and long Holiday! I did some relaxing and some stamping, so I am happy.
I am playing along with my InKing Royalty Challenge in our Facebook group. I have a different challenge to make a card from each day. Today’s challenge is just titled DSP. Well, if you have been following me for any time, you know I LOVE Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Using it is not at all a problem for me. But to make it the focal point is a bit more challenging. I hope I have succeeded.
I was hesitant on this DSP when I first saw it. Then after getting it in my little hands , I was shocked at how beautiful it is. The “mosaic” is raised on one side of the sheet and not on the other. The raised areas are just a tad shiny as well. I know you cannot see any of that in the photo.
I used a section of one sheet for this card. The background is the flip side of the birds. I fussy cut the birds from the paper and taped the lower one down. I placed dimensional beneath the upper one to give it some definition.
The sentiment is from Love What You Do stamp set. It is definitely one of my go to stamp sets. I stamped with Soft Suede Ink on Very Vanilla card stock. I then punched the sentiment out with the Everyday Label Punch. Just for a bit of extra, since I did not have a layer for the sentiment piece, I added ribbon behind the sentiment. The ribbon is the new Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon. And it is gorgeous!!
Thank you for stopping by today! Please return tomorrow for another new project. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

I have a very Happy card to share today. At least I believe it is one that will make you SMILE! I also added a technique that is not as often used as most.
I believe daisies are just Happy Flowers. They seem to jump off of the card here. I used both the old Daisy Punch and NEW Medium daisy punch today. Each is two punched out flowers layered on top of each other. I also added the Perennial Essence Floral Center to each flower.
The background is Direct Ink To Paper. I simply opened the ink pad and drug it across the face of the Whisper White card stock. When I have shared this technique before, it was done on Glossy card stock. This time I used just regular Whisper White, not even the Thick version.
The two colors I used are Pretty Peacock on the bottom and Seaside Spray on the upper section. I went over it a second time in spots where I had lifted a tad early. I like the light and dark that you get in doing this technique. You do not want to press too hard.
The leaves are from the Daisy Lane Stamp set and are stamped in Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I love one stamp set cards!! I stamped the Smile on a scrap of card stock and then only punched one end with the Pretty Label Punch. I accomplished this by placing the piece of card stock inside the cutting area from the back. It was smaller than the punch area, so it was easy to line up top and bottom and then just punch the one end. I love playing with our punches to get different looks!
MEASUREMENTS:
Card base is 11 X 4 1/4
Layer is 5 3/8 X 4 1/8
Center layer is 3 7/8 X 3 3/8
White Center is 3 3/4 X 3 1/4

I try to always make a flag card for the July 4th and other Flag related celebrations. Today’s is a mix of stamp sets and not quite as special as some of the past ones.
I used unexpected stamp sets for this one. It includes the Birthday Background and Itty Bitty Birthday, as well as the Twinkle Builder Punch.
I will share the previous year cards as well.
For the background I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Blueberry Bushel and Real Red to color the stamp and repeat it over the card stock. The flag is made by stamping twice in Real Red. The blue is sponged and then I added stars from the Twinkle Builder Punch. I have the complete list of products at the bottom of the post.

I am sharing something a bit different today. I am showing you the June Paper Pumpkin Kit, or at least part of it. In case you do not subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, it is a box of wonderful products that arrives in your mailbox once a month. We do not know ahead of time what is in the box. Generally it is cards with all of the embellishments, glue dots, ink, and a stamp set. The June PP was one I really LOVE!!! It included mini cards to keep in a little folder in your purse. I love having the 3 X 3 cards in my purse to hand out to folks that I appreciate when I am running errands. This little pocket will be wonderful to hold those.
The little blue folder is the holder and these are two of the cards in the kit that I put together. I never make them exactly as the pictures show!
I also made one of my 3 X 3 cards to go in the pouch as well. Here it is.
I made several of this little card for my purse stash. I used the wonderful new Host Rewards Stamp Set named Time For Tags. The stamps match the Timeless Label Punch that is also new.
For this card I used Whisper White as the card base and layered the new 2019-2021 In Color 6 X 6 Designer Paper stack. I stamped the image with Terracotta Tile Ink and then colored it with Stampin’ Blend Markers. To give a little bit of different color behind the tag, I added a Mossy Meadow punch with the Story Label Punch. It partners very well with the Timeless Label Punch.
I hope you will consider making the 3 X 3 cards to have on hand “Just Because”. It is a nice way to hopefully brighten someone’s day. They also are perfect as Gift Tags. And it is easy to match your gift decoration.

I am trying to go back and use stamp sets that have carried over to the new annual catalog and show them some love. Sometimes we get so excited with the New that we forget the really awesome sets. Today I am showcasing Healing Hugs. It is a beautiful flower with some sweet sentiments.
I love these bold colors. I paired Mango Melody with Mossy Meadow. The Layered Leaves Embossing folder really shows off on the darker card stock.
I stamped three of the flowers in Mango Melody. Two are on the white layer and one was on a scrap piece. I fussy cut the third one and them layered it with dimensional to give some definition to the flowers. I know it is a bit difficult to see in the photo.
The sentiment is from another carryover stamp set, Stitched All Around. The lovely Mossy Meadow linen thread is part of a combo ribbon pack. It is named Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo and is part of the Magnolia Suite of products.
Thank you for stopping by today! I would love to hear from you. There are some specials listed further down in the post, as are the complete list of supplies.
