The card I have to share today is a quick and easy one. It stars the beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. And is great for your leftover pieces.
Papers
The star of this card is the DSP strips. As I said above, they are from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Each one is cut 1 X 4. These are the sort of strips that I tend to have leftover. What a great way to use those leftover, but so cute, little strips of paper.
The strips are adhered to a Basic White panel that is embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. This adds some great texture to the background. With a thin layer of Misty Moonlight between the Thick Basic White card base and the embossed layer is all the extra color I chose to use.
Stamps and Punch
The sentiment layer is from the Circle Sayings Bundle. And it is a Punch Bundle. There are a variety of sentiments and images that fit inside the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I really love Circle Punches!!! The flowers at the top and sentiment are from the stamp set. The little flowers on the bottom are from the Lasting Joy stamp set. How perfect is that! I also used a sentiment from that set on the inside. With a scattering of the Boho Blue pieces from Adhesive Backed Solid Gems as flower centers the card is complete. So a quick card as well as one starring leftover paper strips!

The card I have for you today is one that I had a blast making. It is a fun Pop Up card with way more than my normal of stamping. The star of the show is the wonderful Translucent Florals Bundle.
Stamp Bundle
The Translucent Florals Bundle is one of the stamp designs that I love the most. All of the images have a bold outline but a soft filling to them. It looks like a Two Step Stamping but with one stamp instead of two different ones that are layered. There is no worrying about lining the two up properly. For this card I used a variety of the sizes of flowers as well as the leaves in the set. And the matching Dies of course are wonderful as always!
Papers
The different papers are always important to me as I love the DSP and card stock from Stampin’ Up!. This time I used Berry Burst regular card stock along with Basic White to stamp on. I also added the Basic Vellum paper to stamp on. The most important thing to note when stamping on vellum is there is a chance of smearing. So stamp carefully, no sliding around, and then give it sufficient time to dry. Drying time may seem to take forever, but is well worth the wait. And you can speed it up a little with a heat tool.
The top background layer is a third paper used. It is from the fabulous Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. This sheet includes the Berry Burst but in a lighter version. The detail in this paper is wonderful when you look closely. It is like the page is from a book, colored and stamped on over top of the writing. I love it!
Inside
I mentioned that this card is a Pop Up. It is a layout I cased from Lisa Cursio. It really is pretty simple and a lot of fun to make. Here is an open view.
I have made pop up cards before, just not in a while. This one was fun in that it allowed me to use a lot of flowers and greenery. Normally I would not have this much White space to cover. As with the flowers on the front of the card, some are stamped on Vellum and others on White. The larger of the leaves was an opportunity to have it stick up further when the card is open. And the little strip of DSP was a trim off of the front layer, just the opposite side. I thought it was a perfect spot for yet another flower.
Finishes
The sentiment is a mixture of additional products. The sentiment came from the Pansy Patch stamp set. And for the fun outline, the die is from the Cheerful Daisies Dies. That little bit of detail adds a lot to the card. For the finishing touch I scattered some of the White dots from Classic Matte Dots.
Thank you for stopping in today!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Today’s card was made for a friend’s birthday and uses a new Punch Bundle. It is the Curved Occasions Bundle. This has some fun retro type stamps as well as some versatile ones. I love it!
Stamps
There are several new and fun products used on this card. But I am going to begin with the stamp set. As I said at the top of the post this is the Curved Occasions Bundle. The bundled part is a Punch! LOVE it!!! It is an arch that has a few saying in the set that are curved to fit. But we all know how flexible the photopolymer stamps can be. I see using this quite often with a variety of sentiments. The curved banner is fairly long.
The stamped flowers are part of the stamp set and was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, as was the sentiment. My friend loves purple, so the flowers are colored with shades of purple Stampin’ Blends.
Layers
This card ended up with quite a few layers on it. For a pop of color there is a thin layer of Basic Black card stock. Next is an embossed layer using the Painted Posies Embossing Folder. I even touched a few of the flowers with the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend for a different look.
The next layers are two of the New Deckled Circles Dies. These are in the Mini and there are a lot of them!! And there are some really large ones so great for scrapbooking as well as card making!

The September – December Mini Catalog is live today!! Woohoo!! I have my order ready to go for my Paper Shares and product I did not get on my Pre-order. Hopefully you are as excited as I am.
Today’s card is a new Punch Bundle from the Mini Catalog. With a couple of new extras added in. The weather is not saying Fall where I am, but for many it is right around the corner.
Background
This card features a variety of products. But one of the first I notice, besides the sign, is the background. So we are beginning there. I created the background by using a mask from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. This set has layering stencils, or masks, to create a sunflower scene, plus this Fall , and a herringbone looking one. Deciding on colors and then how they will blend is the hard part.
For this background I used Daffodil Delight lightly all over, then added some Old Olive, and finally some Copper Clay. I did not want it to be too dark. But maybe should have added some Blackberry Bliss to pop some. The best part is the stencil cleans in just a second under running water. I was impressed!
Stamp Bundle
The stamp set used is the Pick of The Patch. And it has a matching Punch! Yay on the punch because they are my favorite. Both of the pumpkins, stems, and leaves are all in the punch. So easy peasy there. I stamped the pumpkins with Pumpkin Pie Ink and then filled in some shadows with the Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends. The leaves and stem are stamped with Old Olive.
The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and is stamped on a piece of the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper. I thought a wooden sign was perfect for the pumpkin patch.
Dies
The sign is cut using a Die from the Stars At Night Die set. I love the beautiful stars in that stamp set and dies, which is a hybrid by the way. But the shape of this die is what really sold me. And yes I know that is silly! For me a great shape that fits a large number of sentiments is a must have!!
The card is finished with a scattering of the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots. The Copper one was placed as a nail holding up the sign. And a few green ones are scattered. To finish a bit more, I added some flecks from the Copper Clay Stampin’ Write Marker.

Tomorrow is the debut of the Mini Catalog!! I hope you have your Wish List ready to go. I know I have a long one. Also, the Online Exclusive Papers are available tomorrow. The flyer is at the bottom of the post. If you do not currently have a demonstrator, I would love for you to place your order with me. There is a host code at the bottom of the post, and on the side depending on your device. I have a rewards program also which is explained at the bottom of the post.
The card I have to share today is one that hit home with me as I made it. It is about spending time with friends. I know that I need to get outside my little world and do just that. It is good for all of us! And this stamp set is a great beginning.
Stamps
All of these stamps are from the set Warm Welcome. And that is an apt name for this set. The smiling cat makes me smile every time! This set has moved to the Online Exclusives site and is available now. There are a variety of images to put in the doorway and great sentiments to match.
I went with a simple pairing of the friends with coffee, or tea. Of course the cat has to be there to greet everyone! All are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The shadow of the door on the ground was made with Light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend.
Layers
To keep this a really simple card, I started with a base of Thick Basic White. The layer is Orchid Oasis, as is the door. The layers are smaller which seems to highlight the top layer more. The Orchid Oasis is 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 and the top Basic White is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. There is a single Bling that does not show in the photo very well. It is one of the Adhesive Back Sparkle Gems. I used it as the doorknob. But since it is dark and the door is also, you have to look really close.
