I really love this sentiment so I could not wait to ink it up. I got this card layout inspiration from Pinterest and went with this entire set. It could be made into a Simple Stamping card or multi-layered very easily. My card is somewhere in between those.
Flowering Desert, 148700
There is not much to comment about in this one. I added the flowers to give it more texture and depth. And the sentiment needed some background. So I used Touches of Texture to stamp and stamp off with Sahara Sand beneath the punched out sentiment. I also did some around the edges for the desert floor.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop and will come back tomorrow for a Non Card project. Although the layout could very easily be used as a card. Now you will be guessing!

Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Cards that dislike having to make are Sympathy and Get Well cards. These are usually sad times. But I thinkI should send more Get Well cards since making people feel better with our chosen craft is part of the reason we make cards. So today that is the card that I chose to showcase. Although the sentiment on the front does not necessarily mean that. What do you think?
Dear Doily Bundle, 150616
I believe this sentiment is perfect for a variety of reasons and would definitely make the recipient feel special. I hate to tell you that I used two bundles and an additional stamp set to make this card. All of the new products were right at my fingertips so looking for just the perfect touches was so easy.
The doily cut out and flower are from Dear Doily Bundle. The sentiment with the stitched shape is from the Needle & Thread Bundle ( along with the Pretty Label Punch) And the inside sentiment for the Get Well is “Hope you feel better really soon” from the Humming Along stamp set. I do try to stick to two sets at a time for a card, but with all the new just laying there begging to be used, I could not resist. And I really did want it as a Get Well card.
I also did something else that I rarely do. That is heat embossing. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the sentiment is heat embossed with White Embossing powder. And yes, it still amazes me when the powder begins to shine!! I just love that . Something I do try to always do is to stamp on the front of the envelope. I think it gives the recipient an idea that there is something special inside the envelope!
Thank you so much for hopping along with us today and stopping at my post. I very much appreciate it. I have all of the supplies I used today listed at the bottom of the post.

I was thrilled to receive one of these cute little calendars at OnStage in Orlando back in November. Brian King, my upline, and our InKing Royalty Team gathered with a Team from England and Netherlands one evening. During the evening we snacked , of course, and did a card exchange. Lotte Noordzig-Walther made these adorable A-Frame desk calendars and I could not wait to get home and try it. I finally ordered the calendars. (I got mine from Taylored Expressions.) But with the holidays, and the new products, I had pushed it to the corner of my desk. I made my first one last week and was thrilled. I had used retired DSP for the first attempt and now have created one with current products. So here it is>
Flowering Desert, 148700
And here is a bit of the side view to see the A-Frame.
The one Lotte gave us had card stock as the base so you do not see the opposite side of the DSP. I obviously did not think of that when I used this DSP. But I loved the theme of sparkles and fabulous.
I used a variety of Foil Sheets on this. I needed it to match the DSP, which is Broadway Bound by the way. Behind the calendar is Silver Foil, behind the sentiment is Gold Foil , and the heart is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. It comes in a pair of Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets. I used the Lovely Lipstick for my heart. And isn’t that heart beautiful? It is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.
The sentiments are from Flowering Desert for the Awesome and So Hoppy Together for the You can do anything. Sometimes we need these subtle reminders that we are Awesome!!
Lotte’s directions on her blog are not in English. Luckily the measurements were in English. Her blog is www.alottestampingfun.nl . I have included the measurements below. The A-Frame is the main point and you can decorate it as you see fit.
I hope you have a wonderful day and Thank You for stopping by. Tomorrow is the Pals Blog Hop, so please come back and Hop Along with us and see all the great projects.

I have mixed old and new in today’s project. I am always so happy when I do this and and am reminded of how Stampin’ Up! ink and paper coordinate. For me, that is one of the greatest things about the products.
I have mixed new stamp sets from the Occasions Catalog with Designer Series Paper and card stock from the Annual Catalog. Be prepared…..it is another BRIGHT card!
Birthday Cheer Bundle, 150576
I do not believe you could look at this card and not smile. And I love that!! I looked for bright DSP to base the card on and I knew this was the one as soon as I looked at it. It is from the Animal Expedition DSP pack. It is another of the “opposite” sides that I really love. I pulled the Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst from the DSP. I added the layer of white to sort of ground all the bright though.
I love this Birthday Cheer Bundle and the versatility of the this set and matching dies. They can be used for more than birthdays and are great for any age. I love the tag in the die set and used the “It’s Your Day” from Itty Bitty Birthdays to add another layer of fun to the card. It does not reflect well in the card, but I used my patented 🙂 drag the marker around the white card stock technique to give a bit of a border to the tag.
As I was adhering the layers, I felt like it needed just a bit of something else. I solved that problem with the Glitter Enamel Dots. Again, I feel like the pieces all pair perfectly.

Have you thoroughly flipped page by page of the Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Catalogs? Mine are already dog eared from being flipped through so many times. But then I have had a head start on you. Please remember that you have access to the online catalogs by clicking on the catalog on the right side of my page. It takes you to all three current catalogs and you can open the pdf of each. So they are always at your fingertips!!
Now to share a new project with you. This is a great new stamp set that pairs with an existing punch and stamp set. Can you guess which one? Yes, it is a match to Mary Fish’s Million Dollar stamp set and punch named Varied Vases. This set coordinates with the punch and has great sentiments and fonts. For me anyway, pretty fonts are a must have. So here is my card
Vibrant Vases, 148656
I love how vibrant this Night of Navy card and envelope are. And yes, it is a new item as well!! It is on the bottom of page 26. The cards and envelopes come in two sizes in the package of 20. So you get ten of each size with matching envelopes. I especially love the striping on the inside of the flap.
This card, and the layout, are super quick and easy. It would be great for any smaller stamp. I chose to go with the one single vase of flowers and a beautiful sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed this first day of the new catalogs! I will have more new ideas fo you next week. All of the supplies I used are at the bottom of the page. But please do not stop here. I have outlined all the great reasons for becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator right now. Of course, this offer is good during Sale-A-Bration, so you have from now through March to consider it. I hope you will jump on the opportunity now and begin experiencing all the great products you can choose from.
