Today’s card is from the Picture Perfect Party Suite of products. I love all of these items. They are great together or separate. My card is only using a few of the items.
Picture Perfect Birthday, 145519
I did uneven layering to balance out the white areas for this card. The DSP is from the Picture Perfect Party 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. What you normally see is the photography side being used. But this is the other side. I tend to use the other sides of the paper more than the more popular side.
I have two tricks that I will share from this layout. First: The Stitched Shape Circle is the 2nd largest. I die cut it before I stamped. To me anyway, it was easier to line up the three candles with the smaller area. The fact that the candles are photopolymer makes a big difference as well. I love that you can see through and around them! Second: To have the banner cuts line up, I used a tiny bit of adhesive and lined up the white at the right end of the other, with proper spacing top to bottom. I then punched both pieces together. Separate the two and move the white back even with the left end of the other piece. You now have perfectly lined up banner tips!

I have a warm and fuzzy Panda Love for you today. These little guys are so cute and so easy to work with that I could not resist another quick card.
Party Pandas, 147221
The Party Pandas set is a Sale-A-Bration set. You can get it FREE, with the purchase of $50.00 from the Annual or Occasions Catalogs. Besides the panda, the second star of the card is the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper. I could use this paper every day! It is beautiful on each side of every sheet. I don’t think I have ever said that before.
The “Love” on the envelope is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. There are a couple of small words from that set that fit perfectly on the little envelope. Obviously the color inspiration came from the DSP. I love Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo would not normally put the two together. But WOW!!, I love them together with this small piece of paper that combines both.
The other highlight of the card is the Glitter & Clear Shapes. I used the small round ones for the Panda’s eyes. It gives it a 3-D look and makes the stand out. The hardest part of this card is cutting all the layers. I have provided the measurements that I used below.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I appreciate the lovely comments and am happy to answer any questions you have.
MEASUREMENTS:
Rich Razzleberry base is cut to 11 X 4 1/4 and folded in half for a top fold card

The Bird Banter stamp set is such a fun set to use. There are so many possibilities. Today I made an unusual pairing that are young at heart. I say that because of their funky hair colors !! I took quite a bit of artistic license in my color choices.

Can you see the blue tipped hair on the cockatoo? I say there are no rules in our color choices, or hair styles!!
The Painted With Love Designer Series Paper is still the star of the show. It was also the color inspiration for the most part. The Pool Party was an add on. I colored with the Stampin’ Blends again. I am so in love with these pens. They are the easiest to color with. I am definitely no expert, so this shows how forgiving they are to work with.
The balloon is stamped and cut from a small scrap of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper. Never throw away your scraps, but especially DSP scraps. They are perfect for small accents.
This is a 4 X 4 card that is very quick to complete. It would be great to make a set with the different birds from this set. Hhhmmm……I may have to do that. Stay tuned.
MEASUREMENTS:
Rich Razzleberry base cut 8 X 4 and folded in half
Very Vanilla layer 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
DSP layer 3 5/8 X 3 5/8
Rich Razzleberry center layer 2 5/8 X 2 5/8
Very Vanilla center layer 2 1/2 X 2 1/2

The sentiment on today’s card is one of my favorite. This is one of my New Year’s Resolutions, just more kindness. And I am back using the Waterfront Stamp Set again. There are so many beautiful examples made with this stamp set. I am continuing to try to emulate some of them. Today’s card is supposed to be a calming mountain scene.
Waterfront, 146386
You will laugh when you read what my inspiration for this card was! The DSP in the background which is from Naturally Eclectic DSP. It wasn’t the vibrant colors, but the faded tones. I saw sky fading down to grass. The mountains are where I grew up and looking over a field towards the mountains is peaceful. So that is where I was headed.
The stamping with this set is definitely a “just go for it” type deal. And the best part is that you can make many different scenes with this one set. I have done a couple that you can see HERE, and HERE. I hope you will give this set a try and see what scenes you can create. As a bonus, the sentiments are some of the best in the catalog. You cannot beat a perfect sentiment.
Thank you so much for visiting with me today. I very much appreciate it. And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Welcome to the Pals January 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “From the Heart” featuring heartfelt projects like Valentine’s Day, Thinking of You, Get Well and Sympathy. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
For today’s blog hop, I went with bright colors and gold embossing on a Valentine’s Day card. This Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is the star though. It is even prettier in person. Because the paper is so beautiful, I went with a fairly simple layout.
Sure Do Love You, 145766
All of the stamps I used are in the new stamp set “Sure Do Love You”. The floral heart did not catch my eye at first. But when I started thinking of the card, I knew it was perfect to surround the sentiment. And with the gold foil in the DSP I had to emboss the floral heart with gold as well.
I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry. The little “always” is stamped in Melon Mambo and die cut using the Lots To Love Box Framelit. These are matching framelits for the stamp set. Purchased as a bundle, you save 10% on this fabulous stamp set and extremely versatile set of framelits!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.
