The card I have today is using the same layout / sketch as yesterday’s card. (If you missed that one, you can see it here) However this one left off the smallest of the DSP layers and added a larger focal layer. I hope you like this one.
Stamp and Die
The stamp set with this lovely vase of flowers is the Everyday Details set. It is a carryover from the last Mini Catalog. I love the images of this as they are a great size for being the star of the card. This floral arrangement is stamped using Gray Granite for a lighter outline. And then colored using a variety of Stampin’ Blends. All of these are listed in the Supply List. The Dies are no longer a Bundle, but are still handy ones to have. The set includes circles, squares, and rectangles, as well as a long detail die. I used the largest of the rectangles for this one.
Papers
The beautiful DSP used is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. This paper is included in the current DSP Sale!! There were originally three patterns to be used until I changed the layout and left off the small bottom DSP layer. I pulled all of the colors from the floral bouquet piece on the left. The card base is Summer Splash with a layer of Pretty In Pink. The DSP is layered on Shy Shamrock.
The card base is 4 1/4 X 11 scored and folded at 5 1/2
The pink layer is 4 X 5 1/4
The multi color floral paper is 1 X 4 3/4 with layer of 1 1/8 X 4 7/8
The peach floral paper is 2 1/2 X 4 with layer of 2 5/8 X 4 1/8
Finishes
The finishes all add texture to the card, as well as a little bling. For the bow on the vase, I used the Bakers Twine Three Color Pack. This is actually Flirty Flamingo, but it pairs very well. And the bling is the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems in all of the new In Colors. I spread the gems around. To copy yesterday’s card, I added the two greens and peach at the bottom in a line. But the large flower really needed a shiny center. So by adding the Petunia Pop there, I also needed to use the Pretty In Pink. And by adding the last small one it took my number of gems to 5. I always try to use an odd number.

The beautiful, and varied, Designer Series Papers from Stampin’ Up! are something they are known for. And they are one of my favorite things. Today I have a card made using scraps of DSP. I love to save and use my smaller pieces of leftover DSP. Maybe today’s card will give all of you an idea.
Papers
To continue my DSP love, I have used the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper for this card. These are leftover pieces from previous cards. The clouds and the check are both sides of the same paper piece. And I love the Night of Navy with the plane diagrams. It is from the sheet that has sections of different designs and a tag. Pulling from these three pieces, I paired them with Night of Navy for the card base, a layer of Basic White, and then each piece is layered on Smoky Slate. I have all of the measurements for you below. Plus….this paper is one of the DSPs included in the current Sale with 15% off!
Stamps and Dies
To complete the card I had to play along with the airplane theme. So I used the matching Adventurous Sky Bundle. There are three sizes of airplanes in this set along with clouds and fun sentiments. I used the middle size airplane. It is colored with Stampin’ Blends and then die cut using the matching set of Dies.
To create a fun way of placing the sentiment, I thought of the airplanes pulling banners at the beach. I love the sentiment and it is from the set as well. With the small size of the sentiment I looked for a small Die in my collection. I found this one in a new set. It is from the Greetings of the Season Dies that are an Online Exclusive. These match the stamp set that is all greetings. So there are quite a few fun shapes that can be used as tags also. The tag hole is hidden behind the airplane rear.
Finishes
There was not a lot of room or need for a lot of bling on this card. With all of the different layers I decided for very simple. My choice of bling is the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Adhesive Gems. I used three of the Clear ones and spaced them in the squares of the plaid paper. There is one larger size and then two smaller.
Measurements
This layout is one that I have used previously and will use again. Obviously the sizes of the DSP can be adjusted to fit your leftover pieces. But here are my measurements.
Night of Navy card base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored and folded at 5 1/2
Layer of Basic White is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
Cloud DSP is 1 X 4 3/4 with a Smoky Slate layer of 1 1/8 X 4 7/8
Navy plane DSP is 2 1/2 X 4 with a Smoky Slate layer of 2 5/8 X 4 1/8
Plaid DSP is 3 X 1 with a Smoky Slate layer of 3 1/8 X 1 1/8

There are some wonderfully whimsical stamp sets in the Annual Catalog. And today’s card is using one of those sets. I paired it with some fun and whimsical DSP as well.
Stamp and Die Bundle
This fun and whimsical, or even retro, stamp bundle is the Tune In Bundle. The television and sentiments are fun but the added details are what really makes it different. The Daffodil Delight stars are what actually makes this a fun card in my opinion. Although I did try to use all the colors and images to make a retro 60’s – 70’s scene.
The stamps used are all from the stamp set. And the dies are all from the matching Dies. I envision using the stars in other projects already. To give the illusion of a TV screen for the front sentiment I used the Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend and scribbled to cover the screen. I was very uneven because I did not want it to be totally solid. And I love that the tv screen is separate from the tv itself.
Papers and Colors
To continue with the whimsy and fun, I went with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This paper is also included in the current Sale with 15% off thru the end of the month. Hint, Hint !! The TV is from one of the pieces from the pack that is a variegated pink. Also the two pieces of DSP in the background are both from the pack. They definitely bring in the fun patterns. To bring out more blue from the upper background paper, I stamped the background images with Azure Afternoon. That is not a color I use very often. The knobs and speaker on the tv are all Berry Burst to give some additional brightness.
To the inside of the card I added a fun statement to go along with the Happy Birthday. You’re A Classic goes right along with the look of the front of the card. And adding the old fashioned energy signal just is the topping on the cake. Hopefully some of you are old enough to remember those from the black and white movies.
Finishes
There is so much going on with this card that it really did not need much in the way of extras or bling. But the stars needed a touch of something. I chose some sequins to further go along with the 60-70s look. They are on one of the stars and then a couple more scattered around.
Thank you for stopping by today!! I hope you have a fun weekend.

Today’s card began in my mind as a clean and simple look. It does look that way but it ended with a bit longer than simple in the different techniques used. The Playing In The Rain is great for a simple card however.
Stamp set
The Playing In The Rain stamp set contains such fun images. All have happy expressions and are thrilled with the rain around them. I used the sweet turtle that is holding a flower for someone. At least that is my thought. I had to google turtles to get a close up view of a turtle for my coloring. The photos are mostly aquatic turtles and I wanted a more country turtles. But I made him my own with Stampin’ Blends.
Background
To create the background all it took was a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink. I added the Pool Party fairly lightly and then stamped the turtle using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The blending brushes are a little of a learning process. I find I have better first touch if I ink the brush and then use a paper towel to do my first several strokes. This takes off the darkest part.
Colors and Bling
The clean and simple look goes along with the papers. There is no DSP and only Basic White and Pool Party card stock. The mix of colors on the turtle are Pebbled Path, Gray Granite, Wild Wheat and a trim of Granny Apple Green. And the flower is Petunia Pop with a center of Wild Wheat. All of these are Stampin’ Blends. To complete the card I added a trio of 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems and used one each of three colors to tie in with the turtle colors.

Today’s project is called it a Joy Fold Card. it is definitely a joy to make . The Wildly Flowering DSP is the star of the card of course.
Papers
This fun card is one I cased from a dear friend The Paper Pixie. You get to see both sides of the paper with this Joy Fold and I love that. This large main piece of paper is from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. The smaller focal layer piece is also from the same pack of papers. I paired these gorgeous papers with Crumb Cake card stock for the card base, with a layer of Basic White underneath each DSP layer. A white layer against the Crumb Cake has always been a favorite of mine and with the white in the main DSP pattern it really pops.
Here is an open view of the card.
With the card open you can really allow the DSP to shine. And this view shows the simplicity of the card as well.
Stamps and Ink
The focal layer stamped images are from two separate sets. The flower is from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. On the front I stamped using Pecan Pie Ink and then colored the flower with the Light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend. On the inside of the small card I stamped the smaller, but similar, image using Crumb Cake Ink that is stamped off first.
The sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. This set is full of great sentiments. I wanted something simple and that would allow for this card to work for almost any occasion. The small “hello” works perfectly. I stamped it using Misty Moonlight Ink. The focal layer is fairly simple as well. I used the Modern Oval Punch to cut the piece and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it some Pop.
Finishes
To tie in more of the Crumb Cake, soft brown shade, I used the new Basic Beige Ribbon beneath the focal layer. By adding a couple of short strips of adhesives, I was able to zig zag the ribbon easily for a bit of a different look. Of course there must be bling as well. So lastly out came the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Dots. Just a scattering of them around the focal layer was plenty.
Measurements
This card looks more intricate than it actually is. There are just a couple of layers to place. And I did not mention earlier that it is only a quarter sheet of card stock for the card base. So very easy to make multiples of.
The card base is Crumb Cake that is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
The White layer is 4 X 5 1/4
The DSP is 6 X 5, score at 2 1/4 on the 6″ length with the pattern for the flap being up.
The small Crumb Cake card is 4 X 5 1/2 scored and folded at 2 3/4
There are 2 of the White layers on the small card, inside and front layer, each is 2 1/2 X 3 3/4
The small card DSP is 2 1/4 X 3 1/2
The focal layer was a scrap that was roughly 2 1/4 X 3

The card for today is a quick and easy one that would work for most occasions by changing the sentiment. Sadly I needed a sympathy card. This fun paper and Bundle are great for quick cards.
Stamp Bundle
The Labeled With Love Bundle is a unique one in the Annual Catalog. It is one of two bundles that you have a choice of either a Punch or Dies to complete the bundle. Of course you could purchase the bundle and then add the other as an extra. I love Punches so that is the one I chose.
For this card I used the stamped outline for the punched image. And I added the little grouping of flowers. The flowers actually have a matching stem so you can stamp them in their proper colors. But I only wanted the flowers. Although the added stems would have been good as well.
The butterfly is part of the stamp set also. And there is a filler stamp to match it. I decided I liked the idea of stamping on the same DSP as the background. It looked better than I thought it would actually! That is always a nice surprise. It gives a softer look. I also stamped a second butterfly on the DSP and added it to the inside of the card. There are no dies for the butterfly, but they are quick and easy to fussy cut.
Sentiment
This sweet sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. That set is all sentiments and has ones for almost any occasion. I used a matching sentiment on the inside. And of course I love the font and strong script used. It really adds to the message.
Papers
The gorgeous DSP is the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I suppose this would be considered one of the reverse sides. Whatever it is called, I love the mixed colors. To partner with these colors I went a bit off course. Instead of the exact colors, which are the new In Colors, I went a shade darker. The card base is Berry Burst with Coastal Cabana as the layer. And it is the tag color s well. NOTE: This DSP is part of the DSP sale during August!!
Finishes
To ground the sentiment, I added a strip of Petunia Pop ribbon. That is one of the colors from the DSP. The sentiment is then added with some Dimensionals, as is the butterfly. For the touch of bling, I used the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I mixed the colors with the soft green and the soft berry color. All of the same color or a mix is fine with me!
