Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Sale Coming on June 1st!!
The Designer Series Papers in the Annual Catalog on Pages 129-132 will all be 15% off on June 1st. Plus the Hello Irresistible from the Online Exclusives is included. I will remind you again as it gets closer.
Today’s card is a quick and easy one starring the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. This paper is my favorite right now. And I bet it could be yours as well!
Papers
I will begin with paper since it is the star of this card. The Hello Irresistible has variegated colors of yellows and greens. My card today focuses on the yellows. It was a debate with myself which color to use as the card base between Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, and Daffodil Delight. I opted for Petal Pink as the card base with the layer of Daffodil Delight. Then the fun piece of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series paper. The thin layer of White highlights the fun design in the DSP and the focal layer.
Stamps
The stamps are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set. This gorgeous paper and stamp set are part of the Online Exclusives and are available now! Because I wanted a simple card, I punched the circle using the new 2 3/8 Circle Punch. Then stamped the flower and leaves. Knowing they needed to be close together, I felt it was easier to do it on the circle instead of punching after stamping.
The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements stamp set. It was on my desk from another project and I wanted a small and sweet sentiment. The Love fit the bill perfectly. By stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink it stood out from the flower and leaves of Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight with Shaded Spruce leaves.
Finishes
To ground the circle I went with the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack. It includes this soft Petal Pink Ribbon with a lime green ribbon. Both ribbons are easy to work with and compliment several of the current colors. The final touch is a Brushed Brass Butterfly. I really love how much these little guys add to a card. They are staple in my embellishments. And are perfect for this time of year.

I was excited to find the Crafting With You stamp set has some unique images and sentiments especially for most crafters. The Masterfully Made DSP has the perfect paper to accompany the stamps.
Stamps
The variety of images included in the Crafting With You stamp set are amazing. There are stamps, a Cut & Emboss machine, paper trimmer, easel, yarn, etc. I believe there is something for almost any crafter. This card was made for my knitting and crocheting friends. The basket is stamped with Pecan Pie Ink and the yarn is Starry Sky Ink to match the card base.
Papers
The Starry Sky card base was chosen for the bright color but also a color that yarn would be pretty in! Part of this card idea came when I saw the DSP piece. It looks like torn fabric. That along with the sentiment created the card. This pretty DSP is from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. That pack is full of similarly beautiful pieces. And I love that the Lemon Lime Twist works wonderfully with the Starry Sky!
Layers
The card layers are the result of my Paper Share. This piece of DSP was a leftover piece. So I built the card around its size and landscape mode. The twine is a carryover to the Annual Catalog that I love, and was perfect for my theme. It is the Starry Sky Bakers Twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Twine pack. There is not a bow, just the twine wrapped around a few times to help anchor the sentiment.
The sentiment was stamped on a piece of White card stock that had been punched using the Decorative Circle Punch. I actually did punch first so that with the stamp placement I had room for the basket of yarn at the bottom. And apparently I failed to add my Bling!!! I will add it before I send the card out. 🙂

My card for today is a Masculine challenge card. After looking through my stamps I decided that beer and pretzels make a perfect masculine card.
Today’s card is for the Make My Monday Challenge Blog. Click on the badge below to see what the other designers have created for this theme. And you can also join the fun.
Stamps and Dies
I really do like this stamp set and was so happy when it carried over to the new Annual Catalog. Wether you like beer in a glass or mug, or even a glass of wine, this set has it all. I stamped the mug using Crumb Cake Ink and filled it with Daffodil Delight Ink. To finish the foam, I used the Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blend.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set. That was probably a given due to what it says! LOL!! But I think it is perfect and can really have a lot of meaning with it. I think of it as a Thank You or Gratitude.
Papers
The end result has quite a bit more paper than I originally envisioned. The layers kept going with each piece I stamped. For the card base, I matched the Calypso Coral from the Pretzel paper. This piece is from the thick pack of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. That pack has a piece that matches quite a few stamp sets in the catalog.
The gingham layer is from the Glorious Gingham 6X6 Designer Series Paper. This piece is the Pecan Pie color and is a really nice brown. As I made the layers for the sentiment and beer I went back to the Pecan Pie card stock. And even another piece of the Pecan Pie Glorious Gingham. I think of that layer as a coaster for the mug.
Finishes
I had a bit of difficulty placing the sentiment. Finally I decided that the angle was the way to go. It adds a bit of fun to the card and keeps the brown off of the gingham where it blends in somewhat. And the final touch was to add a few of the Lemon Lolly Adhesive Back Solid Gems. They are scattered around as another piece of the yellow.

I am so behind on cards! Life can get crazy sometimes as we all know. So I have a quick card to share with you today. It features one of the Fun stamp sets that I am drawn to always. The Just My Type stamp set is right up my alley.
Stamp Set
Those of you who know me, know that I love the fun stamp sets. This set is perfect for quick and easy cards. The little typewriter, stamped with Pebbled Path, is adorable and has two different types of “paper” to add on. I chose the one with the rolled edge. There are two simple sentiments that will fit on the papers. It was a debate but I always like For You as an option. If I a sending you a card, then it is For You! The addition of the Bubble Bath little heart was a perfect match.
Papers
The DSP piece adds a bit of color and brightness to the Pebbled Path typewriter. I got several wonderful colors in this one partial sheet of paper. It is from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series paper. The uneven spreading of the colors goes with my whimsical theme.
The Bubble Bath card base came after I stamped the heart with Bubble Bath Ink. I really like the softness against all of the more vibrant colors of the DSP. And just to tie in with the White area of the typewriter scene, I added a thin layer of Basic White behind the DSP.
Finishes
There really are no big add ons for this card. All I did was add a couple of the Adhesive Back Solid Gems in Boho Blue. They are placed on the keys of the typewriter. Actually they show up very well in person, but sort of fade in to the Pebbled Path in the photo. Surprisingly that is all I did for a finish! With mailing getting more difficult when we add dimensionals and bumps, I kept this one very flat.

Today’s card is to showcase the Earthen Elegance Suite of products. Think copper glazed pottery and natural grasses. I love it!
Bundle
The Earthen Textures Bundle is amazing! The stamp set is vases and flora along with some wonderful sentiments. And the Die set is the vases and flora with extra flora. Plus you get some trim for the vases. I stamped the left vase with Pebbled Path on Crumb Cake card stock. The right vase is just die cut from Pecan Pie card stock. But the detail is a die cut from Crumb Cake card stock.
The flora pieces are stamped with Moody Mauve and die cut for each vase. I added a detailed stem cut from Pretty Peacock card stock for some added height and texture. The sentiment is from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and is stamped with Moody Mauve also.
Papers
The paper choice took a sideways turn, but I love it even more. My plan was to use the DSP piece from Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper that is the copper glaze look. It led to the Pecan Pie card base. The Pretty Peacock was chosen for a touch of color. And that I really am happy for it to be back in the Stampin’ Up! colors! So as I was going to glue the DSP piece to the Pretty Peacock layer I turned it over to add glue. That was the sideways moment. When I saw the opposite side of the paper my mind did a total shift. I had already completed all of the stamping and die cutting. And this piece of DSP fit so much better with my color choices. A win in my book!
Finishes
There are a couple of finishing touches today. First is the Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim. Oh My!!! I love the look of this and how much detail it adds to the card. And it was a perfect anchor for the sentiment. You know I need to add bling as well. So the debut of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots happens. I could not decide on which color worked best. A variety is fine in my book. These are one each of the Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, and Moody Mauve Dots.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope I have interested you in this fun Suite of products.

I have been on a floral kick of late. Today’s card is no different. It includes the Pansy Patch and Pansy Dies. And in honor of Mother’s Day, they are in my Mom’s favorite color. That is purple! So I mixed shades of purple to create the pansies.
The Pansies
These cute little pansies were created with the Pansy Dies. No stamping was required. I layered Gorgeous Grape with Highland Heather for the flower pieces. Other than figuring which dies did what, they go together very easily and fit perfectly. The leaves are two step also and are Pretty Peacock with Shaded Spruce. Mixing colors is so much fun!
Sentiment
The sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set as well. It is heat embossed on Gorgeous Grape. That is a step I don’t often do. But it adds so much! And to be different, I layered it as well. The banner is cut using the Something Fancy Dies. I then layered it on a piece of Pretty Peacock. The die gave the angle cut so I layered it on the Pretty Peacock strip and then used my Paper Snips to angle cut that piece. A quick way to add that second layer!
Colors, Finishes
I almost forgot the basket! I wanted to ground the pansies, so came up with the basket from Sweetest Cherries. Since the basket needed to be brown, I went with that for a layer. I chose the new Pecan Pie for that color. And back to Pretty Peacock for the card base.
My finishing touch is bling! The new Three Pack of Tinsel Gems had the colors I had used. There are purples for the pansy centers and then a couple of green for the white area.
