This fun title is actually a stamp. The first time I saw it I laughed out loud, and still do when I see it. And that is what I think our cards should do. Maybe not laugh out loud, but bring a smile or happiness to someone. Plus the way I have used it today is another “almost” no stamping card.
STAMPS
This fun sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. Sadly it is on the Last Chance list. But if you do not have it, then it is not sad. It is currently marked down to $15.30. That is a steal for some fun and unusual sentiments. I thought this sentiment was perfect for the frame and the adorable little mouse. (They are only adorable when not real!!!) It is stamped on Basic Beige cardstock to go along with the other softer and antique looking colors. Then I just fussy cut it to keep it small and to fit on the frame.
PAPERS
These papers are once again from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper and sticker pack. The Wild Wheat background so reminds me of old timey wallpaper! Then the frame is from one of the sheets that has multiple different tags and small size images. As soon as I saw it, I went to the sticker page to see what would work inside the frame. Most of these stickers are the storybook animals. But this mouse seemed just right.. She is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals to help her stand out from the frame
The card base color is pulled from the frame. I chose Flirty Flamingo. Then decided it required a layer between the wallpaper. Basic Beige seemed to go along with the antique as I said regarding the sentiment. So a thin layer breaks up those two darker colors.
EXTRAS
To add bling to this scene I have created was a little difficult. I went through all of my embellishments and most seemed to blend in more than stand out. When I came to the Antique Pearls, they were on my desk and not in the container, I knew these were the bling. They also fit with the antique look. I decided that a trio of them across the top of the frame would be the perfect location.

I went a bit psychedelic on today’s card. Mixing and matching products is such a fun thing to do, and I did that here. I have mixed the Full of Life DSP with a stamp that suits it perfectly.
STAMPS& PUNCH
The Terrific Toadstools Bundle is one I did not originally have on my list. As usual, all it took was a few gorgeous cards made with it and I “Toad-ally” changed my mind! LOL!! I have made several cards using this set and it is so easy to create a cute card with minimal work.
The small mushrooms/toadstools are stamped with Pumpkin Pie Ink and the large one is Berry Burst. The stems are all Early espresso. Having a Punch to cut these is fabulous and definitely speeds up the process. With this wild background, I needed to ground the mushrooms. The “ground” is Pecan PIe and is actually a stamp in the set. It makes this little scene perfect.
To create the sentiment was the most difficult part of the card. I could not decide what to do. The sentiment was chosen quickly as it too matched the paper theme. After stamping it and trying to decide on a Die or Punch for shape, I decided simply to flag it and let it really stand out.
PAPERS
This fabulous paper is from the Full Of Life Designer Series Paper. I happened to be looking at the paper and saw this piece. It seemed it just jumped out at me and I immediately thought psychedelic. And this led me to the mushrooms.
To compliment the wild paper, I chose the fabulous Blueberry Bushel as the card base. Plus the sentiment stamped in Blueberry Bushes helps it to pop as well. For the layer I went with a softer color of Peach Pie. It still is a dominant color and I really like the two together.
EXTRAS
This card is a really bright one and did not require a lot of Extras. As I said, instead of a punch or Die for the sentiment I used my Paper Snips and flagged the one end. For the Bling, I went with a trio of Iridescent Pearls scattered around. They add a touch more White and sort of mimic the white in the “ground” piece.
STAMPIN’ REWARDS

I have been pulling, or at least marking, items that are now on the Last Chance List. One that I found to play with is the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper. I never really used this paper. But of course now I have wondered why not!
STAMPS
This simple card actually has no stamping on the front. I love making this type to have on hand. It is nice when you need a quick Thank You. And I could easily add a simple strip sentiment without ruining the front.
PAPERS
The papers are definitely the stars of this card. The DSP you see is one of the “tag” looking pieces from Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper. There is a sheet that has quite a few different patterns in a similar size to this one. So all I had to do was cut that sheet apart and I have fronts for about 10 cards! This one I cut down just a little bit.
Another great part of this paper package is some sticker sheets. They are not sticky, but are pre punched so they are easy to push out. When I saw this little bouquet, I knew it was perfect for the DSP I had chosen. All I needed was to choose a color for the card base. Misty Moonlight was that choice as it is the darker section of the flowers. Then I thought it needed some texture. That came with the Mossy Meadow layer which is the color of the leaves.
EXTRAS
The texture Extra is from the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. This folder is so fabulous. The detail is amazing and it works with almost any kind of focal layer. You can see that in my photo against all of the flowers.
To complete the card I added a pearl to the open space above the bouquet. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to raise the bouquet. And added a bow of Linen Thread around the stems. The Linen Thread seemed to fit for a simple bouquet and it adds a touch more texture.

My card for today is what I call a Pam Card. My up – upline, Pam Morris, makes gorgeous cards that are perfect and simple layers. This is one little stamp and some beautiful DSP. I hope Pam is proud. 🙂
STAMPS
This sweet little flower stamp is from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set. I love the simple look of them. The image is inked with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with stampin’ Blends. I used colors from the DSP for this. They are Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. It is a soft look for the soft DSP.
PAPERS
The wonderful background of this card is a sheet of the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. For me these sheets look like photography backgrounds Even though I am definitely a Brights person, this soft sheet really makes me smile. It is so calm looking.
I used a Thick Basic White for the card base to keep the “clean” look. Then I pulled Balmy Blue from the DSP for the thin layer behind the DSP as well as the stamped layer. I think any of the Subtles Color Family would have worked for this.
EXTRAS
There is a single Extra on today’s card. I just had to add a touch of bling. This one is new and will be available in the new Annual Catalog in May. I received them at the Onstage Event a few weeks ago. This is a 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearl. There are all of the new In Colors in this package. The one I used is the new soft blue called Cloud Cover. That is such an appropriate name!

Spring is here! At least with everything blooming anyway. This makes me think of flowers, birds, and butterflies. My card today is a fluttering butterfly that is pretty simple to create.
STAMPBUNDLE
This fluttering butterfly is created using the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. The Hybrid Embossing Folder was used to create the embossed layer, as well as cut the large butterfly from the center. One swoop through the Cut & Emboss Machine and that section is complete.
Then all I had to do was Die cut the delicate butterfly from Basic White cardstock. I added the White and floral layer behind the embossed layer first. Then added the white butterfly with a single Glue Dot to the center of the body. This allows the wings to be free to float around a bit.
PAPERS
The “floral” part of the card is the DSP behind the butterfly cut out. This piece was chosen because of the small print and to carry on my purple theme. It is a beautiful piece of DSP from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.
To pair with the DSP, I chose Gorgeous Grape for the card base. And then added the embossed layer using Highland Heather. I really love these two colors together. The thin White layer helps the delicate butterfly to pop a bit. Plus brings out the bit of white in the DSP.
EXTRAS
There are not really much extra needed today. The beautiful embossing and the delicate butterfly are both wonderful. However there must be a little bling. So I chose the Purple Shimmer Gems to continue with my purple card. I have a smaller one on the butterfly body and then two of the larger size scattered around the card.

My favorite colors from Stampin’ Up! are the Brights Collection. The Ocean Friends Suite is full of the Bright colors and feeds my need. Plus these papers just make me Smile!
And this one is a Fun Fold as well.
STAMPS
There are two different stamp sets used on this Fun Fold card. Both of the sentiments are from the Pattern of Friendship stamp set. The front sentiment is a definite favorite of mine. Cards should make us Smile, and this sentiment really does for me. And the inside Bubble looking font of Happy Birthday is from the same set.
To add some additional “sea” or “ocean” to the inside of the card, I added the bubbles around the sentiment. These are from the Ocean Friends stamp set. The bubbles paired with the starfish DSP and did not leave the inside as plain.
PUNCH
The fun sentiment layer on the front is made using the awesome Sweetest Star Punch. I really love this punch and was so happy it carried over. You may remember it from the Fall Mini Catalog. It was a bundle with a Mr. and Mrs. Claus stamp set. To create my focal layer, I stamped two of the stars and layered them on top of each other but spread out. It was easier to stamp the sentiment after punching out the star. Since the stamp set is photopolymer I could see placement perfectly. And much simpler than stamping and then trying to get it positioned where I wanted it when trying to punch.
PAPERS
These bright colors from the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper are what created the card. I love the mix of Brights in the starfish piece. And I am old enough to remember when orange and pink were first paired together back in my younger days. I loved it back then as well as now. Both of these papers are from that DSP.
The card base is pulled from the DSP. I used Pumpkin Pie as the color. Lemon Lime Twist and Summer Splash are the two star colors. The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 1 1/2 and 5 3/4 to make the fun fold. The smallest section is the bottom and I used Tear & Tape to close the edges. A gift card will fit in here as well as the sentiment layer.
The front DSP layers are placed on a Basic White layer that measures 5 X 3 3/4. To add this to the front of the card, I added my glue to the card front. This ensured I would not have too much glue and glue my card shut!
EXTRAS
The bling and ribbon are the two Extras today. It was used to join the two patterns of DSP together after adhering them to the Basic White base. Plus it gives a grounding spot for the star.
I chose the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots for my bling. There are three different colors in two different sizes on the package. I scattered all three colors around the card. These are also part of the Friends of the Ocean Suite of products.
