I hope you found some stamp sets you loved in the 24 Hour Sale from yesterday! There were several on the list that I love and use regularly. One of the ones is the Gorgeous Posies stamp set. It can be purchased as part of a kit, or just the stamp set. I have just the stamp set and used it again today.
I wanted more of Fall colors for this card, so I went with Terracotta Tile, Mango Melody, and Just Jade. The flowers are stamped with only the Mango Melody, but they have great shading due to the stamp itself! I really love that.
As happens with me quite often, I started with one idea and then went in another direction. You cannot see from the photo, but the flower images are not stamped on the white layer. I stamped the bottom two flowers and leaves and then fussy cut them, but left them straight along the bottom. The raised center flower and pair of leaves are fussy cut and raised with dimensionals.
The background is the gorgeous Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. I love the subtle, yet detailed, embossing it gives to any project. The base card is Thick Whisper White and perfect for thinner layering. This would be a great card for multiples if you simply stamped the bottom flowers that I cut directly onto the layer. It only takes a minute to cut the single flower and pair of leaves that I raised.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you like this project. Please stop by tomorrow for another new project.

Did the title catch your attention? Who doesn’t love cookies, right!!!! Today I am playing with the Nothing Better Than Bundle. Love, Love, Love it! A lot of the things that I Love are in this stamp set.
Today I focused on the Cookies. I know the sentiment is not always correct. But in a big, happy, world, cookies make everything better. Or, you can choose which stamp makes all better for you!
The “Cookies” die cut is made using the die from the bundle, the awesome Foam Adhesive Sheets, and Coastal Cabana card stock. I almost lost the dot for the “i”, but found it stuck to the side of my finger. LOL!! So watch out for those little pieces.
I know my cookies may be a bit odd colored to some of you. But I am not a big fan of Chocolate Chip cookies. Which is great for me because my husband loves them, and I would be eating them all the time! So I made my cookies more of an oatmeal or sugar cookie with sprinkles.
The background DSP is from the Play With Pattern Designer Series Paper, as is the die cut DSP. The die used is the Celebration Labels, which is in the upcoming Mini Catalog. There are quite a few of the same shape in varying sizes. They are designed to be folded over as bag toppers as well as layers like I did.
For the sentiment I used the 2nd smallest of the Celebration Labels dies and then cut it in half where it is indented to fold. I didn’t need the full size. The “stitching” is using the Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write Marker with the hard end to go along the perforated edge. That is definitely an old technique!!

It seems I have a lot of friends with summer birthdays. That is awesome though, because we have such great summery stamp sets. For today’s card, I have CASED the catalog. CASE can be defined a couple of ways. It originally was Copy And Share Everything. I like to thing of it as Copy the idea, layout, stamp set, then make it your own – then Share.
I CASED this from page 13 of the annual catalog. I used the same products, just didn’t stamp the same and changed the sentiment.
I stamped the sunflowers with Crumb Cake Ink on Crumb Cake Card Stock. I then used something I cannot even remember when I used it last. I colored with the Watercolor Pencils! I colored the flowers with a couple of different orange, yellow and white using the Blender Pen after each color. I remember when the watercolor pencils were the main coloring method. It was nice to break them out again.
The sentiment is stamped using Versamark Ink on Soft Suede Card stock. I used White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool to emboss the sentiment. The bow is a couple of strands of linen thread. Even though you cannot see it from the photo, the strands of thread are wrapped around the card beneath the sentiment as well.
For a finishing touch, I added a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems. These are so pretty. They are very soft colors where most of the dots and gems are pretty bold. I felt like soft went well with this card.
Thank you for stopping by today! I greatly appreciate it and love to hear from you. Also, let me know if you have any questions regarding the Bonus Days special.

I adore cats and dogs, and most animals. So I knew I had to have the suite of products fro the Pampered Pets. I love all of the products. Especially the designer series paper! I love the animal prints that match the stamps, and the coordinating opposite side. My favorite though is the expressions on the animal’s faces from the paper and the stamps. I do believe they Smile at us.
Of course I also believe in spoiling the pets. So the sentiment I chose for this card pairs perfectly with that idea!! In making this card I am playing along with the Case This Sketch challenge #378. Here is the sketch for the challenge.
This sketch is wonderful to use up those smaller pieces of DSP that I always seem to have quite a lot of. Neither of these layers are very large. I mentioned how much I love the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper at the beginning. I chose to use two different pieces of the paper for my layers. The words on the paper behind the pup are so cute and just perfect for it. I layered the DSP on different card stocks to share the colors a bit more since a lot of the card is the white front.
The puppy is stamped with Soft Suede and colored using the Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Cinnamon Cider for the dark places, Light Crumb Cake for the allover body, and Dark Flirty Flamingo for the collar and nose.
The sentiment is from the Many Mates stamp set. It has a great mix of sentiments and fonts. Different fonts are my preferred ones to use. The sentiment is punched using the Classic Label Punch. For the background I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. Because it is the 1/2″ size, the tip looks very similar to the tip from the Classic Label. Another unexpected , but happy, find.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you can return tomorrow for another new project.

I have a Celebration card to share with you today. Today is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop with the theme of July 4th. I could not commit to the hop, but had the theme idea in my brain. So I decided to play along anyway.
I started with the new Arrange A Wreath stamp set. I was going to make a patriotic wreath. And I sort of did, it just wasn’t what I intended. My idea wasn’t working so I got the Stitched Stars dies out to make different sizes and colors of stars. When I noticed the large swirl of stars, I knew it would work perfectly. It is sort of a banner across my wreath.
I did add a few extra stars to the wreath to evenly balance it out. I wrapped twine from the Flowers For Every Garden Ribbon Combo Pack. The Celebrate is from the new stamp set Many Mates. It is cut using the Ornate Frames dies. The finishing touch was a few Red Rhinestones to some of the white stars.
One of the good things I did on this was to remember our Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Sheets. I added the adhesive sheet to the Real Red card stock prior to cutting the banner. It makes for very easy adhesion. Otherwise I would have had a glue mess on my hands!
Thank you for stopping by today. It is hard to believe we are mid June already. July is only a few weeks away. I will work on another July 4th card for the actual holiday.

I have a project to share today that is using a Bundle that I said I would not purchase. Do you see how long that lasted? Yes, as soon as I began seeing samples, from other demonstrators that had gotten it in their preorder, I was sold.
The Celebrate Sunflower Bundle is fabulous!! If you can see in the photo, their is a very detailed stamp which matches two different dies. The first cuts out the stamped image. The second is the detailed sunflower outline I have layered on top.
I stamped the image in Mango Melody Ink and the detailed die cut is from the new Bumble Bee card stock. The leaves are stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Just Jade card stock and die cut as well. I stamped the sunflower again on scrap to get the center only. I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Mango Melody and Crushed Curry. I also “flicked” Soft Suede marker for the speckles. There is a die for the center as well. The detailed flower is secured with adhesive around the center. The center is raised using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying the new products. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
