This card is more about paper and Die than stamping. The Tag Die is a favorite for sure! And it is on the Last Chance list for a bit over $8.00! That is a fabulous bargain.
Die Shapes
These Paper Tags Dies are so adorable! I am using the shapes for a Baby Shower Tag next month. The heart is one of things I love the best. I am sad they are retiring though.
The larger tag is cut from Basic Beige cardstock with the smaller being Basic Beige that is stamped on using Garden Green Ink. These tags are great layered as I have or simply used individually.
Embossing
The Stone & Ivy Embossing Folder you have seen from me before. This may be an all-time favorite because of the extreme amount of detail to the leaves. And pairing it with the 2 Tone Cardstock is a double bonus! I love that this cardstock has a White core so you can see the detail, or distressing if you prefer. With the details here and the pretty tag, this card is finished!
Layout
This card is a Z fold card which works great with the embossed layer. The inside allows you to see the opposite side of the embossed piece. It is a 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Fold back the first score line and adhered the left side of the embossed layer to only that piece. TIP: Add your adhesive to the folded bag section. That way you do not run the risk of adhesive being too far over and sticking your card closed! Here is a photo of the inside.
Extras
Unfortunately the Paper Tags stamp set is already sold out. The sentiments are from the set. But the Antique Pearls are the Bling on the front, and they are still available.

Stampin’ Up! has a fabulous Bundle that I was a bit nervous about when I first saw it. This Bundle is a die and stamp set that creates the little pop up inside pieces that we have made for years. The exception is that where we have always folded paper strips to make the pop up mechanism, SU has created a Die to do this for us! WooHoo! on that from me. I always got my folded pieces a bit cattywhampus!!! (That is a technical term for crooked!) I am excited to share my version with you using the Die.
Pop Up Petal Bundle
The card I created was kept simple on purpose. I wanted the pop up part to be the star, but to also showcase a fairly quick and easy card. All of the images are from the stamp set, and the pop up box inside is created with the Die. The inside flowers have dies as well.
To create this card you do need to have a “liner” on the inside. Otherwise you would have a hole in your card at the fold. That is not a good look. For my version I used Thick Basic White for the card base of 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/2. Then I cut down a regular weight Basic White layer to 5 X 8 and scored at 4. The Die for the pop up box is a small rectangle (actually there are two different sizes of boxes you can cut). The easy part is that the Die has an arrow at the top and the bottom which aligns with your score line. By placing the die aligned like that it cuts it exactly where it needs to be and you have tackled the hardest part.
There is also a simple way to add some DSP to the “box” by using the same Die and simply cutting a straight line on each end where the die would not cut. The little flaps are a separate Die and make a great addition. The hardest part is attaching the flowers without having excess adhesive. You do not want to close your card and due to extra adhesive it does not open again!
Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper
This fun pack of paper named Mixed Up Patterns is a great one. These patterns are not bold floral or geometric. They are simple patterns that compliment almost anything. My front panel and the inside pop up box are both pieces from this pack.
Extras
To continue with the simple and easy theme of this card, I kept the embellishments along those lines as well. On the front is a strip of Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon that is wrapped around the layer and secured on the back. Then a short piece is slipped underneath the front and tied in a knot. This is the easiest bow there is! And my bling is not very shiny today. I chose to go with a soft bling. The Moody Palette Glossy Dots are a mix of colors that are soft with a touch of shine to them. The purple vase was just a bright pop for the card and then the light dot gave it the match to the other pieces.

Card making is something I do because I love it. I was wowed and in love from the first home party I went to many years ago. Since I have been busy with the houses and not stamping as much I have felt the lack of being me. Now that I am stamping regularly again I am back to my happy place. Today’s card is one that fits my feelings. It is a card for no reason other than “Just Because” . I believe there are quite a lot of people that would appreciate a simple Just Because card.
Beautifully Celebrated
These layering Dies are from the Beautifully Celebrated Die set. There are flowers and other pieces to the set, but I wanted these lovely layering pieces. For me the layers make the card. I used three different sheets from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper. Not really sure why I chose to add Strawberry Slush to the Balmy Blue, but it works.
Gallery Blooms
The single floral stem is from the Gallery Blooms Bundle. I sponged the colors using Sponge Daubers and stamped a couple of times to get the right colors. There are some bleeding over, but I am ok with that. Handmade cards are not perfect. At least mine are not!
The stem is cut using the matching Die from the Bundle. I did raise it from the layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals for some depth. And I added a double Linen Thread Bow for texture. To add a simple bow to a single flower is something I tend to always do.
Sentiment
This sweet and perfect sentiment is one that is in the February Product of the Month. I hope you have grabbed this set entitled Fabulous Sayings. There is a great mix of sentiments in this set. It is only $5.00 with a $75.00 order. And it is while supplies last. But if it does not sell out in February, it will still be available in March while supplies last.
Extras
I have already mentioned the Linen Thread as the first Extra for today. The other are Rhinestones. These are something that I love but forget when there are new embellishments to play with. However they are definitely one to keep in your stash. They work with almost any card layout. Some really shiny bling is never wrong!

I am continuing my group of cards made with the Love Notes Designer Series Paper. It is such a fun paper and makes cards in a snap. Today’s is EX-tra Fun I think.
Love Notes in a Cup
All of the papers, with the exception of the card base and layer, are the Love Notes DSP. As I have said several times, this paper is so much fun to use. It is like “what can I pair together next?”. Personally I was overjoyed when I saw these purple layers. Purple, along with orange, are my favorite colors. So this was meant to be.
The purple polka dot layer is so cute with the faded look going on. And the strip of plaid is the reverse of another sheet of the DSP I had trimmed. It matches the heart on the cup. And the two are what gave me the Flirty Flamingo as the card base and layer.
Extras
This is maybe the simplest of all of the Love Notes cards I have made. So there is only one extra today. But it is also a favorite that I am so happy is still an active product. It is the Purple Shimmer Gems. These are so pretty as they come in a variety of purples. Almost like the polka dot DSP, there are different shades of purple. They are a great embellishment to have on hand.

The Love Notes 6 X 6 Mix and Match Designer Series Paper is one that I had totally overlooked. My upline, Brian King, shared some cards he had made by cutting this paper apart. Oh My!! I was sold. And then it was out of stock of course. But I hopped on it when it was available again. And it is still available.
I will be sharing the cards I created with this paper in the next couple of posts. Today’s is the first one. They are all very simple to do but fabulous for quick Valentine Cards. Here is the first one.
Quick and Easy
That is the title for all of these cards. The DSP pieces are so cute that they can stand alone almost. This one I did layer on a piece of Basic White. Even the strip of hearts is from this paper. It was a cut off piece that just fit perfectly as a strip of love. The best part is there is no stamping involved until you get to the inside for my sentiment.
Extras
The card is so simple, and I apologize for continuing to say that, it only required a bit of DSP and an embellishment. The card base is Real Red and has the layer of Basic White. For the bling I used a trio of White Moody Palette Glossy Dots. These are in a few different colors and small. And that is the card!

I am still loving the Stone & Vines Embossing Folder. It pairs with so many stamp sets. Today’s card is a “lovely” one mixing the vines along with Sweet Blooms. I am loving the mix of colors for this one as well.
The Sweet Blooms Bundle
This great bundle is from the Annual Catalog. Since I was packed up for the move several months I have missed playing with quite a lot from the catalog. So I am going back through and finding wonderful products. This is one of them. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then paired with the “lovely” die cut from the matching Die set. These are more spread out than I would normally arrange them. But I did not want to cover up the floral part any more than necessary. It took some playing around.
Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper
The sentiments are stamped or die cut, and that is all of the stamping other than the inside of this card. The pretty floral arrangement is die cut or fussy cut from the DSP. I wish I could color the flower as beautiful as the pink one is. So I opted to let the professionals do it for me. LOL!!
Stone & Vines Embossing Folder
Once again I have turned to this wonderful new 3D embossing folder. And it is really 3D! Actually this one was embossed at the same time as the previous card using this folder. Having used the two tone Garden Green cardstock, I did one from each side to show the different colors. Although the center of that cardstock is white as you can see from the definition of the leaves. This is the darker of the two sides. You can see the previous card HERE.
Extras
The card base is Petunia Pop to match the flower. I am thrilled with how well it pairs with the Garden Green. To further that pairing, I used the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon to wrap around the layer a couple of times. This was a perfect grounding for the flowers. The final Extra is the bling. This is once again the Sparkle Dot Essentials. I love these with their extra sparkle, the different colors, and sizes, plus they are flat. Many wins all in one with these embellishments.
