First thing today I have a reminder about Sale-A-Bration! This is the last few days to get these items at no cost! And there are a few of the second release products that are active in catalogs right now. What a bonus! So don’t miss out. And reach out to me if you have any questions.
Today I am sharing the Spring Corners Bundle and pairing it with a beautiful DSP from SAB. This is one of the fabulous products from this last release of Online Products. They are fun and exciting stamp sets with matching Dies. Plus more are coming in March. The bright Sale-A-Bration DSP pairs perfectly with this fun stamp set.
STAMPS& DIES
The Spring Corners Bundle has a couple of corner sentiments in addition to images that pair with those sentiments. For the front of the I had to use one of the corner sentiments. I think that is such a refreshing idea. And then the group of balloons reinforces the “amazing day” idea.
These stampings are done with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink . Then the balloons are colored using Stampin’ Blends. Those colors are pulled form the DSP. This gave me all kinds of color options. So I chose Melon Mambo, Peach Pie, and Shy Shamrock for the balloon colors. These balloons are also stamped on the inside of the card along with a Happy Birthday. For the front the balloons are Die cut with a matching Die. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals under the balloons for depth, but left the bottom free. That allows the bow to sit a little bit flatter.
PAPERS
This unusual mix of cardstock colors are both pulled from the floral piece of DSP. I have been on a Blueberry Bushel kick of late and continued that here. It is just a bright and happy blue. Then to soften things for the DSP pieces, I went with Peach Pie for the layer. It acts as the leading in the stain glass pieced top layer.
The DSP is from the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration. I love these flowers. They are a mix of Brights but with almost all of the color families represented. This makes it so simple to create a variety of cards using different card bases.
The top layer is created with a piece of Peach Pie measuring 4 X 5 1/4. The DSP is all 1″ widths. The top left is 1 X 1, the floral piece is 1 X 4, and the bottom one is 2 3/4 X 1. (Always be careful with your cutting if using directional paper! ) Then the Basic White section is 2 3/4 X 4 to stamp the sentiment.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras, bling and sweet ribbon. The ribbon is the new Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. I love this narrow ribbon. It is a breeze to tie a bow with. And then of course bling. Today I chose to use Rhinestones. A sparkle is always needed for a celebration.
Here is the inside view of the card.

I have been behind on my promotion of SAB. And sadly it is coming to a close on Friday. The card I am sharing contains one of the most popular of the SAB items. It is the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series paper. This paper is so fun and can be used for almost any card idea.
STAMPS& PUNCH
The fabulous sentiment has stolen the show on this card! That fun font of the Poppin’ Up is one of the best I have seen. It is from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set. As are the fun mushrooms and grass stamps.
The mushrooms are stamped with Poppy Parade ink and Melon Mambo ink. I love the addition of the bright green of the grass or leaf image. Those are stamped using Granny Apple Green. And the stems, plus the sentiment, are stamped using Early Espresso Ink.
The mushrooms have a punch that punches the mushroom head and stem. This punch does not leave a white outline, so it really makes it easier to line up without that worry. I have used Stampin’ Dimensionals under the head of the larger mushroom to add some depth. And the fabulous sentiment layer is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well.
PAPERS
These fun DSP sheets just make me smile! The colors remind me of the 1970’s and I remember wearing all of those colors. Personally I love the mix of orange and pink. The different greens just brings everything together. These DSP sheets are from Sale-A-Bration. The Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper is a Free product with a qualifying order through the end of February. So only a few days left.
The DSP strips are where all of the colors of the card were pulled from. I went with a very light card base of Fresh Freesia. It really pulls that color from the two DSP sheets. The sentiment layer is also a piece of the DSP. Stamping on the DSP always seems so special.
EXTRAS
The mushrooms are layered onto a Basic White die cut from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. These fun circles all have different details around the edge. It adds an extra touch. And for the bling I went with a single Sunny Day Iridescent Dots. The orange really pops with all of the colors.

You are getting a couple of sneak peeks of upcoming Online Exclusives. I have gone a bit overboard on the demonstrator pre order on this upcoming release. It is fabulous. The card I am sharing is a case of the sample card when this goes Live next month.
STAMPS
These trees are from the upcoming Online Exclusive stamp set Wooded Acres. I love the simple tree textures. However there is almost the exact stamp, but with full leaves, included in the set. It is a two stamp set. And after this card I am really excited to play with it even more.
The trees are stamped using Pebbled Path Ink. I believe it gives it the far off in the distance look without being too bold. If you look at the trio of trees on the bottom right and add them to the edge of the left side, that is the length of the stamp. So you can see how I stamped it off the paper with every inking.
The sentiment is from another of the preorder Online Exclusives. It is from a large Suite of products. This sentiment is from the Textured Notes stamp set. And like I said, it is a large Suite that you will fall in love with if you like natural and texture.
PAPERS& INKS
There are no special papers today. I used Berry Burst cardstock as the base with Wild Wheat cardstock for the narrow layer. Then I created the stamped background with inks and blending brushes. In my mind, it is a sunset view in the mountains.
The bottom section is a light coloring using Wild Wheat Ink. Next is the sunset using Berry Burst Ink. Finally the sky is Misty Moonlight. All of the colors were done fairly lightly.
EXTRAS
To tie in all of the ink colors I added the Natural Tones Linen Thread in the dark blue. I had used the other two ink colors with matching paper. But had not used a blue paper. So a wrap around and a bow took care of the blues.
The final touch is the bling! I used the Sale-A-Bration Purple Adhesive Sequins scattered around. There are different shades of purple/pink sequins in the package. I used three different shades to go along with my color shading.

My card to share today is a quick and easy one that showcases a sweet embossing folder. The rest of the card falls under the #simplestamping profile. It is a pretty one to make multiples of as well.
EMBOSSING
The dry embossed layer is one of several focal points to me. I love the look that embossing folders can add to a very simple card. The one I have used is the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. Those little flowers look good with most anything. Embossing is an alternative to using DSP as a layer, or stamping a background layer. For this card there are any number of different embossing folders that would have worked just as well. I hope you will give your embossing folders a second look as I have.
STAMPS
This bold sentiment is from the fun With You In Mind stamp set. It is a stand alone set that offers bold sentiments like this one for birthday, best wishes, thank you and thinking of you. Plus the addition of the small icon stamps to boost your sentiment. And it is only $20.00 for a nice group of stamps.
The Happy Birthday is one single stamp. Again, I love the mix of fonts. Those always get a second look from me. I used the cupcake stamp twice. One is full strength ink and the other is stamped off. Plus I added a second of the icon stamps in the heart. It was chosen to add more to sentiment, but to also tie in a touch of blue from the DSP strips.
PAPERS
To pick the predominant paper from this card is difficult. The DSP strips are what designated the other colors so I will begin there. These strips are from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It is a 6×6 pack of fun colors that all have the bokeh dots or the more ink splatter look. The two outside strips are the ink splatter as I call it. And the center one is the Bokeh. These are the two sides of one sheet, so you can choose as you see fit. These strips measure 1 X 3.
The card base is Berry Burst from the bokeh sheet. And the embossed layer is Fresh Freesia from the splatter side. These pair great together. I could have added a Balmy Blue but thought just the blue heart was sufficient to highlight it.
EXTRAS
There are various Extras all over this card. First is the Frayed White Ribbon. It grounds the floating sentiment. Then there are the two cupcakes which are fussy cut and added to the opposite corners of the sentiment. And finally I have added a scattering of the Iridescent Pearls to some of the embossed flowers for the bling!

I have a wonderful Fun Fold to share with you today. Not only is the fold great, but I have used the fabulous birthday DSP that partners with the Birthday Celebration bundle and Suite. These are all products that will make you smile!
The card is in a stand for photographing so I could get it sort of flat. I could not get the proper angle with it standing on it’s own. Here is a look at it open to see the inside as well as more of the side strips of DSP.
STAMPS& DIES
There are actually only three stamps used from the Birthday Celebration stamp set. And they are beautifully scripted. That is always something I look for. I love different fonts. These are probably some of my all time favorites in terms of bold and beautifully done. Both the inside and the front are stamped using Blueberry Bushel Ink. And the banner strip on the inside is stamped using Wild Wheat Ink. I am so going to miss that color when the In Colors change this Summer. That is my go to for a Gold stamping.
The only Die used is the tag on the front. It is also from the Birthday Celebration Bundle. I was thrilled when I realized it fit the sentiment plus added a great layer to the front of the card. And it shows that Blueberry Ink is a good pairing with Pool Party card stock. I called this a tag, when it really is not. There are no holes in this Die. It is designed to make multiple banners for the birthday celebration. As you can see though it works great as a single layer!
PAPERS
The star of the card is this gorgeous DSP. All of the sheets used are from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. This is not just pretty paper. But half of the sheets have gold foil details. You can see on the front with the cakes. And also on the Pool Party strip on the inside with the scallops of gold. There is a second of that strip on the left hand side that you cannot see the way I photographed. The pink check strips are a reverse side of another sheet.
To pair the Blueberry Bushel with the cake sheet really pulls the blue to the forefront. If you follow me I shared a previous card using one of the floral sheets and paired it with Blueberry Bushel as well. It is a perfect match and I could not resist doing it again. Here is a view of the previous card. https://jackiebeers.com/2025/01/banner-window-card/ The Pool Party Banner card stock is pulled from the paper also. And of course I cannot forget the Basic White inside layer.
EXTRAS
This fun card is a CASE of the Fun Fold from Connie Stewart. She called it Vertical Free Standing and has a video. I have a link to my project sheet with basic directions below.
The need for bling on this card was minimal with all of the gold foil in the DSP. I did use the Gold Twisted Thread for the bow of the banner on the front. It needed a bit more attention. And I added a single gold dot from the Low-Profile Dots.

Plaids are a pattern that should fit anyone. At least that is my view of the gorgeous plaid DSP Stampin’ Up! currently has. Add this to a simple fun fold card and I think you have a winner. A different shape of the sentiment is the cherry on top of the cake!
STAMPS
The star of this card is hard to define. There are three different options. But I am beginning with the sentiment. This one is from the stamp set that is a must have for sentiments. It is the So Sincere set. I love the vertical Happy Birthday! The layout of the card fits that vertical perfectly. I sometimes look for these and of course do not find them. There should be a vertical sentiment stamp set of the most common sentiments I believe.
The inside sentiment is also from the So Sincere stamp set. That is really an added bonus. I tend to mix and match. But I love having a pair in one set. Here is the open view of the card.
PAPERS
This beautiful plaid DSP is from the Timeless Plaids Designer Series Paper. I really love the colors in this sheet. And all of the plaids are really nice matching colors. The checkerboard on the front strip is the reverse of this piece, I believe. Sorry but I made this card last week for a class and my memory is shorter every day! 🙂 The best part of this paper pack is there are plaids to fit anyone.
The card base is Basic Beige cardstock. This cardstock is so pretty and versatile. It is a soft color in my book. I did pair it with Very Vanilla for the sentiment and the inside. But I could have simply used the Basic Beige there as well. It is light enough to stamp on easily.
DIES
There are two different Die sets used here. That perfect long oval for the sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season Die set. I love that long oval and the fact it fit the sentiment perfectly is just a bonus.
The second Die set used is the Changing Leaves Dies. These are the leaves on the front. There are two leaves attached and one single. The details are great and they add just enough texture to the card. These Dies come with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. Both of these Die sets are on the Last Chance List. This means that they are retired when the last ones are sold.
EXTRAS
The single bling today is unusual of course. If you follow my posts then you know I love bling. Today I restrained myself and used the single Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. These are a mix of four different colors of mostly earth tone. This one is black sparkle. It could be elegant or rustic. The placement is important because all of the Greetings of the Season Dies are all tags. My black sparkle dot covers that tag hole!
