Before I get to the project for today, I want to remind you that Today is the last chance to Join My Team with the Extra $30.00 of product in the Starter Kit. I have all of the information at the bottom of the post. And you can simply choose the Join button in the Menu bar.
The main product I am sharing today may be one that you have overlooked in the Annual Catalog. It is one of the Stand Alone Die sets. This one has two main pieces that are like little windows. The name is the Picture This Dies.
Dies
This die set has this die, all of the circles are attached as one die, and another with three attached rectangles. This one makes me think of a Peek-A-Boo! The example in the catalog shows different barn animals in each window.
The die cut circles also have stitching around them like the negative here does. I have used those in a card that will be tomorrow’s post.
Designer Series paper
All of the Stampin’ Up! DSP is beautiful, but this Hand-Penned is one of my, actually one of many, favorites. I love pairing the lovely paper with this Peek-a-boo look. It is like looking through an old fashioned camera lense and seeing the garden on the other side. Remember the old cameras with the tiny area you could see through the lense?
For the pairing on this card I cut the DSP sheet a bit smaller than the circle layer. It is glued to the base card. The circle layer is then added with dimensionals underneath to add to the window look.
Sentiment
The sentiment I used is from Free As A Bird. It is punched using the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch. I hated to cover up the DSP, but wanted it to float on top as well. Hopefully it looks appropriate. And I love the sentiment.
The finishing touch is to add a few of the Metallic Pearls. I chose the gold ones to match the Pale Papaya in the DSP.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed today’s project and will come back. I do read and reply to all of the comments individually. They mean a lot to me. Please reach out if you have a question.
Keep Calm and Keep On Stamping,
Jackie

Stampin’ Up! always has a great Join benefit in our Starter Kit. The regular price is $99.00 for $125.00 worth of product. I think of it as the Ultimate Bundle because of the amount of product for the price. However, through tomorrow the offer is AWESOME!!!
I have been mentioning this Special Offer for the last month. Now that we are down to the last Two Days, I wanted to really spell it out for you.
Let’s Outline The Special Join Promotion
The cost of the Starter Kit is still $99.00. BUT…..you get to choose $155.00 in product. That is an additional $30.00 of FREE product. You can choose anything from the current Mini Catalog or the new Annual Catalog.
The order Ships at no charge. That is correct, there is NO Shipping Cost!
There is NO Pressure or Requirement to ever place another order. You have time to play and think about everything with no pressure. You have until October 31, 2021 to decide if this is for you.
There is no penalty if you decide to do nothing else. If you do nothing then you will go inactive on October 31. If you order the $300.00 quarterly minimum, then you will remain active. But again, it is totally up to you between now and then.
Should you decide to use your demonstrator perks, you get a 20% discount on each order you place as a demonstrator.
There is No pressure to sell to others, hold classes, etc. The majority of demonstrators are Hobby demonstrators. The choice is totally yours to make.
Besides the great goodies you chose in the Starter Kit, you become a member of my BlueLine Family. As well as the other Teams I am part of. We have a great Facebook Page where we share ideas, answer questions, etc.
The Friends I have made through Stampin’ Up! are some that I cherish. Imagine a group of people who are just as excited as you are about the products and sharing what they love!
You have access to the demonstrator perks from Stampin’ Up! also. You get to view the catalogs before anyone else. And participate in the Pre-Order for the new catalog if you want.
Finally, you get to enjoy all the excitement of the new products. As well as the quality of Stampin’ Up! products. For me one of the main things I love is the coordination of colors and products. It’s a One Stop Shopping for all of my papercrafting needs.
If this list interests you, I would love to talk with you about joining. And answer any further questions you might have. The Starter Kit is always available, but the extra $30.00 of Free product will end on Monday night.
You can call or email me if you would like to discuss. Or simply choose the Join My Team button in the Menu.

The majority of the cards I send out, and make, seem to be birthday cards. So when I saw the Biggest Wish stamp set, I knew it needed to come join the collection. The options the set gives for mixing and matching are the makings of quite a lot of birthday cards. I hope you will agree.
I paired the Biggest Wish sentiments with the Flowers of Friendship Bundle. This is another new stamp set with a matching punch. Punch Bundles are my favorite!!! I think these flowers would make wonderful Dogwood Blooms for Spring. They have the little bit of indention in the tip of each petal.
The layers of this card are really simple as the card was all about the sentiment. I used Polished Pink and Soft Succulent for the colors. To finish it off, I added the Pale Papaya color from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the center of the blossoms.
I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend! Getting some stamping in is on my list of things to do!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed today’s project and will come back. I do read and reply to all of the comments individually. They mean a lot to me. Please reach out if you have a question.

I know on some mobile viewing you do not see the title I place on each post. Today’s post is titled A Peachy Day. We all need more Peachy Days!!! This is the first time I have used the Sweet As A Peach Bundle. I must say it is a good one! Living in Georgia, getting this set was almost a requirement. LOL!!
The DSP is the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. It has a couple of different Peachy pieces, as well as some coordinating pages. All of the stamped images are part of the stamp set and the branches & peaches are die cut using the matching dies.
As always, all of the colors were chosen from the DSP. I stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzaz and the peaches in Pale Papaya. I also added a touch to the edge of each peach with the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker to show some shading. (The photo appears a bit on the too light side, but in person the peaches are darker)
The Balmy Blue layer is die cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I believe this was the middle size die. With the stitching and scallops the piece did not need another layer. The sentiment is from the stamp set as well.

The Pretty Perennials stamp set and Dies has been a favorite of mine for this Spring. It reminds me of the Flower Power of the 60’s and 70’s. Plus the flowers are just so darn cute!! They classify as Happy Flowers to me. So here is another card using this sweet Bundle.
I believe this is a Smile card for sure! There are a few extra products used, as well as some bright color choices. I wanted the flowers to be the star, along with the Happy sentiment.
The colors I chose come from the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. It may be a bit difficult to see in the picture, but there is a piece of it directly behind the stamped flowers. After stamping the flowers, I decided the card base should be Flirty Flamingo with a layer of White to give some definition to the layers.
The flowers are Flirty Flamingo and Pumpkin Pie. The small flower centers are Calypso Coral. For the larger flowers they not only got the large black centers, but a Rhinestone as well.
The sentiment was a bit difficult to place. I finally decided on the odd angle, like a sash. The Sending Lots Of is White Heat Embossed. The Happy is stamped and then fussy cut. It really was not difficult and did not take very long to do . I think they pair well together.
Measurements
Card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
White layer is 5 1/4 X 4
DSP layer is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
Stamped layer is 4 7/8 X 3 3/8

Today’s card is another Fun Fold, but a common and easy one. It has the added bonus of assisting the card is standing up. I am showcasing the Color & Contour Bundle for the first time as well.
The Color & Contour Bundle is a great combination of flowers, filler for the flowers, awesome sentiments, along with floral and scalloped dies. It is on page 98 of the Annual Catalog in case you have missed it.
I love the clean look of this card. Have you seen the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper? it is a “pen and ink look ” that has been watercolored. That is how I think of it anyway. I pulled the Night of Navy card base from the paper, as I did for the other colors.
The stamped flower is colored using Pale Papaya and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends. The scalloped White layer is cut using the matching Dies from the Bundle. I backed that with a piece of Just Jade cardstock.
Here is a view of the open card.
From the standing view, you can see that the DSP pieces are on the left front and then on the inside right. The piece is cut 4 X 5 1/2 and then cut into 2 pieces that are 2 X 5 1/2. The front of the card is scored in half and “Z” Folded. The front folded back section could be adhered to the other side. But I like how the card easily stands as a “Z” Fold.
Measurements:
Card base is Night of Navy cut 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 and 6 3/8.
Fold on the score lines and make a Z fold.
DSP is 4 X 5 1/2, and cut into 2 pieces that are 2 X 5 1/2
Adhere one to the folded back section of the front and one to the right edge of the inside section.
Just Jade is cut 4 3/4 X 3 1/2 and adhered only to the front section
The front flower is stamped in the center of a White piece cut 4 3/4 X 3 1/2
Die cut the White piece using the 2nd largest of the Dies
Adhere to the Just Jade layer
The inside sentiment layer is White cut to 4 X 2 1/2.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, as is the flower bud.
Adhere close to the folded edge on the inside layer.
