Before I get to today’s card. REMINDER: Today is the last day to get a Bonus Days Coupon. Beginning tomorrow you can redeem the coupon(s) on your next order.
Today’s card is a really quick and cute card that I made multiples of for my customers in July. And who doesn’t love a Hug, especially a Paper Hug.
When I make multiples of cards, I try to keep the layers fairly simple. This includes cards with multiple layers, as this one is. I did not intend for it to have four layers!!! But I got carried away with the beautiful DSP. The paper is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. It is a bigger than usual pack of paper and all the sheets are gorgeous. I used various ones and matched the card colors to those in the sheets of paper. I just forgot to photograph more than this one.
The sentiment is from the Comfort & Hope stamp set. It is a very versatile set and I especially love this sentiment. It is perfect for our current situation of distancing. The layers of the sentiment are from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I use these dies quite often. They are all awesome!
For some extra texture, I added the blue and white bakers twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Pack. There are also a green checked and a white ribbon in the pack. And for the finishing touch I added a Metallic Pearl above the sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by today. Tomorrow is the debut of the Mini Catalog! WooHoo!! If you do not have a Mini Catalog and do not currently have a demonstrator, please let me know and I will be happy to get a catalog to you. It is a great one.

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!!
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have a relaxing weekend. Monday will be your last day to place an order and receive a Bonus Days coupon code. Also, the online store will be getting a fabulous new facelift with some great new features. This will go live on Tuesday along with the new Mini Catalog.

The other day I shared a Christmas card with the Rectangular Postage Punch and the Festive Post stamp set. Today I am sharing the punch with the stamp set it bundles with. This stamp set is the Posted For You. The Bundle with the punch and this stamp set gets you the 10% Discount!
For this card, I paired Balmy Blue Card Stock with Just Jade Card Stock and Ribbon. The embossed background is the lovely Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. It is has great detail of small flowers.
The butterfly and Love are from the stamp set. The sentiment is from Positive Thoughts. This is one of my favorite sentiments and I use it regularly. Those three words are wonderful!
I stamped the butterfly and the Love with Gray Granite Ink and colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. All that I used are listed in the Supply List at the bottom of the post. The sentiment is stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink.
Thank you for stopping in today! I really do appreciate it and love your comments and questions.

I am casing a card in the annual catalog today. Of course as I began typing this, I could not find the card again! The CASE is of the layering of the cardstock on the front of the card.
I loved the two different DSP pieces on the front of the card (that I cannot remember now!). So I used two complimentary pieces from Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. The left side piece is only 1 1/2″ wide.
The flowers are from the Floral Essence stamp set. I truly cannot remember the last time I used this set. It pairs with a three petal flower punch named Perennial Flower that is a flower builder. I went with the full flower and fussy cutting! The leaves are stamped and then colored with Stampin’ Blends.
I actually made two of these cards. The second card is more of the left DSP and less of the right one. So an opposite color layout. I needed a birthday card so that one went out right away with a birthday sentiment and of course, I forgot to photograph it!! This one I had the sympathy in mind to begin with.
The sweet sentiment is from the Path Of Petals stamp set. It is die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I love that the same card works for both a celebration and sympathy.
Thank you for stopping by today! I appreciate it. And REMINDER………we are in the final days of Bonus Days. Only one more week to earn your coupons. Read the full details just below.

I have been really enjoying my pre-order from the upcoming Mini Catalog. You do not have much longer to wait. It goes live on August 4th! I love all of the products but especially the Christmas sets. However, I didn’t really want to get into Christmas cards this soon, but I thought of some that are fairly quick for classes. Here is one that I was thrilled with the finished product. I made it with my Stamp Club last week so thought I would share it with you.
For me, this is a very “clean” card. I tend to add extra “stuff” to get it just right. But in making this one, I could not think of anything that would improve on it. And I have to say I like the idea of this as a multiples card.
I used Thick Whisper White as the base, with a layer of regular Whisper White. The postage seal is stamped in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped it first and then added the strip of DSP. The DSP is from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. I have already used almost a complete pack of this paper!! The sheets are all gorgeous.
The deer is stamped in Crushed Curry Ink also on a scrap of Whisper White. It is cut using the Rectangular Postage Punch. The punch is available now in the annual catalog. It is part of a bundle with the Posted For You stamp set. And then it pairs with this stamp set, the Festive Post from the upcoming Mini Catalog. I truly LOVE when Stampin’ Up! matches dies and punches to more than one stamp set.
The Real Red Ribbon is a carryover and is Real Red Double Stitched Satin Ribbon. It is just layered over the DSP like a ribbon on a package. The deer is layered on another piece of the same DSP pack and added with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Measurements:
5 1/2 X 8 1/2 of Thick Whisper White
5 1/4 X 4 of Whisper White
5 1/4 X 2 of DSP
2 1/8 X 1 1/2 of DSP
scrap of Whisper White to punch

I have another #simplestamping card to share with you today. I noticed the stamp set the first time I looked through the annual catalog. It is in with the kits, but you can purchase the stamp set separately. I thought the flowers were just perfect with the definition to them. So here it is.
This card I made using the Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes. So it truly is “simple” and “quick”!! The flowers are stamped with Rococo Rose Ink and the leaves are stamped using Just Jade Ink. I added the dots to the center of the flowers with Bumblee Ink. (I know you are not used to a one word color!) The sentiment is also using the Bumblebee Ink.
And that is the card!!! How quick is this? I believe it would be awesome for newer stampers, or just to make a bunch to add to gifts, or several wrapped as a gift.
Thank you for stopping in today. Please try your hand at #simplestamping and see what you come up with. I was truly surprised at the cute card with just a handful of supplies. This is probably the shortest Supply List I have ever done! LOL!!
