I try to always make a flag card for the July 4th and other Flag related celebrations. Today’s is a mix of stamp sets and not quite as special as some of the past ones.
I used unexpected stamp sets for this one. It includes the Birthday Background and Itty Bitty Birthday, as well as the Twinkle Builder Punch.
I will share the previous year cards as well.
For the background I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Blueberry Bushel and Real Red to color the stamp and repeat it over the card stock. The flag is made by stamping twice in Real Red. The blue is sponged and then I added stars from the Twinkle Builder Punch. I have the complete list of products at the bottom of the post.

I am sharing something a bit different today. I am showing you the June Paper Pumpkin Kit, or at least part of it. In case you do not subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, it is a box of wonderful products that arrives in your mailbox once a month. We do not know ahead of time what is in the box. Generally it is cards with all of the embellishments, glue dots, ink, and a stamp set. The June PP was one I really LOVE!!! It included mini cards to keep in a little folder in your purse. I love having the 3 X 3 cards in my purse to hand out to folks that I appreciate when I am running errands. This little pocket will be wonderful to hold those.
The little blue folder is the holder and these are two of the cards in the kit that I put together. I never make them exactly as the pictures show!
I also made one of my 3 X 3 cards to go in the pouch as well. Here it is.
I made several of this little card for my purse stash. I used the wonderful new Host Rewards Stamp Set named Time For Tags. The stamps match the Timeless Label Punch that is also new.
For this card I used Whisper White as the card base and layered the new 2019-2021 In Color 6 X 6 Designer Paper stack. I stamped the image with Terracotta Tile Ink and then colored it with Stampin’ Blend Markers. To give a little bit of different color behind the tag, I added a Mossy Meadow punch with the Story Label Punch. It partners very well with the Timeless Label Punch.
I hope you will consider making the 3 X 3 cards to have on hand “Just Because”. It is a nice way to hopefully brighten someone’s day. They also are perfect as Gift Tags. And it is easy to match your gift decoration.

I am trying to go back and use stamp sets that have carried over to the new annual catalog and show them some love. Sometimes we get so excited with the New that we forget the really awesome sets. Today I am showcasing Healing Hugs. It is a beautiful flower with some sweet sentiments.
I love these bold colors. I paired Mango Melody with Mossy Meadow. The Layered Leaves Embossing folder really shows off on the darker card stock.
I stamped three of the flowers in Mango Melody. Two are on the white layer and one was on a scrap piece. I fussy cut the third one and them layered it with dimensional to give some definition to the flowers. I know it is a bit difficult to see in the photo.
The sentiment is from another carryover stamp set, Stitched All Around. The lovely Mossy Meadow linen thread is part of a combo ribbon pack. It is named Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo and is part of the Magnolia Suite of products.
Thank you for stopping by today! I would love to hear from you. There are some specials listed further down in the post, as are the complete list of supplies.

My card for today is an oldie but goodie in regard to technique. It is the very easy to do Pinwheel card. There are many versions of this if you check Pinterest. And they have been around for many years. I find that old techniques and new designer series paper, make for beautiful cards. So here is my new version.
I love our new 2019-2021 In Colors! One of my favorites, well truthfully I do love them all, is the Seaside Spray. I used the 2019-2021 6X6 Designer Series Paper Stack of the Incolors as my pinwheel. As I mentioned above there are a variety of ways to achieve this.
Generally you see a layer behind each piece of the pinwheel. Because I used this DSP and it is solid and white only, I decided to leave off the layer and just go with the white layer behind. Each of these pinwheel pieces are 1 1/4 X 1 1/4. (Again, these can be any size and are generally 1″ square with the 1 1/4 square background layer.)
For the background layer I decided to try the Handwritten background stamp. It is a nice change from DSP or an embossing folder background. I used the Seaside Spray card stock with Seaside Spray ink to make this layer.
I kept this a very simple card and did not add a sentiment or my usual embellishments. My only extra was the large Basic Pearl to the center of the pinwheel.
I would love to see your versions of this card if you decide toggle it a try. Please tag me if you do!!
Measurements:
Base card is 8 1/2 X 5 1/2
First layer is 5 3/8 X 4 1/8
5 1/4 X 4
White layer 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
Each pinwheel 1 1/4 X 1 1/4
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day and will return tomorrow for another new project!

Today I have an unusual Birthday Card. I made it for a dear friend that I love to laugh with. I fell in love with this stamp set, Young At Heart, when I first saw the ladies. Then after reading the sentiments I knew I had to have it in my hands. As we get older it seems to me it is the little things that make us happy. And for me that is Friends!!!
The look of the front is dominated by the Designer Series Paper in the background. I wanted that to shine and not have a battle between the stamped areas and the DSP. And yes, I have used the Stampin’ Blends again. I think I am addicted!!!
Because of the dark card base, it is Pretty Peacock, I knew I needed a white insert for the inside. I decided to use one of the DSP leftover pieces to add some pizzaz to the inside as well. I do not usually show the inside of my cards, but I have this one for you.
I had originally intended for the inside sentiment to be on the front of the card. Of course I realized that didn’t work for the birthday. So I used the new Timeless Label punch to give it some love and then added it to the DSP strip on the inside.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you like the unusual birthday card. In a way, different is nice!

This is my second post for today. The first one was about the great specials that Stampin’ Up! has to offer. You can see that post HERE.
Today’s card is a cutie that I envisioned as soon as I saw this stamp set! And it fits with all the great updates I mentioned in the earlier post. I am OVER THE MOON for Stampin’ Up!.
With the color pallet I used, this could very easily be a baby card. That was not my intention, but all you would need is a sweet “welcome” on the inside and you are finished.
I stamped everything in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with my favorite things, the Stampin’ Blends. I colored the Moon with Dark Daffodil Delight and then added the little ring around it with the new Light So Saffron.
I am not a cow expert, but think the black and white ones are usually more black than white. I took creative license and made it white, with a touch of black. I wanted you to see all the details in the stamp. I gave her a bit of a feminine touch by adding Light Flirty Flamingo to the ears, nose, and mouth.
When I was trying to decide what else was needed, I thought of the moon and had a lightbulb moment that it needed stars. The perfect stars came from the Twinkle Builder Punch. It even has a moon that you could punch and use in place of the stamped one. I thought the stars were the perfect size.
Thank you for stopping in today. I was absent yesterday due to storm damage. Luckily it was not to the house. Sunday we had a lightning strike into the ground about ten feet from the corner of the house. It fried the air conditioner unit, cable, internet, and an electrical breaker. Thankfully we have friends who do those things and along with the cable company got up and running by the end of the day on Monday. For once I was ahead and already had scheduled Monday’s post.
