The Stampin’ Up! Note Cards and Envelopes ( 20 cards and envelopes for $6.00) are a super value. And this is what I have used as the base of my card today. They are the same weight as the Thick Whisper White or Thick Very Vanilla card stock. So you can stamp directly on them or layer, as I have done here.
Happiest of Days, 143796
I apologize for the white on white with my background! I am working on my photography! yikes….
The note cards measure 5 X 3 1/2, so they are plenty big enough to use in a variety of ways. The Calypso Coral card stock and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper are really the stars of the show. The two really help the stamped images pop.
The stamp set I used is the Happiest of Days set. This is a small set that really is great to have. You can see the set in the supply list below. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive and colored the cake with Stampin’ Write Markers. So easy! I also stamped the cake, minus the stand, on the front of the envelope. I do this on most of my cards. I believe it gives the recipient a smile before they open they card.
The beautiful ribbon is new to the current catalog and is Calypso Coral 1/4″ Ombre Ribbon. It is even prettier in person. There are three of the Ombre Ribbons on page 198.

Today’s card is done in Wisteria Wonder. I really adore this color, but then find that I rarely use it. Do you ever find yourself in this situation? Hopefully this card will inspire you to use your favorite color. I do love how this card came together. Another quick and easy one.
As I said before, I love Wisteria Wonder , and I believe it pairs beautifully with any of the greens. I am partial to matching it with Wild Wasabi though. And instead of using any of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful DSP, I went back to my old faithful the embossing folder. This is Petal Burst Embossing Folder and it is wonderful to use with a stamped flower image.
And speaking of the stamped flower image……do you know what set this cute little flower is from? It is from the Daisy Delight stamp set. It is almost hidden due to the size and you are drawn to the large daisy stamp. Another reason to grab this stamp set!!!
I did use the Layering Square Framelit and Stitch Shapes Framelit dies to add some extra detail to the simple stamped flower. All of the layering framelits and the stitched shapes framelits are perfect for most cards. They may seem like you are splurging, but I think they are wonderful investments!
I apologize that the ribbon is a retired item. Although I have not checked to see if it is still on the clearance rack. It is the Wisteria Wonder Seam Binding Ribbon.

I have another card made using the Cat Punch from the upcoming Holiday Catalog. As us Cat Fans know, cats are not just for Halloween. Today is a second Cat Birthday card, but in non-Halloween colors.
Cat Punch, 144666
Do you see the shadow behind the cat? I just had a wild idea and decided to try that. I punched the DSP cat and then a solid Berry Burst cat to place behind. I think it gives an unusual touch.
The DSP is the Fresh Florals, which is the newest In Colors. The pattern on the cat is actually the same design as the back side of the Tranquil Tide pieces. The White Doily is something I really love, but then rarely use. I think it worked here though.
The banner is punched from the Banner Triple Punch and the sentiment is from Ready to Pop. I love the cute and smaller sentiments in that set. You should give them a glance. And the final touch is the Berry Burst Seam Binding Ribbon. It is a beautiful pop of color and so easy to work with. The bows come out perfectly the first time. I wish we had that ribbon in every color!!
I do not make a lot of cards using the Regals color family, but this falls in to that category (even though they are the newest In Colors) But I love how they worked together. If you decide to give them a try, please let me know how it turns out.

My card today is another Sneak Peek of the upcoming Holiday Catalog I am an animal lover and there are a couple of sets the are must haves in that regard. Today I used PawLaLaLa. The title should give you a hint. 🙂
Santa Paws, 144889
This 4 X 4 card is sweet, cute, and easy to do. A winning combination. I used traditional Christmas colors for the card and then just colored the “singers” with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. It can’t get any simpler than this. And with the 4 X 4, the measurements are so easy as well. I am really becoming addicted to these square cards!
And that is it for today! A quick card and a short post. I do apologize ahead of time that I had technical difficulties (Really operator malfunction!) and I could not get the picture of the Santa Paws stamp set. I will try to get it and add it later if I can.

Today’s card is for the Global Design Project’s 100th Challenge. I accepted Brian King’s challenge to CASE his card. You can go HERE to see all of the designer’s cards and play along as well. My card is made using the Daisy Delight Stamp set.
Daisy Delight, 143669
Most of the cards made with the Daisy Delight set have been with yellow daisies. So I wanted to be a little different! I used Peekaboo Peach and paired it with Wild Wasabi. However, to make a softer color I stamped off with the Peekaboo Peach for the flowers. The flower centers are Enamel Shapes in Regals (Cajun Craze).
The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. And the focal point is cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then the Layering Circle Framelits. The sentiment is flagged by using the Banner Triple Punch and just barely inserting the strip of card stock.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the card and will go over to the Global Design Project to view others that have been CASED. Have a great day !

I have another Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek. It is for the Cat Punch. I am a huge cat fan. We have had one or more my entire married life. So when I saw this punch I knew it would be on my first order. Yay for being a demonstrator and getting a chance to order first! (Hint, Hint!!)
Cat Punch, 144611
Isn’t that just the cutest little guy? My husband’s birthday is coming and this would be a perfect Birthday card for him. Yes, this Spooky Night Designer Series Paper is for Halloween. But this striped version doesn’t scream Halloween. I think it is a good Fall paper. And we have always had at least one Black Cat so this little guy is appropriate.
The hat I added is from the Better Together set. I showcased it last week. You can see it HERE
Do you recognize the punch for the Happy Birthday? I do not think you will be able to guess. It is the Bow Builder Punch. I was looking through my punches for one that would fit the sentiment and saw the bow. That is thinking WAY outside the box ! And that perfect birthday sentiment is from the Ready To Pop set. There are great little sentiments in that set.
The Vintage Crochet Trim in Black is something you must see in person. It is so soft and easy to work with. In fact, the entire Suite of Spooky Night products are all a must have. And that is even if you do not celebrate Halloween or make Halloween cards. The items are wonderful!
And last but not least, I gave him a little bling with a rhinestone on his collar. Even guys need bling. And anytime I use DSP that is where my color combination comes from. Why recreate the wheel when Stampin’ Up! has done it for you?
Thank you for visiting today! I hope this project adds to your interest for the Holiday Catalog. The supplies I used are listed below. You can click on any item and be taken directly to my Online Store. I hope you have a great day!!
