Today’s card is one that I made for a Team swap. I was so surprised how much I fell in love with this Bundle that is Friends For Life. Of course, the matching DSP really adds to the card.
Stamp Bundle
The gorgeous script Die of “friends” is my favorite part of this card. I love the size, font, everything! The other sentiment is part of several words, or groups of words, that can be used to create your own sentiment. Because of the layout of my card, using these partial sentiments was actually the perfect layout to create my full sentiment.
The extra words are stamped using Shaded Spruce and the inside image is in Lemon Lime Twist. Due to the front sentiment, I did not add one to the inside. I thought I would wait until I knew who I was sending it to and then add an appropriate one. So the simple leaf was a great fit. Here is a view of the inside of the card. And you see the “fun Fold” of the card.
Papers and Embossing
The beautiful DSP is from the matching Full of Life Designer Series Paper. This is a 6 X 6 pack of bold and bright designs as well as colors. The blocks down each side of the card are cut from one of the sheets. And the bold “friend” is from another piece. I added Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back of the variegated piece before die cutting it. I love the various colors. The little green heart is also die cut from the same sheet.
To continue the bold colors, I went with Lemon Lime Twist for the card base. It is also the layer for the front underneath the sentiment. I gave this layer a little bit extra texture by using what has become a favorite embossing folder. This is the So Swirly Embossing Folder. Those swirls are wonderful for any card. The movement is very different. The only finishing touch is a single Rhinestone on the little heart. That is extremely conservative for me!!
Measurements of Fun Fold
The card base is quarter sheet of Lemon Lime Twist card stock (5 1/2 X 4 1/4). The White layer is 5 1/4 X 4. There is also the “small” card attached to the center. You see it in that second photo. It measures 3 3/4 X 8, folded at 4. The side DSP are each 1/2 X 3 3/4. And the swirly embossed Lemon Lime Twist measures 3 1/2 X 3 3/4.

The card I have to share with you today can be a birthday card, or a gift card holder, even an invitation. It all depends on your choice of how to utilize this simple layout.
Stamps
This card was made for a class the end of April. Sadly I forgot to post it. And since I love the layout, I thought you might like it even though the stamp set has been retired. I used the Beautiful Balloons Bundle for this card. The sentiment and the two balloons are both from the set. And the matching Dies were used to cut the balloons. However, there are quite a few sets / bundles that would work just as wonderfully to create a similar card using this layout. Here is a look at the inside.
The inside stamping is also from the same stamp set. I hope you have this fun set in your collection!
Papers
The papers used were pulled from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. Even though the stamp set retired, this gorgeous paper did not! Woohoo!!! It is perfect for any celebration. And I love that it matches almost every color we have. For this card I paired it with Lemon Lime Twist as the background.
Extras
There are several “extras” on this one. First, I used the now retired Very Best Trio Punch to make the slot where the ribbon attaches. But any hole punch will work as well. And I used a long ago retired 1″ Circle punch to make the finger cut. Same applies there, any punch you have will work to make a finger slot.
The ribbon is from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Trim in the yellow shade. And the Bakers Twine Essential Pack is the string for the balloons. Last but not least is the 2022-2024 In Color Pearls. And again, there are so many colors in this paper that I am certain you have a color which will work. That is one of the many things I love about Stampin’ Up! products! If you are missing one piece, substitute something similar and you are good.
Measurements
There are two different ways to create this card. This one is made with the pull out as the actual “write on it” card. But you could make that an invitation to a party, or attach a gift card there. If you wanted to make a gift card holder, simply use a full size card as the card base. For this one, I only used a quarter sheet of card stock. If you have any questions about any of that, please reach out to me, I will be happy to help you figure it out.
The card base for this card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. And the large DSP layer is 4 X 5 1/4. The pull out layers are 3 1/2 X 4 1/4 for the card stock, and 3 1/4 X 4 for the Basic White focal layer. Also the strip of DSP across that layer is 2 1/4 X 3 1/2. For the pull out, you need Basic White that is 3 X 4. This gives you some wiggle room and not such tight fit. However you do need to place you adhesive right up to the edge at the sides and bottom.

My card to share with you is a fairly quick one that is bright in color. I love the bright colors of the Color Families of Stampin’ Up!. And this one is mostly in the pink family. A mix of bright and soft, with a sparkle color to highlight everything.
Papers
The prettiest parts of this card seem to come from the paper in my opinion. The background DSP is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I really love this pack of paper. Also the floral strip with the sentiment is the opposite side of this pink striped piece.
The star though is the glimmer paper. This is from the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper in Shy Shamrock. It gives just enough glam to make this card. And it ties in with the green floral strip I mentioned. Because of the brighter colors, I kept the card a simple Basic White.
Dies
The Die set used for the floral part is the Flowers of Beauty Dies. It is the perfect backdrop for a quick card. The green stem is the In Color Glimmer Paper. And the flowers are from the Die set as well. They are on a strip that cuts all of the ones you see at the same time. Talk about a time saver!! I used Bubble Bath card stock for these. Also I took a quick and easy route to adhering them. I used a Mini Glue Dot behind each one. There are holes in the centers. But my pearls at the end also fit perfectly in the holes!
Stamps and Finishes
The front sentiment is from the awesome Sentimental Park stamp set. This sentiment gets used quite often by me. It can work with a variety of occasions. And I really love the font used on it. With the glimmer paper and DSP, there was not a need for too much extra. But of course I did add extras!
The scrap of floral DSP from Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper was just enough to ground the sentiment of Bubble Bath. I also added a simple multi looped bow to the back of these layers. The Essentials Bakers Twine is definitely something we all should have in our stash. And to finish the card, I added a scattering of Iridescent Pearls.

I wanted to do a quick reminder that the June Special of an additional 10% off on Bundles begins tomorrow. Or tonight if you are staying up really late!
Additionally, this 10% extra applies to both of the Stamp Cut & Emboss Machines. Woohoo on that one! I would be lost without my machines. And I truly do utilize both of them.
There are currently a few Bundles that are not available. However, all of those are expected back in stock during June. Even if it is the last week of June. But with a new catalog, I am sure you can find a bundle or two on your wish list.
Please reach out if you have any questions.

I have really mixed products and patterns today in the card I created. The Fluffiest Friends meets To Market Designer Series Paper. Not a normal pairing for sure.
Papers
The papers used on this card seem to pop out the most. They are definitely an odd mix, but one that seemed right for some reason. I love the Blackberry Bliss plaid in the background and for the notched ribbon hanging down. But I also loved the floral paper. And when layed down together they seemed to work. It may be a bit busy for some of you and I totally get that. I tried to soften it with the Peach Pie layer behind the kitty. Who knew that Blackberry Bliss, and Peach Pie worked so well together! These papers are both from the To Market Designer Series Paper. I was very unsure about this pack of DSP, but now not so much.
Stamps and Dies
The stamps and Dies used here are probably a first for me. Both the Fluffiest Friends Bundle and the Comforting Thoughts stamp set are OnLine Exclusives. I tend to forget about these items. Now I have them separate, but right next to my Annual Catalog sets.
The Fluffiest Friends, and matching Dies, are so cute and of course that puts them right up my alley. I love cats and these are adorable. This one is so sweet holding the little flower gift. I used the matching Dies to cut him out and he fits perfectly.
The shape for the background of Peach Pie is from the Nested Essentials Die set. I used the largest in this shape. I also used that die to cut the edges of the White strip. This stamp is from the Comforting Thoughts set. It also fit perfectly with the width of the layer. And matching the stitching for it to fit exact was a piece of cake.
Finishes
To be such a bright and patterned card, it is also a simple card. It did not require a lot of extras. Of course there has to be some type of bling. In this case, I opted for non shiny bling. The 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots fit perfectly between the words of the sentiment. (There are dots between the words and I covered them with the In Color Dots). I also used the large size dot as a holder at the top of the banner strip.
Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Before we get to the card today, there is a wonderful special coming soon. There is a photo card at the bottom of the post. But the special part is that June 5 – 30, you get an additional 10% off the cost of a Bundle. That makes a total of 20% !! Woohoo!! And the 10% also goes towards either of the Stamp Cut & Emboss Machines as well.
My card today is another version of my new favorite gift card holder. This one was made for a sweet young lady for graduation. It is all about Pink.
Papers
This card really highlights the beautiful Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Papers. These shades of pink all work great together and are easy to mix with other pink shades. I chose to use one sheet as the front and then divide it between the two sections. I showcased this card previously with all of the measurements. And I used the same for this card. You can the previous card and measurements HERE.
The DSP and layers are 4 X 4 and 1 X 4 for the White. Then 3 3/4 X 3 3/4 and 3/4 X 3 3/4 for the DSP. You also need a second 3 3/4 X 3 3/4 White for the inside. Here is that view.
The gift card tucks into the DSP section at the bottom of the card. It will even hold most cards still with the covers on.
Stamps and Bundles
The front flowers are from the Translucent Floral Bundle. This is an Online Exclusive that has carried over from another catalog. It is very popular and one that I find myself drawn to. The flowers are so delicate looking. And with the matching Dies, which also have extra greenery, it is a Win for sure.
The front sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. I love that elegant script. The inside sentiment is from the Everyday Details stamp set. Graduation is definitely a New Journey!! And the little stamped sprig is from the Translucent Florals. For this card, a greenery can be pink!
Finishes
To complete this card I added different types of bling. First is the Sheer Ribbon Combo Trim in a soft pink. It is a little hard to pick out in the photo. But it helps to ground the sentiment and add a little more softness. And of course, there must be bling! I have scattered several Basic Rhinestone Jewels around the card. Plus I did add just a scrap of the beautiful DSP to the inside of the card as well. Something a little different.
