Designer Series Paper is a quick and easy way to begin a card. The one I have to share today is All about the DSP. It could not be easier.
Paper
Do you see why I said this was all about the DSP? These two pieces of the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper are the card! Generally I do not use a lot of black, or at least not to this extent. I tend to use it as a thin background layer. But this floral paper really pops with the black background. And the Fresh Freesia is so elegant looking on both of the pieces I used.
Because the DSP is so vibrant, I used Thick Basic White card stock for the card base. For a bit of a different look, I cut off 1 1/2 ” off the front to show off the second piece of DSP. With the Fresh Freesia layers everything blends together perfectly.
Stamp Bundle
I really love sentiments! And the Happy Labels Bundle is a sentiment stamp set with a great label Pick A Punch to go with it. This sweet sentiment is perfect for most any time I believe. And the fun punch label adds some extra detail to the bottom section. The punch has two different “ticket” border edges. The second is a smaller perforation than the one I used here.
On a side note, the Happy Labels is a stamp set that can be purchased in either Photopolymer or Cling. Cling is the red rubber. So please pay attention when ordering to get the material you want. There are a few sets in the Mini Catalog that give your this option to choose.
Finishes
Even with the fun fold and the layers, this is really a simple card with the DSP doing most of the work. And as beautiful as it is, it still needed some bling! One of the many things I love about the Stampin’ Blends is that you can turn a pearl or rhinestone into whatever color you may want. I used the Pearls with the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend. When you color the pearl it dries almost instantly and does not come off on your hand or the card. I love it!!

Today’s card is a sweet Love You! card for anyone. It is pairing old and new products for the Make My Monday Challenge.
As I mentioned at the top of the page, this is my card as a designer on the Make My Monday Blog Challenge with the theme of Love Is In The Air. Please click on the image below to be taken to the blog. You will see the other designers’ cards and can upload your own version of the theme.
New Products
I said this card is a combination of old and new products. I am going to begin with the New ones. The DSP is from the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper , which is a Sale-A-Bration item. That means it is FREE with a qualifying order of $50.00.
The second new is the I Love You stamp. This special little stamp is part of the Country Bouquet stamp set. It is a Valentine and Love type set with a country theme. And I do Love it!
The third and final New item is the Thread. To add some extra detail at the top of the card, I went with the Garden Green Bakers Twine from the Three Twine Combo Pack. Even though my card stock is not Garden Green, the shading works perfectly.
Loved Products
I don’t want to be rude and call this group of products OLD, so I am using the well loved description! The Koala Bears are from the Count On Me stamp set in the Annual Catalog. It is a variety of animals with lovely expressions and signs of affection. These two hugging seemed perfect for the Love theme.
The next two items are the heart layers for the Koala Bears. They are the Heart Punch Pack duo. These are such a perfect size for so many images in the catalogs. I used Mossy Meadow for the large scalloped heart so it would contrast more against the DSP.
And the final of the Loved products is the little bit of bling. This is one of the 2021-2023 Opal Dots. It shows a bit darker in person. I wanted a little something to pair with the yellow flowers of the paper. Everything else is on the deeper tones of color.

The project I have to share with you today is the tag I made to accompany my Paper Shares. I also used the tag to make a card since they were so darn cute!
Papers
This card, and the tags, are all about the paper. The center of the card is the actual tag. I fussy cut the images from the piece of Rain Or Shine Designer Series Paper containing these characters. There are turtles, dogs, and the pig holding umbrellas. For the background I used a second piece from the paper pack with the rain drops. Then when I decided to make a card from an extra tag, I added a third piece of the DSP. I felt the umbrellas and rain sheet was the perfect finishing layer. And that doesn’t mention all of the beautiful color to choose from in these papers.
Stamps
The stamp set used is the Playing In The Rain and it is a Bundle. It was a favorite as soon as I saw it. I love any of the animal sets Stampin’ Up! creates because the artists give the animals such character! The Dies from the bundle were not used as they do not include these guys with the umbrellas. So all I used was the sentiment stamp. How appropriate though that Oh Happy Day is what you see when your Paper Shares arrive! Or this card even. Although I am really over all the rain we have had this winter.
Dies and Finishes
Even though I did not use the Playing In The Rain Dies, I did use two other Die sets. The sentiment is using the Stylish Shapes Dies and the largest of the banners. I needed the largest for the height, but did not need very much width. All that took was my Paper Trimmer to cut off where I needed and it becomes a little flag.
The second Die set is the Fabulous Frames Dies. To get the awesome frame around the rain scene, I used the largest of those frames in Mango Melody. The details are wonderful on this one. After everything was placed, I added a layer of Balmy Blue and rounded the corners. Any corner rounder that you have will work. There is not one from SU that is current. But I felt the corners needed rounding! And the final touch is the single Glossy Dots on the sentiment.

I am hopping a holiday ahead with today’s card. Instead of Valentine, I have an Easter card to share. This one is a cute little bunny with a treat for you.
Stamps
The adorable little bunny with his carrot treat is from the Easter Bunny Bundle. This bundle is a punch bundle. However, I have used one of the bunnies that does not fit the punch. The carrot was the layout idea. I wanted him to hold a carrot and the punch bunny is a side view. All of the stamps used are from the stamp set.
The bunny is stamped with Crumb Cake Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. For the carrot I still stamped with Crumb Cake, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then fussy cut it. The adorable sentiment is from the stamp set as well.
Dies
Since I did not utilize the Bunny Punch, I searched through my Die sets for one that would work with the little scene I created. This Die set is amazing and I see a lot of uses in my future cards. The tag die used for the bunny scene is from the Something Fancy Die set. This is also a bundle with the Something Fancy stamp set. The stamp set is an awesome sentiment set. And one I will fully use I am sure, but not today!
For the sentiment used here I wanted a shape that was a bit different from the usual. Once again I found it in the Something Fancy Die set. This little hexagon shaped die fit the sentiment perfectly. And I really love that it is a different shape!
Paper and Embellishments
Today’s paper is a bright and cheery one that fits in with my bunny perfectly. It is from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This is one of the Sale-A-Bration paper packs. I love the brightness and the little designs of green and white.
To play off of the carrot I wanted some additional orange. The Pale Papaya Faux Velvet Trim is gorgeous and really soft. But when placed on this bright paper I felt like you could see the design through the velvet. With a quick look at the SU colors, I decided Pumpkin Pie was a perfect background. It is a little deeper orange than the Pale Papaya but they really compliment each other. Adding that strip of card stock really made the orange work. And to finish off with some bling, I added a few of the Champagne Rhinestones to the sentiment layer and top of the tag.

Today is the monthly Fun Fold Blog Hop. There are several of us who love making Fun Fold cards. You can find easy ones on up to a bit more effort, but hopefully you will find one that you particularly like. Or more than one!!
My Fun Fold card for today is a Triple Step card. At least that is what I am calling it. I will say I cased this from a European Demonstrator that I cannot find the name. However, I did change measurements as the conversion from Metric to Imperial was not at all working, I also altered the assembly of the pieces to be very simple. I hope you like the outcome!
Parts
Instead of explaining all aspects as I usually do, I have a PDF of directions for you. They include everything you need. I will say that one of the things I particularly like about this card is that the larger of the lower mountain folds contains a pretty large piece of White paper. Generally on these type folds there is very little space for an inside sentiment and your writing. This one has plenty of room!
There is a side view included in the PDF so you can see the three steps and how the top step makes a tent over the others. Click HERE to access the PDF.
Paper
I do want to emphasis this DSP. It is from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper as a Free With $100.00 purchase in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. There are 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs. And they are awesome.
The pieces I used are actually the front and back of one piece. And it took maybe a 1/4 of one 12X12 sheet. That is a winner in my book. Not to consider that this is actually a very easy card to do.
Stamps
The fun turtle stamp is from the Playing In The Rain stamp bundle. He is stamped and then die cut using the matching die with the same name! Have you noticed all of the bundles in the Mini Catalog have the same name for the stamp set and dies / or punches? Yay!!!
Thank you for visiting me today! I hope you will leave a comment and then hop on to the next person in today’s Fun Fold lineup.

Today’s card is my first play with the Seaside Bay Bundle. I did a fairly quick and simple one and now love this set. It is paired with the By The Bay Designer Series Paper.
Stamps and Dies
As I said, this is the Seaside Bay Bundle. It is a stamp and Dies bundle with quite a lot of both included. To keep this card fairly simple, I only used the Clam shell. It is stamped and die cut using Sahara Sand ink. The sentiment is from the set also. It is stamped and cut using the Layering Circles Dies.
Do you notice the shine inside the clam shell? This is a wonderful bonus! There are Flat Adhesive Pearls in this Suite of products. They are so perfect , as well as add bling, to this set. I love them!!
Papers
There are more than normal papers on this card. The card base is Night of Navy card stock with a layer of Sahara Sand. Next is a layer of Vellum that I wadded up in my hand and then spread back out. I like the marks the creases leave. It gives some added definition and texture to the card.
For the next layer I went with Balmy Blue to bring out the water color in the shells. The DSP of shells is from the By The Bay Designer Series Paper. This is a 6X6 pack of paper that has quite a lot of metallic to it. And a lot of beachy themes. The last paper is the Decorative Circle Punch piece. It is a back side of one of the papers included in Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. This piece was on my desk and I happened to see this textured pink look. It was perfect for this card.
