For a quick and easy card the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is a perfect fit. I have used one of the pages full of roses for today’s card. A little bit can be all you need for a wonderful card.
STAMPS
This beautifully scripted “birthday wishes” is a perfect match for this simple card. When there is a large image on the paper, or stamped, it only requires a suitably sized sentiment to complete it. This ones is from the Simply Said stamp set. It is an all sentiments set that has a little bit of everything included in it. I love having these type sets on hand. You can see all of the sentiments in the supply list image of the set.
EMBOSSING
The very detailed background I have used was made with the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder. This is a giant size folder. It could be used with scrapbooking as well as card making. I used a half sheet of cardstock and only had to trim a 1/8″ piece from the end that was not embossed. By using a half sheet, you have enough for two card fronts like I have, or multiple strips. I really love the rough detail this adds for the background.
PAPERS
There are several details to this card, but I believe these roses are the stars. As I said at the introduction, these are from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. Best of all, it only takes a strip to create a card as I have. I know flowers do not grow blue in nature, but I have always loved blue flowers. These are not really blue, just have shades of maybe the Cloud Cover. I still think they are beautiful.
To add to the blues of the card, I used Misty Moonlight for the card base and the rose layer. Then after having the roses against the Misty Moonlight, I really saw the Cloud Cover shades. So that is what was used for the embossed layer.
EXTRAS
There are three Extras today. First is the Nested Essentials Dies for the sentiment layer. These are such a versatile Die set with the rounded rectangle, a banner, and the Tie shape. All have several layers with each. For the second Extra, I added a single Rhinestone gem to the sentiment. And the final Extra is the Cloud Cover Ribbon. Just a strip around the roses and tied in a knot was all it needed to finish.

I am remaking a Latch card from a few weeks ago. I love the simplicity of the Latch, which makes this card a Fun Fold. And playing with different looks due to the DSP choice is so fun. Today I have Daisies.
And here is the open view:
STAMPS& DIES
The stamped flowers for this card are from the Impressions Abloom Bundle. I love how they mimic the paper so well. And actually do not match this DSP. The best part is the matching Dies. I stamped the flowers using Crushed Curry for the definition part, then Daffodil Delight for the large flower, and Pecan Pie for the center.
Here I used two small flowers and one of the larger one, but all are stamped the same way and then Die cut. For the extra leaves, I simply Die Cut on Old Olive cardstock. The detail to the leaves from the Die is fabulous. And it seems to add a bit more definition to the front layer.
The sentiments are a sad thing however. I messed up and used a set that is sold out. It is the Hooray For Surprises stamp set. If you already have it, then yay! It is a great sentiment stamp set. And the Dies are still available.
PAPERS
The real star of this card is the DSP. I used Four different designs from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. They all coordinate so well. I love using a mix of papers. For the base I used Old Olive to stand out from all of the yellow.
This is a simple Fun Fold and does not require much extra. The base is 8 1/2 X 4 1/4 and scored at 3. The front layer can be basically any size you want as long as it reaches the “latch”. For the latch, you need the card base color at 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 and the DSP is 2 X 2. Both are cut on the diagonal. And you only need the one so you have the beginning of a second card. The long side of the triangle is glued to the edge of the card base and you are complete!
EXTRAS
This card only has one Extra, except for the Fun Fold latch. I added a simple Brushed Brass Butterfly on the front layer. It goes wonderfully with all of the flowers.
JUNE SPECIAL SALE and it is an awesome one!
The key to making this Sale so special is the 50% off, and that it is not only the Suites but the Suite Products! I will be posting ideas for getting the most bang for your buck in the next day or so.

I had fun playing with Circle Punches today. There was a card similar to this I had saved from a while back. For a Club card I wanted a fun and simple card. This I believe fit the bill.
STAMPS
There are two different stamp sets used on the front of the card. The sentiment is a really fun way to wish a Happy Birthday. It is from a new, and stand alone, stamp set named Encircled With Love. It does coordinate, but not bundled together, with the New Circle Punch that is 1 7/8″. But it is not available yet. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea Ink to coordinate with the background DSP.
The second stamp used are the trio of balloons. I have used these balloons several times as they are just perfect for celebrations. They are part of the Spring Corners Bundle that is an Online Exclusive. They are used again on the inside along with a sentiment from that set. Here is a look at the inside.
Dies, Punches, & Embossing
As I mentioned regarding stamps, I have used the matching Die from the Spring Corners Bundle to cut the balloons for the front of the card. The other front layers are from Punches. The circles are created with both the 2″ Circle Punch and the 1 3/4 Circle Punch. Both of these are available as Online Exclusives
To add more texture to the card, I added some dry embossing. The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder is one that goes with almost any project. I was so happy when it carried over to the new catalog.
PAPERS
This color scheme is one I was very happy to have stumbled upon. The Pretty In Pink has become a go to for pink. And pairing it with the new Secret Sea is a great match. This new color is versatile. It looks black, or maybe dark navy, or a little grayish. Definitely there are varying shades depending on what it is paired with. I love it! I did add the new Cloud Cover as a color for one of the balloons as it is the light color in the DSP.
EXTRAS
The last Extra is of course the bling. There have been a lot of extras mentioned, but the bling is always important. For this one I added some that I love and then discovered they have sold out. So Sad. 🙁 These are the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I used the matching ones for Pretty In PInk on the dark circle.

I have made a card to share that includes the Belated Birthday sentiment. Sadly I need these more often now adays! Even with all of my calendars showing birthdays. So I was thrilled that the new Coneflower Celebrations stamp set includes this.
STAMPS & DIES
This large flower is wonderful. I thought it was a daisy, but Stampin’ Up! is calling it a Coneflower. And it is part of the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle. As you can see the Dies cut the flower and a large stem. There is a Die that cuts a foldable flower, which matches the stamp. I used the stamp and the single Die. And as you see they do not align properly. Oops on me. But I liked the different detail it shows so went with it.
The sentiment is one I know I will use quite a lot. As I mentioned at the top, I tend to be behind on getting birthday cards out even though I make them all the time. LOL!!! I went with Strawberry Slush to stamp the sentiment as I did the flower. Then I simply fussy cut the sentiment to add over the stem.
PAPERS
This soft background DSP is the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. I really love these papers. They cover quite a lot of the SU colors in wonderful soft circles. Even though I used Darling Duckling and Strawberry Slush for the flower, you can see those in the paper. And the stem is stamped with Summer Splash onto Soft Sea Foam cardstock which you see also.
The layers are Strawberry Slush for the card base. And Soft Sea Foam for the layer although it is a bit hard to see. Then the soft bokeh as the layer.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. First is the twine bow. This is from the Pack Your Bags Twine 3 pack. I pulled it with the Summer Splash stem to create the bow behind the sentiment. And the Bling is a mixed trio of Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

I have a fun Fancy Fold to share today. This one is a Latch card. It is similar to a Buckle, but I think it is cuter! The Last Chance List is continuing with a lot of products still available. So I have decided to have starring roles for some of those before they are sold out.
This is the closed view with the latch on the right side. And here is the open view.
STAMPBUNDLE
The Wildlfower Designs Bundle is one I have used quite a lot. Probably the stamps more than the Dies. I do love this small flower on the front. This one I have used quite a lot. It is just so simple and cute. I stamped it in the background of the focal layer using Basic Beige Ink for a soft touch. Then again in Basic Gray to color and Die Cut. Raising it with Stampin’ Dimensionals gives it the elevated status it needs. I really hate that this bundle did not carry over. However it is still available right now.
The sentiments, both on the inside and the front, are from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. This set, and matching Dies, are carrying over. But they will no longer be bundled. Both of the sentiments are stamped using Misty Moonlight Ink to match the DSP.
PAPERS
These DSP sheets are both from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. The DSP is carrying over and I am thrilled. This paper is so pretty and the royal shades of the colors just makes me smile. Of course I pulled all of the colors used from the DSP.
The berry looking color is actually Moody Mauve, which is retiring. However, it looks just as good, if not better, with Berry Burst as a pairing color. Since I used the “back” of the blue version of this sheet, I wanted a color that matched both. So Mossy Meadow came to be the card base.
EXTRAS
To finish my card, I needed two Extras. First is the inside layer punch. I did not want to cover either of the DSP layers, so opted for a small sentiment and a small white section. The Labeled With Love Punch was my answer. And for the Bling, I went with the Brushed Brass Butterflies. They seemed perfect for all of the flowers.
MEASUREMENTS
The card base is cut to 8 1/2 X 4 1/4 and is scored at 3. The front layer measures 3 1/3 X 3 and then 3 1/4 X 2 3/4 for the White. For the front DSP it measures 2 3/4 X 4 with the blue inside layer at 5 1/8 X 4. The inside small DSP is 3 3/4 X 2 1/2. To create the “Latch” I used both Mossy Meadow and the DSP. The Mossy Meadow is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 and the DSP is 2 X 2. Cut both of these on the angle, they should line up perfectly. To add to the card, simple add adhesive only along the longest edge and align flush with the right side of the card. Your flap should have room to slide under it. Keep this layer thin so it can bend just a little. I cased this card from Kathy Ondus.

My card for today is a birthday card for a sweet friend. I can share it now as she would have already received it. There are several products mixed together for this one. Two stamp sets, a Die set and some different DSP layers.
STAMPS
There are two stamp sets used here and only two things stamped. LOL!! I only had to stamp the front and inside sentiments. The sentiments are an important part of the card though. I love a fun, pretty font as you know. The front sentiment is from the Poised Peony stamp set. I like the bit of bold and sort of scribbled look. It seems like something I would hand write myself.
The inside sentiment is a really sweet one. And it is a mix of fonts. That is a favorite of mine. It is from the So Sincere stamp set. This is a set that I highly recommend. It is only sentiments and they are really nice ones. I am so thankful for the people I know that bring joy to my heart.
PAPERS
This card is a Fun Fold and there are a few different papers used. The card base is Peach Pie that is 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Fold it into a Z and you have the card base. The top layer is another piece of Peach Pie. I used this since you will see the back of it when it is open. It measures 5 X 3 3/4.
For the front Fun layer, I used a piece of DSP from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. The green is the reverse of the one of the floral pieces. It was the same 5 X 3 3/4 before being Die Cut. The yellow layer is actually another DSP. This one is from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It is a variegated yellow and really soft looking.
To finish this top layer, I fussy cut from a sheet of the Floral Delight some flowers to add on. This is one that was in a corner of the sheet. So I left the left and bottom straight and just did a little fussy cutting around the other sides. The final step was adding the sentiment that was another Die Cut from Basic White.
The inside has the same green DSP as a layer. I wanted to be consistent with my theme. The layer of Basic White has another fussy cut flower from the Floral Delight DSP. It is from a separate sheet and another corner flower.
EXTRAS
The main item of Extra today is the Perennial Postage Dies. I used the two largest for the front layers. The green and the yellow are those large ones. Then I used a smaller one to fit on the side with the sentiment.
For a touch of softness, I added a bow using the Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. It helps highlight the flower shading. And the final Extra is the bling. I was different today and added a straight line of different size bling. These are the new 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. I love them!!! The Darling Duckling is a new yellow that is a little brighter as you can see.
HOST CODE
My FEBRUARY HOST CODE is S2EYAW9N. Orders of $50.00 or more will receive an appreciation gift from me. I appreciate you choosing me as your demonstrator!
