Today’s card showcases the Translucent Florals Bundle. This bundle is really fabulous and I am thrilled to say that it is carrying over!
Bundle
The Translucent Florals Bundle is really beautiful images with well scripted common sentiments. It is going to carrying over , however the bundled price will not carry over. So if this is on your Wish List, it is 10% less now as a bundle.
To create this card, I stamped the two flowers and the large leaves image using Soft Sea Foam Ink. And it is stamped on Vellum card stock. Sadly, this is not really clear in the photo. At least it does not stand out well. In person, it is much more apparent. But I still love the look this created. And I failed to mention that it is a Fun Fold. 🙂
Sentiment
There is not a front sentiment on this card which I have done a couple of times recently. This is really shocking and I did not even realize it. LOL!!! However the inside sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set. It’s simplicity goes well with the card.
Papers
The card base is Lost Lagoon with layers of different pages of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I still love this paper and the patterns and shading it has. Here is the open view of the card.
The Fun Fold opens to show the three different patterns of the DSP. And the simple sentiment. The Basic White layer is a full 4 X 5 1/4 and I simply added the far right DSP piece flush with the top, bottom , and right side. You can see the Vellum card stock a little better from the open view. I will caution you to be careful when stamping on Vellum. It is slick, so carefully stamp and hold the block steady. And it does not dry quickly at all! I let it sit for a few minutes and still used my Heat Tool to make sure it was dry before I did the die cutting. Better safe than sorry!
Finishes
The vellum pieces are attached to the edge of the front fold with Glue Dots strategically placed. Vellum is a bit difficult to adhere since you can see through it. I was careful to hide the glue dot behind the next layer as I added the images. And for the flowers, I added the Glue Dot to the center. Then I finished with a trio of the smallest Blooming Pearls for the flower centers.
Measurements
card base of Lost Lagoon is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. Fold and burnish to create the folds.
DSP layers are all three cut to 2 X 5 1/4
Inside Basic White is 4 X 5 1/4 with the DSP adhered over the right half. * You could cut the Basic White to fit without the DSP over top.

The Autumn Leaves Bundle has been a fabulous Fall and Thanksgiving “go to” for me. But I love the stamped images so much I had to carry it over for a Fall Birthday.
Leaves
The Leaves are the star of this card in my opinion. I actually did not use the Autumn Leaves stamp set, only the Autumn Leaves Dies were used. Two of the little oak leaves were die cut from Copper Clay card stock. I really love the detail the little dies have included. And then a large leaf was cut from Gold Foil paper. It really helps the gold in the papers to pop!
The sentiment layer is also cut using the sentiment die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. This shape is great for so many of the SU sentiments. And there is also one that is more square with similar details included. The sentiment itself is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. It is a simple and bold Happy Birthday.
Papers
The unusual color I pulled from the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is Moody Mauve. I was surprised at how well I like this color here. And yes, I am sad to say the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is gone for good. But as popular as it was, I am sure several of you have it to still use. And if not, there are lots of gorgeous DSP available that could be used with this layout.
The layout I used is one I came up with when looking through the DSP. I chose different papers to showcase and ended with these three and the layout. They are all from the DSP pack. Pairing the Crumb Cake and Moody Mauve was from looking at what seemed to be the dominant colors.
Finishes
The gold foil leaf was a surprisingly good choice to pop! Next came the placement of the two little leaves and they needed something to hold them together. The Bakers Twine was great for this. I made a double bow to stand out a little more. Then the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots were scattered around the sentiment. And yes, they are gone as well.
Layout Measurements
Card base of Moody Mauve is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
Crumb Cake back layer is 5 1/8 X 3 1/8 with wood DSP 5 X 3
Crumb Cake middle layer is 4 1/8 X 2 1/8 with leaves DSP of 4 X 2
Crumb Cake bottom layer is 4 1/8 X 1 5/8 with metallic DSP of 4 X 1 1/2

The card I have to share with you today is one that appears to be created by torn paper. In fact that is the case. Except the paper is produced from the talents of Stampin’ Up!s creative artists who did actually tear paper. I love the look it gives.
Papers
The card layers to this card are mostly from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. One of the Stampin’ Up! artists created this paper. She is obviously very talented. It is one of my favorites. And to prove that I used three different patterns from the pack.
The card base is Pretty Peacock to match the leaves of the flowers. Then the Basic White layer to help the colors pop. And the Berry Burst is a beautiful color with the white mixed in from the pattern. I added the Lemon Lime Twist for a brightness and to help the flowers really stand out. Finally the flowers are cut from the Berry Burst piece with the leaves from a third sheet of the paper.
Dies and Stamps
The flowers and leaves are cut using the Timeless Charm Dies. (I also used the stamps for the inside sentiment) I love these flowers and leaves. And with the different shades of green from the paper, it really helps them to pop! NOTE: I apologize. This card was made a little while ago and now the dies have sold out. It was/is an Online Exclusive. The stamp set is still available but not the dies. However there are several floral dies that would work just as well. Sorry!!
The sentiment is simple but one I use regularly. This Happy Birthday is the perfect size for the front of a card. It is from the Go To Greetings set. There are a few sentiments in different sizes. I really love that. And to finish the card I added three of the Iridescent Discs. These are great because they are flat. So no added bulk in the envelope when mailing.
Thank you for stopping in today!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

The card I am sharing today is a multi-fold that showcases some of the beautiful Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper. It is paired with the Cheers To The Season set.
The Folds
The front of the card looks fairly plain. And ended up a tad brighter than I originally planned. But it gets better with the other folds!
Now you can see the gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper! It will be available for you to order soon!
Papers
This fold is one that came about as I was making it. And I failed to write down all of the measurements. The card base is 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4, and then 2″ cut off the front. The inside “card. was cut to fit after I added the Crushed Curry back and front layers. It is intended to look like an additional layer. (Check the first photo). So take that measurement and make it twice as wide to fold over. Sorry about not writing things down!
The papers, besides the DSP, were pulled from the DSP. I used Cherry Cobbler for the base and then Crushed Curry layers. The front disguises the pretty inside of the card. My goal was for the opening to be a bit of an unexpected surprise. I cut the DSP to continue the scene across the layers.
Stamps and Dies
There are a variety of stamp sets used on this card. The front panel is cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies to highlight the Cheers wine glass. That stamp is from the Cheers To The Season set. It is a favorite for it’s solid images for Thanksgiving/Fall, Christmas, and this wine glass for New Year or any time.
The front For You tag is from the Country Bouquet stamp set. I needed something small for a tag and this one worked perfectly. It is punched using the Best Label Punch. The little corner cuts are a great touch on a small tag. And the background is a scrap of the DSP.
The inside sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set. I love the mix of fonts as well as the fun sentiment. Being late on cards is a special talent of mine! LOL!!
Finishes
The finishes on this card are pretty simple. The ribbon for the tag is the Sweet Sorbet Woven Metallic Ribbon. This is last year’s In Colors and I used these ribbons regularly. They are very easy to tie a bow with and give just enough sparkle to a card. The other finishes is some additional Bling! I used the Iridescent Pearls and colored two of the three with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

The card I am sharing today is one I made for a long time friend. This one is a fishing card that only required the Let’s Go Fishing DSP to make. That is a winner!
Papers
This card is all about the DSP! The Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper has some beautiful pieces. They include any fishing item, as well as ones like this fun plaid. I used three of the different pieces. Actually four with the plaid background. Scraps can really be our friend!
The background on all of the papers is Very Vanilla. So I began with a Thick Very Vanilla card stock. And even though the papers all have the Wild Wheat, I was pulled to the Boho Blue really popping from the two more colorful pieces. That became my layers to brighten up the card.
Stamp and Punch
The only stamping you see on the front of the card is the simple greeting. This greeting is from Go To Greetings. That set has the most common sentiments in different sizes and fonts. I love this simple, and smaller, Happy Birthday. It is emphasized with the Happy Labels Punch for the background layer and the sentiment layer. A little bit of detail is all that is required.
Finishes
There is no bling on this card!!! I know those of you that are regular followers are shocked. But, I did add extra touches. The Bakers Twine is wrapped around the sentiment layers with a fish attached. I fussy cut the fish from a piece of the paper on the left side. It was an easy and simple touch to replace bling on a man card.
Layout
The card base is 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4 with a top fold. The Boho Blue layer is 5 1/4 X 4 and the plaid DSP is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. The layers are 1 3/8 X 3 1/2 for the Boho Blue. All three are the same size. And the DSP pieces are all three cut 1 1/4 X 3 3/8.

The fun Curved Occasions stamp set is a unique mix of images and sentiments. I have used it today to create a birthday card with Vintage items. That sounds so much better than Old!!!
Stamp Set
The Curved Occasions set has this cute little VW Bug convertible. Anyone of my age group loved those cars. So it had to be the star of this card. And the disco ball, that’s just a given! LOL!!! I wanted to use the roller skate because I actually roller skated competitively in my early days. It would have been a great pairing of transportation from the time. 🙂 But the person the card is for did not skate, so the disco ball gets to be the second piece of nostalgia.
The little bug is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. And the disco ball is stamped with Smoky Slate. It is a littler duller than the flashy original balls but that was the best I could do. And again, this is a one stamp set card!
Papers
The papers used were blues to go along with the color of the bug. I found this perfect DSP in the Stargazing Designer Series Papers. It is the reverse side of one of the galaxy looking sheets. The brightness of the Azure Afternoon stars was a perfect match. And pairing it with the Azure Afternoon card base tied everything together. Of course I had to add just the thin layer of Basic White to separate the blues as well as help the focal White layer blend in.
