My project to share with you is a seriously quick and a bit of the unusual for me. I have only the sentiment as the stamping on the front of the card.
PAPERS
The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper is the reason for so little actual stamping. Not only is the striped DSP from that pack, but so is the colorful balloon bundle. There are actually two options for this DSP. One is only the DSP and the other is the DSP plus the sticker sheet. This is from the sticker sheet. I normally prefer to do my stamping instead of precut / colored images. However the sticker sheet in this pack of paper is over the top in terms of color and beauty. In fact the entire pack of paper is probably the prettiest I can remember in a while.
This background sheet of DSP, along with the balloons could be for a birthday, baby shower, or any celebration. I love the soft colors even though I am a Brights person normally. For this card I paired the stripes with the Soft Sea Foam card base and then added the sentiment on a strip of Pretty In Pink.
STAMPS
The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park stamp set. With the smaller size of the fonts here I think it is a good one for inside and front sentiments. To draw a little more attention to the sentiment I flagged the ends with my Paper Snips. I actually raised it with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed it over the knot in the strings of the balloons.
EXTRAS
To compliment all of the soft colors already existing on the card I kept the bling soft as well. These are from the Party Dots embellishments. They actually are part of the suite of products this DSP is included in. There are three different colors of dots with two different sizes of each. I did one of each color in the larger size.

There are only two days left in Sale-A-Bration. Today and tomorrow and it will be over for this year. My project today has two of the SAB items included. There is a peek at an upcoming item paired with my new favorite layering Dies. Woohoo!!
There is an inside view as well. I am bad about creating cards and leaving the inside blank. But this one had the perfect pairing included in the stamp set.
STAMPS
This extremely fun stamp set is called Arched Wishes. It pairs with the Everyday Arches stamp set and Bundle. But this one is an add on. Right now it is a preorder for demonstrators. However it goes live the beginning of March in the OnlineExclusives. I have mentioned all of the fabulous stamps and bundles that are new this coming month! Please check them out.
The stamps used on this project are all included in the Arched Wishes stamp set. You know I love one set cards and this one is awesome. There are no matching Dies, so the cupcake is fussy cut. Most of it is straight lines, so it is really easy to do. It is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. The candle is Pumpkin Pie with the flame highlighted with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
The inside sentiment and balloon are also in the set. I added the sprinkle looking details with Granny Apple Green after coloring the balloon with Melon Mambo again. The simple script of the Happy Birthday is a good one. I will be using that stamp often in my birthday cards.
DIES
The arched shape front layer is from my new favorite layering Dies set Everyday Arches. I forgot to double check, but it may be the largest of the Dies. I like these Dies for their versatility. The sizes are great. This could be made into a card by not cutting the top section and there are various layering possibilities. My brain immediately saw a window or door. When I travel to Europe I take a ton of photos of their doors. They are large and ornate or simply painted a bright color. This shape reminds me of that.
PAPERS
The bright colors included on the card are pulled from the DSP you see from behind the arch. It is hidden more than I like, but still the brightness pops out. This sheet is from the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper that is a SAB choice. The Granny Apple Green card base is one of the included colors as is Melon Mambo. But the Melon Mambo with the DSP seemed to blend to much. I wanted Pop!
EXTRAS
This card is all about bright and popping out. So to complete that look I used the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins that are also a SAB choice. They have quite a lot of shine to them. I chose to scatter more than my normal one or three. The white space could take it and the happy cupcake seemed to like the extra bling.

First thing today I have a reminder about Sale-A-Bration! This is the last few days to get these items at no cost! And there are a few of the second release products that are active in catalogs right now. What a bonus! So don’t miss out. And reach out to me if you have any questions.
Today I am sharing the Spring Corners Bundle and pairing it with a beautiful DSP from SAB. This is one of the fabulous products from this last release of Online Products. They are fun and exciting stamp sets with matching Dies. Plus more are coming in March. The bright Sale-A-Bration DSP pairs perfectly with this fun stamp set.
STAMPS& DIES
The Spring Corners Bundle has a couple of corner sentiments in addition to images that pair with those sentiments. For the front of the I had to use one of the corner sentiments. I think that is such a refreshing idea. And then the group of balloons reinforces the “amazing day” idea.
These stampings are done with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink . Then the balloons are colored using Stampin’ Blends. Those colors are pulled form the DSP. This gave me all kinds of color options. So I chose Melon Mambo, Peach Pie, and Shy Shamrock for the balloon colors. These balloons are also stamped on the inside of the card along with a Happy Birthday. For the front the balloons are Die cut with a matching Die. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals under the balloons for depth, but left the bottom free. That allows the bow to sit a little bit flatter.
PAPERS
This unusual mix of cardstock colors are both pulled from the floral piece of DSP. I have been on a Blueberry Bushel kick of late and continued that here. It is just a bright and happy blue. Then to soften things for the DSP pieces, I went with Peach Pie for the layer. It acts as the leading in the stain glass pieced top layer.
The DSP is from the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration. I love these flowers. They are a mix of Brights but with almost all of the color families represented. This makes it so simple to create a variety of cards using different card bases.
The top layer is created with a piece of Peach Pie measuring 4 X 5 1/4. The DSP is all 1″ widths. The top left is 1 X 1, the floral piece is 1 X 4, and the bottom one is 2 3/4 X 1. (Always be careful with your cutting if using directional paper! ) Then the Basic White section is 2 3/4 X 4 to stamp the sentiment.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras, bling and sweet ribbon. The ribbon is the new Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. I love this narrow ribbon. It is a breeze to tie a bow with. And then of course bling. Today I chose to use Rhinestones. A sparkle is always needed for a celebration.
Here is the inside view of the card.

My card to share today is a quick and easy one that showcases a sweet embossing folder. The rest of the card falls under the #simplestamping profile. It is a pretty one to make multiples of as well.
EMBOSSING
The dry embossed layer is one of several focal points to me. I love the look that embossing folders can add to a very simple card. The one I have used is the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. Those little flowers look good with most anything. Embossing is an alternative to using DSP as a layer, or stamping a background layer. For this card there are any number of different embossing folders that would have worked just as well. I hope you will give your embossing folders a second look as I have.
STAMPS
This bold sentiment is from the fun With You In Mind stamp set. It is a stand alone set that offers bold sentiments like this one for birthday, best wishes, thank you and thinking of you. Plus the addition of the small icon stamps to boost your sentiment. And it is only $20.00 for a nice group of stamps.
The Happy Birthday is one single stamp. Again, I love the mix of fonts. Those always get a second look from me. I used the cupcake stamp twice. One is full strength ink and the other is stamped off. Plus I added a second of the icon stamps in the heart. It was chosen to add more to sentiment, but to also tie in a touch of blue from the DSP strips.
PAPERS
To pick the predominant paper from this card is difficult. The DSP strips are what designated the other colors so I will begin there. These strips are from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It is a 6×6 pack of fun colors that all have the bokeh dots or the more ink splatter look. The two outside strips are the ink splatter as I call it. And the center one is the Bokeh. These are the two sides of one sheet, so you can choose as you see fit. These strips measure 1 X 3.
The card base is Berry Burst from the bokeh sheet. And the embossed layer is Fresh Freesia from the splatter side. These pair great together. I could have added a Balmy Blue but thought just the blue heart was sufficient to highlight it.
EXTRAS
There are various Extras all over this card. First is the Frayed White Ribbon. It grounds the floating sentiment. Then there are the two cupcakes which are fussy cut and added to the opposite corners of the sentiment. And finally I have added a scattering of the Iridescent Pearls to some of the embossed flowers for the bling!

I have a wonderful Fun Fold to share with you today. Not only is the fold great, but I have used the fabulous birthday DSP that partners with the Birthday Celebration bundle and Suite. These are all products that will make you smile!
The card is in a stand for photographing so I could get it sort of flat. I could not get the proper angle with it standing on it’s own. Here is a look at it open to see the inside as well as more of the side strips of DSP.
STAMPS& DIES
There are actually only three stamps used from the Birthday Celebration stamp set. And they are beautifully scripted. That is always something I look for. I love different fonts. These are probably some of my all time favorites in terms of bold and beautifully done. Both the inside and the front are stamped using Blueberry Bushel Ink. And the banner strip on the inside is stamped using Wild Wheat Ink. I am so going to miss that color when the In Colors change this Summer. That is my go to for a Gold stamping.
The only Die used is the tag on the front. It is also from the Birthday Celebration Bundle. I was thrilled when I realized it fit the sentiment plus added a great layer to the front of the card. And it shows that Blueberry Ink is a good pairing with Pool Party card stock. I called this a tag, when it really is not. There are no holes in this Die. It is designed to make multiple banners for the birthday celebration. As you can see though it works great as a single layer!
PAPERS
The star of the card is this gorgeous DSP. All of the sheets used are from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. This is not just pretty paper. But half of the sheets have gold foil details. You can see on the front with the cakes. And also on the Pool Party strip on the inside with the scallops of gold. There is a second of that strip on the left hand side that you cannot see the way I photographed. The pink check strips are a reverse side of another sheet.
To pair the Blueberry Bushel with the cake sheet really pulls the blue to the forefront. If you follow me I shared a previous card using one of the floral sheets and paired it with Blueberry Bushel as well. It is a perfect match and I could not resist doing it again. Here is a view of the previous card. https://jackiebeers.com/2025/01/banner-window-card/ The Pool Party Banner card stock is pulled from the paper also. And of course I cannot forget the Basic White inside layer.
EXTRAS
This fun card is a CASE of the Fun Fold from Connie Stewart. She called it Vertical Free Standing and has a video. I have a link to my project sheet with basic directions below.
The need for bling on this card was minimal with all of the gold foil in the DSP. I did use the Gold Twisted Thread for the bow of the banner on the front. It needed a bit more attention. And I added a single gold dot from the Low-Profile Dots.

Plaids are a pattern that should fit anyone. At least that is my view of the gorgeous plaid DSP Stampin’ Up! currently has. Add this to a simple fun fold card and I think you have a winner. A different shape of the sentiment is the cherry on top of the cake!
STAMPS
The star of this card is hard to define. There are three different options. But I am beginning with the sentiment. This one is from the stamp set that is a must have for sentiments. It is the So Sincere set. I love the vertical Happy Birthday! The layout of the card fits that vertical perfectly. I sometimes look for these and of course do not find them. There should be a vertical sentiment stamp set of the most common sentiments I believe.
The inside sentiment is also from the So Sincere stamp set. That is really an added bonus. I tend to mix and match. But I love having a pair in one set. Here is the open view of the card.
PAPERS
This beautiful plaid DSP is from the Timeless Plaids Designer Series Paper. I really love the colors in this sheet. And all of the plaids are really nice matching colors. The checkerboard on the front strip is the reverse of this piece, I believe. Sorry but I made this card last week for a class and my memory is shorter every day! 🙂 The best part of this paper pack is there are plaids to fit anyone.
The card base is Basic Beige cardstock. This cardstock is so pretty and versatile. It is a soft color in my book. I did pair it with Very Vanilla for the sentiment and the inside. But I could have simply used the Basic Beige there as well. It is light enough to stamp on easily.
DIES
There are two different Die sets used here. That perfect long oval for the sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season Die set. I love that long oval and the fact it fit the sentiment perfectly is just a bonus.
The second Die set used is the Changing Leaves Dies. These are the leaves on the front. There are two leaves attached and one single. The details are great and they add just enough texture to the card. These Dies come with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. Both of these Die sets are on the Last Chance List. This means that they are retired when the last ones are sold.
EXTRAS
The single bling today is unusual of course. If you follow my posts then you know I love bling. Today I restrained myself and used the single Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. These are a mix of four different colors of mostly earth tone. This one is black sparkle. It could be elegant or rustic. The placement is important because all of the Greetings of the Season Dies are all tags. My black sparkle dot covers that tag hole!
