I realized as I was typing this post that I am using the Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper two posts in a row. Sorry about that. But it may give you ideas of your own for this gorgeous paper.
The shades of green in this sheet of the DSP is just WOW! And I love the specks of Soft Suede thrown in. I had to layer the Soft Suede to help those specks pop a bit more. The shading on the tree is from the stamp itself. I love that Stampin’ Up! has done this effect on several stamp sets. It is like you used two step stamping but really didn’t need to. A win for sure.
The tag on the tree is from the Cup Of Cheer Dies. The perfect layering is one of my favorites. I simply added the little bow using a couple of strands of the Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot. I would be lost without the glue dots.
I have listed all of the supplies at the bottom of the post. If you shop with me and spend under $150.00, please use the Host Code below. Any order of $50.00 and over in product will receive a small gift from me. And don’t forget the DSP Sale! All of the DSP choices that are included in the sale are listed on the flyer below.

Happy Monday to you! I have a really simple gift card holder to share today. I saw a sign over the weekend at a craft fair that said it was only something like 14 weekends until Christmas. Oh My!! Of course this gift card holder could be made for any occasion. The one I have made is a birthday one.
It took me a bit but I now really like this Mosaic Mood Designer Series paper. I love the texture of how it feels and looks. And here is the inside of the card.
As you can see, both the outside and the inside are really simple. The hardest part was deciding to put the ribbon just as an outside wrap that slides off. I originally was going to run it underneath the top layer. Then I thought of bow difficulties, etc. So went with it as just a band.
Directions:
Card base measures 4 X 9 3/4, scored at 3 1/4 and 6 1/2
From the top of the 6 1/2 score, cut diagonally to the bottom right edge.
Fold and burnish all of the score lines. Fold the angle to the inside and secure Only At The Bottom with Tear & Tape.
The inside layer is 3 X 3 3/4
The Front base layer is 3 X 3 3/4 and the DSP is 2 7/8 X 3 5/8
I started with a 15″ piece of Petal Pink Organdy Ribbon. Wrap it somewhat loosely around the card and tie a know. Trim ends.
Stamp the sentiment ,which is from #Elfie, and punch with the 1″ Circle Punch.
Punch the background with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch.
Use a handheld hole punch to make a hole at the top of the circle layers and run a piece of Linen Thread through it.
Wrap the linen thread around the Petal Pink Ribbon underneath one of the ribbon ends. Pull tightly, tie a knot, and trim the knot very close.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will give this gift card a try. This is one that would be great to have in a variety of colors just to have on hand.
Even thought I mentioned most products in the directions, I have them listed at the bottom of the page and that will take you to my On Line store. My September Host Code is listed below. Don’t forget that the DSP sale is going on right now! WooHoo.

It is no where near ready to snow here in Georgia! Sadly we are still in the 90s here. But…..having received my pre-order of the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper and the Snowman Season stamp set, I could not wait to give it a try. I am pretending it is cool weather.
I really do like the different colors in this pack of DSP. There is Real Red and Shaded Spruce in it. But there are also Coastal Cabana and Flirty Flamingo as well. I love these. This sheet of paper is a perfect balance for me.
The snowman looks like he is having a blast playing in the snow. I colored him with the Stampin’ Blends in Light colors. I added the Real Red for the sentiment and then thought it needed “something”. So I used the Splatter technique with the Stampin’ Write Marker to Flick color onto the white layer. That made me happy!
Thank you for coming by today. I hope you will return again on Monday for more new projects.
Measurements:
Base layer is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 folded in half
Flamingo layer is 5 1/4 X 4
DSP layer is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
Sentiment background is 3 1/8 X 3 1/8
White layer is 3 X 3

I have a #simplestamping type card today. It is just paper and ink with a little bow added. You know how I love designer series paper. This card uses those leftover pieces that you may think are too small to use.
I have said several times how much I love the 2019-2021 InColor DSP. My love of the paper resulted in quite a few of these little strips. So I decided to make them the focal point of a Thank You card for a sweet friend.
I chose the A Big Thank You stamp set. The fonts and sentiments are wonderful. I used the small heart to give a border down the side. It is stamped in Rococo Rose Ink on the card stock. The sentiment is from the same set and is backed by a different scrap of the DSP.
The only additional thing I added was the little bow. It is the Thick Whisper White Baker’s Twine that I attached using a glue dot.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I have had some issues with the email version of my post the last two days. That should be fixed now thanks to the wonderful Brian Watt at Integrant Services!!
Measurements:
Base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2
sentiment layer is 1 7/8 X 1 3/8 for DSP and 1 3/4 X 1 1/4 for Whisper White
The strips are 2 @ 1/2 X 4 1/2, and 1 @ 1/2 X 4

Happy New Catalog Day!! Today is the launch of the Holiday Catalog. WooHoo!! I love the suites and products. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, the Designer Series Paper Special begins today. I have a picture under Updates at the bottom which lists the papers on sale.
Now on to today’s project. I am sharing one of the new Designer Series Papers from the Holiday Catalog on this card.
I adore this DSP!! It is photos on one side and silver designs on the opposite side. I used my current favorite color of Seaside Spray for the base as well as the New Metallic Ribbon in Seaside Spray. The ribbon is in the Holiday Catalog as well.
The card is an idea I got from seeing a money envelope at the Dollar Tree. I did not measure it, I should have!! But I just played with it until I liked the angles. I am working on my first video and it is this angle. I will go ahead and try to explain so you can recreate it.
Directions:
The base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 3 3/4 and 7 3/4. Fold and burnish on the score lines.
The shorter of the ends will be the top. Fold the bottom up and leave the top out flat.
Place the score line of the top on the 1″ mark of your cutter, and place the opposite point in the cutting groove. (You have to slide it away from the top bar to have room for the folded card to lay.
When you cut this, you create the angle. Even though it was from the 1″, the distance down on the short side is actually 1 1/8″. I have no idea why that is, but it works out.
Cut DSP to 3 5/8 X 4 1/8 for bottom and 3 X 4 1/8 for top angle.
With the top DSP, place it with the top against the top bar of the cutter, turn it counterclockwise and place it at the 1″ mark. Make a tick mark just beyond the cutting track on the edge of the paper. (This way you cut you are cutting just to the left of the tick mark and it will be cut away.) Now place the tick mark in the cutting track and also the opposite corner. Make your cut. This will fit perfectly on the angle flap.
I hope these directions are clear enough. I will try to have the video very soon. I think this is a super cute card and can be adjusted to different sizes once you have the basics.
Thanks for checking in today and I hope you are enjoying the new catalog. Please come back tomorrow.

I apologize for being so late posting today. It has been a crazy morning. But it has allowed me to update my blog with the DSP Sale Flyer! WooHoo! This is one of my favorite times of the year. It is the very popular Buy 3, and Get 1 Free on Select Designer Series Paper. The flyer is at the end of the post so you can see which ones to choose from. My September Host Code is at the bottom as well.
Another AWESOME bit of news is tomorrow is the beginning of the Holiday Catalog! I cannot wait for you to be able to order these wonderful items. I want it all!!
Now on to today’s project. It is a Happy card, and great for showers of any kind.
I love this stamp set! It is the Birthday Goodness set that has donuts and macarons. What is not to LOVE?? I wanted to do a variety of colors because I love the different flavors of macarons. However, the choice of paper made me settle on just two.
I chose the Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow to go with the Daffodil Delight roses. The designer series paper is a reverse side of one of the Magnolia Lane DSP.
The adorable ribbon combo is actually a Ribbon Combo (HaHa!) from the Magnolia Suite of products. It is Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo and is the great linen like ribbon with a Mossy Meadow Baker’s Twine to match.
Thank you for checking in today. Be sure and check out the DSP Sale the starts tomorrow and add it to your list from the Holiday Catalog. If you do not have a Holiday Catalog and would like one, please contact me and I will get one to you.

I have what I consider a very Clean card to share today. To me, Clean means it doesn’t have much going on. I kept looking at the card wondering what it needed or what I should add. I didn’t want to leave it like this. But then I decided anything I added would not work. So here is a bit of a different look for me.
Can you believe there is No Designer Series Paper? I was shocked myself! LOL!!! I have been intending to use this die for some time. I saw another card with the flowers created as I have done. I apologize that I cannot remember who created it!! But ever since then I have wanted to do this.
Creating the added color in the flower is very simple. I cut the design from the top layer in the Bermuda Bay Card Stock. I pushed out and saved all of the petals. I then did the same with a piece of So Saffron Card Stock. I adhered the top layer to the card base. ( I do love the look of Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay!) All I did to adhere the petals was put just a dot of Multipurpose Glue in the slot and lay the petal inside. I had my paper piercer ready in case I needed to slide the petal around at all.
The sentiment really hit home with me. I have been trying to grow my Stampin’ Up! Team and have friends who tell me that I can do it. One especially is helping me come out of my “norm” and be more creative in my plans, so this sentiment was spoke to me. I layered the Story Label and Timeless Label punches.
The only accessories that I added for this card was the pearls at the center of each flower. I felt like it needed more but just couldn’t think of anything that would Help, as opposed to being Too Much. So here you have it. A Clean card from me.
Thank you for stopping in today. I know it is a Holiday and some of you will be working anyway. I had one of those jobs that didn’t take off for weekends and Holidays. I hope you all have a good day though.

Yesterday’s card was “Hey There” and today is “Hello There”. I did not purposely make these matching cards. And they do not look anything alike, so there is that difference.
This card is a 4 X 4 card that is intended as either a Birthday Card or a Gift Card. It would work for either. I like doing square cards in that it makes cutting the paper super easy. Plus it gives a different look to a common layout.
All of the stamps are from the I Say Hello stamp set. I stamped the Hello There box in Pretty Peacock and then added the bow on top using Rococo Rose. To get the candles to sit properly, I made a mask of the bow out of copy paper. The thinner paper keeps the stamp from leaving an open area between the mask and your stamping.
Thank you again for visiting today. I hope you have a great weekend and will return on Monday. Even though it is a Holiday, I plan on having a project to share. Being retired is like constant holidays and weekends! 🙂

Fall is on my mind! Not that the weather here in Georgia feels like fall, Oh My!!! But, I have another Fall card to share with you today. This one uses , as I am prone to do, the back side of a Designer Series Paper that you would not say is Fall.
I think this Linen Look DSP is gorgeous. Even with the photo, it seems you could reach out and touch it. Surprisingly it is from the Pressed Petals DSP. Several of the pages have a linen look in the background. This sheet is all linen look.
I paired the gorgeous DSP with the Harvest Hellos Bundle. It has the Apple Builder Punch and the apple and/ or pumpkin in the stamp set. The pumpkins behind are stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and colored with Pumpkin Pie stampin’ Blends. The front pumpkin is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock.
The cute little “Hey There” tag is from the stamp set as well. It says “Hey There, Pumpkin”. I did not want to use all of that. To omit what I did not want, I inked the Hey There with a Black Stampin’ Write Marker. (It is the only marker you can buy individually). I stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch. I fed the end back into the punch to make the banner end.
Thank you for stopping in today! I hope you will come again tomorrow before the long Holiday weekend. Remember that Saturday is the last day to take advantage of this Join Promotion for Stampin’ Up!

I am sharing more of Stampin’ Up!s beautiful Designer Series Paper today. And I have added some gorgeous dies that you will really want to use for Fall. Fall is right around the corner, and then holidays, Oh My!!! But let’s start with Fall.
And here is the side view of the Double Z Fold.
I love how this card stands so perfectly. I made one of these cards almost a year ago. You can view that card HERE. It was a Fall card as well.
I used the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper for this card. I paired it with Merry Merlot Card Stock, but then added the Thick Whisper White to brighten it a bit. The white leaves are cut from the Seasonal Layers Dies. The sentiment I chose , which is from the Waterfront set, fit perfectly in the one. The solid Cajun Craze leaves are from the Gathered Leaves Dies in the upcoming Holiday catalog. They are a die and embossed at the same time type die. I LOVE them!!
The only extras I added were the Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon and the one Holiday Rhinestone on the bottom white leaf. I felt it needed a touch of bling.
I hope you liked today’s project. And I hope you will return tomorrow. I have the measurements listed just below here and the supplies are at the bottom of the post.
Measurements: NOTE: the measurements for the linked card are a tad different.
Base 4 1/4 X 11 folded in half
