The Sweet Jar Bundle is one I have shared a couple of times already. Today it is featured as a Pop Up. I love Fun Folds and this one is also one I have shared previously. When they are easy and fun it is worth sharing again and with different images.
This paper is gorgeous, but here is the fun part!!
STAMPS
This jar of cookies is a great surprise gift for just about anyone. To begin with this fun image, It is from the Sweet Jar stamp set. The jar is stamped using the new Cloud Cover Ink. (customers cannot purchase the Cloud Cover Ink Pad due to a color issue between ink and the foam of the pad. You can purchase the ink refill and ink a Stampin’ Spot and the ink color is perfect) The cookies are stamped off Crumb Cake with Early Espresso as the chocolate chips. And the lid of the jar is Strawberry Slush. The inside sentiments are also stamped with Strawberry Slush and are from the Sweet Jar set.
The front circle sentiment is from the Encircled With Love stamp set. I do Love this set. It is all circle images with different sentiments for a variety of purposes. A quick circle punch and finished! For this use I stamped the image using Garden Green Ink that is pulled from the DSP. I wanted the front sentiment to pop.
PUNCHES
The circle shapes for the front image are both Circle Punches. However there are a variety of different circles in different Die sets you could use. For example the spotlight on Nature , and Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the 2″ and 1 3/4 ” Circle Punches. There is one in the Annual Catalog that is a match for these circles but it is not available yet. It is the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. This one pairs with a different set, but also coordinates with the Encircled With Love also.
PAPERS
The bright colors of this DSP is fabulous to me! I love Brights. This sheet is from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. As is the flap piece, and the piece beneath the cookie jar. Actually these other prints are the flip side of the floral. The best part is none are very large and you can get multiple cards from one 12 X 12 piece.
To compliment the Floral DSP I went with Strawberry Slush as the card base. I love this returning In Color. It carries that Bright and Cheery feeling. For the layer behind the sentiment, I went a bit softer and chose Flirty Flamingo. It pairs with the lighter shades of flowers in the print.
EXTRAS
The only Extra , other than the Fun Fold, is a single Bling! It is in the center of the circle sentiment on the front. This is the smallest size of the Flower Accents embellishments. If you zoom in you can see how adorable this little gold flower is.
I have shared this Fun Fold previously. You can see that card, and directions by clicking HERE.

The card I have for you today is a fun one. Partly that is due to the DSP and images. And then because it is a Fun Fold. So Let’s “Celebrate” it!
I love the front fold down of this card. And to get an extra greeting is even better. The card still opens as normal for another greeting and a place for you to write. The pull out can be a spot for a gift card or with a sweet personal saying on a bookmark.
Here is the open view:
STAMPS& DIES
These images and sentiments are from the Cheers & Sips Bundle. The matching Die set is great for the little sprig of lavender and glass. Plus there are many more that can be cut. I have made a lemonade with a sprig of lavender as a garnish. Then carried the lavender to both the pull out and the inside layer. All of the sentiments are from the stamp set as well.
The drink glass is stamped using Highland Heather Ink, as well as the ice cubes. Then I used the Light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Write Marker to “scribble” back and forth for the liquid. I like the varied shades and a bit of white to add the drink details. The lavender is stamped using Old Olive Ink and stamped off for a lighter shade. Then the leaves are colored with Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. The flower petals are colored using Light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.
PAPERS
This fun paper is one of the best parts of the card. This shows both sides of a sheet from the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. The DSP is part of a suite of products along with the Cheers & Sips Bundle. I paired the DSP with Timid Tiger as the card base and then Peach Pie as the pocket layer.
To create the pocket I cut the Peach Pie layer to 3 3/4 X 5 and the DSP layer to 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. Place the DSP on the layer in place, but do not adhere. Lay on the paper trimmer and mark with a pencil down 2″ on the right side from the top. Now take them apart and cut the DSP from the mark up to the top left corner. This creates the striped piece on the flap when you turn it over to fit the shape. On the Peach Pie layer, do not cut the same way, but Score from the mark to the upper left corner. Fold that over and you are done. I cased this Fun Fold from creativemomentsbyg.
EXTRAS
To my surprise there is really not Extras! Granted I did add ribbon to the pull out. It is the Fresh Freesia Faux ribbon. It is a perfect solution for the pull since it is a little narrower and thicker than most ribbon.

The card for today is one that is an easy layout. A little stamping and some strips of DSP can create a pretty card for any occasion. The one I have made is a more masculine Thanks. I hope you will give this layout a try.
STAMPS
These two stamps are from the same great stamp set. It is the Textured Notes stamp set. And it includes Dies that can be bundled. I know you are familiar with them if you follow me, because I use those Dies regularly. They are the rectangles that all have a different edge detail. So this is an amazing stamp bundle to have in your stash.
The sentiment is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I had to make sure it would fit on my already cut paper as it is pretty long. Luckily it was a fit! The leaf is one stamp that I have repeated three times. It is stamped using Cajun Craze Ink. I stamped it full strength on the right, again in the center, and yet again on the left. Because this is a deep color of ink, there is still plenty of color left on that third stamping. Not all ink will look this well, but I love how this one turned out.
PAPERS
These gorgeous DSP strips are from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. They are part of the Suite of products that include the stamp bundle above. These are Onliine Exclusives. To pair with the DSP colors, I pulled all shades of brown to decide on the best combination. Pecan Pie won as the card base. Early Espresso is the layer, with Crumb Cake for the top layer. I thought about embossing that one, but then thought the strips would be enough.
The focal layers are Pecan Pie again, and then Basic Beige. I do love Basic Beige. It seems to pair well with most colors and pick up their color a little. Plus it was light enough to do the three stamping technique with no difficulty on the color.
EXTRAS
The Extra I used is what I thought would match great with the colors. Sadly, it is a discontinued item. I used the Adhesive Back Swirl Dots. However, any tan or brown embellishment would work. And you can color a pearl or rhinestone with Stampin’ Blends.

The card for today is a sympathy card for the family of a long time friend. It is a mix of unexpected products. I have surprised myself by trying a technique that I have recently seen on different media pages. It is embossing on a window sheet.
DRYEMBOSSING
The photo may not be clear unless you zoom in, but on the left side of the card you should be able to see the shine of the window sheet. As I mentioned, I have seen different products, besides cardstock, that are being dry embossed of late. I decided to try a window sheet. Actually it is the thinner of the clear plastic the photopolymer stamps are attached to. Needless to say I am happy with the result. You do need to look closely to see the detail. But overall it is like looking through old glass that is a bit wavy if you know what I am referring to.
For the embossing folder I used the Damask Designs that is part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite. It pairs wonderfully with the painting type DSP of the Beautiful Gallery DSP. As it reminds me of just a bit old timey. I was pleasantly surprised at the detail on this thin plastic. And that it did not really warp the plastic. That is a win as a first try! I was very cautious in adhering the window sheet after recalling adhesive showing through on vellum. So I used a very thin layer of liquid glue around the edges and pressed down for a bit longer than normal. It worked perfectly.
STAMPS
This sweet and simple sentiment stamp is the only stamping on the front. I wanted the paper and embossing to shine. And it does shine!! This stamp is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The simple font , that is just a bit thicker, is perfect. It seems to stand out just the right amount.
PAPERS
The gorgeous rose pattern paper is from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. With the new Cloud Cover as the main color, and Secret Sea as the matching, how could it go wrong. I love both of these colors. To compliment both colors I used Cloud Cover as the card base with Secret Sea as a thin layer. The touch of Basic White for the sentiment really pops from the busy pattern.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras and both are included with the sentiment. First is the fabulous Cloud Cover Faux Linen Ribbon. This is a nice and soft ribbon and is just thick enough to hold up as I have used it in wrapping around the card. The second Extra is one I have used a couple of times already. It is the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. I used the Secret Sea color today. There are shades of each of the new In Colors included.
May is almost over and the May Starter Kit Promotion will be gone as well. This is a great chance to get demonstrator perks for a wonderful price. And it is totally up to you on if you want to work it, or never place another order. There is no pressure. This deal is great in that for $99.00 you receive product of your choice totally $165.00.

Black and White cards can be hard. But adding in a touch of a bright color makes it so much easier in my book. Plus adds some color to a classic look. The Along The Lines stamp set is a perfect one for this look. I hope you will agree.
STAMPS
The Along These Lines stamp set is a very unique set. I do not recall a similar one. Each image in the set is drawn with a single line to create it. As soon as I saw this rose I knew it had to be a star of a black and white card. And for the Black, White, & Strawberry of the title, I used the Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends to color the rose. I also added light Gray Granite for the leaves to mimic the shading of the leaves in the DSP.
To add a simple sentiment, which I really debated on, I needed a similar look as the rose. I found this “celebrate” in the Unbounded Love stamp set. It seemed to be a good match for simplicity.
DIES
The shapes for the images seemed to really ask for a bit of a frame. To create this I turned to the Textured Notes Dies. These Dies each have a different trim around the edge. I love this unique look, so it seemed the perfect choice. The rose is cut using the 3rd smallest Die. And the sentiment is from the smallest Die.
PAPERS
To create the Black and White look, of course I went with a Basic Black for the card base. The DSP sheets are all from the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper. For the larger layer I used a Basic White layer behind it. Additionally the two black pieces with white leaves are also from the same DSP. They are angled to add a bit of fun to what otherwise is a straight card.
EXTRAS
Today the Extras are fairly simple ones. To further the “strawberry” just a bit, I added a double strand of Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine. This twine is a in a trio pack from the Online Exclusives suite. It is Pack Your Bags 3 pack Twine.
The single bling is very important and helps to highlight the rose. This silver sparkle is from the Adhesive Sparkle Gems. These are a great group of sparkly colors in neutral shades. They are very handy to have around.

The card I have for you today is a quick and easy one that just happens to be considered a Fun Fold. At least I call it that. But simple, quick, and one that can be designed for any occasion is always a good thing to me.
And here is the open view
PAPERS
The DSP is the star of this card. Actually it is almost half of the card. This layout is a great way to showcase both sides of a DSP. Or if necessary you could adhere two different pieces together for the front. I opted to allow the black and white stripe to be the surprise. Plus I added a little strip to the signature layer to continue with the DSP. The DSP is the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper from the On Line Exclusives.
To match the florals on the front, I used the new In Color Darling Duckling as the card base. And on this card, the base is seen quite a bit. The card base is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on one side at 4 1/4. This leaves a 1 1/4 fold over. As you can see from the first photo, I used a separate pieces of the DSP to serve as the book bind. I really do love that checked green!
The floral DSP piece is 4 X 5 1/4. To adhere it properly, simply lay the card as you would if it were open. Then lay the DSP piece and center it on the inside section with even borders. Now add adhesive to the left edge (mindful of the width of that front little flap). Then just close the flap and you have a full card!
STAMPS
The fun stamp set is the Mixed Labels set. The sentiments are so sweet and a wonderful way to let our friends, or anyone, know how much we appreciate them. The flower is a simple one from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set. It reminded me of the flowers on the DSP and I wanted a simple focal layer.
The flower and sentiments are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. This ink is back in stock after being away for what seems like forever! Woohoo!! The flower is colored using Stampin’ Blends in Darling Duckling and Granny Apple Green.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. First is the awesome Brushed Brass Butterfly. These have carried over to the Online Exclusives. I am just thrilled they carried over. They are a simple, and flat, bling for any flower image. And the final is something that I thought was still available, but I was wrong. That is so sad. I used the Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon for the little bow. Sorry about that. But any color of ribbon from the DSP colors would work.

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.

While cutting my Paper Shares I have found a new love regarding a new DSP. The Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper. Actually that entire suite of products. I have shared a couple of them today.
STAMPS & DIES
The Inspiring Imperfections Bundle includes both this sweet sentiment, as well as the Die for the sentiment and for the bowl. I kept this card fairly simple and tried to showcase different products within the Suite. The Suite is named Kintsurgi Inspirations, the same as the DSP, and includes the Bundle, DSP, embossing folder , and the embellishments.
The sentiment layer is a Die included in the bundle. And the bowl is cut from a sheet of the DSP using a Die included. This is an amazing set! And I had to add one of the Nested Essentials Dies to display the bowl on.
PAPERS
This banner of gold and blue flowers is probably my favorite of the DSP. This is the Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper. I paired the Gold Foil to highlight the gold in the DSP as well as the gold in the bowl. To pull the blue from the bowl I added Misty Moonlight cardstock as the embossed layer. A simple Basic White card base allows everything else to stand out.
EXTRAS
There are additional parts of the Suite as Extras. The main one is the embossing folder. It is called Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder. The fragmented designs are showcasing different DSP sheets. And the Bling is the final part of the Suite of products. These re called Flower Accents. And they really stand out. If you zoom in on the photo you can really see the detail.

I have a very floral card today. The new Impressions Abloom Bundle might have gotten me a little excited. If you like florals then it will be ok. 🙂
STAMPS & DIES
These flowers are so much fun to create. It is two step stamping for the different flowers. Stampin’ Up! has really created a beauty with this Impressions Abloom Bundle. The Dies cut perfectly and are really easy to line up with the image. This Bundle is another reason to please look at the Online Exclusives!!
I wanted to copy the flowers in the paper to hopefully have the appearance of the flowers falling off of the paper. So I used the same colors, or close to it ,to create my flowers. The first image I stamped is the detailed flower. These are all using Strawberry Slush. Next I used Bubble Bath for the solid image. For me, it is easier to see to align properly if I have stamped the darker image first.
The leaves are all Dies although there are stamps as well. I love the detailed cutting of the leaves for some additional texture. And finally the sentiment is also part of the stamp set. It is actually two different stamps. But because they are photopolymer it was very easy to stamp the bottom words beneath the Thanks. I went with Garden Green Ink for this.
PAPERS
This gorgeous floral paper is part of the Suite of products which includes the Bundle above. The Suite is titled the same as the DSP. It is Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. I only used a strip of the DSP to keep from overloading on the floral print. I wanted the stamped images to pop. Of course the cardstock layers are from the DSP. The base is Strawberry Slush with a layer of the Garden Green. I also added some Strawberry Slush behind the sentiment. Anytime I fussy cut a sentiment and then try to fussy cut a layer, it does not go very well. This time is acceptable. LOL!!
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. First is the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. This gives some additional texture to the White layer that I wanted for the flowers. And of course there is Bling. Today I decided on Rhinestones. Since the new colors have embellishments I have been focussing on those lately. So this was a nice change of pace.

I have another card made using the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle that I used yesterday. This one, in my opinion, is much better! The flower stands out quite a bit today. So yay!
STAMPS& DIES
This coneflower is really showing itself off. I love how it seems to pop off of the paper. Part of that is that I added Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flower itself. But the stem and leaves are glued. The other factor is that I stamped the flower using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then Die cut it using the proper Die. This flower for stamping matches one side of the double flower. So it cuts perfectly. I colored the flower using Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends for the soft yellow and then highlighted with Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends. The stem and leaves are colored using Granny Apple Green and the center is Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.
To add another dimension to the card, actually there are a couple of dimensions, I stamped the butterfly and Die cut it. For the color, I went with Balmy Blue but highlighted using Cloud Cover Stampin Blends. The sentiment is part of the stamp set also. I was very brave and stamped it directly onto the layer. Thankfully these are photopolymer stamps, so getting the sentiment straight was not really a problem.
PAPERS
The papers today are very simple. They come from the image colors. I went with Granny Apple Green for the card base. Then added the surprisingly perfect Cloud Cover as the layer. And finally I embossed the Soft Sea Foam layer and added the images to that.
EXTRAS
There are Two Extras today. First is the embossed layer. I used the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder to dry emboss the Soft Sea Foam layer. The embossed flowers are at the bottom like this coneflower grew out of them. And of course Bling! You have seen these before. They are the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are in all of the new In Colors, so I used a trio of the Cloud Cover ones. It helps bring out the butterfly colors and stands out from the Soft Sea Foam.
