It seems April has been a Birthday month with my friends. And today is no different. This one is for a guy. Mostly the colors lean towards male. The card is pretty cutesy actually. But since he loves dogs I think he will be okay with it.
Stamps
No matter what I might begin thinking is the lead of the card, these puppies take the star for sure. The Cutest Crew Stamp set, it is actually a Bundle, takes the cake for a dog or cat lover. I colored these pups in a variety of colors using Stampin’ Blends. We do not want to offend anyone’s favorite. They are all equally adorable.
The sentiment on both the front and inside are also from the stamp set. On the front I went with the second smallest of the Circle Dies from Stylish Shapes Dies to create a Dog Tag look to highlight the Happy Birthday. At least in my head that was the plan!
To add a bit more whimsy, I stamped the paw prints up the side of the DSP. That can be a little nerve wracking to stamp on the DSP, especially after you have already adhered it to the card. But I succeeded with no errors this time. After doing the paw prints, I decided they needed to be on the inside as well. Here is a view of the inside of the card.
Papers
This quite different DSP is part of the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper. There are these stripes, along with polka dots, in all of the upcoming In Colors in this pack of paper. It is a wonderful pack. I was partial to these different size stripes. You can also see the small polka dots. But there is an additional sheet of large dots that are more like paint swirls. Trust me, you will want this paper!!
To match the colors of the DSP, I went with Peaceful Pine for the card base. This is one of the new In Colors. And you only have a few days before being able to order some of your own! Since there are White stripes in the main paper, I did not try to fancy up the Basic White pieces. They fit right in.
Extras
The Extras for today are the Stylish Shapes Dies I mentioned along with the sentiment. These are the best set of all purpose Dies. And for the Bling I kept it simple. Only one bling was added to the Dog Tag. This is from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots. These are shiny Bling! And are a couple of different sizes in all of the new colors. Another must have are these Dots.

The 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP, In Color Dots, Peaceful Pine Ink and cardstock will all be avaialbe beginning in the May Catalog.
From the title you have guessed what today’s card is for, LOL!!! This stamp is one I hope sticks around, or I will just have to keep it. I find myself, more often than not, being late getting cards into the mail. And that is after I made them on time. I think I need a better system. Anyway, today’s card is a simple layout that makes a perfect birthday card. I hope you will like.
Papers
The colors in the DSP are the reason for the variety of colors. It was difficult to choose which color for card base, layer, etc. But I believe we all can agree that the star is of course the DSP. This is another sheet from the fabulous Delicate Dreams Designer Series Paper. This is an On Line Exclusive from the March release and is still available.
There was a toss up between the Crumb Cake or the Hydrangea Hue for the card base and layer. I am happy with the final choice. And the Hydrangea Ribbon works perfectly in the order of the cardstock colors. I did add a Mossy Meadow layer behind the DSP for another touch of color.
Extras
There are a couple of wonderful Extras. First is the embossed background. This is from the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder. The detail is very detailed! 🙂 And the leaves match well with the DSP.
Next is the sentiment and it’s layer. The sentiment is from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set. And now that I have just checked, it is on the Last Chance List! Yikes, I need that sentiment. For a simple layer of the sentiment I turned to a different shape in a punch. And this is on the Last Chance List as well. It is the Sign Design Punch. I love that it is a different shape than usual.
Finally is the Ribbon. This is new in the May – August Catalog and is the Hydrangea Hue Ribbon. To complete the card I added the obligatory bling. This one is not quite blingy, but is still pretty. It is a Secret Sea color from the Natural Matte Dots. The Dots are from the March On Line Exclusives along with the DSP.

Sympathy cards are always a difficult card to create for me. Part of that is that they must still be a pretty card that might make the recipient smile just a bit. A pretty floral with a “hug” attached fits that idea pretty well.
Papers
This floral pattern is one I have used previously. The Delicate Dreams Designer Series Paper is really exceptional. All of the colors are bright and with the copper accents become really stunning. And to highlight the gorgeous blue, I paired it with two of my favorite blues. The card base and embossed layer are Secret Sea and the blue is the new Hydrangea Hue. It could be called a blue…ish. To me it has a purple tint to it. All I can say is that it is my new favorite.
Stamps
The stamp is a small part of the front of the card. But it definitely sets the tone. Hugs can be very loving and healing. This small sentiment is a great size for many card fronts. Here it fits perfectly layered on the side of the floral pattern. There is a sweet inside sentiment as well. Both of these sentiments are from an upcoing new stamp set titled Phrases & Frames. It is a fabulous sentiment set in the May – August Catalog. Additionally I added a strip of the DSP to coordinate wit the front.
Extras
The Extras on today’s card are very important and part of the beauty. First is the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder. These detailed leaves are a perfect pairing for the floral DSP. The detail has great depth. Then there are the fabulous as always Everyday Arches Dies. These were still on my desk from the floral card I shared last week. It sets a scene like you were looking into the garden through an archway. Plus the smallest of the arches was turned sideways for the sentiment. And last but not least are the bling. These are the Natural Matte Dots. I broke my own rule and only used two bling. My rule is to have an odd number. Except the placement was to appear as fasteners for the sentiment layer.

The stamp set and Hydrangea Hue products used are not available until May.
Do any of you remember the “scratch and sniff” items that would have been around many moons ago? If you are my age you might. This DSP makes me think of that. But in this case, it is more of a “rub softly” feeling. The Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper has a “flocked” texture on some of the flowers. I was so surprised when I felt it as it actually did not register what the name might imply. My Stamp Club all ooed and ahhed when they felt it as well. This paper is seriously pretty!
The little white flowers are the flocking!
Papers
I have already mentioned the Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper. And you can see how gorgeous it is. All of the sheets in the pack are like this. I apologize that there is not a photo of the paper or it’s addition to the supply list. It and the Peaceful Pine Ink are not available until May. So not too long away to wait.
To keep a soft tone I used Cloud Cover as the card base. It is part of the DSP colors, and is a real favorite for me. Most shades of blue, or blue/gray as I think of Cloud Cover, work so well with my ideas.
Stamps
The DSP was so pretty that I could have left it with just the sentiment. But decided to go ahead with the greenery image as well. It is from the Friendly Foliage Bundle and is stamped with the upcoming InColor Peaceful Pine. I thought it might dry a tad lighter than it did. It is a really pretty green however. And it gave my club ladies a chance to play with the new ink pads. That was a definite winner!
The sentiment is from the Friendly Foliage Bundle as well. I think this is a great sentiment and useful for many card uses. To add some definition to the ends, I punched each with the Happy Labels Punch. I hate to see this punch go. But it is still available on the Last Chance List. Or it was on Sunday.
Extras
There are a couple of Extras for this one. First is the Linen Thread on the sentiment. I felt it needed a bit more. It was stamped on a scrap that was quite a bit longer than necessary. And that gave me the idea for a longer layer there. By leaving the sentiment offset I wrapped the Linen Thread and bow to the opposite end.
For the Bling I went subtle. It still qualifies as Bling! These are from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots. I love that Cloud Cover has it’s own bling. This makes me happy. And it was perfect for this DSP with the Cloud Cover in it as well.

Today I have a gorgeous Fun Fold and am giving you two versions of it. This was a card for my Stamp Club and I couldn’t decide which they might prefer. One requires a bit of coloring where the other is minimal coloring. Just to let you know, most chose the minimal coloring!
Fun Fold
This card qualifies as a fun fold to me, and it is fun. The arches give it an Old World look that I love. Old arched doors are a favorite of mine when I am traveling. However these arches are much simpler to create.
The Everyday Arches Dies offer large arches like on my card, and smaller ones that are great for a sentiment. One of the best things about the Die set is that there are ten different size arch dies. I love the options with these. I will say that when cutting the card base it does require proper positioning and to run it through the machine twice since you are cutting through two layers. The card base is 8 X 5 1/2 and scored at 4 before Die cutting.
Second Option
The materials used on both cards are the same with the one exception. To create the pop up Spotlight technique I added another Die set. This is a favorite, hope it never goes away, Stylish Shapes Dies. I only used the one Die as I did not think the stamped front layer was quite big enough to support a double layer for the Spotlight.
Stamps
This floral stamp is the Flowers Fair Stamp. It is a large, individual, stamp. The mix of flowers is what grabbed my attention. I stamped using Gray Granite Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment on the front I used the Banner Sayings Bundle. These are all smaller size sentiments with a matching Banner Punch to cut them out. The inside is a mix of the Banner Sayings along with the Addressed To You stamp set for the floral arches.
Extras
This card really did not need a lot of extra as it is sort of busy with the different shape, all the flowers, and the sweet sentiment. However, there must be Bling!, and a bit more in this case. I added the wrap of Bubble Bath Linen Ribbon, and a bow from it, to ground the sentiment. Then for Bling, I used Iridescent Pearls. More on the solid flowers than the popped up one, but the same pearls on both.

Today’s card was cased from Laura Seki as a added touch to a simple landscape layout. The additions are fairly simple and are a great extra use of your Taper trimmer. I love adding extra cuts to card layouts as it is showing my Paper Trimmer can do more than simply cut the basic layers. It gives it some extra love.
This extra cut on the top layer of the card could be to simply cut away the strip, or do as I did and glue it down.
Bundle
The real star of this card are the two Die Cut pieces that are basically holding to the two sections of the card front together. These are from the Delicate Whispers Bundle. I do not often use Foil, but this really called for the extra touch. Plus the Gold Foil matches the gold in the paper.
There is such a lot going on with the front of this card. So I kept the sentiment simple. This is from the Delicate Whispers stamp set. It was also placed as to assist in holding the two sections together. This small sentiment can still Pop on such a busy card.
Papers & Ink
The beautiful DSP on the front is really the star of the show. It is the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. Of course I had to pull all of the colors from this gorgeous flower print. Fresh Freesia seemed to be the one that called to me the most. I did add the Gold Foil and Old Olive Cardstock for the Die cut pieces.
Since this was a fairly simple sentiment with no expected inside sentiment, I left it blank for a hand written message. However it cannot be left totally blank! So I added the green stem from the stamp set using Old Olive Ink to mimic the front greenery.
Extras
To complete the sentiment, it is punched using the Three Banner Punch. And the Bling are the Iridescent Foil Gems. This is actually a fairly busy front cover for a simple card.
Measurements
This card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. Then the front is cut from bottom up to the score line at 1 1/4 & 1 1/2. As I said at the beginning, you can glue this strip to the inside of the card, or just remove it. The DSP is cut to 3 3/4 X 4.

A notecard can be so handy to have on hand. I try to make some up that are good for most occasions for when I need a last minute acknowledgment. The one I have today is more specific in that it says Hello. That could be changed merely with a different sentiment and everything else staying the same.
But First, please do not forget that today is the last day of the Double Stampin’ Rewards. They end at 11:59 PM Mountain Time.
Notecards are the Best!
Notecards are quick to make as they are smaller. Yet can still be as pretty as a full size card or scrapbook page. The one I have to share today is using some DSP scraps and two stamps. Plus a couple of Extras. Still very quick and simple.
Paper
The White Notecards come with 20 cards and 20 envelopes for the small price of $10.00. Using this DSP scrap layout, that could be a lot of ready to go cards using the small strips leftover from other projects. And no one wants to throw away those beautiful strips!
The DSP used is two sides of the Delicate Dreams Designer Series Paper. This is so gorgeous. Partly because it showcases the beautiful new In Color of Hydrangea Hue. In addition there are some Bronze effects on some of the leaves and flower centers. It did not show well in the photo.
I shared a piece of the Hydrangea Hue cardstock with the tag. That color to me is not only beautiful but it reminds me of the blue/purple hydrangea flowers which are one of my most favorite flowers. Plus it is not like any other color we have. it is truly unique and I love it. The green DSP is the reverse of the beautiful floral and really highlights the greens there.
Stamps
The sentiment as well as the little bird are from the Cutest Crew Stamp set. This stamp set was on it’s way to me as soon as it was available and apparently to a lot of other folks. It has been out of stock, but is expected back the end of the month.
To get the little bird image, I stamped only half of the bird stamp and then fussy cut this one apart from the others. He became a Blue Bird to match the color theme. He is colored using the Hydrangea Hue Stampin’ Blends.
For the sentiment, I stamped it and then fussy cut around the sides and top to give some interest and not cover the entire tag. It also helps the sentiment to stand out a little more when it has some different shapes.
Extras
The tag is from the Labeled With Love Punch. This guy is on the Last Chance List for $15.00. I love the unique shape as it does look like a ticket or small tag. To give a bit more texture to the card, I added a bow using Linen Thread. This is always a good choice when you want a ribbon or just some texture and it really goes with almost anything.
Finally I have to add Bling! I have shared a few upcoming products from the May – August Catalog on this little card. All of these are only a couple of weeks away and I felt it was an okay time to bring them out for you to see. These 2026-2028 In Color Dots are in all of the new In Colors. and in two sizes. I used the Hydrangea Hue of course. These have a “pearl” like shine to them so they qualify as true bling.
New Product Reminder
The Hydrangea Hue products will all be available to order beginning on May 5th. I believe you will love this new catalog, And it is in portrait form like the Annual Catalog, not landscape as the Mini Catalogs have been.

My card today is a quick one as I was out of town over the weekend to my 50th High School Reunion. I cannot believe I am that old! OMG….. But it was a fun time to reconnect with old friends There were about a dozen of us that had gone to school together from first grade thru twelfth. It was hard to believe how little some have changed. I was not one of those! Anyway, here is my card that I made fairly quickly and am really happy with it.
Die Shapes
I used two different Dies from one Die set as the stars of the card. The awesome background is from the Forever Florals Dies. I have to say that I was amazed at how easily this came out of the Die with all of the little sections. And it is such a stunning background.
The second Die is the sentiment shape. This one is from the same Die set. There are two different sizes of this shape for layering, as well as another sentiment one. I chose this size as it seemed to fit perfectly in the opening.
Stamp Set
The sentiment is the only stamping on the front. Keeping things simple is an important part to a quick card. I love this saying as it works for a few different occasions, or a just because. If you have been following me for anytime, then you know how much I love mixed fonts. That is another of the reason for me to love this one.
Sneak Peeks of Extras
The two Extras on today’s card are both upcoming products from the May – August Catalog. Both are 2026-2028 In Color items. First is the ribbon. It is the Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon. Of course this ribbon will be available in all of the new In Colors. Even though the Peaceful Pine is a darker green, it is still a great compliment to the Shaded Spruce of my background layer.
For the second Extra, I also went to the New 2026-2028 In Colors. This time it is the Butterflies. These butterflies are in two sizes and in all of the new In Colors. I chose to use the larger of the Peaceful Pine one as my only Bling. It filled the position perfectly.
Stampin’ Up! News= Double Rewards

Today’s card took longer to decide on the sentiment placement than anything else. It is one that could be put together in five minutes. I can see this card as multiples in a gift for a friend. You also get two sneak peeks from the upcoming May – August Catalog.
Paper
Here is the third card in a row beginning with paper. However this card is All About the paper. The photo you see shows beautiful paper. But it is even prettier in person. At OnStage in March we had a chance to do an after hours stamping and got a package, with the products we needed to make several cards. This is actually a sheet/pattern from an upcoming DSP. Except this is a print that was part of the first page of our package that included the name of the projects. The paper was just too beautiful to throw away. I decided to cut off the floral part to use.
The name of the DSP it is part of is Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper. And it is a fabulous pack of DSP, as you can see from this being a printed sheet of it. As I said in the opening, this will be included in the May – August Catalog. I cannot imagine that very many of those front sheets were actually put in the trash!
To pull what I thought was the prettiest part of the paper, I used Peach Pie cardstock for the card base and sentiment base. Paired with Basic White to pull out the butterflies and little flowers was a given.
Stamp & Extras
The single stamp used seems almost an afterthought to the paper. The Fragrant Layers Stamp set was on my desk. And there was a simple sentiment that I thought would be perfect to compliment the paper.
For a different look I used Circle Punches to cut the sentiment layers. Next was trying to decide where to place the sentiment without covering pretty parts of the DSP. I finally decided on the edge. The circles are adhered and then I used my snips from the back and cut off the overhang.
There must always be Bling! For this one I used some of the new Dewdrop Embellishments. They are upcoming as well. The green really seemed to pop against the Peach and White.
