I should still be on my trip to Norway! So these posts are done ahead of time. And I am sharing another of the quick Notecards I made as Thank You for the staff.
Papers
Today’s card is a return to the Kraft Notecards and Envelopes for the card base. This one has the added benefit of the gorgeous DSP from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. The sheet used here is a full one that looks like this. You could make quite a few cards from one single sheet.
Stamp and Punch
The sweet sentiment is from the Handmade Hugs stamp set. This set coordinates with the Handmade Tag Punch. The outline image is stamped using Azure Afternoon Ink. And the sentiment is stamped using Berry Burst Ink. Both are included in the stamp set. And I love the shape and size of the Handmade Tag Punch! It fits quite a lot of the larger size sentiments that most punches do not. I do not know if y’all have noticed that none of these notecards have added Bling! I left that off for ease of packing and travel. But it was so hard to not add some bling!!!

Today’s card features mostly the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and a bit of fancy trim. This is a pretty, yet simple, Thank you card.
Tags
The tags are the best part of this card. It was a toss up between the tags and the DSP. But the tags won! The pretty edge on the top of the tag is from the Elegant Edge Punch. It is a 2″ wide tag with just enough detail for a fancy look. And you could punch each end for a beautiful and fancy layer on your card. I made a second tag of the Misty Moonlight card stock for a shadow look. They are tied together using a length of the Starry Sky Metallic Weave Ribbon. I love the bit of sparkle this gives.
Papers
This card could not get any brighter and that is all due to the papers. The Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper is so pretty. To get the torn look, one of the Stampin’ Up! Artists actually tore paper that had been dry embossed, stamped etc and then photographed it. This bright piece is fabulous. And it matches the tag piece which is also from the paper pack. To tie the layers together I found a complimentary color of Bubble Bath to use as the card base.
Stamps and Bling
To mix the two different DSP pieces, a solid color, and a punch is an easy and beautiful card. And to add a very simple sentiment is about all that is needed to complete it. The sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set. I love when I remember to try stamping directly on the DSP. And to complete the card I spread a trio of gems from the Tinsel Gem 3 Pack. I went wild and used one of each color!

My title means I am in Norway! The forecast was for rain every day. Hopefully they were wrong and we are enjoying sunshine.
Stamps
After checking the forecast for the tenth time, I am prepared to enjoy the rain. But again, I am hoping now when you see this on Tuesday that I will be not getting wet! However, this stamp set is a favorite of mine as I am sure you can see by checking out the gallery! I love the images and the expressions they have.
This little guy did not require a lot of coloring after stamping. His shirt is colored to match the background paper using the Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends.
Dies and Layers
To give the card a nice border, I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I love the design it leaves around the edge of the opening. The die cut layer is Real Red with a piece of the Stargazing Designer Series Paper behind the bunny. The card base is Night of Navy to match the darker part of the DSP. And to break up the dark colors I added another layer of Basic White. That ties the bunny layer in also.
Finishes
To complete this fun and celebratory card I had to add a fun sentiment. This YAY is from the Happy Labels stamp set. I really could not decide how to showcase it so it went through a bit of trimming. It began with using the star shaped punch from Inked & Tiled Bundle. But that was too large. So I decided it would work to simple trim straight across above and below the letters. It is an odd shape, but it screams happiness! And since Norway has been on my bucket list for a bit that is fine by me! The last touch is a scattering of the Classic Matte Dots in White.

I have a couple of additional Notecards to share with you today. These are made with Inked & Tiled Stamp set.
Stamps
The Inked & Tiled stamp set is one of my favorites. And here are two quick examples of the ease of using this set. The first one is Ink to Rubber technique. That simply means that I colored the stamp itself using Stampin’ Write Markers and then stamped the image. However this image looks great no matter how it is stamped!
The extra leaves at the base of the first card and all of the leaves on the second card are from an additional stamp in the set. This one is stamped using Pretty Peacock ink several times. Since the trip is a cruise, I knew I would need some less feminine cards for male staff. The surround of leaves works great for this quick card. And the Thank You is from the set as well.
Paper
These cards are the same Kraft Notecards and Envelopes that I used in

Y’all I have lost my mind! I have been getting ready for a trip to one of my Bucket List locations, and have forgotten to do posts. One of the things I have been working on are cards to share while I am away, but also ones to use during my trip. Here are some simple and really quick notecards for Thank You to whomever.
Cards
All of these cards begin with the Kraft Notecards & Envelopes. And if you prefer White cards, you can get the notecards and envelopes in White. I wanted to be different and use the Kraft ones this time. These are found on page 135 of the Annual Catalog and you get 20 cards and 20 envelopes for 10.00. That is an amazing deal! And they are the perfect size to carry around or have in your room.
Paper
This card is made with the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series paper. The paper is really the star of the card. And it is all you really need for a quick Thank You. The sweet DSP with a circle sentiment and you are good to go.
Thank you for stopping in today!
I will monitor the comments as best I can while away. The hubby and kitties will be home, but they might be more of a laugh than any assistance to you! I will also try to add some photos to the my Facebook page during the trip. It is also BluelineStamping!

I wanted to share a refreshing card today. Oranges from the Sweet Citrus Bundle are a refreshing summer drink or snack, and especially a card. The Sweet Citrus Bundle is a great one that doesn’t get utilized enough.
Stamps and Dies Plus
As mentioned above, the Sweet Citrus Bundle is a really nice one that can be used for a few different fruits depending on your colors. I went with an orange. But there is more! You may not be able to see the background very well, but there is an embossing folder which is a Hybrid Folder back there. Not only can you emboss the fruit, but can emboss and cut them out. I love this!! Stampin’ Up! has created a few of these and they work perfectly as intended.
The oranges and leaves are stamped and then die cut. They are arranged to somewhat fit the same image that is embossed on the layer. And the sentiment is from this stamp set as well. That is always a winner for me to be able to do a one stamp set card.
Colors
To keep in mind the oranges, I went with Pumpkin Pie as a highlight layer to emphasize the center of the oranges. The outside was stamped using Crushed Curry. And the leaves are Granny Apple Green. The card layers were kept simple to allow the Pumpkin Pie to really pop. I used Thick Basic White for the base and then the layers are Basic White as well. The sentiment is stamped with the Granny Apple Green to add more of that color. And the finishing touch is a couple of the Iridescent Pastel Gems. They tend to pick up the color they are around.
Layout
This layout is one that has a shorter front section. Looking at the photo, you should be able to see that the sentiment is actually on the inside of the card and the front stops just above it. This measurement is good for showing off a strip of DSP or ,as I did here, the sentiment in a different way. And it works just as well in landscape as in portrait position.
The measurements are the card base is 4 1/4 X 9 3/4 scored at 5 1/2. The Pumpkin Pie layers are 4 X 4 and 4 X 1. For the embossed layer I used Basic White cut to 3 7/8 X 3 7/8. And the sentiment is Basic White at 3 7/8 X 7/8. There is also the same Pumpkin Pie and embossed layer (except not embossed) on the inside. I like to add a layer to write on even on White and the color layer helps make it pop.

I very much enjoyed the Tucked Pinwheel card I made a few weeks ago. So I recreated it for a class. These folds are addictive in case you have not tried it yet. Today’s card stars a few different products but especially the Fresh As A Daisy DSP.
Here is the open view of the pinwheel.
Papers
The Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper is really the star of this card in addition to the pinwheel. Seeing the two sides of the paper is so pretty. And I pulled the two main colors, Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat, to compliment the DSP. Then softened the final layers with the Bubble Bath. It is a great soft look with the Moody Mauve and one I would never have thought until I tried it.
Stamps
The sentiment and balloon are from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. Putting an extra sentiment in the center of the pinwheel is a nice surprise. There is additionally a Happy Birthday are on the inside of the card. I made the card a traditional card and then added the pinwheel to the front. This way you see the surprise but still have plenty of room on the card inside for a personal message.
Fold
To create the pinwheel you need a 6X6 piece of DSP. Next score at 1 1/2″ on all four sides. Fold and burnish the score lines. Then cut off each of the corner squares. This leaves a square in the center with 4 flaps. Place your paper in the orientation you want your pattern. (Take a minute to look at both sides with a flap pulled inside to decide which you prefer before you have a lot of fold lines!) Beginning with the flap at the top, fold it in so it is laying on the center square then take the bottom left corner and fold it flush along the score line. Turn your paper and do all four sides. To finish, have each flap standing up. Lay the top one to the inside, then the right flap overlapping it, the bottom overlaps the right, and the left overlaps the bottom. Now at the last flap just tuck the not folded edge under the top flap like you would on a cardboard box.

I have a different Fun Fold to share with you today. This one is more of a Die Set Fold and really simple to make. The Countryside Corners Dies are the stars.
Die Sets
There are actually two Die Sets used on this card. The Countryside Corners Dies are the ovals and the Designer Tag Dies are the two containing the sentiment. And here is an open view for you to see the “rest of the story”! (I am dating myself there. LOL!!)
You can see from the inside view how there are two of both the largest and next largest of the Countryside Corners Dies. This idea is a CASE from Susan Edwards a South Caroline Demonstrator. I fell in love with this layout as soon as I saw it.
Papers and Colors
The colors for this card all came from the DSP piece. This is from a piece of the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. I have had difficulty using this paper until now. But cutting it with the die and being a focal point makes it seem as if you are looking out a window. And you should only see parts of the buildings. At least that is what I am thinking!
The card base is the Misty Moonlight with the largest of the Countryside Corners Dies in Petal Pink. And the two tags were to pull in the more color. The Granny Apple Green was my first choice and I love how it pops! But I felt like it needed more to the sentiment. So it was joined by a second tag in Misty Moonlight. I do like the double tags. They are held with a bow using the Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon which adds some sparkle to the front.
Measurements
The card base of Misty Moonlight is 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 and scored at 4 1/2. The Petal Pink layers are both cut using the largest of the Countryside Corners Dies. And the DSP plus the inside White layers are cut using the next size down of the Dies. Easy Peasy!!! The one thing to keep in mind is when adding the front panel, which is what I added first. Make sure your card does not exceed 5 1/2 in height so it fits in a regular envelope.

The card I have to share with you today is a definite “girly” card. There is a lace look with bright pinks. And it stars the Darling Details Bundle.
Bundle
This Darling Details Bundle has a bit of everything in it. The flowers are simple and the matching dies have the flowers covered as well as some layering. I have used both in my card. It is a little difficult to describe these flowers I think. They have a bit of a cartoony look to them. And even though I love the beautiful and details flowers Stampin’ Up! always have, I am really loving these.
All of the components of this card are stamped and die cut except for the sentiment. The flowers are Berry Burst with a fill of Bubble Bath. And the leaves are Shaded Spruce either alone or with a fill of Old Olive. The large flower and the one on the right are both raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Everything else is glued. Although the sprigs have the top part left loose for more dimension.
The frame is one of the added bonuses I mentioned. This is so pretty and adds such detail to the card. I wanted the flowers to appear to “hang over” the edge of the frame. The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. So this is a “One Bundle” card.
Papers, Colors, & Finishes
The colors were actually decided when I chose the stamped images colors. From there it was just a matter of the card base. I did play around with all of the included colors, but thought the Old Olive was the best choice. And since it has the least amount of that color used, I stamped the sentiment with Old Olive.
The final touch to this card was bling of course. And to continue with the “girly” look I used the Iridescent Pearls. They are difficult to see in the photo, but there are a scattering of different sizes in the white area.

Today’s card is using one of the new Online Exclusive stamp sets. It is the Timeless Charm. I love this style of stamp and hope you do as well!
Stamp sets
The sweet little flower with the shaded background are stamps from the Timeless Charm set. I apologize in that I thought it was back in stock. However, it will return so just keep an eye out. It is in the Online Exclusives and should be back the week of August 14. I do love the simple flower and especially paired with that shadow stamp. There are a couple of these in the set. This is stamped and then colored using Stampin’ Blends.
The second set is a quick usage. The sentiment stamped inside the Heart is from the Darling Details stamp set. I love this fun set and it is the star of tomorrow’s card. So stay tuned for that!
Papers
The bright colors of this card are from the fun papers I have used for layers. Normally my layers are card stock. So I decided to shake things up a bit, or brighten things up, and used the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. All of the sheets in this pack are just Fun! And the colors all coordinate very well. The two sheets I used are both colors of the Stampin’ Blends used to color the flower. To help even the layers and colors I went with the Thick Basic White as the card base. The bottom of White and the top of White really balance things.
Extras
The “extras” are a few different things. The bright and sheer ribbon is from the Sheer Ribbon Combo. This bright yellow matches the Lemon Lolly that I used for the flower shadow. And the simple folded piece behind the heart is different, which is perfect! The heart for the sentiment adds an extra love to the Thank You. The heart die is from the Wonderful Thoughts Die set. And the final touch is one of the Tinsel Gem 4 pack that is similar to the Fresh Freesia flower. It is placed in the center of the flower.
