Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Happy Birthday, Thinking of You /

Happy Monday. I hope you are all staying warm. I know here in St. Louis we got quite a bit of snow and it is bitter cold. But hey, it is warm inside and another great day for crafting!

Today I am featuring a new bundle from the January – April 2026 mini catalog. This is a great bundle for weddings, anniversaries, and of course Mother’s Day, but the flowers are so gorgeous, they are also perfect for an elegant birthday card or a simple thank you.

Check out the new product of the Month!

I love, love, love, the fonts in this set! Fabulous Sayings can be yours for only $5. That is correct, in stead of Sale-a-Brations, Stampin’ Up! is now featuring a new product each month available for only $5. Place a $75 order (before shipping/tax) through my online store and you can add this to our cart for only $5. Now that is simple and fabulous!

Weekly Wed. #81 Fun Fold Accordion Card

Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday. If you live in the Midwest, I do hope you are staying warm. It is really supposed to get cold this weekend. I may have to move my crafting space into my living room in front of the fire! LOL. Or maybe I will just sit in my lazy boy and enjoy a glass of Chardonnay. But for now, I am excited to share with you a fun fold accordion card that I created using a 5 1/4 x 12 piece of designer series paper.

This card will look great with whatever patterned paper you have on hand, but if you want to purchase the True Blue Florals paper pack, it is the product of the month from December, so supplies are limited. Just place a $75 order through my online store and you can choose the True Blue Floral paper pack or the January 2026 product of the month, Fabulous Sayings. Both are featured in our card today.

TRUE BLUE FLORALS-DECEMBER 2025 PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

#80 Weekly Wednesday ~ Quilt Patchwork Cards

2 Comments / Christmas 2025, Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Stamping Techniques /

I was not sure what to call these cards, but it sure was fun creating them. This super simple template will be just the thing to use up your leftover scraps of designer series paper. And if you don’t have scraps, well I am not sure how that would happen, but in case you don’t just cut a strip of dsp that measures 1-1/4 x 12 and cut according to the template in the video.

Here is a closer look at the cards!

I hope you have as much fun creating these cards as I did. Once I created the template I was having so much fun with my different scraps. You could also try making your own DSP pattern paper and maybe even emboss some solid cardstock squares for an added dimension. I can see that the possibilities are endless. I think I might have to give that a try a my next stamp camp. Happy Stamping!

DIY Designer Series Paper ~ Weekly Wed. #69

Designer Series Paper, Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hello my friends. I am so excited to share with you a way to create your own Designer Series Paper using the new Gathering Moments stamp set. First of all the paper that coordinates with this bundle is absolutely gorgeous, but I thought making our own can be fun too. When you create your own designer series paper, don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of colors. Try creating a sheet with all one color. That would be fun too. Monochromatic is such a calming look.

Today’s project: DIY Designer Series Paper

I started with a Basis White 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and randomly stamped the images from the Gathering Moments bundle as shown. The large leaf I stamped in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The smaller leaf is stamped with Garden Green. The berries are stamped with Cherry Cobbler and the acorn with Pecan Pie. I used Early Espresso to stamp the smaller veined leaf. Feel free to adds some splatter with Pecan Pie or Early Espresso ink. The You’re Remarkable and the Elements of Text are just a few of the sets that have some great splatter.

Today’s card features our Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The card base is a standard A2 size and measures 8-1/2 x 5 -1/2, scored at 4-1/4. I cut a piece of the newly created designer series paper to measures 3-3/4 x 5 and backed it with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is from Grateful Blessings. See video for tip on how to shorten the greeting. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink and cropped it with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. I used that same punch to crop a Cherry Cobber hexagon and cut in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom border. Before adding the greeting to the card front, I put a strip of Cherry Cobbler 3/8 x 3-7/8 across the bottom of the card. Feel free to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting to your card front.

I hope you enjoyed today’s fall project. Join me on Monday for a new holiday series 12 Days of Christmas! Happy Stamping!
