Merriest Moments ~Poinsettia

Did you know the poinsettia is typically considered a Christmas flower, and many people give them around Christmas time to symbolize good will and community spirit. In religious communities, the shape of the poinsettia flower is thought to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, with the red leaves of the poinsettia symbolizing the blood of Christ.

My card today was created using the poinsettia from the Merriest Moments stamp set and the Designer Series Paper, Lights Aglow. The set and dies are returning favorites and featured on page 23 in the July-December holiday catalog.

Project Measurements

Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base), 2-7/8 x 3-7/8
Basic White CS- 2¾ x 3¾, 2¼ x 2¼, 4 x 5¼
Lights Aglow DSP-3 ¾ x 5

Poinsettias can cause dogs and cats to get sick, but they are actually not poisonous. Supposedly the leaves are very bitter, so chances are your pet will not like feasting on them.

Pumpkin Patch with Rustic Harvest DSP

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / August 11, 2022 / Rustic Harvest DSP

Well, I seems to be stuck on the Fall theme this week and that is a great place to be stuck. Check out the festive fall stamps sets in the holiday mini catalog. I guess I am looking forward to putting out all those fall and Halloween decorations. Today’s card features the greeting from the Hello Harvest Bundle, the pumpkin paper from Rustic Harvest, and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base, added a layer of Basic White and then two 3 x 4 panels, one cut from the pumpkin paper in this pack and the other from Cajun Craze cardstock.

I stamped the greeting with Cajun Craze ink and cut the banner looking die from Stylish Shapes Dies for my greeting. If you missed these dies, they are in the 2022-2023 annual catalog and will be the perfect go to shapes for your next card creation. Here is a closer look at the dies and the paper pack.

Dahlia Days Thank You

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / April 26, 2022 / Dahlia Days Bundle, Designer Series Paper, Label Me Lovely Punch

Hello my stamping friends! Today I thought I would share with you a super simple card using some of our designer series paper and a stamp from the Dahlia Days Bundle featured in the January – June 2022 annual catalog. This card can be created using your favorite color and perhaps even some designer series paper scraps.

I started with a Night of Navy card base and added three strips of designer series paper. The tag was created by stamping the greeting from Dahlia Days with Night Navy ink and punched using the Label Me Lovely punch. I added a bit of denim ribbon and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the tag.

Project Supplies and Measurements

Night of Navy CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)

Sweet As a Peach-Thank You!

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / March 23, 2022 / Sweet as a Peach, You're A Peach

The You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack coordinates perfectly with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. See page 60 for more details on this “sweet” suite! My card today features this paper pack and the a small peach from the bundle.

The card base and the ink for the baby peach is Calypso Coral. I added a strip of the paper on the left side to create a sweet and simple thank you card.

The tag was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I also stamped and cropped a small peach to add to the tag. The leaves on the tag are stamped directly to the white cardstock in Pear Pizazz. I just love the vibrant colors, it really does make me think of spring and summer. I am so looking forward to a real fresh peach!

Don’t forget the retired list for the 2021-2022 catalog will be out later today, and once that list is live, I will be sending out a newsletter to all my followers. I will also post it on my blog tomorrow.

Utilize your Scraps! Favorite things Friday

Paper Crafting Ideas / March 4, 2022

I am totally loving the angled look on our cards lately, but what I love even more is uses my scrap pieces of designer series paper to create fun cards. I love our 6 x 6 paper and now I love it even more because super easy card was created with the left over pieces from a previous project.

I had several 2 x 5 ½ pieces of designer series paper left and I simply cut them in half on the diagonal. This time I cut corner to corner as opposed to the off set angled cards we created last week. I started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added my scrap pieces of designer series paper to a 3¾ x 4¼ panel of Basic Black cardstock. I did trim my angled pieces just a bit to fit the Black cardstock.

I added a greeting using Memento Black ink and then a few simple Matte Black dots for some added dimension. I guess this is what you call clean and simple stamping – Stamps, Ink, Paper and Embellishment. #simplestamping

I would love to see your simply simple creations. Give it a try, it is a lot of fun!

Dahlia Days -Thank you for Your Kindness

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / March 1, 2022

Isn’t in amazing how one random acts of kindness makes a difference. I always feel good when I create a special card and just send it out for no reason. I know there are lots of ways to show kindness, but what can I say I love making cards.

I was so sad when the Delightful Dahlias retired a few months ago, but I have to say I might love this baby dahlia bundle even more. These flowers are so sweet they make it easy to say thank you, thinking of you, or so sorry for you loss.

Today’s card begins with an Evening Evergreen card base. I added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock and used some of our designer series paper to create an angled card. I really am loving the look of these card fronts and what a great way to use our leftover designer paper.

The flowers are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. I stamped the greeting in Memento Black and attached it and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink on Soft Succulent cardstock and cropped with the dies from the Bundle.

Project Supplies and Measurements

Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base)
Very Vanilla CS-4 x 5¼, 3 x 4
Daffodil Afternoon DSP- 4¼ x 4¼ (cut on angle)
Soft Succulent CS: 3 x 3
Dahlia Days Bundle
Flirty Flamingo Ink
Memento Black Ink
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

I hope this cards inspires to you send spread a little kindness today. Happy Stamping!
