Well I thought it was spring….that was until we got snow this week. Here in St. Louis, you just never know about the weather.

Today I am excited to share a card that features two of the sets that will be carrying over to our new catalog. Celebrate Sunflowers that is pictured on page 13 in the current annual catalog and the Sweet Strawberry set featured in the current mini catalog will both be coming to the new 2021-2022 annual catalog.
Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Bumblebee cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼”piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the large rectangle die from Ornate Layers.
Attach the layer to the card front.
Stamp the small sunflower in Memento Black ink on some Basic White cardstock and crop it out using the Sunflower dies from the bundle.
Color the Stampin’ Blends or the Watercolor pencils to color the sunflower in Daffodil Delight, the leaves in Garden Green and the center in brown.
Next cut a 2¼ x 3½” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp a greeting from the Sweet Strawberry bundle in Blackberry Bliss ink and attach it to the center of the ornate layer.
Now add the small sunflower and you have a very elegant birthday card.
This looks so elegant and took no time at all to create. I love how simple it is to dress up an ordinary card with the dies from Ornate Layers. I hope you will give them a try! I would love to see what you create so feel free to email me your creations!

Milestone birthday’s are always fun to celebrate and turning 50 can be as much fun as turning 16! Right! Today’s card features the So Much Happy Bundle and the Playful Alphabet Dies, which makes creating that customized birthday card a breeze!
Begin with a 5½ x 8½ ” piece of Basic Black cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5¼’ piece of Petal Pink cardstock and attach it to the card front.
Cut a 3 ¼ x 4 ½ “piece of Melon Mambo Designer Series paper and attach it to the pink panel.
Next use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Happy Dies from the So Much Happy bundle to cut the Happy with Basic Black cardstock and add it to the Melon Mambo panel.
Use the star dies and Rococo Rose cardstock to add a little happy to the HAPPY!
Use Petal Pink, Melon Mambo and Rococo Rose cardstock to cut out some small balloons.
Use the Playful Alphabet Dies and choose the appropriate number for your birthday greeting. I used “50”! Attach the numbers to the card front using liquid glue.
For the inside of the card, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Petal Pink cardstock and a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White.
Layer both to the inside panel of the card base.
Use the larger balloon dies from the Happy Dies to create a Melon Mambo and Petal Pink balloon.
Crop the balloon string in Basic Black and attach to the left side of the white panel.
I waited a long time to add these amazing dies to the crafting supplies and I am so glad I did. Now creating those special, one of a kind birthday greeting for folks of all ages is a snap. I hope this card has inspired you to create something beautiful! Stop back tomorrow for some more crafting fun!

I love it when things come together and todays cards features three awesome sets that go perfectly together. The florals for the Art Gallery Bundle are the perfect card front for a special birthday card. The pop of black wording from the Well Said bundle makes an ideal card for anyone, but especially for someone who loves blue and flowers.
NOTE: The black outline around the image is for easy viewing only and is not actually part of the card.
Begin with a Basic White card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5¼” piece of Pacific Point cardstock and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine dry emboss it with the new Painted Texture 3-D embossing folder and attach to the card front.
Add a ½ x 4” strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock across the lower section of the Pacific Point panel.
Stamp the large flower bundle in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut out using the coordinating dies from the Art Gallery Bundle. Remove the flowers and add the greenery to the card front.
Stamp the large again in Pacific Point ink and cut out using the dies and snip off the blue flowers to add to the greenery.
Next cut the Happy Birthday greeting from the Well Written dies in Basic Black cardstock and glue to the card front.
Now I know there was a little fussy cutting on this project, but it is worth it right? I am sure when you create cards using this set you will be inspired to send them to everyone you know. I am actually sending mine off tomorrow. My mother-in-law is turning 89 on Saturday! YIKES! My birthday may be coming up, but she still has a few year on me! LOL
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae
If you are like me and struggle creating manly looking cards, then you are going to love the new Well Suited Suite. It has everything you need to create that perfect card for the men in your life. Fun fact, the paper inspiration was actually created from a real tie collection from one of the employees at Stampin’ UP!
Today’s card was part of a make and take from a virtual stamping event and was created by fellow demonstrator Sally Nusbaum. Thanks Sally!!!
This second card was also included in the virtual make and take, but I changed up the original card just a bit. This one was created for a woman and the jewel bling to create the necklace was made using the Opal Rounds from the Sand and Sea Suite pictured on page 41 of the January thru June 2021 catalog.
The “Happy Birthday” greeting is stamped in Rococo Rose ink and punched out using the Double Oval Punch.
I hope you enjoy working with this suite and create many wonderful manly cards!
