Click on the button above to download your free pdf project sheet with photos, measurements and instructions for all three of today’s cards. I used several pieces of the Inked Botanicals Designers Series paper along with Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock cardstock. I used some scraps of Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry.

The vertical Happy Birthday is a very cool stamp and is featured in the 2023 Holiday mini catalog in the So Sincere stamp set. If you have not noticed this set, check it out! There are a lot of good greetings for your future card making! Happy Stamping!

Color Challenge or Color Challenged!

Happy Birthday / August 30, 2023 / Wanted to Say Dies

Sometimes I love playing around with different color schemes and at other times I seem to be color challenged. Of all my color choices with Stampin’ Up! I find that I use my Flirty Flamingo the least, so I thought I would challenge myself to see what I could come up with. I decided to use Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist and realized whenever I use a three color combo, I am color challenged! LOL

Today is my daughter’s 30th birthday and I am blessed to be able to celebrate her today. I know she will like this bright and cheery color combo. Happy Birthday sweetheart, let’s Celebrate You-today and everyday!

I used the Celebrate die from Wanted to Say, cropping the background pieces with Basic Black cardstock and the detailed die with Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. The present and hearts are some of the dies included with the Wanted to Say die set. I then stamped the “You” from Sentimental Park in Memento Black. I probably should have stamped it with Flirty Flamingo ink, after all I am supposed to be challenging myself to use that color more.

Oh well, I guess old habits die hard! Let me know in the comments if you love a color challenge or if you are color challenged! Either way, I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!

Translucent Florals –

Happy Birthday / August 22, 2023

Well the weekend at Danvers Days was so much fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful, but not so much this week. So glad that event is not this weekend. CLICK HERE for our August Stamp Camp Class dates and be sure to RSVP if you are planning to join us.

My card today comes from a demonstrator event in July. Ornetta Gilliam was so sweet to offer me one of her card swaps even though I did not have time to make any cards for the swap. Thank you Ornetta for your kindness and your beautiful card.

Ornetta’s beautiful card was created using the Translucent Florals stamp set that will be available in the upcoming September mini catalog. It looks like she used Tahitian Tide, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive ink. I think she used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to add the Gorgeous Grape and Tahitian Tide panels.

You cannot tell from the picture but she used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up that panel and added a few basic rhinestones to seal the deal. It is a very pretty card and I am so grateful to Ornetta for sharing it with us. Happy Stamping!

Patchwork Pieces – Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday / August 9, 2023 / Patchwork Pieces

I recently attended an event where the patchwork pieces were used to create a card very similar to today’s post. My friend and fellow demonstrator Sarah created the patchwork design. I love working with this die, but I am thinking my eye sight is not what it used to be as some of my patches are a little off, but hey that’s what makes a handmade card unique, right?

The card base was created using a piece of the new Azure Afternoon cardstock. It is layered on some Blueberry Bushel and some Berry Burst cardstock. If you have been stamping awhile then you might remember that Berry Burst was a past In-color that is now in our full line of color options.

The greeting is from the Wanted to Say dies featured on page 167 in the 2023-2024 annual catalog. I cropped those in white and Blueberry Bushel. If you have not checked out these dies, they are very versatile and add the perfect pop to any creation. If you earned some bonus coupons last month, this would be a great time to redeem them. All bonus coupons must be redeemed before August 31st! Happy Stamping!

A Birthday Milkshake-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday, Summer Fun / August 4, 2023

Happy Birthday to my brother, Greg! Today is his birthday and while I am not going to be able to share a Milkshake in person, I thought I would post this card for him. See I promised it would not be Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss! LOL

This bright and bold creation was made with Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo, quite the opposite of the darker neutral colors don’t you think? This fun summertime set is perfect for creating a special birthday card and I hope my brother enjoys his. I even got it in the mail on time, so he can enjoy his online and in-person birthday card!

My card base is the bright and cheery Lemon Lime Twist with a layer of Melon Mambo. The spoon is stamped with Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie cardstock. The fountain glass is a combo of Lemon Lime Twist and Smoky Slate and don’t forget the red cherry on top! Happy Stamping!!!!

Nature’s Prints – Happy Birthday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / August 1, 2023 / Artistically Inked, Nature's Prints, Two Tone Flora

Today I am combining the flowers from Two Tone Flora, the greeting from Artistically Inked and the dies from Natural Prints. I have to admit I don’t often use Natural Prints dies, I tend to go for the stamps so I am challenging myself to create with the dies. If you are in a crafting rut and are having a hard time getting those creative juices flowing, just pick a set that you haven’t used for awhile and see what you come up with.

I began with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a pop of color with Cherry Cobbler for my flowers. I did fussy cut a few individual flowers…..it’s just who I am! LOL Call me crazy, but I have to admit, I think the reason I don’t use this die much is because it is not quite a round wreath! Again, it is just who I am! Happy Stamping!

Sundaes For A Hot Summer Day!

2 Comments / Happy Birthday, Summer Fun / July 25, 2023

Today is one of those hot summer days that is perfect for sharing a an ice cream sundae. My card today was create using the Share a Milkshake bundle in the annual catalog. Growing up, we moved around a lot and I only remember the ice cream truck coming around when we lived in Springfield, Illinois, but I will always remember sharing a hot fudge sundae with my grandpa. It did not matter where we lived, I loved visiting him every summer!

Fun fact that is no secret in my family, my grandpa loved sweets, so it did not even have to be hot outside for us to share a sundae together. So no matter what the weather is like in your neighborhood today, go ahead and enjoy a sundae anyway! Happy Stamping!

Three Cards to Serve Others!

Happy Birthday / June 28, 2023 / Artistically Inked, Hope and Prayer, Translucent Florals

This Friday is my monthly card class for the residents at Mother of Good Counsel Home. I am always amazed at the joy and excitement they bring to class. I always try to create clean and simple stamping for them as they many of them have a hard time seeing. Sometimes I use current supplies and sometimes retired products. This month I am using a combination of both.

**Hope and Prayer -currently available**

My first card was created using Basic White and Pacific Point cardstock. While the Pacific Point is no longer available, you can always substitute Starry Sky.

**Translucent Florals-coming in September**

My second card was created using Basic White and Marina Mist cardstock. Again the Marina Mist is retired, but Balmy Blue or the new Boho Blossom would be a good substitute. I cropped the Basic White panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I seriously love these dies. The Translucent Florals Bundle is coming in the Holiday mini catalog this September.

**Countryside Corners -currently available**

My last card was created using the Countryside Corners stamp set and some of the Countryside Inn Designer Series paper. I cut the designer series paper with one of the Countryside corner dies and then cut a larger one with some Starry Sky cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Starry Sky ink and is from Artistically Inked, which is available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I hope you will enjoy creating with some of these sets and find a way to share your stamping talents with others!
