Happy Wednesday. Today I am featuring one of our designer series paper packs in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, Countryside Inn. The colors featured in this paper are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy. This paper pack is featured on page 129 in the AC catalog. I combined this paper pack with a one of the new bundles in the January 2024 mini catalog, Perennial Postage.
I began with a Basic White card, added a panel of Night of Navy, followed by a panel of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used the flip side of this paper to create the greeting tag, cropping it with one of the Perennial Postage dies. The greeting is stamped with silver ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
I think you will love the versatility of this new bundle. The dies are great for creating cards and scrapbook pages. Have fun playing with all these blues and creating with the new postage dies. Happy Stamping!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae

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.

Todays card features the You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack and I am excited to share that it is on sale! So now is the time to stock up on your favorites!
I started my card with a Basic White card base and cut a strip of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper that measures 2¾ x 12. I used the second largest Stitched so Sweetly dies to cut out the peach side of the paper and the largest to cut out a panel of Calypso Coral.
I trimmed the remaining strip to measure 5½ and flipped it over so the blue side was showing and layered it on the left side of the card front. I then layered the peach rectangles to the card front.
I again used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and cropped the second smallest using Basic White cardstock, stamped the greeting on it in Calypso Coral ink and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Creating cards with the True Love black and white paper pack is not only easy but quick. This card came together in a matter of minutes. The only part that took a bit of time was the coloring of the flowers. Even that can be quick when using the Stampin’ Blend markers.

Basic Black Cardstock- 5½ x 8½, 3-1/8 x 5-5/8,1½ x 2½,

Directions
Score Basic Black cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold & burnish.
Attach 2 x 5¼ strip of True Love DSP to the left side of card front.
Layer the True Love dotted DSP panel to the Basic Black panel and then layer to the 3¼ x 4¾ Basic White panel. Layer all to the card front as shown above.
Stamp greeting in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and crop using the Double Oval Punch. I used the thank you from Beauty of Friendship, but you have a ton of options, so go crazy.
Crop a scallop oval in Basic Black using the Double Oval Punch.
Layer the greeting oval to the black oval and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color several flowers and leaves from the True Love DSP and use paper snips to fussy cut and attach to front of card.

There are a few different layers to this card, but it really does come together quickly and the pop of color created with the Stampin’ Blend markers is the perfect finish to an elegant card. This would make a great wedding or anniversary card. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Wow it is almost the end of February, where did that month go? It was really cold and snowy here is St. Louis this month, so one would think that time would have slowed down a bit, but alas, here we are at the end of another month, but of’ course tired of the cold and ready for spring.
Today along with my card, I thought I would share with you another card from a dear friend, Mary Steinau.

So since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day I thought I would offer one more card for the holiday. Did you know that making this Valentine’s Day card was so much cheaper than buying one at the store? Well, I suppose I could find one at Dollar Tree, but it would not be as fancy and this one is made the love.
I decided to go with non-traditional colors, especially since yesterdays card was filled with red hearts! Today I used the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, the Tailored Tag punch, the hearts from Kangaroo and Company and of’ course the Heartfelt Bundle.
Begin with a Rococo Rose card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold in half to create your card.
Cut a 3 ¾ x5” piece of Basic Black cardstock. Use the Tailored Tag punch to punch out some designs from the Peony Garden paper pack and glue them to the black panel leaving even spaces between each design. TIP: I glued the pieces and some of them hung over the edge of the card panel. Once you are finished attaching all the pieces, flip the card to the back and trim off excess. SUGGESTION: I recommend using liquid glue to attach the pieces as it will be more forgiving when trying to create the even borders all around.
Attach the black design panel to another piece of Basic Black cardstock that measures 1/8” smaller than the panel.
Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut the small heart die from the Kangaroo and Company dies in Rococo Rose cardstock. I cut 7 hearts, you may want more, less, or none at all depending on your taste in design.
Uses the Heartfelt Bundle to stamp the greeting on a piece of Rococo Rose cardstock in Memento Black ink and punch it out with the smooth heart punch. Now punch a scalloped heart in black. Attach the two hearts together and add to the front of your cards.
Because I already have a few layers going and I am going to mail this card out, I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals, but they would look good as well, especially if you are hand-delivering your creation.
For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and attach to the inside panel. Stamp the greeting from the Heartfelt Bundle in Rococo Rose ink. Next stamp the dotted heart in Memento Black around the rose heart.
