Hello Gourd-geous double wedge center panel fun fold card

Simply Leaves with a floral twist

 Today I have a card using the Simply Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! but with a floral twist to the design.  I hope you like it.  I was inspired by a card I saw using the leaves to make a sunflower.  It inspired to me to make this floral design.  I added a fun fold and used the Everyday Arches dies and I was very pleased with the results.  This card would make a beautiful birthday card or work for several other occasions as well just by changing the sentiment.  Of course, you can personalize the card with the recipient's favorite color as well.  There are so many ways to use it don't you think?  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Celebrate card with a mash up of bundles by Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today's project is a mash up of some new products by Stampin' Up!  I've taken the Cheers & Sips bundle and added in the Beautiful Motifs bundle to make this card.  Unique and quite striking don't you agree?  I used the drink with the umbrella because it reminded me of a time when my elderly neighbor and friend (more like my adoped grandpa) would make Shirley Temples for my girls and myself on a hot summer day.  He's been gone quite some time now and I miss him every day.   It brings back such wonderful memories and a smile for my heart.  To watch the video tutorial, head on over to my YouTube channel.  I'll teach you how to make it.

Measurements and Supplies:

Cheers & Sips bundle* 165594 (includes stamps and coordinating dies)

Beautiful Motifs bundle* 165206 (includes stamps & coordinating dies)

Everyday Arches dies 164629 (can be purchased in a bundle with coordinating stamps)

More Messages die 165472 (can be purchased in a bundle with coordinating stamp)

Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots 166139

Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper 165586 (cut glasses from one of the sheets)

Basic White Thick cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in center at 4 1/4" for card base

Basic White cardstock for stamping/die cutting & inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Secret Sea two-tone cardstock for die cutting foliage

Ink Pads: Pretty in Pink, Cloud Cover, Blackberry Bliss, Berry Burst, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive

I think today's card can be used for so many celebratory occasions.  I will add an appropriate sentiment inside the card once I get ready to send it off.  I hope you will give this a try.  Hopefully, you purchased these bundles last month while they were on sale.  If not, they are still available in my online store.  Click on the shopping cart to purchase all of your Stampin' Up! supplies.  I would love it if I could earn your business.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
