Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card

 I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today.  I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point.  I hope you like how this turned out.  I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this.  To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel to watch the replay.  You will find it by clicking this direct link.

Wishing you good things with Notes of Spring card

For my featured product this week I will be working with the Notes of Spring stamp set.  This is an exclusive stamp set for the Stampin' Up! Product of the Month (POM) for March 2026.  It is available only while supplies last and is only available with a $75 purchase (USD) for $5.  Such a great set for a small amount of money.  I have found it to be quite versatile and easy to work with.  Cards can be made very quickly and still look like you spent a bit of time on them.  The two-step stamping allows you to color in the images using stamps, thereby taking less time.  Of course, you always have the option to color them.  I will have a card for you later this week where I did just that.  To watch the video tutorial on how I put this card together and so you can recreate it, head on over to my YouTube channel.  You will find the video by clicking this link.

Lights of Aurora Scenic Adventure card

Oh my gosh!  How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora.  It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products.  I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle.  I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was.  A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have.  It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Frosted Forest Masculine Thinking of You/Birthday card

 Hello everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  For the kids here in Sheridan, this is the last week of summer vacation.  I plan to soak up the most of it with our grandkids and spend some time at the beach this week.  The weather is supposed to be nice, but often when it's nice here at home, it's not so nice at the beach.  Hopefully, we'll have good enough weather to play in the sand. 

Now onto my card for today.  I made the original card you see here for my husband for our 44th wedding anniversary last Friday.  When I made the card during my YouTube live, I switched out the inside sentiment for a birthday card.  Either way, the design works well without changing the sentiment on the front.  I do love how it turned out.  You can watch the YouTube replay to see how I put the card together.

Beauty of Friendship Wildlife Wonder

 Happy Saturday to all of you!  I have a fun fold for you today.  My project utilizes a fabulous pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for the background.  You can watch the FB live replay of how I put this card together here: https://youtu.be/j8KF4U-Ixv4 

The above photo is the center fold of the card (sort of).  It features the tree and bird from Beauty of Friendship (currently on sale through March 31, 2022 for 20% off when you purchase the bundle) stamped on the beautiful New Horizons DSP all by Stampin' Up!  I love how easy it is to work with DSP to make beautiful scenery cards.

The photo above shows what the card looks like when it's closed and the side flap is over the card base as intended.  The DSP is again the New Horizons 6x6 DSP and the detailed bear comes from the stamp set called Wildlife Wonder.  Such a great stamp set to make masculine or nature cards with.  This bear is my favorite image.  

The photo shown here is the inside card.  I used a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of the same DSP I used on the card base to add to the right side of the inside layer.  The owl image is from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set.  I didn't add an inside sentiment to this card as I feel it can be used for many things and I will add the appropriate sentiment when I have a recipient and occasion in mind.

Supplies and Measurements:

Card Base 5 1/2" x 7 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" Evening Evergreen

Blackberry Bliss cardstock, 2 5/8" x 4", scored at 1 /2" and 3 1/8" x 5 3/8"

 x 5 1/4" and 1" x 5 1/4" from same sheet, scrap to stamp tree top image on, 2 1/2" x 3 3/8" for flap layer

Beauty of Friendship bundle (includes Beautiful Tree dies) 155834

Wildlife Wonder stamp set 157923

Inks: Evening Evergreen, Smokey Slate, Blackberry Bliss

Enjoy Life ghosting

 This is my card today.  I love how it turned out.  It utilizes the Enjoy Life photopolymer stamp set I. The 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual catalog.  My girl friend challenged me to teach our little group how to make cards with this stamp set.  This is one of them I came up with.

I started with a card base of crumb cake.  The main focal point is a piece of glossy cardstock.  I first stamped my images in versamark ink, then set them aside to dry.  I then started in the center of the card and sponged crumb cake ink across the image.  Then went to the bottom sponging granny apple green ink and finally finished the top portion with Balmy Blue.  I blended the green and crumb cake, but didn’t worry so much with the blue as I rather liked the lighter horizon line between those two.  Finally I stamped the sentiment also from the same stamp set in Stazon black in using the Stamparatus to ensure the stamp didn’t slip on the glossy card for a clean crisp image.  The focal image image is then mounted a piece of whisper white card 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 for the thinnest of borders.

I will use this as a make-n-take in an upcoming workshop.  I know the gals will love it.  It makes for a great masculine card that could be used for most any occasion.  I also think this qualifies for #simplestamping with one stamp set, ink and paper.  I did add a piece of linen thread to the bottom to dress it up just a bit.  I didn’t want to overwhelm the beauty of the focal image.
