It’s Tuesday July 3 – and a blueberry picking day! We love blueberries and this is the right time of year… they are ripe and we are ready to go. We freeze most of them to have this first picking. Then we pick more and make muffins or pancakes or cobblers or jus eat the fresh to our hearts content.
Today’s post has nothing to do with blueberries :O). It’s a card gift bag.
The card is made with Delightfully Eclectic DSP and Basic Black card stock for the sides, bottom and handles. The label is Basic Black and Basic White, stamped with the Countryside Corners stamp set. Here are the dimensions:
Designer Series Paper: 6 x 4 1/2, cut 2
Coordinating card stock 3 x 6 (bottom panel) scored on both long sides @ 1/2″
same coordinating card stock 3 x 5, cut 2 (side panels), score on three sides @ 1/2″. Mark center on remaining short side and score from that mark to the right bottom corner where score lines meet. Score again from that same center mark to the bottom left corner where score lines meet.
Burnish all score lines
Trim bottom corners of side panels at angle – see photo below
Directions:
Add Tear n tape to the 1/2″ score lines on all pieces, adding it to the scored edge, close to the score line.
Attach DSP panels first, then side panels as shown.
Do one side at a time, removing tape of bottom side panel and attaching it to the bottom panel, then attach that same side panel to the DSP piece
Now do the same to the other side
Handles:
Cut 4 handles and adhere two together for strength. Here I used the Countryside Corners Dies to create the handles
Add Tear n Tape to the bottom portion of each handle and attach to each inside of the DSP see photo above
Decorate as desired:
Ribbon used: Satin Edged Ribbon & Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in white for bow
Basic Black and the Countryside Corners Dies for label
Basic White and Countryside Corners stamp and Countryside Corners smallest die
Fill with decorated cards to gift :O)
The label allows you the freedom to write in a name for the gift of goodies. And I guess you wouldn’t have to fill with cards, but could fill with just about anything. Just be careful the items aren’t too heavy! :O)
If you had a new team member, this would be a nice gift to fill with various adhesives – or as a hostess gift for someone hosting a party.

Good Sunday morning, July 2. First of all, I cannot believe it is July – did I say that yesterday? It still doesn’t seem like July. Maybe it will grow on me. :O) Today’s card uses a technique I haven’t done in a while and it’s so easy and just gives a card a different look. It’s called a ‘floating technique,’ which means an element looks as though it is sitting on top and unattached. It IS attached.
I’ve also used a new bundle that is part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and will be available July 6 – just a few days from now – Timeless Charm bundle. The die cut flower and the sentiment come from this set. The floating technique is the circle… 1/2″ strips adhered to a window sheet then die cut. For this card I used the Stylish Shapes Dies – the largest circle. This was added to the card base with dimensionals just on the strips so they don’t show. The paper is part of the Delightfully Eclectic pack of DSP. The flower, from Timeless Charm Dies, has lots of detail and is delicate. It too, is adhered with dimensionals – and was die cut from Crushed Curry, one of the coordinating colors for the pack of DSP. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White strip and comes from the Timeless Charm stamp set. I angled the ends and added it to the card with dimensionals as well. The embellishments are Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold.
Ha! I wrote on this card before taking the picture!!! Silliness. For the inside I used the die cut of the flower from Basic White as a stencil to create the inside flower. I used a Small Blending Brush and Fresh Freesia ink to color the flower heads, then switched to a sponge dauber and Old Olive ink to color the leaves & stems. I used a post it note tom cover areas I did not want inked.
This new bundle – Timeless Charm – has a couple of stamps that can be used as a color block or background, and I used one of those after stamping the sentiment in Memento ink. That background was stamped in Fresh Freesia after stamping off once. The Basic White panel was attached to the inside of the card – and all done.
Let me talk just a bit about ONLINE EXCLUSIVES… they are just that, not in any SU! catalog, but digital only. So for those of you who like doing everything digitally, this is one way to do that.
Here is a photo of the Timeless Charm bundle where you can see the flower die cut, the sentiments I used and the ‘background’ kind of stamp as well as other stamps & dies in the set. Since this just arrived on my doorstep the other day, this is my first play – and I can’t wait to create with it some more. Love the leaves and the dies that coordinate. If you are interested in purchasing this product and others from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, this bundle will be available July 6 along with the Santa Sleigh bundle. However, there are many other products available on line from my store. You may shop those products here.

Good morning – and July 1 has rolled around quickly!!! I’ve been out of touch lately, stepped back for a couple of reasons: some family health issues and a family reunion. The family health issue is turning around (at least we think so!) and the family reunion was for my hubby’s side of the family which we ran. Family came from Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Washington state, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey (this was us!). There were 27 of us in one house from 11 months to 85 years – and we fed them all for three days… Talk about a challenge! We had some wonderful help from those attending and today’s cards are for some of the hardest workers. Yes, I have more to make, but this is a start. Here are the three cards.
And a closer look at each card:
This card uses the
This card was made using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing Folder, Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP, Petal Pink and Basic White card stocks, all on a Lost Lagoon card base. The ribbon is Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon and the Gems are Iridescent Pastel Gems in gold. I used Layering Leaves stamp set for the sentiment and Countryside Corners Dies for the layers.
This card was made with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Gorgeous Gingham 6×6 DSP, Gray Granite, Pretty Peacock and Basic White card stocks, The card base is Pretty Peacock. I used the Layering Leaves stamp set and the coordinating Bough Punch, stamped in Pretty Peacock ink. The bow is Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in white and the embellishments are Classic Dots in Gray. Again, the Countryside Corners Dies were used to create the layers.
Card 3 is made using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Basic White card stock for the layers. The leaves come from a new bundle which will be in the next Mini Catalog :O) and it is Translucent Florals & Translucent Florals Dies. The leaves on the card front were stamped on Vellum in Lost Lagoon ink and heat set, then die cut. The sentiment is from the Translucent Florals stamp set as well. White Baker’s Twine for the bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. Embellishments used were the Iridescent Pastel Gems in gold. And yes, the Countryside Corners Dies were used to create the layers.
And now, a couple of photos from the reunion : the large group is all 27 of us; the group of four is our daughters, hubby and me. :O)
Special Blessings to each of you. Hope you enjoy today’s cards. More to follow tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day.
Hello Saturday! I’m heading home today after being with Grands for several days. It was extra nice being with them. Yesterday’s card featured grandson Dan’s card that he made. Today’s card features Jodi’s card. :O)
Off-set gate fold simply means one folded side is larger than the other, which is kind of obvious here. It could use a belly band but it does not have one. The colors in this DSP are so vibrant and funky fun. The card base is Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 1 3/4 & 6. Fold both to the front and they match nicely. Cover the two fronts in DSP so the pattern flows from one to the other. Stamp the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White piece using the Layering Leaves stamp set and die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies. Attach to the right side of the fold with dimensionals. Add Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo – Jodi’s choice!
For the inside of the card, more of the same Masterfully Made DSP on each side panel. For the middle panel, Basic White 4 x 5 3/8, the stamped sentiment is from Layering Leaves in Memento ink. The sweet flower is from Textured Floral stamp set and stamped in Daffodil Delight. Adhere panel to inside of card and done, done.
This sounds like a broken record, but this DSP is part of the special DSP sale @ 15% off select DSP packages. Read on for more info on that.

Good Friday morning. I have an easy card for you today, that my grandson Dan made for his Dad for Father’s Day. Remember, I have limited supplies with me (only three stamp sets!) so no Happy Father’s Day stamp. I know… I should have planned better. Here’s his card.
I cut and scored the papers, he did everything else, including choosing the sentiments. I really like this card and know his Dad will too. Basic White Thick card stock for the card base, scored at 2 1/4 and 5 1/2. The 5 1/2 score is a valley fold and the 2 1/4 a mountain fold. it looks like this.
This could be an easel card, but it isn’t :O) The three card front panels are adhered together and attached to the upper panel, making certain the adhesive is only on the upper portion. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap using the Layered Leaves stamp set & die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. It was attached with dimensionals. The embellishments are the 2023-2024 In Color Dots in Moody Mauve.
For the inside… The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink using the Layered Leaves stamp set ~ on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. This was adhered in place and the 1 1/4 strip were added in various widths – Dan’s idea! I really like how it carries that DSP throughout the card.
Oh, and the DSP at the top of the card… I forgot to mention that. It’s 3 1/8 x 4 1/4. You can also see I took the photo AFTER he wrote on it… I didn’t think it was appropriate to share his thoughts here. His Dad is in hospital right now and it’s likely the kids won’t be with him on Father’s Day. Here’s another photo of the card.
This DSP is on sale right now @ 15% off the regular price. There are several DSP’s on sale through June – see below for more details.

Welcome to the happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today for our hop & I’m again using some new products I haven’t used yet :O) – Nested Essential Dies for one.
As you can see I turned the sketch sideways and changed the center shape, but it works. The Nested Shapes Dies was used to die cut the center image from Masterfully Made DSP. That was my starting point and I built the card around that. Crushed Curry is a match to the yellow and I splattered it lightly with the Light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I ran a strip of Basic White through one of my new favorite embossing folders called Exposed Brick 3D EF.. I adhered this directly to the Crushed Curry card base. I added the Nested Shapes die cut with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the shape you see from the Nested Shapes Dies. It was added to the card with a dimensional at the flat end and a dab of glue at the pointy end. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst, the largest color in the center die cut.
For the inside… I added the sentiment (completing the thought from the card front) three times in Memento ink on a Basic White panel. (Remember, it comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set.) At the bottom, I added a strip of the leftover Masterfully Made DSP. This panel was added to the inside of the card and done, done.
I call this a masculine card, but it wouldn’t have to be. Remember, this is one of the Designer Series Papers on sale for 15% off. Continue reading below for more info about that!

Good Wednesday morning… I am with my Grandkids and today is finals week. Last night our grandson was studying for a history final. Goodness, I could not believe the questions – quite difficult. He’s done really well this week and I’m super proud. :O) OK… my card.
I used the new Gorgeous Garden Dies, which is another stand alone set, meaning no stamp set is bundled with it. It really is gorgeous.
I began with Lemon Lime Twist card stock and with Blending Brushes, added Calypso Coral ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink, then die cut the piece with my cut & emboss machine. I ran it through a couple of times as this is a really intricate die cut and I wanted all the detail. I used little dabs of liquid glue under all the leaves to attach the die cut to the Lemon Lime Twist card base. Since I needed a sympathy card I decided on this sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set and stamped it with Mossy Meadow ink. It’s die cut with a die from Cheerful Daises Dies, but I removed one end as I liked the look better. I tied a double bow and added it to the sentiment banner. The banner is attached with dimensionals. And the card front was done.
For the inside I used a left over strip from the blending done on the card front and adhered it near the bottom of the Basic White panel. I then stamped this beautiful image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink along the one side. I goofed just a bit because I don’t have my acrylic blocks with me, but I still like the effect. And this panel was adhered to the inside of the card – done, done.
This card looks so pretty in person and the photos don’t really show it off. I’m so sorry!

Hello this shiny bright Tuesday! I have a really pretty card for you today, made with the Paper Florist Dies. This is a stand alone die set that allows you to create all KINDS of flowers your imagination can envision. And there are three leaf dies as well. Let’s take a peek at this fun card.
This card uses a couple of new products in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog: Pebbled Path card stock for the card base; an embossed layer using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder, and a returning color to the palette – Pretty Peacock. The other colors used to make these creations are Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Basic White and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Embellishments used were Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink & Balmy Blue and Linen Thread doubled and made into a bow.
Since this is a stand alone set of floral and leaf dies, the sentiment comes from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set and was die cut with a banner die from the Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was stamped using Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I’m trying to keep my sentiment stamping to a bare minimum as I’m away and FORGOT MY ACRYLIC BLOCKS. Go figure… don’t even ask how I could forget them. I just did.
For the inside, I die cut the tulips in two parts: Basic White for the flower and Garden Green for the stems. These were adhered to a Basic White panel and attached to the inside of the card. The simplicity comparison with the card front is quite a contrast. I hope you like…
All flowers were attached to the card base with liquid glue. As you can see, some of the petals are curled up and some are curled downwards – as in the Pretty Peacock flower. The white daisy like flower has many layers. I just kept adding petals until I was happy with the look.
I’m afraid there is no envelope.. forgot to bring those with me as well. I’ll have to remedy that situation when I return home. For now I’m where I’m supposed to be and I have no regrets.

Masterfully Made is one of the Designer Series Papers on SALE @ 15% off… so I’m showcasing it a couple of times this week. And here’s the deal about this week – I’m not at home in my craft space. I only have some supplies… and I forgot some important items… like acrylic blocks (duh!) and envelopes. Silliness.
For today’s card I took a piece of this beautiful Masterfully Made DSP & cut it into a smaller panel (3 3/4 x 5). Then I cut it into strips: 1″, 7/8, 3/4, and continued down like that. I added all but the largest strip to a panel of Crushed Curry, wrapped a length of Linen Thread around it a couple of times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the sentiment using Memento ink and the New Textured Floral stamp set. Since I forgot my acrylic blocks I bet you’re wondering what I used… I used one of the acrylic plates from my Cut & Emboss machine – clever, right?!
For the inside I added the largest strip to the bottom of a Basic White panel, then attached that to a Crushed Curry piece, then to the inside of the card. I have a definite plan for this card so wanted to keep the inside plain for my own personal message. Isn’t this DSP just so pretty?!

Good Memorial Day! Men and women gave their lives that we might be free ~ free to practice our faith, free to speak out, etc and etc. The list is pretty long of the freedoms we have that other countries do not. Thank you to those who served both us and our country ~ for your dedication, for your strength of character, for your willingness. Bless you. I am so very grateful.
My card today is a fun fold and could be used for graduation, a birthday, a job promotion, for just about any type of celebration. It includes a place for a gift card or money or an additional note.too.
What a fun card to create. My juices were flowing. This card has three layers: card base, middle layer and the top decorated layer. I began with a card base of Azure Afternoon (what a beautiful shade of blue.) After scoring and burnishing, I punched the top two corners for a different look, using the Very Best Trio Punch. I added a layer of Blueberry Bushel to each of the three panels. The next layer is Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP on the top & bottom panels. For the center panel, I stamped with Azure Afternoon ink on a Basic White panel using the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. Next I attached an adhesive sheet to a small piece of the Bright & Beautiful DSP (part of the DSP Sale June 1!!!), removed the top of the adhesive sheet and added a piece of the Gold Celebrations Acetate. I die cut two balloons and a piece for the card holder. That acetate really added something special to the card! I added the smaller balloon to the center panel then added a length of the Simply Elegant trim in gold and adhered the Basic White panel to the center. The larger balloon was put on dimensionals and I added a bit of a tassel die cut from Gold Foil Sheets and attached these to the upper panel. I used the Radiating Stitches Dies to die cut a circle, then stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink. I used the 1 3/4 circle punch (from SU! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) to punch an Azure Afternoon circle and adhered the two circles together. I added a Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat to the top panel and placed the circle over (yep, it is on dimensionals as well.
For the bottom panel, I had added the Gold Celebrations Acetate to a Bright & Beautiful piece, then added the Tear n’ Tape to the sides and bottom and attached it to the card. And the card is done! Whoops – not quite… the ribbon at top… I punched an oblong opening using the Very Best Trio Punch, slipped another length of Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat and tied it with a piece of Simply Elegant Trim in Gold.
