Hello Sunday! We are slated to have a pretty nice day today – after a drenching rain yesterday that we desperately needed. Those fires in South Jersey did not affect us personally, but they weren’t far. Lots of businesses destroyed & 15,000 acres burned. We needed this rain to put out remaining hot spots on the forests floor. Sigh.
Today’s card is about new life – a baby boy – and I’ve used the carrying over Cutest Onsie Bundle to make it, and Balmy Blue.
I began with by stamping a Balmy Blue panel (4 x 5 1/4) with these cute ‘clouds’ (think dreamy 🙂 and Balmy Blue ink. I then stamped the ‘onsie’ with Memento ink and with a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends, colored the neck, sleeves and bottom edges. I also stamped the star in Memento ink. I die cut the onsie and set it aside. Next I stamped the sentiment on two pieces of Lemon Lolly card stock, inking just a portion of the sentiment for each stamping. It was stamped in Azure Afternoon ink I adhered the strips with liquid glue then paced the onsie on dimensionals and overlaid the strips The embellishments are Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly. This panel was adhered to Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then attached to a card base of Balmy Blue (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the onsie with Memento ink on a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP (Balmy Blue of course) and while die cutting, I also die cut the pocket for the onsie. I adhered it directly to the Basic White inset (4 x 5 1/4) then stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink and the hearts too. This was attached to the inside of Balmy Blue card base for the completed card.
For the envelope, more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. This added touch just unifies every project – love this! And there ya go… a baby boy card for a new little one.

Good Saturday morning! It is crisp this morning on the East coast, which made for a beautiful walk. For my card this morning, I’m using a retired DSP as the fun fold part and DSP from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. It made for a fun creation.
The retired DSP is Joy of Christmas 12×12 and the birds are directly die cut from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are dimensionals on a Basic White banner die cut from the Greetings of the Season Dies. The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Satin Ribbon. Now let’s open the card to see what’s inside.
The Basic White panel is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and comes from the Greetings of the Season stamp set – so I used the bundle on this card. The pine frond on this panel is a Shaded Spruce die cut from the Golden Greenery Dies. The larger pine branch is a die cut from the Graceful Greenery Vellum using a matched die from the Golden Greenery Dies. And because it’s vellum and see through, I added a Basic White behind it, die cut with the same die. Now let’s open this the other way to see the other side of the DSP.
I added this beautiful die cut in Basic White – just cuz – the panel needed something more. This also comes from the Golden Greenery Dies. And in this photo, you can see the DSP is adhered to a Cherry Cobbler base. For the measurements and card cuts, see below.
Want to remake this card? The Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog has lots of choices of 12×12 DSP that can be used. See all the items in that catalog here.

Good Saturday! What is your day like where you live? Here in New Jersey it is rainy and about 71 degrees. A day for staying inside! Wednesday I had a card class using the super fun Sophisticated Sled bundle. I love this card and this bundle…
I used several different products to make this card, but let’s begin with the card base – Shaded Spruce 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, then trim off on the long side 2 3/4. This panel becomes the background for the sled. :O) Next I cut pieces of Sentimental Christmas DSP and adhered them to the card base: 4 x 2 1/2 (cut 2, one for card front top and one for inside); 4 x 2 3/4 (this is my stripe panel). And since there is some overlap here, I added a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2 x 4.
I stamped the inside top panel in Shaded Spruce ink with a stamp from Sophisticated Sled stamp set. Back to the card front… with the DSP adhered, I added the 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 panel removed from the card base by centering it and added adhesive just to the top portion. Now the super fun part – the sled.
From Silver Foil Sheet (2 x 4) die cut the sled rungs and skate bottoms
From Basic White (2 x 2 3/4) die cut the skate shoes and laces
From Country Woods DSP (2 x 3 & note the direction of the grain) die cut the sled.
From Full of Life DSP die cut the green leaf spray. There are two layered together here, offset, so the variegation of the DSP shows.
Putting it all together…
Adhere the wood-grain Country Woods sled top to the silver sled rungs. NOTE: the sled top has tiny holes on each side – line those up with the silver cross bars. There are two parts to the sled top die cut, the second does not show as it is under the green spray, but that portion used to ‘guide’ the sled if someone was riding it. (Remember those days?) Adhere this piece in place at a silver cross bar.
Glue the two leaf sprays together in the center only, then add to the sled ‘cross bar’ in center only.
Skates shoes … there is a tiny slit to insert the laces, adhere those in place; add silver ‘skate’ to shoe bottom. Add left skate shoe to sled with dimesnionals, then right skate shoe with dimensionals on bottom of skate
Add sled to Shaded Spruce panel with dimensionals
Add Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries to green spray
Add White Loose Snowflakes as shown with dots of liquid glue. This is a bit fiddly but worth the effect/ look!
Now turn the card over to the back… to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, add 3 die cut snowflakes using the Frozen Edges Dies. I die cut these from scraps of the Sentimental Christmas DSP. I added Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes on each of these – in gold, copper and white, adhered the panel in place and the card was complete!
For the envelope… I cut a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the bottom two times, then the final stamp on the side.
Love, love, love this card! Maybe because it brings back such fond memories of snow & sledding the hills of a golf course back home – really good memories.
LOTS GOING ON IN THE STAMPIN’ UP! WORLD – give me a few minutes to share the excitement…
