Hello Saturday! It’s beautiful here in New Jersey – and I’m INSIDE… attending a convention for a women’s organization. The great part is that I’m seeing folks I haven’t seen in a while; the unfortunate part is that I’m not out gardening or enjoying the sun. Having said all that – let me share today’s card…
This card is made with items from the Botanical Textures Suite of products: the Botanical Textures 12×12 DSP and the Textured Notes stamp set (which is also a bundle with dies). Black & white cards stand out and this one is no different. It’s made with Thick Basic White card stock 8 1/2 x 5 12, scored at 4 1/4 then 2 1/4 removed. I cut a Botanical Textured DSP1 7/8 x 5 3/8 and adhere to the remaining top portion. Open the card & stamp the inside :O) This is an easy, easy card to make… just stamps, ink, paper!
Using the Textured Notes stamp set and Memento ink, I stamped this stunning leaf on the upper right corner and the bottom left corner. I added a 3/8″ strip of the Botanical Textures DSPn to the bottom, then stamped this sentiment – also from the Textured Notes stamp set. LOVE THIS FONT! On each end of the sentiment I added black dots from … I forget which embellishments- maybe the Neutral embellishments from the suite?! And the card itself is done.
The envelope… Using Memento ink and another leaf stamp in this Textured Notes stamp set, I stamped on the flap 3 times, reinking the stamp each time. I did the same on the front of the envelope – & boom, complete! Such a quick and gorgeous card. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that since I made it 🙂
I couldn’t help myself – I simply HAD to play some more with the Lovely & Sweet Bundle + the Notes of Nature Bundle – and created today’s card. The Notes of Nature bundle has some very interesting stamps in it – perfect for creating an interesting background for a card or sentiments inside while the Lovely & Sweet stamp set has totally different images. I love how they work together! We made this card in card class yesterday and it’s interesting how folks react to having to use various stamps for a background as opposed to DSP. They really liked their card, but it took a different type of creativity to make it.
I used Pebbled Path and Pecan Pie inks to create the background for this card on Thick Basic White card stock. I then took dies from both Lovely & Sweet Dies AND Notes of Nature Dies to die cut images from the Nature’s Sweetness SDSP. I also die cut the long leaf image from Vellum Basics SDSP. The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White scrap and adhered to Pecan Pie card stock then added to the card with dimensionals. For a final touch on the card front, I added the Adhesive-Backed Cork Dots, then a bow tied from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in a Crumb Cake color with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the ‘notebook’ type image in Pebbled Path ink, then the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White insert, then attached that to the inside of the card. This turned out to be a very monochromatic card, which was not my goal when I initially made it – but I like the final outcome.
For the envelope… a piece of Pebbled Path from the Nature’s Sweetness SDSP pack for the flap, trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, a leaf image stamped in Pebbled Path ink using the Notes of Nature stamp set.

Good morning! My December Paper Pumpkin arrived yesterday and with no outside obligations last night I set right to work to put it together. The cards are gorgeous… and spring-like. There’s even a clear box for them so they can be given as a gift :O)
Here’s the first card & envelope.
Here’s card 2 with envelope.
Card 3 & envelope.
These last two photos show the envelope front and the acetate box with all nine cards inside. Notice there is a wrap around (belly band) piece with a single flower attached. Stampin’ Up! really went all out with this months kit. I love everything about them – and they took such a short time putting them together. I felt no need to come up with alternatives either – these are so pretty. At least for me – they fit the bill perfectly!
This kit is appropriately called All The Best and makes nine gorgeous cards. I’m hoping to pick up a refill or two when they become available. If you would like to start a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you can do that here. There are various types of subscriptions and you can find that info here.
The subscription period for the January kit began 11 December. We’re very excited to share with you a sneak peek at the upcoming kits and their unique features. Remember that with each kit comes a stamp set and an ink spot. It’s a great way to start a collection.
Make love-themed cards for special occasions, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and more with the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit! This kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection in the new Jan-Ap 2024 Mini Catalog.
January Paper Pumpkin Kit Details:
Kit Name: Lovely Lavender
This kit includes:
Makes 8 cards: 4 each of 2 designs with 8 coordinating envelopes
Good Monday morning! Gosh – here we are really INTO December. Have you decorated the house yet? We are in the midst and it is so very messy with all the boxes of decorations. The tree is the last thing to do… as we purchase a live cut tree. So we wait so it doesn’t become too dry and a hazard. :O)
Today’s post is all about gift card holders – and I have one to share that’s different. I like it!
Love this little gift card holder and I’m in the process of making a few. This SDSP is shiny and of course, two-sided. The panel is 4 x 12 scored at 3, 6, & 9 1/8. Burnish gently. On last panel mark 1/2″ from the last score line at the top of the segment; make another 1/2″ mark up from the bottom of the end panel and cut diagonally.
Add Tear n Tape where the white strips are. Cut a panel of Basic White 2 7/8 x 3 7/8, stamp with sentiment (here I used the Brightest Glow stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink) and adhere to second panel of SDSP (between 2nd & 3rd score lines). Remove Tear n Tape & close.
Cut about 20″ length of ribbon (here I used Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green combo pack); add Stampin’ Seal to ribbon about 6 1/2 from one end and for about 6″.; add to front panel and to second panel, centering from top to bottom. Now decorate!
I used the various sections of the Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the layers for the tree in Basic White. I attached each layer with dimensionals and added it over the ribbon – with dimensionals. I used the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the trim and the star atop the tree and added these ever to easily to the complete the tree. I die cut a banner to add a name with the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Basic White and two circles over the hole in Cherry Cobbler. I colored a length of white twine with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and tied it in a bow. This tag was attached with dimensionals. I die cut another tag jst as an illustration of where the gift card or check could be placed in the enclosure. And done!
This could so easily be used as a birthday gift card holder or graduation, or anniversary – just change up the Designer Series Paper and decorating the front panel – and there ya go.

Good morning! New day, new week, new plans. :O) I have a sweet box for you today made with the Delightfully Eclectic DSP and finished with Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and the Cheerful Daisies stamp set.
Now isn’t this a cute box? It’s fresh & I love the Black & White Gingham Ribbon with it. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia and die cut it with the appropriate die from Cheerful Daisy Dies, put dimensionals on top & bottom and added it over the ribbon. The daisy is also stamped in Fresh Freesia, with the center in stamped off once Memento ink. It was die cut with its appropriate die from Cheerful Daisy Dies and added with a single dimensional on the left & two stacked dimensionals on the right. The ribbon is held in place in the front with a couple of glue dots under the sentiment banner. What’s nice about that is the ribbon stays in place when it is untied to open the box. :O)
Here are the dimensions for the box and where to cut & trim.
Box: 4 x 11; score on long side 1, 5, 6. 10; score on short side at 1 and 3. Burnish all score lines then trim as shown.
You can see where the cuts are for this box and where the tape should be. You can choose to use adhesive tape as I did here or Stampin’ Seal+, which I used on another box. Both work very well.
The Delightfully Eclectic pack of paper holds 48 sheets, so lots of opportunities for playing with large sheets for boxes or gift bags.

It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.
I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.
As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:
By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.
The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock.Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.
When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.

Goodness, here it is Sunday already… Jan 8. Did you place an order yet from the new Jan-Apr Mini Catalog? It’s full of some gorgeous stamp sets, bundles, designer series papers. Today’s card is an All Occasion card, definitely feminine, made with the stunning FREE Designer Series Paper Favored Flowers from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. It also uses Stitched Rectangle Dies, Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and for glam, a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The card base is Blackberry Bliss card stock, and I used that for another layer behind the floral panel. The Designer Series Paper is Favored Flowers and it’s FREE with a $50 order during Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration. The DSP panel is 4 x 5 1/4. I then took the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle to remove the center. I die cut from the floral side of the DSP, then simply turned the larger piece over to show the different DSP pattern. I adhered that directly to the Blackberry Bliss card base. I added a panel of Blackberry Bliss to the floral pattern, and wrapped it with the Open Weave Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, tying a bow. There’s a glue dot behind the bow knot to hold it in place. I then added a scrap of card stock behind this floral panel to elevate it. I could have put it on dimensionals, but I didn’t want that much raise to the panel. And the card front was done.
For the inside… A panel of Basic White and a fussy cut flower from the DSP adhered in place. DONE!
For the envelope, more of the same DSP pattern on the envelope flap and another fussy cut flower adhered to the envelope front. DONE. I will be making several of these and then add a banner for Happy Birthday or With Sympathy, or a simple Hello there. How perfect to have a bunch of these on hand. They don’t HAVE to have a sentiment at all, I just want to be you see some options for this kind of card/ layout. I’ll do some of these with a more masculine paper later so you can see other possibilities. And you don’t have to use this DSP – use something else to make various possibilities.

Happy Happy 2023!I’ve been a bit out of the loop for a bit – hubby had surgery & my attention was all about that, then Christmas & family – and now, here we are. I hope you had a really good holiday, however you celebrate things. Ours was quieter, of course, but still wonderful. We are so blessed with wonderful family. – and hubby is improving every day. 👍🙏
My card today is a sneaky peek at one of the HOST stamp options for the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, which will be available come Jan 5. And that’s just really soon! I’ve also used some DSP that is free with a qualifying order during the Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration period – Dainty Flowers DSP.
Isn’t this a cute, sassy frog? I’m going to name him Alfred – and no, I have no idea where that came from. 😀 You can see there are no flowers on this side of the Dainty Flowers DSP – it looks similar to watercolors – love, love. And the hinge flap has a sentiment from another new stamp set called Sending Support – also FREE with a qualifying order during Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration. I’ve die cut the sentiment with Stylish Shapes Dies. I extended the length of the die cut a bit to make the sentiment fit. But I’ll explain that.
Hinge Flap Fun Fold:
Cut card base 81/2 x 5 1/2 and score at 4 1/4 on the long side.
Trim off 1 1/2 from the long side; score this at 4 1/4
Adhere this strip to the card base about 3/4″ from bottom with the fold on the edge (I adhered it lower and don’t like where it is!) This is now your hinge flap!
Decorate:
Cut panels of DSP: front – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; hinge flap – 1 1/4 x 4; inside – 1 3/4 x 4; envelope flap – 2 1/4 x 6
Cut Basic White panels: front – 2 1/2 x 4; inside 4 x 5 1/4; sentiment banner for hinge flap 1 1/4 x 3
On the front panel:
Stamp the frog in Old Olive – this is a two-step stamp, so stamp the inner then the outline
Stamp the log in Soft Suede – again aa two-step stamp, stamp the inner then then outline stamp
Stamp the bee in Crushed Curry & Memento inks – CC for the wings, then the body in Memento
Add this panel to the card front
On the inside panel:
Add the 1 3/4 x 4 DSP to the far right edge
Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Sending Support stamp set
Adhere this to the inside of the card, covering where the hinge flap is attached
On the hinge flap:
Add DSP to the flap (1 1/4 x 4)
Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink from Sending Support stamp set on the remaining Basic White strip
Die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies: Die cut about 2/3 of length by placing the top cutting plate so it covers just 2/3 of die; run it through the die cutting machine; replace die to cover other end of stamped sentiment, matching or lining up die, then placing top cutting plate just over that area to be die cut, run it through the die cutting machine – and done!
Attache die cut sentiment to hinge flap with dimensionals
Add Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to both hinge flap and card front
All that’s left to do now is the envelope & it is so easy…
Add 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Dainty Flowers DSP to the envelope flap & trim to fit
Stamp the small bees 3 times on envelope front in Crushed Curry ink using the At The Pond stamp set

Good Tuesday morning! It’s raining here this morning and has all night. Temperatures went up, now they are dropping ~ strange weather pattern. But… ‘nuf of that… let’s talk new offerings from Stampin’ Up! It’s the Fitting Florets Suite of products available now! WooHoo. Demonstrators, me included, have been playing with this for a bit and are really using it a lot. For today’s example, I’ve paired the Framed Florets stamp set with a different DSP only because the DSP was cut & sitting in front of me. 😏 Here’s the card & the inside so you can see some of the beauty of the flowers. I’ll also share a few of the cards I’ve already shared with this beautious suite.
For the card front I’ve fussy cut this sentiment from Framed Florets stamp set and adhered it over the Sahara Sand ribbon from theTwill Combo Pack. For the inside of the card I’ve stamped this gorgeous floral spray in Early Espresso and colored it with Stampin’ Blends (So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade) to coordinate with the card front. This spray stamp is just so sweet and delicate. And it coordinates so well with the red roses in this DSP. Here are a couple of other cards I’ve created from this suite of products.
In this card you can see a different stamp set used from the suite, Framed & Festive stamp set – and a couple of the stunning leaf dies. The oval dies in this are wonderful! The Gold Adhesive Swirls are used on each of the cards below for extra embellishment.
In the photo with the blue DSP – that’s from this suite of products, as are the stamps on the front of the card, Framed Florets stamp set.
Here’s another example of the DSP in this suite of products, along with more of the floral spray and dies.
In the photo with the greens & berries DSP, I colored the berries with Stampin’ Blends and you can see another of the oval dies & leaf dies too plus the Gold Adhesive Swirls.

Good Tuesday! I’ve gone a completely different route today, a non Christmas card. I’ve used this lovely Awash in Beauty DSP as a highlight background that really brings the card to life. The stamped flowers & leaves come from the True Beauty stamp set that has coordinating dies, but I’m not using the dies today. The sentiment is from Blessings of Home stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. For a bit of bling I’ve added the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. The background is a card base from the Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes that were free during Sale-a-bration with a qualified purchase. You could just as easily use Soft Sea Foam card stock for the card base. I was simply wanting to use these :O) This card has lots of layers, but is just that, layers. It’s not difficult.
I began by stamping the sentiment on the Basic White panel in Mossy Meadow ink. As mentioned, this comes from the Blessings of Home stamp set. I then pulled out Blushing Bride ink and the smallest flower in True Beauty stamp set and stamped in the corners of the panel. Soft Sea Foam ink and the leaf image were stamped randomly around – they also come from the True Beauty stamp set. This panel was added to a Blushing Bride piece, then to Soft Sea Foam. I set this aside for the moment to adhere the Awash in Beauty DSP to a Blushing Bride piece slightly larger. This was added to the Soft Sea Foam card base with dimensionals. I brought back in the stamped section, put dimensionals on it as well and added it to the card. The final touch are the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels scattered on the stamped panel. And there you have it! The inside is totally for writing a note to the recipient. Here’s another photo of the card.
