Today’s card features a birthday card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. The Designer Series Paper I used is called Pattern Party and it’s a host only item. You can earn it with a personal order or by hosting a party. It’s a huge pack of paper and includes 48 pieces of beautiful paper. You can see more information about it in the Annual Catalog on page 171 or here.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. Next, using Basic White cardstock, I cut a stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the sentiment towards the bottom of the rectangle using Memento ink and the stamp set Sweet as a Peach.
Using a scrap of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cone in Cinnamon Cider ink. I also used Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp the marks on the cone and cut it out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream scoop onto Basic White cardstock using Coastal Cabana ink and used Early Espresso ink to stamp the sprinkles. I love Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream so to me, they look like little chocolate chips. I cut the scoop out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I adhered the cone to the stitched rectangle using Multipurpose Glue but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the scoop before placing it on the cone. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front of the card. Another option would be to use our Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Stampin’ Up! has a new Mini Catalog debuting on January 4, 2022. If you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered a catalog for you in late November and you’ll be receiving it directly from Stampin’ Up!. As I understand, they were mailed in early December so be on the lookout for it soon (it will also include the Sale-a-Bration brochure). If you placed an order from me for the first time in the month of December, I will be directly mailing yours to you.
Last Friday I shared two cards with you (and a free tutorial) and unfortunately the Designer Series Paper I used on both cards is no longer available. So I made another version of the card using Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.
I also used the stamp set In Symmetry along with the Layering Circles Dies.
You can find the measurements I used in last week’s free tutorial along with the directions on how to create this fun fold card. The Supply List for today’s card can be found below.

Update: It’s that time of year when it’s hard to know what will still be in stock from day to day. I wrote today’s tutorial several days ago when Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper was not on the Low Inventory List and unfortunately, it sold out yesterday which means that for both of the cards I’m sharing, you can’t purchase the Designer Series Paper.
I try to never show products you can’t purchase because that’s frustrating for you, but it’s really challenging right now. As I mention in my post, this is an easy card to replicate with paper you already own and a coordinating cardstock. I’ll create a card this weekend using this same design with paper from the Annual Catalog and post it on Monday.
Today I have two fun fold cards for you. Unfortunately I made one of the cards with Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper before it sold out so I made another one using Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. Normally I wouldn’t share a card with retired paper but if you were lucky to get a pack before it sold out, you now have another idea for it. The design of this card is so versatile that you could use any paper and make it a thank you or birthday card and change out the sentiment.
The first card features Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (retiring and available while supplies last) and the second one was made with Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper, which as I mentioned above, has already sold out.
You can find the FREE tutorial below the Supply List.

The supplies for the two cards are the same except for the cardstock and Designer Series Paper. The Mint Macaron cardstock & Mint Macaron Blends (I used the Dark Mint Macaron Blend to color the rhinestones ) are for the second card. The FREE tutorial will be for the Heartwarming Hugs card.

Update: Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper has just sold out.
Today’s card features Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. Both of these products are retiring and available while supplies last or January 3, 2022.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card and added a layer of Read Red cardstock. Then I adhered a piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to the bottom of a piece of Basic White cardstock.
Below are the coordinating colors for Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper
I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink (Pear Pizzazz ink will also work and will be a little lighter) using the stamp set Heartfelt Wishes. Then I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon around the middle and tied a knot. This ribbon is retiring and it’s on sale! I adhered this piece to the Real Red cardstock.
To add some sparkle, I added three rhinestones around the sentiment. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
