Over the last few days I’ve shown several pocket cards (you can see them below) and I have one more! I gave today’s card to my brother-in-law, Dan, for his birthday, as well as the blue one below. I attached a gift card to the bottom half of the Very Vanilla piece of cardstock that slips inside, using glue dots.
You can see the original posts for both of these cards HERE and HERE.
The beautiful Moroccan Designer Series Paper, used to create my card today (and the blue one) is on the retiring list AND on sale but only while supplies last! To see the sale price, simply click the picture below!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Last week I posted a Pocket Card after visiting the strawberry farm near my home. You can see that card HERE as well as all the directions to create it and the dimensions.
We celebrated my brother-in-laws birthday on Sunday so I made several (I’ll share another one tomorrow) masculine pocket cards using the retiring Moroccan Designer Series Paper (on sale!). 
I had planned to take the gift card out of its packaging and use glue dots to place it on the card that slips in the pocket but I wrote my sentiment and completely forgot that’s what I was going to do. I was so excited when I realized that it FIT INSIDE PERFECTLY! Yep, I was doing the happy dance!
The “celebrate” stamp set is a sneak peek at one of the sentiments in a new stamp set debuting on June 1st called Happy Birthday Gorgeous!
I slipped my card into a gift bag and then added tissue paper! Easy wrapping! It would also fit inside one of our Very Vanilla Medium Envelopes.
All of the crafting supplies you’ll need to create my card are listed below. Simply click on any picture and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store!

If you’re a mom, I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday! I wasn’t able to be with my daughters but I spent the day with my mom which made me happy!
Today I’m sharing the card I made for my mom. I recently purchased the Large Letters Framelits and thought they’d work perfectly for the card I wanted to create! I will be completely frank with you here and say that these Framelits are very pricey but letters never go out of style. Right? You can use them for cards, scrapbook layouts, small gifts . . . . I’ll work on some projects in the near future showing different ways to use these very versatile dies. These dies are also available as a bundle with the Letters For You stamp set which will save you 10%. I know it ‘s a bit confusing but the bundle is on the retiring list although the individual products will still be in the new catalog. The bundle price is only while supplies last. Click on the picture below if you’d like to add this bundle to your cart.
Letters for You Bundle

I used three new products that you can purchase on June 1st when the new catalog goes live. The base of my card is Berry Burst, one of the new In Colors. I’m a pink girl so this color makes me very happy. My flowers were made using the Berry Burst stamp pad.

Normally I wouldn’t show you a card using three different stamp sets, but since I was making this card for my mom, I went all out. My little flower was stamped with Birthday Blooms, the greenery is from Jar of Love and Love You, comes from a new stamp set (again, available on June 1st) called Happy Birthday Gorgeous. The sentiment actually says, I Love You, but I only inked up Love You.
After inking up my letters, I cut two more of each letter and stacked them on top of each other using Liquid Multipurpose Glue. I ended up still using Stampin’ Dimensionals to get more height but if I had to do it again, I would have added more layers instead.
I used Wild Wasabi for one of the card layers and the greenery. I tend to like darker greens but Wild Wasabi worked beautifully for the look I wanted.
Stamping Supplies – Here’s the list of all the supplies I used (I can’t post new products until the catalog goes live on June 1, 2017). See something you want to purchase? Just click the pic and you’ll head on over to my online store!

Last week I went strawberry picking with my daughter and grandchildren. It didn’t take long to pick a ton of berries and they were so delicious! We had rain a few days later so we were glad we had timed our visit just right!
As I was eating strawberry after strawberry, I remembered that I had strawberry paper in my package of Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper (this paper is on sale 20% and while supplies last). I couldn’t pass up making a card with this cute paper. I’ll post all the dimensions but can I share a few pictures first?
This pocket card is very easy card to make! You’ll make two score lines – one at the halfway point and the other will be folded down to create the pocket.
The sides of the card are not glued together but instead tied up with linen thread. The Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper includes 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ two sided paper and what I’ve used shows both sides of one sheet. Ready for the measurements? If you make this card, I’d love to see your creation!
Whisper White (base of card): 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″ and 1-1/2″
Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 3″ and 4″ x 1-1/4″
Whisper White (for inside of card): 5-1/4″ x 4″
Have a wonderful weekend!

For the past several days I’ve shared several ideas using the stamp set Butterfly Basics. It’s a great set with so many possibilities and it comes in either wood mount, clear or photopolymer.
To create my card, I first stamped it with Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and then used my Copic markers to color it, which are a non Stampin’ Up! product. The base of the card is Whisper White. I embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Petal Burst embossing folder and layered it on top of a piece of Real Red cardstock.. The sentiment, also included in the Butterfly Basics stamp set, was stamped in Memento Ink and cut out with the Layering Ovals Framelits using the Big Shot.
Card Dimensions – Below you’l find the dimensions for my card. I love seeing your creations so if you make this card, please email me! You’d make my day!
Whisper White (card base): 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
Real Red: 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White (embossed layer): 5″ x 3-3/4″
Real Red: 4″ x 2-1/2″
Whisper White (flower): 3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″
