A beautiful package of Designer Series paper called Delightful Daisy, will be making its appearance on June 1st in the new catalog. This was an item I was able to preorder at the beginning of the month and I love it!! I thought I would do a mini-series showing you a card or project each day using this gorgeous paper!
I love flowers so this pattern is right up my alley. Each package of Designer Series Paper lists the colors that will coordinate with the paper. No longer do you need to guess what colors will work since it’s done for you! This is a feature I really appreciate! This package coordinates with Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pool Party, Tranquil Tide and Whisper White. If you’re familiar with Stampin’ Up! colors you’ll notice that I used a color not listed, Wisteria Wonder! I think it looks beautiful with this paper so you can add this color to your catalog when you receive it.
My sentiment comes from a set that will be returning in the new catalog, Awesomely Artistic. After stamping “Friend,” I cut the oval out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and mounted it onto an oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits using Wisteria Wonder. These two Framelits really complement each other well!
Below you’ll find a list of all the supplies I used to create my card. Ready to place an order? Click on any product below and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store. Please note: All of the new products on my card cannot be listed since the catalog hasn’t gone live.

I always tend to make cards with layers but I went for something different with today’s card! Using the Happy Birthday stamp from Butterfly Basics, I stamped all over my Tempting Turquoise base. I put a piece of copy paper underneath my paper so I could partially stamp the sentiment in some areas.
The Balloon Bouquet Punch makes it so easy to cut out perfect balloons. Mine were cut out of Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper. This pack of paper is on the retirement list and available while supplies last.
I used Whisper White Baker’s Twine for the string on the balloons and added a piece of a Stampin’ Dimensional at the base of the balloon to attach the twine, I added a few more dimensionals on the balloon to then attach it to the card.
The stamp set, Happy Birthday Gorgeous, was used to stamp my sentiment (it will be available on June 1st when the new catalog goes live). Some Metallic Enamel Shapes finished off the card!

If you’re in a hurry and want to dress up a gift card, this is your project. This Gift Card Sleeve can be made using a piece of Designer Series Paper, as I have, or cardstock.
For the insert I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch. My gift card was just a bit bigger than the insert but it fits well inside the sleeve. In my picture, the gift card looks crooked but that was my fault. I only used one glue dot on the back because I was using that card for multiple photos of products so you can very definitely secure it well with several glue dots! I used four lengths of Linen Thread and threaded them through the top of the insert. I wanted it to have some fullness and another option would be to then separate each of the strands for an even fuller look. The sentiment I used will be in a new stamp set available on June 1st called Happy Birthday Gorgeous.
Measurements
Designer Series Paper (sleeve): 5-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ score at 1-1/2″ and 3-3/4″
Edited: Apply Tear and Tape as shown in the photo below. Fold to create the sleeve.
Whisper White (insert): 4-3/4″ x 1-7/8″ (insert one end into the Scalloped Tag Topper punch)
Below you’ll find the supplies I used. The Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper is on the retired list and only available while supplies last. To place an order, click any of the pictures.
Monday, May 22nd, is the last day to order a retiring stamp set and be assured that you’ll receive it. After that date, each stamp set is available while supplies last or May 31st.

I’ve been in a gift card making mood and have several more for you this week! But first, if you follow my blog, you know that for the last several months I’ve been posting Monday – Friday. I wanted to let you know that I’m going to make a small change in my schedule and you can count on my posts Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. I won’t be posting tomorrow but I’ll have one more way to package a gift card on Saturday.
On to today’s project! This is a small card and will definitely fit into one of our Whisper White Medium Envelopes with some extra space. You could also tuck it inside a small gift bag and just forget the envelope!
As you can see from the picture, your gift card slides in to the pocket.
The sentiment sits on a scalloped oval which has Stampin’ Dimensionals along the bottom edge. That way, the top flap can tuck underneath it. Hopefully the picture helps in understanding this.
I used Party Animal Designer Series Paper to decorate the panels of the holder. This paper is currently on the retiring list and on sale. It’s normally $11.00 but you can get it, while supplies last, for $6.60!
Dimensions
Base: 8-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ score on long side at 3-1/4″ and 7-1/4″
(Use tear and tape to adhere the sides together to make a pocket)
Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 3″ and 3-1/4″ x 1-1/4″

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!

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!
