Today’s card uses the beautiful Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Fruit Basket. It was inspired by a card sketch from my team leader, Dawn Griffith. She gives us a sketch and measurements and then we can create a card exactly like the card sketch or change it up a bit. Sometimes the sketches are really difficult for me but other times, like with this sketch, I can quickly create a card I love.
I did change the measurements up just a bit and you can find them below.
Berry Burst
11″ x 4-1/4″ Score at 5-1/2″
1″ x 4-1/2″
(4) 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
scrap for scalloped oval
Basic Black: 4″ x 5-1/4″ scrap for scalloped oval
Whisper White: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ scrap for sentiment
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper: 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ (4) 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″
After gluing Designer Series Paper to each square, add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
Attach the Berry Burst scallop to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Banner Triple punch to easily create the two banners.
Use the Layering Ovals Framelits to create a Berry Burst and Basic Black scalloped oval and the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the sentiment.
Add several Glitter Enamel Shapes for some extra sparkle!
Because of the added dimension to the card, if you decide to send it, it will cost more in postage but I think it makes a big difference in the overall look of the card.

Today’s card is quick & easy and the star is the Tutti Frutti 6″ x 6″Designer Series Paper. Each package of paper comes with 48 sheets with 4 each of 12 double sided designs. Every time I look at this paper I get more excited for summertime fruit!
I used the stamp set Fruit Basketfor the sentiment and cut it out with the Classic Label Punch. After punching it out, I cut one end off, added our Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it at the edge of the Tutti Frutti paper. A Brights Enamel Shape in red, finished off the card.
Bermuda Bay: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″
Whisper White: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ scrap for sentiment
Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
Here’s another version of the card using the opposite side of the watermelon paper. This time, after punching out the sentiment, I didn’t cut an end off and instead put an enamel shape on both ends.

Today’s card is a Joy Fold card and I have a video too! This card is fun because it opens differently than a regular card.
The ribbon helps the card stay closed but it also adds a bit of sparkle! I used Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the sentiments are from the stamp set Lovely Inside and Out. I used my Stamparatus to line up the word “friend” on my paper. The Stamparatus is the new Stampin’ Up! positioning tool, due out in June, unless you were one of the lucky ones and preordered it last year. I love mine!

To create today’s card I performed surgery once again! Surgery on my rubber stamp that is and let me tell you, it can be pretty scary but it feels great conquering a fear, even if it’s just with a rubber stamp! I cut apart one of my stamps and honestly, the words were all so close together that I didn’t think I was going to be able to trim it and be happy with it, but I decided to just go for it. I’m so happy I did!
I have quite a few stamps that I really like but they say more than I really want. I love a good set with lots of different fonts saying thank you but I usually just want the words, thank you. I used a sentiment from All Things Thanks that said, thank you for welcoming our newest arrival. I have never used it as is, but it’s certainly a sentiment that I like having. Now that it’s been separated, I just added more value to the set! (more…)
Today’s card uses a Sale-a-bration gift that can be yours with a $100 order. The Celebrate You Thinlit Dies include three words: amazing, you and celebrate. Very rarely do items from the Sale-a-bration catalog carry over into a catalog but these dies will be in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog and I couldn’t be happier. Get them free only until this Saturday!! After that they won’t be available again until June and they won’t be free! Click to see all of the available free gifts.
I used the Thinlits to make my card and when you open it up, there’s a pocket where a gift card can slide right on in. Check out the video below and see how quick and easy it is to create!
I used Tutti Frutti 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to decorate my Lemon Lime Twist cardstock base. This paper is so cheerful and I though the apples on the front would be perfect to use for a special teacher.
The supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below. Click on any of the images to place an order. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

The Ultimate Bundle is the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit and not telling you about it would just be wrong. I have several credit cards that when I use them, I get a discount. I’m an Amazon Prime member and I get free shipping all year long after paying an up-front fee. The Stampin’ Up! Ultimate Bundle is the Starter Kit for $99 and you get a discount every time you place an order. And during Sale-a-bration it’s even sweeter.
Before I tell you what you’ll receive with the Starter Kit, I want you to know that you don’t have to have parties to get your discount (unless you want to), you can just get it for discounts on what you buy.

When you order during Sale-a-bration you’ll also receive TWO EXTRA STAMP SETS – any stamp set, any price (excludes bundles and Sale-a-bration sets). That’s a $101 value!
I bought the Starter Kit almost nine years ago. After my first purchase of Stampin’ Up! products, I was hooked and joined just to get the discount! I had absolutely NO interest in having parties trying to sell the product, I just wanted to get a discount on what I wanted. That changed after about six months when I wanted to share what I was making with my friends.
The Starter Kit has absolutely no obligation. Honest! If you decide to drop, there’s no penalty and no one will hassle you. It really is a sweet deal! If you have questions, please contact me and I’d be happy to talk to you about the starter kit.

Easter is almost here and today I have a little box that can you can make very quickly. Add some candy and you have a thinking of you treat for someone! Check out the video down towards the end of the post!
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock and Springtime Foils Designer Series paper to create the box. The gorgeous Designer Series Paper is FREE with a $50 purchase but only until Saturday, March 31, 2018! There are over thirty different Sale-a-Bration productsto choose from with either a $50 or $100 order!
For the bottom of the box, cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 5 1/4″ x 7. Score at 1″ along all four sides. Holding your paper vertically, cut on the score lines up to the horizontal score line. Turn your paper over and add Tear and Tape to the tabs. Bring up the sides to create the box.
Cut a piece of Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper that measures 5 1/8″ x 10″. Score along the long side at 2″, 3″, 6 1/4″ and 7 1/4″. Fold on all the score lines. Add Tear and Tape to one end and then wrap the paper around the box. Update: Score on the wrong side of the Springtime Foils paper as this will help with any “cracking” of the paper that might occur.
Stamp the bunny from We Must Celebrate onto Thick Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color the bunny (I used Stampin’ Blends which are currently on backorder until approximately May 2018) and cut it out using the Layering Ovals Framelits (this set includes 15 different ovals that can be layered together). Use these framelits to also cut out ovals using Berry Burst and Silver Foil. Layer all of the pieces together and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Berry Burst oval.
Wrap Berry Burst 3/8″ Metallic-Edge ribbon around the box. The box can still be opened placing it as I did, but you could also wrap it up like a present. Attach the bunny to the front of the box. Add Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie to the inside of the box along with your favorite treat!
If you’d like a free PDF tutorial of today’s project, it will be in my newsletter that goes out tomorrow!Sign up for my newslettertoday so you don’t miss out!
All of the supplies I used are listed below but the this version of the box uses 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbonand the bunny was colored with Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blends. (The Blends are currently unavailable but will hopefully be back at the end of May).
You can purchase any of the supplies I used to create today’s project by clicking the images below. With every $50 purchase you’ll not only earn a Sale-a-Bration gift (until March 31, 2018) but aBradley Point too!
Today’s card features the gorgeous Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog. One side of each sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper has silver accents, which is so pretty in person, and the other side has colorful printed images.
I used the stamp set Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts for the sentiment using a Marina Mist stamp pad. I tend to use Memento Black Ink for my sentiments but thought the Marina Mist added a bit of softness to the card. The sentiment was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits which gives the look of stitching around the oval. It sits on top of a Calypso Coral scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits. These two sets coordinate beautifully together! For an extra pop of color, I finished the card by adding three Subtles Enamel Shapes. These shapes are sold by color family and Marina Mist is part of the Subtles collection.
Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ scrap for sentiment
Calypso Coral Cardstock: 3-1/2″ x 4″ scrap for scalloped oval
Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″
If you make today’s card using a different Designer Series Paper or the same paper I used, I’d love to see your creation! An email from you sharing your card would make my day!
Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back on Monday with another project and a video!
Today’s card uses the stamp set Color Me Happy, which was released when the Stampin’ Blends became available. It can’t be found in a current catalog but it is available for purchase. It also happens to coordinate with the Color Me Happy Project Kit, a FREE Sale-a-bration gift you can choose with a qualifying order of $50.00. Please note: the order number 150046 must be used when ordering the kit as a Sale-a-bration gift.
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card and sentiment. I also used: Petal Garden Designer Series Paper, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Sweet Sugarplum cardstock. The sentiment was colored with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, which unfortunately are in a backorder situation although you can still order them until Friday, March 23rd, at noon, Mountain Time (and receive Sale-a-bration gifts for every $50 you spend). If you’d like more information about the Stampin’ Blends backorder situation, please click here.
The Layering Ovals Framelits were used to cut out the sentiment and the Old Olive scalloped oval. This set includes fifteen dies in varying sizes which makes it so versatile!
All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below. To place an order, click any of the images and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Stampin’ Blends have been extremely popular since they were first introduced and I couldn’t be happier about that. I love mine!
Week ago many Stampin’ Blends went on backorder. Due to an unexpected increase in demand and complications with their supplier, Stampin’ Up! has made the difficult decision to make the Blends unorderable beginning Friday, March 23 at noon (Mountain Time). Currently some Blends are available right now but many are on backorder which means that if you order them today, you’ll receive them once they arrive in the warehouse. At this time its estimated that more stock will arrive late May. But beginning on Friday, they won’t be available to order at all and you’ll need to wait until approximately the end of May to place an order for them.
You have two choices:
Place your order before Friday at noon, Mountain Time. You will receive your Blends just as soon as they arrive in the warehouse. Plus, you’ll receive Sale-a-bration rewardsfor every $50!
Wait until they arrive in the warehouse to place your order. As soon as they’re available, I will immediately announce their arrival!
I’m so sorry for this inconvenience. I love the Blends and am disappointed that they are on backorder but I’m so happy that many of you are just as excited about them as I am.
