I made this card last week with the intention of showing one way to use the glitter tape that was available during Sale-a-bration but it sold out before I could write my post. Another product that could be substituted is our Glimmer Paper. A small strip on both sides of the card would give it just the perfect amount of sparkle!
The real star of the show though is the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper! It’s so pretty that you really don’t need much else to make this card. After adding the sparkle tape, I cut a 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of DSP and adhered it to a piece of Watermelon Wonder that measured 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. My sentiment is stamped with Memento Ink using one of the Circle of Spring stamps. I used the 1-3/8″ Circle punch and adhered it to a Mint Macaron 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle. My paper piercer was used to poke holes around each scallop. (Edited: Earlier I stated the incorrect size Scallop Circle punch – it has been corrected).
After I photographed the card I thought it could use a little bling and that version can be seen below. What do you think? Which version do you prefer?

Today I’ll share the last of the goodies inside my stationary boxes. The boxes wouldn’t have been complete without something to write in and with! The coordinating notepads are 3″ x 5″ and I purchased them on Amazon. Just as I did with the gum holders, I used the same paper that coordinated with the paper that was used to slip inside the sleeve of the full size stamp case.
I used the stamp set that comes with the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit (the stamp set cannot be purchased separately). I used Pentel RSVP pens and unscrewed the black part which can be seen at the bottom of the picture, rolled up the paper and inserted it inside the barrel. In a previous post I did a short video on how to do this, so click here if you’d like to see it.

Last week I shared a Stationary Kit and promised that I would reveal the other items inside!
Each box also had a gum holder using the same paper that coordinated with the paper I used on the box. Using my Big Shot and the Little Letters Thinlits, I was able to easily cut out a letter for the front of each box. I used the 2 Way Glue Pen to attach each of the letters.
The pack of gum fits very snugly inside.
If you’d like the directions for the gum holder, you can visit a previous post of mine here.
I put a few more goodies inside each box and I’ll share them later this week! Have a fantastic day!

Recently I sent some gifts out to five special ladies and I thought I’d share them with you. I began with our storage cases and slipped some of our gorgeous Designer Series Paper (DSP) inside. I used Timeless Elegance DSP from the big catalog and Birthday Bouquet from the Occasions catalog. I wrapped each one up with coordinating ribbon.
One goodie inside was a package of candy dots. I placed them inside a Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag. I closed the bag shut with a Tea Lace Doily and a bow paper clip (from the Occasions catalog). The sentiment comes from the stamp set Birthday Blooms which can also be found in the Occasions catalog. You’ll find a list of my supplies at the end of the post.
Over the next few days I’ll share the rest of what I put inside!

Did you know that five Stampin’ Up! colors are going away very soon? Each year, with the launch of a new catalog, five new In Colors are introduced and five retire. There always seems to be at least one color that I absolutely LOVE. This year is no different and saying goodbye to Blackberry Bliss will be difficult! The five colors retiring this year are: Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist.
The retirement list will be out soon and those items will be while supplies last. BUT, historically, the In Colors sell out immediately. If you have any favorites, I recommend purchasing them now and this includes the reinkers for stamp pads that you own!
I posted this card last year using Blackberry Bliss (sadly the paper has retired). If you’d like to see the original post, click here.
Below you’ll find all the information on the retiring colors. I’ll list the Weekly Deals at the end of the post!

Today I have some cards that fit into the quick and easy category. I was in need of some thank you cards and was able to quickly make several of these. Since I plan to send them, I decided not to bling them up. I was just dying to place a small pearl in the center of each flower but controlled myself and colored each one in with my Daffodil Delight marker. These two cards are very similar. I used the same colors – Pacific Point, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight but varied how I used them.
Are you wondering how I was able to line up the flowers? Easy! I used one of our stencils in the Dots & Stripes pack. It made achieving evenly spaced flowers so simple. I used washi tape to keep my Whisper White piece in place as well as the stencil itself. If you do this, be sure to rinse the stencil under water when you are finished so you can avoided transferring ink where you don’t want it.
With the card below, I decided to be daring (I’m so adventurous) and not use the mask. Some are too close to each other, which bugs me, but I am sure others wouldn’t even notice. I definitely like all of the color though!
The stamps I used come from two different sets. The sentiment is from Rose Wonder and the flower came from Bloomin’ Love. Sometimes the teeny tiny stamps get neglected and unused. Check out the stamp sets you currently own to see what you can create!

Yesterday I shared a card using the Sale-a-bration stamp set What I Love. I used one of the sentiments but there’s so much more to love about this set of stamps. Check out the video below from Stampin’ Up! for more ideas.
