Today’s card was made using Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. This paper is one of thirteen packages on sale this month. This is a huge pack of paper with a whopping 48 sheets! It’s normally $30.00 but on sale in June for $25.50! I also used the Seasonal Branches stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I added a piece of Basic White to the card front and to the inside of the card. I cut another piece of Petal Pink cardstock and layered it with a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Seasonal Branches stamp set. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger Petal Pink square and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. Super easy to create!

Today I have a card to share with you using Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper, the Textured Floral stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies.


I started with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist (one of our returning colors) for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I scored it in two places to make a fun fold! I added two pieces of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom flap. I cut another small strip of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock that I then adhered to the inside of the card.


I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink (another returning favorite color) onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Textured Floral and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger stitched circle out of Lemon Lime Twist and attached the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the sentiment piece and adhered it to the upper flap! This is such a quick and easy card to make!

I’m slowly working my way towards posting on a regular basis again. My goal is to post several days each week so while I don’t normally post on a weekend, I’m trying this new schedule out. I’m still at my mom’s as my sister and I are planning a Celebration of Life for our mom while also cleaning out her big house that she lived in for almost 53 years. It’s a lot of memories to go through and make decisions on! Making cards has been a nice creative outlet and having new products to play with makes it even better.
Today’s card was made with the Seasonal Branches Bundle which includes the Seasonal Branches stamp set and Seasonal Branches Dies. I also used Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Stylish Shapes Dies.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the middle of the card.
I stamped the bird in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Seasonal Branches stamp set and then colored it with Boho Blue and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using the Seasonal Branches Dies. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock and the branches in Early Espresso ink and also cut them out with the Seasonal Branches Dies.


I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock and glued it to a square I cut out using Boho Blue cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. I glued the branch, leaves and bird to the Basic White square.
I stamped the sentiment in Boho Blue ink to Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Seasonal Branches. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Lemon Lolly cardstock and adhered the two pieces together. I added adhesive to the upper left corner of the Lemon Lolly circle and adhered it to the lower right corner of the Boho Blue/Basic White square.
To complete the card, I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the bottom of the Basic White square.

Thank you so much for all the words of comfort and condolences after the passing of my mom. I read every single email and blog comment and each one was very much appreciated. Words of comfort do make a difference and I thank you. We laid my mom to rest this past Monday and she is now reunited with my dad who passed away 14 years ago.
As you know, we launched a new Annual Catalog on May 2nd with lots of new products. I was able to sit down a few days ago and make a card using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and some of our new pretty colors, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Copper Clay and Berry Burst.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. I embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock (I love this shade of pink) using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I stamped the cupcake onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Copper Clay. I cut the cupcake out using Paper Snips. If you don’t want to fussy cut the cupcake, you can stamp it directly on the larger Basic White square mentioned below. I had a different idea when making the card that I didn’t do and that’s why I cut it out.
I then cut a strip of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper along with two squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut another larger square out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the strip towards the bottom of the embossed cardstock and then adhered this layer to the card base.


I adhered the cupcake to the Basic White square. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the cupcake square only. I adhered the Designer Series Paper squares to the card first, at an angle, and then added the cupcake square.


I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper strip. To complete my card, I added five Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.

Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
The Circle Sayings Bundle (#161355) includes the Circle Sayings stamp set and 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. You save 10% when you purchase a bundle!
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 11″ x 4 1/4″
- Bubble Bath cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (cupcake): approx. 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″
- Basic White cardstock (square): approx. 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 2 3/4″ x 1 1/4″
- Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (squares): (2) approx. 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″
- Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (strip): 5 1/4″ x 1/2″

I do have three cards for you today, but first a recap from yesterday. The Stampin’ Up! colors below are retiring and my guess is that anything in these colors will sell out fast!
Here are the returning In Colors. I know that some of you have been purchasing from Stampin’ Up! for a while and will recognize these colors!
I haven’t had a chance yet to go through the Annual Catalog to see everything that’s retiring but I do know two of my favorites, staples in my craft room are retiring: Layering Circles Dies and Stitched Rectangles Dies (big sigh). FYI: The program I use to show these products always calls the Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies).
On to today’s cards. These are a continuation from yesterday’s post – same layout, same products, different Designer Series Paper (if you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it here).
This first card was made using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper, (retiring), Brushed Brass Butterflies and Gorgeous Grape ink. Flowers & More Designer Series Paper is a host only product and you can choose it with Stampin’ Rewards when your order is $150 or more. With all the cards, I also used Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Cup of Tea Stamp Set (retiring), Painted Labels Dies (retiring), and Stylish Shapes Dies.



This next card was made with Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (retiring), Petal Pink cardstock and Mint Macaron ink (retiring), I also used Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels, which are also retiring.



This last card was made with Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (retiring), Night of Navy cardstock, Night of Navy ink and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.



Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
You can find the measurements I used in yesterday’s post HERE (scroll down and the measurements will be below the Supply List).
Retiring Products Sale
Beginning on April 4th at 12:00 am (Mountain Time), select Stampin’ Up! retiring products will be up to 60% off. Unfortunately, by that time some products will have already sold out so if you love something, I’d suggest getting it now.

Request an Annual Catalog

I’ve had a few forms filled out by people who are not current customers of mine. Unfortunately, I will not be able to honor those requests. Complimentary copies of the catalog are a perk for those that order from me. Thanks for your understanding!
