Today we're creating a Thinking of You for Adults Card Using Storybook Garden Stamps & Dies.  The "Storybook" link implies a childlike orientation & the Storybook Garden Bundle is anything but childish.  

The stamp set

& die set

today's card..

The base is Very Vanilla topped with Vanilla put through the Eyelet embossing folder.

The back layer is from the Timeless Plaid Designer paper--this is a truly awesome set of papers.

The watering can & lettuce are stamped & die cut in colored cardstock. While the pots are stamped on the Vanilla rectangle allowing shading with our Blends.

The greeting is die cut from Gold Foil using the Thoughtful Moments hybrid embossing folder--this embosses & cuts out the image in a single pass.

Lastly we add a touch of class using the Textured dot-- just a perfect for our gardening card.

Stop by next week and see what new stamp set we'll be creating with then!

Here's today's card....

& a bit closer look....

Our base card is Bubble Bath cardstock with an over layer of the same color and put through the Eyelet embossing folder.

A bit of contrast is added with a vertical stripe in black and white designer paper (Lovely Garden DSP).

We stamped the hydrangea in Memento ink on white cardstock and die cut with the corresponding die. Color was added with the Bubble Bath and Summer Spash Blends...this image was simply made for having fun with the Blends.

The petitte flower centers are chucked full of glimmering rhinestones to add tons and tons of sparkle--just let yourself go when sprinkling these on!

The greeting is one of the useful verses in this set and stamped on white cardstock and slipped in slightly behind the blossom.

A touch of glamour is added with the silver/white bow.

Today we're creating with Collage Stamping using Textured Notes Bundle.  This new bundle is an Online Exclusive that includes a nested set of decorated rectangles that are lovely all in themselves. This set also coordinates beautifully with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper which we will be using in today's creation.

Here's the stamp set...

This is the nested dies.

Here's today's creation...

& a bit closer look...

We first nestled a piece of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper on Pecan Pie card base--the varied tones of the Pecan color in that paper is stunning on the Pecan Pie background.

The collage consists of the large & small leaf dies along iwth the "basket bottom" design peeking out from the background. Because these inks are dye inks  the darker ink will always show through. So it does not matter which ink is stamped first because the darker will always appear to be on top. So even though we stamped the background last--it appears to be behind the leaves. The larger leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow & the smaller ones in Old Olive---thus the larger leaves appear to be in front of the smaller ones...what a fun technique!

The focal point was stamped on Very Vanilla backed with a thin edge of gold foil topping the Pecan back layer.

We stamped 'thank you' in black ink on Old Olive which ties it all together.

For a bit of elegance we added the pecan Neutal Matte dots.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with  Textured Floral Dies as the Focal Point. This set of dies coordinates with the stamp set by the same name, however, thes three dies are an awesome set of tools by themselves.

Here's the dies

Yhe three we're working with ...

Here's our card for today...

 A bit closer look...

We began with the Boho Blue card base & a layer embossed with the Birch embossing folder--a bit rustic & generic. Over this we used a small layer of Boho Blue in the 2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper...we chose the design that is primarily white with images in Boho so that the paper would be more striking.

We then layered our 3 greenery die cuts in the lower left. Notice we used 2 dies with Shaded Spruce cardstock & then added a bit of charm with the 3rd one die cut from Shy Shamrock glimmer paper (2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper)...now they all coordinate but there is some lovely contrast to liven it up a bit.

The white circle draws our attention & contains our greeting stamped in Boho Blue. The greeting  script is beautiful with it's rounded letters that blend well with our circle.

Tha last embellishment are the 3 large blue dots following the arc of the circle along with the 3 small blue dots scattered among the greenery adding a touch of elegance and sparkle.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with New Stampin'Up! Online Exclusive Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set. When you're looking for a really cute set that's quick and easy to use--Resourceful Rusty is your stamp set.

Here's what the set looks like....

This is  today's creation....

This is a closer look....

We decided that our Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper is just the perfect background for today's project. Beginning with a cardbase of Crumb Cake we added a narrow border of Very Vanilla to set off the Boho/Crumb plaid for our base.

Wanting to stamp on Very Vanilla we added another narrow border of black to make the focal point pop.  The coordinating second peice of designer paper gives us a bit of contrast to the background while still remaining in that color scheme.  

Coloring was quick and easy with the Blends using Real Red, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green, The bling is from the Neutrals  Matte Dots (another Online Exclusive product) that is a perfect match for the designer paper.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with Arched Wishes a New Online Exclusive! Isn't it fun to get a whole new set of products every other month! And...best part is that this one coordinates with the Everyday Arch dies already online.

Here's the stamp set....

& this is the Everyday Arches a coordinating set of dies that are already available online.

Here's todays creation using both...

& a bit closer look...

We selected the Full of Life Desinger Series Paper for our background since it was very lively and filled with tons of bright and cheerful color. This was layered onto a thin border of Coastal Cabana and then onto the card base of Daffodil Delight. 

Since the greeting is arch-shaped...it was an easy step to position it on the white die cut arch just where we want it to fit...then lay the cupcake on the white arch beneath it. Now lay the clear block on top of the stamps...this way you can stamp multiples at the same time without having to position each time!

We added a few "sparkles" with the new Spoked Sequins in the center to really create a party atmosphere.

Note: If you haven't joined the monthly Card Club with NO obligations keep watching your emails for the next club in your email 3-15-24!

Today we're Creating with Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper. This set of cute papers is a Sale-a-bration freebie with a $60 purchase through the end of February-- so only 3 more days!!!

Here's the set of papers...

Here's our card for today

& a bit closer

This set of papers is very whimsical and lots of fun colors to play with.  For this card I selected the Bubble Bath background highlighted with Melon Mambo tones and a touch of Gray Granite.

This design is based on having something of a pictorial background.  We cut 6 squares of 1 1/2 X 1 1/2--two across and 3 down keeping them in order so the design remains intact.  The pieces are mounted on a black rectangle which really maked the design pop. Then another layer of Gray Granite mellows out the overall design.

We used the Feel Better Soon detail die with Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath for the underlay--this makes the Melon pop out but doesn't detract from the pictorial design.

Of course, a bit of bling rounds it all out with 3 small Melon dots from the Sunny Day collection.

Note: If you haven't joined the monthly Card Club with NO obligations keep watching your emails for the next club in your email 3-15-24!

Today we are Creating with Sale-a-bration Freebie Bloom IMpressions Designer Series Paper. This is one of my favorite free items during Sale-a-bration when spending $60 in product. 

Here is a sampling of this beautiful set...

You can see all the wonderful spring colors in the "blooms" side and those stunning coordinating colors in the "watercolor wash" side....what a delight in creating cards with these papers.

Here's today's creation using this paper:

This card fairly glows with the gorgeous Daffodil Delight blooms in the background.  We've nestled the Countryside Corners die cut of the designer paper on the Daffodil Delight top layer embossed with the Starstruck embossing folder. This is also one of the freebies you can obtain with a $60 order during SAB.  

As our focal point we're using a tree stamp (trunk/leaves) die cut using the Twisted Tree bundle in the Spring mini catalog.  

We've stamped the trunk in Early Espresso & the leaves in Garden Green--then die cut for that perfect image.

The greeting is from one of our very useful sets, Simply Said Mix & Match stamp set.

We only have a couple of weeks to nab these wonderful SAB free items! Grab yours while they are still available.

Note: Due to some unforeseen issues I'll be posting on Wednesdays only for awhile. When all gets back to normal I'm hoping to go back to Tuesdays & Thursdays. Thanks for sticking with me for a bit.

Today we're Creating with Sale-a-bration Freebie Documenting the Day Stamp Set. This is a free set you can earn with a $60 product order during January and February this year....less that one month left of earning free stuff!

Here's the stamp set...

Here's today's card with this set...

& a closer look


First we selected the designer paper which is also a free item during Sale-a-bration--it's the Toadstool Garden set...lively and fun!  This was layered onto Pretty in Pink and then onto our base of Melon Mambo.  

If you often have a bit of trouble combining colors--you can look at your designer paper and choose colors that are combined there and usually arrive at a very nice combo.

We stamped the huge 'DAY' in Granny Apple Green on a white label die cut with the Nested Essentials die.

Then the 'Happy' is die cut from the gold foil using the Wanted to Say dies.  Of course, it wouldn't be complete without some super sparkle which is supplied with the large gold Drusy Embellishments.

This stamp set is an awesome addition to your collection if you do memory keeping--this large DAY with or without some of the accompanying verses is fantastic in size for your designs.

Note: Due to some unforeseen issues I'll be posting on Wednesdays only for awhile. When all gets back to normal I'm hoping to go back to Tuesdays & Thursdays. Thanks for sticking with me for a bit.
