Today’s card is made with the Party Dies Bundle to fabulous die sets combined for infinite possibilities! The Party Alphabet die set is a large alphabet set perfect for scrapbooking and card making and the Party Banner Dies and so versatile for creating Party Banner signage, cards and scrapbook pages! I already have so many things planned!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″ scraps for die cuts
Strawberry Slush CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer

Die cut the H and B from the Party Alphabet dies from the Basic White scraps, cut consecutive Party Banners that will fit on the card front from the two layers.

Take and emboss the card front with the UPCOMING All in a row Embossing Folder – a SNEAK PEAK from the upcoming January – April 2026 Mini Catalog!

This embossing folder will be available to see at my Open House coming up in January and will be available for purchase January 6th.

Plan on attending my Open House to get a catalog and see and play with some of the new products coming in the Spring!

Because this is a sneak peak it is only available in a starter kit for now and will not be in the photo links below!

Using my Glass Mat Studio, I taped down the middle of the H and B from the Party Alphabet dies to the glass grid making sure they were even.

I colored the lower halves of the dies with a Blending Brush and Strawberry Slush ink.

Adhere the Party Banner Dies together.
Adhere the Party Banner dies to the embossed card front in the center and then adhere the H and B on top of the banner dies. I reversed the H so that the colored sections were opposite for more visual appeal!
I added In Color Dots to the card in coordinating Strawberry Slush color and outside of the card is complete.
I grabbed the Happy Birthday sentiment from the With You In Mind stamp set and some Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamped the inside of the card!
I blended left over color from the Blending Brush in an arc over the words for a little extra coordinating color!
This bundle is amazing and if you are a party planner or a scrapbooker worth every dime!

Hope you enjoyed today’s birthday card – now it’s your turn to go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – cloud cover, fresh freesia and highland heather

by | Aug 25, 2025 | card samples, card sketches, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, In Colors

For today’s More Color Mondays Color Challenge I pulled from last week’s Sketch Challenge #110 and did a simple card using the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper which features pretty floral designs in Bubble Bath, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Secret Sea, Shy Shamrock, Strawberry Slush, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger

I picked the Cloud Cover striped B side of one of the choices of Designer Series paper and a complementary floral pattern for the two DSP pieces!

Measurements:
BASE: Cloud Cover CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″ and 2″ x 3 3/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Fresh Freesia CS: scrap for the sentiment die
Highland Heather CS: 2″ x 3 3/4″
DSP: (2) 1 3/4″ x 3 1/2″

PLace the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer in the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Place the folder in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the #1 base platform and the #4 embossing plate. Emboss the layer.
Adhere the Cloud Cover striped DSP piece to the Cloud Cover matte.

Adhere the floral piece to the Highland Heather matte.

Pick a sentiment from The Right Words stamp set and pick a suitably sized Spotlight on Nature circle die.

Stamp the sentiment onto a Fresh Freesia scrap
and die cut with the Spotlight on Nature die using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the #1 base, #2 thin die adaptor plate and 2 cutting plates #3’s.

Using the Highland Heather ink and a blending brush color the edges with the ink.

Adhere the Basic White layer to the card base leaving even borders.

Adhere the Cloud Cover DSP piece vertically to the left side of the White embossed layer leaving an even border on the left-hand side.

I adhered the floral DSP layer perpendicular to the Cloud Cover piece positioning it higher on the card so that I could adhere the sentiment piece below and at their junction of the the pieces forming a triangular shape which is appealing to the eye!
Pop up the sentiment piece onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and place in the junction of the two DSP pieces.
I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to finish off the card.

Adhere the two pieces of cardstock together with the piece that is 1/4″ shorter on the inside with the top and bottom and score lines all lined up!
Cut the 2 DSP layers in half diagonally and then paying attention to the direction of the pattern

I stamped the inside sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink onto the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer make sure it is lower than the criss cross so it is hidden when the card is closed.

I adhered the white inside flower detail to the large flower in strawberry slush and adhered it to the outside diagonal card panel so it lined up where the criss cross intersects.

florals in bloom sketch #102 card

florals in bloom sketch #102 card

by | May 16, 2025 | card sketches, Designer Series Paper, new catalog, stamps ink paper

Sketches are one great way to stretch that creative bone in your body that either needs some motivation or inspiration. When you are feeling like you need a little assist there are so many ways to get help!

Many demonstrators and groups post card sketch challenges or online databases of sketches, Pinterest is another great resource and I will be posting occasional card sketches to give my customers inspiration as well!

This card sketch is a SUPER simple one but is awesome for maximizing your 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper you can make 9 of these cards out of one 12″ x 12″ piece of paper!

And just by changing out the DSP the cards look totally refreshed and new!

Measurements:
BASE: Pretty Peacock 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
DSP: 4″ square piece cut in half to make
(2) 2″ x 4″ pieces
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 1/4″ x 4 1/4″

I usually place a Basic White layer on the inside of the cards I make that use darker colored cardstock to make it easier to write on the inside of the card.
Cut the DSP in half paying attention to the DSP pattern and keeping the design together so the pattern flows once you adhere the DSP to the card front.

Take the top patterned piece and adhere it to the top of the card front leaving an 1/8″ border on the sides and top of the card stock.

Adhere the bottom DSP piece to the bottom of the card front leaving an 1/8″ border on the bottom and sides of the card front.
I stamped the horizontal sentiment stamp from the Blooming Phrases Online Exclusive stamp set that debuted this month in Pretty Peacock ink. I stamped the leaves at the end of the word line in Granny Apple Green ink on the Basic White strip.
Pop up the strip and adhere to the center of the card spacing it evenly in between the top and bottom DSP panels.
I added some two-toned sparkle gems to the card to finish this easy and lovely card!
This is another version with another DSP design from the Florals in Bloom collection.
Just changing the paper can make an entirely different card look!
Try this simple design with your stash of papers and see what you can design – one stamp at a time!
