Playing in the Rain Happy Birthday set
Playing in the Rain Happy Birthday Guys how did I not share this set with you sooner!! The Playing in the Rain Happy Birthday Set uses the Playing in the Rain suite and the Biggest Wishes Stamp set. This card and gift bag tag are just what you would need to give the perfect gift. Cough Cough, My birthday is next week. Just Saying!! Isn’t this card a happy one?? Using two different DSP from that suite. I think though my favorite part is the little daisies that have been glued to the ‘Daisy’ DSP and sentiment.

Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary
Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary Hummm, it was so hard to pick which of this Specialty paper to pick. There are three different colors in the pack, Soft Succulent, Night of Navy and Blushing Bride. Today’s Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary uses all three. Which would you pick… Celebrating You or Biggest Wish? So the Night of Navy version uses the Celebrating You and the Happy Anniversary stamp. This set is by far the bests for most occasions. Birthday, Easter, Wedding and more. Now on to the Biggest Wish which has Thanks, Hello and Birthday. Here is what I love… The two different fonts. It just makes it fun. Looking…

All Squared Away Retiring Soon Bundle idea.
All Squared Away Retiring Join me today, looking at the All Squared Away Retiring soon bundle. I paired this one with an embossing folder that is also perfect for the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. Meadows Moments is a double folder set and also retiring (and 50% off too!!). Which is a win in my book. It really is so worth celebrating all of these layers. To get this look you will want to cut out the full square twice in two different colors. In this case it is Cajun Craze and Soft Succulent. I chose the Cajun Craze for the Clay pots that I have been planting in already.…

Rainbows and Turtles birthday card for the library.
Rainbows and Turtles birthday card Back in January we made the Rainbows and Turtles birthday card at both libraries. This one could very easily have been a baby card too. Okay, the rainbows that are from the FREE Sale-a-Bration DSP called ‘Sunshine & Rainbows’. Adding in the cutest punch bundle Turtle Friends. It really is this cute! I think that the polka dot shell might push it over the top for me. However, it might be the cloud look that was used from the Basic Borders dies. I think I know a couple kiddos that would laugh if they got this for a birthday card. How about you?? The ‘Shell-ebrate’…

Sale-a-Bration Bird fun fold, Birthday card
Sale-a-Bration Bird fun fold I am loving this Sale-a-Bration Bird fun fold. This card idea was from the Culver Library Class. Those lovely ladies LOVE fun folds. I especially like doing easy fun folds! This one uses NOTHING extra. But ohh, doesn’t it look fancy!! This Stamp set Friendly Hello is FREE with a $100 purchase (there is DSP too!). I would say this could be a simple stamping card, but there are just too many die cuts on it. Starting off with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. That is where the scalloped rectangles come from. That little leave die is from the Forever Flourishing dies. Think greenery on that…

Library Pansy’s Happy Birthday card for January.
Library Pansy’s Happy Birthday This month’s Library Pansy’s Happy Birthday card was a hit! I was not surprised. I typically try and do BRIGHT and cheery cards. I know I have talked about the hooohuumms before, but they are a REAL thing! Anyway, the Pansy Petal Suite has all you need to beat them. Happy flowers, bright colors and fun bee trinkets. Even that Bumblebee Gingham ribbon works. The sentiments also from the suite stamp set called Pansy Patch. This suite focuses on the 2021-2023 In-colors. Ohhh this reminds me, you may want to fill in your cardstock packs, ink refills or embellishments for the 2020-2022 In-colors. You know that…

And if you forgot… It is always better to get what you need sooner rather then later!! Although the Jan – June Mini and what Suites it has goes until June (haha).

There is a story about a butterfly from when Joe and I first started dating. If you do not know about that story, you will have to ask me. Anyway, I used the Brilliant Wings dies and Enjoy the Moment for the sentiments. I thought that the font was PERFECT. Grunged up all the edges, the ripped and even the butterfly too. The DSP is from the host pack, Pattern Party. I love this pack. Lots of Black and White patterns. I used the…

I did the same on all four corners and really it was like BOOM!! Using the Highland Heather to add the flowers. This bundle is a stamp and punch, Elegantly Said Bundle. The add of the Metallic cord and the Metallic Pearls complete the elegant look. I was wondering if I should have stamped a few flowers on the Highland Heather layer?? What do you think??

Saying Goodbye Part 2, Plaid and Heartfelt
Saying Goodbye Part 2 Here again Saying Goodbye part 2. Our first one has two ideas. This “thank you” card idea can be changed to any and yes ANY color combo. Plus with one run through the Stampin’ cut & Emboss you get two cards!! I love the texture that plaid creates. I need to share however that the stamp set is STAYING. It is just the die set Plaid Builder and Bundle price that is leaving. Also retiring on this card is the Braided Linen trim (already gone) and Small Bloom Punch. See, I used it a TON. I do mean a TON!! You will need the full size…

Familiar Layout Flowering Cactus Product Medley
Familiar Layout Flowering Cactus I am still having fun with this Product Medley. Familiar Layout Flowering Cactus is just one of many more. This one is a brighter card, especially from last weeks, here. The Calypso Coral helps a bunch. Why do I love this layout?? Well because it showcases two DSP’s at once. You get enough of the patterns too. Just too much fun!! To share a few more things about this medley… The DSP, twine, dies and stamp set all go together. Ohh dang I almost forgot about the felt flowers. However, I love the twine. No surprise I am sure. I had fun doubling up the two…

Flowering Cactus with Curvy Can you believe this Flowering Cactus with the Curvy dies card?? I really wanted to try and use up some of these left over pieces. Even the sentiment is from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley. However the pieces that it is sitting on are 1 1/2 inch Circle Punch and the Tasteful Labels dies for the layering piece. Do you want to hear my favorite part?? It is the Curvy dies. This fun little add really worked out. And to thing that the top here was an extra piece. Really, it was the bottom piece that I had a plan for. Hummm, did I share that…

In Good Taste Birthday card with wood elements.
In Good Taste Birthday Needing a masculine card, In Good Taste Birthday card is a place to start. The In Good Taste Suite has DSP, Stamp set, Dies, Embossing Folder and these awesome wood elements. However for this card we only use the DSP (designer series paper) and the wood elements. Can not see the Wood elements?? Well I added a touch of ink. This photo shows them off a little bit better. How did I do that?? Well I just placed them on the ink pad. You may want to lightly tap on them for full coverage. They will need to be allowed to dry. It really does not…

Oval Occasions for Swap cards.
Oval Occasions for Swap Here is the first of two cards using Oval Occasions for Swap that I did last week. This very Springy stamp set and coordinating punch is from the January – June Mini. It is for a Birthday card, but this could very easily be an Easter or with Love card too. I choose to use Crumb Cake as my neutral (shocking) adding in Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss. OHHH yes that is a sprig of new Blackberry Bliss ribbon. I wanted to share a BIG tip. However, this first, there are 13 stamps in this stamp set. The face of this card has seven of them.…

We had so much fun in the live making these. Check it…

First November Girl’s Night card with greenery.
First November Girl’s Night The First November Girl’s Night card has two different versions. I was worried about not having enough of the Whisper White Crinkle Ribbon. I like the Linen Thread alternative too. Which is your favorite?? Need a little bit of a closer look?? The only difference is the ribbon. Humm, I like them both. Our colors for this Pear Pizzazz, Shaded Spruce and Mint Macaron. Question?? Could this card be for something else?? I would say yes. Change the inside sentiment. The front could really have any inside. Even the leaves could be a thinking of you, hello or even miss you for the inside. Does this…

As promised, step three, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Korine… Wanting to be sure not to go with the red, white and blue theme for this card. When you have a birthday around a holiday, I really try to make the card extra special. Now, some will say, what is the big deal. However, mom always told stories about her holiday birthday’s. She was getting gifts in Christmas wrappings, etc. So that is why I try to be aware of how that must feel. First, let us not miss that cute little slip, topped with ribbon. What would you use it for? I use mine to mark my calendar or even my book page. I know that…
