Have you ever looked in a Stampin’ Up catalog and thought “I need to make this”? Well, this card right here fell into that category for me. I think this stamp set might be one that many people missed because it is a Hostess reward and on page 79 of the September – December 2023 Stampin’ Up Mini Catalog. This stamp set cannot be purchased, but it can be earned if an individual hosts a Stampin’ Up party or has a qualifying order. If you would like to get this beautiful stamp set, I have great news… it is still available until the end of December or while supplies last. If you would like more information on how to earn this stamp set, please email me: churiejohnson@yahoo.com.

When I saw the Above It All bundle in the September – December 2023 Stampin’ Up Mini Catalog, it had winter fun and adventure written all over it. I have to admit I have never been on a ski lift before, but one day I am planning on doing so… it is on my bucket list. This fun fold card was so much fun to create.

List of items used to create this project is below:

This cute holiday festive fun fold card features the Stampin’ Up Shop The Town stamp set. The stamp set coordinates with the Let’s Go Shopping dies in the May 2023 – April 2024 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog. If you enjoy coloring, you will have lots of fun with this holiday stamp set.

The Sending Cheer Bundle is great for making Christmas tags, but I decided to be adventurous and create this cute holiday ornament using the gingerbread man image.

One of my favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the Stampin’ Up 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog is the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP). All of the different hues of blue and patterns included in the paper pack is just beautiful. Today I paired this pretty DSP with the Kindest Expressions stamp set and created three 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ cards with matching envelopes.

For this first card, I created the Boho Blue frame using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and Countryside Corners Dies which are both a part of the Stampin Up Countryside Inn Suite Collection. I also used the Bough punch to create the little cute Night of Navy, Misty Midnight, and Vellum Cardstock sprigs that I attached to the frame.

For this second card, I wanted to show off the different patterns of the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP and how you can use the Countryside Corners Dies with the Kindest Expressions stamp set.

For this last card, I wanted to use the Scallop Contour dies to create a soft and elegant layer under the beautiful Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP. I used Misty Moonlight cardstock for the card base, Boho Blue for the Scallop Contour layer, and added little sprigs in Night of Navy to bring out the various blue hues.

The Stampin’ Up Supremely Awesome stamp set is one of my favorites in the Stampin’ Up 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Like who doesn’t like pizza? LOL To give this first card some pizzaz, I used some Real Red and Old Olive Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I could not help but to decorate the inside of the card with some slices of pizza. I didn’t add any sentiment inside this card because I wanted to have some space to write a personalized note.

I had so much fun creating this second card. I enjoyed creating my own Designer Series Paper (DSP) using the larger piece of pizza and utensils images from the Supremely Awesome stamp set. The Stampin’ Write Markers were used to color in the images.

I added a slice of pizza and some utensils to the inside of the card.

Color Combination: Real Red, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake

How fun are these birthday cards that were created using the Stampin’ Up Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection? The new Stampin’ Up colors are just amazing! To show off the new colors, I decided to make the balloons monochrome. The sentiment “Happy Birthday” was stamped on the medium tone balloons using the darkest color stamp pad (Melon Mambo balloon – Berry Burst Happy Birthday and Azure Afternoon balloon – Blueberry Bushel Happy Birthday). The pattern image on each ballon was created by stamping the image on each balloon using its coordinating stamp pad. For a different look for each card, I rotated the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP). To add some pizzaz I used gold accents (Gold Celebrations 12″ x 12″ Speciality Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Gold Simply Elegant Trim).

I just love all the new Stampin’ Up core colors! Today I wanted to showcase Lemon-Lime Twist in two different color combinations using the new Circle Sayings Bundle.

For this first card I used the following color combination:

Card Measurements:

Card base: 4.25″ x 5.5″

First layer (Lemon Lime Twist): 3.75″ x 5″

Second layer (Brights 6×6 Designer Series Paper): 3.5″ x 4.75

Inside first layer: 3.75″ x 5″

Second card color combination:

I used the Stylish Shape dies for the stitched square and banner. To create the multiple color cupcake image, I colored the stamp with the Stampin’ Write markers, breathed on it (to create moisture…the ink will dry on the stamp), and then stamped the image on basic white cardstock. Next, I stamped the Celebrate sentiment around the cupcake using the coordinating color Classic Stampin’ Pad and punched it out using the 2 3/8″ circle punch.

Finishing touches: Add Simply Elegant Trim to the cupcake image and Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP to the envelope.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. How exciting! I created this pretty Mother’s Day card using the Marigold Moments Bundle which is on the retiring list… it is available to order until the end of April while supplies last. The card base is 4.25″ x 5.5″. I used the 1.75″ circle to punch out three circles out of the gold cardstock for the background to give it some pizazz. I also used the Marigold Moments dies to create the gold border. The petal pink layer is 3.25″ x 4.5″. I used the Marigold Moments dies to create the beautiful flowers. I just love the Melon Mambo layered on top of the Flirty Flamingo to create the flower with the Granny Apple Green stem with leaves. Next, I embossed the sentiment on the black cardstock using the white embossing powder and heat tool. The sentiment was a little larger than I desired for this card so I fussy cut the white embossed sentiment out which made it smaller for the look I was wanting to achieve.

For the inside of the card, I layered a 3.25″ x 4.5″ piece of Petal Pink cardstock onto the Flirty Flamingo card base and added another Marigold Flower.

The Stampin’ Up Rain or Shine suite is so fun to create with. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this suite make it easy to create amazing projects. For this first project I created this cute fun fold Slimline card (8″ x 3.5″) that also has a pocket for a gift card. The flap is 7″ x 3″ (folded at 3.5″) and is tucked under the layer inside of the card. The gift card pocket is 3.25″ x 2″ and I used a small circle die to cut out the little notch on the top

For this next project I created a standard A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″) fun fold card. The Balmy Blue card base is 4.25″ x 5.5″. I layered a 3.75″ x 5.25″ piece of DSP on top of it (but don’t adhere this layer down until later since the side flap will be tucked underneath of it). Next, I created a 3.5″ x 5″ card that is on top of the card base. Lastly, I created the flap which is 8.5″ x 3″ (folded at 4.25″).

Assembly Instructions:

• Adhere flap to card base.
• Adhere DSP on top of the flap/card base.
• Adhere 3.5″ x 5″ card on top of the DSP.

For these last two projects I created standard A2 cards (4.25″ x 5.5″). The two bunnies are just adorable. To complete the scene of it being a rainy day, I added clouds using the Basic Borders dies to the card on the left. I could not just make a rainy day card without making a happy day card. This last card turned out so cheery with the DSP and colors.
