Due to the current health situation, many weddings have to be postponed. When the event is rescheduled, be prepared with a beautiful card. I’m calling today’s card the Poppy Moments Wedding Card, since it features poppies cut with the Poppies Moments Dies. The sentiment and label are from the So Sentimental Bundle. Due to social distancing, the May card class was held via Zoom and participants had fun creating this card together virtually.
And hip, hip, hooray! I have a You Tube video tutorial for you. It’s the first, but I promise you not the last that I’ll create. Yes, it took me awhile but I think I have the filming and editing somewhat figured out. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! LOL If you scroll past the video, you’ll find the list of materials needed to create the card and assembly details.

Do you have friends that enjoy golf? I do! And as a golfer myself, I hear from friends how difficult it is to find golf themed birthday cards especially for females. Today’s project is a female golfer birthday card that was made for a friend’s recent birthday. In the current Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, the Country Club Suite offers a selection of products perfect for creating golf themed cards and projects for both the male and female golfer. Father’s Day will soon be here and I’ll be using the set for a special golf themed card for my husband. The card below features the Country Club Designer Series Paper and the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder. Act quickly though, the Country Club Suite is retiring and the last day to order products from the suite is June 2 or while supplies last.
Card Details:
Crushed Curry Cardstock 4-1/4″ x 11″; score at 5-1/2″ to create card base. Place card front into the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder (will be available in the new Annual Catalog) and texture emboss.
Country Club Designer Series Paper: background layer 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″. NOTE: do not attach to card base yet.
Country Club Designer Series Paper: select golfer image from paper and cut with a Layering Circles Die.
Color the golfer image. For the female golfer on the card, the following Stampin’ Blends Markers are used: Ivory (skin), Light Balmy Blue (skirt), Light & Dark Old Olive (trees) Color Lifter (trees), Soft Suede (tree trunks)
To emphasize the image, Seaside Spray Classic Ink is lightly sponged behind the golfer and trees.
Sponge a small amount of Garden Green Classic Ink along line of the tree bases to mimic grass.
Add the golfer circle to the Country Club Designer Series Paper layer so that the right edge overhangs the designer series paper. Turn over and cut the overhanging piece. Refer to card photo noting the right side of circle is cut. Now attach to the card base using a strong adhesive.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Clubhouse Stamp Set using the Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Ink Pad onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut with coordinating die from the Golf Club Dies. TIP: order the Clubhouse Bundle which includes the stamp set and the dies – you’ll save 10%.
Next, attach the sentiment to a strip of Garden Green cardstock with Snail adhesive.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, add the sentiment to the card and embellish with small Basic Rhinestone Jewels.
The Country Club Suite will definitely get lots of use in my craft room!
Just a reminder:
Be sure to check the Last-Chance Products list to order products in the Country Club Suite and then you’ll be ready for making a variety of golf themed projects. The final day to order the last-chance products is June 2 or while supplies last.

Today’s card design, a Cheerful Hello, utilizes the sketch from the Playtime with Paper weekly challenge. One of my favorite papers is the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, thus I thought it perfect for a cheerful card. Notice the background layer? The Whisper White cardstock has been texture embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Recall, this is an early release product from the upcoming catalog. Continue reading for more card details.
Card Details:
Cut Pool Party cardstock 5-1/2″ x 11″ and score at 4-1/4″. Fold along score line to create the card base.
Texture emboss a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Do not add to card base yet.
Select two coordinating pieces of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and cut each 4-1/4″ x 3″.
Attach the Designer Series Paper to the Whisper White embossed layer using an offset angle for the top layer (refer to photo).
Cut a 24″ piece of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and color with Daffodil Delight. Methods for coloring includes using the Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Blends marker or using drops of Daffodil Delight Ink Refill and a plastic bag to die the ribbon. If you add ink refill drops to a small plastic bag with the ribbon, massage so that ink transfers to ribbon. Remove from the bag and it’s important to let ribbon before using or else the color will transfer to your card. When coloring with the Stampin’ Blends, the color will dries immediately.
Wrap ribbon around the Whisper White layer and across the Designer Series Paper panels. Tie into a small bow.
With a strong adhesive such as Multipurpose Liquid Glue, attach to the Pool Party card base.
Using the Hello sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut the sentiment using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
Attach the sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish using the coordinating Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
Before I forget, here’s the Design Sketch selected for the Playtime with Paper Weekly Challenge:

During the cleaning and reorganizing of my craft cave recently, I came across a package of Lipstick Ink Pens ordered from Amazon last year for one of those “good intentions” projects. You know you have “good intentions” to make a project, order all the materials but it never gets made! Can you relate? Thought I can’t remember the original design, I knew the Dressed to Impress bundle would be perfect to create a 3D project using the ink pens. Even better, the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper contains a variety of colors to coordinate with the Lipstick Ink Pens. The resulting project is a Lipstick Pen and Post-It Note Holder.
For this week’s Playtime with Paper team online meeting, members received a kit for creating this project. It was a fun to be able to meet virtually and craft together making the project.
Project Materials:
Cut the following pieces of cardstock:
Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″ and fold.
Inner Support: cardstock 4″ x 4-1/2″. On the 4-1/2″ side, score at 1/2″, 2-1/4″ and 4″. Fold along score lines to form a “W”.
Lipstick holder: 3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″. Score along the 3-1/2″ side at 3/4″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/4″ and 3″. Score the 2-3/4″ side at 2″. Use bone folder to burnish along the score lines.
For sentiment: Whisper White cardstock 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
Select desired Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and cut as follows:
Use the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Best Dressed Designer Series Paper to one side of the cardstock base. This will be the front side of your project.
Attach the inner support piece to the inside of the base. To do so, add a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the outside of each of the 1/2″ flaps and attach each flap to the lower interior edge of the base.
Create the lipstick holder. With paper snips, cut along each score line on the 3-3/4″ side up to the 2″ scored line. After cutting, you will have 4 tabs that are 3/4″ and one tab that is 1/2″. Cut and remove the 1/2″ tab up to the 2″ score line then cut a small angle at bottom of the tab. Trim along each side of the tab. Add adhesive to outside of the 1/2″ tab and fold side over to create tube. Fold each of the flaps and seal with adhesive to form the tube bottom. Finish by adding the 1/2″ x 1-3/4″ Designer Series Paper to three sides of the tube. With strong adhesive, add the lipstick tube holder to the front panel of the base.
Add the Post-It Notes to the front of the base using a strong adhesive aligning the bottom of note pad with bottom of lipstick tube holder.
Stamp sentiment onto the Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the circle Stitched Shapes Die.
Add the sentiment above the post-it notes using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish by adding a small bow using Mini Glue Dots.
Have fun selecting your favorite Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock to create a Lipstick Pen Holder and Post-It Notes holder for your desk. Be sure to share your project with me in the comments section!

Happy Monday! This past weekend, I carved a bit of time to spend in my craft room completing projects. Several of the projects utilize the Dressed to Impress Bundle and one of my favorite sayings in the bundle: Life is Short, Buy the Shoes. The bundle includes the Dressed to Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating All Dressed Up dies. Since a shoe-loving friend celebrates her birthday in May, the saying is perfect for her birthday card. The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper combines with the stamp set to create the card.
“Life is Short, Buy The Shoes” Card Details:
Card base is Purple Posy cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded).
Texture emboss the card front using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
Cut the purple floral Best Dressed Designer Series Paper 5-1/4″ x 1-3/4″. Attach to the left side of the card front using adhesive.
The shoe design Best Dressed Designer Series Paper is cut 2″ x 3-1/2″. Add to the card front as shown in the card photo.
Using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, cut a 3-1/2″ x 2″ piece of Purple Posy cardstock.
Stamp the sentiment, Life is Short, Buy the Shoes, using Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a 1-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Die. Adhere to the Purple Posy stitched label and attach entire layered label to the card front.
On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, use the shoe stamp and Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp two shoes. Color the shoes using the Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blends Marker. Cut each shoe using the coordinating die from the All Dressed Up Dies.
Add the shoes to the sentiment layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finish the card by adding a bow using the Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon or the Mint Macaron Sheer Ribbon.
Also – Don’t forget to embellish the envelope!
