This week, I am sharing another card from the recent All About Tulips Class. It’s a Windmill Side Panel Step card. This is a fun card to make and though it looks complicated, it’s not. The only stamping is the sentiment. The remainder of design elements include the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and die cuts! You’ll find all the components for the windmill in the Windmill Fields Dies. After prepping the materials, the assembly only takes a few minutes so it’s one of those projects where you can plan to make card multiples. Just cut the extra pieces and have everything ready to assemble at once. You’ll find the assembly video for the Windmill Side Panel Step Card and the project material dimensions below.
I hope you have fun creating this windmill and tulip inspired card. The Simple Suite Stampers are featuring Heart & Home Product Suite this month so in my next post, I’ll be sharing a project using the suite. Plus, I’ll have details on how you can get this month’s tutorials. Be sure to subscribe to receive my posts so you won’t miss out on the latest project ideas!

Recently I was invited to join the Simple Suite Stampers. You may ask who are the Simple Suite Stampers and what’s it about? The Simple Suite Stampers is a design team of twelve Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators that create monthly tutorials. Each month a suite of products is chosen and each designer creates a simple project featuring items from the suite. For this month, the Sweet Talk Bundle is the feature. Even though Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, the tutorials feature inspiration for using the Sweet Talk Product Suite for different occasions. It’s easy to change sentiments to highlight the occasion you’re celebrating.
For my project, I opted to create an engagement card. The Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper is perfect for creating a wide variety of love themed projects.
Materials: (for full list of items used, scroll to Project Materials)
Pool Party Cardstock: 5-1/2 x 11 score and fold at 4-1/4″ for card base, 4-1/4″ x 3″ (layering piece), scraps for die cutting small flowers
Real Red Cardstock: 3″ x 3″
Basic White Cardstock: 3″ x 3/4″
Granny Apple Green Cardstock: Scrap for die cutting leaves
Designer Series Paper – Sweet Talk: 5-1/4″ x 4″; Stripe 4″ x 2-3/4″
Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
Instructions:
Create card base by layering as follows: large heart designer series paper, smaller rectangle of Pool Party Cardstock and on top, the striped Designer Series Paper panel.
Using the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and heart die, cut and emboss the piece of Real Red Cardstock.
Die cut 3 small flowers from a scrap of Pool Party Cardstock and 2 leaves from Granny Apple Green Cardstock.
Stamp the sentiment from the Love & Happiness Stamp Set onto the strip of Basic White Cardstock using black ink pad and use die to cut shape.
Center heart onto top panel of card. Using Dimensionals add the sentiment across the heart. Layer the flowers and leaves on the left side of the sentiment.
Embellish center of flowers with Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Let’s have some fun with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. You’ll find the decorative masks on page 65 in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! It’s easy to overlook them but don’t! There’s lots you can do with the masks to create a variety of card fronts. I have created samples using two different Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative masks. Plus, you’ll see two different options for using the masks. One option uses a large floral mask to create a focal point for a card front and the other option uses the repeating small flower design to create a background. A list of materials for creating the cards is below, as well as, an assembly video. You’ll see how easy it is to create beautiful cards with the decorative masks.

This cute Elf Christmas Gift Tag uses the Delicate Baubles Dies. The idea for creating an elf using the dies is from Connie Babbert at www.inkspiredtreasures.com. She has an array of cards using the dies for holiday characters. When I saw the elf on the card she created, I knew it would make a cute gift tag. Just so you know – the Delicate Baubles Dies are on the Last Chance List and will be retiring soon so don’t hesitate, place your order ASAP. In the video below I show you how easy and fun it is to create a gift tag using the dies.
Materials for the Elf Gift Tag:
Delicate Baubles Dies (use arabesque shape)
Granny Apple Green Cardstock 3” x 8-1/2”, score & fold at 4-1/4”
3 stripes of 1/8”Real Red cardstock, scrap of Real Red cardstock for collar
Gold Foil (scrap)
Ornate Frames Dies
Basic Black 1/2” x 3-1/4” & 1/2” x 3/4”
Champagne Rhinestones
Gold Ribbon
Hole Punch
Video Tutorial
Now, you know how easy it is to recreate the Elf Christmas gift tag. I made several elf tags to embellish gifts under this year’s Christmas tree.
My next post will also feature more gift tags using the Delicate Baubles Dies. Remember, the dies are retiring soon so place your order for the dies while the dies are still available.
