Wow, it’s Wednesday, the day is coming to an end and I’m just now working on the post for today! The Labor Day weekend has thrown me off schedule (LOL). Today, I’m sharing the last of the August card class Nature’s Harvest cards. This card is sending healing thoughts. Notice the textured background?

Today I’m back with another of the Nature’s Harvest Bundle August Class cards. I’m calling this the “never forget” card since the wording is from the sentiment. Just like the “good luck” card, this card is simple but beautiful. You’ll notice the die cut stalk (sheath of wheat or grass?) cut from the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper. This paper is one of the FREE items available in the current Sale-a-Bration brochure. It’s a gorgeous paper and adds elegance to the card front. Plus, it coordinates beautifully with the Crumb Cake/White color scheme.
Nature’s Harvest “Never Forget” Card Materials:
Harvest Nature’s Bundle
Basic White Thick cardstock (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”; score at 4-1/4” for base) and scrap piece for sentiment

One of the hardest cards for me to create is a masculine birthday card. And of course, I have lots of males in my family! Fortunately, Stampin’ Up! is adding more and more stamp sets appropriate for creating male themed cards. One such is the Hats Off Bundle.
Last month, we celebrated my husband’s birthday and I knew the hat stamp with the coordinating die would be perfect to use. Though I could have gone in many directions with the hat, I settled upon creating a hat honoring his alma mater – LSU. The gold and purple colors were easy as the Gorgeous Grape and Bumblebee cardstocks combine perfectly to match LSU’s colors. For the emblem, I surfed the internet and scaled down the logo. The card was a success and my husband was surprised that I could create a hat honoring his favorite university. As for the birthday sentiment, the Biggest Wishes stamp set is one of my favorite “go to” stamps.
Project Materials:
Hats Off Bundle
Biggest Wish Stamp Set
Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder
Card Base: Bumblebee Cardstock (5-1/2″ x 11″; score and fold at 4-1/4″)
Layer One: Gorgeous Grape Designer Series Paper (5-1/4″ x 4″). Comes from the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Package.
Basic White cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/4″
Classic Stampin’ Pads: Gorgeous Grape & Bumblebee
Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 4″ x 3″ to cut hat
Bumblebee Cardstock: 4″ x 3″ and scrap for hat medallion
Sponge Dauber
Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
Adhesive (Stampin’ Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive)
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Tips:
Watch the video below on tips for stamping with the hat photopolymer stamp to achieve a perfectly cut hat. (note, the video is not for constructing the hat, just a tip for using the hat stamp & coordinating die)
Stamp the hat on the Gorgeous Grape & the Bumblebee cardstocks using the same color as the cardstock. Then cut each with the hat die. Cut the “bill” from the Bumblebee hat and attach to the Gorgeous Grape hat.
Stamp sentiments before texture embossing the Basic White layer.
Use sponge daubers to sponge around stitching and brim of hat with the coordinating colors.
Hope the stamping & die cutting tip useful for you! And, be sure to have fun creating hats for the favorite people in your life (male or female!)

If you’ve followed some of my previous post, you know I enjoy making special packaging for small gifts. One of my favorite small gifts to give is the pocket size Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizers. For the last Playtime with Paper team meeting, I created the Peachy Day Hand Sanitizer Holder for the B&B Works Peach Mango sanitizer. Isn’t it wonderful that Stampin’ Up! and B&B Works coordinates their themes?! (LOL) The original design for the holder is from Erica Cerwin (Pink Buckaroo Designs) and is one of my favorite designs for packaging hand sanitizers. It’s much simpler than other designs that I have used and is great for also showing the decorative sanitizer label. Thanks to Erica!
You’ll find project details and an assembly video below the project photo…
Materials for the Peachy Day Hand Sanitizer Holder:
Pale Papaya Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 4-3/4″. Score on the long side at 1″ and 2″. Rotate and score on the short side at 1″ and 2-3/4″.

For the final Christmas in July project, I have chosen to create an Art in Bloom holiday card. The Art in Bloom Bundle is in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The Art in Bloom Bundle includes the Art in Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. Be sure to watch the assembly video below to see how to use Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. While the bundle isn’t a holiday design, by using traditional holiday colors of red & green the Art in Bloom Bundle easily transitions to a holiday card. Additionally, using the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (a returning favorite in the Mini Catalog!) and adding a holiday sentiment completes the card’s theme.
