Jul 12, 2019 | 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, Birthday, Masculine, Stampin' Blends |
Today is my husband’s birthday so I decided to use the On to Adventure stamp set stamp set to create his birthday card. Since his retirement, he spends several days a week playing golf. So when I saw the On To Adventure stamp set, I knew the golfer would get lots of use. The Well Written Dies provide the birthday greeting and help keep the focus on the golfer. If you’ve not seen the set, be sure to check it out in the Annual Catalog on page 28. In addition to the golfer, there are three other stamps that can be combined with other sets to create fun cards. And the Well Written dies provide a variety of sentiment options.
Card Details:
- Night of Navy cardstock (8-1/2″ x 5-12″, scored & folded at 4-1/4″) creates the card base.
- A 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper is the second layer.
- Card front layer is Whisper White cardstock (3-3/4″ x 5″).
- With Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the golfer onto a 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color, as desired, with Stampin’ Blends. The Stampin’ Blends colors used for this card are Ivory, Dark Night of Navy, Dark Balmy Blue, Light Granny Apple Green, Light Smoky Slate, Light and Dark Crumb Cake. Cut using the medium circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies. With Snail Adhesive, layer onto a Night of Navy cardstock circle cut using the Layering Circles Dies.
- Cut sentiment from of Night of Navy cardstock using the Well Written Dies. To adhere to the card front, lightly sponge Multipurpose Liquid Glue onto the back of each word and place on the card front. TIP: use a sponge dauber. Rinse after use then label the dauber to use specifically for applying liquid glue.
- Crisscross Braided Linen trim across upper portion of card. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the golfer to the card over the crisscross.
Be sure to check out all of the stamps in the On To Adventure stamp set. The stamp designs with the shaded areas make coloring easy to do.

May 1, 2019 | 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, 2018-2020 In-Colors, Birthday, In Colors, Uncategorized |
Since the announcement of retiring products by Stampin’ Up!, I am using my retiring products to make room for new items. Who else is a paper hoarder?! My paper tray has been holding a package of the In Color 2018-2020 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper waiting for use. Instead of recreating the wheel, I chose to recreate a monochromatic Blueberry Bushel card sent to last year’s In Color Club members. Because instructions were included with the card, it was easy for me to quickly make a series of cards. By varying the sentiments, I have cards ready for a variety of occasions.
To showcase the Blueberry Bushel designer series paper, strips are cut from the different designs. Because the card is monochromatic, the designs coordinate and create visual interest. You can locate the instructions for this card under the Tutorial tab.
Reminder: The Everything is Rosy Product Medley is available for order starting today. This medley is only available during May and while supplies last. Don’t forget that if you place your order with me, you’ll receive the blank note cards and envelopes set as a Thank You gift.
Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Apr 3, 2019 | Birthday, Cards, Memories and More, Stampin' Up!, Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Uncategorized, Waterfront |
The Waterfront birthday card in today’s post is a great card when you need a generic themed card. It features the Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Well Written Framelits Dies. Notice the card size. It uses the 4″ x 6″ Night of Navy Card Base from the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. The Memories & More cards & envelopes simplify card making and offers two sizes of cards with matching envelopes.
Since the card base is larger, a couple of cardstock layers fill the blank space. Tan and navy are a wonderful color combination. Therefore, Crumb Cake cardstock is sandwiched between the Night of Navy layers. Stamp the images from the Waterfront Stamp Set onto the Whisper White cardstock using a variety of classic stampin’ pad colors. Use a blender pen to soften any overlapping lines. The color selection for the card above includes Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry. When stamping the center mountain with the Crumb Cake ink, stamp off the image onto a scrap paper once before stamping onto the card. Stamp the mountains on the left and right without stamping off.
After stamping the images onto the card, use the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add texture. Unfortunately the texture is not evident in the photo but it has the appearance of a linen paper.
Birthday Wishes is cut from Night of Navy cardstock using Well Written Framelits Dies. TIP: attach a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the Night of Navy prior to cutting with the framelits. This makes it easy to add the sentiment to the card front.
The Waterfront Stamp Set is perfect for creating generic birthday cards and is my go to set for masculine themed cards. Order your supplies below under Project Materials.
Thanks for stopping by! See you on Friday with a new project idea.

The card today is another Celebrating Birthdays sample from the monthly class. It is a quick and simple card. Yet the use of the Country Floral Dynamic Texture Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) creates a look of elegance. The Petal Pink and Whisper White color scheme provides a soft look. Another reminder, the Country Floral Dynamic TIEF is currently available for FREE during Sale-a-bration. (psst – here’s a secret: the embossing folder is carrying over in the new catalog out on June 3rd but why wait and pay for it when you can get it free with a $50 order through March 31)
Below are the materials and directions for recreating the card:
Materials:
- Petal Pink Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base); 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ square (for circle)
- Whisper White Cardstock: cut two: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (one for card front, one for interior); 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ square (for sentiment)
- Vellum Cardstock: 2″ x 3″
- Special Celebrations Stamp Set
- Petal Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)
- Layering Circles Framelits
- Leaf Punch
- Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins
- Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon
- Snail Adhesive
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Mini-Glue Dots
- Big Shot
- Clear Block Size D
Directions:
- Use the Country Floral Dynamic TIEF to texture emboss one 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White cardstock. Attach to front of Petal Pink card base with adhesive.
- Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Special Celebrations stamp set on the small Whisper White cardstock square. Cut circle using a Layering Circles Framelits Die.
- Cut the Petal Pink cardstock square using the next size of Layering Circles Framelits.
- Punch 2 sets of leaves from the Vellum cardstock using the Leaf Punch. Sandwich the leaves between the sentiment layer and the Petal Pink cardstock circle layer. Attach to the center of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish by adding Petal Pink adhesive-backed sequins and a Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon bow to complete the card front.
