Apr 28, 2021 | 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, Bundles, January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, Many Messages |
In my last post, I shared with you “the must have stamp bundle”. As promised, in this post, I am sharing four cards using the Many Messages bundle. You’ll notice from the cards that one uses designer series paper that is no longer available. How many times have you started a card design only to set it aside to complete later? That’s the case with the card with the Butterfly Bijou designer series paper. But that’s what’s wonderful about the Many Messages bundle! You can design card fronts, set them aside and then add a sentiment from Many Messages at a later time. Actually, all of the cards that I’m sharing are designs that were prepared without a specific sentiment planned. I assembled the fronts, set aside the embellishment pieces and later completed the cards by selecting precut Many Messages sentiments. Remember, there are 17 different sentiments that you can use…I’m only showing four!
Great news! The Many Messages bundle is in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog so it’ll be around for awhile. Even better, there’s another stamp of sentiments that coordinates with the same die in the new catalog. Mark your calendar, ordering from the new catalog begins on May 4, 2021!
JUST A REMINDER…
The current catalog is retiring on May 3, 2021 (next week!) so that means the final days of the Last-Chance Products Sale is winding down. You’ll want to nab items that will retire before they are no longer available. Check out the Last-Chance Products Sale items here. Several bundles are retiring but will be available individually without the additional bundle savings in the catalog. To view a PDF list of the Last-Chance Product Sale items, you can download it here: Last-Chance Products 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. So grab your highlighter marker, highlight items wanted and place your order soon!

Feb 3, 2021 | Cards, January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, Quick & Easy, Simple Stamping, Snailed It, Whimsical |
Looking for a fun, whimsical bundle?! Look no more – the Snailed It Suite provides lots of playful, whimsical fun. Today’s Happy Mail card uses the Snailed It Bundle. The bundle includes the Snailed It Stamp Set and coordinating Snail Dies. And using with the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create a bright, cheerful card. Best of all, the Snail Dies coordinate with some of the images in the designer series paper. See the snail on the Happy Mail card? It’s cut from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper with a coordinating die. Easy -peasy! Stamp the envelope with Happy Mail enclosed and the card is set to mail. This card definitely is #simple stamping!
Details:
Create the card base using Daffodil Delight cardstock (8-1/2″ x 11″, score and fold at 4-1/4″). Attach a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Bermuda Bay designer series paper from the Snail Mail DSP pack onto the card base. Cut a 1″ x 4″ strip of the mini hearts designer series paper and attach to the card – referring to photo for placement. Using the Snail Dies, cut the following: a large snail from the designer series paper; one large and two small mushrooms from a scrap of Real Red cardstock, the inside note from a scrap of Basic White cardstock and the envelope from a 3″ x 3″ square of Daffodil Delight cardstock.
Stamp “hello” onto the Basic White note using Bermuda Bay Classic Ink Pad and embellish with the Resin Hearts. Fold the envelope flaps leaving the top flap open. Glue Dots hold the flaps closed. Slide the note into the envelope, attach with glue dots to secure and use Stampin’ Seal+ to add to the card front. Finish the card by adding mushrooms to the card front and layering the large snail using Stampin’ Dimensionals. And don’t forget – stamp Happy Mail enclosed onto the envelope using Real Red Classic Ink Pad.
Youngsters and young at heart will enjoy receiving Happy Mail!

Jan 28, 2021 | Cards, Fine Art Floral, Floral, January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, Thank You, Uncategorized |
Where did the time go? Wednesday sped by and I’m late on my weekly Wednesday post! Hey, better late than never. No worries though, today I am sharing not one but three cards showcasing Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. So, it’s worth the wait (LOL).
The paper is gorgeous and provides a beautiful background for cards. With it’s beauty, you can make gorgeous cards easily. Since I am in need of Thank You cards, I am using the same sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set on all three of the cards. For all the cards, the same basic cardstock colors are used. But on two of the cards, I have “stepped up” the designs using the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate on one and Gilded Leafing Embellishment on another.
Details:
- The sentiment for all 3 of the cards is stamped onto Basic White cardstock and cut using a die from the Hippo & Friends Dies. Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots are added for extra embellishment.
- The base for card one is So Saffron cardstock with a layer of Terracotta Tile cardstock. For cards two and three, Terracotta Tile cardstock creates the base and a second layer of So Saffron cardstock is added.
- Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (3-3/4″ x 5″) creates the top layer on each card.
- For card one, the designer series paper is adhered to the Terracotta Tile cardstock layer before the cardstock layer is added to the card base. Wrap a piece of Terracotta Tile Ribbon (from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack) around the layer then adhere to the card base.
- On card two, the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate is layered atop the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Since the specialty acetate matches the designer series paper, it adds beautiful gold outlining to the print.
- And lastly, to step up card three, the coordinating Art Gallery Stamp Set is used to stamp 3 small flowers and Gilded Leaf Embellishment highlights the center of each. Two of the flowers are stamped using Terracotta Tile (stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping onto Basic White piece) and one flower stamped using So Saffron. After stamping the main piece with the inks, the inner piece is stamped with Versamark, Heat & Stick Powder is applied then activated with the Heat Tool. Once activated, the Gilded Leaf Embellishment is added and rubbed on each flower. Easy-peasy!
If you’re looking for lots of fun – definitely try the Gilded Leaf Embellishment!

Jan 20, 2021 | Cards, January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, Simple Stamping, Stampin' Up! |
Have you ever purchased a stamp set and then wondered what type card design you were going to make once you received it? Well, that is the case with today’s stamp set, Enjoy The Moment. So what did I do? I selected a couple of the stamps and decided to play. No plan in mind but just to stamp. Several colors were selected and then I just started stamping on various papers. Guess what happened? A few ideas came to mind. So I’m sharing two simple cards using the Enjoy The Moment stamp set.
Details:
- For the “a little note” card on the left, a card base is created using Early Espresso cardstock. Follow with a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock. To the Crumb Cake layer, add a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. Stamp the image onto a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock (1-3/4″ x 5″) using Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment below the image. To add a touch of sparkle, color the pods using clear Wink of Stella (unfortunately, it doesn’t show in photo) Attach the strip to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Complete the card by adding a double Linen Thread bow.
- Now, for a super simple card! Create a card base using Soft Suede cardstock. Create background by randomly stamping the dual seed pods onto the cardstock using Soft Suede Classic Ink. Next, use the “seed” stamp to add seeds on the card base. Stamp the sentiment and the dual seed pods onto a 3″ x 3″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using the 2nd largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Tie a piece of the Vanilla Open-Weave Ribbon (from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack) around the card front and tie into a bow. Add the sentiment label next to the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Both of these cards are simple to make which are perfect for highlighting the Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set. Other ideas came to mind when making these cards so look for more projects soon highlighting this stamp set.
