Birthday Fan Fold Card

I created this card, as a Design Team Member, for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #677



This was a card that intrigued me to make.  It took a few attempts before I got it right.  Not sure if I will make this card again, but I'm pretty happy with the final results.

For my "Birthday" card, I used Stampin' Up! Charming Day Bundle, Unbounded Love Stamp Set & Floral Charm DSP.

I decided on a new SU color - Timid Tiger for my card base.

I'm really loving the Floral Charm DSP!  All the papers are SO pretty!

The leaves are from Charming Day Dies, die cut from DSP.

Linen Thread was looped twice and adhered behind the sentiment.

I used 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls for the embellishments.


Inside my card is Basic White with a triangle along the right.  The sentiment is from Unbounded Love Stamp Set, stamped with Timid Tiger ink.

I adhered a coordinating DSP on the envelope flap.

Celebrate!

This card was created for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #676.



My "Celebrate" card uses Stampin' Up! Blooming Phrases & Unbounded Love Stamp Sets, Everyday Arches Dies, Lovely Garden DSP & Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP.

Melon Mambo was used as my card base.  A color I rarely used and it's such a pretty color.
The next layers are Basic White, DSP & Specialty DSP.

On the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper, I added color first with a Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink ink, keeping the center lighter (where the arch die cut would be).  Next I added a darker color using Melon Mambo ink only around the edges.

The flowers were fussy cut from DSP adhering one behind the arch die cut and the smaller flower on the arch.

Linen Thread was adhered behind the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Blooming Phrases Stamp Set, stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels are the embellishments used.


Inside my card is Basic White with a strip of Specialty DSP with a light color of Pretty in Pink added.  The flower was also fussy cut from DSP.

The sentiment is from Unbounded Love Stamp Set, also stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

DSP was adhered on the envelope flap as well.

Impressions Abloom Birthday

 Have I mentioned before that card swaps are SO FUN?

What a great opportunity to see the wide variety of cards you will receive back!  And from these cards, you can CASE (copy) various elements to make additional cards your own!

I created this "Birthday" card for A Stamp Above July Card Swap.

I used Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Bundle, Year of Flowers Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes & Everyday Arches Dies, Floral Delight DSP, Silver Foil Sheets & Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

Daffodil Delight was used as my card base with a layer of Floral Delight DSP.

Secret Sea was embossed using Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.  Wow!  This is an amazing embossing folder!!  I absolutely love it!
After embossing, I used a White ink pad to brush lightly over the raised embossing.  Super cool!

The frame was die cut using Everyday Arches Dies and Silver Foil Sheets.

The flowers were die cut using Daffodil Delight with Impressions Abloom Dies.  The leaves die cut with Old Olive and the flower centers die cut using Secret Sea.

A Blending Brush and Crushed Curry ink was used to add color to the centers of the flowers for a little more shading.

Holographic Resin Dots embellishments are the finishing touches on my card.

Inside my card is Basic White.  The flower & leaves were stamped with Daffodil Delight, Old Olive & Secret Sea inks.

The sentiment was stamped with Secret Sea ink.

Happy Anniversary Love Birds

I created this card a few months ago for a swap.  

What a fun stamp set and these birds are so cute!  Perfect for an Anniversary card.

Inspiration for this card came from the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

For my Anniversary card, I used Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun, Mixed Labels & Textured Notes Stamp Sets, Mixed Labels Dies & Turtle-y Cute DSP.

Timid Tiger was used as my card base.


A strip of Turtle-y Cute DSP was adhered behind Basic White.

Leaves from Textured Notes Stamp Set, were stamped on the card base (lower right) using Granny Apple Green ink.

To create the squares I used a Clear Block to press directly onto the stamp pad.  Next, I misted it with the Stampin' Spritzer and pressed directly onto Basic White cardstock.  The colors used were Darling Duckling, Pool Party & Timid Tiger inks.

The birds were stamped with Memento ink after the stamped squares dried completely.

The sentiment is from Mixed Labels Stamp Set, stamped with Timid Tiger ink, onto a label die cut from Mixed Labels DiesLinen Thread was looped into a bow and adhered behind the sentiment before adhering with Stampin' Dimensionals onto the card.

Embellishments are Holographic Resin Dots.

Inside my card is Basic White.  The leaf was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink.  The two hearts stamped with Pool Party ink.
