Biggest Wish Bold Birthday Card Tutorial

Today I’ve got a quick and easy card for you that has a bold feel using the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052)

I just love the big bold sentiments in this set combined with a lovely font on the compagnion sentiment, don’t you?

So today’s card is done in shades of blue and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467) is perfect for this type look since the paper uses shades of Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White. I’ve teamed it up with our Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (160581) and fun Ombre Matte Decorative Dots (161448).

Want to see how I created this card? Here is a quick tutorial and PDF for you showing you how.

Fun Folds with Designer Series Paper

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to share another fun tutorial with you. This month our Designer Series Papers are on sale and so I thought I’d share a fun fold with you that shows off our beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467). After all who isn’t a fan of blue? And this paper with it’s shades of blue is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. It’s also on sale during the month of June, woohoo who doesn’t like to save?

I’ve teamed up this paper with the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052) because I love the bold sentiments. The fact that you can team up the bold sentiments with the secondary sentiment which uses a lovely font is a bonus too.

And with so many shades of blue to choose from in our Classic Inks your options are endless. Today’s project uses our new 2023-2023 In Color Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and our returning Balmy Blue Classic Inks.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you so you can make this fun fold too! I’ve got a printable tutorial with the measurements, supply list and more to make crafting easy.

Yummy Pale Papaya

I couldn’t resist this soft color and immediately fell in love with this NEW 2021 In Color as soon as I saw it. How about you?

Whether your a fan or not quite sure yet, why not check out these wonderful swaps using the In Color Pale Papaya? They are Monochromatic cards and show just how great this color is! I’ll start with this soft and lovely floral card that uses the Pierced Bloom Dies (154312) as a back drop for the lovely sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set (155052).

The Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) used on this card and the next two cards brings in a soft background of Pale Papaya too. And I think you’ll love the soft feel of the Open Weave Ribbon (155672) for your project since it ties easily and doesn’t have a lot of bulk to it.

This next card uses one of our new stamp sets, All Squared Away (155087)

the sweet Genial Gem (155500) makes the center of the flower have a bit of sparkle. And how about a one of my favorite sets? This card uses the Enjoy the Moment stamp set (154452)

Filled with images from nature and some wonderful sentiments, it is a great choice to add to your collection. Check out the lovely little sequins from the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequin pack (152477). They coordinate nicely with the Pale Papaya.

The Sweet Strawberry stamp set (158231) was used to create this next card using the 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (155641), Jewels (155571), and Stampin’ Write Markers (155639).

Like flowers? Then the Daisy Garden Background stamp (155079) and Daisy Lane stamp set (149325) might be right for you.

The Daisy Lane stamp set has some great sentiments and has 2 coordinating punches so it makes things a snap. The bit of Vellum has been die cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (152714) to add a bit of interest and there are those fun Genial Gems too. They are great for tons of different projects with their little bit of shimmer. And this last card has been dry embossed with the Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder (152953).

A bit of sponging highlights the embossed image and sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set (155095) that has been punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch (151296). More of the Genial Gems are used for a bit of shimmer and the 1/2″ Pale Papaya & White Ribbon (155816) adds a bit more texture with its loving weaving of white throughout and on the edges.

So what do you think of our new 2021 In Color, Pale Papaya? Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out? You’ll find this and our 4 other In Colors that are available by themselves, as a bundle. In addition you’ll see all kinds of accessories that coordinate with Pale Papaya making it a great choice to purchase.

Maui Swaps & More

Today I wanted to share some more of the fantastic swaps that I got on the Incentive trip. This swap was an optional part of the trip and we had a choice of cards or 3d. Today’s post again is all about the cards.

And there were lots who participated, the boards were so full that not everyone’s made it on to the board, mine included. But I’ve already shared my card with you on the 18th HERE along with the video and tutorial in case you wanted to see it.

On to the swaps… This first one is bright and cheerful and perfect for the event! Magenta Madness and the In the Tropics Dies (151495). Yep, no stamping just dies were used to create this card and the bright cheerful colors make it fun.

And check out this next card which uses strips of the 2021 In Colors.

Clever, right? the strips adhered to a Basic Black card stock piece and were then die cut using the Hippo & Friends Dies (153585). The sentiment is from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set (155385) and those fun little speckles from the Clear & Contour stamp set (154994).

Another bright and cheerful card using the exclusive Host Designer Series Paper, Pattern Party (Host 155426). It works perfectly with this bold stamp set, Biggest Wish (155052).

Our White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326) is perfect for this project since you can add color to the ribbon so easily! And inside is just as bright and fun, check it out.

The very popular Artistically Inked Suite is highlighted on this next card.

With all the gold foiling the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) is sure to impress.

This next card uses the fun In Symmetry stamp set (155140), Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper (155605) and new Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475).

I love the way our Champagne Rhinestones (151193) pick up the colors on the card. And it’s a fun fold too.

My last swap that I wanted to share with you today is a Slim Line Card done in our 2021 In Colors.

They look so great together! The card was quick and easy since it uses the New Flowers & Leaves Punch (155373), Heart Punch Pack (151292) and the Banners Pick a Punch (153608).

Got a favorite swap that I shared with you today? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.

More Incentive Trip Highlights

I thought I’d share a few more pictures with you from the Incentive Trip. This first one is of the Maui Gold Pineapple Tour, our guide Ken was a lot of fun. I can’t tell you how sad I am that we’ve cut into our last Maui Gold pineapple. I’m trying to figure out how I can hide it from the family without feeling guilty! Ah, well I guess I’ll be sharing it is too good not to share.

These next few photos are of the Stampin’ Up! excursion – we chose snorkeling and were so glad we did. We had a lot of fun being on a catamaran for the first time and watching the sails go up. While I just love being on the water, Larry can struggle with it and experienced a bit of motion sickness.

While our cameras don’t do justice to the fish the snorkeling was fantastic and there was a lot of variety too.

We spent a lovely afternoon around the resort. Here are some more pictures of the resort – these views never get old. Early morning I think was my favorite with the pinks from the sun rise.

To end the day we enjoyed dinner with Sherrie and her husband Jeff at the Maui Brewery Co. It was nice catching up and that we got to meet each others spouses after knowing each other for years. (I always enjoy doing Sherrie’s Shoebox Swaps at our live events.)

I had the Coconut Shrimp Fried Rice Sherrie said the other demonstrators were raving about. It was soooo yummy!

Whew, so much food and I loved the presentation. If you’d like to see more of the photos that I took from the Incentive Trip stop by my facebook page and check them out.

Then stop back by next week when I’ll be sharing more cards & the 3d swaps with you.
