Today’s card uses one of my favorite fun folds since it allows a bit of Designer Series Paper shine!
This time I’ve used the bold stripe in Poppy Parade from the Brights Collection Designer Series Paper (161643) assortment pack and teamed it up with Coastal Cabana for a classic retro kind of feel.
If you have a teen or a music lover the Enjoy the Rhythm Stamp set (160361) is a great choice for crafting. I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial and PDF for you too.
And on a quick side note – some of my links are not working quite right and taking you to the main corporate store front. If shopping with me make sure to choose me as your demonstrator so you’ll get your free gift. If you use my Host Code you know it is me 🙂 Thanks for understanding and being patient while IT gets it straightened out.
And of course as always you are welcome to contact me with your order if you prefer. Simply email me at [email protected]
Today’s card uses the Sweet Songbirds stamp set (158721) and while it is a quick and easy fun fold it uses some bold color to really make it pop.
Done in Blueberry Bushel and Tahitian Tide it’s bright and cheerful. And while this stamp set has a coordinating Songbird Builder Punch (158726) giving it even more versatility this card is done with simple stamping. My daughter is a music teacher so I’m always creating thank you cards for her and figured this one will work well for her thank you cards that she’ll need for band camp this month. Want to see how I made it? Here is a quick Video and PDF Tutorial for you.
if you’d like to learn more about this fun little stamp set why not check it out in my Online Store.
The PDF has a full supply list and the measurements for you so you can make some too.
Need a wonderful Suite of products for those guy cards that we always need on hand? Why not take another look at the He’s The Man Suite of Products (159083)?
It’s got not only a wonderful stamp set and dies, but a Specialty Designer Series Paper and embellishments too. Check out these wonderful cards using this Suite and more.
This first card is a fun fold – when you open it you have a place to tuck a little something too.
And this next one is also a fun fold called a z fold
And if you aren’t in the mood for stamping or just need a quick card check out the Die Cut Sheets in the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (159068) that was used for this next card that uses just the paper to make a statement.
And of course the Matte Black Dots (154284) team up well with this Suite too. So what do you think? Can you see just how easy this Suite is to use and create with? Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out? And remember if the Suite or Bundle is no long available you can still order the items individually.
Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a new tutorial with you!
Sentiment stamp sets are one of my favorite things to add to my collection. They give me a fresh new selection of greetings that breath life into sets I already have on my shelf. Are you a sentiment set fan too?
Here are some lovely cards using the sentiments from this set. This first card uses Heat Embossing in silver to create the focal point of the card and the coordinating punch has been used to add interest.
The Silver Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon (159193) adds a bit more shine. This next fun fold card uses the same sentiment but adds the wonderful Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913) for a fun bold color pallet. The Decorative Circle Punch (159174) adds a whimsical feel to the project and a bit of shimmer was added with the Opal Rounds (1542898). Can you see them on the ornaments?
And how about this next card? The traditional colors found in the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (159559) make a great back drop for this sentiment on this fun fold card that will stand up with just a couple of score lines. You simply take your 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Garden Green panel and score at the 2″, 3 1/8″, 5 3/8″, 6 1/2″ marks.
Last but not least here is a Valentine card using the set along with Real Red & White Glimmer Paper (159578) and the same Designer Series Paper as the card above. The back side of this holiday paper has wonderful patterns and textures too making it extend the use of the paper into the new year.
So what do you think no two cards alike, right? Isn’t that one of the great things about paper crafting? We start with the same stamp set and end up with tons of choices! Have a favorite card? Why not leave me a comment today and let me know which one you like?

Each month my team gathers for our monthly Team Meeting and we share, laugh, and stamp with each other. Part of this monthly meeting is swapping. I always love to see what my group has been creating and so today I thought I’d share our June swaps with you.
This first card uses our Sweet Ice Cream Suite found in our January – June Mini Catalog on page 49. While the stamp and punch carried over to the Annual Catalog, the coordinating products in the Suite did not and are still available until June 30th while supplies last.
This fun fold card is sure to make someone smile.
And this next card is made with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle (159523)
How about a quick emboss resist with our Blending Brushes (153611) and the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (155079)?
This soft and subtle look was created with 2 of our NEW In Colors, Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen and White Embossing Powder (155554). And here is a fun spanner card made with the Pansy Petal Suite of products found on page 28-29 in the Annual Catalog.
If you love the Pansy Petals Suite, why not check out my Class schedule? I’ve got a class coming up in July highlighting this set that you can get for FREE when you place a qualifying purchase during registration. Choose from my LIVE event or Online version.

And finally a couple of cards made with our NEW Kits Collection. This first card uses the Precious Parcel Kit (156996)

Both of these all inclusive kits are non stamping kits and have everything you need to make some wonderful cards. Why not stop by my online store and check out all the great kits we have to choose from? They are a great way to craft on the go or even make great gifts for all ages.

I love getting together with my Team everyone month, we stamp, share, and enjoy catching up. Part of our meeting is sharing projects and seeing what everyone has been stamping. This month our swap theme was the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (155821), so I thought I’d share the wonderful projects everyone brought.
These first cards I’ll be sharing with you use the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and some fun folds. I can’t pick a favorite? Can you? This fun fold is called a stand up card and is created with some quick score lines. Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (154883) were used to color the butterfly and then a Basic Black (121045) die cut piece was added on top.
Our Blending Brushes were used on this next card to create a lovely soft background for the butterflies and the Story Label Punch (Retiring 150076) was used to highlight the sentiment.
And finally this lovely card done using a variety of our Stampin’ Blends. Butterflies peak out from behind the card front sentiment layer.
For this next fun Pop Up Card the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (154411) was used.
The punch was used to cut out the Dragonflies from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (Retiring 154297) for the center’s pop up.
Fun right? And finally a lovely card using the Best Plaid Builder Dies (Retiring 152720) and the Forever Fern Bundle (Retiring 154094).
Laying Circle Dies (151770) were used to highlight the sentiment. I just love the Pretty Peacock (Retiring), Night of Navy, and Just Jade together. How about you?

Each month we gather to stamp and share with each other and so today I thought I’d share some of the fun cards that my team members have created over the past 2 months. I can’t believe they got buried on my desk and I haven’t shared them with you before now.
These first 2 cards use the Country Home stamp set (147678) from the Annual Catalog that you can find on page 90. This first one uses the beautiful Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) to choose it’s color pallet.
And both these cards have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends which gives them that great bold rich, color.
And here is fun fold card using the Beautiful Autumn Stamp set () and lovely Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (153520).
This card uses the fun impossible fold to create a card that pops up but mails flat.
And one using our Stitched Leaves Dies (153567) that has been teamed up with the colorful Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) again.
I really like the way these dies have the stitched edging that can be used on negative images like this and on the positive images too.
A gratitude journal made with the lovely Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (152488) – done in 6×6 and filled with paper to fill. A page for each person to personalize or use it as a lovely book to use yourself.
This next project uses the Grace’s Garden stamp set (151513) and is a fun fold card.
That once again folds flat for mailing.
This next grouping of projects is for Christmas and I’ll continue with some more fun folds. First this easel card that uses the Sweetest Time Bundle (155169).
And last but not least Shirley shared some little wooden pumpkins she made using the technique we used during our Peak Princess Event. You can see more and the tutorial for that project about that HERE.
And how about some Christmas projects? This first card uses the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (153487) and teams it up with the beautiful Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper (152493)
And for a here is a fun fold teepee card using our Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper (150444) with it’s beautiful images.
Champagne foil Sheets (144748) were cut out using the Forever Flourishing Dies (152714) and were used as a backdrop for the sentiment. This card also folds flat for mailing simply by undoing the well placed velcro dot.
And now for some fun 3d projects – A cute little box that holds a couple of nuggets using the Little Treats stamp set (153516).
And fun tags using a variety of the holiday stamp sets found in the Annual and Holiday catalog. Can you name them all?
There are 4 different stamp sets used for these tags. Don’t look if you are still guessing but here is the list. Detailed Doves (153406), Christmas Gleaming (150464), Merry Moose (150494), and Perfectly Plaid (149418). Hand made tags for your packages make them extra special and are a lot of fun to make!
whew… what did I tell you, lots of great projects! I’m truly blessed with such a great team to share and stamp with.
