Beautiful Bokeh Thanking You Card Tutorial

It seems like everyone is having babies right now in my daughters circle of friends and so I thought I’d whip up some soft thank you cards as part of their baby shower gift for them so I whipped up this card using the Thanking You stamp set (163718) and the positioning tool that you can get for free in the current promotion for our Starter Kit.

The Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (164607) is filled with wonderful colors that are soft and perfect for this kind of project since it contains 8 sheets of each pattern.

Check out today’s card that I made to share with you.

So what do you think? Do you like soft colors like this too? I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial for you and video too so you can make some too! Why not take a few minutes and check it out?

The Stampin’ Positioner makes this card really easy and I created multiple sets as gifts quickly since I didn’t have to be concerned with the position of the stamp or amount of coverage each time. Just ink it up and stamp. Don’t you love tools that make things easier?

Throw Back Thursday with Healing Hugs

Recently I found some cards that I haven’t shared with you on my desk so today I’m beginning to share a series of tutorials I’ll be calling Throw Back Thursday since they highlight something you might already have in your craft supplies. They also include new products found in my Online Store.

One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is their product coordination and these project will show you just how easy it is to coordinate the old with the new.

Since it’s that time of year I thought I’d stare with the Healing & Hugs stamp set since we all have someone we know who might be feeling under the weather during cold and flu season.

This set contains cute little animals so it was one I definitely wanted to add to my collection. I’ve teamed it up with our fun Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301) and used one of my favorite colors, Coastal Cabana.

Thoughtful Journey Torn Edge Card

It’s that time of year to look back at 2025 and say goodbye. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things was listening to the countdown on the radio of the years hits. Now I watch the year in review on the news – It reminds me of many things I’ve already forgotten as the year seems to fly by.

So this week I thought I’d share a look back with you, some “silver & gold” from my craft room – this childhood song is about making friends. I’ve always like the meaning of the friendship song of making new friends and keeping the old – “some are silver and the others gold”. How about you?

Today’s card uses a quick and easy torn edge technique and since the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) is beautiful landscape designs it’s perfect for this card.

I’ve teamed this paper up with the retired Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set and Dies which are retired. You might already have this on your shelves, if not you can use another sentiment set that you love.

Here is my video tutorial and PDF for you – the PDF includes a complete supply list and measurements.

Silly Safari Go Wild Card Tutorial

My daughter loves the zoo and always has. When traveling she tries to visit the local zoo or one on the way to her destination. So when I saw the Silly Safari Bundle (165260) in the 2025 Annual Catalog I just knew it was one I had to have!

So for today’s card I’ve used one of my Card Sketches and the sweet little leopard image.

I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends to color him so that I’ve got a bold cheerful look as I teamed up the image with one of the NEW patterns found in the Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301).

Here is a quick video tutorial showing how I created this card along with the PDF which contains a complete supply list, link, measurements and more.
