Recently, on the Facebook Demonstrator Planning Place, we had the opportunity to take have a virtual class called the PICK SIX WONDER CLASS. We learned how to use six 6″ x 6″ pieces of our beautiful Designer Series Papers to create 14 A2 cards. It was SO much fun! I used papers from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Papers. We actually created five different designs. Here are my cards:

Aren’t they fun? It was a blast using the coordinating colors and patterns in the Designer Series Papers in different ways!

Here is the PDF you will need in order to make these cards!

I have to admit it….I can’t afford everything — I WISH I could buy the entire Stampin’ Up! catalog, but alas….I cannot. SO — one thing I love to do is use Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Designer Specialty Papers to create cards. Take a look at these simple and beautiful sympathy cards made with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Specialty Papers! Here are two sympathy cards I made today:

See that beautiful watercoloring? THAT’S THE PAPER! I simply added a card base, and a coordinating panel of cardstock, and the paper does the rest. I love the soft and soothing shades of Merry Merlot, Misty Moonlight, and Cinnamon Cider. Here’s what the entire set of paper looks like. They’re stunning:

Do you see the one pattern I chose for my card? It’s right there, and all you have to do is cut it! And the best part? There is a Designer Series Paper Sale going on this month of July! Go HERE to see all the papers that are 15% off!

I used Cinnamon Cider for one card base, and Basic White for another Card base. The Misty Moonlight and Merry Merlot panels were cut at 5 1/4″ by 4″. Then I simply cut a panel of the DSP at 3 7/8″ by 5 1/8″. I adhered the two panels to the card base. The sentiment is from an older Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Heal Your Heart. I backed each sentiment panel with a little slice of coordinating cardstock, and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals after having attached a few rounds of linen thread to the back. The embellishments are from the Elegant Faceted Gems. All the products I used for this project can be found at the bottom of this post.

One of my favorite bundles from the new catalog is the Sweet as a Peach Bundle! Here’s a simple project I created!

I used two of the Scalloped Contours dies to make a layered background, using the sweet Peach papers. Aren’t they yummy?

This Peach bundle is so so cute — take a look at the stamps and coordinating dies:

I cut out a sentiment die from the Tasteful Labels dies, and stamped some small peaches and leaves on the label.

I popped the label up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals, and then finished off with a bow tied with the beautiful sheer 2021-23 In Color 3/8″ ribbon. The two gems are Genial Gems. Love them! And that’s it! Super easy and fresh! I hope you’ll give a serious look to The Sweet as a Peach Suite — it’s a MUST for summer, that’s for sure!!

Paper Pumpkin kits are a great way to get a CREATIVITY fix each month — either with a friend or family member, or just all by yourself with a nice cup of coffee or yes…other beverage of choice!

June’s Paper Pumpkin kit just arrived at my house, so I thought I’d show you what all the hubbub is about!

The “Expressions In Color” June Paper Pumpkin came in a special box — its focus is on the five new 2021-23 Stampin’ Up! In Colors! Doesn’t it make you want to open it?

The kit is always enclosed in tissue, and we always get a stamp set and a Stampin’ Spot. In fact, this time, we got TWO Spots — one in Bumblebee and one in Evening Evergreen.

The stamp sets are great, because I can always use them for other projects as well! The instructions are in full color, and are shrink wrapped with the entire kit. You can see that this kit will make nine cards! Six are the regular A2 sized, and three are notecard sized. Yay!

And when I opened the shrink wrap, I find ALL the ingredients I need to create these fun and beautiful cards, AND there are always some extra supplies left over!

Here are the three cards I created exactly as the instructions stated:

And here is am alternative design I did with some other ingredients. That’s the joy of Paper Pumpkin — you can make as instructed, or be creative and create your own designs! This card was inspired by Katie Brown with SeaBreeze Stamping with Katie. I used a card base of Fresh Freesia, and added to that a panel of Fresh Freesia Designer Series Paper. The gold accents are from the EXPRESSIONS IN INK EPHEMERA PACK, found in the new Stampin’ Up! annual catalog.

An added bonus? This Paper Pumpkin kit coordinates with a couple of new products from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog! The Expressions in Ink Suite Collection has a stamp set, beautiful dies, and, of course, more beautiful papers, along with some gold foil embellishment accents!

Embossing Folders give you a fast way to add texture and depth to your card, and the process is so easy!

Simply put your paper inside the folder and run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Embossing is relatively inexpensive and adds an extra element of tactile interest to your cards for extra interest!

The new Art in Bloom Hybrid embossing folder has a hybrid design that combines two steps into one, which takes embossing folders to a whole new level. You see, the co-ordinating dies actually fit inside the embossing folder so it can cut and emboss at the same time! You literally fit the three flower dies inside the embossing folder as you put it through your emboss and cut machine, and Boom! You have an embossed panel with die cuts.

Here’s what the bundle looks like:

Here’s another great sample from Stampin’ Up!

And finally, a beautiful sample created by an Artisan Designer at Stampin’ Up!

I finally got a chance to try out the beautiful products from the Expressions in Inks Suite Collection. Oooooooo la la! These papers! These stamps! I just love everything about this suite. Here’s my first card:

I got my inspiration from a post by Mary Deatherage from Stamps-n-Lingers. The measurements include:

Pale Papaya Cardstock: 5 1/2″ x 7 5/8″ (card base, scored and folded at 4 1/4″)

Evening Evergreen Cardstock:  3 1/8″ x 5 1/4″ (mat for card front); 5 1/4 X 3/4″ for front side panel.

Basic White Cardstock: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ (inner card panel)

Expression in Ink Specialty DSP: 3″ x 5 1/8″ (card front); 5 1/8″ by 5/8″ for side panel

These Designer Series Papers should be totally in the spotlight. The gold foil accents on the paper, added to the rich beautiful colors make these papers my favorites from the new catalog!

Can you see the gold foil elements? YUM!!

Once you have all the pieces cut, the card is easy to put together. I then added a diecut from the Scalloped Contours dies and stamped the sentiment from the bundle stamp set. LOVE it!

Have you noticed the brand new EXPRESSIONS IN INK EPHEMERA PACK? This embellishment pack is found in the same bundle, and I love the gold foil accents and beautiful sparkly sequins. I used these embellishments to finish off my card!

The gold baker’s thread is retired, but I used a little to add even more ‘bling.’ I hope you love this card, and this bundle as much as I do! All the products used in this project are found below — just click to start shopping!
