Delightful Double Z-Fold Floral Card

I combined several products to create this beautiful spring card. The flower, from the Art Gallery stamp set, is stamped in Fresh Freesia and Mint Macaron, then die cut. The sentiment is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set, and the DSP is from the Fancy Flora suite. The fresh freesia dots are from the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems. I love how they look together on the Daffodil Delight card base!

I love impressionist paintings, and this paper reminds me of that style. Isn’t is gorgeous?!? I love it so much. I am looking forward to making many more beautiful cards with this paper!

Here is the video that shows how to make this fun fold card!

Nothing’s Better Than…Cocktails!

This is one of my FAVORITE sets because it is fun AND so versatile! You can choose from cocktails, chocolate, coffee, and/or cookies and the sentiments are GREAT! I posted a cookies card and a coffee card using this set earlier this year.

This stamp set and matching dies are on page 20 of the 2022 Annual Catalog.

I love that there are stamps to fill in the colors of the cookies, cocktail glass, coffee cup, and chocolates, but for this card, I decided to color the cocktail glasses. I used Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Melon Mambo. These alcohol markers are great for blending because you get a light shade and a dark shade. I used a Copic marker in a really light blue-green (BG10) for the glass itself. The card base is Melon Mambo, and the background paper is an hombre Granny Apple Green designer series paper that is now retired. There is a stamp for the word Cocktails, but I decided to die cut the word out of Melon Mambo cardstock. Using Stampin’ Up’s adhesive sheets to cut out “cocktails” was great because it is so hard to put adhesive on words and not make a mess! The adhesive sheets turn your die cuts into stickers.

Here is another take on this card using coffee as the theme. The card base and designer paper are Really Rust, a retired color. The top die is also retired, but the bottom die is from the new Stylish Shapes Dies. I LOVE the stitched look.

Rainbow of Happiness Inspirational Card with Bold Colors!

This card is created with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle (stamp set and dies) available in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. The colors are Basic White, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Poppy Parade.

First, die cut the white cardstock with the rainbow and edge dies. Then, use the rainbow die to cut the arcs. Adhere the white die-cut cardstock to the Pacific Point card base. The colorful arcs will then fit right in.

Stamp the sentiment on white, then die cut. Use the same die to cut the small arches from each of the colors of the rainbow. I wanted it to have some dimension, so I cut an extra shape that I used for the sentiment in Pacific Point. I glued the white piece and rainbow arches to it and mounted it to the card with Stampin Dimensionals. Finally, Daffodil Delight glossy dots finish it perfectly!

You can also make a rainbow shaker card!
