It is always good to have some quick and simple card ideas for this style of card! You can whip this card up in no time at all. I started with a Lost Lagoon card base. Then I layered some Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″) from Sale-A-Bration onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss (4″ x 5-1/4″). That small bit of Blackberry Bliss is just enough to make it pop! I love it! I tied some Calypso Coral Seam Binding around this piece and then added it to the card front! For the greeting, I used the Rose Wonder Stamp Set which has some of the best greetings ever! I love that set! I punched it out with the 2″ Circle Punch and layered it onto a Blackberry Bliss 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle! I attached the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
This card style could be used for many different occasions. You could make up lots of them and leave the greeting off to stamp as you need them!
Happy Tuesday!!! You all know what that means!!!! I have a fabulous…and adorable…technique to share with you today!!! This little Easter Lamb is just precious!!! When I first saw him in the Occasions Mini Catalog, I knew I had to have him! My favorite holiday is Easter so that is perfect. Plus I thought you could omit the Easter greeting and use it for Baby, Baptism, and Children’s Birthday Cards!!! He’s just so cute!!!
See what I mean??? I love it!!! Let’s get started!
I started off by stamping the Easter Lamb Stamp in Archival Basic Black onto Whisper White cardstock. You will want to use this ink or Stazon Black Ink because these won’t run when you are coloring. Then I took the Blender Pens and little touched them into the ink to color in the scene! I used Pear Pizzazz for the grass. I used Blushing Bride for the ears and cheeks. I used Chocolate Chip for the hooves. I used Pool Party for the background. I will say it was all really easy and fun except for the background. I really struggled with that on each one because it came out different each time. You really need a light touch and be okay with random streaks. 🙂
I really like how this one turned out and I think I like the grass colors just on the sprigs and not all filled in. They are both super cute though. I layered the lamb onto Pool Party cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. I added a small piece of Whisper White Seam Binding and just added dimensionals on top to hold it in place. I placed this onto a piece of So Saffron. I did use some of the Sale-A-Bration Artistically Yours Designer Series Paper but there wasn’t enough to make multiples. I put it all onto a Whisper White card base!

The more I look at this card, the more I love it! This card is perfect to have on hand for those random occasions that you might not have a greeting for like Confirmation, Baptism, getting a Promotion, the Anniversary of something special. This card could also be used for the occasions we are all familiar with as well like wedding, and birthday. Everyone needs to know that they are special and mean the world to someone because it’s so very true! I feel like I need to go make 10 more of this card now! I love it!!!
I started with a Crumb Cake card base. I took a piece of the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper measuring 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ and layered it onto Rose Red measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. Sometimes that smaller little border makes the greatest look on a card. I’m don’t typically like to cut in anything besides 1/4″ and 1/2″ but every once in a while it just needs it! 🙂 I layered this onto the card front and started on the greeting. I stamped the greeting from the Botanicals For You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set in Rose Red onto Whisper White cardstock and punched the banner tips with the Banner Triple Punch. I layered it onto a piece of Garden Green and added it to the card. I wanted a little something to pop out and add texture so I punched out some hearts with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch. I adhered the hearts with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You could always change up the accents to be stars or flowers or just a few pearls or rhinestones. It’s all up to you!
Don’t forget that your leftover pieces of the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper can be used a for a quilt card! You can check out how to do that here! Love it!
I’m not a huge hot tea drinker or coffee drinker (although I love the smell of it) but I do know that a warm cup of tea screams cozy and warm! This card makes me think of warm, cozy, loving feelings and that is sure to make you smile! 🙂 This one was fun to make and give since it was for my Mom’s Birthday last month!!!
For this card, I started with a Whisper White card base. I used the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper for the tea pot! I cut out the mug, tea pot, heart shaped steam and tea bag using the Cups & Kettle Framelits. I stamped on the cup and stamped the tea bag (prior to die cutting it) with the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set (Bundle & Save 15%) On the mug, I stamped the heart in Basic Gray. The tea bag was also stamped in Basic Gray. I placed one end of the Linen Thread behind the tea bag and added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back to hold it on. I placed the other end of the thread on the back of the mug and added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back to hold it in place. I added a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the mug and attached it to the card front! I adhered the steam with the Fine Tip Glue Pen! This is the perfect adhesive for those small intricate pieces!!! Love it! For the greeting, I used the Botanicals for You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set!
This is the inside with some hearts and then I inked up the greeting with a Basic Gray Marker so I could omit the “and” on the stamp. I wanted it to say “heart/love” spending time with you but the stamp coordinates with another stamp and says “and.” No problem here since I just omitted it! Love that!
You can check out a full video on the Cups & Kettle Framelits here and see another sample using it here! I can’t wait to use this for Mother’s Day and many other fabulous occasions!!!
The Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper is so beautiful! The flowers, the simple patterns, the colors all are so perfect for so many occasions!!! Love it!!!
I started with a Rose Red card base. I cut a piece of the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper measuring 2″ and 5-1/2″. I layered it onto a piece of Garden Green measuring 2-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. I cut a Tea Lace Doily in half and placed it on the right hand side, tucking the end under the strip of Designer Series Paper. The greeting is from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set in Rose Red. PS: You NEED this stamp set. It has the perfect greetings for every occasion and the font is beautiful. Bonus, it has flowers in it as well! Perfect!!! I punched the greeting out with a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch and layered it onto a Blushing Bride 2″ Circle Punch. Then I layered both of those onto a Rose Red 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle! I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals….of course! 🙂 You can see more samples using this Designer Series Paper here!
This card would work well for Valentine’s Day (13 days away), Birthday or Sympathy! Which greeting would you use? Let me know in the comments below!
Based on the title, you might think this is a post about my marriage but it’s not! 🙂 Hehe <3 Although I do think our marriage was made in heaven and blessed by God! Instead, this post is all about this fabulous Wedding or Anniversary card! You could change up the greeting and make it into a Valentine’s Day card as well!!
I used a Blushing Bride card base and a piece of Whisper White measuring 3-3/4″ x 5″! I took a few different patterns from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack in the Occasions Mini Catalog and cut them into stripes measuring 2″, 1-1/2″ and 1″! I then used then Banner Triple Punch to add the beautiful banner tips! Then I staggered them along the piece of Whisper White. I stamped the greeting from the Blessed By God Stamp Set in Rose Red in the lower right corner. I thought it needed a little something towards the top so I wrapped some Gold Metallic Thread around the Whisper White a few times and then tied it into a knot. This adds a little shine and texture! To finish it off, I added a few sequins from the Metallics Sequins Assortment which has circles, hearts and stars. The hearts were perfect for this card! I adhered the sequins with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. You can check out a tutorial on that here!
A card style like this is great to use up scraps of your Designer Series Paper and you could use this template for any card type. Have you tried this style yet?? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means…..I have a fabulous technique to share with you today! Today it’s all about the Curvy Corner Trio Punch. Some tips and ideas on how to use this punch and the fun you can have with it!
How beautiful and simple is that card? I love how those decorative corners allow more of the Calypso Coral to show through. It really stands out so much more! If you would like to see a sample using the other corner, click here! Let’s get started!
I started with a Calypso Coral card base. I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and punched all 4 corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and then added it to the card front. Using a piece of the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″) from the Sale-A-Bration Promotion, I placed that down the center. For the greeting, I used a piece of Whisper White (2-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ and stamped the greeting from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set in Basic Black. Oh how I love the greetings in this set! Then I took one of the flowers from the Flowering Fields Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set and stamped it in the background in Calypso Coral. I stamped a few times before going back to the ink to give a lighter look and those various shades. I layered this piece onto Basic Black measuring 2-3/4″ x 1-3/4″. I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I love it!

This card is perfect for so many different occasions! I love all the layers and textures with the ribbon, embossing, Designer Series Paper, and punched greeting. Also, I look thinking out of the box on ways to use your embossing folder. I used the Confetti Embossing Folder from the Occasions Mini Catalog! It is a border folder with an oval in the center but don’t let that hold you back. I slide this piece of cardstock in diagonal on the end of the folder. How fabulous is that?
I started with a Melon Mambo card base. I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. I slide the end of the white paper into the Confetti Embossing Folder at an angle. Slide it in just to the point that hits the flat oval spot. You could do it straight across or diagonal. You could even do the top and bottom. I added some of the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper which I am in love with right now! The colors are so fabulous and it’s a 12″ x 12″ Stack! Woot Woot! Then I wrapped some of the Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine around the card twice and tied it into a bow. With Baker’s Twine, I always double knot it tight before tying the bow. I added this piece to the card front and then started on the greeting. I stamped the greeting from the Party Wishes Stamp Set in Melon Mambo onto a piece of scrap Whisper White. I punched it out with the 1″ Circle Punch. Then I stamped the greeting again in Basic Black onto another scrap piece of white. I cut out the WISH card and added little banners to the ends. I used some of the Stampin’ Dimensional border to the back of “Wish” and placed it on top of the Melon Mambo Wish. Then I punched out some Basic Black with the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch and layered it. I added the greeting to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Love it!!!

Let’s get started on this fabulous card! I used a Whisper White card base and adhered a piece of Bermuda Bay measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ onto the front. I cut a piece of the A Nice Cuppa Designer Series Paper into a 2″ x 5-1/4″ strip and added that to the card front. Using the Deco Labels Framelits, I die cut Whisper White cardstock for the focal point! The little mug was die cut in Bermuda Bay with the Cups and Kettle Framelits. The heart steam was die cut in Melon Mambo. I stamped the heart from the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay onto the mug and the greeting in Tip Top Taupe over top! Also, I stamped the tea bag in Tip Top Taupe onto Tip Top Taupe cardstock. Then I die cut that out as well. I placed the end of the Linen Thread on the back of the tea bag and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional over the end. The other end of the Linen Thread is placed behind the cup. I adhered the mug to the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals also. The little steam was adhered with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I love it!!! This card is perfect for just about anyone – those who love coffee, tea, or any other beverage in a mug. It would be perfect for someone who is sick and needs a little pick-me-up or just a little note to brighten anyone’s day!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so now is the time to start working on those sweet cards and goodie bags! I love Valentine’s Day because it is a day that I can share my love for everyone. I like to do it all year long but this day is even more special! This card is quick and simple and fairly gender neutral.
I started with a Whisper White card base and added a strip of Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper! The Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack is perfect for Valentine’s Day but it also has lots of great prints for all occasion cards too! I added some Silver Baker’s Twine along the top and tied in a bow! For the greeting, I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Rose Red. I punched out the greeting with the Word Window Punch and layered it onto a Washi Label Punch from Blushing Bride cardstock. I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Simple and fabulous! I love it!
