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!
I have been having so much fun with the Rose Wonder Stamp Set and coordinating Rose Garden Framelits (Bundle & Save 15%)! I really wanted to make a card like this with Blushing Bride and Gold and after assembling it, I thought it needed some lace for that rustic look. It really isn’t my style but I do like how it turned out!!
I started with a Blushing Bride card base. I stamped the Watercolor Wash Stamp Set in Blushing Bride onto Very Vanilla Cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. I adhered this piece to the card front. Using the Rose Die from the Rose Garden Framelits, I die cut Gold Foil Paper. I love using the Die Brush to pop out all of those little pieces. It works like a little miracle!!!! I adhered the rose to the card front with the Fine Tip Glue Pen! To finish it off, I added some Venetian Crochet Trim in a knot around the card. For the greeting, I used the Rose Wonder Stamp Set. I punched it out with the Large Oval Punch and layered it onto a Scallop Oval in Blushing Bride! I added the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals! 🙂

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!

As many of you may know, I do wedding stationary as well as my Stampin’ Up business! You can check out some of my work here – Weddings.LaurasStampPad.com. I always forget to share some of my work on here but thought I would today. This is one of my favorites because you all know I love Bermuda Bay! Plus the colors and elegance are just amazing!!!
For this invitation, I created a belly band with Gold Glimmer Paper and added some Whisper White Organza Ribbon over top. I used the Elegant Eggplant Re-Inker to dye the ribbon. When you have white ribbon and re-inkers, you have every color you ever wanted!!! TIP: Hot glue works best for adhering Glimmer Paper together since it is so chunky, most other glues don’t work well. I added the Monogram letter in the middle and punched it out with the Artisan Label Punch which was one of my favorites. It retired last year. 🙁 You could always use your favorite punch – circle, oval, scallop circle, Decorative Label Punch, or even Framelits! For the invitation base, I used Bermuda Bay and Elegant Eggplant. I even embossed the Elegant Eggplant flap with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder to add a little texture! The feather on the inside was printed on a color printer but if you prefer a stamped image, the Perfect Peacock Stamp Set would be perfect!
I really enjoy working with Brides to make their wedding day that much more special. I just love WEDDINGS!!!! Let me know in the comments below if you would like to see more of my wedding stationary posted on here!
The You’re So Lovely Project Kit in the Occasions Mini Catalog peaked my interest the moment I laid eyes on it. The little foam roller just looked like so much fun…..and the diamonds!!! 🙂 I got the kit and opened it up with all of you. Check that out here! I was a little confused/worried about the foam roller and thinking how is that going to press into the template enough to make a mark. Well let me tell you I found out right away and there was nothing to worry about. I had so much fun rolling all afternoon, I couldn’t stop myself. It was super easy and the ink showed up perfectly with minimal pressure. I was so impressed! I loved it!
Look at me going to town. You can see that the top portion has been rolled over the bottom hasn’t. The whole thing looks pink because I had done several of them. Another fabulous point, the foam roller hardly has any ink on it at all. It’s not all squishy and dripping (I’m a press dark, go dark type of person) and messy. You could probably touch it and it wouldn’t even barely leave ink on you. Once you are done with the templates, you can rinse them off or clean them with a baby wipe.
Speaking of template, I have a BIG TIP for you. Using a Sharpie Marker, write this side up or Front on your templates so that all of the die-cut images fit correctly. In the card below, the star is off-set because I did it with the template backwards so the die-cut star didn’t fit perfectly.
I loved the star image on the gold foil star card front. All of the supplies on these cards are from the kit!!! I did get the coordinating You’re So Lovely Stamp Set for all the greetings and that banner outline! Also, I decided I liked the black chalkboard banners better than the kraft ones. I thought the kraft ones looked too rustic for the gold foil and star bling. There are enough of both to do all of the cards so it wasn’t a problem at all!
Oh how I loved the butterflies and just couldn’t decide which color I liked best. I squealed with excitement at the placement of the Gold Dots down the center of the butterfly. Love it!!!!
Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend!!! I started with the diamond and was having so much fun, I couldn’t stop. Then I realized I needed to play with the others as well. I did the full template with the far left, then I did the reverse template with the next one and for the far right, I laid the die-cut image down and wheeled over it. Wait till you see the treat bag with the Watermelon Wonder Diamond on it! Eeeeee So much fun!!!
I played with these circles so much that I totally forgot about the wreath die-cut. I tell you that I had so much fun with this kit, I didn’t even know what I was doing.
Look at all of these leftover pieces. There are tons of the wreaths since I didn’t use them. The image in far bottom right is the center of the wreath that looks like a Disk Blade. With my family being farmers, I thought I might be able to use them for a Man Card!
Here are a few of the treat bags. The kit creates 12 cards and 12 treat bags with tags! I really enjoyed this kit and can’t wait to use the templates and foam roller for many more projects! I hope you enjoyed all of these pictures. I’m telling you this is a fabulous kit and always remember that YOU’RE SO LOVELY!!!
The Memories In The Making Project Life Card Collection is one of the items that you can earn for FREE through Sale-A-Bration!!! I thought the cards were super fabulous because many of them are window sheets with frames and borders and amazing designs. There are a few that are gold on one side and silver on the other. WOOT WOOT! I love how there is something for everyone there. The other pieces have embossed prints on them so you can have fun and add color for an emboss resist technique. Love it!!!
The card above uses one of the embossed patterns and I brushed over it with an Elegant Eggplant Sponge Dauber to give it some color. Since the card is 4″ x 6″, I had to cut it down a bit (4″ x 5-1/4″). I added some Whisper White Cotton Ribbon. For the greeting, I used the Big News Stamp Set. I layered it onto Elegant Eggplant and added it to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I thought it needed a little bling so I added some Dazzling Details to all of the little dots in the scroll. 🙂
I didn’t want to waste that little strip that I cut off so I created this card. I took another Memories In The Making Card, stamped the greeting from the Tin Of Cards Stamp Set in Stazon Ink and added it to my card front once it dried. Be very careful when stamping on Window Sheet as it can be slick and want to slide all over. Straight up and down! This is one of those cards that the dotted wreath is gold on the back side. I’m a silver girl though! 🙂 Since you can see adhesive on Window Sheet, I just added it to the left hand side where the patterned paper is. It is held securely with Tear & Tape so I don’t have to worry about it coming off!
I wanted to do another one so I took another Card from the Collection that was embossed stripes. I used my Sponge Daubers to add color in this amazing ombre pattern. I used Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, and Night of Navy. I loved how it turned out. I wrapped some Silver Metallic Thread around a few (hundred) times on the left hand side and tied a knot. I added it to a Bermuda Bay card base and did the awesome greeting again from the Big News Stamp Set. Perfect Man Card!!!
Then with the little strip that I had to cut off, I created this card. Again I took one of the Window Sheet Cards and stamped in Craft White Ink with the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I adhered it on with Tear & Tape under the strip of ombre! I love how these turned out!
You can use Project Life Card Collections for greeting cards and memory keeping. They are so much fun and so versatile. You can check out a few of my Project Life Album Pages here!

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!
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!

So I showed you a quick and simple version of this card here! Today I’m going to show you the stepped up version!!! Glitter always steps up a card!!! LOVE IT!
I started with a Pool Party card base. I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 3-3/4″ x 5″ and stamped the greeting from the Botanicals For You Sale-A-Bration Promotion in Basic Black. You can earn this stamp set for free with a $50 order. The flowers are from the same set and I stamped them in Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz. I would like to say I randomly stamped but I’m not the best at that. I have a tendency to think it needs one more over there and then maybe there and eventually I have stamped WAY TOO MANY. So my only advice is to stop early and if you think it might need one more, don’t do it! 🙂 I adhered this piece to the card front and added some of the New Pool Party Glitter Ribbon. This ribbon is super fun to add to a card and it ties really well, not chunky like some glitter ribbons. Also, I thought I would add a little foo foo to the inside to make it even cuter!
Check out those little flowers in the lower right and upper left corners! I just love flower stamps because you can do it in any color possible. What color would you use for this card? Let me know in the comments below!
