Silly Old Bear - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's Try A Sketch On Tuesday challenge. With this challenge I'm showing more sneak peeks of upcoming products.

I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock layer, where I added two strips of the 2026-28 In Color DSP before embossing with the 100 Acre Woods 3D Embossing Folder & layering it onto Cajun Craze Cardstock. Next, I die-cut an image from the Silly Old Bear DSP using the Sweet Words & Label Dies, along with a Cajun Craze Cardstock layer. These were then added to the previous layers using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set with Cajun Craze Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then using a single Stampin' Dimensional added it to the main layer, before attaching all layers to a Golden Glow Cardstock base. Finally, I added a few retiring Tiny Bee Trinkets with Glue Dots to finish the card.

SWEET OLD FRIENDS - T-I-DOUBLE GUH-ER

Hello Stampers,

Today is all about my favorite character & giving you a sneak peek to a new stamp set coming in May! I started going one way & then bounced my way in a different direction to end up making a shorter but longer slimline card, that will probably end up somewhere in my craft room. LOL!

To make my card I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, then used the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set to stamp Tigger all over the layer, then die-cut his name using Party Alphabet Dies. The background was then added to a Basic Black Cardstock base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached each letter using Stampin' Dimensionals back in the spot they were die-cut from which creates an eclipse look which is also what the technique is called.

 

I hope you have a lot of bounce in your step today!

Petals Of Beauty - You Make My Heart Smile

Hello Stampers,

I played around with a few last chance products & a few of the new In colors to make today's card, using a sketch I found online.

I started with Basic White Cardstock layer, stamping it with the Lasting Linen Stamp using Barely Blush Ink before layering it on a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock base. I took a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock cutting it to 3 squares- 2 small & 1 large, where I stamped the large & small flowers from the Petals of Beauty Stamp Set using Hydrangea Hue & Barely Brush Ink, then layered them on top of the same color cardstock. I attached the 2 smaller flowers directly to the background layer & the middle square was attached using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set, stamping with Hydrangea Hue Ink onto Hydrangea Hue Cardstock. I finished the card off using the 2026-28 In Color Dots in Barely Blush.

Easter Basket - Happy Easter

Hello Stampers,

I don't tend to either make or send a lot of Easter cards, but I thought this set was too cute to pass up & could be used for other occasions. An old Creativate tutorial inspired today's card.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock layer, then used the Simply Scored Score Tool to score two lines on all sides. Next, I used the Easter Basket Bundle to stamp with Pecan Pie Ink & die-cut the basket & all the items in it using Basic White, Pecan Pie & Shy Shamrock Cardstocks. I used the Pretty In Pink & Shy Shamrock Stampin' Blends Combo Packs to color in the eggs & bunny. For the sentiment, I used both the Shy Shamrock Ink & Cardstock, then fussy cut the banner ends. The focal point was then layered with Pretty In Pink Cardstock & added to a Shy Shamrock Cardstock base.

In Colors 2026-2028 - You Make Me Smile

Hello Stampers,

In the last week I have seen several cards just like the one I made & thought it was a sign to finally make this card that I thought about doing in the past.

I started with a layer of Basic White Cardstock & with a pencil I drew a wavy line before using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to follow the wave & emboss every 1/8". Then I used the Fragrant Layer Dies to punch out little flowers using the new In Colors - Golden Glow, Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue, & Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstocks. I used a retired stamp set to stamp onto the Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock with the Peaceful Pine Ink Pad then fussy cut them out. I used the Nature's Symphony Stamp Set for the sentiment stamping it also with Peaceful Pine Ink. Once I was done with this layer I attached it to a layer of Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock, then to a Basic White Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.

Notes Of Spring - Happiest Birthday Wishes

Hello Stampers,

I was late in ordering this month's Product of the Month, as I was waiting to order during the pre-order timeframe. So I thought I would make a quick card with it.

I started the card with a Crumb Cake Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Lovely Blossoms DSP. For the strip, I had to go deep into my retired stash to find an embossing folder that I thought would go well with the card & chose the Basket Weave Embossing Folder with Basic White Cardstock. For the focal point, I used Basic White Cardstock. then stamped the bunny using Crumb Cake Ink, masked it using the Masking Paper then used a Small Blending Brush to add Old Olive Ink & the little grass stamp also with the ink but stamped off once. The focal point was then added to a layer of Crumb Cake Cardstock & popped up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used a sentiment from the set & added it to the DSP layer using Crumb Cake Ink. Lastly, I used a few Pearls Of Beauty in Crumb Cake to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Here's To You!

Hello Stampers,

I'm still not done showing off Pretty In Pink I guess, but maybe I should give a little love to the other outgoing In Colors at some point. EEK! Today's card was inspired by a memory in FB land of a card I made 3 years ago, so I decided to make a similar card using what I called a Block Grid Technique,

I started with a square piece of Basic White Cardstock & selected the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set to stamp the outlined stamp with Melon Mambo Ink & the solid in Pretty In Pink Ink. Next, I started to cut the square apart using different sizes & directions, then used a Sponge Dauber with Pretty In Pink Ink to go around all the edges up to the stamp parts. Once I was done, I glued all the pieces down on a layer of Melon Mambo Cardstock, side by side like it would look if I hadn't cut it into lots of pieces. Next, I embossed a piece of Pretty In Pink Cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder & attaching it to a Basic White Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, stamping it with Melon Mambo Ink, punching it out using the 3 Banner Punch also using the Sponge Dauber to add some Pretty In Pink to all sides as I did with the focal image & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few retired Basic Pearls to finish off the card.
