Today’s card could not be easier! I used the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. That’s it! And just look at how pretty it is! The colors are just lovely. And that matching envelope is divine. Now of course, you could dress it up with ribbon, embellishments, etc., but the thing is, you don’t have to.

Today I’m sharing the cards I made using the Simply Citrus Card Kit. This kit is perfect for beginner stampers! It’s an all-inclusive kit, meaning it has everything you need to make the cards (except scissors to cut the twine.) You get the card bases, envelopes, die cut labels and images, stamp set, clear block, ink pad, embellishments, twine, adhesives, and a sweet box to hold it all. A lot of people could use a little sunshine these days. These 15 colorful and fun cards will help you send it to them.

Welcome to the August 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is New Beginnings, so we’re featuring projects celebrating new job, new marriage, new school year, etc. I used the Senior Years stamp set to make a happy retirement card and gift box. You may think of retirement as the end of a career, but I think of it as the beginning of a new life without the day to day worries of a job. I used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder to echo the plaid pants the man is wearing. When I think of a retired man, the first thing that pops into my head is a man wearing mismatched patterns to play golf. And this guy seems very happy with his wardrobe choice, from the Pumpkin Pie vest to the Blackberry Bliss plaid pants.

Aug 11, 2020 | Autumn, Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery |
Welcome to the August 2020 ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Punch Me Out, and we’re featuring Stampin’ Up!’s amazing punches. I used the Autumn Punch Pack and coordinating Beautiful Autumn stamp set for my project today, as well as the Pinewood Plank 3D Embossing Folder. The embossing folder creates the background for the wreath, which is one color (white) but made of two different leaf types. To make sure the wreath turned out round, I drew a circle on the background layer by tracing a Gold Hoop Embellishment with a pencil, and glued the leaves around that.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the projects from this great group of stampers!

Welcome to the August 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Birthday. I used the Whiskey Business stamp set, the Tasteful Labels Dies, and In Good Taste Designer Series paper to create my card. The main colors are browns, yellows, and white. I added a few Real Red touches because the person I made this card for really likes red. If you don’t want the red, you can leave the Star Designer Elements copper, and use Early Espresso ink on the inside of the card.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the great projects this talented group has for you! The amazing Lisa Ann Bernard of Queen B Creations is joining us, and I’m sure she has made something wonderful to share.

Today I’m sharing the Prized Peony cards I made for the July Candy Hearts team swap. The theme was sympathy. None of us really enjoy making these, but it’s best to make them when you don’t need them, and have them on hand for when you do. I used the Prized Peony Bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.

Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Gray Granite card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Prized Peony stamp set:
- large peony image in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
- sentiment in Gray Granite CS onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Cut using the Peony Dies:
Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:
- scrap of Gray Granite CS using a scalloped stitched rectangle die
- sentiment using a smaller scalloped stitched rectangle die
- NOTE: The dies are longer than the finished pieces. I cut each one with a die that was the width I wanted. I lined up one end of the die around the sentiment and cut it, then moved the die to cut the other end, lining up the die along the scallops. I used that as a guide for where to cut the mat piece.
Colored using Stampin’ Blends:
- flower and bud in Light Petal Pink
- leaves and stems in light Soft Sea Foam
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
- sentiment glued onto the Gray Granite CS die cut
- Gray Granite CS die cut glued onto the DSP layer
- peony glued onto the DSP layer, overlapping the sentiment
- 3 Frosted Epoxy Droplets applied, 1 onto the sentiment and 2 onto the DSP layer – I find the easiest way to transfer the dots from the plastic sheet to where I want it on the card is to use the Paper Piercing Tip (pokey tool) of my Take Your Pick Tool
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
