Today I’m sharing another card I made using the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Sunflowers Dies) and the PPPST (Paper Piecing Press n Seal Technique.) A couple people have said the flower looks like it’s crocheted.
I think I’m sort of addicted to this technique. I mean I just can’t stop using it. Today’s card is similar to another one I made recently using the PPPST. You can see that card here.
Be sure to check back tomorrow to see the card I made using the leftovers from today’s card!

Today’s project is a birthday card I made using the Jar of Flowers Bundle (Jar of Flowers stamp set and Jar Punch) and the Many Mates stamp set (available in a bundle with the Many Medallions Dies.) Once I had made the card, I realized I could have used it for the 4th of July blog hop a couple days ago. You can see the card I made for it here. I guess I got my patriotic card mojo a couple days too late.
I also used the new In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, which is full of amazing designs including carpet, tile, wood, etc. These papers are so incredibly versatile, they make this a must have pack of DSP for everyone. And check out the new 3/8″ Denim Ribbon. If that’s isn’t pure Americana, I don’t know what it.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global June 2020 Blog Hop! This month we’re featuring new products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle (Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set & Sunflowers Dies) as well as a few of the new 2020-2022 In Colors (Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, and Just Jade.) I used Press n Seal plastic wrap to keep all the little pieces of the die cuts in the right place. I’ve used this technique several times in the last couple weeks. I printed the photo in sepia so it would match the yellow/brown feel of the page.

Welcome to the 06-2020 IRBH! This month we are featuring projects with a 4th of July theme. When you first look at my card, you may wonder what it has to do with America’s Independence Day holiday, other than the obvious sentiment. It’s purple instead of red, white, and blue – wait, what?
I started to make a more traditionally hued card, I really did, but I just couldn’t find my mojo. I started looking through my stamp sets for inspiration and realized I was humming “America the Beautiful.” Just when I got to the line “purple mountain majesties” my eyes fell upon the Mountain Air stamp set. Light bulb! So I used the Mountain Air stamp set to create a scene of purple mountains, along with a purple lake and a purple sky. I imagined one of those sunsets with vibrant purple at the bottom (you know the ones I’m talking about, right?) that casts its purple glow on everything for a brief moment.
Be sure to visit all the stops on the hop! You don’t want to miss any of the great projects this group has to share!

inked up just the bottom (water) part of the tree/water stamp with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamped below the original water stamp
Stamped with the Make a Difference stamp set:
“Happy 4th” in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the strip of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using the Timeless Label Punch:
both ends of the sentiment – I inserted each end down into the back of the punch to cut.
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder

Inspired by a trip to Pikes Peak in 1893, Katherine Lee Bates (1859-1929) wrote the poem America the Beautiful, which first appeared in print on July 4, 1895 in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal. Ms. Bates revised the lyrics in 1904 and again in 1913. It has 8 verses! Click here to download it.

Have you seen the new Beginner Brochure from Stampin’ Up!? Even seasoned stampers will love these new products – some are in the Annual Catalog and some are exclusive to the Beginner Brochure. Today I used the items on page 5 of the brochure to create 10 cards with envelopes. Click here to see Stampin’ Up!’s video on this amazing kit. Talk about #simplestamping! They’re just stamps, ink, and paper. Of course, you can add items to them to make them even more spectacular, like embellishments, ribbons, Stampin’ Dimensionals, other ink colors, etc.
You can get everything I used (except the Bone Folder) using Item # 155422, or you can purchase them separately. You can see all the product options near the bottom of this post.

When a piece of card stock is scored, on one side there is a valley (where the paper in indented) and on the other side there is a mountain (where the paper sticks up.) For best results, fold the card so the valley is on the outside and the mountain is on the inside. Burnish the fold with a Bone Folder for a nice crisp fold. When you open the card, you will see a bead down the fold on the inside. This may seem counterintuitive, but you will get way fewer “paper hairs” and rips if you do it this way.

Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Four Season Floral stamp set:
various sentiments and flowers in Magenta Madness and Just Jade inks onto the layer cards included in the Flowers for Every Season Cards & More
various flowers in Magenta Madness and Just Jade inks onto the fronts or the back flaps of the envelopes
Assembled the card:
burnished the folds in the card bases with a Bone Folder
stamped layer cards glued onto the fronts of the card bases
That’s it!
