Petunia Birthday
For my card today, I attached a piece of Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In-Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the large floral image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Shy Shamrock and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends before attaching the panel to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set onto a narrow strip of Basic White card. I attached a piece of Petunia Pop card behind the greeting before attaching it across the bottom of the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Petunia Pop ink.
I stamped the butterfly from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set beside the greeting using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends and attached a narrow strip of Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the panel. You may remember seeing other in-colour versions previously. I think they all turned out quite lovely. If you want the details you can see the Peach Pie version here and the Pretty in Pink version here.

Bokeh Birthday
Today I have another card to share created using the Beautiful Bokeh Suite. I cut my card base from Thick Basic White and trimmed down the front panel. I attached a piece of paper from the Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to the card front. I attached another strip of the same pattern Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper to the right hand side of a panel of Basic White card. I stamped the greeting from the So Sincere stamp set onto the Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink before attaching the panel to the inside of the card base.
I cut the solid butterfly from Balmy Blue card using the die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I cut the detailed butterfly and the butterfly body from the same pattern of Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper using the die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I attached the detailed butterfly and the butterfly body to the solid butterfly image. I cut a circle from Basic White card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used a bone folder to curl the butterfly wings slightly. I attached the butterfly to the Basic White circle using dimensionals under the wings and Tombow Multipurpose glue underneath the body. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set onto Basic White card and cut it out using the banner from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. The greeting is attached across the butterfly using dimensionals. The whole Basic White circle is attached to the card front. So pretty, don’t you think?

South Mission Beach
Today’s pages us Layout One from the Everyday You & Me Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. I cut all my papers and attached them to the pages as per the instructions when I first got the kit so that they would be ready when I found photos I wanted to scrapbook. My photos come from our first stop ever at South Mission Beach and we have never been able to bypass this lovely spot ever since.
I created my own title by cutting Basic White card and drawing a frame around the edges using a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker. I cut the title from Pecan Pie card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. I changed some of the embellishments (but not many) and printed my journaling onto the sticker as I am not a fan of my handwriting.
I love how easy it makes putting a page together to have the Designer Series Paper cut and ready to go. It’s worth noting that you get more stickers and die cuts than you need so you have plenty of options when you are creating. If you haven’t tried one of the workshop kits and you love scrapbooking then you are really missing out. If you prefer to create your own pages, you can purchase the Designer Series Paper & Skickers as a set or just the Designer Series Paper.

Congratulations
I created my card today for my daughter & son-in-law who recently celebrated their wedding anniversary. I followed a video I found online here which showed how to create this tri-fold card. I cut the card bases from Basic White card using the Everyday Arches Dies and attached them together following the video instructions. To decorate the front of the card, I cut another arch from Basic White card and embossed it using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. The panel once attached covers the paper pieces which hold the card together. I stamped the image from the Stippled Roses stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink and coloured the image using Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends.
I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Stippled Roses Die and attached it to the embossed panel using dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from the Cutest Onsie stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink and used the banner die from the now retired Heart Shaped Dies. The greeting is attached across the rose image. To decorate the middle panel of the card, I cut and embossed Basic White card as I did for the card front using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I cut Basic White card with a smaller Everyday Arches Die and stamped the greeting from the Layers of Beauty stamp set using Smoky Slate ink.I stamped the leaf image and part of the large floral image from the Stippled Roses stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink. I coloured the images using Petal Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the leaf image in two sections and the part of the large image I wanted and layered these across the stamped Basic White arch. I attached the panel flat onto the embossed Basic White card.
To decorate the last panel, I die cut Basic White card using the largest Every Day Arches Die and attached to the card base. I stamped the large floral image from the Stippled Roses stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink. I coloured the image as before and cut it into sections which I attached to the lower right hand corner of the panel. I think I am in love with these dies and this gorgeous card style. What about you, have you tried your hand at this style of card yet?

Iandra Castle
When we left Cowra to travel to Young we decided to drive by the Iandra Castle. It was built in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. Unfortunately it wasn’t open on the day we drove by but it is certainly very much a “Castle”. I added a couple of pieces of Country Woods 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I did sponge the edges of the Designer Series Paper using a sponge dauber and Early Espresso ink. I attached the photos to Basic White card before attaching them to my page. I cut Crumb Cake card using one of the Nested Essential Dies and sponged the edges using Early Espresso ink. The title is cut from Early Espresso card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. I stamped one of the images from the Keeping Tabs stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate and Real Red ink.
I stamped “this moment” onto one tab and “memories” onto the second tabe. Both greetings are from the Love This Moment stamp set onto the lined image using Early Espresso ink. I cut out the greeting using the Keeping Tabs Punch. I folded the tabs and sponged the edges using Early Espresso ink. I attached one to a photo and one to the title panel. I cut some tags from the Designer Series Paper and Crumb Cake card using the retired Greetings of the Season Dies. I sponged the edges using Early Espresso ink and attached them behind the tabs. I also added some Linen thread behind each of the tabs too. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card, cut it into strips, dipped the edges in Early Espresso ink and then attached them below the photos. I did stamp some leaves from the Layering Leaves stamp set using Old Olive ink. The leaves are punched out using the Bough Punch and attached to the left of the jounaling. I also added a bow tied with linen thread. I love how this page turned out and I love how the photos show off this gorgeous piece of Australian History. Iandra is so special it was heritage listed in 2005.

Another Birthday
Today’s card uses the Translucent Florals stamp set and co-ordinating dies. I cut my card base from Thick Basic White card and trimmed down the front panel. I cut a piece of Unbounded Beauty 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached it to the card front. I also attached a narrow strip of the same paper down the right hand side of Basic White card. I stamped the greeting from the Translucent Florals stamp set onto the Basic White panel and attached it inside the card base. I stamped the large leaf image from the Translucent Florals stamp set onto Basic White card using Summer Splash ink.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Translucent Florals stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of the Basic White card. The stamped Basic White card is attached to Petunia Pop card and then the card front. I stamped two different flowers from the Translucent Florals stamp set onto Basic White card using Petunia Pop ink.
I cut out the flowers using the co-ordinating Translucent Florals Dies and attached them to the card front using dimensionals. I also added three Basic Rhinestones to the image panel. I love making this kind of card because it is really easy to cut the Designer Series Paper without waste. I cut the Designer Series Paper into a piece large enough to fit a standard card front, then I simply trim off the same amount that I trimmed from the card base and use that piece to add to the inside panel. Simple!

Let’s Party
Today’s card is one I made for my granddaughter who recently celebrated her birthday. I cut Basic White card using one of the Countryside Inn Dies. I attached a birthday cake which is one of the die cuts from the Wildflower Birthday 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I attached the Basic White die cut to the centre of a piece of Wildflower Celebrations Designer Series Paper. I stamped “let’s party” from the Wildflower Celebrations stamp set onto Basic White card using Pretty in Pink ink. I used one of the banners from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the greeting.
I attached it across the bottom of the birthday cake using dimensionals, trimming the right hand end of the banner to align with the edge of the Designer Series Paper. I cut Thick Basic White card to give me a double opening card base and attached the decorative panel to the front. I cut Basic White card using the flag die from the Birthday Celebrations Dies.
The flag is attached to a piece of the same Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper I used on the card front. I stamped “happy” from the Birthday Celebrations stamp set onto Basic White card using Pretty in Pink ink. I cut out the greeting using one of the banners from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped “birthday from the Wildflower Celebrations stamp set onto Basic White card using Pretty in Pink ink and cut it out using the same Stylish Shapes Die. I used the Birthday Celebrations Dies to create “17” which I cut from Petal Pink card. I attached the greetings across the top and the bottom of the flag and the numbers in the centre. I stamped “th” from the Birthday Celebrations stamp set beside the numbers using Pretty in Pink ink.
Lastly I attached a piece of one of the die cut banners from the Wildflower Celebrations Designer Series Paper across the right hand corner of the panel. The whole panel is attached to the central panel of the card base. To decorate the last panel of the card, I attached a balloon die cut from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper to the bottom left hand corner of Basic White card. I attached the rest of the banner I used on the central card panel to the upper right hand corner of the Basic White card. The Basic White panel is attached to Pool Party card and then the last panel of the card base. I am so happy with the way this has turned out. I think it is very pretty and thankfully my granddaughter loved it.

Peace Bell
No visit to Cowra is complete without visiting the Peace Bell. This bell was awarded to Cowra in 1992 in recognition of its long standing contribution to world peace and understanding. For my page I used both sides a sheet of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. I did sponge the edges of each piece with Early Espresso ink before attaching the panels to the Basic White page. I attached the small photo to my journaling panel before attaching this panel as well as the larger photos to Early Espresso card.
The journaling was printed onto Basic White card. The title is cut from Early Espresso card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. I used the Layers of Beauty stamp set, masks and dies to create the flowers in Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink. I did have to fussy cut a few of the flowers as well. The roses are to represent the Peace Rose but I think my colours are not quite right, however, I think they look lovely on this page. I also die cut some leaves from Old Olive card using the Layers of Beauty Dies. The page feels peaceful which is how it feels when you visit the Peace Bell.
