Everyday Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I made using the Everyday Details Bundle. Today I have another card to share with you. I attached two pieces of the Flight & Airy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to Basic White card (you can earn this Designer Series Paper for free until the end of February with a $90.00 order). The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Fresh Freesia card. I stamped the image from the Everyday Details stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the image using one of the rectangle dies from the Everyday Details Dies.
I coloured the image using Fresh Freesia, Light Lost Lagoon and Light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. I attached the image to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink. I cut out the greeting using one of the circle dies from the Everyday Details Dies. The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals where necessary.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Everyday Details stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped part of the floral image from the Everyday Details stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of the Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the stamped image using the same Stampin’ Blends as I used on the card front. This stamp set has so many possibilities, co-ordinating it with any Designer Series Paper in your stash or with another stamp set. I’d love to know what you think of today’s card.

Welcome Little One
Today I have a boy and a girl version baby cards created using the Cradled in Love stamp set which you can earn for FREE with a $90.00 qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration. To begin I embossed Basic White card using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and attached it to Pool Party card. I stamped the cradle image from the Cradled in Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the mat image and hanger images onto the cradle using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Pool Party, Light Crumb Cake & Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
I attached the stamped panel to Pool Party card and then the card front. I stamped the greeting from the Cradled in Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Pool Party ink. I cut out the greeting using the smaller banner from the Timeless Arrangments Dies. I attached the greeting to a larger banner cut from Pool Party card, also using the Timeless Angements Dies.
The greeting is attached to the top right hand corner of the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped “sweet Baby Boy” using the greetings from the Cradled in Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Pool Party ink. I stamped the elephant image from the same stamp set beside the greeting using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I embossed a narrow strip of Basic White card using the same Basics 3D Embossing Folder as I used for the front of the card. I attached a narrow strip of Pool Party card behind one long edge and attached it across the bottom of the stamped card. The second version of the card uses exactly the same supplies except I used Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends and Bubble Bath card and ink.
I love how they both turned out, don’t you?

Mr & Mrs
Today my page showcases a photo from my eldest daughter’s wedding. I attached pieces of two different patterns from the Softly Stippled 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the photo across a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut the title from Lost Lagoon card using the Mini Alphabet Dies and attached it to the page above the photo. I cut two floral bouquets from one of the patterns in the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper.
I coloured the flowers using the Light Calypso Coral and Light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. The flowers are attached to the page across the bottom of the photo. I just love how this turned out, don’t you. And the best thing is the paper is free with a $90.00 order during Sale-a-Bration. But they are only available while stocks last, so don’t delay placing your order.

Rock & Roll Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards using the Rock Star Collection. This collection includes the Rock Star Bundle, Rock & Roll 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Adhesive Backed Lightning & Stars. For today’s card, I attached Crushed Curry card across the bottom of a Basic White panel and added a narrow strip of Gray Granite card across the top. I embossed the whole panel using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder before attaching the panel to scored and folded Gray Granite card. I stamped the microphone image from the Rock Star stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I coloured the image using the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Rock Star Die before attaching it to the card front. I stamped the drum stick image twice onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images using the Light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend. I attached one image to the card front. I stamped the greeting from the Rock Star stamp set onto Basic White card using Gray Granite ink and used the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch to cut out the image.
I attached the greeting to the card front and also the second drum stick using dimensionals. Lastly I added three Crushed Curry stars from the Adhesive Backed Lightning & Stars. To decorate the inside of the card, I embossed a narrow strip of Crushed Curry card and attached it across the bottom of a Basic White panel. I added a narrow strip of Gray Granite card across the top. I stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto the Basic White panel using Gray Granite ink. However, the image was crooked so I stamped onto scrap Basic White card using Gray Granite ink and punched it out using the Modern Oval Punch. The punched greeting is attached over the crooked stamped greeting. There is always a way to save a small mistake! I am having fun using this stamp set and hope that you are inspired to take another look.

Hello Toucan
Here is another card I created using the Jungle Pals stamp set and Jungle Pals Dies. I embossed Soft Sea Foam card using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I cut Early Espresso card using the tree die from the Jungle Pals Dies and attached it to the right hand side of the embossed card, trimming away some excess card. The panel is attached to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I used the Jungle Pals Dies to cut the small leaves from Garden Green card and attached them to the tree die. I used the Jungle Pals Dies to cut the large leaves from Garden Green card which I attached to the lower left hand corner of the embossed card.
I stamped the toucan image from the Jungle Pals stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Flirty Flamingo, Light Cajun Craze and Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. The image is cut out using the co-ordinating Jungle Pals Die and attached to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped the border image from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set onto Basic White card using Garden Green ink. I stamped the greeting from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set inside the border using the same ink. I punched out the greeting using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch before attaching it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped the toucan image from the Jungle Pals stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using the same Stampin’ Blends as I used for the image on the card front. I stamped the greeting from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set beside the coloured image using Garden Green ink. Another fun card using some of the stamp sets and dies that you can earn for Free during Sale-a-Bration.

Christening
Today I am sharing a page with photos from my Christening way back in 1956. I cut pieces of the Softly Stippled 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached them to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. The Softly Stippled Designer Series paper is one of the products that you can have for free with a $90.00 order. It co-ordinates with the Stippled Roses Bundle and it’s so pretty! I attached my photos flat onto the page, usually I scan and reprint my photos but I couldn’t get clarity so I have used the originals.
I stamped the large and small flower from the Stippled Roses stamp set onto Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink. I cut out the images using the co-ordinating Stippled Roses Die. I stamped the same images onto Basic White card using Wild Wheat ink and fussy cut just the flowers. I attached the fussy cut flowers onto the die cut bouquets before attaching them to the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it into a strip which I attached across the bottom of the page. I cut Basic White card using the Mini Alphabet Dies to create the title. So happy with this page. I’d love to hear what you think.

Happiness Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I made using the Filled With Happiness stamp set which you can find in the new Mini Catalogue. I cut my card base from Fresh Freesia card and then trimmed down the front panel. I attached a piece of Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to the front panel. I stamped the top half of the Happy Birthday image from the Filled with Happiness stamp set onto the top of a piece of Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink.
I stamped the bottom half of the image onto the bottom of the same piece of Basic White card using the same ink. The stamped panel is attached to the piece I cut from the card base and then the card front. I stamped the leafy image from the Sending Smiles stamp set onto a narrow strip of Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink. I slid this strip into the Modern Oval Punch so that I only punched one end.
I flipped the strip around and then punched the other end. I attached this panel to the card front inside the stamped greeting using dimensionals. I stamped the flower from the Sending Smiles stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the flower centre onto the flower using Lemon Lolly ink. I cut out the flower using the co-ordinating Sending Die and attached it to the card front. I did use my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker to connect the flower to the leafy image. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped one of the flower stems onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink. I also stamped the flower using Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lolly ink. Isn’t this a fun stamp set, so many possibilities.

Life is Sweeter
with the Watercolor Melon stamp set which you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order ($90.00) during Sale-A-Bration. I decided to CASE the Sale-A-Bration catalogue to create my card today. I embossed Shaded Spruce card using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the leafy image from the Watercolor Melon stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the greeting from the Share a Milkshake stamp set below the leafy images using Basic Gray ink.
I stamped the whole watermelon image onto Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink and punched it out using the Modern Oval Punch (you have got to love it when you don’t have to fussy cut). I attached this image over the top of the stamped leafy images. I stamped the slice of watermelon onto Basic White card using Poppy Parade ink and the skin image around the slice using Shaded Spruce ink.
I added some seeds using Poppy Parade ink as well. I was able to use the Modern Oval Punch to punch out the image and just trim across the top of the slice. I attached this image to the stamped panel using dimensionals. The whole panel is attached to Poppy Parade card and then the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the leafy image from the Watercolor Melon onto Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink. I stamped the greeting from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set onto Basic White card using Basic Gray ink. I trimmed the greeting into three sections and attached them beside the leafy image. I had fun with this stamp set and I know I am going to love playing with it more.

Christmas Day
2023. Over the past couple of years we have been celebrating Christmas Day with my Mum and Dad, my sister, her daughter and grandson. Quiet but lovely just the same. I embossed Basic White card using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I attached my photo, the embossed Basic White card and two pieces of the now retired Joyful 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper to Smoky Slate card. I attached the whole panel to Shaded Spruce card and then to a Basic White 12″ x12″ page. I used the Christmas Classic Die to cut Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler card. I cut the berries from the Cherry Cobbler card and attached them to the Shaded Spruce die cut. I attached the die to the embossed Basic White panel. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it out using the Christmas Classic Die. The journaling is attached to the centre of the Shaded Spruce die cut. Another simple page and I am not sure that the photo is that great but it is certainly better than any selphie I can take! Unfortunately the Designer Series Paper and the Christmas Class Dies are now retired but I am sure many of you will have these products in your stash.

Enduring Beauty Bundle
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I created using this amazing bundle. You get a stamp set, co-ordinating dies and a set of decorative masks in this bundle, which gives lots of options for creating. For today’s card I used one of the Radiating Stitches Dies to cut a window down the left hand side of Basic White card. I stamped the “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of the panel using Gorgeous Grape ink
I die cut another piece of Basic White card using the background die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies which I attached behind the open window, trimming away some of the die cut where necessary. I attached the panel to scored and folded Soft Sea Foam card. I stamped the floral image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink
I used the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks to add Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon and Early Espresso ink to the image. I used the co-ordinating Enduring Beauty Die to cut out the image which I attached to the card front. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped a greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto Basic White card using Gorgeous Grape ink. I die cut Basic White card using the flower die from the Enduring Beauty Dies and coloured it using the Dark Highland Heather and Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. I attached the flower next to the greeting before attaching the panel to the inside of the card base. This bundle is truly amazing and I am sure will be a very popular purchase from the new Mini Catalogue. I would love to hear what you think.
