Happy Thank You
Today’s card uses the Beautifully Happy stamp set which you can earn for free with a qualifying spend during Sale-a-bration (5 January to 28 February 2023). I attached a piece of Design a Daydream 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Old Olive card. I stamped “thank you” from the Beautifully Happy stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I attached the stamped panel to Old Olive card and then the card front. I stamped the large floral outline from the Beautifully Happy stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I stamped the flower fill image onto the outline image using Pumpkin Pie ink. I added the leaf images from the Beautifully Happy stamp set onto the outline image using Old Olive ink. I stamped the flower centre using Crushed Curry ink. I attached the stamped Basic White panel to Old Olive card and then the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Beautifully Happy stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I stamped the small outline floral image from the same stamp set beside the greeting using Old Olive ink. I stamped the fill images from the Beautifully Happy stamp set onto the outline image using Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink. I attached a narrow strip of Old Olive card behind one long edge of the Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper. The panel is attached across the bottom of the stamped Basic White card.
Such a lovely stamp set and since it is photopolymer it is so easy to line up the images. Let me know what you think.

Crows Nest
Before Christmas Ron and I decided to take a short break and visited a little town about two hours from home. We had a lovely time. For my page I attached a piece of the Enjoy The Journey 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom half of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I did cut a border from Basic Black card using one of the Blossoming Happiness Dies which I attached to the bottom edge of the paper first. I attached my photos onto the page without adding any mats. I cut two of the decorative panels from Basic Black card using the All That Dies to attach to the page. I cut the title from Basic Black card using the new Alphabet A La Mode Dies which you can find in the new Mini Catalogue.
I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Basic Black card first to make it easier to attach the title. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it out using one of the Something Fancy Dies and attached it to the lower right hand corner of the page. Lastly I cut Basic Black card using the Greatest Journey Dies and attached the tree image to the bottom of the page. I love how pretty this page looks and the Designer Series Paper is just simply gorgeous. You can find the Enjoy The Journey Collection on page 58 of the new Mini Catalogue.

18
My eldest granddaughter celebrated her 18th birthday with a small party at home with her friends. Ron & I attended early in the afternoon and left when all her friends began to arrive. For my page I cut strips of Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape card and embossed each strip using one of the folders from the Strips & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. The panels are attached to the right hand side of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I die cut Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape card using the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies and attached them and the photos directly to the page. I printed the journaling onto Basic White card and cut it into strips. I tapped the edges of the strips onto my Highland Heather ink pad before attaching them to the page. The title was cut using the long retired Large Numbers Dies. Simple page but a lovely memory.

Bayside Birthday
Today’s card was created to show off the product I featured in my Facebook Live this week, but I knew that I wanted to give it to my Dad for his recent birthday. I created my Pop Up Block card following the instructions by Frechie which you can find here. I cut my card base from Basic White card and added a panel of Balmy Blue which I embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I added panels of By The Bay 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper across the pop up panels. I cut one of the patterns from the same Designer Series Paper using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I punched Basic White card using the Sailboat Builder Punch and attached the mast piece to the Designer Series Paper. I attached the sails using dimensionals before attaching the panel to the front of my card. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Go To Greeting stamp onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink and cut it out using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I attached the greeting to the third pop up panel. To decorate the back of the card (which is where you can add your message),
I attached a narrow strip of the By The Bay Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I punched Night of Navy and Balmy Blue card using the Sailboat Builder Punch. I attached the Night of Navy mast and Balmy Blue sails to the lower left hand corner of the Basic White panel. I attached the decorated panel to Balmy Blue card and then the back of the card base. I love that this paper is so pretty. There are gorgeous designs you can just stamp or decorate as I have on this card but there are also beautiful designs which have gold foil or pearl foil to really make them “pop”. I must say that I really love these Pop Up Block cards (thank you Frenchie) and I think this design will feature in an upcoming class.

Christmas 2022
Today’s page shows off some photos taken at our family get together – not Christmas Day but we had lots of fun anyway. Unfortunately the product I am sharing in this project is already retired but hopefully you were lucky enough to get your hands on them while they were available. I attached strips of the Sweetest Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the top of one Basic White 12″ x 12″ page and the bottom of another Basic White 12″ x 12″ page.
I cut a strip of Real Red card using the border from the Scalloped Contour Dies and attached the pieces across the edge of the Designer Series Paper. The photos on the right page are attached to Early Espresso card to give them a little more definition. I cut two candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper using the Candy Cane Die and attached them to the lower right hand corner of the second page.
I also stamped two leaves from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set onto Basic White card using Garden Green ink and cut them out using the co-ordinating Candy Cane Die. The leaves are tucked under the edge of the candy canes. I tied a bow in a length of the Real Red Ribbon from the Real Real & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack and attached it to the candy canes using a Glue Dot. Lastly I added one Flat Jingle Bell Trinket to the candy canes just below the bow. The “celebrate” in the title comes from the long retired Celebrate You Dies and I used the retired Playful Alphabet Dies to cut “Christmas” and “2022” from Real Red card.
Simple but fun pages to show off some great Christmas Memories.

Two Tone Flora Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards which I made using product from the Fancy Flora Suite Collection. Today I have another card to share with you. For this card, I attached adhesive sheet to the back of Basic White card before cutting it using the large die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies. I attached the die cut to a piece of Soft Succulent Fine Shimmer 12″ x 12″ Paper. I cut a rectangle from a piece of Mint Macaron card using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I attached the outside frame over the Basic White die cut. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped two solid flower images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first.
I stamped the co-ordinating detailed images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set over the top of the solid images using Fresh Freesia ink. I also stamped the large leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Mint Macaron ink. I cut out the flowers and the leaf using the co-ordinating Two Tone Flora Dies. I attached the leaf and one of the flowers flat onto the card front. The second flower is attached using dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from the Something Fancy stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink.
I used the banner die from the Two Tone Flora Dies to cut out the greeting. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals where necessary. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped one of the solid flower images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the co-ordinating detailed image over the top of the solid image using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the same solid flower onto masking paper and cut it out. I attached the mask over the stamped floral image. I stamped the leaf image twice around the flower using Mint Macaron ink. I removed the mask and attached the stamped panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base. This is a truly awesome product suite which I know you are all going to love.

Places in the Heart
Today I am sharing a card I made using the Places in the Heart stamp set which I purchased recently. This stamp set is from the current Annual Catalogue. I love the style of the images. I began this card by embossing a Basic White panel using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I attached the embossed card to scored and folded Mint Macaron card.
I stamped the image from the Places in the Heart stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Dark Calypso Coral, Dark Mint Macaron, Dark Balmy Blue, Dark So Saffron, Bronze & Ivory Stampin’ Blends.
I attached the stamped Basic White panel to Mint Macaron card and then the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped one of the greetings from the Places in the Heart stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I didn’t do any shading with my colouring because the stamp has the shading already done.
