Birthday Celebration Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Today I have a few birthday cards to share with you that I made last summer using the now retired Birthday Celebration Bundle that was in the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. The Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP is so pretty & springy! The entire suite is amazing!
















The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper is loaded with such pretty paper patterns and 2 sheets of punchouts. I love this option when it comes to card making or even scrapbooking!
I don't have much of this paper left and honestly what is left I am hoarding! LOL It's just so pretty!

Pretty Petals Sympathy

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today I am sharing a card I made some time ago using a bundle from the Online Exclusives. I feel like this set did not stick around long. I used the Pretty Petals bundle from last year.



Card Details:

Stamps: Pretty Petals (retired Online Exclusives), Something Fancy (retired sentiment)
Ink: Pretty Peacock, Flirty Flamingo
Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Pretty Peacock, Basic White
Accessories: Nested Essentials Dies, Modern Herringbone 3D EF (retired Online Exclusives), Low Profile Gold Dots, Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


This card was a case of a beautiful card that LeeAnn Greff made. It was the one that sold me on this bundle. I have made quite a few cards with this set since and wanted to share the one that caught my attention! Thanks LeeAnn!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today I am sharing a fun card made for St. Patrick's Day!




Card Details:

Stamps: All Year Cheer 3 (retired), Amazing Life (retired)

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Tropical Escape DSP (retired 2019)

More Fun With Squares

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Yep, it's Friday and I'm still under the weather.
I had a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together scheduled for tomorrow morning that I cancelled. Not happy about that since this is the 2nd time I tried to have it.
Today I have another card to share that uses those fun little 1 inch scrap squares. This card is a case of a card I saw a few months ago. I loved it so much! It uses all things retired from my stash...





Card Details:

Stamps: Vintage Vogue (retired 2011)
Ink: Evening Evergreen (retired In Color)
Cardstock: Evening Evergreen (retired In Color), Soft Succulent (retired In Color), Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Ever Eden DSP (retired 2021)
Accessories: Gold Shimmer Ribbon (retired), Garden Gems (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


This card is so pretty and hats off to the original creator of it which I am not sure who it was but I loved it!

I have been making lots of cards with this design. Here is the sketch...


If you make a card using this design please let me a comment and I will come check it out!

Ice Cream Cone HB

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Since I am still under the weather, I am pulling some cards from the files to share until I can get back to my stamp table. This card was made for a little girl that loves ice cream! I used the retired Sweet Ice Cream stamp set from 2021.




Card Details:

Stamps: Sweet Ice Cream (retired 2021)
Ink: Strawberry Slush (In Color), Crushed Curry, Close to Cocoa (retired), Pecan Pie
Cardstock: Strawberry Slush (In Color), Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie, Basic White
Accessories: Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch (retired), Stamp A Ma Jig, Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This bundle was a fun one that will stay put in my collection as long as I am able to stamp!
The punch makes creating cards so quick and this set is loaded with some fun sentiments! 

Ok, I am headed to shower and get back to binge watching When Calls the Heart on Hallmark Plus. Not much else to do while trying to get rid of this head cold.

Fabulous Sayings

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

So sorry for the late update today....I am under the weather and trying to rest as much as possible. Yesterday I had a headache most of the day which ibuprofen did nothing for me. I even napped in the afternoon. We ran up to the restaurant for a quick supper. It was raining and just the dreariest day! Our neighbor up the street (Mr. Bob) came into the restaurant and sat with us. He goes into the restaurant every day and we have gotten to know him thru Kelsey. We had a good conversation with him, ate and then we headed home. I was back in bed by 7:30. Before I went to bed I filled up my humidifer and took some sinus medicine. I slept so long and today I am just taking it easy. Our weather is still rainy, foggy & so dreary! I will take the rain any day over snow though! So, Miss Bailee is hanging by my side while I sit on the loveseat typing this. She knows I am not feeling 100%. 

Today I am sharing cards with you that I made with January's Stampin Up! Product of the Month stamp set....Fabulous Sayings. It is loaded with some amazing sentiments and I felt it would be used quite a bit in my collection. I made a set of Happy Birthday cards with it and paired it with the Painterly Pears DSP from the Online Exclusives.








Card Details:

Stamps: Fabulous Sayings (Product of the Month January 2026)
Ink: Secret Sea
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Basic White, Secret Sea, Painterly Pears DSP (Online Exclusives)
Accessories: Forever Plaid EF, Eyelet 3D EF, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Mossy Meadow/Gold Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Low Profile Sparkle Dots (Online Exclusives), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love how these cards turned out! I put these aside in my bins for now! Not sure how long they will stick around though! Great colors & papers make for pretty cards!

Thankful Garden Card Set

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

We have a wintry mix on our hands today! A little bit of snow, freezing rain & then a change over to all rain by noon. I plan to head to my stamp table for a bit to work on some Easter cards for my bin while we are having a yukky day! 
In the meantime, I am sharing a set of cards that I made with a bundle from the Online Exclusives, Thankful Garden.






Card Details:

Stamps: Thankful Garden (Online Exclusives)
Ink: Memento Black, Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Garden Green
Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Basic White, Lovely Garden DSP (Online Exclusives)
Accessories: Thankful Garden Dies (Online Exclusives), Thankful Garden Decorative Masks (Online Exclusives), Blending Brushes, Blue Gems (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


Can you tell I am anxious for spring! These flowers & the colors just bring a smile to my face! I left them blank for now but will add a sentiment if need be. These products are on the last chance list with some discounted prices while supplies last. I love this suite!

Reason to Celebrate Set

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Just wanted to share a set of St Patrick's Day cards I made for Audrey in her recent order.






Card Details:

Stamps: Reason to Celebrate, Seasonal Celebrations (Online Exclusives)
Ink: Garden Green
Cardstock: Garden Green, Basic White, Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP (retired)
Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


Both of these new sets are so much fun and full of variety!
I kept these as simple as possible for Audrey because she does not like all the rhinestones & ribbons on her cards.
