Say Cheese!!

Thursday, September 17, 2026

I am obsessed with this beautiful card!

I was inspired by Sarah Heathcote on Instagram. Therefore there were no instructions or blog post to follow.
I changed up the DSP at 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" to use some from Moonlit Flora. 
I eliminated some vellum circles (because I never bought that die and it is now retired. I can't even remember the name of the set)
I also eliminated some metallic dots thinking that the card was busy enough.
I also switched up the embossing folder.
I believe Sarah used the coordinating masks from LAYERS OF BEAUTY (the flowers), but I chose to use the Stampin' Blends in Melon Mambo light and Bubble Bath dark. The leaves are colored in with Granny Apple Green light & dark.
I also made it my own by stamping the "Say Cheese" using a non Stampin' Up! stamp.

Easy Box Front Fun Fold Card

Wednesday, September 16, 2026

One of the gals on my team made this cute card inspired by Heidi 

Another super simple card 

Measurements:

Base: Barely Blush - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 1/2", 1-3/4", 3", 4-1/4"

Cherry Cobbler: 2-3/4" x 10-1/2" scored at 5-1/4"

Designer Paper: 1" x 5-1/4" (x3)

Designer Paper: 2-1/2" x 5"

Very Vanilla for the inside: 2-1/2" x 5" 

I figured that Piglet was knocking on the door of Pooh's house so I added a sitting Pooh Bear cut out from the Designer Paper, with a little honey pot in his lap. After all, honey is Pooh's favorite treat!

I used the SWEET WORDS & LABELS to stamp the sentiment onto Very Vanilla card stock and to die cut the image from the Designer Paper and back it with some Cherry Cobbler card stock. I love these dies!! They can be used for so much more than just the Pooh Products!!

Just 3 little ADHESIVE BACKED SPARKLE SEQUINS adds just the right touch.

Cute As A Bug Pop Up Gift Card

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

 I watched a video for how to make this fun Pop-Up Gift Card Holder by Creative Moments By G

I used her basic measurements, but totally changed up the look by adding a front layer with some CUTE AS A BUG Designer Paper. 

I had 2 sheets left of this cute paper and felt it worked perfectly for my granddaughter or some neighbor kids who all get gift cards for their birthdays.
INSIDE: see how it pops up when you open the card!
On card #1 I used 2 layers of circles from SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE, and fussy cut 2 of the cute butterflies out of the Designer Paper. The "Happy Birthday" comes from SCALLOPED BLOOMS stamp set. The inside sentiment comes from FRAMED ALL AROUND.
I also used her measurements to make a horizontal version
This gift card was surprisingly easy to make 
On this second card I used two layers of dies from SWEET WORDS & LABELS, cutting one out of Cajun Craze and one from the same Designer Paper. I also fussy cut one of the cute butterflies to add to it.
Now that I made these two versions you can bet that I will be making some more using a variety of stamps & paper. I'm so sad that I stamped my "happy birthday to you" crooked. Oh, it's the life of a stamper I guess.

Cutest Crew Thank You

Monday, September 14, 2026
While we were on vacation, our wonderful neighbors took both of our girls into their home and cared for them. Lucy & Tori love spending time with them and they own one of Lucy's puppies. 

We wanted to gift them and thank them for all they did for us so I made them this card inspired by Jenny Hayward
The Thank You came from SIMPLY SAID
I thought that it was extra cute so I made one up for my Tuesday stampers. 
Inside:
What I changed up: The designer paper - Jenny used a designer paper from Painted Illusions, but my stash of this paper was all gone so I substituted some from PEACEFUL GARDEN (which is now retired)
