My Team is a Wild Bunch!!

Last Saturday was our yearly team retreat

This is the card and the tags that I made for them using the WILD BUNCH stamp set that was the Product Of The Month for June 2026.

The adorable card features 4 of the cute little penguins. They were fussy cut out along with the little hearts.

I was inspired by Peta from Australia.

The images were stamped using black ink and colored in with Watercolor Pencils in Crushed Curry, Basic Black & Basic Gray. The hearts were colored in with the Flirty Flamingo watercolor pencil. Then they all were blended with a Blender Pen. These pens come in a set of 3 for $15. Using the watercolor pencils and a blender pen, it gives your image a softer look.

The "just a little note" comes from the Wild Bunch stamp set but I had to mask off the words because it came as one stamp. The "note" part was punched out with the Keeping Tabs Punch. (heat embossed with white onto basic black card stock)

The designer paper is from the Country Woods Designer Paper Pack (which I had a ton of left over) - one of my favorites - I really love wood grain designer paper.

All 4 of the animals in this set are cute in their own way! These tags were attached to their Prize Patrol.

All of these were inspired by Julia Quinn

Colors used: Cloud Cover and Crumb Cake highlights for the shell and Petal Pink for the slug body! 

The cute koala was colored using Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends with Petal Pink inner ears!

The heart was stamped in Flirty Flamingo and colored in with Barely Blush. The Ribbon is the Bubble Bath 1/8" Faux Linen Ribbon. 

The cute little Highland Cow was coloued using Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends with Petal Pink for the horns, nose and ears.  

I used Black Stampin' Blends with Pumpkin Pie for the penguin and stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock.

The leafy background was stamped with Peaceful Pine.

The measurements that I used are:

Pool Party: 2-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Basic White: 1-15/16" x 5-1/2"

Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper: 1/2" x 5-1/2"

The "Thank You" comes from the Wild Bunch stamp set and the "for being on my team" is from a demonstrator only stamp set from WAY BACK when I started with Stampin' Up!

The embellishments are: Dreamy Flowers.

Say Cheese!!

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

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

 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

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)
