Hello Ladybug Thank You Card

Leave a reply
Hello Ladybug Thank You Card

This Hello Ladybug Thank You Card is a little of the old mixed with the new! For some reason, this Hello, Ladybug Stamp Set caught my eye! Sometimes when you think you have no ideas or no inspiration, something will jump out at you. I hadn’t used this set in so long that I forgot that it coordinates with the Ladybug Punch! I was looking for the dies!

The card base is Granny Apple Green to match the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper I chose to use. At this time, that designer paper is unavailable until the week of September 25! Sorry!

Since there was black on the ladybug, I thought maybe a layer of Basic Black cardstock would look good. The black is cut at the usual layer size of 4″ x 5 1/4″. Then I thought maybe some Daffodil Delight would look good so I used the largest scalloped rectangle in the Scalloped Contours Dies. To fit the designer paper inside, I just measured the inside area and used the Paper Trimmer to cut a rectangle of designer paper.

The ladybug in the Hello, Ladybug Stamp Set is stamped with a black body and Real Red for the wings. You can either stamp the dots or simply color them in with a marker. Then use the Ladybug Builder Punch to punch out those pieces. The big leaf is also in the stamp set. It is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and I just cut it out by hand with Paper Snips. No dies!

When this set came out last year, we often paired it with the Daisy Punch (retired). So for something new, I used the Cheerful Daisies Bundle. The daisy is stamped and then die cut, plus there are some little green leaves. The daisy and the ladybug are both popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, but the large leaf is glued down flat.

I wasn’t sure what greeting I wanted to use. I found this “Thank You” in the Circle Sayings Stamp Set and cut it out with the oval die in the All That Dies.

Sometimes it’s good to look through ALL your current stamp sets and find one you haven’t used in a while before it retires! This Hello Ladybug Bundle is a great one to use for summertime cards and to make this Hello Ladybug Thank You Card.

Today is the LAST DAY to earn a Bonus Coupon with every $50 purchase at Stampin’ Up! (before tax and shipping, of course!). You will get an email with your coupon code and you can spend your $5 coupon (and hopefully more coupons!) in August!

Textured Floral Happy Birthday Card

Leave a reply
Textured Floral Happy Birthday Card

I just got this Textured Floral Bundle the other day, and wow, am I happy with this first card I just made! This Textured Floral Happy Birthday Card came together really easily! It reminded me a lot of a stamp set that just retired from the previous annual catalog, but then I saw samples online and couldn’t resist any longer! No matter how many floral stamp sets we have, we still need more!

These stamps have that “Distinktive” style which gives you some texture and makes the image look very artistic. They look good stamped right on the card or you can use the dies to cut them out.

I wanted this card to look bright and summery so I started with a card base of Lemon Lime Twist and a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I stamped the three flowers in Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, and Highland Heather on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock and then die-cut them with the Textured Floral Dies. One set of leaves was stamped with Garden Green ink on Basic White and the other was stamped on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock with Lemon Lime Twist ink. The stem with the tiny leaves was die-cut from Lemon Lime Twist. I thought it was so pretty I had to use it on this card!

When I first stamped one of the smallest flowers with Highland Heather ink, I thought the flower was so beautiful that I got the idea to stamp those flowers directly on the card and the others would be fine to be diecut and popped up on the card. I think the beautiful Highland Heather flowers really make a pretty backdrop for the other flowers.

After stamping the Highland Heather flowers around where I planned to place the other flowers, I could fill in some empty spaces so it turned out I stamped more purple flowers than I first thought. But I really like them! Then I adhered the Flirty Flamingo large flower with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals and then the Daffodil Delight flower off to the side, and finally had to add a diecut purple flower, also popped up. When you know you are going to slip some leaves underneath, be sure not to have too much adhesive right on the edges of the flowers. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere all the different leaves and the stem.

The greetings in the Textured Floral Stamp Set were too large for the space I had left, so I used a small “Happy Birthday” stamp in the Go To Greetings Stamp Set. I was going to stamp it on some small label, but took a chance and stamped it directly on the card. If I had messed it up, I still could have covered it with a large stamped greeting label. It’s pretty risky to stamp directly on a card that you have just spent time making!

For a little sparkle, I splattered some Wink of Stella around the front of the card. I could have used Iridescent Rhinestones or sequins instead for a little bling.

On the inside of the card, I did stamp a greeting from the Textured Floral Stamp Set and adhered an extra Highland Heather diecut flower to the corner. Now the card is all set to mail to a friend for her birthday!

Remember, tomorrow is the last day for the Bonus Days at Stampin’ Up! to earn your $5 coupons with every $50 purchase at Stampin’ Up! Then spend your coupons in August!

Fun In the Sun Paper Pumpkin Kit Contents

One of the most fun things about getting a Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail is opening up the box and the package inside to reveal all the contents of the kit! All the fun stamps, diecuts, labels, ink spot, and even some embellishments! It’s almost like Christmas….every month! This is the Fun In the Sun Paper Pumpkin Kit for July!

These cards are “fun folds” which means they aren’t just a half sheet of cardstock folded in half like we usually make. These cards start with a top fold in a horizontal position, but only the left side is a normal fold and the right side has extra folds on the bottom half which makes extra little areas to tuck in different card elements.

Fun In the Sun Paper Pumpkin Kit Cards

Usually I like to make some of the cards in the kit as designed, but this kit looked like so much fun, I just made all the cards, as designed, in one sitting! I didn’t even want to try to make alternative cards with some of the contents. But you could have and there are always ideas out there online that other stampers have created.

These are great summertime cards! This kit made 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs. It’s just fun using all the ephemera that comes in the kit.

If you would like to receive a kit like this in the mail every month, you should join Paper Pumpkin! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription, so you will find the gift of a Paper Pumpkin Kit to yourself in your mailbox each month! Usually, it is a kit to make cards, but it can be something else. All the supplies for the project are included in the box, even wrapped in tissue paper just like a gift! No risk, no obligation to continue for any length of time. Skip a month now and then if you need to. Stampin’ Up! guarantees each kit.

And, as an extra perk, each month if Stampin’ Up! has extra kits to sell, you will have the opportunity to buy them in the Online Store. Sometimes there are “refills” which is the kit with all the contents except for the stamp set and ink spot, if you want to make more of a kit you already received…or if you just want more of the materials. But you must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase these Past Kits and Refills.

Sales Tax Holiday 2023 on Stampin’ Up! Products

Leave a reply
Sales Tax Holiday 2023

It’s that time of year when some states have Sales Tax Holidays on back-to-school products to help out families. I think it started mostly with clothing, as I recall shopping for my kids, but it expanded slightly over the years maybe. For quite a few years now, select Stampin’ Up! products have been included because some items can be used as school supplies…as any mother knows when your child needs a project tomorrow for school and you better have some basic supplies on hand to make a diorama or build a 3D model of something or who knows what!

From Stampin’ Up!: “Thirteen states and Puerto Rico will be offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates, click here.

Please note that you and your customers must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.” 

This year it looks like in certain states the sales tax holiday applies to things like Stampin’ Up! adhesives, Paper Snips, Grid Paper, various markers, Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pens, the whole collection of Stampin’ Write Markers, and surprisingly, the catalog itself! A few things may be exempted in certain states so you have to check the chart. The sales tax holidays are also on different dates.

Sales tax isn’t a big savings, but it adds up little by little, so be sure to check it out if you wanted to stock up on some of these basic supplies!

Please note that Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday again this year.

Click on the chart above and you will probably have to zoom in on your computer or device to read it. Or click the link below for the Excel spreadsheet if that works for you.

Inked Botanicals Thank You Card

Leave a reply
Inked Botanicals Thank You Card

This Inked Botanicals Thank You Card is one of those super easy cards to make. And that’s okay to make super easy cards! We like the fancy folds and the multi-layered textured cards a lot of times, but this card design is a basic one and you should keep it in mind because you can still make beautiful cards with a basic design.

I just love the colors on this card! The card base is Calypso Coral. The designer paper is the pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This paper is extra-special because it was hand-crafted by the Stampin’ Up! in-house artists. They inked up these florals and pressed them onto paper to create the design. This gives a textured design of all these botanicals, which results in this beautiful paper! Don’t you just love to hear how the artists come up with all these beautiful products?

This Inked Botanicals Paper is 48 sheets, four sheets each of 12 double-sided designs so you will have lots of designs to choose from for your cards and projects!

This card uses two different patterns of the designer paper. There are so many combinations you could choose, all of which would be pretty together. The top paper is cut at 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ and the bottom portion is 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″. When I use two papers like this, I leave some extra room for them to overlap. In this case, the overlap is about 1/4″. The measurements can be modified according to how wide you want each part to be so you can make them whatever works for you.

I usually like to add a ribbon or at least some piece of cardstock covering the seam of where the two papers meet. I think it adds to the design of the card. On this card, I added the beautiful Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon around the seam and then I added a separate bow and adhered with Glue Dots.

The greeting is diecut from Very Vanilla cardstock using the label in the Something Fancy Dies. The greeting is stamped in Calypso Coral ink using the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. I love the font they used on some of the words in this set. For a little more embellishment, I added three gold Festive Pearls.

Here’s another card I made with different patterns of the Inked Botanicals Paper.

Don’t overlook this pretty Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! You can purchase the whole Inked Botanicals Suite Collection and get the paper, the stamp set, two punches, and ribbon. You will be all set with perfectly coordinated products. Take advantage of the Bonus Days at Stampin’ Up! and earn a $5 coupon for every $50 you spend in July.

Timeless Arrangements Birthday Card

Timeless Arrangements Birthday Card

It was time to play some more with the Timeless Arrangements Dies and out came this Timeless Arrangements Birthday Card. I wanted to make a card with softer and lighter colors mostly than the card I’d first made with this Bundle.

The Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set is a very nice one! There are lots of sentiments. Some you can use alone and many you will want to combine in many different combinations. If you like having lots of sentiments to choose from for your cards, you will want this stamp set. Not to mention a few images of flowers and foliage to stamp. Then there are the Timeless Arrangements Dies to cut out lots of botanical shapes and labels. To save 10%, buy the Bundle of both the stamp set and dies.

This card base is Petal Pink with a layer of Basic White cardstock. For all the diecuts, I just chose an assortment of colors of cardstock scraps, such as Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party….whatever you like! The greeting is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink on one of the labels in the Timeless Arrangements Dies. I just used a lot of Stampin’ Seal adhesive on the back of the label and added the die cuts, adding more adhesive as the back of the label got covered up, just trying to make a pleasing combination. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the label and foliage to pop it up in the middle of the card front.

For something a little different and festive, I splattered a little Wink of Stella around the front of the card before adhering it to the card base. Just tap the brush on the lid so it will splatter randomly around on the card piece. Of course, one blog had to land on the word “brightest” of the greeting! But it is fairly clear, so it’s okay. Then I also took a Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend marker and flicked the brush tip against the inside of the marker cap. You wouldn’t want to do this a lot and ruin the tip of the marker, though! The marker ink and the Wink of Stella are very splattered in very small splatters around on the card so it’s actually barely noticeable.

For a little more sparkle, I added some Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, in pink, blue, and gold. If you don’t want to splatter anything, you can leave that step out and still have a beautiful card. I was just in the mood! Sequins or rhinestones, though, are always a nice final touch!

Remember, Stampin’ Up! Bonus Coupons are continuing for a little over a week so be sure you shop before it ends. With every $50 you spend, you earn a $5 coupon to spend in August.

Hello Friend Zoo Crew Card

Leave a reply
Hello Friend Zoo Crew Card

This Hello Friend Zoo Crew Card turned out pretty cute, I think! I just recently saw a card made like this one and I’ve had fun making a couple. It is very easy to make.

The card base of Pool Party cardstock is cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Instead of scoring it in the middle, score each end at 2 3/4″. Crease on those score lines being careful that the two ends line up as perfectly as possible in the middle.

I added a piece of the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper to each flap to decorate the card. Each one measures 4″ x 2 1/2″.

For the focal point of the card, I diecut a scalloped rectangle using the Scalloped Contours Dies. in Pool Party cardstock. Then I added a rectangle of Basic White cut to fit inside the rectangle. On this piece, I stamped the “hello friend” greeting using matching stamps in the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. Usually, I use one word in block letters and one in script letters, but for this card, I just used both cursive words. The words are stamped with Memento Ink.

Next, I diecut this cute beaver holding the balloons using the Zany Zoo Dies. I colored him with Pecan Pie Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends with a little Crumb Cake on his face and belly. I love using the Stampin’ Blends to color. I just glued him to the greeting using Multipurpose Liquid Glue being careful that anything that wouldn’t be on the rectangle wouldn’t have glue on the back of it. Then I glued on the greeting rectangle, making sure the glue was only applied on the side that would be on the left flap of the card.

For a finishing touch, I adhered three Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in each color to the greeting for a little glimmer. I will add a layer of Basic White cardstock inside the card on which to stamp a greeting or write a personal message, although I could just use the Pool Party since it is a light enough color.

This is basically an easy card to make. You could cut a circle or just a rectangle or square of any size for the focal point of the card if you didn’t have dies to use or a punch.

Today is the day! Look through the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and see what stamp sets you haven’t bought yet that you like! There are so many to choose from! Every time I look through the catalog I see something new. Maybe you need more sentiments! Some are funny, some are traditional, some have different fonts or sizes, and some are mostly for certain occasions, like a new baby!

Only the individual stamp sets are on sale, not Bundles. Do the math. It is likely that the Bundle is still cheaper than buying the stamp set separately and then the dies. If the dies or punches aren’t available right now, maybe you want to go ahead and get just the stamps on the sale.

I do not believe the Online Exclusives are on the sale, only the stamp sets actually IN the Annual Catalog are on sale (except the Host sets, which are on page 172.)

Remember, the Bonus Coupons are available to be earned during the sale. With every $50 you spend (before tax and shipping), you will earn a $5 coupon to spend in August. Keep in mind, it will be the total of the stamp sale prices, not the regular prices, that need to add up to $50. Of course, you can order anything you want tomorrow, along with any stamp sets.

Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card

Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card

I hadn’t used this beautiful designer series paper in a while, so I looked through the papers, and out came this Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card. You never know what will happen when you go to make a card.

This card uses two different patterns in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used one for a background layer and the brighter floral for the front of the card. I used Boho Blue cardstock, one of the newest current In Colors 2023-2025 for the card base and the layer under the floral paper and under the greeting.

This card base is cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″ with a fold at the top instead of the side. You can make it however you like. The designer paper directly on the card base is 5 1/4″ x 4″. The floral paper on the front is cut at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ with the Boho Blue layer underneath cut at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.

Before adhering the floral layer, tie a piece of ribbon around the designer paper and then adhere a separate bow with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. I could have used my Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to match the other Boho Blue I used on the card, but I thought the Night of Navy ribbon stood out a little better and matched the Night of Navy flowers on the paper. You could pop up this whole layer if you wanted to. I adhered mine flat on the card front but I considered using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

The greeting is from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set and stamped in Boho Blue ink. I considered several choices for diecutting the greeting but chose the Something Fancy Dies. I could use one cut out in Boho Blue to layer under the Basic White diecut greeting. We don’t always have something to layer underneath a greeting to help it stand out, but with these dies I did! To finish the card, I added two Boho Blue 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the greeting.

You could make this same card using different designer paper so give this Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card a try!

Quick and Easy Masterfully Made Cards

When you are looking for an easy card design, try these Quick and Easy Masterfully Made Cards. All you need is a card base and the beautiful and fun Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.

This 12″ x 12″ designer series paper gives you the look of texture of torn pieces of paper or handpainted designs without you having to do all the work! Some of the papers are entirely designed with torn pieces of paper of different patterns and you can even add your own real texture by tearing some edges you add to the card as I did on this card.

These two cards are just made by cutting a piece of the designer paper with these flowers and stems and some newsprint in the background. The paper is cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″. The card base is Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the card on the right and the card on the left is Melon Mambo. They practically look the same but I wanted to try both colors.

All you need is a piece of this designer paper and a greeting! Both greetings are in the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. The card on the left with the Fresh Freesia greeting is die cut with the narrow die in the Sending Dies set. The greeting on the right stamped on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock is diecut with the angled banner in the Something Fancy Dies.

If you wanted to, you could add some sparkly embellishments like rhinestones or sequins, but you can also just leave it as is to keep it quick and easy!

Remember, with every $50 you spend at Stampin’ Up! during the month of July, you will receive a $5 coupon to spend on Stampin’ Up! merchandise in August!

Cheerful Daisies Just For You Card

Cheerful Daisies Just For You Card

My mind ran through several different card ideas before I spied this green daisy paper in the Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper and made this Cheerful Daisies Just For You Card. There was something about the colors on this sheet of paper that really caught my eye. And that’s how coming up with a card goes! You may think you have an idea but it changes, or you don’t have any idea but you do come up with something once you see just the right thing you want to use!

From the designer paper, I chose Garden Green cardstock for the card base and Crushed Curry for a layer because of all the yellows in the daisies.

As luck would have it, I found quite a few die-cut daisies in a little pile of unused die-cut pieces on my table. Some were just die-cuts but there were some stamped and diecut daisies. That’s where I got this daisy which I thought would look good against all the daisies on the designer paper. The daisy is stamped from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and with a Crushed Curry center. To stamp the center of the flower, I stamped it several times with the flower center stamp, but I stamped off each time first on scrap paper before stamping the center of the flower. You can get the stamp set and matching dies in the Cheerful Daisies Bundle and save 10%.

I thought the big diecut daisy needed something to help set it off from the busy background. I used the label die in the Cheerful Daisies Dies in Crushed Curry, then stamped a greeting in the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set off to the side of that label in Memento ink.

Before assembling the card and layers, I wrapped around a piece of the burlap ribbon in the Real Red and Burlap Combo Pack Ribbons. I also tied a knot around the ribbon.

After the ribbon was added around the designer paper layer and all the layers glued together, I adhered the greeting flat on the card and then popped up the daisy with Stampin’ Dimensionals®. I stamped some leaves in Garden Green ink and stamped off the ink on some others. Instead of die-cutting, I simply grabbed my Paper Snips and cut them out by hand, then adhered the leaves either flat or with Dimensionals.

This was an easy card to make and perfect for summertime to send to a friend! On the inside, you can add a layer of Basic White with some stamped daisies or diecuts, or even a strip of designer paper for a decoration.

Here is a very similar card that I had forgotten about, made with a different pattern of designer paper but the same ribbon and a different greeting.

Remember, with each $50 purchase (before shipping and tax) during the month of July, you will earn a $5 coupon to spend on more product in August! It’s called Bonus Days at Stampin’ Up!
