Birthday Celebration Wildflower Birthday Cake Celebrations Stampin' Up! C...


I obviously loved these bundles and paper since I made so many designs with them!

First up is this card that has an extra fold over added to a faux gatefold design. I loved adding a little more of the pretty paper on the inside. It uses the Cake Celebration online exclusive stamps with the Wildflower Birthday paper.


This card in a slightly different color way was my attempt at masculine. I enjoy the contrast with the weathered wood in the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.



This card uses the Cake Celebrations Die Cuts rather than the stamps. This gorgeous Pretty in Pink Gingham is on the back of one of the Wildflower Birthday patterned papers.

This Peach Pie colored card uses the tags from the Wildflower Birthday paper as a fold out instead of cutting them all apart. I just cut around the tag tops and scored on the lines between the tags to create this and attached it to just one side of my gatefold cardbase. Then a super narrow (3/4 inch) belly band to allow all the paper to show as much as possible and it was finished. SO simple!


I think it would be adorable to add a photo to some and little friendship sentiments on the inside paper folds (it has front and back) of this fold out.



There are so many die cut pieces in the Wildflower Birthday paper that I tried to not use them on this card to show some stamped options.

This card uses the Birthday Celebration Bundle with the Wildflower Birthday paper. The shiny gold heat embossed stamping is perfect with the gold accents in the paper and the die cut birthday numbers. I hope my friend doesn't see this before June! The banner die cuts really make a great focal point.

This card is a Band Stand Fun Fold. I believe it may have originated with Susan Campfield, and it is super popular right now. The simplicity and versatility make it a joyous Fun Fold to use!

I like the look of fussy cut pieces on the inside background and gold accents for a fun look with one of the great die cuts from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper.

This card features the numbers for a great 23rd birthday card for my daughter. 

Thanks for hopping by and reading!

Beautiful Butterflies Bundle Dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder Stampin Up...



The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle with hybrid embossing folder is versatile and varied. This Butterfly card stands on its own and would look super cute on any recipient's display table.  The butterflies are stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder on Lemon Lolly cardstock for visibility and a smooth shiny texture, and the Daffodil Delight dot embellishments on the antennae and the sentiment are from the Loose frosted dots.


(It looks like the dots aren't in the right place for the antennae, but we are just seeing other two antennae from the back side of the card.)

The Fun Fold design below was a card in an ad on Pinterest for the past several days when I pinned photos from videos. It was not made with Beautiful Butterflies, so I changed that of course. It was for sale, but actually didn't link anywhere, so I'm not sure what the problem was nor who to credit.

For class next week, I'm going to allow peeps to chose whether they use Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue or Lemon Lolly for the card base. I love to provide choices, so they will also choose whether they prefer a white background or a patterned paper background from the Beautiful Bokeh pack-shown below on the Balmy Blue card.


I love the color transition between Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral in the paper. If you love this crinkled taffeta, today (2/28/25) is the last day to choose it as a SaleABration reward.


Then, I used a Melon Mambo layer as a focal point for this black card made with the Full of Life paper. I wanted to show the butterflies with a different color scheme for fun.

Finally, this Calypso Coral card features the Embossing folder with the large butterfly cut out. I used a Blending Brush and Calypso Coral ink to highlight the same butterfly behind the die cut piece, added 2 smaller butterflies and the butterfly bodies and added the sentiment and embellishments.

Darling Dinos Bundle Birthday Welcome Baby Thank you Stampin Up Card Video


I love the intensity of this color combination: Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. These were all colored with Stampin' Blends.


I also used Stampin Blends on this card although the Dinos were stamped on Soft SeaFoam to reduce the amount of coloring needed. A softer color palette is still a lot of fun.


These little Dinos were colored with Blends and Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink were added to give them a girly vibe.

Finally on this baby card, both bright and soft colors were combined...You really can't go wrong whatever colors you choose!


It was a blast making these dinosaur Valentines for my work friends. I do a drawing for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day and let them pick their preferred candy when their name is drawn. I really enjoyed the "back side" of the Toadstool Garden SaleABration paper for Valentine's with the dinosaurs-the greens and pinks made it perfect!



The first and second treat holders are boxes. In the video, I showed dimensions and scoring for these.


This is just a wrap around with two open ends. Easy peasy, but still cute!


This candy treat was small enough that I was able to wrap the 6X6 paper around it and create a little bag with a stapled bottom for a different look.




Finally these Reese's hearts covers with the hole where it says Reese's were imagined by Kelli McConkey three years ago. I just used our Darling Dinos and Toadstool Garden paper to update.
