I love babies and kids! That is probably why I have had a daycare for over 32 years. LOL When I saw this stamp set in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog I knew it had to be on my first order. I have a little angel that when she comes in every morning, she is a different animal. Her two favorite animals to be are the lion and bear. So, this stamp set was perfect for when her little sister was born.
This card may look a little familiar to you, it is on page 55 in the annual catalog. When I made the card, I was actually making it for a dual purpose. I made it for my new little angel, but I also made one for my catalog kick off. I wanted to share the Wildly Adorable stamp set with everyone, but I also wanted to share that you can get a lot of inspiration, ideas, tips or to case (create and share everything) a card from the catalog.
I am not sure who the creator of this card is, but I love it and so did my daycare family.
It's the weekend! I hope all of you have a great Friday and a fun and relaxing weekend. Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by.
Sending lots of love and hugs to everyone!
Happy Stampin!

When I posted my first Corner Fold Gift Card Holder card, I was asked how did I make it and did I have a tutorial. So, I decided to do a Facebook live last night on my Stampin Scrapper page to share with all of you on how to make this card. On this card I used the beautiful Sweet As A Peach stamp set, Peach dies and the You're A Peach designer series paper.
On the inside of the card, I added a 1/2" strip of designer series paper on the left hand side of the Basic White paper.
I just love how the gift card fits perfectly in the holder.
On the peaches, flowers and leaves I added Wink of Stella to add a little bit of sparkle to my card. I used the gorgeous Pale Papaya Sheer Weave ribbon, which I cut in half, to make a triple bow.
Here is the Facebook Live video that I made last night. Oh my goodness, I was having a rough night. LOL You will see in the video that I made a couple of mistakes, we all do, but I show you how to fix them. I also share with you tips on how to do the shading on the peaches, flowers and leaves. You get a 2 for 1 bonus today!
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

When you participate in my In Color Collection Club, each month, for 5 months, you get products in one of the new in colors in the annual catalog. You also get a card that I made using the featured color for that month. I always have so much making these cards and coming up with ways to use different products in one color. In May, our color was Soft Succulent and this is the card I made the participants.
I used the Color & Contour bundle in the annual catalog on page 98 for the flowers and sentiment. I then cut out the sentiment using a die from the Painted Labels dies. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers and added the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels for some bling. I finished off the card by making a double bow with the Soft Succulent Open Weave ribbon.
On the inside of the card and on the envelope I stamped a flower. You never want to send out a naked envelope. LOL
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Soft Succulent
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

I wouldn't have thought I would like a card made with just the color of Soft Succulent, but I do. You could use this card for any occasion, just change the sentiment.
Thank you for taking time out of your day and stopping by today! I really appreciate it.
Sending lots of love and hugs to all of you!

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! I love being a part of this wonderful blog hop with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world. Each month we share different crafting ideas with all of you! This month our theme is our favorite suite in the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog.
I was wondering, or should I say hoping, if Stampin' Up! was going to have any new Christmas stamp sets and/or suites in the new annual catalog. When I saw the Tidings of Christmas suite on page 88 & 89, I was so excited. I start my Christmas card classes in August, so I am very happy that I will have new products to create with for my first class.
For my project this month, I wanted to make a Christmas card and gift card holder. I originally thought I would be making two different projects, but when I saw a corner fold card that was also a gift card holder onlline, I knew this was what I wanted to make. I don't know about you, but I give a lot of gift cards for birthdays, Christmas and other occasions, so this card design will be perfect.
This is the inside of the card without the gift card inside the pocket. Now you could see how I decorated the inside of the card, especially the backside of where the gift card goes. I love the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper. There are 12 different designs in the 6" x 6" pack, which gives you so many possibilities!
To decorate my card, I stamped the sentiment in Sahara Sand ink and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added a little bit of color with the cutouts from the Christmas Trimmings dies using Cherry Cobbler and Soft Succulent cardstock. I finished off the card by adding a bow made with the beautiful Chevron Weave ribbon in Evening Evergreen.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Cherry Cobbler:
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
scrap for 2 cutouts
Sahara Sand:
cut at 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Soft Succulent
scrap for leaves
Basic White
cut at 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"
cut 2 at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Tidings Of Christmas Designer Series Paper
cut at 2 1/8" x 2 1/8"
cut at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

In May I had my Create With Friends card class and one of the cards we made was this Let's Celebrate You card. I had originally made the card on the left, which I love. During my class I decided to flip the Hydrangea Hill designer series paper over and use the other side. I love them both, but I have to say, the one on the left is my favorite. Which one is yours?
This is a very simple card that you could easily make duplicates of it in no time at all.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Gorgeous Grape
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
cut at 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White
cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
cut at 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"
I added the Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon around the Basic White piece of card stock and tied a bow. I added three little dots to match the dots on the designer series paper.
If you like the designer series paper, get it now as it is on the Last Chance Sale for the Stampin' Up! mini catalog. The products on this Last Chance Sale are while supplies last.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great Friday and weekend.
Sending all of you lots of love and hugs.

When Emily's friend text me and asked if it was alright to have a couple's bridal shower for Jeff and Emily while I was in Texas I said "Sure!" She did such a beautiful job with everything. Her theme was Let's Taco 'bout Love. How cute is that! The decorations, games and food were so cute and delicious.
I saw this card online and knew that this was the card I wanted to make for the shower. I used some retired products on this card, but I wanted to stay with the theme of the wedding. Their colors are Powder Pink and Seaside Spray (both retired). I have so much paper and ribbon in both of the colors. LOL
I don't know how many times I tried to take the pictures of this card. For some reason the vellum is showing up gray and there is this bright light behind the flowers. It didn't matter which way I turned the card or adjusted my lights, it still had the glow behind the flowers. I really like the pictures, it was so different, so I kept them. I probably couldn't do this again if I tried. LOL
Here is a close up of the flowers. I used a sponge to put Powder Pink ink on a piece of white cardstock and then I punched out the flowers using the Small Bloom punch (which is retired). I also used the Forever Flourishing dies to cut out all the sprigs and leaves. I added pearls to the flowers and some around them bouquet. They look gray in the picture too, but they are white.
This card was made with lots of love and prayers. As I was making the card, which I had so much fun doing, I was praying for Emily and Jeff and their marriage. I can't wait to see Emily in her beautiful wedding gown in July. She is going to be absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a blessed Sunday and week. I am sending lots of love and hugs to everyone.

I made this fun fold card for my mom for her birthday and she loved it! The Pansy Petals suite on pages 28-29 in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog is just beautiful! I did make this card while the Stitched Shapes dies were still available, but you could easily just cut the squares.
This card looks like it is difficult to make, but it really isn't. I had so much fun making this fun fold card. My mom told me she still has it sitting up in her dining room. Yay! That's how I know she really likes it.
This is a picture of it laying down so you can see a little better how it is cut.
I put a piece of paper on the back of the card so you can put a little note on it if you want to.
I am in love with the Pansy Petals suite. The paper is simply gorgeous, the colors are so beautiful and bright. I love that you can use the Pansy dies to cut out some of the designer series papers, which I did for this card.
Look how adorable the little butterfly is. It is so popular that is is not available right now. Stampin' Up! is suppose to get more in the end of May beginning of June.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you are having a great Monday and week.
Sending lots of love and hugs.
Happy Stampin!
