Happy Saturday!
Today’s post is simple and casual. This is a thank you card I created for one of my customers. I hope the sunflower and the colors will make her smile.
I’ve been putting a lot of mileage on the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle lately. This is just another sample of how versatile this Bundle is.
The “Thank You” sentiment stamp is from the Love of Leaves stamp set. I wanted something small so not to take any attention from the patterned paper and sunflower medallion.
Now, I want to talk about this Designer Series Paper. It gives the card a certain degree of “casual” and that’s what I wanted to accomplish. This is a good example of how color and pattern affect the “mood” of your project. I know I’ve talked about this before, but you have no idea what I think about when I’m creating a card. I go in all sorts of directions with an idea and when I eventually get that “Aha” moment, I go with it. Since I’ve created a new craft studio, I don’t throw my DSP on the floor to search for inspiration any more, but I do toss it all over my crafting table. As soon as I saw this Misty Moonlight pattern, I knew I had my card design.
This DSP is one of those patterns that has lots of texture which can really set the tone of the project. To me, it looks like a patch of denim. The Bumblebee dotted layer works well with the “denim” look since there is a pattern repeat. I’m sure the artists over at Stampin’ Up! knew that way before me!
Both the Bumblebee dotted layer and the Misty Moonlight layer are from the 2020-2022 In Colors 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper pack. Each year, when Stampin’ Up! releases their new “In Colors” I’ve always purchased the Designer Series Paper. It becomes a “must have” staple in my paper stash.
So, grab your patterned paper, crop a large sunflower and create something simple and casual.

Happy Friday and I have a surprise today!
One of my Team members, Georgia Egan, designed and created today’s project. It is stunning and once again, pardon my photography.
What amazed me most about this card is that it looks as though Georgia toiled for hours to get this look. Well, she didn’t! This is a quick and easy card if there ever was one. The Poinsettia Petals Bundle, the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and Red, Green and Gold Foil Sheets did all the work. The textured Plush Poinsettia Special Paper background layer gives this card even more elegance. Notice the embossed details in the poinsettia flower and leaves.
Georgia attached the poinsettia petal layers meticulously with Multipurpose Glue. The leaves and berry twigs are perfectly placed and tucked under the flower with Mini Glue Dots.
When you look closely at Georgia’s card, you see how balanced her elements are. She kept the gold foil berry sprigs pretty close to both the top and bottom edges of the card. By doing that, the Poinsettia flower is perfectly placed. The Merry Christmas sentiment banner is also nicely placed with just about the same distance from the bottom of the card as it is from the right side of the card. Georgia used the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Brightly Gleaming stamp set and stamped it in Real Red ink.
I would love to be the recipient of this beautiful card.
So get out your Poinsettia Petals Bundle, add a few gleaming sprigs and some plush paper and create something classically Christmas!

Oh what Fun! Today’s card was a snap to put together and so much fun to play with all the colors. I was clueless as to what to create for today’s post. The Playing With Patterns DSP was on the corner of my desk so I looked at every pattern and found my inspiration. This piece of patterned paper screamed “Curvy Celebrations” to me! The Playing With Patterns DSP is 15% off now through October 31st. Details are below.
I cut the DSP into strips and ran each one through my cutting machine with the Curvy Dies. Layering my cropped strips was easy since I followed the color pattern in the Designer Series Paper. Calypso Coral and Night of Navy is another favorite color combination of mine. They both popped out on the patterned paper, so I used Calypso Coral as my card base and Night of Navy for my sentiment.
I really love how this card turned out. This is a cute project for a masculine birthday or a child’s birthday. Make a few to have on hand for just about any celebration. That’s exactly what I intend to do.
The new Quite Curvy Variety Bundle is being released on November 3rd. I love the versatility and product coordination of this Bundle and you will, as well. Quite Curvy Variety Bundle products cannot be purchased individually during the early release. They will be available separately in the January 2021 Mini Catalog.
So, pull out some colorful Designer Series Paper, crop a few curvy layers, and create something fun!
