Let’s make a card!
Today’s Card Parts And Pieces
I cut a Basic White cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″.
The Fresh Freesia cardstock mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
Isn’t this Designer Series Paper pretty? It reminds me of something out of Monet’s Garden! I love the colors.
I cut the Designer Series Paper layer 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The Basic White “notebook page” layer is 3″ x 4″. I used dies from the Gorgeously Made Die to cut both the notebook top edge and “torn” bottom edge.
I stamped three images from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set. The first lettered image is stamped off once using Azure Afternoon ink. The second linear image is stamped off once using Berry Burst ink. The third “spray” image is stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I didn’t stamp off this image.
I die cut the large leaf image with a die from the Bundle and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
The Fresh Freesia sentiment layer is also a die cut from the Bundle. I stamped “hello” with Pretty Peacock ink.
For a little sparkle, I scattered a few Pretty Peacock sequins.
All the layers are attached with glue. The sentiment is attached with Dimensionals.
Below is a look at a few color combinations you can mix with this DSP pattern.
So, pull out your Gorgeously Made Suite, stamp a few images, experiment with colors, cut a few layers, add a little sparkle and create something fun to say “hello”!

Here’s some Clean & Simple weekend inspiration for you.
The Inked & Tiled Bundle was still on my craft table when I sat down to make a card for my weekend post. I decided to create a CAS card (Clean And Simple) with the images from the stamp set. Of course, Wild Wheat had to be in the mix. I imagined it with the leaf spray image. It’s an amazing color. I paired it with Moody Mauve and Gray Granite.
Gray Granite softened the look of the card and I wanted a clean look.
Today’s Card Pieces & Parts
Take a look at the image above. I punched the sentiment banner using the Inked & Tiled Punch. The sentiment is stamped with Gray Granite ink. Once stamped, I cut the ends off the punched image and created the sentiment banner. It’s size worked so well for a Clean and Simple sentiment.
I cut a Basic White top fold card base 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.
The offset Wild Wheat cardstock layer is 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
I cut the top Basic White stamped layer 3 3/4″ x 5″.
The ssentiment is attached with Mini Dimensionals.
I formed a bow using Gray Granite Baker’s Twine.
A few 2023-2025 In Color Dots finished the card.
A CAS card is Clean And Simple – It has lots of white space, minimal or no layers and minimal embellishments. I love to create with layers, and love to add lots of elements to my cards, but to me, a CAS card is always eye=catching. This quick and easy design can take you to many of the stamps you already have. So, remember…

Today’s card is a CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) from the Annual Catalog. The catalog card is a Slimline card. My card is an A-2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″), and I changed the sentiment and sentiment focal point punched layers by using different patterns from the Inked Botanicals 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I was attracted to the Inked Botanicals Suite as soon as I saw it. I especially love the images and clean sentiment fonts in the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set. This Suite includes a stamp and punch Bundle. The punches caught my eye also. There are a lot of fun projects you can complete with these punches. Who doesn’t love a unique punch Bundle?
Today’s Card Pieces & Parts
You can download the PDF Tutorial below for more pictures and details on putting this card together.
I cut a Very Vanilla cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
The Crushed Curry patterned paper layer is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. It covers the card front.
The Lost Lagoon patterned paper layer is 5 1/4″ x 2 1/2″.
The top Very Vanilla cardstock layer is 4 1/2″ x 3″.
The stamped images are stamped off once using Lost Lagoon, Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral ink.
I punched two “star” shapes directly from the Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment, stamped with Lost Lagoon ink, is punched with the “star” shaped punch.

I love the colors in the Inked Boanicals Designer Series Paper. Although I’ve used three colors, Pool Party and Petal Pink (the lighter versions of Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon), give a more subtle look to the Suite’s color palette.
Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper
I just realized something about todsy’s colors… Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral are “Complementary Colors” (they’re opposite on the Color Wheel), along with a “yellow” (Crushed Curry). Here’s the rule: When in doubt, go with a yellow”! It works!
OK, I promise, no more rules!
So, pull out that fabulous Product Suite, stamp some pretty botanical images, add a layered sentiment cluster and a beautiful ribbon, and create something to say “hello” to a treasured friend!

Needing inspiration, I went to my new Stampin’ Up! Color Coach. I’ve kept the Color Coach at hand in my craft space year after year, and I refer to them often. I knew I wanted to frame something with the Radiating Stitches Dies, but couldn’t make a decision on what I would frame.
I just received the 2023-2024 Subtles Collection 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The Lost Lagoon polka dot pattern was my choice. I would frame the polka dots! But how? Out came my Color Coach. I checked the colors that coordinated with Lost Lagoon. In a quick second, I had a vision for my card. Lost Lagoon would be my primary color, and I would add Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock to my design.
2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Color Coach
You can CLICK HERE to download a copy of the new Color Coach. I printed mine on white cardstock, cut the cards apart and attached them to the corresponding cardstock color. Each cardstock piece measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. By the way, Stampin’ Up! put the colors in rainbow order for us.
I added a Lemon Lolly heart just because I love Lemon Lolly, and I know a common color rule… “when in doubt, go with a yellow.” It’s true!
Today’s Card Pieces And Parts
My Lost Lagoon cardstock card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
The Basic White mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
I used the largest Radiating Stitches frame to die cut the top Lost Lagoon layer.
The polka dot patterned paper layer is 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. It fits the center of the frame.
I stamped and fussy cut the “happy” and “hello” sentiments with Pretty Peacock and Calypso Coral ink.
The sentiments are from the Biggest Wish stamp set. It’s staying with us. Yay!
The Radiating Stitches heart is die cut using Lemon Lolly cardstock.
The heart and sentiments are attached to the card front with Dimensionals.
I embellished with a few yellow gems I had from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.
So, when in doubt, go to the Color Coach, die cut a frame, add a large sentiment and a pretty yellow heart, and create something to send a “happy hello”.
