Today, Tomorrow, Always with Elegant Leaves

Happy Friday! This card uses a new stamp set from the September - December 2026 Catalog. I hope you enjoy looking. I used Basic Beige and Whisper White card stock. I used Basic Beige ink as well as Memento Black ink. 

The die cuts have a rectangular piece that looks like a “log”, and it only cuts the grooves of the “log”, but not the outside edges. So, I placed the die on one side of the Basic Beige card stock, then cut it three different times, (left to right) for the panel you see under the cut leaves on the left. Hope that makes sense. Simply line up the dies, then when you have the right width for your panel, use your Paper Trimmer to cut near the bottom, top and sides of the panel.

The layered leaves are easily cut using the outlined leaves and the textured veins glued right on top.

Wishing Happiness and Double Rewards!

Today’s card was inspired by a card on Pinterest. I loved the color combination that Jasmin Schulze used with the Splash & Relax stamp set. Here I created my own background using Hydrangea Hue ink on Hydrangea Hue Card Stock. I layered that onto a Calypso Coral card base. 

A Basic White Stylish Shape die cut is my focal point. I then adorned the circle with stamped and die cut items from the stamp set. I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue, Poppy Parade and Black Memento Inks.

I added some tiny Basic Rhinestones for a little bling. This would make a lovely birthday card or just a card to let someone know you are thinking of them.

Patriotic Thank You

Did you have a wonderful Independence Day? I did and my family that hosted rocked this one out of the park! I made this Thank You card to let them know I appreciate all of the effort they put in for this special celebration.

I used two retired stamp sets: The Free & the Brave (star background) and Service & Sacrifice (flag image). I added a sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The card stock colors I used were Real Red, Basic White and Blueberry Bushel.

I hope you enjoyed looking today! Please leave a comment so I know you were here! Have a great week.

Red, White and Blue Congratulations

Congratulations to a new military officer in 2026 as we celebrate America’s 250th Year of Freedom!

I used some very vintage Maritime Designer Series Paper. This paper dates from back when Stampin’ Up! used to put a little watermark on the corner of one side of every sheet of designer series paper. The Real Red and Night of Navy in this striped piece were perfect for this card and envelope. I simply cut between the Pool Party stripes to get this look.

The card front is decorated using the Online Exclusive Service Essentials Dies and Stamp Set. Those cute stars are the Wonderful Stars Puffy stickers, also an Online Exclusive. Too bad I didn’t experiment coloring them before placing them onto the card. They are nicely colored using any ink pad. You need to let them dry for a few hours. I didn’t have much luck coloring them with the Stampin’ Blends.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great week.
