I’m back with another project using the Perennial Birthday stamp set. Apparently I’m not good at spelling the word Perennial – I have to look it up every time. So now I’ve added a book mark to my catalog for this week. This project is one I actually made earlier this year when this set came out in the Occasions Catalog. It’s still one of my favorite little boxes.
All the supplies are still available in our catalog except for the Dapper Denim card stock and ink that I used. But this could easily be changed to Night of Navy or even the new Blueberry Bushel. I water colored with an Aqua Painter to decorate the box and took my color combination from the kit box that the stamp set coordinated with.

I have a quick card for you today using the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper. It is one of the paper packs in the July sale. Last week I shared ideas using the Rooted In Nature bundle and those ideas also used this same pack of paper. It’s perfect for masculine, fall, and nature projects.
I used the Better Together stamp set for the greeting this time. When you are highlighting the Designer paper pair them up with greeting stamp sets for lots of options. The greeting was punched with the Everyday Label punch. Punch an extra label from Cajun Craze card stock and cut it half – attach each half to the back of the stamped label. The label is attached over some of the Mint Macaron Nature’s Twine.

I hope you had a grand 4th of July celebration with family and friends. Ours was quiet except for the fireworks outside from our neighbors. The dogs are so stressed by them that we stay home. This year I tried some new anxiety meds for them. It seemed to work well for Aspen, he just laid right next to me the whole night. But Magnolia was still stressed and Greg and I took turns trying to hold her to make her feel safe.
For my card today I’m featuring the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. This one is a 6×6″ stack of paper with a large variety of different types of wood on each side of the sheet. It’s a very popular paper pack and was the only one that carried over from our last annual catalog.
I used two stamp sets on this one – Waterfront for the trees and the Itty Bitty Greetings for the words. The words are stamped and the punched out with the Classic Label punch. To get the flagged ends use the same punch but stick each end back in from the side to create the banner.

I’ve been playing with the designer paper that I already have from the new catalog and making cards that focus on the paper. The card I want to share today uses the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper.
I focused on this green design that reminded me of some old wood or cardboard that was worn. Tranquil Tide and Soft Sea Foam are the main colors. This paper pack is part of the Tranquil Textures Suite but today I’ve paired it up with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and a couple of punches

It’s the month of July and it’s time for the much loved Designer Series Paper Sale from Stampin’ Up! Don’t feel sad about using your pretty paper stock up now with this offer to buy 3, get 1 free on a selection of papers in the brand new catalog. This week I’ll be showing ideas that feature our beautiful Designer Series paper. Just pair the paper with an all occasion greeting stamp set and you can hit all the different events, occasions and holiday’s throughout the year. I’m using the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set with most of my samples this week.
The Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper is so cute with all the different animals and prints. I wanted to use it to make a quick baby card. I used a 4×4″ square of the paper layered on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Choose a matching ribbon to tie around – I used the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon. For the tag I used two greetings from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and cut the words that I wanted to add to a little tag. It’s a super sweet and simple idea.

I hope you have enjoyed the Product of the Week focus on the Rooted In Nature Bundle. Today’s card is the one I featured in my Facebook Live video on June 29, 2018. In the video I showed several tips on how to use the Stamparatus to create this card.
The Stamparatus works beautifully with the large background stamps. It’s easy to get full coverage from the stamp because of the precision placement that the Stamparatus offers. In the video you can also see how to get a partial background image. I share some tips with using grid paper – I just cut up used full size sheets into 7-1/4″ squares to fit in my Stamparatus. This card also uses the Nature’s Twine – which is a little too thick for me, so I untwisted it into three strands and just used one for the card. If you didn’t watch live on my FB Page you can watch it below on my YouTube link.
And here is the video. If you are reading this in an email you may need to click through to my blog or YouTube to see the video. And while you are there be sure to sign up for my YouTube channel so you know when I post a new one.
