This card idea is actually very versatile and I’ve seen several of these online and in some swaps that I’ve received. It is a great idea for using up scraps of your Designer Paper. Pick your paper, coordinating card stock, a greeting and a fun little element to add as an accent. You could use this for all different occasions.
I created this one with the Love Blossoms Designer Paper Stack and Bloomin’ Love stamp set.
Use the 1″ Square Punch to punch out squares from the various patterns in the Designer Paper stack. Arrange in a grid on a piece of coordinating card stock. Add a greeting punched with the Decorative Label (or other) punch.
Here is another one that is a Thank You card:
This one uses the Pretty Petals paper stack from the annual catalog and the Endless Thanks stamp set. The flowers in the stamp set coordinate with the patterns in the paper.
I think next I’m going to create a birthday card in this same design. What kind of card do you want to make with your paper scraps?
Thanks for stopping by today!

I received this sweet card as a Thank you from Andrea at Stampin’ Up! for being a presenter at the Tampa OnStage event in November.
It’s a sweet note card that uses the Helping Me Grow stamp set in the Occasions Catalog.
I love the little notch in the edge – use a small circle punch – that holds the Baker’s Twine. Thank you Stampin’ Up! for giving me the opportunity!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve played along with any of the challenges that are out there. Every day there are demos from all over the world doing various challenges. I used to play along with a few but haven’t really done it in a long time. Some of my friends have started a new challenge group and I finally decided to play along with one. It’s and interesting one – not the normal challenge that most sites have. This one limits you to only certain supplies and you can’t go outside of that – there is a “basket” that you have to use a certain number of items from and then a “pantry” that you can pull from if you need to.
This basket of supplies was really not what I would normally pull from – the colors are not the norm for me. But hey it was a challenge and I was up for it. I did begin to realize that what I was seeing is that we were limited to Whisper White card stock (from the pantry) – well gold foil was an option too but I didn’t use any. Here is the basket of supplies:
We had to use at least 4 – I used the Hello You Thinlits, Work of Art stamp set and the Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss ink.
It turned out to be a very clean card – with all that white. I cut the “thanks” from the Hello You thinlits and then cut off the ‘s’. I actually cut two of them. One I placed on the card from and then stamped over it with the big swoosh from Work of Art and the Blushing Bride ink – it left a white “frame” around where the word was. I took that one off and used the second one and stamped it with the other swoosh and Blackberry Bliss ink – I covered almost all of it but if you look really close there are tiny white spots still visible. I cut thin slivers of dimensionals (adhesive is in the pantry) to put on the back and adhere it into the “framed” space. I decided to tie a little piece of White Bakers Twine (also from the pantry) on my word. I stamped the “you” from Work of Art and then layered the white piece on a Whisper White card base. That was all of it.
You can find this Tuesday Throw Down challenge here if you want to play along too. Now to save my post and then go link it up on the challenge.
Here are the supplies that I used:

Here is a Fall Thank You card with a fun little technique that is perfect for the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.
To create the stamped image ink the stamp with the Crushed Curry ink. Then use a sponge dauber and the Pumpkin Pie ink to add color directly around the word. This leaves you with the outer edges of the stamped image in the Crushed Curry color and the words in the darker Pumpkin Pie color. You could try different combinations of colors to get a different effect. Then cut the image out with the Oval framelit dies to add to the front of the card.
The card base is Crumb Cake with an additional layer of Crumb Cake that has been embossed with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder. Adding Baker’s Twine, the branch underneath and the gold button finish off the card.
Here is a full supply list for you with links to my online store.

Thanks for stopping in today. Have you tried this technique? It was one that they showed us at convention.

As you look through the Stampin’ Up! catalog each year there are certain pages that catch your eye more than others. Sometimes you don’t even notice a stamp set on the page because the colors and projects on that page don’t catch your eye. And the next year that same stamp set is presented differently and you see it – you thinks its new – but it isn’t – it was already there last year but presented in a way that didn’t appeal to you. Do you ever feel that way?
In this new catalog one page that really catches my eye is page 163 – I love the blue, the brown, the natural feel of what is on that page. Mosaic Madness was in the last catalog and presented in a different way with bright colors and a coordinating designer paper very graphic and bright. It wasn’t my favorite. But I LoVE this soft card on page 163 so I decided I wanted to recreate it. Mine has a few changes but is generally the same card.
We made this back in August as part of my Big Shot class. We used the Modern Mosaic Textured embossing folder for the background. And by the way this pattern is very popular out in fashion/decor – I’ve seen it a lot. Plus we used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit – it makes the cutest little butterflies! And of course the stamp set and coordinating punch. Some water-coloring with an aqua-painter, a little pearl bling, and a sentiment on a vellum strip. A nice card don’t you think?
I’m so glad you stopped by today. Do you try to recreate any of the cards in the catalog – let me know by leaving a comment?

The Big Shot special this month includes a free bundle of a stamp set and coordinating Framelits when you purchase a Big Shot. Or you can get the bundles at a discount. This card uses one of those bundles and has been very popular at my classes this month.
I used the Floral Framelits and the Daydream Medallion and the colors are Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede.
I’m trying to post from my phone so we shall see how this works.
