Jul 10, 2018 | Big Shot, Cards, Demonstrator, Stampin' Up! Starter Kit |
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.
Supply List
- Perennial Birthday
- Window Box Thinlits
- Dapper Denim card stock (substitute a current blue if you don’t have this one)
- StazOn Jet Black Ink
- Calypso Coral ink
- Dapper Denim ink (substitute a current blue if you don’t have this one)
- Old Olive ink
- Shimmery White card stock
- Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
- Gold Metallic Thread
- Gold Faceted Gems
- Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
Fill this pretty box with yummy treats and give it to someone special – maybe gift it to a brand new recruit. Did you see the amazing special for new recruits? A free collection of brand new ink pads for everyone that joins in July. You can join my team and then join me in November at the OnStage Live event in Orlando – it is going to be amazing!

Jul 9, 2018 | Birthday, Designer Series Paper, Punch Board |
This week I’m going to be sharing ideas using the Perennial Birthday stamp set. This set was introduced in the Occasions Catalog as part of a project kit that included a box and the supplies to make a stack of birthday cards. The kit is no longer available but the stamp set was a great little set that I find myself using quite a bit. Today’s project is one that is featured in the annual catalog and was one of the project made by my friend Cindy who is now working for Stampin’ Up! She has the dream job!

This project uses the Gift Bag Punch board and the Neutrals Paper Stack to make a little gift bag. Color the white sheer ribbon with drops of reinker. In ink well or pad place 2-3 drops of reinker, add water from Aqua Painter to dilute and place ribbon into the well. Let dry overnight on paper towel before using.
Supply List
- Perennial Birthday stamp set
- Whisper White card stock
- Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack – Basic Gray paper
- Lemon Lime Twist ink
- Calypso Coral ink
- Mango Melody reinker
- 1/8″ sheer whisper white ribbon
- Silver & White Baker’s Twine
- Blossoms Elements
- Gift Bag punch board
- 1/8″ Handheld punch
- Everyday label punch
- Tear & Tape
- Mini Glue Dots

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.
Supply List
- Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper (part of July paper sale)
- Better Together stamp set
- Cajun Craze card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Cajun Craze ink
- Nature’s Twine
- Everyday Label Punch
Have a great weekend!

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.

Supply List
- Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack (part of the July sale)
- Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set
- Waterfront stamp set
- Early Espresso card stock
- Very Vanilla card stock
- Gray Granite card stock
- Classic Label punch
- Mossy Meadow ink
- Linen Thread
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
Enjoy the rest of your week. I think many people are on vacation so be safe as you travel back home. The paper sale is going on throughout the month of July.
