Hello Pastel Ferris Wheel

 

I made this card for my daughter who loves pastel colors! I have a white base and a piece of the Beach Broadwalk DSP with a pastel print on top. I cut a white wheel from the Boardwalk Fun dies and and the seats in Petal Pink, Pretty In Pink and Pool Party card stocks from the same dies. I also cut the starburst in the center with those dies in Pretty In Pink and Pool Party. I added some holograghic sequins to each seat and the middle. I then cut the Pretty In Pink ticket with the dies and the sentiment stamped with the Boardwalk Fun set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in white powder and a heat tool.  

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stoping by!

You're Gold

 

I made this card for my daughter for St Patrick's Day coming up next month. I used the Painted Illusions DSP on my white base. I then cut a Branching Out white die along with a Granny Apple Green one.

I stamped the gold in VersaMark ink along with the sentiment and heat embossed it with the heat tool and the gold embossing powder. I finished it off with some gold sparkle gems. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Love For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we’re speaking the Language of Love! If you’re craving inspiration and a good excuse to break out your favorite craft supplies, you’re in the right place. This hop is all about sharing the love through handmade cards and paper crafts, and the Pals can’t wait to inspire you with beautiful creations made using Stampin’ Up! products.

This is made with love as well as for someone I love! I think this is a double z fold card but I got the idea/specs from my friend and fellow Pal, Brian King! He created a card in beautiful shades of orange but I went with my fav color-Purple! Fresh Freesia to be precise! I have a base in white card stock cut 4.25" by 11" and scored on long side at 2.75" and 5.5".  For the inside, I have a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock cut at 4" by 5.25" plus I added the next white fold cut at 3.5" by 8.25" and scored at 3.5" on the long side. The front of this fold, I have used Lovely & Beautiful DSP cut in a 3.5" square. 

The front fold has another DSP print and then a strip of Fresh Freesia card stock cut 1.75" by 3.75". I cut a gold foil circle with the Stylish Shapes dies and then cut two white flowers from the Simply Beautiful dies. I blended them both with Fresh Freesia ink but one lighter than the other with my blending brush. I cut a gold foil center then stamped the sentiment from the Banner Sayings set in Fresh Freesia ink on a white banner punched from the Triple Banner punch. I finished with some pink pearlized faceted gems.    

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop from blog to blog and soak up every lovely, heart-filled idea along the way. And don’t stop there! Next month we’re celebrating all things Birthday Celebrations, and it’s going to be a party you won’t want to miss.

Sending My Love

 

This card is using more from the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit called Special Delivery. I made this for my daugther who loves blue and i thought she would love the blue roses! 

I stamped three of them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored them with my Stampin Blends markers in Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue and Mossy Meadow. I hand-snipped them out and popped them on the pre cut die plus the base in Blueberry Bushel ran through with the Forever Plaid embossing folder. I then stamped the sentiment from Banner Sayings on a white precut die in Blueberry Bushel ink. 

I finished it off with some Blueberry Bushel gems!

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

More Paper Pumpkin Alternates With Special Delivery

 

I played some more with the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit called Special Delivery and made these two cards! The first card, I used a quarter sheet of Strawberry Slush card stock and added the smaller white folded piece in the kit to the front. I blended some Strawberry Slush ink on the top with my blending brush. I then added the pre cut images and turned one over to add the sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink with the sentiment from the kit. I finished it with some Strawberry Slush gems and a double white twine bow. 

For the second one, I used the Bubble Bath base provided from the kit as well as all the other pieces. I stamped the sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink and finished with some Bubble Bath gems. 

Hope you have a blessed Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day Tag

 

I made a cute & quick Valentine's Day tag for my son's chocolate bag! He is a chocoholic like me and I found some awesome chocolate goodies for him. It just needed a cute tag! I used the Creative Haven dies to cut a Real Red tag with a slit in the top for my braided linen trim in Real Red and the small piece of  Petal Pink ribbon. I stamped the honeycomb image on the tag in Real Red ink from the retired Bee My Valentine stamp set. I used this same set to stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink on a white heart punch. I then punched from the Bee My Valentine punch in Petal Pink card stock and stamped with images from same set in Real Red ink. I added some holorgram gems for some bling to finish it off. 

Hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP771 Love For Her

 

This is my Valentine's Day card for my daughter and a great Valentine for Claire's theme over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week.  I used the same items as yesterday's card from the Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin kit in January 2026 but with Bubble Bath colors instead of Real Red. I have a Bubble Bath card base and a layer of the die cut from the kit with the letters cut from the same color card stock from the Party Alphbet dies. Before placing the letters, I blended some Lemon Lime Twist ink with my blending brush (not showing up good in photos). I stamped the sentiment from the kit on the white banner punch in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the flowers from the kit in the same black ink on white card stock and colored them with the Lemon Lime Twist, Bubble Bath and light Flirty Flamingo Stampin Blends markers. I then hand snipped them out to pop on the letters. I finished with some pink gems.

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

I have a Very Vanilla base and a layer of Coastal Cabana card stock with a strip of the Hobby Haven DSP. I then cut a Label Me Grateful die in Basic Beige card stock to add the punched out images on. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink from the Banner Sayings set on Very Vanilla card stock and then punched it out with the Banner Sayings punch.

Missing You With Hobby Haven DSP

 

I am back making cards as of the last few days. I had put all away after finishing my Christmas projects back in early December and now ready to play with some new items I got in the late fall and some coming this week from the new spring mini catty! For the next few days, I have cards I have made for my daughter whom I miss like crazy as she has gone back to school up north! I am using the Hobby Haven DSP which has 10 full sheets of DSP and two pages of punch out images. I have gone with the books here and a Coastal Cabana base. I then layered with Early Espresso card stock and a layer of the DSP. I used the punched out images arranged on a Coastal Cabana die cut with the Branching Out dies. I then stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock from the Regal Flora set in Early Espresso ink and used the Banner Sayings punch to punch out and pop on. I finished with some metal gems and it went in the mail yesterday to my girl! 

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
