Stampin' Up! In Color fun fold birthday card ideas - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Lovely Lipstick has been one of my favorite In Colors. I paired it with another retiring favorite, the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, for this fun fold birthday card.

However, when we say Goodbye to one set of In Colors, we say Hello to another! The 2020-2022 In Colors are gorgeous!!!!! Here’s another version of today’s fun fold card using the new Misty Moonlight In Color with one of my favorite new Designer Series Papers, Flowers For Every Season.

Here’s a look at the different patterns in this beautiful new DSP (available June 3rd).

I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers for the sentiments for this one. This set has coordinating dies too! I love the celebrate sentiment as it can be used for so many different occasions. I fussy cut the DSP to add some flowers on the back of the card too.

P is for Party Pandas… Plus a Paper Pumpkin Promotion!

March 14, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

Welcome to my ABC “Sale-A-Bration” Series! This series showcases products from the 2018 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochures. The Party Pandas are just adorable! I have had so much fun playing with this stamp set! There’s only two weeks left of Sale-A-Bration and your chance to get this stamp set for FREE! Today’s card is for someone who has a special St. Patrick’s Day birthday!

Stampin Up Party Pandas Celebrate card idea for birthday or St. Patrick's Day - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I just know she is going to enjoy the chocolate balloon Mr. Panda is delivering! I used The Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper and the Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (both from the Occasions catalog). Here’s my card details:

Card Base: 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White scored at 5 1/2

Layer: 4 x 5 1/4 Tranquil Tide (embossed with Celebrations Duo Embossing Folder)

DSP Layer: 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper

Glimmer Strip: 1/4 x 5 1/4

I stamped the Party Panda on the DSP layer and Whisper White cardstock with Basic Black Ink. I fussy cut the Whisper White one and adhered on top of the DSP. (Oops! I noticed I need to clean up my glue before I send this!) I used the 1 1/2 Circle Punch to punch the balloon through both layers.

I adhered the layer to my card base then attached the candy with a glue dot. I will send this is a bubble wrap envelope but I still decorated the card envelope to match.

D is for DSP

February 23, 2018May 13, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 19 Comments

Welcome to my ABC “Sale-A-Bration” Series! This series showcases products from the 2018 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochures. Today is all about one of my new favorite Designer Series Paper (aka DSP), The Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. You can get this paper pack for FREE with a qualifying order. You get 12 sheets of 12 x 12 Spring-inspired paper with foil designs (3 each of 4 single-sided designs in Gold foil, Rose Gold foil. and Silver foil).

I have been enjoying some “coloring therapy” lately. I love my Stampin’ Blends and used them to color the beautiful designs on the DSP.

Both of these cards showcase simple layouts that you can use again and again with different DSP and sentiments.

Stampin Up Butterfly Basics stamp set and Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper Birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The sentiment on this card from Butterfly Basics. It is so versatile and can be used for birthday, Easter, Mother’s Day, Get Well, etc. I like the Powder Pink with the Rose Gold foil. The DSP measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 and the layer is 1/8″more. I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut and layer my stamped sentiment. I colored the flower from the DSP using Old Olive and Pink Pirouette Blends. I fussy cut it out and adhered with Stampin Dimensionals. Clean & Simple!

My next card showcases the other two patterns from this DSP as well as my favorite dies from Sale-A-Bration, Celebrate You.

Stampin Up Celebrate You Thinlits and Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper All Occasion Celebrate card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This is another clean & simple card design. It’s just 2 pieces of DSP ( 2 x 4) with a ribbon in the middle to cover the seam. (You could add a banner instead of the ribbon.) I love the Celebrate word die as it can be used for many different occasions. The silver foil die ties in with the foil in the DSP as well as the metallic ribbon. I added a couple of vellum punched leaves behind the sentiment.

I used the Pool Party Blends to color the leaves to tie in with the card base.

Here’s another version of this card. It could be for a wedding, shower, engagement, or anniversary. I added the die cut heart from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits and a couple of metallic enamel hearts. Quick & easy!

Previously, I shared some cards I colored using the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (another favorite of mine!). Click HERE to view.

Here’s a peek at all the new Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog.

It’s no secret that I love DSP! I actually did a whole alphabet series on DSP! Here are links to several posts I did that show how to cut 6 x 6 and 12 x 12 DSP to make the most use of your paper. *The first link takes you to my first alphabet series, ABC’s of Stampin’ (which is a great series for anyone new to stamping). It also shows how I organize my DSP.

D is for Designer Series Paper

B is for Blooms & Bliss DSP

D is for Dapper Denim DSP

O is for One Sheet Wonder with DSP

Y is for Shades of Yellow

If you want to view the whole alphabet series with DSP, go to categories and click ABC’s with DSP. It will start with Z and go backwards. *If you want to start with A, go to archives and begin at October 3, 2016.

Here’s another look at today’s cards. Do you have a favorite?
