You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Its always hard to say Goodbye to some well loved favorites! It helps when we can say Hello to some new beauties that will be available when the annual catalog debuts on June 3rd.

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.

I have used the Best Dressed Designer Series Papers on so many different projects! I love the floral prints! Here’s a look at some other projects I’ve made using these beautiful floral designs. (*I’ve posted the links below if you would like to view the original posts.)

The Perennial Birthday stamp set I used for the sentiments on today’s card will be retiring on June 2nd along with the beautiful Petal Pink Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Leaf Punch, Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, Lovely Lipstick cardstock and the rest of the 2018-2020 In Colors. 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.

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.

Another Retiring Favorite… Perennial Birthday

I send a LOT of birthday cards and love having different sentiments to choose from.  One of my birthday favorites is Perennial Birthday which is retiring June 2nd. Here is a fun fold card that was part of my Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet To Go last month.

Even though I used sentiments from the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set on the front and inside of this card, my kits to go are designed so you can use whatever stamp sets you already have to add a sentiment. Each month my kits to go include 3 cards and a 3D Project. I love fun fold cards so I always include one fun fold card each month. You also get the tutorials for each project so you can make more if you want.  My tutorials are a great resource of ideas. Click HERE for all the details to get in on my May kit  to go!

Here’s a look at all the great birthday sentiments in Perennial Birthday.

Even though I will no longer post ideas using this stamp set once it retires (because I don’t want to tease you with products you can no longer purchase) it doesn’t mean it will be leaving my craft room. (*Note- If you have older stamp sets, you can always search my blog for ideas by typing in the name of the stamp set in the search box on the right.)

Check back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop as we showcase our retiring favorites and some sneak peeks at new products from the Annual Catalog (available June 3rd). I will have another fun fold card to share with you.

Yesterday I showcased the new In Colors.  If you missed that post you can view it HERE. The lucky winner of one of my new In Color note cards is…..Bernice P. Congratulations Bernice! Email me your address and I will put your card in the mail to you!

Oops! Card and Blog Candy Winner

Yesterday I shared a spring wreath birthday card I made using the Stamparatus.  If you missed that post, you can see it HERE.  I love the Stamparatus for many reasons, one of which is I get a “do over” if I don’t get a good image the first time I stamp.  It’s so easy to just reink and stamp again…it stamps in the exact spot making it look great every time! Here’s a video showcasing the Stamparatus if you want to see it in action.

So, what do you do if you get too much ink? I’m sure we’ve all experienced inky fingers getting on our project after it was finished! I prefer not to start over again so I try to turn my “boo boos” in to new creations.  Let’s face it, the recipient had no idea what my first attempt was supposed to look like (right?). Most times I just add an embellishment to cover it up (which is why I’m in love with the new Butterfly Duet Punch and Bitty Blooms Punch Pack).  Unfortunately, that wouldn’t work with this particular oops! Look what happened when I stamped the sentiment (after I had stamped my pretty spring wreath).

I hate it when ink gets on the rim of the stamp and transfers to the paper! I did not want to toss my pretty wreath! So a quick fix was to stamp the sentiment again on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, punch it out with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch and cut a navy layer with the Layering Circles Framelits.  Just adhere on top and mission accomplished!

I like to challenge myself to find a way to “make it work” before tossing it in the trash and starting over. My friend Susan gave me a Tombow sand eraser and it helps to fix little smudges.

I can’t decide which card I like better. Do you have a preference?
