Hello – Welcome

Stargazing UFO Out of This World Card

March 29, 2026 No Comments

I received the Spellbinders 2025 Advent as a gift and one of the dies and stamp sets was all related to UFOs. There is a die set for the UFOs and a stamp set with a few sayings to coordinate. I used In The Pines stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up for the trees on the inside of the card and their Stargazing designer series paper which matched perfect for the front of the card.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Light Blue card stock (unknown)
Misty Moonlight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Silver glitter card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
Gold glitter card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
Stargazing designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
Out of this World word stamps (Advent 2025 Spellbinders)
In The Pines stamps and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
UFO dies S2-428 W20 (Advent 2025 Spellbinders)
Tempting Turquise ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
Soft Suede ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow in (Stampin’ Up)
Wink of Stella glitter pen (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the light blue card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half and another piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside and a label to ¾” x 2”. From Misty Moonlight card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Stargazing designer series paper pack find the piece with the blue galaxy with the stary background and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” that has the galaxy running through the middle with stars showing around it.

From a scrap piece of the light blue paper cut two of the round pieces with the window holes and two of the saucer pieces. Cut the bottom portion of the round pieces. From the silver glitter paper cut two of the background pieces. From the gold glitter paper die cut one of the beams pieces and break into three. Use a sponge and sponge the edges of your round pieces and your saucer pieces and then cover each piece in Wink of Stella for a shine. Adhere the silver glitter pieces to the back of the circle and the saucer pieces to the top bottom of your ships. Adhere your three gold glitter pieces beaming out of the bottom of one of your ships to use on the inside of your card.

Take the label piece you cut from light blue and stamp the “you are out of this world” greeting in Tempting Turquoise ink. Use a sponge to sponge the edges with Tempting Turquoise ink and then cover the whole label with Wink of Stella to give it a shine.

Now adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” Misty Moonlight card stock to the front of your card and the Stargazing paper to the front of that. Then use pop dots to adhere your no-beam space ship to the upper right corner of your card. Adhere your label to the lower left corner with pop dots as well.

For the inside of your card adhere your light blue piece to your Misty Moonlight piece. Use your Tempting Turquoise in and stamp the “rolling by to say hi” greeting in the upper center of your light blue piece. With your In The Pines stamp set stamp two of the small single trees and one of the four grouped small trees in Soft Suede ink and then the fill in pieces with Mossy Meadow ink then die cut each of them. Adhere the two single trees in the lower left corner and your grouped trees in the lower right corner. Then adhere your space ship with the beams going slightly under your trees. Then adhere your piece to the inside back of your card.

This card turned out so cute, took me a bit of time to get it finished but turned out better than I expected.

I am loving this July 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up. This kit is all based around strawberries for the season and has a bunch of adorable punch-outs to build cards with included instructions or to make up your own. I am really having fun making cards and tags with it.

With your Poppy Parade (or Sweet Sorbet) card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” and 6 3/8” and fold into a Z. From the kit find the pink card stock with the red dots and cut two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8” each. Adhere one to the small front of your Z.

Add the three flowers around on the stem piece for decoration.

Painterly Pears Hello Card

July 1, 2025 No Comments

I am in love with this card and how it turned out with the Painterly Pairs suite from Stampin’ Up, and I like the fold as well, it all worked perfectly. I am pretty sure this is going to be one of my new favorites and the papers are just beautiful and in my color palette.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Darling Duckling card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Perfectly Pears stamp set and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Inks
- Darling Ducking ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin Up)
- Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Pecan Pie ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Momento Black Ink (Stampin’ Up)
Blender Pens (Stampin’ Up)

- Old Olive (light and dark)
- Mossy Meadow (light and dark)
- Pecan Pie (light)
Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From the Darling Ducking card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ¼” and 5 ½” and fold both ends up. With your white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Painterly Pears designer series paper, find the piece of Darling Duckling paper with the pears and the piece with the pink lined grids. From the pears piece cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then from the grid paper cut a piece to 1” x 5 ¼”.

Grab some spare white card stock and your black Momento ink and stamp two of the small pears and one of the group of three flowers. For the small pears, take your Darling Duckling ink and the small pear inside stamp and stamp the inside of the pears. Then use your Old Olive Blender Pen light and do some shading and then with the Mossy Meadow light a bit more. For the branch color with the Pecan Pie light and for the leaves I colored them in Old Olive Light and Mossy Meadow dark. For the flower bunch I just used the full flower and cut it apart from the others. Then I used the center stamp with Pecan Pie ink and stamped the center. Then I used Darling Duckling Blender pens, light for the full flower and then dark coming in a bit from the center for highlights.

With some spare Darling Duckling card stock use the label die from the Perfect Pears die set to cut the large label. On another spare piece find the “Hello” greeting from the Perfect Pears stamp set and stamp in Old Olive ink. Use the small square label die to cut that out. Now take a spare piece of Old Olive card stock and cut out the hash design die and also a stem of leaves.

Grab your Darling Duckling card base and adhere to pears paper to the right side and the grid paper to the left side. Take the Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon and wrap around the inside of your card and tie in a knot and position to the right side of your card.

Now take the Darling Duckling large label you cut and let’s get that decorated. Start by adhering the hash cutout toward the left side of the label. Take your leaves cut-out and break it up into two pieces and then take one leaf off to use with your flower. Adhere the leaves to the back of one of your stamped pears sets and then use pop dots to adhere you pears to the right side of your tag. Adhere the single leaf you saved to the back of your flower and then adhere your flower to the upper right of the tag. Then use pop dots to adhere your hello in the space left over the hash cutout. Put adhesive to the left side of your tag and adhere to the lower front of your card with the adhesive side on the pear paper section.

For the inside, take the piece of white card stock you cut earlier and adhere your other set of pears in the lower right corner and then adhere to the inside of your card.

That finishes off your Perfect Pears card to send out to someone just to say hello.

Irresistible Blooms Bridge Tower Card

April 21, 2025 7 Comments

This is the first time I have made a tower card and it took me a little bit of playing. My instructions will be correct, though my card is a half an inch too long to fit into a standard envelope. I haven’t use the Irresistible Blooms suite in a while and I forgot how beautiful the paper is.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Hello, Irresistible designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Irresistible Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
Decaled Circle dies (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With the Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ½”, and score along the 4 ½” side at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” for your towers. Cut another piece to 3” x 4 ¼” scored at ½” and 2 ½” for the center.

From the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper pack, find the piece that has the flowers on the front you can cut out with dies that is the lighter piece with the petal pink and daffodil delight colors and on the back has the same colors with a triangle design. Then also a piece that is just the Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and then also a piece with white leaf designs.

With one piece on the triangle side cut 6 pieces to ¾” x 4”. With the plain Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight piece cut two pieces to 2 ¼” x 4”.

Now take your two Decaled Circle dies, the larger should be about 3 ½” or so and then the next smaller one. With the larger cut two Petal Pink and with the smaller one cut one with the white leaf designer series paper piece and one from white card stock. Also use the three decorative leaf dies and cut 5 different leaves. Take the two flower dies and cut out one large flower from the designer series paper and two of the smaller size.

Now let’s start assembling. Take the two pieces of Petal Pink cut to 4 ¼” x 4 ½” scored and your 6 pieces of designer series paper with the triangles and adhere three to one piece in the three 1” sections from the ½” side and then put adhesive on the ½” section and form your tower. Do the same with the other tower.

Take the Petal Pink piece you cut for the center and adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to each side. Put adhesive on both ½” side and adhere each tower, centering your center on each tower. Take one of your Petal Pink Decaled Circles and the circle with the white leaves and adhere to the Petal Pink circle, making sure the leaves don’t hang down too far). Take the one large flower and one of the small flowers you cut and with pop dots adhere to the bottom of the circle and adhere three leaves for decoration.

With the Irresistible Bloom stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp on a spare piece of white stamp the “Hello” greeting and use an appropriate size label die to cut it out. Use pop dots to adhere to your Decaled Circle above the flowers. Put some adhesive on the center of both of your towers and fold down so it is lying flat and adhere your decaled circle with the flowers at the bottom.

Now take your second Decaled Petal Pink circle and the white one and adhere together. With the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and the Daffodil Delight ink stamp the “I Couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend” greeting. Take the second small flower and adhere with pop dots and then add the two leaves.

You now have a lovely card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.
