Wild Bunch Happy Birthday

A simple birthday card with such adorable characters from WILD BUNCH set. I saw this layout somewhere online (I am sorry I can't give credit to original post).

 

Beautiful You Thank You

Pulling out another old SU set. I love the images in the "beautiful you" set. I used an aqua marker to add the color wash to the background of the stamped image. I stamped misc. inks on acetate and spritzed, then smooshed watercolor paper against for the background panel. 
 

Easter Shaker Cards

Storybook Friends Shaker Cards

I love this Stampin' Up! set and bundle from 2025 called Storybook Friends. I made several versions to send to my eight grand kiddos! I improvised in creating the shaker card by die cutting the circle out of the paper, then adding the sequins/glitter to a background cardstock and covering with a piece of acetate.

 

Elk Masculine Card

I love the simplicity of the elk image from the Outdoor Adventure bundle. I spritzed water after inking to give a watercolor look. 

Using this fun fold card technique made it easy to highlight the elk with the patterned paper background.

For the card fold:

• Cut cardbase to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 
• Score at 4 1/4 and 2 1/8
• Cut decorative paper at 4 x 5 1/4 and two pieces at 1 7/8 x 5 1/4

I used soft suede and sahara sand inks on the elk and then spritzed before stamping. Also spritzed the trees after inking as well.

 

Llama Birthday

The llama is the star of the show on this card. Such a fun and simple focal point. The LONG TIME NO SEE set is just adorable, and the dog in the set shines just as much! The card seemed like it was missing something so I added the hand-drawn black line border. 

The "limited edition" is not Stampin Up - it is from Tim Holtz set TINY TEXT. In order to get the long deckled rectangle for this slimline, I cut the first half by not allowing the top cutting plate to cover the bottom of the rectangle, then flipped over and did the same thing. 
 

Flip Flop Toadstools

 I love this TERRIFIC TOADSTOOLS photopolymer set from the January - April 2025 Mini Catalog. And the matching TOADSTOOL GARDEN DSP that you can earn with sale-a-bration is fantastic! Such fun colors.

The Flip Flop Fun Fold is the star of the show. It needs little else to make it pop!

Christmas Moose Card

 

I fell in love with these sweet critters in the Christmas Friends stamp set! This set is in the Sept - Dec 2024 mini catalog. They just exude so much joy! I used an old Snowflake EF (not sure of the name) and embossed a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of smooth white CS. Then on the reverse side (not the raised impression side, but the depressed side of the flakes) I brayered Night of Navy and Pacific Point. I fussy cut the moose image and colored with alcohol in markers. The sentiment is from an old Merry Moose stamp set. I cut bumps and swerves on white CS pieces to make the snow and used blending brushes to add a little blue to the top of the snow. 

* I saw this brayered snow sky on a Ranger post somewhere, but didn't keep the link. 

3 Step StampingTurtle Card

Let the stamps do the work for you on this simple turtle card! The Sea Turtle stamp set makes a beautiful impression. For the turtle, I stamped the smooth side of the stamp in Sea Foam Green, then flipped the stamp over to the image side and dabbed Summer Splash in a few place and stamped over Sea Foam Green image. Then inked again with Pretty Peacock in a few places on the stamp and stamped over the entire image again. It gives such depth and dimension. Sentiment is from Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Fun Center Flip Card

A fun center flip card. This is such an elegant design - inspired by a Sue Campfield post on pinterest. 

I will provide measurements for the center flip card below. I used the Forever Fern stamp set for these cards. 

We made these at my last card class workshop. 

Center Flip Card instructions: 

• Card base White CS at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Patterned paper two strips approximately 1.5" x 5 1/2". 
• Center Flip White CS 11" x 2 15/16".
• Embossed piece for front of center flip White CS 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" embossed with folder of choice
• Miscellaneous die cuts to apply to front of center flip. 

To make the card adhere the two strips of patterned paper to outside edges of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white CS. Fold the 11" x 2 15/16" piece in half at the 5 1/2" mark and this will become the center flip. Adhere the backside of the center flip to the card base, the edges overlapping the patterned paper slightly. Then add embossed 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece to font of center flip and any other die cuts and sentiments. I used images and die cuts from Forever Fern bundle for the foliage, and the Stitched Nested Labels dies. Sentiments are from Unbounded Love stamp set. 

 

Poppies 2

For this card I used blending brushes to apply ink in strawberry slush and tangerine tango. Used SU stencil and applied lunar paste in Guppy (bright orange color). The poppies were stamped in memento black ink, then stamped background swash with watermelon wonder. Colored over poppies with alcohol ink markers. Used gold EP for sentiment "there's no one quite like you" from the retired "thanks a bunch" set.
 

Jungle Pals Case

I CASE'd this card from the SU sale a bration brochure for the Jungle Pals set. So easy and fun! I used the sentiment "wild about you" from the retired Animal Outing stamp set. It was for a card workshop. Alligator is colored with Parakeet Party Stampin Blends pens.
 

Embossed Birthday

Another card we made at a card workshop. Super simple happy birthday card for him or her. For the embossed happy birthday card, I slid the ink pads against the flat side of embossing folder (the side where the lettering isn't raised) and then embossed a white piece of cs. Added another embossed piece of white across the bottom and then tied the twine and added let's celebrate you tag. 
 

Star Quilt Card

We made this star quilt card at my last card workshop. It's a fun quilt technique, and a great way to use up paper scraps! 

Measurements:

• Card base:  8 1/2 x 5 1/2
• Background panel: 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with dotted circles
• Square background mat: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
• Square base for quilt pattern: 3 x 3
• Quilt strips: 3/4 x 6 (four) pieces of patterned paper
• Quilt corners: 3/4 x 3/4 (four) white squares
• Center background banner: 1 3/4 x 6 

For the assembly of the star quilt, layer two pieces of pattern paper diagonal to corners, letting ends overlap your white square. Now only glue the ends on one corner because you will need to weave your paper through on the next set. Layer two strips opposite corners and weave through strips already placed down. Once you have all strips lined up corner to corner and weaved through, you can glue all ends down. Turn piece over and cut off overhanging ends. Then glue the 3/4 x 3/4 white squares in each corner to create the star. You may add circles or gems to the center piece. 

The Have a blessed day sentiment is from Unbounded Love stamp set.
