Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card


We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs.  Look at this:

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult.  The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing!  It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?! 

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all.  I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine!  It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too!  Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.  

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here.  We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. 

*There's a video to see how this card was created.  You can watch it here. 

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.  

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles.  See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February. 

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.  

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine. 


Here's the video below:

  • Beautiful Gallery Suite in an ‘over the top’ card


    I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery suite for last week's Live video and came up with this card.  

    It has tons of die-cuts and layers I am calling it 'over the top'.  It's not my normal style at all.  But I do like it; probably because it has just a few colors in it. That helps it not seen too busy.  

    The textured 'frames' are done with the Damask Designs folder; both are die-cut frames in the Gallery Bloom dies (which are out of stock right now unfortunately). The smaller frame is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The DSP in the background is the Beautiful Bokeh paper. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia with White and Old Olive.  

    I inked the two different floral stamps with Stampin' Write markers, coloring directly onto the stamp before stamping on my White CS.  Watch the video below to get a tip or two on this technique.   The rest of the pretty die-cuts are from this Suite seen here. 

    Remember this suite and both bundles are both BOGO Through June – Buy 1 Get 1 50% off. Unfortunately I saw that the Gallery Bloom dies are out of stock right now.  

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.  I hope you'll watch it; and subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

  • Gorgeous Gallery Blooms card with video tutorial & free project sheet


    I shared this beautiful card on last week's video.  It features the Gallery Blooms bundle in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Secret Sea and White.  The die-cuts here include the frame and the flower.  The greeting is die-cut with the More Messages die.  

    I did texture the largest White layer with the Damask Designs folder; which is included in the Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here.  All of these items are included in the Suite BOGO sale this month.  Buy any Suite item and get the second at half off.  What a great deal; especially if you buy either two suites or two bundles.  See all of the Suite products here. 

    This Gallery Blooms bundle comes with the stamp set seen above and the coordinating dies.  See it here. 

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Gallery Blooms Framed flower

  • The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo


    I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.  

    The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock.  See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.  

    My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!  

    This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images. 

    Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold?  Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.  

    Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out. 

    Check out the confetti on the frosting.  I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!
