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:

  • NEW! Flowers of Friendship card


    I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in.  I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black.  What do you think?  

    The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here.  It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here.  I did color the image in with Blends markers.  

    There are three new products I want to point out here: 

    1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge?  That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList  
    2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog.  It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party.  You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150.  It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white.  I think they made this pack just for me!  It's my new favorite!!!
    3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut.  It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166.  It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!

  • More Sponging techniques from the Flowerbug’s


    Here are the second set of cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our April card swap.  The theme was to use a sponging technique: 

    Candace made this one using a very soft sponging on just part of the card around the Whale.  She used the Whale Done bundle here.  It's a bundle now in the current Stampin' Up! catalog and will carry over into our new 2021 Annual Catalog. But it will no longer be a bundle at 10%.  You can see it here. 

    She stamped and die-cut the leaves from the Forever Fern bundle seen here.  

    Next is a neat card made by Karen.  She used a masking technique to get that unique stamped & sponged strip across the card.  

    She tore a length of sticky notes and pressed onto the White card stock; on top and on bottom. She stamped and sponged on the exposed area.  Very cool! The stamp set is called Enjoy the Moment seen here. 

    The designer paper is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley seen here.  Her card base is Misty Moonlight. 

    Next card is made by Paula.  She used the Positive Thoughts stamp set seen here.  She made the sponged center of her card a beautiful centerpiece.  To get the center she die-cut a circle from another piece of paper and sponged and stamped in the center. I believe she used Pacific Point and Mint Macaron ink. 

    I'll share more amazing cards made by my talented Flowerbugs soon!

  • NEW project ideas & video with our fabulous 2021-23 In Colors!!!


    I created three pretty cards with our new 2021-23 In Colors for yesterday's FB Live. I used three new stamp sets from the 2021 Annual Catalog. Everyone can order from it next week Tuesday, May 4th!  

    I cannot say it enough; I LOVE OUR NEW IN COLORS!!  They're all gorgeous, unique and will fit in with our current colors beautifully!

    Here is one of the cards I made on my Live video yesterday. 

    This card features a few new products:

    • The stamp set is called Quite Meadow
    • Dies are Scalloped Contour for both the Scalloped rectangle & scalloped strips
    • Ink and card stock – Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen and Polished Pink

    Here's another fun card I made with these gorgeous In Colors featuring a sponging technique: 

    I used the Color & Contour stamp set and all 5 In Colors as well.  I used sticky post-it notes to mask off areas as I sponged and stamped each area.  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this technique.
