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:

  • Springtime Scenes easy fun fold card

    I shared this striking fun fold card here a few weeks ago. You’ll find the free project sheet there too.

    I had leftover pieces and wanted to make a few thank you cards with it. Here’s what I came up with:

    I used the same colors of Shaded Spruce & Blueberry Bushel but chose the Springtime Scenes bundle instead. The images and die-cuts are all from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here.

    This bundle is one of my newest favorites I reach for. There is so much to love about it!

    I think this color combination is wonderful; deep rich colors with White is a stunner.

  • Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial


    I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

    The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

    For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

    This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

    It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

    The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

    This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

    The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

    Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

    It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.
