Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

July 14, 2026

Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

June 8, 2022

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"

My card base is White and I added a piece of Sun Prints Designer Paper behind the chevron die-cut. Scroll down for measurements and the video too.

Did you know we have Slimline Envelopes that perfectly match these dies and a typical slim line card? They carried over into the new Annual Catalog too. They come in 3 colors; White, Smoky Slate & Soft Succulent. See them here.

Save

I used the Slim Saying stamp set along with the Nature's Prints bundle from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog. See the Slim Saying stamp set here and the Nature's Prints bundle here.

At club they chose either a birthday card or a graduation card; it works for both. And some made theirs into a wedding or anniversary card!

I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

June 6, 2022

I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum. You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack! It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too.

This first card has a printed circle on it. The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath. I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

Save

My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White. The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

Save

Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

Save

Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

Save

For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

Save

The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party. I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.
