Hi Stampers. Are you just loving the new 2021 January to June Mini catalog?!?! I am and the Ice Cream Corner Suite is one of my favorites! I chose to use that for my blog hop today.
This suite comes with so many fun products and they all coordinate beautifully! The Ice Cream Corner Suite can be used for any kind of celebration or even just a summer ice cream social!
While the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch is intended to be an ice cream cone, flipped upside down it makes the cutest teddy bear in a party hat! The Shark Dies make many different size circles (smaller than the layering circle dies) and the 1/2″ size was perfect for the ball on the top of my party hat!
I chose to make this a teddy bear party in a box with the card-in-a-box fancy fold and used some ribbon to make the back panel look like a wrapped package.
The faces are hand drawn and the tie is die cut using the Suit & Tie Dies, while the balloons are punched out using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. A touch of White Stampin’ Chalk Marker gives the balloons a bit of reflection.
On the back of the card is a simple Basic White panel over DSP with ice cream cones stamped top and bottom.
This is a second card I created. For the face, I chose to make it a little simpler to draw. I also added two more sentiments for the side panels.
All supplies used in the making of this card are available in my online store 24/7 and I have provided links to them below. For further instruction, I encourage you to watch this YouTube video below. Then be sure to follow along on the hop to see more fun projects.

Hi Stampers, I’m so excited that the So Many Snowflakes Dies will be carrying over! For this Happy Birthday card I paired them with the Well Written dies. Isn’t it pretty?
I started with a Pool Party card base and then added a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of DSP. While this particular DSP has retired, other DSPs would work or you could use our fabulous new Blender Brushes to make your own background similar to this one.
The So Many Snowflakes Dies were used to die cut snowflakes out of Highland Heather, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy CS. They were stacked together and attached to each other using glue dots. A single rhinestone in the center of the top snowflake finishes it off. Using the Well Written dies, I die cut happy out of Gorgeous Grape CS and “birthday” out of Misty Moonlight CS. Before die cutting the words, I put adhesive sheet on the back, so the words would be stickers and easy to apply.
Inside, the card is a single layer of Whisper White CS with a 1″ strip of the same DSP as the cover. Even though there is no inside sentiment, that single strip of DSP makes the inside coordinate with the outside. Nice and simple!

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday! Since I work for myself, I love Mondays! It’s like a fresh start and it’s Facebook Live day over on my Facebook Business Page! (We are doing a simple shaker card class today at 2:30pm MT). Today’s post is a card I made for Facebook Live two weeks ago. If you like today’s post, check out the masculine circle swirl card in this other post HERE.
For the base of this card, I chose Terracotta Tile and paired it with the Ornate Garden DSP. Pulling a few other colors from that DSP, I’m also using Terracotta Tile, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and Bumblebee for the swirls on my card. The “happy birthday” is in Early Espresso.
For the circles, I die cut the first and last color using the largest and smallest circle of the Stitched Shapes Dies. The two middle colors were cut using the two middle sizes, one of each of those colors. They were then cut in half and assembled to make the swirls on the front of the card. (How, is all explained in the video tutorial below. If you saw the mess of a FB live on Facebook, don’t worry, I edited out the technical difficulties and the YouTube video is much better.)
I then cut a Whisper White stitched circle and stamped the “happy” from the Well Said stamp set in Early Espresso ink. The “birthday” is die cut from a piece of Early Espresso CS (with adhesive sheet on the back) using the Well Written Dies. To help cover the seam where the circles meet, I positioned the birthday right over the center.
Inside the card is a simple 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Whisper White CS with the sentiment (also from the Well Said stamp set) stamped in Early Espresso ink. To help coordinate with the outside of the card, a leftover strip of the DSP is adhered on the left side.
At first, this technique really threw me for a loop. Since my motto here is “There is NO STRESS in stamping”, I worked had to get a simpler way to present this technique. Once I got it all straight in my head it really was quite easy – check out the video below to see just how easy I make it for you!

Hi Stampers. Today I have a bright and cheery birthday car for you. This “Happy Birthday” card features two of the new 2020-2022 In-Colors – Magenta Madness & Bumblebee. It also features the new Rainbow Glimmer Paper.
It all started with a Magenta Madness card base, 11″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 5-1/2″. Next, I cut 3″ of one end to get a 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece. I added some of the new In Color Designer Series Paper over the top. The Magenta Madness piece is 2-1/4″ x 4″ and the Bumblebee piece is 2-3/4″ x 4″. I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the DSP to the cardstock.
After adding the DSP, I spun the 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece 90 degrees and centered it on the card from and adhered the left side. For the sentiment, I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of some of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and then cut out the “happy birthday” using the Well Written dies. Using the Butterfly Duet Punch – I punched out a small butterfly. These were easy to add to the card front, since they had adhesive sheet on the back – just peel and stick – no mess!
Inside the card is a 4″ – 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock that can be decorated anyway you want. Enjoy!

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Candy Hearts Blog Hop for August – I have been asked to be a guest hopper today! Today we are sharing Birthday themed projects. After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you.
My card was inspired by my good friend Lorri Heiling – she’s super creative! She made a similar card last year, so I changed up the stamp set and DSP to make my card.
The card is made to look like a camera – remember those? We had them before everyone had a cell phone with a camera built in. LOL I gave it a strap using some Misty Moonlight ribbon. My “lens” is made by cutting several circles using the layering circles dies and putting the Shimmery Crystal Effects on the top. (Note: it should dry clear with glitter, but it’s not quite dry in my photos).
Inside the card is a “photo” of the characters from the Special Someone stamp set. They are all holding happy birthday balloons :-). I made the corners to hold the “photo” in place using a 3/4″ square of Misty Moonlight CS cut in half diagonally with the paper snips. The sky and grass are sponged on using wedges of a stamping sponge.
Peaking out of the top of the card is Basic Black CS punched out using the Everyday Label Punch with a small strip of Silver Foil added. To the right on the top is a Silver Foil circle topped with a Frosted Epoxy Droplet. The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is stamped onto Whisper White CS in Basic Gray ink. It was punched out using the Classic Label punch and adhered using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. It was so fun to make and I’m sure the recipient will love it!
Thank you for hopping with the Hearts today! Be sure to hop around to all the stops. You do not want to miss any of the creativity in this talented group of stampers!

Hi Stampers. I have a cute idea to share with you today. I’ve been meeting with my Creative Royalty team over zoom and a few weeks before each meeting, I mail them an envelope full of card pieces. During the zoom meeting we assemble the cards. Since I’m unable to stamp images for them, all cards need to be able to be completed with stamps they all have on hand. (Hence, the retired Bonanza Buddies DSP).
There is a standard card base in Basic Gray followed by a layer of Smokey Slate CS. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to die cut these shapes from Bermuda Bay and Whisper White CS. (Each team member chose a stamp from their stash to add the sentiment.
I stamped the “Happy Birthday” (from the Many Mates stamp set) randomly all over the Smokey Slate CS in Basic Gray ink to give it a little more interest. Then I added the sentiment labels using stampin’ dimensionals and added a few enamel dots for bling.
To make it a laptop, I needed a keyboard. I found the image of the keyboard online HERE and printed it out on my printer. For the screens of my zoom friends I used squares of Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight CS.
My “friends” are from the retired Bonanza Buddies DSP – I cute them out quick and easy on my Brother Scan N Cut. My team members were tickled with how cut the zoom laptop card came out – me, too!
