We have many Designer Series Paper packs that are 15% off this month. Today I am featuring one sheet from Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. All of the cards use Something Fancy Stamp Set and Something Fancy Dies. They are excellent dies for greetings.

On this video, I give tips on how to easily cut this to get it ready to make cards.
One of the first bundles I ordered from our new catalog was Timeless Arrangements. It is a great versatile set. I love the different dies that come in it. There are 3 stitched rectangle dies to fit greetings.
I love the texture that Painted Posies embossing folder gives.
The detail in the die cut pieces really stand out with the colored card stock.
I bought the Tea Boutique cards and envelopes at the beginning of the catalog last year and I never used them! I figure I better use them before the new catalog comes out. They are $10 for 20 cards and envelopes. This is a fantastic deal, but it gets even better. On 4/4 it will be 60% off, just $4 for 20 cards and envelopes! I love the print on the cards and envelopes. Use this link on April 4th or after until they are gone or 5/1/23. https://www.stampinup.com/products/tea-boutique-cards-envelopes?demoid=7320
During March Madness, our family watches a lot of basketball. While it was on, I stamped a bunch of flowers from Sending Smiles. By die cutting all of these, I am all set to make some quick bright and colorful cards.
I paired my die cut flowers with the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes. I really like how bright and fun these turned out!
Next I made some using Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet card bases. Which color is your favorite?
I made this video showing how to make this card.
Here are the items that will be on sale starting on 4/4
I ordered the Picture This dies awhile ago but hadn't opened them until yesterday. I was inspired by the card in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I combined the Awesome Otters stamp set and Simply Marbleous 6x6 Designer Series Paper and the Picture This dies.
I embossed the Balmy Blue piece using our Bark Embossing Folder. I then used the Cut and Emboss machine again to die cut the circles from Picture This. I used the same circles and die cut white circles to stamp on.
This video shows you how simple this is to make.
I finished the card by adding a 1/2" strip to the bottom of the inside to add a little color. It is a great way to use scraps!
In the video I mentioned a giveaway. Leave a comment below on this card or on my Youtube and your name will be entered in a drawing for our Bark Embossing Folder.
The Simply Marbleous 6x6 designer series paper, and Awesome Otters are both free options with a $50 order this month.
Don't forget to leave a comment below to be entered in a drawing for our Bark embossing folder! I will have drawing on February 28th from those who commented.
My friend Pat McGillicuddy designed this card as a possibility for my Stamps In The Mail. I loved it so we are making them this month. Our Basic Borders dies have a nice variety of borders, and the cloud is one of them. I like the stitching each of the dies has along the edge.
I used thick basic white card stock so the card base is thicker.
Fold Card in ½. Open up and die cut clouds towards the top.
Stamp Greeting on the top right.
On a ¼ sheet of white and sponge blue for the sky.
Stamp the branch coming from the right side. I used an aqua painter to color in the leaves.
On the piece that was cut off, stamp the birdhouse and birds. Color and then cut out.
Poke a hole at the top of the birdhouse so the twine can go through it.
Use white twine to tie the birdhouse to the tree. The video helps show this.
Use small dimensionals to attach the birds and birdhouses to the card.
The Suit and Tie dies are so fun to work with. I made a card for my husband and for my dad using them for Father's Day. Unfortunately the Well Suited designer series paper has sold out. There are many other designer series paper you can use, or you can make your own patterns with the stamps.
If you look closely you can see I added texture to the suit using our Tasteful Texture embossing folder. Also look at the detail to the buttons. I like how the die cuts 6 buttons at a time.
For the Inside, I used a greeting from Handsomely Suited Stamp Set. I also added a scrap of the designer series paper.
This next card is the one I made for my dad. I started with the same Night of Navy Card Stock embossed for the suit, and then die cut the shirt out of the designer series paper. For the tie I used the embossed Night of Navy card stock.
Next time I am going to make a gray suit. I could see making a White Coat too. Perfect for the doctors I know.
