Hello and welcome to my blog (website…). Every Monday in June 2023 I will be featuring a new Card using Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today is the first episode in my series.
I always need Thank you cards and need to stamp a stack of them quickly. Watch today’s video to see how I did it. Keep in mind that the designing and the prepping of the card takes a little more that 15 minutes. But once you have your idea and create you first card- you are all set to whip out a stack of cards.

Who says you can’t have your dessert first? As my Grandmother got older she would tell me to enjoy dessert first cuz that is the best part of the meal. So Today I decided to Share a Milkshake before running down for lunch. Each Wednesday I bring a quick card to you while you enjoy your lunch.

This thought popped in my head today and I decided to run with it. No, we are not making wedding cards…but could.

On to the card…that I was inspired to make. The card base is Coastal Cabana (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored a 4-1/4″. I added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the card base. I started with the Oceanfront Stamp Set and used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede to create the background on a 5″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I then used the images from the At the Pond set to add the Cattails in with Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Inks. I used the grass and speckle image from the Oceanfront stamp set to continue making my landscape. I then adhered the Basic White cardstock to the card front.
Now the fun part. On a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the Frog image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then used Granny Apple Green I stamped the “solid” image shape of the frog over the detailed image. Next, I stamped the Detailed Log image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I used the solid image from the stamp set and stamped off the Soft Suede ink before I stamped over the detailed image. And finally I stamped the Dragonfly using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image using Balmy Blue and a Blender. I fussy cut out all three images, added dimensionals and adhere to the card front.
To finish off the card, I stamped a phrase from the Sending Support Sale–bration stamp set and placed Faux Sea Glass in clusters of 3 around the card front. So what do you think?

Okay, Okay just one more card- this just cracked me up. I find when I am nervous, anxious or frightened I tend to start joking around and being silly to get me out of that funk. I just thought this was funny, I mean, who else but a frog would want to eat a fly? just sayin. I used the card above for inspiration and then just switched out my stamp set. I used the At the Pond and Sending Support Stamp sets. The outside sentiment reads: Courage is being really scared and doing it anyway. The inside sentiment is YOU’VE GOT THIS. A little Wink of Stella on the Frog and Flowers, Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon and Dimensionals make this card pop.
I don’t’ know about you , but one of my most favorite thinga about fall is the changing of the leaves. They go from various colors of green to yellow, orange, red, purple. It is one of the most gorgeous times of the year here in Wisconsin. The fall colors inspired me to use Blackberry Bliss and well if you are going to use that color, you may as well add in Rich Razzelberry and Fresh Freesia. Stampin’ UP!s colors coordinate so well together. And you know that the cardstock, ribbon, inks etc will all match. It’s granimals for adults.
Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break (featured as a FACEBOOK LIVE and them Uploaded to YouTube features the Soft Seedlings Stamp set and the wonderful colors mentioned above.

Here are just a few more card ideas. Staying with the Color Resist Technique, I tried out using Very Vanilla cardstock as well as Basic white cards stock with Soft Succulent and Soft Suede inks. I mounted the card fronts to Evening Evergreen cardstock to given them some depth. This time I changed up the sentiments that were used. I chose the Charming Sentiments and coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes dies. Did you know that you can bundle the two and save 10%? You can check it out in my Online Stampin’ Up! store
