Last weekend I was blessed to spend time with many of my Stars by Design Team Members. We had so much fun we forgot to take pictures … but I do have some of their amazing swap cards … and I will share a couple with you today.
We’re are kind of spread across the state (and one out of state) but we try to meet in person quarterly. We also keep in touch through my Stars Newsletter and a private Facebook page too. We talk about the Stampin’ Up! specials, the newest fads, techniques and fun folds!! We’re already planning our next one …. YOU should join us!!
On that note, let’s begin with Kathy’s card created with the Crafting with You bundle …
Don’t you just love the the paper she made using different inks and the Saran Wrap technique. You just crunch it up, tap it into the ink pad and then blot onto paper.
The next card is great for the upcoming Fathers Day holiday and was created by Debi ~
This card was created using the Gone Fishing bundle and is a favorite of my 4 year old Great Grandson!! He was carrying it all around, and then told me he wants me to take him fishing! lol This is a very inspiring card …. thank you Debi!!
The next card was created by our newest member Tina. She is using the Two Tone Flora found on page 34 of the Annual Catalog ….

Thought I would change things up a bit today and share my Sending Smiles Card created in Lemon Lolly. Who know I would flip head over heals for this new color. It’s so cheerful and some days we all need a little more cheer in our lives.
I created this card for the Tutorial Group that I am in …. Our June theme is our favorite new color.

Today I’m sharing another Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series paper card, a Fun Fold, and yes … the Faux Step card again. I am hooked on this quick & easy fun fold. Ohhhh, wait to you see the pattern I picked for this card …
Those pretty pink posies and the stripes look great together and create a fun background. There are so many great patterns in this big bundle of designer paper, picking it up this month while it’s on sale is a smart move and a savings of almost $5.00
You can never have too much patterned paper. And with the Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, you’ll always have plenty on hand. This extra-generous stack of paper has designs you can use for holidays, birthdays, seasons, and everyday use. Stripes, flowers, dots, grids, geometric designs—there’s a design for every project you want to make!
Side view ….
Card Base: 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″.
Center step: 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.
You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.

I took the weekend off but I’m back to say HELLO in a fun & whimsical way. I am using the Delightfully Eclectic 12 x 12 Designer Series paper. This paper is so much fun with a total of 48 sheets … you’ll get 4 sheets each of 12 double-sided designs. That is 24 “delightfully eclectic” patterns. I’ve used several already and I’m sharing one of them with you today.
My pattern choice today was the fun floral in Fresh Freesia and Basic Black. I matted my paper with the black and chose the Fresh Freesia cardstock as my base. Once layered I added the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon which I tied in a cute little bow.
With such a fun and whimsical pattern, I chose the Alphabest stamp set and coordinating Best Label punch. I first stamped the outer design in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then stamped my greeting in the Fresh Freesia ink.
With the Alphabest being photopolymer stamps, it’s a breeze to align the letters inside your stamped outer designs.
I popped up my greeting using the Mini Dimensionals and attached them in a playful way … I find this a “no stress” way to add my individually punched pieces because I don’t have to make sure it’s perfectly straight.
To finish off the card, I added my favorite “Iridescent Ice” Rhinestones … they go on everything!! I love the way the pick up the colors that are one your card. Perfect for a super simple, fun and whimsical card.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have a great week ahead.

Today I’m going to share a Father’s Day Faux Step card using the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper. I also have a second card to share with you that uses the Countryside Inn Designer paper… each of these cards use the same dimensions I shared with you yesterday. Due to some difficulties filming yesterday, I’m hoping to get my video to you by tomorrow.
On this card I will be using a Boho Blue card base and the Let’s Go Fishing Designer paper …
You are seeing 3 different patterns of cardstock … one with the flies, the second that looks like water and the third in which I fussy cut 3 fish from. I love the contrast on this card and of course it works so well together, plus it highlights the fish.
Two of the fish are popped up to add some dimension to our card and the other was secured directly to the front. The greeting comes from the Gone Fishing Bundle and was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.
Card Base: 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″.
Center step: 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.
You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.
My second card used the Countryside Inn Designer paper and is simply elegant ….
The greeting comes from the Layering Leaves stamp set and I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut it out. I then embellished the card with the Iridescent Rhinestones … They are very subtle as they pick up the color that they are attached to!!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to join me … Which one of these Faux Step Cards is your favorite; the Fathers Day with Let’s Go Fishing or the Hello card using the Countryside Inn?
Today I have a FUN FOLD for you, the Faux Step Card … it’s a peek into my Facebook LIVE last night. I shared more cards, and will share them here tomorrow, along with an updated video showing you Step by Step HOW to make the Faux Step card.
On this card I will be using a Basic White card base and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper ….
The card used two sheets of cardstock to create the faux step …. begin with a piece of Basic White 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″. To make the center step your Basic White piece measured 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.
You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.
The greeting comes from the Layering Leaves stamp set and I used the Lovely Label punch (retired) and embellished the card with the Iridescent Rhinestones … I love how they pick up the color that they are attached to!! Make sure to stop back tomorrow when I share a video and more cards using the FUN FOLD: Faux Step Card and our amazing Designer papers, now on sale!!
Thank you for joining me today, and I look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow.

Have you ever wondered “how they did that”? Today’s video shows you how to Create Stunning Watercolor Pansies!! Sometimes it’s a good teacher to look back at some of the things we’ve done in the past. I am so excited these did not retire and are still in the catalog for us to create with. I have combined an old technique with our new Pansy Petals and the results are stunning!
I have created a video for you from my Facebook LIVE last night so you can watch step by step how easy it is to create these beautiful flowers …. They almost look real don’t they?
Isn’t that cool … I am in love with this technique! In the past I made pansies from the butterfly punch but this is more realistic!! It creates so much texture and depth when you “scrunch” your petals.
Those little white specs you see are actually the “shimmer” paper making a statement… now we have our Wink of Stella if you like that bling! It really is so pretty and you can do these in any color you’d like! Here is what I whipped up quickly last night after my LIVE demo ….
Not bad for a 2 minute card!! You can use any designer paper for your background and just added the flowers and my greeting … simple!
Thanks for joining me today! Hope your day is an awesome one ~

I shared my It’s a Girl… now It’s a Boy card is here for you today. I’m using the Bright & Beautiful Designer paper for my It’s a Boy, just like I did for my It’s a Girl card.
This designer paper has 48 – 6″ x 6″ sheets with 12 different patterns and is one of the select Designer Series papers that are currently ON SALE. With the watercolor washes, stripes, stars, confetti, and more, you will be able to create cards and more for any occasion.
I started with the Misty Moonlight base (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored and folded at 4-1/4″) and then chose my designer paper to match … I chose the ombre in the blues that I cut to 4″ x 5-1/5″ and the little blue stars to 5-1/4″ x 2″, all from the other side of the same sheet.
Once I secured those two pieces together, I added a strip of the Misty Moonlight cardstock to hid my edge and to create some texture. Now let’s attach the card front to the base, and I just did that with my Stampin’ Seal.
I created my greeting using the Alphabest stamp set and coordinating punch. I used Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the Its a Boy onto a piece of Thick White Cardstock and then punched out the each of the letters ….
I tilted the letters back and forth to create a fun sentiment and take the stress out of trying to align it perfectly!! I love it. Then I cut one of the blue stars from the patterned paper you see above and tucked it behind the greeting. I finished the card with the blue In Color Dots.
This cute It’s a Boy card is so easy to make … hope it inspires you to stamp something fun today. Thanks for taking a time out from your weekend to take a peek.
Have an amazing weekend.
Here is a list of ingredients that I used to create today’s card ….
