As I hit the road with my granddaughter for a fun little getaway to Door County, I’m excited to share a delightful card with you, created by the talented Trayce Bauer from my Design/ Tutorial group. This charming card showcases the “Happiest Day” stamp set, perfectly complemented by the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. It’s a beautiful combination that is sure to bring joy to anyone who receives it.
Here are the dimensions and step-by-step instructions to create this lovely card:
Measurements:
Boho Blue: 5 ½” x 8 ½” card base
Misty Moonlight: 2 ¼” x 5 ¼”
Basic White: 4” x 4”
Countryside Inn: 2” x 5”
Instructions:
Score your card base on the long side at 4 ¼” and fold.
Adhere the Designer Paper layer and the Misty Moonlight layer together and attach to the card front using Stampin’ SEAL as shown.
Stamp your sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink on the Basic White piece and die cut using the Perennial Postage dies. Then, stamp three dragonflies on the same Basic White cardstock piece using Misty Moonlight.
Stamp the dragonfly wings using Calypso Coral ink stamping off on scrap paper first for the bottom wings to get a lighter shade.
Hand cut the 3 dragonflies using your paper snips.
Attach the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Attach the 3 dragonflies to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add 3 Iridescent Foil Gems to the card front and Wink of Stella to the wings of the dragonflies.
As April approaches, so does the end of an era for many stamping enthusiasts. Stampin’ Up’s retirement list is out, and among the beloved sets bidding us adieu is the timeless “In the Moment” stamp set. This set has been a staple for many of us, offering versatility and creativity for a multitude of projects. As we bid farewell to this classic, let’s take a moment to appreciate its beauty and versatility.
I had to add this stamp set to my collection because it captures the essence of life in a way that resonates deeply with those we make our cards for. The “In the Moment” stamp offers a glimpse into the beauty of everyday moments with its heartfelt imagery and sentiments.
What I love about this set is the line-art images can be colored using your favorite coloring techniques. The intricate line art of the images lends itself beautifully to the soft, ethereal look of watercolors. By simply stamping the images onto watercolor paper and adding a touch of color, you can create stunning works of art that are sure to impress.
Another way to make the most of “In the Moment” is by pairing it with any one of our beautiful designer series paper. The next card highlights the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper,
At the heart of the “In the Moment” stamp set lies a charming depiction of a woman and her faithful companion, a dog by her side as she reads a book. This captures the simple joy of companionship and relaxation. Whether you’re a dog lover yourself or know someone who is, this stamp is sure to tug at the heartstrings and evoke feelings of warmth and that moment one needs for themselves …. Because you deserve it!
If you love a touch of celestial beauty in your projects, look no further than the Stargazing Designer Series Paper. Paired with the “In the Moment” stamp set, this paper brings a sense of serenity and wonder to your cards. The Stargazing paper adds a magical touch to your crafting.
You have to love the image of a woman leisurely enjoying a glass of wine, her gaze fixated on the stars, or make it what you’d like …. watching the sunset, admiring nature’s beauty, or simply lost in her own thoughts, this scene exudes an air of relaxation. It’s a beautiful way to tell someone that they are in your thoughts.
As we bid farewell to the “In the Moment” stamp set, now is the perfect time to stock up on this versatile set and coordinating designer series papers before they retire at the end of April 2024. The “In the Moment” stamp set has something to offer for everyone. Don’t miss your chance to add this classic set to your collection and create heartfelt works of art that will be cherished for years to come.
In today’s blog post, I invite you to join me in celebrating the rustic allure of the countryside, accompanied by the delightful twist of a fun fold technique: the tent fold. The stamp set will be leaving us (retiring) at the end of April so check out some creativity and inspiration.

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?
Happy June 1st …. Today is the day that our designer papers go on sale!!

Today I’d like to share with you another of my Annual Spring Stampin’ Retreat Cards. This card comes from our Friday Night stamp session where I highlighted the In The Moment stamp set … our theme for retreat was Friendships Grow and what better stamp set to use than one that celebrates women!
I also wanted to introduce some new product to my attendee’s, so we used the new Boho Blue In-Color and the Countryside Inn Designer Series paper! Let’s take a look ….
This is such a sweet way to tell your friend to sit back and relax, because they deserve it. The stamp set imagery includes three women relaxing by looking at the landscape with a lovely glass of wine or indulging in a hobby like reading with their furry friend.
The set includes three self-care themed greetings to mix and match with the imagery. The line-art images can be colored using your favorite coloring techniques.
We layered Night of Navy with the Boho Blue and popped it with the Countryside Inn Designer paper. The image was highlighted by framing it with the Scalloped Contours Dies.
The greeting comes from the In the Moment stamp set and was die cut from one of the dies from the Countryside Corners Dies / Bundle. Then we used the new Adhesive Backed Solid Gems. I have all the products used listed below.
I want to thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to join me today.
