Welcome to Team Stamp It’s February Blog Hop! Thanks for joining us. This month, we feature handmade greeting cards and projects with a spring theme. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop and leave a comment. You could win a Confetti Birthday Card Kit.
Everyday Details for Spring
My post today showcases Stampin’ Up!’s Everyday Details stamp set. Find it in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. To me, the bird nest symbolizes spring. I paired it with a spring sentiment found in the February Paper Pumpkin kit. (Another spring sentiment can be found in the Excellent Eggs stamp set, also available in the spring mini catalog.)
Here are the measurements for the card:
Lost Lagoon card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/2 x 3 and 3 x 4 1/4
Basic White die cut circle with largest Everyday Details Dies
Stamped nest in Memento Black ink and colored with Boho Blue, Lost Lagoon, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo Packs
Springtime Greetings sentiment from February 2024 Paper Pumpkin stamped in Lost Lagoon ink
Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon
Lost Lagoon gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack
Here’s another card design created with the same elements, but with a different layout. In the card below, I use the Perennial Postage Dies in addition to the other card making products listed above.
Thanks so much for visiting the blog hop today. Gets lots more rubber stamping inspiration as you visit each web site on the hop. Leave a comment on each for an opportunity to win the Confetti Birthday Card Kit.

Today, I’m showing you how I’m sending sunshine Stampin’ Up! style!
In case you hadn’t heard, a new trend is here: Sharing Sunshine (#ShareSushine). You fill a box with any yellow items you can find, and send it to someone to let them know you’re thinking of them. Stampin’ Up!’s June monthly crafting kit, Paper Pumpkin, focused on sharing sunshine. The kit contents, delivered in a bright yellow box, contained cards that featured sunshine and caring. We created the cards and decorated the box and sent it to a friend.
Unfortunately, the kit sold out. But you can still share sunshine using Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes. A package of 10 boxes costs just $7.50. Decorate them any way you like, fill with goodies, and send.
Sending Sunshine
The boxes come in plain white. I colored the box above with Stampin’ Up!”s Sponge Brayers and Balmy Blue ink, layering on the ink until I received the desired look. I didn’t strive for a perfect solid color; I wanted it to look like sky with a few wispy clouds overhead.
To create the sun, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies (large circle) and the Stitched Triangles (itty bitty triangle) to die cut the images from one sheet of the Playful Patterns 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the June Paper Pumpkin directly on the box using Memento ink. Don’t have that stamp set? Stampin’ Up!’s Under My Umbrella and Sending Sunshine also have sayings appropriate for a box of sunshine.
I added a piece of yellow tissue paper and a handful of fun, yellow items. Ready to send to a friend!
Take a look at this YouTube video showing how I created the box. (It’s a replay of a Facebook Live.)
