I used the components to create a pocket card. Here are some basic directions for creating the pocket card. (Be sure to watch the video below for step-by-step instructions). Read below to see a few more samples of this fun card design.

Friendly Hello Pocket Card

  • Form the base with a piece of Pool Party card stock that measures 11 x 4 1/4 inches. Score at 1 1/4 inches and 5 1/2 inches.
  • Round the edges with the Detailed Trio Punch.
  • Fold the card in half, and then fold the small piece down toward you.
  • Adhere a piece of the patterned paper measuring 4 x 3 inches to the bottom. Glue another design measuring 1 4 x 4 inches on the small flap.
  • With Tear and Tape, as close to each edge as possible. form the pocket. Tape the small flap down.
  • Decorate with any stamp sets, dies, and inks you like. For this card, I stamped the Hello Friend sentiment in Memento Ink and die cut with a shape from the Tasteful Labels Dies. Add embellishments such as ribbons and jewels.
  • Card insert: Colored, coordinating card stock border piece measures 5 x 3 inches and the Basic White measures 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches.

Catching Butterflies Pocket Card

This pocket card uses two additional free SaleABration products: Catching Butterflies stamp set and Simply Marbelous 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Daffodil Afternoon Pocket Card

The above card uses the free SaleABration Daffodil Afternoon 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and the medium daisy punch. Sentiment comes from the Catching Butterflies SaleABration stamp set.

Sunshine & Rainbows Pocket Card

Another pocket card. This one uses the free SaleABation Sunshine & Rainbows 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. The sentiment comes from the Special Moments stamp set (free during SaleABration with a $100 order before tax and shipping).

  • Choose a Designer Series Paper. You’ll need one piece that measures 4 x 2 ½ inches and one that measures 1 x 4 inches.
  • Fold the card on the score line. Adhere the 4 x 2 ½ inch piece of DSP to that front flap.
  • Adhere the 1 x 4-inch piece to a 5 ¼ x 4-inch piece of Whisper White card stock. Place this inside the card.
  • Decorate the 4 ¼ x 3 ¼ inch piece as you wish. I added sentiments and an image to a piece of Basic White card stock measuring 4 x 3 inches. Attach to the front of the card on that small flap. Be sure to apply adhesive only to the left-hand side of the small piece so you don’t tape the card closed.

Clean and Simple Happy Thoughts

Clean and Simple Happy Thoughts

Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog has been live for one month already. It’s filled with an awesome variety of new stamp sets, die cuts, punches, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, and more. I hope you’ve had a chance to play with some of the products.

As you may know, my list of faves include the Flowering Cactus Medley and the Friendly Flamingo Bundle. (I’ve created and posted quite a few samples using these products.) Every so often, I need a bunch of cards — in a hurry. I really like the font showcased in the Happy Thoughts stamp set. The sentiments lend themselves well to all of the occasions I use the most: They include: Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Thank You, and Congratulations.

Stampin' Up! Happy Thoughts Stamp Set

I found a clean and simple sketch (inspired by Mary Bush), that allows me to use the above sentiments. The variety of Designer Series Paper also lets me change the look and feel of the card. I call it my Clean and Simple Happy Thoughts card.

Clean and Simple Happy Thoughts

Here are the basic cutting and card stock measurements. (Also, look for a how-to video at the end of the post):

  • Card stock base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
  • Card stock layer: 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
  • Designer Series Paper of your choice: 3 x 4 (the free Sale-A-Bration choices work well as do any of Stampin’ Up!’s patterned paper)
  • Label with Tasteful Labels Dies (the Stitched Rectangles also work well here)
  • Coordinating ribbon and embellishments

Clean and Simple Happy ThoughtsThis card uses the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper you can earn free during SaleABration with a $50 order before tax and shipping.

Stampin' Up! Happy ThoughtsThis card features Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper that you can earn free with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) during SaleABration.

Blending Brush Backgrounds

Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog features a host of brand-new products. It includes everything from exclusive stamp sets, coordinating dies and punches, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, embellishments, and tools.

The Blending Brushes (on page 70) offer a new opportunity to add dimension to your paper crafting projects. These brushes lend themselves to a host of techniques. I’ve started using these velvety soft brushes to create backgrounds.

Blending Brushes Flowering Cactus

The card above uses elements from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley. I’ve been “stuck” on the medley and thought the blending brushes create a beautiful background (just like the desert sunsets). The cactus sits against a soft scene created with Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight, and Bumblebee ink sponged on with the brushes.

Maui Achievers January Blog Hop

The card above features two stamps each available free with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) during Stampin’ Up’s SaleABration promotion. (Card inspired by Theresa Huffman). Working from the bottom up, the blended colors are Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral, and Bumblebee. I just love the soft effect delivered with the use of the Blending Brushes.
