Stampin’ Up!’s Season of Chic Bundle attracted my attention because it contains images and dies that can be used for all of the seasons. This makes it versatile–something I can use year round. It includes seashells for summer, leaves for fall, snowflakes for winter, and flowers for spring. Find it on pages 98 and 99 of Stampiin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
The bundle includes the Season of Chic stamp set and the Chic Dies. The bundled price includes a 10 percent discount. And, the Texture Chic 12 x 12 Designer Series is a must-have item. I love the gold highlights in the sheets.
I grabbed this bundle from the shelf to create a birthday for a friend who loves the beach. The seashells images work perfectly as does the sentiment. I also added Petal Pink panel embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.
With just a little bit of extra time to play, I created the two additional cards below with different elements from the suite.
The card above features a flower image, stamped and die cut.
And, this final card uses the “swoosh” element. It reminds me of a similar image from the Work of Art stamp set. I loved using it for backgrounds and tried it here. The Designer Series Paper above comes from the Design a Daydream 12 x 12 package. (Earn it free as a hostess. Ask me how!)

Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog presents a host of new awesome products, including the Sun Prints Suite. The suite includes the Nature’s Prints stamp set, Nature’s Prints Dies, Sun Prints 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
I love shades of blue, so this Designer Series Paper caught my eye immediately. It features Night of Navy, Pacific Point, and the new Starry Sky In Color.
Please enjoy the Sun Prints Card Samples I’ve created. And be sure to watch the YouTube Video (a Facebook live replay from May 5, 2022) at the end of this post.
The above card uses white heat embossing to create a stunning flower image.

I was fortunate to celebrate a birthday at the end of January. And I enjoyed receiving a ton of cards in the mail. Many of them came from my paper crafting friends. They are all so beautiful. (Watch the video below to see some of the cards I received.)
I decided to re-create one of the cards using Stampin’ Up!’s Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper. Earn it free during SaleABration for a minimum order (before tax and shpping). Offers ends February 28.
This paper screams fun and happiness and can be used in many ways.
Today, I share three different cards with the same layout using this awesome package of Designer Series Paper. Receive forty-eight sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs.
Sunshine & Rainbows Birthday Card
Die cut three pieces of patterned paper with the the Stitched Rectangle Dies. If you don’t have these dies, just use your paper trimmer to cut the rectangles yourself.
Layer them on a piece of card stock measuring 4 x 2 inches.
Then place this piece on a 5 1/4 x 4 inch of Designer Series Paper.
Tie a ribbon around this before placing on your card front.
Add a sentiment of your choice.
I choose the Happy Birthday from Stampin’ Up!’s Special Moments stamp set. (Earn this free with a $100 purchase — before tax and shipping — during SaleABration — through February 28, 2022.)
It’s so easy and so fun to change the look and feel of the card with all of the different patterns.

I started playing with Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan Suite last week, and I’ve already used a whole package of the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Once I got stamping and creating, the ideas just kept coming. Find this awesome collection of products in Stampin’ Up!’ January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. See this post for additional card samples, ideas, and a video.
Your Biggest Fan Birthday
The card above uses a fun embossing technique.
cut a piece of the baseball-looking paper from the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper at 5 x 3 3/4 and the die cut it using Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies. The circles remind me of baseballs!
pop the circles out and glue the circles onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4 inches.
run this whole piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine in the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
add the sentiment (stamped in Night of Navy) from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set
layer on a piece of Poppy Parade card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4
tie the red/white baker’s twine
include some of the fun Resin Star embellishments.
It’s a fun technique that just gives the card a different look. Here’s a close up look.
One feature I love about the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is that many of the sheets include images you can die cut with the Sports Events Dies. I used the coordinating dies to get all of the images. With the pile on my crafting space, I grabbed pieces to create cards and all fun elements. The card above shows how I used some of the fun “ticket” pieces to make a birthday card.
Here’s one more card sample that shows the use of the tickets die cut from the designer series paper.
Here’s another card sample using the tickets die cut from the designer series paper.
Sports Event Dies (purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10 percent)
Fan Baker’s Twine (one spool each of Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, and Poppy Parade/white)
Resin Stars Embellishments.
Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (love, love, love this paper. I especially love the the coordinating dies cut images directly from the DSP. It makes it handy to have lots of pieces to craft with).
I’ve had so much fun with this collection of products. I hope you’ve enjoyed the samples as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.
