Today’s the day! My wonderful SU Demo friend, Janet, is working the last day of her long career at Darden! To celebrate her retirement, I made this card with the Stampin’ UP! Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. I sure hope it got to her before she reads this post!! If not…Congrats to you, Janet- it’s in your mailbox! It would be just like us to have you see it here first…lol.

You know I love Janet if I fussy cut something!

It is actually a gift card holder. Start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base and score at 1-1/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Fold up the 1-1/4″ section to make the pocket. I printed off a gift card for her, folded it in half, and tucked it in the pocket. I stamped on it to finish it off:)

The sentiment on the folded gift certificate is from the 2020 Sale-a-bration Stamp Set called Sending Thoughts- the font worked well with the Beautiful Friendship sentiment. I think the Ornate Frames Dies were just perfect with the stamped flowers.

After folding up the pocket, the card becomes a 4-1/4″ square. The Seaside Spray layers on the front and inside are 4″ squares and the Very Vanilla layers are 3-3/4″ squares. The Misty Moonlight Square around the largest Stitched Shapes Square is the largest in the Layering Squares.

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

Here’s a super cute card to make using any stamp set and label dies…but boy, does the Hippo Happiness Bundle work well with this fun fold!

Look at the cutie patootie lamb and the punny little sentiment:)

A Happy Monday to you…wishing you all have a wonderful week ahead!

I had a bunch of 3/4″ scraps of Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper and the In Color Bumblebee laying on my crafting table and came up with this bright card. I love how easy it is to coordinate the colors on a card by using Stampin’ UP! DSP as your guide!

I stamped and colored some posies from the Stampin’ UP! Dressed to Impress Stamp Set on the inside. I am really loving Magenta Madness which I was not as excited about in June.

I had a few Curvy Dies scraps on my desk and kept thinking of a zebra…so I pulled out my Stampin’ UP! Celebration of Tags with the cute little guy!

It was hard to get a good pic of the card so I played around with some background paper..it’s popping off the page, huh? Just some fun in my stamping room I thought I would share with you:)
