Stampin' Up! Napkin Birthday Card

A friend asked me how to make a card with a napkin as we had done that years ago in our group. I gave her the messy instructions and then decided to try something different. I had been cleaning out a drawer and came across some Avery full sheet labels. Hmmm, wonder what happens if I peel off the sticky side and adhere the napkin? Well, let me show you the result... 

It worked! There are a few wrinkles but it was my first attempt at this technique. Since it was a 12" x 12" napkin, I made two more cards from it.  I will post those 6/30/25. But for now...

 Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun Father's Day Card

Happy Father's Day is in order for my son-in-love. No, he's not my father but he is the father of JarJar. Jar is my grandson of the feathery kind. He is at least 26 years old and he is handsome but not pick-upable for me. 

Using Kendra Morgan's April 2025 digital and a couple of Stampin' Up! stamps, I created this card for JarJar to give his "dad" who loves bourbon!

JarJar is mostly green with a little blue and red. I love the colors in Kendra's digi (although my phone and printer didn't pick up the brilliance). I cut it out with the second to largest die in the Textured Notes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the retired Adventurous Sky Stamp Set in retired Orchid Oasis Ink. The card base is retired Cucumber Crush Card Stock.

For the inside...

I stamped the sentiments (Orchid Oasis Ink) and glass of bourbon using the retired Whiskey Business Stamp Set. The bird is from the Feathered Fun Stamp Set. I stamped him in retired Wild Wasabi Ink and colored him with Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Blends and a Light Daffodil Delight Blend. The bourbon is colored with a retired Wild Wheat Stamp N' Write Marker, the ice cubes are colored with Gold Wink of Stella and the glass was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink. I don't have good luck coloring with markers and should have watercolored it.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are having a blessed Sunday.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Fun Fold Birthday Card for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "celebrate summer" and we can interpret that any way we want and use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, along with Everyday Arches Dies. 

 

 

Let's look at the bigger picture, shall we?

 

Weyermann's Whimsey was my inspiration for this card. She has a video here.

I also used the Textured Notes Dies and  2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Stampin' Up! Fan Fold Sympathy Card

Good Monday morning, peeps. This is another sympathy card using the Perennial Lavender DSP. This is another fan fold but with an "oops". I cut the base at 4 1/4" x 11" and folded it at 5 1/2". All my others have been 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". It took some finagling!
