Hi Stampers. Are you a bird lover? My mom LOVED watching the birds, she had bird feeders all over her yard! She would love this Birds & Branches bundle. This post has two cards for you, same idea but just a little different. Today’s post also comes with a video tutorial!
The first card starts with a Gray Granite card base followed by a layer of Garden Green. The Birds & More Dies were used to make the detailed peek a book circle and the edge on this layer. Using the Birds & Branches stamp set I stamped the tree on the Gray Granite card base front with Soft Suede and Garden Green ink.
The eggs are stamped in Balmy Blue ink onto Balmy Blue CS. Next, the base of the bird and the bird nest were both stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto Very Vanilla CS.
Stampin’ Tip: After I inked the bird nest, I used the brush tip end of a few neutral Stampin’ Write Markers to add a few more browns to the nest by tapping. (See the video for more details on how it’s done.)
The flowers were stamped in Daffodil Delight ink onto Very Vanilla CS and then all pieces were die cut using the Birds & More Dies and then used to make a diorama in the center. Some of the pieces are under the layer and a few are on top, then the layer was added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This card was done slightly different in that I die cut directly into the Garden Green card base and then dry embossed the card front using the Subtle embossing folder. The nest and eggs are stamped directly onto a Very Vanilla layer that is adhered into the inside (right side) of the card.
For the sentiment I stamped the word “thanks” onto a 3/4″ strip of Very Vanilla CS and punched both ends using the Banners Pick a Punch. This label was then attached to the card front using stampin’ dimensionals and then a few pearl basic jewels were added as a final touch.

Hi Stampers, welcome to the weekend! Have any fun plans? Crafting with the Dragonfly Garden bundle, maybe?
Today’s thank you card starts with a Mossy Meadow card base and added some stamped dragonflies from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.
Stampin’ Tip: Stamping onto colored cardstock with the same color ink makes a great background that doesn’t distract from the main element.
For the main focal point, I stamped the sentiment (in Blackberry Bliss ink) and some of the larger dragonflies (in Bumblebee ink) onto a piece of Basic White CS. This is layered on to of a layer of Bumblebee CS. Between these two layers are three 1/2″ strips of the Dandy Garden DSP.
Floating around over the card front are some small dragonflies punched out of Blackberry Bliss CS. The mini Stampin’ Dimensionals fit perfectly under them. I’d also added a few Ladybug Trinkets added using glue dots.
Inside the card is a Whisper White layer with some dragonflies and flowers, also from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Hi Stampers, welcome to our Sale-A-Bration blog hop. We are showing off some of the awesome items that you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2021! Sale-A-Bration will kick off on January 5th, 2021 – the same day our 2021 January to June Mini Catalog goes live. It’s also the day that the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is available to all.
During Sale-A-Bration, for each $50 you spend on Stampin’ Up! product you get a FREE Level 1 item. For each $100 you spend on Stampin’ Up! product you get a FREE Level 2 item or two Level 1 items. Several of the FREE products coordinate with the items in the January to June Mini Catalog.
The Sweet Strawberry bundle is for sale in the Jan-Jun Mini catalog. This bundle consists of the Sweet Strawberry Stamp set and the Strawberry Builder Punch. One of the Level 2 items in the Sale-A-Bration is a coordinating stamp set and DSP. This item contains the Berry Blessings stamp set and the Berry Delightful DSP. They work beautifully together!
My card has a Cherry Cobbler card base with a 3″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White CS adhered in the upper right corner. Over that, I adhered a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of the Berry Delightful DSP (which you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration!). Before adhering it, I used my bone folder to curl back the upper right corner. I used Stampin’ Seal adhesive around most of this layer, but pinned back the corner using a glue dot.
Stampin’ Tip: The Build a Strawberry punch can make a 3D strawberry – just punch out 3 of the strawberries (in Cherry Cobbler) and 3 of the stem and leaves (in Garden Green). Score each strawberry in half and attach them together. Use liquid glue to attach the leaves and stems to each strawberry. Cut off the stem of the center strawberry, leaving the leaves. Adhere the back of the strawberry to the card and the two stems together.
Inside my card is a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of Whisper White CS, adhered with Stampin’ Seal. Two step stamping was done for the strawberry (stamped in two parts – the solid and the detail) in Cherry Cobbler ink. The sentiment and the leaves/stem to the strawberry are stamped in Garden Green ink.

Hi Stampers. Do you need LOTS of cards quickly? This triangle paper piecing card is quick and easy and is great for mass producing.
These paper piecing cards started with an Old Olive card base (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″) and then a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Poppy Parade. Next, I took two pieces of 3-3/4″ x 5″ Ornate Garden DSP.
I took the two pieces of DSP (together) and laid them in the track of my paper trimmer on point and used the paper trimmer to cut an X across both pieces of DSP.
Next, I took the two pieces of DSP and did a mix and match game. I used the top and bottom of one and the two sides of the other on one card and the rest on the second card. (This is the part that makes them paper piecing).
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. I stamped the sentiment, from the Ornate Thanks stamp set, in Poppy Parade ink in the center. In the upper left and lower right corner I stamped the small flower in Memento Black ink and colored them using my Stampin’ Blends.

Hi Stampers. Whew, we did it! We got past Christmas. Now it’s time to think about thank you notes. Wow your friends with this beautiful snowflake spinner card.
This spinner card started with a Highland Heather card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next, I adhered a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of DSP to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Pacific Point CS. I placed this onto the cardbase without adhering (or use temporary adhesive) to die cut the circle out of the front of the card. Using the Layering Circle Dies and the Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut the circle though all three layers.
The snowflakes were die cut from Pacific Point, Highland Heather, Purple Posey & Seaside Spray CS using the Snowflake Dies. The two largest ones were adhered together with a piece of fishing line between the two layers. Additional snowflakes were added using glue dots.
I placed the snowflakes in the center of the circle on the card base and adhered the fishing line above and below the circle using Tear & Tape Adhesive. The Pacific Point layer and DSP layers were added to the card front, securing the fishing line between those and the card base.
The snowflake now spins in the center of the circle – hence the name spinner card. You can twist it a few times before you close it and put it in the envelope, so when the recipient opens it, the snowflake spins.
Inside the spinner card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Whisper White CS, The sentiment was stamped in the center of this layer using Gorgeous Grape ink and the snowflakes on top and bottom are stamped in Highland Heather and Seaside Spray ink. More detailed instructions can be found in the video below.

Hi Stampers. Have you seen the Prized Peony Die, it’s so pretty that you don’t really need to do any stamping to make a gorgeous card! The beautiful Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (currently on sale) makes the perfect backdrop.
This card starts with a Thick Whisper White card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next, is a layer of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, cut to 4″ x 5-/14″. Adhesive Sheet was added to the back of a piece of Whisper White CS and used the Many Medallions Die to die cut and then cut that in half to add to the card front.
The various parts of the Peony Flower were die cut from Petal Pink CS and then sponged with Petal Pink ink using a sponge dauber. They were then put together by matching up the notches on the bottom and using liquid glue. THIS VIDEO on my YouTube Channel will show you how to easily assemble the flower. Old Olive CS was used to make the leaves and Basic Black CS was used for the very center of the flower. A few basic pearl jewels added the perfect touch to the front of the card.
Inside, the card I used the Prized Peony stamp set to stamp a few flowers across the bottom and the sentiment in the center using Petal Pink ink. The final touch was adding some DSP to the flap of the envelope. To do this, I glued a piece of 2-1/4″ x 6″ strip of DSP to the flap and trimmed off the excess using Paper Snips. This is a super easy was to add a big impact to the card.
