Festive Friday: Llama Fun Fold Card Featuring Long Time No See

Leave a comment

Welcome back to another Festive Friday! This week I’m continuing my Christmas card series with a fun and festive creation using the Long Time No See stamp set — the same set I featured in this week’s Card Class To Go.

This card is all about holiday cheer, bright colours, and a playful layout! It features a bold Granny Apple Green card base with a fun fold layout, making it extra interactive and perfect for sending a bit of joy this holiday season.

🎨 Design Details:

  • Stamp Set: Long Time No See
  • Card Base: Granny Apple Green
  • Designer Series Paper: Take a Bow DSP (retiring – Last Chance!)
  • Colouring: Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce
  • Embellishments: Peppermint Dots add a sweet, dimensional touch
  • Sentiment: “Merry Merry Merry Christmas” – a playful stacked greeting to match the llama’s long scarf!

I love how this card combines whimsy with traditional Christmas colours. The Take a Bow DSP adds a fun polka-dot backdrop, and this fold is sure to stand out on the mantel.

✂️ Tips & Tricks:

  • Mix and match Stampin’ Blends for a soft, blended fur effect on the llama.
  • Stack your sentiments with dimensionals for added depth.
  • Use a white gel pen to add highlights to your lights or scarf for a pop of brightness.

📦 Don’t Forget!
The Take a Bow DSP is on the Last Chance List, so grab it before it’s gone! And if you loved this stamp set, check out this week’s Card Class To Go featuring more fun llama-themed designs!

Throwback Thursday: Sweetly Sentimental with So Sentimental

Leave a comment

I love digging into my retired favourites for Throwback Thursday, and this week I reached for the classic So Sentimental stamp set and coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies. These two retired gems were always a go-to for quick but polished cards—and they still hold up beautifully!

For today’s card, I started with a Secret Sea card base and layered on a Basic White panel. To build the background, I used a bold strip of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, along with two strips of cardstock in Strawberry Slush and Summer Splash. I embossed both cardstock pieces using the Glass and Gardens Embossing Folders to add gorgeous texture and dimension.

The sentiment is stamped from the So Sentimental set and cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies—still one of my all-time favourite label sets. To finish off the card, I added a bow made from White 1/4″ Ribbon and a few of the 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Secret Sea. These little pearls are just the right touch of shimmer!

🎨 Tips & Tricks

  • Try this layout using whatever sentiment and label dies you have on hand. It’s versatile and a great way to use up DSP scraps!
  • Embossing contrasting cardstock pieces adds texture without overwhelming your design.
  • Use tone-on-tone colour schemes (like Secret Sea pearls on a Secret Sea base) to keep embellishments subtle and elegant.

✨ Make It Your Own
Don’t have So Sentimental? No problem! This design is the perfect blank canvas. Swap in your favourite sentiment set and label dies to suit any occasion—from birthdays to thank-yous and everything in between.

Festive Friday: Sending a Jar Full of Cheer!

Leave a comment

After a brief rest from Festive Friday (end-of-school exhaustion is real!), I’m back and excited to share this vibrant Christmas card featuring the brand-new Jar of Joy stamp set — an Online Exclusive you won’t find in any catalogue!

I lThis cheerful card came together using the following festive favourites:

🎄 Iridescent Pearls – for a subtle holiday sparkle
🎄 Basics 3D Embossing Folder – for the textured background

The adorable jar is filled with gingerbread cookies and festive treats, and the sentiment “Sending a jar full of cheer” adds the perfect seasonal message. I layered strips of DSP to create a fun, playful background and popped the jar up with dimensionals for added interest.

🫙 CRAFTING TIP: Use scraps of coordinating DSP to build quick and dynamic backgrounds — it’s a great way to use every last bit of your paper!

Throwback Thursday: A Sweet Elephant Surprise

Leave a comment

This week’s Throwback Thursday card brings all the heartwarming feels with a gentle nod to the past. I used the retired Wildly Happy stamp set—one of my all-time favourites for baby cards. Those adorable elephants are stamped in Basic Gray and softly coloured with Smoky Slate Blends, making them the perfect centrepiece for this new baby design.

To keep the card fresh and on-trend, I paired the stamped panel with the cheerful floral print from the 2025–2027 In Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper. The soft Timid Tiger background gives just the right pop of warmth and coordinates beautifully with the sweet Lost Lagoon sentiment:

“So tiny…so small…so loved by all.”

The finishing touch? Sparkle! I added a trio of the new Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems—they catch the light and add just a bit of shimmer without overwhelming the soft colour palette.

🌟 Design Details:

  • Stamp Set: Retired Wildly Happy
  • Ink: Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon
  • Colouring: Smoky Slate Blends
  • DSP: 2025–2027 In Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper
  • Embellishments: Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
  • Cardstock: Basic White, Lost Lagoon (layering strip)

💡 Tip: When using DSP as a card panel, cut your layering cardstock and DSP into strips and layer them behind the elephants. It saves paper and nobody will ever know!

✨ Whether you’re making cards to welcome a little one or simply revisiting favourite stamp sets, blending retired treasures with current supplies is a fun and budget-friendly way to craft.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – June 2025 Featuring the Boho Vibes Suite

Leave a comment

Welcome back, friends! It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re celebrating our favourite new products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue. I chose to feature the Boho Vibes Suite, paired with the versatile Everyday Details Arches Dies, to create a vibrant, feel-good card.

🌟 Card Details:

  • Card base: Secret Sea cardstock
  • Rainbow: Cut using the Sunshine Vibes Dies in Berry Burst, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, and Strawberry Slush
  • Sentiment: Stamped in Secret Sea ink
  • Embellishments: Muted Pallette Dots from the suite
  • Layout: The rainbow is layered inside the stitched arch from the Everyday Details dies. The background DSP (also from the suite) brings a bold graphic flair that contrasts beautifully with the soft whites and vibrant rainbow.

I love how this colour palette and die combo brings instant joy and positivity—just perfect for sending good vibes!

💡 Design Tip:
Apply Adhesive Sheets to your cardstock before die-cutting the rainbow pieces. This makes it so much easier to assemble the design—no liquid glue, no sticky fingers, and perfectly clean placement every time!

🌈Hop Along With Us!

Be sure to hop along with us and see what the rest of the Coast to Coast team has created using new Annual Catalogue products. So much inspiration ahead!

Festive Friday | GDP500 CASE the Designer Challenge: Hanukkah Card

Leave a comment

This week’s Festive Friday project is extra special! I’m joining in on the Global Design Project’s GDP500 CASE the Designer challenge — and I’ve put my own twist on Kim Fee’s beautiful Christmas card by creating a Hanukkah-themed version. That’s the fun of CASE-ing — Copy And Selectively Edit!

My card features:

🟦 Florals in Bloom DSP — the bold Secret Sea print really pops!
💙 Stamps in Night of Navy ink — classic and crisp for that star-studded look.
🎀 Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon — a long-time fave that’s now on the Last Chance list! Don’t miss it.
✨ Loose Gold Sequins — perfect for a touch of sparkle.

This layout is so versatile — it was fun to take inspiration from Kim’s Christmas card and use it to celebrate another beautiful holiday.

🎨 CASE Tip: Keep the bold sentiment and balanced background while swapping out colors, occasion, or embellishments to make the design your own.

Gamer Birthday Card with Fun Fold | Stampin’ Up! Throwback Thursday

Leave a comment

Welcome to this week’s Throwback Thursday, where I feature a fun mix of current Stampin’ Up! products with some retired favourites! This week’s card was created for my video game–loving son’s 17th birthday—and I couldn’t resist pulling out the retired Level Complete stamp set to make something truly personal.

✂️ Design Details:

  • Card Base: Secret Sea cardstock, 5 ½” X 6-3/4″, scored at 4-1/4″ .
  • DSP Layers: Florals in Bloom 12×12 DSP on the front panel, and a custom-stamped Cloud Cover panel inside featuring repeated gamer icons from the stamp set.
  • Focal Point: The video game controller from Level Complete, stamped in Secret Sea Ink on Basic White and coloured subtly with Stampin’ Blends. It’s layered on die cuts from the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature Dies, with the outer layer in Secret Sea. This layer was scored about 1/2″ in and glued between the Cloud Cover and Secret Sea layers to create a flap
  • Sentiment: “Happy Birthday” is heat embossed in white on Secret Sea, then die-cut with a Stylish Shapes stitched banner.
  • Embellishments: A few2025-2027 in Color Flat Pearls add a touch of shine without making the card too “blingy” for a teen boy.

The mix of old and new really makes this card shine—and those new 2025–2027 In Colors (Secret Sea and Cloud Cover) are so versatile!

Festive Friday – Most Wonderful Wreath Card with Watercolour & Heat Embossing

Leave a comment

Festive Friday is here again, and I’m thrilled to share this cool-toned, elegant card featuring the brand-new Most Wonderful stamp set from Stampin’ Up!®

This project is all about layers, texture, and techniques. Here’s how it came together:

🔹 I started by heat embossing the wreath image from the stamp set in clear embossing powder onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
🔹 Once it cooled, I added a loose Pretty Peacock watercolour wash right over the top. The resist technique lets that wreath pop through beautifully!
🔹 After drying, I layered the panel onto a Pool Party card base.

For the sentiment, I used a Basic White banner cut by hand and stamped with the gorgeous large script from the Most Wonderful stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink. It’s mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals for that pop!

✨ Embellishing details:

  • Die-cut foliage in Pool Party (from the Year of Flowers dies)
  • A bow of Linen Thread for a rustic holiday touch
  • And the lightest gems from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems pack to add a subtle sparkle.

💡 Tips for Your Craft Table:

  • Clear embossing + watercolour is a must-try combo! The resist effect gives amazing texture and depth without overpowering your focal image.
  • Use colour families like Pretty Peacock + Pool Party for soft elegance and contrast with a bold ink like Strawberry Slush to help your sentiment shine.
  • Precut die shapes in a neutral or coordinating colour to keep handy when layering up quick cards.

Throwback Thursday – Graduation Card with Slim Sayings & School Days

Leave a comment

This week I’m reaching into my stash to spotlight the retired Slim Sayings stamp set, used here for a bold and joyful “Congrats to the Graduate”. Graduation season is upon us, and I’m loving how this layout blends nostalgia with sparkle using both retired and current Stampin’ Up! products.

🖤 Design Details:

  • Sentiment from Slim Sayings stamped in Secret Sea Ink
  • Graduation cap from the School Days Online Exclusive set
  • Background embossed using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder
  • Patterned layer is from the Florals in Bloom 12×12 DSP
  • Secret Sea panel with gold heat-embossed stars
  • Both panels framed in Summer Splash cardstock
  • Embellished with In Color Flat Pearls (Summer Splash)

💡 Pro Tip:
The Mini Corrugated folder shrinks your paper. To achieve a finished panel of 5¼” x 4″, start with a 5½” x 4″ piece, emboss it, and trim the excess. This keeps your layout crisp and even.

✨ A touch of gold embossing on the tassel adds a celebratory feel, while Summer Splash pearls echo the card’s soft colour palette. This design would work beautifully for high school, college, or kindergarten grads alike!

Do you have a go-to retired stamp for milestone celebrations? I love revisiting old favourites like Slim Sayings for bold sentiments that still shine.

Festive Friday: Sweet Jar + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Leave a comment

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

Today’s project is bursting with charm and sweetness thanks to the Sweet Jar bundle, one of my new favourites. I filled the stamped jar with Real Red hearts and peppermint candies and layered it over a bold print from the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—which is retiring soon, so grab it before it’s gone!

To give the layout some balance and polish, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create crisp stitched circles behind the jar and sentiment. The sentiment comes from mixing the a sentiment from the Sweet Jar stamp set with the classic Greetings of the Season stamp set.

But the real magic? That Secret Sea ink and thin trim of cardstock—just enough to cool down all that red and make everything pop. It’s my new go-to neutral and I’m obsessed!

The Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots and a simple bow of Real Red & White Baker’s Twine complete the look with a playful, candy-cane twist.
