Summer is definitely here, making me think of the beach and ocean waves. And, the Waves Of Inspiration Stamp Set is great for masculine birthday cards.
Glimmer Waves
I began today’s masculine, birthday card, by stamping the wave in Starry Sky Ink on Vellum Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 2 1/2″.
While letting the stamped wave dry, I prepared the background. The card base is Starry Sky Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Tahitian Tide Cardstock, 4 7/8″ X 3 7/8″, topped with 2022-2024 In Color 6″ X 6″ Glimmer Paper, 4 3/4″ X 3 3/4″. After the wave dried, I attached it to the Glimmer Paper by adding glue to the of the darkest places in the wave.
“Happy birthday” is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set, stamped in Starry Sky Ink on Tahitian Tide Cardstock, cut with a Sending Die, and attached with Mini Dimensionals.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.

Sale-a-bration is coming July 1st, and Rings of Love Designer Paper is one of the FREE items you can choose with a qualifying order. This sweet home is one of the patterns in pack, which I cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. Then, I backed it with Soft Succulent Cardstock, cut with a Stylish Shapes Die that was one size larger, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Doesn’t it make a nice “new home” card?
New Home Card
For the background, I began with a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with a new designer paper from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, Gingham Cottage, trimmed to fit the size of the trellis. It’s a huge pack of paper, 48 sheets, in a variety of colors. The trellis was cut from Mint Macaron Cardstock with an Organic Beauty Die, which is available now.
While I was gluing things together, I added a bow of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon, also in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.
“Wishing you everything wonderful” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Soft Succulent Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used its Sentiment Silhouettes Die for cutting. I chose this as something nice to say to someone moving to a new home.
I was inspired by TGIF.

Jun 27, 2022 | Gallery, Global Design Project, Hand-Crafted Cards |
This week’s Global Design Project is a fun, color challenge, using Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, and Daffodil Delight. You only have to wait four more days to order the Splendid Thoughts Bundle, and I wanted to give you a sneak peek in this color combo, unlike its coordinating designer paper.
I began by stamping two of the plants, and a bee, from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, in Parakeet Party Ink and Daffodil Delight Ink. The stamp set has “two-step” stamping, which I used for coloring; intentionally not matching the outlines for an artistic look. Then, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut the plants, and the bee, which match the outlines.
Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek #1
Next, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut plants that are “open” from three colors of cardstock: Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight and Basic White.
The bowl is another Splendid Stems Die, cut from Basic White Cardstock that I stamped in Tahitian Tide Ink with a splotch stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. Prior to attaching it with Dimensionals, I stamped it in Memento Black Ink with a sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, “today is a day to remember.”
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4′ X 5 1/4″, given a border with the second largest Stitched with Whimsy Die. This was glued to a Tahitian Tide card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I just love this bundle, and can’t wait to continue making cards with it!
