I hope everyone will be having a nice Father’s Day celebration. Today’s card is good for a guy, created with the Beauty Of The Deep Bundle. The first thing I did was use a Beauty Of The Deep Die to cut the “coral” from Dry Brushed Metallic Paper. You can see the shine in my last photo. Isn’t it pretty?
Beauty Of The Deep
To go with the coral, I used a Beauty Of The Deep Stamp to stamp “seaweed” in Lost Lagoon Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Beauty Of The Deep Die for cutting.
Next, I stamped the fish in VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock, sprinkled them with Gold Embossing Powder, set them with the Heat Tool, and used their fish die for cutting.
The background is Hello Irresistible Designer Paper that I thought would make a good underwater scene. It was cut 1/8″ smaller than the Basic White Cardstock (4″ X 5 1/4″) beneath it, and I used the largest Stylish Shapes Die to cut the circle. Everything was glued to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The Hello Irresistible DSP is on sale the month of June. I recommend ordering now, before it goes back to regular price. You can see all of the discounted designer paper below.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Waves Of Inspiration Stamp Set, stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink, and cut with a Sending Die. After attaching the label with Dimensionals, I added a small piece of coral, cut from the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper with a Beauty Of The Deep Die.
Attaching the fish with Dimensionals was the last step.
I was inspired by TGIF.

It’s easy to create a card front in just a few steps with the Gorgeous Garden Dies.
Gorgeous Garden
First, I made the card base with Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Gorgeous Garden Die to cut Masterfully Made Designer Paper that measured the size of the card front, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. If you’re wondering, the die worked well with DSP, and the numerous small pieces fell out without a problem. Cardstock is thicker, and required some removal time.
By placing the die in the center of the DSP, it has a small border. How do you like the colorful leaves? This amazing DSP is on sale through the end of June, so order it now, before it goes back to regular price!
After gluing the leafy die-cut to the card front, I created the sentiment. “May the good you do come back to you” is from the Something Fancy Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Something Fancy Die for cutting. Then, I used a size larger Something Fancy Die to cut Regals 6″ X 6″ DSP, and attached the labels with Dimensionals.

Today’s card combines Masterfully Made Designer Paper and Deckled Rectangles Dies, each with the look of “torn” paper. I began with a card base in Lost Lagoon, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and Masterfully Made Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die.
Torn Paper
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut the words in three sections. “I thank God every time I think of you” is from the Hope & Prayer Stamp Set. After gluing the words on the designer paper, I embossed the layer with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.
The branch was cut with a Gorgeously Made Die from Masterfully Made Designer Paper. After layering it with cardstock for thickness, I glued it in place.
I recommend ordering this designer paper, while it’s discounted for the month of June. All of the discounted designer paper is listed below.
Three Iridescent Pearls were added as a final touch.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is the New 2023-2025 In Colors. We hope you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
It’s always exciting to use the new, “In Colors,” and I chose Boho Blue for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I created the background with Boho Blue Ink and a Bending Brush. While holding an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask in place with my hand, I smoothed the color onto Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Along with the new colors, I used two new die sets. If you haven’t noticed them before, take a look now! You can see the complete sets in my Product List below.
“Feel Better Soon”
The Paper Florist Dies is one of the new die sets. I colored Basic White Cardstock with Moody Mauve Ink and a Blending Brush for the die-cut petals, and the flower centers were cut from Fresh As A Daisy Designer in Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat. The leaves were cut from Basic White Cardstock. After curling the petals with a Bone Folder, I attached them with Dimensionals, and glued the centers in place.
The sentiment, “feel better soon,” is from the Wanted To Say Die Set, and I used Pebbled Path to cut the words. Pebbled Path is a great, neutral color, and don’t you love the font? The “bubble” beneath the words is Basic White Cardstock, which enabled me to raise the thin words on Dimensionals.
In addition to the five new “In Colors,” this was Stampin’ Up’s! year for a color refresh. I had fun arranging all of the colors in Stampin’ Up’s! Ink Pad & Marker Storage. The storage units are on page 124 in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, and in my Product List below.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate you!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 12th, when our theme will be CASE the Catalog, when the design team chooses a card from the new Annual Catalog and recreates it with their own creative twist.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch. Be inspired by our designers, then hang your design in our gallery.
I began my design by stamping a Scenic Wonders stamp on Earthen Elegance Designer Paper. By using a Sponge Dauber to apply the Lost Lagoon Ink I was able to control the amount of ink on this “distinktive” stamp. Then, I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting. The same die was used to cut Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, which I glued at an angle on the card base. The card base is Lost Lagoon Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I like how this specialty paper blends with Lost lagoon, and adds shine to the card. It’s not in the catalog, but is available in Online Exclusives, with links below.
“Live your biggest dream”
Next, I added a row of Natural Wavy Trim, and Simply Elegant Trim, adhered with Tear & Tape. This was done by placing the tape across the card front, and wrapping it around the sides to the back. For extra durability, I glued the layer to cardstock, before attaching it to the card base with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “live your biggest dream,” is from the Scenic Wonders Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Earthen Elegance DSP, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and backed it with more of the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper.
I embellished the sentiment with one of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. These are great, because they are self-adhesive and flat, making them easy apply and send in the mail.

The Timeless Arrangements Bundle offers unique design possibilities. The dies have small foliage on bars, making it easy to apply to the sentiment labels. For my first play with this bundle, I used the dies with Masterfully Made Designer Paper.
Framed Arrangements
This photo shows the backside of the sentiment label.
Prior to gluing the foliage to the label, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Timeless Arrangements Die for cutting. “You make me smile” is one of the many sentiments in the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set.
To frame the sentiment, I used two Radiating Stitched Dies with Masterfully Made Designer Paper, running them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine at the same time. Then, I glued the frame to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Masterfully Made Designer Paper is one of the discounted papers available this month. You can see all of them below.
The last detail was adding three, Self-Adhesive Flat Pearls.
