The focal point for today’s card is the wonderful bird cage from the Birdhouse Dies Set, cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock.
I tied a knot of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon at the top of the bird cage, attached with a Glue Dot.
Baby Wipe Background
The birds are from the Pretty Birds Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used Parakeet Party Ink to color them with their “two-step” stamp, and their Birdhouse Die for cutting. The Stamparatus comes in handy for placement with “two-step” stamping.
The back ground was created with a technique using Baby Wipes. First, I put two drops of Ink from the Granny Apple Green Re-Ink Bottle on the “D” Clear Block. Second, I wadded a Baby Wipe in my hand, and touched it, randomly, to Shimmery White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. Third, I repeated this with Mint Macaron. Fourth, I stamped a fern (Nature’s Print Stamp Set) in Shaded Spruce Ink. After stamping, I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles die for Cutting.
My stamped piece was layered on Garden Green Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and glued to a Granny Apple Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to attaching the bird cage with Dimensionals, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. “It’s a good day” is from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set.

When you have a beautiful image, it doesn’t take much to make a pretty card. Take a look at the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set for “quick & easy” stamping.
The “Distinktive” images stamped beautifully in Garden Green Ink and Pear Pizzazz Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″. And, I stamped “hello” in Evening Evergreen Ink. Don’t you love the font?
Seedlings in green
After stamping, I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. Then, I attached this layer to Subtles 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper (Pear Pizzazz), cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, which I glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
For one more shade of Green, I attached three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Parakeet Party. The dots happen to be my gift for the month of July, and you can see below how to make them yours.

The Bewitching Bundle makes quick & easy Halloween cards, and it’s fun adding a touch of color with Stampin’ Blends: Sweet Sorbet, Pumpkin Pie, and Basic Black.
“hey there!”
I stamped the hat in Sweet Sorbet Ink, used the Witch Hat Builder Punch for cutting, colored the dots and hat band, and attached with Dimensionals.
The sentiment,”hey there!” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. The witch’s shoes, legs, and spider are from the Bewitching Stamp Set, also stamped in Memento Black Ink, on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the second largest Scalloped Contours Die for cutting.
The background is Gingham Cottage Designer Paper in Pumpkin Pie, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die. After gluing the layers together, I glued them to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.

Today’s card is a combination of two favorites from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog: Regal Reindeer, and Aspen Tree Dies. The reindeer was cut from Soft Suede Cardstock, the tree from Garden Green cardstock, the harness from Real Red Cardstock, and the star & ornaments from Gold Foil Sheets.
Tree Decorating
The background for the tree decorating scene was cut with an Aspen Trees Die from Basic White Cardstock. I glued this to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the bunny (his helper) from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink.
“Peace On Earth” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I used the Double Oval Punch for cutting, which includes the scalloped, Crumb Cake, backing, and attached the two with Dimensionals.
Have you seen the Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets? They are so cute, I had to tie one on the sentiment with Linen Thread! It’s secured with a Glue Dot, and because they are flat, they are easy to mail.
I’m sharing with TGIF’s Christmas in July.

It’s always fun to CASE the designers, and this week’s Global Design Project is to CASE Susan Wong.
I love Susan’s color combination against white, so I used Polished Pink and Mango Melody for my card design.
First, I decided on a Polished Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and layered it with Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″.
Second, I used the large, floral, Artistic Die to cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock.
Artistically Inked
Third, using my Stamparatus for positioning, I stamped the larger flower, from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, in Mango Melody Ink, and the smaller flower in Polished Pink. Prior to stamping, I placed the white cardstock on the Stamparatus platform, laying the die-cut on top, so I could determine where the color should be. Then I attached the stamps to the lid, inking one flower at a time.
Fourth, I stamped “Happy Birthday”, from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink. By using the Stamparatus, I was able to stamp the sentiment several times to get it nice and dark.
If you are unfamiliar with the Stamparatus, you can check it out by clicking on its picture in my Product List below.
Fifth, before gluing the die-cut on top of the stamped flowers, I splattered the flowers with dots by flicking the brush end of a Basic Black Stampin’ Blend against the lid.
Finally, I added three sequins, and my CASE was complete. Now, it’s your turn to join the fun and CASE Susan.

This is my second Christmas card, using my favorite, Regal Reindeer Bundle. This design was mostly stamped in Memento Black Ink, and colored with Stampin’ Blends. Wanting to keep the colors neutral for the reindeer and child, I used Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, and Petal Pink, with just a touch of Real Red.
A Gift
After stamping the trees in Garden Green Ink, and the bunny in Memento Black Ink, I used Reindeer Dies to cut the trees, the bunny, the reindeer, and the child. Prior to attaching them with Dimensionals, I stamped the lines in the snow with Memento Black Ink.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. I glued this snowy layer to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I used two Deckled Rectangles Dies for cutting; the smaller one first, then the larger to make the label shorter.
This sweet scene just melts my heart!
