For the last day in May, I’m sharing a card using the Deckled Rectangles Dies to make a frame.
Before reading my description, please note that this is the LAST day to get in on Stampin’ Up’s “In Color” joining deal. I’d love to have you join my team, and you’ll get $65.50 in bonus product FREE! See details below.
Pretty Birds in a frame
The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The largest frame was cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die and the third largest, from Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper.
The smaller frame was cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and the sixth largest, from Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper. After cutting, I glued them evenly on the backside, and attached Foam Adhesive Strips to raise the frame.
Next, I stamped the birds, from the Pretty Birds Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I matched the stamp for “two-step” stamping, and stamped them in Parakeet Party Ink. They were easily cut with their Birdhouse Die, and placed on double Dimensionals, so they would be equal height to the frame.
The background for the birds was made with the “center” from largest frame. Before gluing it to the middle of the card base, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Black Ink. I found “from all of us” in the Party Puffins Stamp Set. I guess this is something birds like to say!
Finally, I peeled the backing from the Foam Adhesive Strips, attached the frame, and then the birds. I also HAD to add three Classic Matte Dots.

The new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog has gorgeous flowers, and, yes, some are pink, like the one on our cover! Today’s card is featuring my favorite suite, Awash In Beauty.
I love the watercolored look of the images in the suite, and this flower, leaves and stem, were cut from the Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, using Organic Beauty Dies. How easy is that!
Framed Pink Rose
I decided to frame my flower with fabulous, Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, using the largest and fourth largest Stitched Rectangles Die. To make it sturdy, I used the largest and third largest Stitched Rectangles Dies for backing, cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock.
Next, I added a trellis, cut with an Organic Beauty Die, from Vellum Cardstock. Once the trellis was glued to the frame, I attached the frame to the Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, with Foam Adhesive Strips.
The sentiment, “you are a true friend,” is from the True Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used a Harvest Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
Three of the beautiful Iridescent Pearls were added, which are also part of the suite, along with a sprig cut from Vellum.

Today’s card is a combination of Sun Prints Designer Paper, Deckled Dies, Charming Sentiments, Fern embossing, and Iridescent Rhinestones.
The card base is Starry Sky, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Then, I used the second largest Deckled Die to cut the 3/4″ X 4 3/4″ strip of Sun Prints DSP, narrowing it with a second cut. These were glued flat to the card base.
Sun Prints “faith over fear”
Next, I used the 2 1/2″ X 4″ Deckled Die to cut a beautifully patterned section of Sun Prints DSP. After adding a layer of cardstock for thickness, I attached it with Dimensionals.
The 1 3/4″ X 3 1/8″ Deckled Die was used to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock. Prior to attaching it with Dimensionals (on the left side), I embossed it with the Fern Embossing Folder.
“Faith over fear” is one of the many wonderful, Charming Sentiments. I stamped it in Night Of Navy Ink, cut with its Sentiment Silhouettes Die, and attached it with Dimensionals.
For some sparkle, I added three Iridescent Rhinestones. They look so pretty with the shades of blue, don’t you think?

Hearts are perfect for Mother’s Day cards, and I found one from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, page 11. It’s the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, which comes with dies.
I began by using the large, heart die to cut from the new, Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper, and layered it for thickness.
Mother’s Day Heart
Next, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 4” X 5 1/4”, and embossed it with the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. I was careful to center the heart, when placing the cardstock in the folder. Then, I glued this layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2” X 5 1/2”, folded at 4 1/4”.
“Happy Mother’s Day” is from the Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set, p.37, stamped in Stazon Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock. I used a new, Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The small flower and leaves, tucked behind the sentiment label, were created with Bouquet Of Love Dies and Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper.
After adding three tiny pearls, my Mother’s Day card was complete.

The Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper is gorgeous, and coordinates beautifully with the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set and Blossoming Happiness Dies; all available May 3rd. They can be purchased separately, or together in a bundle, or suite.
Roses and Best Wishes
I began today’s card with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Prior to gluing, I used a Blossoming Happiness Die to make the horizontal “cut-out.” I also cut a small strip of Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper to place behind the “cut-out”, letting the colors show through the holes. Don’t you love it? Then, I cut a piece of the same Hues Of Happiness DSP, 5 1/4″ X 2″, and glued it to the top of the layer.
Next, I cut three roses and four leaves from the Hues Of Happiness DSP, and attached them with Dimensionals. The dies are shown in the first photo.
“Best wishes” is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Floral Gallery Die. I’m happy to say that this die set will be carrying over to the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, along with the coordinating stamp set, Art Gallery.
After attaching the sentiment with Mini Dimensionals, and adding three Pastel Pearls, my card was complete.

I’m excited to give you a sneak peek of one of the suites from the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, Happiness Abounds. This wonderful set will be available for customer orders on May 3rd.
Happiness Abounds Sneak Peek
I love when Stampin’ Up makes dies that cut the images from the coordinating designer paper. The Blossoming Happiness die set has several flower and leaf dies that cut the Hues Of Happiness DSP perfectly.
“Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine” is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. You’re going to want this die set, because it has 15 stitched, dies that layer: circles, squares, and banners.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, colored with a new In-Color, Tahitian Tide, using a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask to make the dots. This is a Last Chance product, on sale for $4.80, which can be ordered now by clicking on its picture in my Product List below.
Next, I used a Blossoming Happiness Die to give “notebook” detailing to the edge. It was used on the cover of the catalog, and everyone will want this die! Isn’t it fabulous?
The card base is Tahitian Tide Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I love this color!
The Glossy Dots are included in the Hues of Happiness Suite, and I placed three on the circle with the sentiment. The suite is on pages 108-109 in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
