Here's some more beautiful papers from Stampin' Up! Did you know you don't always have to layer with card stock?
On this card, I used some of the flip side of this paper to layer on the sides of the main piece. Look close. Can you see where I also used the papers as a background for the sentiment? I also decorated the flap with the same papers.
Just another way to use up my papers.

Today's card highlights the beautiful colors in our designer series papers. When you purchase our papers, the coordinating colors are listed on the backside.
Because it's easier to write on white, I layered this card using the coordinating color chart. My sentiment is stamped and popped up to emphasize God's art work.
I hope this inspires you to work with your papers to create beautiful cards.

Today's share are two cards I had up for sale. Since they haven't sold, I took them down and colored them using a Stampin' Write Marker. I also added the small birds so this is not for small children.
When using your write markers or blends on wood, be careful not to "tear" the tip as this will cause them to dry out faster.
If you have any questions on using any Stampin' Up! Product, please reach out to me!

Today's card is another one I created a while ago. I just needed to add a sentiment. I love this fruit salad paper and although it's no longer available, I need to use it up!
I layered three pieces of the designer paper on the front. When I do this, I put the first piece on top, the third piece goes on the bottom. Then I place the second piece, centering between the other two pieces. I also placed some fruit on the inside which I fussy cut (cut with scissors). Adding a piece of the fruit paper to the flap on the envelope really pops.
Hopefully, my cards will inspire you to get your crafting juices going.
Happy Crafting, friend

Today's card I revamped from a card swap. I removed their front and made a tag for the front. I then added a twine bow on top. For the inside, I added a "cheers" sentiment from my stash of sentiments.
Have you ever swapped cards with another crafter? I love swapping cards for other ideas. If I'm not sure that I will use it, I set it aside. Then it may travel to my revamp pile. If you'd like to swap handmade cards, let me know, I'd love to swap with you!
I love this masculine birthday card!

Today's card is made from the Feb 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit.
I cut one card base in half and used as a layer on my own cardstock. All the embellishments were included in the kit.
Happy Birthday, Mom. We miss you!!

Today's share is a card I made awhile back but hadn't put any words on it. On the inside I placed an apple that I fussy cut from the Fruit Salad papers. I lined the flap of the envelope with one of the three papers used on the front of the card. This is one card that will be added to my online store, Desirees-Craftroom.square.site/s/shop Then scroll down the left side menu and click on Greeting Cards!
If you have scraps laying around, share what you made with those scraps!

Today's share is a card I turned inside out from one of our Paper Pumpkin kits. I popped my sentiment on one side so when opened the verse inside can be seen. I used a gold foil card that I cut in half to put inside. For this card, I'm also including a gold foil envelop.
Some of you may recognize the stamp set -- from Here's to Spring (Feb Paper Pumpkin). This will be added to my store soon.

My retreat was so much fun. I visited with friends from around the state and checked out what everyone was scrapbooking!
