Three sweet rides are in this stamp set and it's so retro!  There's the VW Volkswagon and the van.  I'm a 70s child, so I can picture either one of these with painted flowers in psychedelic colors.  And then the convertible with the balloons - talk about free wheeling and fancy free!

With this card, I just colored the convertible and balloons with a few different Stampin' Blends colors. DSP is from the Simply Marbelous DSP, which is free with a $50.00 order during Salabration.

And here I Stamped the card image on the white card stock, and then stamped it on the DSP (this is from Sunshine and Rainbows DSP).  I cut out just the body of the card from the DSP and layered it on top of the image on the white card stock:

I also stamped the van and then layered it with DSP that I cut out from the stamped DSP:

This is a great set to have for a lot of different occasions!

I have a cute little box to show you today. It's not only cute, but holds a sweet treat - 4 Hershey Nuggets! These are darling to make and give away for Valentine's Day, which is only a few weeks away! Inspiration for this box is from stampwithMarsha.blogspot.

I've used the oh so pretty Sweet Talk designer series paper for these adorable  boxes.  That's right - they're made with DSP instead of card stock.

The hearts are punched with the Heart Punch Pack punches pictured on page 150 in the Annual Catalog.  One punch is a little larger with a scalloped edge and the other one has a straight edge and fits nicely in the scalloped heart.

Here's what the box looks like inside with the nuggets.  They are wrapped in a 1 x 3" strip of DSP. 

The measurements for this are:

6 x 6" designer series paper.  Cut off 2" from one side and then cut this piece into two 6 x 1" strips. Cut these down to 3 x 1"

It is soooo wintery at my house in the meadow!! A foot of snow and 12 degrees below zero this morning - BRRRRR!  But inside, I'm focused on Sunshine and Rainbows - designer series paper that is!  It is so ultra cheerful and bright!  I decided to use it for my mystery stamping gift card holders:

Now isn't that cheerful?  I just love this bright paper.

The sentiment is from Best Delivery stamp set. I decided to try adding the delivery truck to the front, and it turned out cute! I stamped the truck on white card stock and then on dsp. I fussy cut the back of the truck out and adhered over the white truck.  Then I stamped the balloons and popped them on the back with dimensionals.  I like how it turned out.

Here is the card I made during Msytery Stamping:

And what the inside looks like:

Here are the measurements for this card:

Card base - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4"

   Have you seen the Boughs and Blossoms stamp set on page 26 in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog?  The punch has two distinct foliages to punch.  One looks like a leafy stem and the other looks like a sprig of small flowers - Baby's Breath maybe?  From my days working in the florist's shop it looks like Baby's Breath to me.  Along with the punch the stamp set has sweet sentiments, flowers and foliage images.  This set was at the top of my wishlist and it's a beauty! 

I featured this set in mystery stamping tonight, and here are the cards I made:

This card design has a slant across the front that calls for something to highlight it, and i chose to se foliage and flowers. 

Here's the card in with Pale Papaya Flowers:

And here it is with flowers in Fresh Freesia:

Which one do you prefer?

I've paired it with the Simply Marbelous designer series paper, which is another FREE product!  This paper features gorgeous marbled swirls of over 12 different colors so you will be able to use it with lots of different card stock.  I've used the Balmy Blue and Flirty Flamingo colors for the waterfall cards.

I'm excited to share my January customer thank you cards with you during Kylie Bertucci's Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! 

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! I am so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support. The blog hop is part of Kylie and Bruno Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today from all over the world!!

This month's customer thank you card is made with the new Amazing Sillhouettes stamp set and Amazing Thanks Dies shown on page 40 of the January-June Mini Catalog. They are both beautiful and if you purchase them together as a bundle you will save 10%.

I used the Stamp-a-ratus to stamp the tree image in Soft Succulent Ink onto the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper.  I stamped it twice to get a nice dark image. All of the Heart and Home dsp has a wood look on one side and floral print on the other. It is mouth-watering dsp! You can see I used two different wood patterns.

I then used the Amazing Thanks dies to die cut the "thanks," - one for the larger background image in basic black and one in Basic White to layer onto the black card stock.  This makes the white stand out and gives it some depth. 

The other dies in this set are "you," "are," and "amazing."

I love the water color look this stamp creates.

The red box in the middle of the photo above is the one I made in my FB live:

I used the new White Frayed ribbon on this box.  I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I do. What do you think?

I featured the new Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set in Mystery Stamping in the Meadow.  I love this set with the wonderful sentiments and wildlife drawings.  Not only is it a great set for masculine cards, but also for any cards for nature lovers! I've paired it with the new Horizons DSP which is GORGEOUS!! 

The layout is CASED from Stampin' Up! demonstrator Ronda Wade.

This layout has lots of layers and texture with the embossed circle. I also used Shimmery Crystal Effects on the embossed trees to add more texture and bring out the trees.

The background for the owl and bear is made using one of the stamps in the set that looks like clouds or hills - whatever you want it for hee hee. 

The sentiments at the bottom are all different from each other.  The sentiment on the bear card is stamped on the back of the Horizon DSP:

Measurements for this card:

Card base - 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2"

DSP - 5 1/4 x 2 1/4"

White or vanilla card stock - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4"

Colored card stock - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2"

White or vanilla card stock for inside - 5 1/4 x 4"

Card stock for large embossed circle.
