This is one of my very favorite bundles in the catalog - Sweet Songbird.  I just love the bird images and the coordinating punch.  Those sentiments are so cute too! It just reminds me of spring time and all of the gorgeous new life and of course, the song of the meadow birds on a sunny day!

I've made a cute coordinating birthday card and box.  I know you can't see the depth of the box in this pic, but there's more to come:

The box is pretty big - 

I used one of the Hues of Happiness DSP sheets for the front of the card and the box cover. The tiny flowers in the DSP look like the flowers punched with the Flowers & Punch and I thought it would look nice to use them on this set (the tag and the card).

Here's a look at the card:

The banner is embossed with the Hive 3D embossing folder.

Did you notice the yellow ribbon?  It's our White Crinkle Ribbon and I colored it with a Daffodil Delight Stamp' Blend marker.  It's really cool - it colors both sides and dries within must a minute or two.

Here are the measurements for this card:

11 x 4 1/4" Daffodil Delight Card base scored at 5 1/5"

5 1/2 x 4" Hues of Happiness DSP for layer

2 1/2 x 5" Daffodil Delight for the embossed banner

1/2 x 4 1/4" Basic White strip for front.

Scraps of Basic White for the sentiment and punched circle.  Scraps of Hues of Happiness DSP for the punched flowers.

I used the Cup of Tea Bundle to make these thank you cards that hold a tea bag:

Can you picture sitting down with a warm cup of tea and enjoying a quiet moment? I know how much I enjoy that and want to share it with a friend or customer! 

Here's what you need to make this card:

Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Card Stock scored at 4 1/4"

5 1/4 x 4" Tea Boutique designer series paper for layer

4 1/4 x 6" card stock scored at 3" on the long side. On the right side cut from the top of the middle score mark on a diagonal down to the right corner.  Fold to make a pocket.

2 7/8 x 4 1/8" Tea Boutique designer series paper. Cut this on the diagonal to layer on the front and inside of the card pocket.

Glue the pocket closed on the bottom inside of the pocket.

This is so much fun to make!

Sending Smiles Stamp Set is one of my absolute favorites from the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. And the dies are a Wow, especially with that "sending" die cut sentiment. I used one layout to make these three cards. I also used Design a Daydream designer series paper for each of these cards.  This beautiful dsp is available as a host item for having a $150.00 party (online or in-person) and it's a stack of 48 pages of gorgeous paper!

Here are the three cards I made last night:

I do like the way they turned out, but I can't decide which one is my favorite.

This layout has enough layers that several different colors can be featured. The card above features So Saffron, Blackberry Bliss, and Petal Pink.

I love the soft colors in the Pool Party card above. The card front is embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Featured colors are White, Pool Party, and So Saffron.

Below is the card I made in my FB live:

Petal Pink, Old Olive, and Blushing Bride are the colors on this card. Which one do you like best?

Watch the YouTube video here to see how to make this card:

Measurements for this card:

4 1/4 x 11" card stock scored at 5 1/2" for card base

4 x 4" card stock or dsp cut so one side is 1" shorter

2 x 5" card stock or dsp for banner

1 x 4" card stock or dsp for center front

2 1/2" circle

This card is sure to bring a smile to your face, or whomever you send it to. It's so simple, yet beautiful. These cards are showcasing the new 2022-2024 In-Colors - Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide, and Sweet Sorbet.  The flower is stamped with the same colors in each or the cards - the stem and leaves are stamped with Parakeet Party, the flower is Sweet Sorbet, and the middle is stamped with Crushed Curry.

I've also used the new 2022-2024 In Color designer series paper.  I just love it with the polka dots, flowers, stripes and plaid patterns. 

I also added the die cut word "sending" using one of the dies in the Sending Dies. There is a die to cut the background and a die to cut the word "Sending". I show you in the tutorial how to use an Adhesive Sheet when die cutting intricate dies.  It makes it so easy to adhere that detailed die cut to your card.

Isn't that pretty? And here's a pic of the inside:

Here are the measurements for this card:

8 1/2 x 11" piece of card stock scored on the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4" and on the 11" side at 5 1/2 

Watch my video tutorial to see how to cut the card stock for this card. 

Save the rectangle you cut out to use for your large layering circle and background for the die cut sentiment.

Did you know you can make a vertical Z-Fold card?  It's a neat fold and a great way to show off beautiful designer series paper. I've used products from the Sun Prints Suite for this card. Now these products aren't available quite yet, but they will be tomorrow, May 3rd, 2022! You can't go wrong with the Nature's Prints Bundle (stamp set and dies) and the gorgeous Sun Prints designer series paper! 

I made these three vertical z-fold cards today using this suite:

The colors in the Sun Prints designer series paper are Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, and Starry Sky. This paper is so beautiful!

Below is the card I made tonight on my Mystery Stamping Live. I'm loving the fern stamp included in this set.

I used the Natural Prints dies to make the floral die cuts. I then added Basic Black Baker's twine.  The ribbon is the White Frayed Ribbon which is carrying over from the Spring Mini Catalog.

And here's the inside of the card:

Here's what the z-fold with the 4 x 4" dsp on the front looks like from the side:

(Ignore the odd brown shape under the mountain fold lol.)

You can watch the YouTube video here to see how to make this card:

Measurements:

4 1/4 x 11" card base scored at 2 1/8 and 5 1/2"

White or vanilla card stock - 3 3/8 x 4" and 1 1/2 x 4"

DSP - 4 x 4; 1 x4; 1/2 x 4" and other width as desired.
