This card features the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper. It's wonderful for any nature or scenic cards and so easy to use! I used images from Grassy Grove Stamp Set - the deer and the trees and stamped them in Memento Black Ink. The banner is from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The second card was made using the Legendary Ride Bundle and Ready to Ride Specialty DSP. I love the sentiments in this set. I've added touches of Distressed Gold DSP on the front with the gold strip and gold die cut overlay on the motorcycle.  The motorcycle is die cut from the Ready to Ride DSP.

And the third card is a fun fold card created with On the Farm Bundle and Day at the Farm DSP.  The dsp is one of the free Salabration products with a $50.00 order (before tax and shipping). Some of the animals in the designer series paper can be die cut out with the On the Farm Dies. 

Here's the front of the card. Notice the left corner flap to tuck the small latch into. The cow and pig are also die cuts from the bundle.

And here's what the card looks like open:

This is birthday card class #3 in my series for the new year! We all need birthday cards, and it's always nice to have a stash on hand! Tonight I featured cards and a gift bag made with the free Salabration Paper - Favored Flowers.  I also used the coordinating Fragrant Flowers Bundle from the Mini Catalog. Together you can make some gorgeous floral cards and projects!

This first card showcases two different patterns of the DSP and the large floral die cut. (Yes, a couple of the sheets have floral images that can be cut out with coordinating dies). 

And here is a Birthday version of that card. The sentiment is from the Celebrate With Tags set:

I love the Fresh Freesia with the Black Background and touches of Evening Evergreen.

The second card is a Slide and Lock Card:

And here is the birthday card version:

The Slide and Lock Mechanism is hidden between two layers of one of the Scalloped Contours Dies which enables it to be slid up and down or off the card.

To create the mechanism:

Die cut two tags with the middle Scalloped Contours Die:

From Basic White Cardstock cut out two pieces 3 5/8" x 2 1/4". Score each one on the short side at 1 1/8" down the middle and fold in half:

Adhere one of them to one side of one of the die cuts with the opening facing to the outside:

Add the other 3 5/8" x 2 1/4" folded piece of Basic White Cardstock to the other side with the opening facing outward:

Next glue the remaining die cut to the top of the layers.

This is what it looks like looking down on it. Notice the open "wings" on each side.  This is how you slide it.

Gift Bag and Card:

This gift bag has a matching card that hangs on the bag. The card is made with designer series paper left over from creating the gift bag!

Here is the Birthday Bag and Card:

The first card has a woodland look added by embossing the background layer with the Timber Embossing Folder and the tree ring cut with the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder:

I used DSP from the Rainy or Shine Specialty DSP for the second card.  It's so bright and colorful!

The banners are from the Sylish Shapes Dies and the card is topped off with a piece of Polished Pink Open-Weave Ribbon.

The third card is a 3 panel card z-fold and again I used dsp from the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Serires Pack.  I love this paper with the field of flowers on it! And the three little owls give a "hoot! hoot!"

And here's the card open:

I used the vellum so you can see the designer series paper better.  *(Note: I used Basic White Card Stock on the FB live card  because the vellum didnt' hold up well with constant opening and closing.)  The candles and balloon are from the Celebrate With Tags Dies set.

The back of the card is simply decorated and has lots of room to write a note:

My customer thank you cards this month are made with products from the gorgeous Regency Park Suite. This suite has two stamp and die Bundles and I'm using the Sentimental Park Bundle (stamps and dies) and the Petal Park Builder Punch from the Petal Park Bundle.

I also used frames from the Framed Florets Dies to make the Night of Navy Frame. The Navy frame creates a balance between the yellow in the card front layer and the yellow polka dots in the oval  behind the sentiment. 

I love the Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon in this collection and it adds such a nice touch to the card. 

The Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots add some lovely sparkle to the card front and the centers of the flowers.

The small flowers around the sentiment are punched from the DSP with  Petal Park Builder Punch. Several sheets of the DSP are made to easily punch flowers from!

And here's a pic of the gorgeous Regency Park DSP with the beautiful foliage and flowers!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the details about making this card! Make sure you click a link below to continue on the blog hop.  You'll enjoy a fabulous paper crafting trip around the globe!

The beginning of a new year is just the time to get your birthday card stash ready! In the next few weeks I will be teaching a series of birthday card classes using new stamp sets from the Mini and Salabration catalogs.  This week's class features the Share a Milkshake Bundle. This is so retro and reminds me of the soda fountain store in the small hometown I grew up in.  I think you will love making these cards! You can get the free kits for these cards (2 each of 3 different designs) from me by placing an order in my online store of just $35.00 before tax and shipping.  If your order is $50.00 or more I will send you a pack of the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins for free! You do need to use this host code at checkout when you order: RDQWHGA7 or shop using this link with the embedded host code: Shop With Embedded Host Code Thank you to everyone who ordered last week!

For all of these cards I've used the beautiful SAB Dandy Designs designer series paper with it's soft pastel colors.  It's one of the products you can purchase for free with a $100.00 purchase right now during Salabration. 

I love that there is a die cut in the large scoop to insert the straw in!  The sentiment is accented with the die cut cherries. and the font in the stamp set is very retro.

The next card features the sundaes with fudge toppings and a cherry on top - yum!

And the third card has the adorable ice cream cones! The die that cuts the waffle cones and adds the criss cross embossing on them.
