I’m having fun with the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper. Today I’m sharing the birthday cards I made for my Stampers With ART team members that have July birthdays.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
7” x 5” scored at 3-1/2″ and folded in half (OR…just use a pre-cut and scored Whisper White Note Card)
Scraps for stamping and punching the Classic Label sentiment pieces
Bermuda Bay Cardstock
2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper
Scrap for punching out the 2″ Circle
Noble Peacock Foil
Scrap for die-cutting the “Happy”
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Stamp “Wishes” onto Coastal Cabana scrap with Bermuda Bay ink.
Stamp the Cajun Craze sentiments on the scrap white cardstock and punch with Classic Label Punch. “Sending You” should be left justified. “Birthday” should be right justified.
Attach the punched out “Birthday” next to “wishes”.
Punch out the Coastal Cabana Starburst Circle to include both the “Birthday” & “wishes”.
Punch out the 2″ designer paper piece and the Cajun Craze Starburst Circle.
Die-cut the word “Happy.”
Attach “sending you” to the top right of the 2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock. Trim off excess.
Attach Cajun Craze starburst shape to the bottom left. Trim off excess.
Attach Noble Peacock circle to the Cajun Craze starburst. Trim off excess.
Add rhinestone or sequin to the center.
Add “Happy” die-cut by sponging on the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back side. If you have the Silicone Craft Sheet underneath, it protects your work surface. AND you can later remove the dried glue with packing tape! 😊
Add this Coastal Cabana layer to the Bermuda Bay layer, then add this to the front of your card using Dimensionals.
You’ll notice that one has a sequin in the center of the circle. And the other has a rhinestone. I intended on having rhinestones on all of my team cards, but I ran out when making the tri-panel cards I shared yesterday. Hahaha! Obviously this is one of my favorite new products. I ended up ordering more after making these cards.
My sister and I and having a fabulous time in Europe! I’m trying to compile a few pictures to share with you soon.

One of THE most gorgeous suites in this year’s annual catalog is the Noble Peacock Suite. You’ll find it on pages 24-26 of the 2019-20 Annual Catalog or by clicking HERE to see it in the Online Store. Below is a quick video put out by Stampin’ Up!® featuring the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper which is what I used on my tri-panel card that I’m sharing with you today.
I actually made a couple versions of this card. One of them includes sentiments from the coordinating stamp set, Royal Peacock. And the other has sentiments from the Well Said Stamp Set because I wanted to turn it into a birthday card.
This tri-panel card shows off the beautiful foiled designer paper and is such a visually appealing layout.
It’s easy to apply this design in other cards that you make. You can vary the size of the panels, too. Click here and here to see a couple other tri-panel cards I’ve shared in recent posts. The above card was stamped with a sentiment from the Royal Peacock set in Gorgeous Grape ink. The one below was stamped with a sentiment from the Well Said set in Melon Mambo ink.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements per card…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half for the card base
Old Olive Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Noble Peacock Designer Paper
1-1/4″ x 2″ of each of the three patterns
Directions/Tips…
I made several of these cards – one for each of the members of my Online Paper Crafters Clubs and ten more for some achieving demonstrators in my Stampers With ART group. My assistant, Vicki Spicer helped me to work on these cards. So I gave her this template which we both thought worked quite well. The template (that I cut from scrap cardstock) measures 4″ x 5-1/4″ with an opening that measures 2-1/8″ x 4-1/2″ cut from the center about 3/4″ from the top and 3/8″ in from each side.
Vicki placed it on the front of the card, attached the two side panels. And then centered and added the middle one. (She actually found it easier to remove the template before attaching the middle one.)
I ran out of the multicolored Noble Peacock Rhinestones before finishing. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends markers and colored some of my Basics Rhinestones.
By the way the designer paper is attached to the coordinating cardstock with Dimensionals to create depth and shadow.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today.

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the June 2019 A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended project from this month’s “Random Act of Kindness-themed” kit – 16 sweet little cards (4 each of 4 beach-themed designs) to carry around (in the included pouch) so you can have them on hand to give anytime you want to spread a little sunshine.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on June 21st: 3 full-size cards, a mini monster card, a sweet 3×3 card, a treat pouch/purse, and a 12×12 scrapbook page. CLICK HERE to check them out for more ideas.
Today I have some fun beach-themed party favors to share with you.
If you use your kit to make these great party favors, you can get 16 tall triangle Hershey’s Kiss holders and 16 simple envelope treat holders from one kit. (Embellishments will vary as there are a limited amount of trees.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
TALL TRIANGLE HERSHEY’S KISS HOLDERS
These were featured on Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Pumpkin newsletter (in case they look familiar to you). But these directions are a little more detailed as I was able to add more step-by-step photos here in my blog post.
Directions…
Score an unfolded kit card base at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″ parallel to the long edge.
Rotate and score 1″ up from the bottom. Then trim off a bit along the bottom (1/16″-1/8″).
Mark the middle of each bottom section along the bottom edge at 1″, 2″ and 3″.
Trim from those marks as shown to form 3 triangles along the bottom. These will overlap to form the base of the box.
Add Tear & Tape Adhesive close to the score mark on the 1/2″ wide section. If you wish to stamp on the box, do so now.
Then fold up the box to make a triangular prism. It may help to have the Hershey’s Kisses inside the box when assembling.
Fold one flap in on the bottom. Then fold the other flaps in securing them each with Glue Dots.
Decorate the front how you wish.
And as long as your measurements are straight, your box should stand on its own. 😃
SIMPLE ENVELOPE TREAT HOLDER
Directions…
Decorate the envelope how you wish.
Then fill the envelope with Ghirardelli chocolates or other flat, small treat.
That’s it! Super simple.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

Tuesday with the help of my mom and husband, we got 100 of these new 2019-20 Annual Catalogs out the door for USPS to pick up yesterday. And then my mom helped me to get another 91 out the door for USPS to pick up today. PHEW! Normally I have Stampin’ Up! send them directly to my customers. But this time I wanted to do it myself so I could get them to my stampers right away, enclose a small gift, and ensure delivery. (Do you love how my husband’s shoes stick out on the lower left of the second photo? It the right angle, it looked like he got buried! hahaha)
If you live local to me, near Andover, Minnesota, let me know if you want me to set aside a catalog for you to pick up. (A big thank you to many of my local customers who are picking up their catalogs from my house in the coming days.) If you live further away, I’d be happy to mail you a free catalog. I just ask that you cover the shipping costs if you are not currently one of my customers. Click here, then scroll down to learn more.
I never shared with you the gifts I gave to my team members who attended Stampin’ Up!’s April 2019 OnStage event!
Once again I went to Tamara Davis from TaDa! Moments to see what wonderful new products she had. And I fell in love with her Take Your Pick Tool holders. Personally I struggled with keeping my tool parts in a place where I could always find them, so this was perfect! She finished my personalized gifts quickly and sent them to me so I had plenty of time to add belly bands and gift tags to each one.
I love how they came in and were made for Stampin’ Up!’s Acetate Card Boxes, too.
For the belly band of this one I layered these pieces together: a strip of 1″ x 12″ How Sweet It Is Designer Paper, a strip of 1-1/4″ x 12″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock, and a strip of 1-1/2″ x 12″ Coastal Cabana. (Some of my gifts also used Melon Mambo Cardstock.) Then as I wrapped this layered strip around the layers gave way a bit and shifted, so I ended up with a definite seam.
I then tied a 3″ piece of Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon in a knot around a pin from the Sweet Pins & Tags kit and attached it to the seam with a Glue Dot with the pin opening forward so I could add the tag.
I stamped, punched & die-cut, and layered my tag pieces.
I even printed out a note that I folded up and sandwiched inside.
And how fun they were to give out!
Just recently I decided to recycle the box and switch out the tag to create a NEW gift. I filled the box with chocolates. Yum!
Then I realized I wanted to decorate the box a bit more. So I took the chocolates out, lined the box with a 10-1/4″ x 5-3/4″ piece of designer paper (scored at 1/2″, 4-15/16″, 5-7/16″ and 9-7/8″), and put the chocolates back in.
I slipped the belly band back on and pinned on a new simple tag.
For those of you keeping my father-in-law in your prayers, there is no further news yet. But our family will still appreciate any prayers you can send his way.

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
This week I am part of a Facebook Live Hop called Live & Inkin’. We are featuring retiring products…giving them some “last minute” love before they are gone for good.
My Live was yesterday. I showed how to make this fun masculine celebratory jean pockets card using the Pocket Full of Sunshine Stamp Set, Night of Navy Cardstock, Cajun Craze Cardstock and Ink, sandpaper, some Metallic Brads, and sponged on Whisper White Craft Ink.
Isn’t it fun!? I love how the pockets are on the INSIDE of the card so that both the left and the right “cheek” of the pants can be viewed at once. This would be an awesome card for a graduation or a birthday. Most of the cards I’ve seen made with this stamp set are either cutesy or feminine. So I wanted to share how versatile this set really is. PLUS if you get this retiring stamp AND the coordinating dies, there is a new “pocket” stamp set that will be available on June 4th in the new catalog that will also work with the dies. And then holy moly!…Just think of all the fun cards and projects you’ll be able to make.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
8” x 5-1/4” scored at 4” and folded in half
3-1/4” x 4-3/4”

Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scraps for stamping and cutting sentiment pieces

I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today! Remember this stamp set (and the Brushstroke Alphabet set) is guaranteed through May 24th and then only available through June 3, 2019 or while supplies last. The dies are carrying over to coordinate with a new pocket set. The stamp sets are different so you will want to have them both!

Each month I send out a card that I designed with the recent Paper Pumpkin kit to a few of my subscribers. And today I am excited to share that special card with you. This simple, elegant, almost black-and-white card is designed with elements of the April 2019 Sentimental Rose kit and a few extra tools and supplies.
Measurements of kit supplies…
Script print card base
2-1/2″ x 7″
Envelope or another card base
Scrap of white for stamping and cutting out leaves image
Measurements of extra supplies…
Basic Gray Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half
Mint Macaron Cardstock
Scrap for punching out leaves
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
about 17″
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here’s a photo of the cards the kit is intended to make.
I loved the card base with the script design from this kit, so I cut it in half to get two pieces that measured 2-1/2″ x 7″ with a score line down the middle separating the script design from the white unprinted half. (I only needed one 2-1/2″ x 7″ piece for each card. So from 3 script card bases I was able to make 6 of these cards.)
After doing a test of my gray inks – Gray Granite (the ink color that came in the kit), Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray, I decided that Basic Gray matched the script print the best. (Gray Granite had a tan hue and Smoky Slate was too light.)
Here are directions if you wish to recreate this card with your kit contents (or revise it to work with other supplies you may have).
Directions…
Position the 2-1/2″ x 7″ piece with the script pattern to the right. Stamp the rose image from the kit’s stamp set using Basic Gray ink in the bottom right corner of this piece. And add a large Rhinestone to the center of the flower.
Then trim 2-3/4″ off the left end (white end) of this piece, and adhere the remaining 4-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ piece across the front of your Basic Gray card base about 1″ from the top and 2″ from the bottom.
Stamp sentiment using Basic Gray ink on the mint/white label piece. Stamp leaves using Mint Macaron ink on scrap of white from kit. (You could use Whisper White Cardstock, but I find that that white is a slightly warmer tone than the white found in the consumables of the Paper Pumpkin kits.) Then cut them out leaving a slight white edge all the way around.
Add Dimensionals behind sentiment piece, attach two sets of leaves so they come out the lower left corner, and add to the card as shown.
Wrap the ribbon from the inside to the front and secure in a knot. Trim the ends.
Then add the leftover 2-3/4″ x 2-1/2″ white piece to the inside.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

Shelli worked closely with designers and concept artists to create a Paper Pumpkin kit that is uniquely hers. It includes an exclusive photopolymer stamp set, paper, and crafting materials to create 12 mailable cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs), 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes, and a Classic Stampin’ Spot. Coordinating colors: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock (a new 2019-21 In Color), Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. Click here to see the video for even more information on this kit. Then click here to sign up by May 10th for this next kit.
We also learned recently that this kit will include some beautiful Pretty Peacock colored velvet ribbon!

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
