Here are the other 3 of those six showing off even more adorable images from the designer papers, stamps and dies. This time I left out the ribbon but added in a few more tools: the Double Oval Punch, the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker (for the ellipses and the balloon strings), the Lemon Lolly Ink Pad, and the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for each card
Base Cardstock (Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, or Pool Party)
3″ x 9″ scored parallel to short side at 3″ and 6″
Zoo Crew Designer Paper
Image that is die-cut or cut with a scissors (one or two)
Basic White Cardstock
2-3/4” x 2-3/4” (one or two)
2″ x 2-3/4″ (for the alligator card)
Other Cardstock (Lemon Lolly, Basic Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, and/or Pool Party)
Scraps for die-cutting accent images
Directions
Die-cut the animal image/s and coordinating shapes.
If making the raccoon card, either place the balloons on top of the last white layer. Or cut balloons into the white layer and add the pink and blue ones into those spaces.
If making the alligator card, cut the Lemon Lime Twist “grass” (and the Basic Black behind it) to about 4-1/4″ long. Then cut it into a 3″ wide section and a 1-1/2″ wide section,
If making the skunk card, fussy-cut the group of trees and stamp and punch the sentiments (cut the second one in half).
Position images and cardstock layers onto opened card base. Stamp any other sentiments/images. (I stamped Lemon Lolly confetti on the raccoon card.)
Adhere the animals with Dimensionals and everything else using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Add the ellipses or the balloon strings with the Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Or embellish with pearls.
And remember…these are small cards that fit into our 3×3 envelopes.

I’ve been a little busier than normal as I’ve been preparing for my Layering Leaves Class To Go. But I just have to share some creative inspiration with all of you. So today I thought I’d show you a card that was made by my friend and fellow demonstrator, Luanne Peterson.
Gorgeous, right!?
She made it with the Cheerful Daisies Bundle debuting 5/2/23. AND she actually made nine of these cards because she donated them for the prizes for our recent Stampers With ART team event. Just think of all the time put into that.
Aren’t these layering dies amazing? All three flower layers started out white. But on the bottom two layers she added the pink and yellow inks. Under all that are the green foliage die-cuts from these dies and from the Timeless Arrangements dies. Then all of this is atop a Cane Weave embossed Smoky Slate layer with a Bubble Bath Countryside Corners frame cut out in between.
Luanne also featured two new colors (Bubble Bath & Lemon Lolly) and two returning colors (Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst). Can you spot them?
By the way, this is a “sharing post” only. These ideas are to inspire creativity not to instruct. So I don’t have a full supply list, measurements, or directions. And I don’t want to pressure my friends who send me cards to provide that. But I hope that some of the things I pointed out will help you if you want to recreate this card or something similar. Thanks for understanding. And thanks for stopping by.

Last summer my friend and fellow demonstrator, Linda Lancaster and her husband Butch hosted my family on one of the nights of our big road trip that we took out East in June. I was so excited to finally meet her in person and see their beautiful area where they lived in the mountains. We were spoiled by their gifts, great food, and warm hospitality…such a great time!
Included in the gifts was a card that Linda gave me with a big flower on the front.
It’s a very pretty card and I’m excited to say was the inspiration for the card I’m sharing with all of you today.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to fold paper circles and assemble this large Paper Dahlia. I use some of the new 2023-24 Stampin’ Up!® product that will debut on May 2nd: the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper, the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, and a few brand new AND returning colors.And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

Today I’m sharing the second card I assembled after receiving my Million Dollar Achiever stamp set, Layering Leaves.
I was inspired by this pretty card I received from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Amy Rudd. (She used the now-retired Splendid Day Suite to make her card.)
As you can see Layering Leaves is an all-occasion stamp set that coordinates with the Bough Punch.
This set is not available for purchase yet (not even for demo preorder). Stampin’ Up!® sent me my complimentary copy in March. But it will be available when the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog debuts May 2nd.
The first card I shared (and some details about how this set came to be) can be found in my April 3rd blog post. And I have more cards and projects that I’m creating! In fact six of them are for a class that I’ll be offering. And I’ll post information about that class tomorrow with peeks at those cards/projects. The class registration will begin at that time and include different sign up options! 😃
This card I’m sharing today also highlights the stamp/punch coordination. (So you’ll want to have both!) Here is the card closed.
And this is the card open.
(Amy’s is a z-fold card, too. But the inside just includes a note to me. So I didn’t photograph that.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4”
Two die-cut circles: ~1-3/4″ diameter and ~2-1/2″ diameter
Scraps for stamping and punching 3 sets of Parakeet Party leaves
Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper
5-1/4″ x 8″ – cut in half for two side-by-side 5-1/4″ x 4″ pieces
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
One die-cut circle: ~3″ diameter
Scraps for stamping and punching 2 tiny sprigs
Scraps for stamping and cutting 2 large leaves
2022-24 In Color Glimmer Paper
Four tiny sprigs
Vellum Cardstock
Two punched sets of leaves
2022-24 In Color Baker’s Twine
12″
White Glittered Organdy Ribbon
7″
Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
7″
Directions
Stamp & Punch all leaves and sprigs. Stamp and die-cut all circles. Prep all the rest of the pieces above. And stamp the ‘best wishes’ sentiment on the second designer paper layer.
For the circle layer…
Add the middle white circle to the blue so it’s off-center. Layer on the leaves and springs gluing sparingly and using the smallest white sentiment circle as a guide as you go. It may even help to just use regular tape to hold things in place.
For the top half I started with the Vellum leaves, then added the large blue leaf, then the stamped green leaves, then the glimmer paper sprigs, then the blue sprig.
For the bottom half I started with the green stamped leaves. Then I tucked in the blue leaves and the glimmer paper leaves.
Fold add the ribbons. Again…adding regular tape may help.
Add the small white sentiment circle with the help of Dimensionals.
Tie a bow in the twine. And add that with a Glue Dot.
Assemble in this order: the circle and leaves layers first, then add that to the first designer paper layer, then add the designer paper layers to the folded card base. The designer paper is thinner than the cardstock. So adding the assembled circles/leaves layer first will stiffen the top layer up a bit and make the over all experience much easier.
I absolutely LOVE the basic sentiments in this set! They make your cards that much more versatile. This card can now be given for any celebration or milestone…graduation, birthday, retirement, wedding, engagement, moving, etc.
Thanks for visiting!
Be sure to stop back tomorrow to get the details on my class that will include the option to add in an autographed copy of my Layering Leaves stamp set.

I received my April 2023 All the Little Things Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit on Monday late afternoon. So I decided to share my first set of alternate project ideas in this week’s Live recording like I did last month (and the month before).
This is what comes in the kit. If you were to make the cards based on the directions, you would get 9 cards total (3 of 3 designs).
But I changed up the supplies to get double the amount of cards! Yay! AND each card is a bit special…stepped up a bit. In my videos below (Parts 1 and 2) I share all 6 of these cards – four in the first video and 2 in the second. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own and inspire your creativity!

Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my cards. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on May 5th.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my two videos. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

I love the Sweet Citrus Bundle! Every card I see out there is so eye-catching! So I thought I’d share this bundle with you today along with a fun background layer that my friend Vy Tran calls a “faux quilt.” She shared this fun pieced together background during one of our latest demonstrator events. It works great with scenery-like designer paper and with multiple fabric-like designer paper sections as the “star of the show” on a card. But it’s also fun when this background is more subtle just to give a layer a little more pizzazz.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Sweet Citrus stamp set, dies, and embossing folder, daubers, the Bough Punch, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®.
