My sister, Renée and I are enjoying our last day at sea. What a fantastic time we’ve had in our travels! I shared a few photos on Monday, July 8. And I plan to share more soon after we get back – hopefully Monday or Tuesday.
But today I thought I’d show you the congratulatory gift that my upline, Susan Campfield gave me. She’s always so good to me.
She gave me some sweet cupcakes (the chocolate ones were gluten free), a very generous Visa gift card that I used on my trip, and a pretty scarf with matching earrings in this beautiful box that she fancied up with the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets and Designer Paper, the Detailed Peacock Dies, the Detailed Bands Dies, and a sentiment image from the Band Together Stamp Set.
Isn’t this packaging gorgeous!? She really spoiled me. (You’ll find a list below of the products she used to make this stunning belly band.)
I’m very impressed that she found a scarf that coordinated so well with the colors in the Noble Peacock Foil.

Today is the last day to make sure your Paper Pumpkin account is active so you can get in on the upcoming July 2019 kit. (See below for a peek photo and some details of this upcoming kit.)
Today I’d like to share with you a couple more cards that I designed with the contents of last month’s June 2019 A Little Smile kit. (Be sure to check out my other alternate projects I shared on June 21st and on June 27th.) I had planned to share these a couple days ago, but I instead shared a few photos of the fun my sister and I are having in Europe so far.
The card on the right is one that I sent to a few of my Paper Pumpkin subscribers. The one on the left I designed afterwards just to see what this card would look like in another color scheme.

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.

There is a fun box that is part of our Stampin’ Anonymous Tutorials for the month of June. I’m not sharing the actual box, but the one I made to share today is similar and a simple version – a “teaser project.” 😉
Lately each of us in our Stampin’ Anonymous group have been featuring a “teaser project” of one of the tutorial projects at the start of the month in a Facebook Live broadcast. But I left for the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip yesterday (YAY!), and my teaser project obviously couldn’t wait until my next live on the 17th after I get back from Europe since it’s a 4th of July treat box.
I made these boxes for my two boys to open tomorrow since I won’t be spending Independence Day with them.
Here are the measurements & directions if you wish to make one (or a few) yourself.
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…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/4” (scored & cut according to the directions below)
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
See A Silhouette Designer Paper (red or blue wash design)
2″ x 8-3/4″
Silver Metallic-edge Ribbon
19″
Silver Glimmer Paper
Scraps for punching stars
Directions…
Score Whisper White parallel to the long side 1″ in from the left and the right. Rotate and score parallel to the short edge at 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″, 6-1/2″ and 7-1/2″.
Using the image below as a guide trim on the solid lines, and fold on the dotted.
Place Tear & Tape adhesive where shown in the image below, and fold into a box.
Adhere and wrap the designer paper around the box. Trim off any excess. I had a little less than 3-1/2″ as excess (as you can see in the photo), but that’s because I started with a 2″ x 12″ piece (not a 2″ x 8-3/4″ piece as I suggested in the measurements above).
Stamp “celebrate” on the Whisper White scrap. Mask the word with washi or masking tape before inking. Then remember to remove the tape before stamping.
Punch out the “celebrate” with the Classic Label Punch. Then stamp the full sentiment image on the inside cover of the box.
Punch some Silver Glimmer Paper stars.
Add the stars using Glue Dots to the outside and inside cover of the box.
Add the punched celebrate with Mini Dimensionals as shown below being careful to just put the Mini Dimensionals under the word (under the middle area and under the right). This way the ribbon can be removed easily.
Fill with treats, tuck in the triangular tabs, fold down the flap, and tie shut with the ribbon.
Fourth of July is a holiday we love to celebrate together with my side of the family. We usually spend it at the lake with my parents, my sister’s family and my brother’s family. If I was anywhere else, I’d be bummed to not be sharing it with all of them tomorrow. But I think vacationing in Europe is a great reason for my sister and I to miss it this year. As this post goes “live” we are just a few hours from our plane landing in Rome to start off our travels!
Be sure to get your hands on the June tutorial (and any others that you may have missed out on).

The new Praiseworthy Prose Stamp Set has some great, unique sentiments that are styled to look like dictionary definitions.
And what a great collection of happy sentiments! I used two of them for these Scalloped Note Cards that I decorated with bird images and striped strips from the Bird Ballad Designer Paper.
This is one of my favorite new packs of designer paper.
If you wish to make one (or more) of these sweet note card, here are the details.
Measurements per card…
Whisper White Cardstock
2-1/2” x 5” for the inside of the card
Old Olive Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting the branch
Bird Ballad Designer Paper
1″ x 5″ of the striped design
Scrap of the flip side of the striped paper for fussy-cutting one of the birds
Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon
14″
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…
Turn the note card inside out so the white is on the outside.
Stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner.
Add the strip of striped designer paper just above the scallops (as shown) using SNAIL.
Add the Whisper White Cardstock on the inside of the card about 1/4″ down from the middle crease.
Wrap and tie on the tulle ribbon. Trim the ends after tying the knot.
Die-cut the branch and attach that with a Glue Dot to the bottom back side of the cut out bird.
Add the bird with branch on the left side above the striped designer paper using Mini Dimensionals.
Adjust the ribbon so the knot lies just below the feet of the bird.
These Scalloped Note Cards (and coordinating envelopes) come in a pack of 20 and include 5 each of 4 colors: Balmy Blue, Old Olive, Light Pink, and Terracotta Tile. And though the colors in the Bird Ballad Designer Paper are a bit different (Pool Party, Old Olive, Petal Pink, and Calypso Coral), they still work very well together. I actually made several more of these cards using all four colors of the Scalloped Note Cards. But I put them in the mail before I took my photos above. So you’ll just have to trust me that this design will work with the entire set of note cards.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today.

I wanted more sparkle (besides the subtle shimmer that comes through in the inked up Shimmery White Cardstock), but the ribbon brought in more black that seemed to darken the card a bit more.
So on this second version, I colored a couple Rhinestones with Blends Markers and added those near the sentiment. I also cut my dragonfly stamp image in half to get two separate dragonflies and stamped those near the cattails. MUCH better. 😊
At this angle (I took this photo near the sunlight in my window), you can see the shimmer from the inked up Shimmery White Cardstock.
Here are measurements and more tips/directions if you wish to recreate this card. (Be sure to scroll down further to see a couple other versions of this card using the other dies in this set.)
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half
2-1/8” x 4-3/4”
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
3-5/8” x 4-7/8”
Shimmery White Cardstock
3-1/2” x 4-3/4” (or 3-1/2″ by 5-1/2″ which is an easier size for adding the ink)
Daffodil Delight Cardstock
3-1/2” x 4-3/4”
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/Tips…
Cutting your Shimmery White Cardstock to 3-1/2” x 4-3/4” will allow you to get five pieces from one 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet. But I found after making several of these cards (this is my birthday card I made for those in my Stampers With ART group that have June birthdays) that is was easier to swipe on the ink if I started with a wider piece. So you may want to cut your Shimmery White to at least 3-1/2″ by 5-1/2″.
Fold up a baby wipe (or two), place on top of a glass or plastic surface (a plate should work…or a large clear block as I used in this photo below), and squeeze on drops of ink to create a “rainbow ink pad.”
With gloved hands swipe the “rainbow ink pad” slow and steady across the Shimmery White Cardstock. Because I used a wider piece of cardstock, I had about 1/2″ to hold onto when swiping.
You’ll want to do this more than once to blend the colors and prevent a streaked look.
You should be able to ink a few more sheets of Shimmery White Cardstock before needing to add more ink to your baby wipe. So plan to make more than one card. OR…stamp into the baby wipe to make other cards (like my leaf card below). But either way, be sure to use this baby wipe up a bit more before throwing it away.
After your Shimmery White Cardstock dries, cut to 3-1/2” x 4-3/4”.
Die-cut the cattails from the 2-1/8” x 4-3/4” piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Use a sponge to add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back side. Then adhere the cattails to the bottom of the inked Shimmery White piece.
Stamp the sentiment and dragonflies, then layer this onto the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. Add this to the front of the card base using Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment and dragonfly onto the Daffodil Delight layer and add to the inside of the card using SNAIL.
Color rhinestones with Blends Markers and add to the front of the card near the sentiment.
Here I used my baby wipe as an ink pad…
…to get this fun and simple card.
And below are a couple other versions of my silhouettes card using the other two dies that come in this set. I used different colored cardstock layers, different ink refills (of course), and the Noble Peacock Rhinestones. (Those supplies are also listed below in the second Additional Products list.)
