Did you know that you can create bunnies and carrots with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch? I added in a sentiment from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set and the large egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies to get this sweet bunny rabbit card. Change out the sentiment to get a baby card, an Easter card, a happy Spring card, and more.
I made quite a few of these.
And I brought 80 of them with me to Houston today.
I’ll be at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, our big yearly convention for the next several days. These cards will be my swap cards. And of course I had to create something that featured my Layering Leaves Stamp Set in a fun and creative way, right? Now my hope is that this set will remain in the Annual Catalog for another year. I’ll find out in a couple days when the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog is revealed to all of us demonstrators attending.
I don’t have directions for you today, but tomorrow you’ll be able to access my how-to video. Make sure you are subscribed to my blog and/or my YouTube channel so you get notifications for when I share and post.

I love the Textured Timber images, purchased the set right away, and was inspired to create this card shown here which I also paired with the Layering Leaves stamp set.
The flower petals come from one of the Layering Leaves leaf branch images! Fun, right?

My 9-year-old niece stopped by this weekend to drop off our Girl Scout cookies we had ordered. She loves the band Blackpink and was dressed in a sweatshirt with their name. And so even though her birthday isn’t until August, I had her in mind when I created today’s card.
I knew I wanted to feature the guitar. But I also really wanted a large vinyl record in the background. Stampin’ Up! doesn’t sell smooth circle dies that are this large. But I figured it out. And it just took a bit of fussy cutting.
I added pinks for the accent colors, but this card can be altered for someone YOU have in mind simply by switching out the inks. (You’ll see examples of that in the video AND in the photos below.)
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this fun “vinyl & strings” birthday card with the Rock & Roll Suite of other coordinating Stampin’ Up! products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements …
Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short at 4-1/4”
Scrap that measures 4-1/2” x 4-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting guitar
Scrap for stamping and cutting out rock star sentiment
2” diameter circle
Holographic Foil Paper
(4) 1/2” x 5-1/2”
Scrap for die-cutting stars
Rock & Roll Designer Paper
(2) 4” x 5-1/2”
Here are photos! This is the original…the one I made before my demonstration.
This is the one I created during the demonstration. You can see the top of the vinyl record on this one only extends to the edge of the designer paper to show off more of the holographic foil.
And the guitars are different. The card I demonstrated features pink rhinestones and a white highlight.
These are the other two versions of this card showing off purples and yellows instead of pinks. The ink I used for these are listed below the main supply list.
Can you see the shimmer on the pick guard (the dark center face of the guitar) and record label?
And this is what the inside of the card looks like on my first one. It’s a fun designer paper print!

A bunch of new products just landed in the Online Store today! Yes…the new items ARE HERE! Click here to view all the Online Exclusives. The newest ones will be the ones you see first.
Today I want to introduce you to one of the new products…a great new background stamp called Drizzling Droplets. It’s a fun image that can cover the surface of a card front and depending on how you stamp it can look like so many things…possibly snow, water, bubbles, carbonation, lights, confetti, or even just an abstract fun background.
I inked the stamp up in two different colors using my brayer. First I rolled half of the brayer multiple times across one ink pad, then I rolled the other half of the brayer multiple times across another ink pad being careful not to mix the inks together. (Inking the lighter color first might be wise in case the first color accidentally comes in contact with the second.) These are the backgrounds I achieved on my first couple cards.
For each of these I used the Azure Afternoon and Berry Burst Ink Pads. When you roll the brayer across the stamp to ink it up, you need to shift it up and down the image. Doing this will mix the two colors in the middle. So it creates a gradient. (See below for a complete list of products I used on my cards. These products are linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
After stamping the Drizzling Droplets image onto a 4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White piece of cardstock, I used Blending Brushes to add a soft glow coming in from the top and bottom (same ink pads). Then I trimmed 1/8″ off of each side to get rid of the harshness of the color on the edges.
Measurements
Basic White Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
4-1/4” x 5-1/2″
3/8″ Sheer Ribbon
5-1/2”
Colored Cardstock
Scrap that is at least 2″ x 3-3/8”
I adhered a length of Azure Afternoon 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon wrapping the ends and taping them to the back. I added this to to the front of the folded card base with Dimensionals – one in each corner. Then I added the “Hello” (with Mini Dimensionals) and Rhinestones to finish off the design.
Notice that the drops are “falling down” on one card and “bubbling up” on the other. I liked the bubbling up look and wanted to try it out with other colors. So I made two more cards which I personally like a bit more. They have a sunshine feel to them.
I did the same thing I did with the first two but just used different colors of ink and cardstock.
Card #3: Melon Mambo Ink, Pumpkin Pie Ink & Cardstock, Cajun Craze Ink (for the outline of the word Hello), Bubble Bath Ribbon
Card #4: Daffodil Delight Ink, Parakeet Party Cardstock & Ink, Lemon Lolly Ribbon, Granny Apple Green Ink (for the outline of the word Hello)
For the “Hello” I inked up the raised lettering on the embossing folder, placed the coordinating hybrid die in place, add the cardstock to cover the word, closed the folder, and ran it all through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to ink emboss and cut it out. Then I used a white gel pen to draw on highlights.
Do you have a favorite? Can you think of occasions a hello card like this would be perfect for? If you recreate this card or a version of it, I’d love for you to share it with me.
I haven’t shared much news about my oldest son Nick on social media or my videos since the fall when he was competing in marching band. So I thought I’d show you a couple photos and give you a quick update.
He’s been meal prepping. He cooks salmon, steak, chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, and green beans. He weighs everything out and packages it all up into multiple meals. And he does this two times each week.
Nick has been very serious about fitness, exercise, and strength training. His goal for some time has been to have a career in the fitness industry, be an influencer, own his own business, and compete in body building competitions. And thanks to his coach, his more routine schedule now that he is done with marching band, his dedication to the gym, his drive and hard work, his discipline, and his positive mindset, he will be participating in his first competion on June 8th. And he has been posting to Instagram for some time now working hard to build a following. It’s been amazing to watch his journey.
He is a high school senior and graduates this year! So I’m now planning and prepping for that. SOOOooo fun!

The Love This Memory Notebook Kit has been sitting on my shelf for a few months now. But on February 1st Stampin’ Up! announced that it would be one of the free extra products offered with a $50+ order during Sale-a-Bration. So I opened it up and dove in. And guess what? It’s a really fun kit! Not only is it bright and cheerful. But there are a ton of pieces in it. I didn’t even need to cut down and use any parts of the actual notebook. And after creating a bunch of cards with the stamps, printed cards, and stickers, I still have a ton of items (and iridescent tape!) left over so I can still make a creative memory-keeping notebook.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to make 20 cards from this Love This Memory Kit and some extra Stampin’ Up!’s cardstock and envelopes. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.
