Today’s card design is the fourth in the Irresistible Birthday card pack series. This designer series paper has been so fun to work with because it lends itself to so many possibilities. And this card leans much more feminine in both palette and overall feel.
I really have a hard time working with shades of orange. Believe it or not, this card base is a shade of coral, and this card came together easily. Hello Irresistible has really been a delight to work with for that very reason.
This design plays to the feminine vibes with all of the sparkle. From the gold-laced ribbon to pops of gold in sequins to the tiniest sparkle around the sentiment panel with Wink of Stella, this card really shines!
This fun fold reminds me of a barn door with the card opening in the center. Don’t you think? If you’re interested in how this design came together, go check it out over on Instagram!

Today we’re taking a look at the third design in the new birthday pack called Irresistible Birthday that will be up in the Etsy shoppe later this week. This design is based on a new fun fold I learned from Sharon Armstrong. The original design has been adapted to exclude a few layers in order to lighten up the design, but it does not lose any of the drama of this unique fun fold.
This showcases yet another sampling of the SU! Hello, Irresistible designer paper. One of the things I really loved about this design was the ability to use every scrap of the gorgeous paper on both the inside and outside panels of the card. And who says a masculine card can’t have a little sparkle? This design is punched up with a few eye-catching features — silver pearls, iridescent sequins, and the touch of Wink of Stella around the edges of the sentiment elements.

Today I’m sharing another design in the Irresistible Birthday card pack that will be available in the Etsy shoppe at the end of the week. I had a lot of fun learning this new fun fold that my mom shared with me (originally shared by Dawn Griffith). The original design is a square card, and I like to keep all of my designs a standard size that doesn’t require special envelopes or additional postage. So I resized the original to be a standard-sized vertical card. Because I didn’t want to make any mistakes with my “good paper,” I worked on getting all of the measurements and folds just right by using paper from our shredding bin. And now I have a workable template where I scribbled all of the measurements as I went. Do you ever make templates? It helps me to keep all of the instructions I scribble down straight with what they actually make!
I am really loving the versatility of this designer paper. The first design in the Irresistible Birthday card pack really lent itself to being more masculine, but this card is definitely softer and more feminine. It’s the perfect combination of pale pinks and soft, rosey oranges. And I think the fun fold design really adds some fun to this card!

Howdy, everyone! It’s been a busy week in the studio. I’ve been taking a social media class and practicing what I’m learning. So there is lots of new content, exciting features, and new designs headed your way!
Today we’re taking a look at the first design in a new birthday pack called Irresistible Birthday that will be hitting the Etsy shoppe next week.
This set of designs is based on the SU! designer paper series called Hello Irresistible. The designs in this paper pack are divine! A mix of florals and hippie vibes but nothing too feminine, as you can see here with this more masculine design.
This card came together pretty quickly. As I mentioned earlier this week, “practice makes progress” and I’m certainly getting faster at pairing patterned papers. Filming the making of this card so I could show you the design process in an Instagram reel is what took the longest. (See, I’m putting my training to work!) I’m still getting the hang of how to set things up and working through how to have the right supplies at hand so filming goes smoothly .

Today’s design was crafted with a friend in mind. My friend is an artist and shared her talents with my family by painting my son a portrait of our kitties, who both totally think my son hung the moon and even tuck him into bed almost every night.
The Zoo Crew designer paper had the perfect character for the thank-you card my son is going to send. I mounted a sheet of the Delightfully Eclectic paper to the card base, punched the cute hedgehog artiste from the Zoo Crew paper, and mounted it on some glimmer vellum. Some ribbon and flags diecut from glimmer vellum accent the design and really make the focal image pop. I added a few adhesive-backed sequins and Wink of Stella for a little extra punch of sparkle.

I have lots of new things to share in the days ahead after getting a few new goodies delivered yesterday. Today’s design features the SU! Bold Bouquet stamps and dies.
This sunny design would be perfect for any recipient, even the guys in your life. The plaid design in the Inked Botanicals designer paper bundle provides the perfect neutral backdrop for this gorgeous bouquet, which sits atop glimmer vellum diecut using the Deckled Rectangle set. The sentiment is nestled in the bouquet. For a little extra sparkle, the larger roses have centers accentuated with the Wink of Stella glitter brush. This design has the perfect amount of sparkle in person and is sure to bring a smile to its recipient!

A stunning design doesn’t always have to include a stamped image. It was fun to stretch the design wings with a no-stamp design challenge. This set of designs features the SU! Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and Alphabet a la Mode dies. Solid-colored cardstock serves as the base for each card, while a simple white shape really makes the sentiment on each card pop.

Howdy and happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed the weekend and maybe a festivity or two for Father’s Day. Today, I’m bringing you another fun card design using the Zany Zoo Suite and a diagonal fun fold shared over at Klompen Stampers.
What I love about this particular fun fold design is that it is so easy and it makes TWO cards at one time. How about that for efficiency?! For this first design, I used the sing-along sheet of designer paper from the Zoo Crew pack to create a cute birthday card.
The base is Pool Party and the diagonal design is cut by marking the cardstock at 3” down/up on the short edge of both sides of the paper and then cutting a straight line between the two marks. Score one half at 3” and 6.75” and then fold to create the panels. The outward-facing panels are 2.75” wide, 3.25” wide, and 4” wide.
For this first design, I chose DSP for the front panel and diecut and popped up the singing turtle for effect. I chose a complimentary DSP from the Zoo Crew pack for the outward-facing center panel. I prefer to have the center inside panel be blank for a personal message and selected white for the message panel. I built a concert scene for the inside back panel using Pool Party, DSP, and black cardstock. I fussy cut the frog from the sing-along sheet and used lots of dimensionals for a more realistic look.
Using the second card base, I created this fun little Hello notecard. I used the dies to cut the crocheting llama from the arts & crafts sheet from the Zoo Crew paper pack. I punched a circle from Melon Mambo cardstock to use as the base under the llama. To complete the scene, I diecut the table, vase, and flowers using the Zany Zoo dies. I used a portion of a sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set and cut a banner strip from white paper. This entire scene is popped up on dimensionals for added drama and realism. The outward-facing center panel is a scrap of sing along sheet and finished with Petal Pink duo ribbon. I kept the very back panel very simple with black cardstock, a strip of champagne dazzle specialty paper, and a simple HELLO diecut using the Alphabet a la Mode set and cut from Melon Mambo cardstock. The flowers are diecut from Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green and the centers are finished with festive pearls and sit atop dimensionals.

Today’s design features an accordion fold and the Zany Zoo Suite of products. Inspiration for this card came from Tami White’s accordion fold tutorial. The three-panel design gives you so many opportunities to highlight both adorable designer paper and stamps. I wanted this design to tell a story of a birthday surprise.
The base of the card is Granny Apple Green cardstock, which is cut to standard size and scored to create the folds and panels. The first panel features the on-the-move sheet of paper from the Zoo Crew designer paper pack. To bring attention to the scootering fox but avoid fussy cutting, I used a circle punch to cut it out and dimensionals to pop it up. The second panel introduces the adorable alligator from the DSP. I cut the alligator and balloons using the coordinating dies, and I made the hilly background using the curtain die. The third panel features the raccoon stamp and die, which is colored using Stampin’ Write markers.
