With You in Mind

I made the cards in this photo using the With You In Mind stamp set. This was the first set that caught my eye when I had my first look at the Jan/April 2025 mini catalog from Stampin' Up! I love the large mixed fonts in the greetings - and the small stamped images are perfect for decorating the inside of cards as well as the outside of the envelopes. This is also a great set for beginner stampers - or for any stamper who wants to make a quick and easy card.

This card is made with just ink and paper - it doesn't get much easier than this! Of course, I could have added a little bling - but I think it's fine just the way it is.

When I first started stamping - with limited supplies - this was one of my favorite stamping techniques. I used VERSAMARK ink to stamp the hearts on the Melon Mambo card stock. You would get the same look by stamping the heart using Melon Mambo ink. But if you don't have every ink color - then this is a great technique to try.

This was a card that I visualized making when I first saw this stamp set. It would work with any of the images or greetings from this stamp set. I cut the squares using my paper trimmer - but if you have square punches or dies - it would be even easier.

Here's another quick and easy card. I used the new color coach to help me choose the colors for the stars: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight & Melon Mambo.

Here's another quick and easy card that you could make using any of the greetings in the stamp set - and using any color. If I make this card again, I will emboss the larger white mat behind the stamped layers with an embossing folder.

I also used the color coach to help me choose colors for this card. I'm not a fan of Granny Apple Green - but I'm trying to expand my horizons a bit! The color wheel told me the Fresh Freesia would be a good coordinating color - but I decided to use a similar color, Petunia Pop. I stamped the leaf pattern on the green using VERSAMARK. I hand cut the greeting and the mat behind it.

The four cards above were made using the Blooms Impressions Designer Paper, which is a set that you can get for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration (Jan 7-Feb 28, 2025.)

Quick & Easy cards with NEW DSP

I made these two cards using a 3 x12 inch piece of Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper - which you can earn for FREE with a qualifying purchase from my Stampin' Up! store from January 7 through February 28, 2025.

The cards below are made the same way - but with a piece of Wildflower Birthday Designer Paper (from the Jan/April 2025 mini catalog from Stampin' Up!) I did not mat the DSP on the cards below - which makes them even quicker and easier to create.

Below is a diagram for cutting the DSP to make these cards. First cut a 3" piece off the end of a piece of 12x12 DSP. Now you will have a 3 x 12" strip of paper. Cut that piece at 4" (A) cut the next piece 3 x 5 1/4" (B), and then you will be left with a piece that is 2 3/4 x 3" (C) for making the second card.

If you would like to see a video tutorial for making these cards - I have posted one on my Facebook Page. Watch the video now by clicking here.

Making the cards with different paper - creates a different look! There are so many options with Stampin' Up!'s beautiful papers and coordinating card stock (and ink) colors. I hope you give this a try!

Thoughtful Journey

Here are 14 cards I made using the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! It is part of the Thoughtful Journey Suite found on page 47 in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up!

I am giving away all 14 of these cards as a "thank you" to people who commented on a video post in one of my two private Facebook groups. To see more projects and special offers, please be sure to join one or both of those groups: "Let's Stamp A Little" and/or "2 Sisters Stamping."

Below are photos of the different cards I made. It is so easy to make beautiful cards using this paper. It has been very popular and has sold out several times - but as I write this, it is still available to purchase from my online store!

Purchase this gorgeous paper from my online store - and I will send you the basic cutting measurements for making these cards.
