I used a Stampin’ Up! Narrow Note Card and Envelope for today’s soft and feminine birthday card. The 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 size is charming for gift giving or tucking a little surprise in an unexpected place (lunch “box,” suitcase, mirror, pillow).

The 2018-2019 Annual catalog began yesterday (details here)! The Varied Vases Bundle is officially on sale. This is the stamp set and punch that I partnered with Stampin’ Up! to design in celebration of reaching my $1 million in sales milestone last year. Watch my Varied Vases video (oodles of tips) and get four FREE PDF tutorials of my previous projects using the bundle here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Use a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Narrow Note Card (4 1/2 x 2 1/2) and coordinating envelope. The cards are cut, scored and ready to go.
Cut a 4 x 2 Crumb Cake pattern from Share What You Love Designer Series Paper. Adhere with Snail Adhesive to a 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 piece of Petal Pink Card Stock. Adhere both to the narrow note card base.
Use the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool (more details here) to precisely place and stamp the largest vase and orchids from the Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card stock.
Crop the vase and orchids using the second to largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, the Big Shot and the Magnetic Platform (to help keep the die in place).
Crop vellum leaves using the Leaf Punch and adhere with Snail Adhesive to the back of the circle above. Adhere circle to card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool to stamp the small vase from Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Petal Pink card stock. Crop with with the Vases Builder Punch.
Tie Linen Thread in a bow around the neck of the Petal Pink vase. Adhere with a Stampin’ Dimensional as shown.
Stamp the birthday sentiment (Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set) using the Stamparatus and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Petal Pink card stock. Crop using a die from Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies, the Big Shot and Magnetic Platform. Cut off left side as shown and adhere to circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The perfect touch! Add Petal Pink adhesive pearls (Share What You Love Artisan Pearls) to the orchid flower centers.
LOVE THIS TIP TO LINE THE ENVELOPE! Use the same stitched circle die as above to crop another pattern from Share What you Love Designer Series Paper. Adhere with Snail Adhesive to the inside flap of the narrow note card envelope.

Hi Mary,
I truly love this card. The colors, the elegant simplicity is definitly what I like best. I am now inspired to get the stamp set and the colors you used to create this card!!!
I have followed you for years and like all of your creations! Thank you for inspiring me and many others!
Beverly in California
Thanks so much, Beverly. Your comment and loyalty (“for years”) mean the world!
Love the card. Love the stamp set. Love the shape and colors! I can’t wait to get ordering!
I’m glad you are inspired, Karren. I love these little notecards!
I LOVE this card, Mary! This Petal Pink is gorgeous – and whoever designed this stamp set deserves an award. Love it!
You knocked this one out of the park!! Awesome design and I love your stamp set and punch. Thank you for your continued inspiration!
Thanks, Carol. I enjoyed working with neutrals for a different spin on the bundle!
I just “love” this stamp set. it was the first stamp set I ordered yesterday. I am from Canada or I would have ordered it through you. You make such beautiful cards. Thanks, Cheryl
What a delight to read your comment, Cheryl!
Good morning, Mary ~
I am particularly excited about this card because, not unlike many paper crafters, I have much too much inventory of “smallish” scraps that I just cannot discard. This is the perfect solution to my problem. You never disappoint – your ideas are always fresh, bright, delightful.
Good point about small pieces working with the narrow note cards, Ann Marie. Have a creative weekend!
What a GORGEOUS card creation my friend. I really like how you added a touch of vellum with the punched out leaves. BRILLIANT!
Thanks, Kadie. The vellum leaves add texture but keep the look soft!
I absolutely adore this color combo! Such a beautiful card!
You are so sweet, Deanna. Good things come in small cards, right!
Oh MsMary, that’s such a beautiful card , I love all those pinks , they go together so nicely, great job , like always MsMary ♥️
Tfs , hugs Frenchie ♥️
Petal Pink is a lovely vintage peach pink . . . perfect with the “nudes” trend in fashion and home decor! Thanks, Frenchie.
What a gorgeous card. I love the colors and layers you used. Your stamp set and punch are amazing —love them. So pretty.
I’m thrilled to be associated with the Varied Vases stamp set. Thanks for stopping by, Selina!
I love another beautiful card using your Varied Vases. You included so many optional pieces in it for a wonderful variety of designs. It must be exciting for the stamping world to see your very own stamp set. I’m so excited for you. Enjoy your day!
It’s such an honor to have participated in the design of the stamp set. Your kind comments are always appreciated, HJ!
Good Morning Mary! I am so happy the world can now order your stamp set. I think it is a great, super and wonderful, clean, simple and easy bundle. Love, Love, Love it.
Have a wonderful day.
🙂
You know how to make a girl’s day, Nancy. Thank you!
