The Stampin’ Up! To Market Designer Series Paper (DSP) makes card making a snap on this fresh and fun birthday card. What? No Peach Pie on the list for this DSP? I like to look beyond the colors listed. There are often more possibilities (like Peach Pie) due to variations in shades.
FREE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER COORDINATING COLOR CHARTS! I offer FREE designer series paper coordinating color charts that make the art of choosing colors, coordination and creating simple cards even easier. You can find them on my resource page here.
WHAT I LOVE! Does the die cut sentiment remind you of a movie marquee, too? I adore the details of the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Dies. The collection includes 11 detailed dies in multiple shapes and sizes for classy card making. You can shop the Everyday Details collection of dies here.
my pretty color combination
NEED COLOR INSPIRATION? The color combination of Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo, and Peach Pie uses one of the 5 Combinations inspired by the To Market Designer Series Paper that I shared yesterday! You can see my Color Combination library here.
my simple card tutorial
how to cut your cardstock & dimensions:
- Basic White Thick Card Stock:

how to make this simple card:
Burnish the fold of the Basic White Thick card base with a Bone Folder.
Layer and adhere the Designer Series Paper, Peach Pie, and To Market Designer Series Paper layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere the Melon Mambo strip to the layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Wrap with Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon, securing with a bow as shown.
Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Mini MISTI to position and stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink onto the Basic White layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick demonstration here.
Use a Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the sentiment with the 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 Everyday Details die.
Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals just below the ribbon as shown.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish as shown with 3 Peach Pie 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. PRETTY TIP! Add glue to the flap, not the Designer Series Paper. Flip to the inside of the flap and carefully snip away the excess with Paper Snips. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW Video Tutorial to learn how here.
