Your Creativity Will Bloom with Mediterranean Blooms DSP!

Create this Just a Note Card with the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Card by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

The Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) is colorful, classic and captivating.  It’s one of My Favorite Things in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  One side focuses on citrus patterns (very vintage) and the opposite side is a rich mix of blue “tile” patterns.

Does it matter where you trim a pattern?  YES!  I centered the large pattern so that the “just a note” sentiment would be centered.  Centering the pattern is easier than you think.  Mark the center on the opposite side of the DSP (or do a little notch with a scissor and measure equal distances from center where you want to trim.

Say “Howdy” with a Quick Masculine Card!

Say “Howdy” with a Quick Masculine Card! Using Stampin' up! Mix and Match Products and Spotlight on Nature dies. Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

NEW Stampin’ Up! Mix & Match products (p. 18-21 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog) PLUS one key “ingredient” (Spotlight on Nature circle dies) are at the core of today’s masculine card. I have become a super fan of the Mix & Match Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes and pre-cut sentiments of the Mix & Match Saying Something Ephemera Pack (“Howdy”). The Spotlight on Nature Dies offer an assortment of circle sizes with darling details. “Zoom in” to discover the three different styles of die cut edges!

Do You Fancy a Fancy Fold Card?

Create this Happy Birthday Fun Fold using the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Card by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

The gorgeous floral patterns of the Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper dress up today’s simple fancy fold card. The muted chic of the 2023-2025 In Colors look so exquisite together!

WHAT I LOVE! A hint of sparkle and a hint of rustic. This fancy fold card gets the right balance of coordinated “personality” from three Moody Mauve sparkle gems (2023-2025 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots) and Pebbled Path Jute (divided into strands – see details and video here).
