You Always Deliver Birthday Card

As often as packages get delivered to my house, via USPS, UPS, Fedex & Amazon, you'd think I would have made a card like this a long time ago!

I guess I don't feel like my skills as a cardmaker are that good, therefore, I rarely give out the cards I make...I just store them up for some reason and do nothing with them!

I really loved the cute images in this set though, it is from a retired Stampin' Up set called " You Always Deliver" 

I searched and found many adorable examples of cards that could be made using this set and it inspired me to try my own.

If you are interested in these other cards I found, you can see some of them on my Pinterest Board here, or by clicking the collage photo below: 

I created mine to mimic a Postal Service Worker, but of course you could design him to be any delivery type worker you want, that is the fun part and the possibilities are endless! 

Below are the measurements and supplies I used to create this card.

Celebrate Patriotic Card for 4th of July

 I am a tad late posting this card as the glorious 250th Anniversary of this great country was celebrated last week, but I wanted to share anyway as I love this country and am so blessed to be able to live here in freedom that was so fervently fought for by our forefathers!

This card was inspired by a monthly project share challenge from my Stampin' Up Upline Anna...and this month's challenge/share was "Patriotic Pride"!

I was also inspired by this weeks "Freshly Made Sketches" Challenge #744.

I think Fourth of July is one of my most favorite Holidays, so you'd think with all my hoarders craft stash that I would have TONS of patriotic themed stuff to make this card, but sadly, when I went to get started on this card, I realized I was woefully short on supplies for this particular Holiday!

I did what I could with what I had on hand and just convinced myself to "Make it Work!" and I hope I did...

Card Recipe:

Stamp Set: SU Service Essentials (#167436), SU Beautiful Motifs (#165198), SU Bokeh Dots (#148113)

Die Set: SU Service Essentials (#167437)

Focal Piece: Rectangle Cardstock Piece (2-1/2" x 4") Basic White, Stamped with Fireworks Stamp from: SU Bokeh Dots (#148113) (Retired) 

Sentiment (Front): “Celebrate”  SU Beautiful Motifs

Race Car Birthday Card

 Well, it’s about time I made a card with a racing theme!

After all, my family is full of Drag Racers!

My husband, son and brother-in-law have all raced nearly their entire lives...a legacy that was left to them by my dear departed father-in-Law who taught them everything they know!

I even dipped my toes in the “Drag Racing” game at our local Drag Strip (which has since sadly closed down), for the Wednesday Night Drags and actually won on 4 occasions! 

I was pretty excited when I saw that Stampin’ Up was releasing a stamp set with a racing theme…(even if it wasn’t drag racing!) Still waiting on that one…that would be beyond awesome! 

For now, this one will have to do and I have to say it’s pretty cool! 

My husband loves the color red and his race car is red, so of course that is the color I chose for this race car! 

His next favorite color is blue and the new car he is building will be blue and white, so I naturally leaned to that color also. 

This stamp set is perfect for that masculine card you might be looking to make for that special man in your life!

 I haven't made many "Baby" themed cards but have been wanting to make one with this soon to be retired Stampin' Up Set - Cutest Onesie!

I've had the stamp set for awhile, but being the craft hoarder that I am...I have WAY more stamp sets than I have time to use them all! LOL!

Paradise Garden Thank-You Card

 I am really loving some of the new releases at Stampin' Up and I decided to use this stamp set: Paradise Garden along with some of the SU new "In-Colors" for this pretty floral Thank-You card.

I used the matching hybrid embossing folder and dies for this stamp set as well and inked the edges of the sentiment on the front to make it stand out from the white embossed background. 

It is a bit hard to see the embossed piece in the photo above, but it really is a beautiful leaf pattern that accents this set well!

It can be seen a little bit better in the photo below. 

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray Ink to give it a more subtle look to match the theme of the card. 

I also included a small die-cut flower stamped in the new "In-Color" Barely Blush.

I just love this new color...I think it's my favorite so far! 

Below are the measurements & supplies I used to make this card.

Card Recipe:

Type Card: Side Fold (A2)

Card Base: 8-½” x 5-½”, Scored at 4-¼” - Stampin’ Up Barely Blush Cardstock
