My second card shows the versatility of this suite! I needed a birthday card for my sister in law, Nancy! Her birthday is in early September and she happens to have a Cajun Craze colored VW! I knew I had to create a special birthday card for her using that VW! Here’s what I came up with!
Nancy lives in Michigan and often travels up north where there are lots and lots of trees! I used the landscape dies to create a tree-lined road ! I cut out three of pieces of the landscape die – two in Old Olive and one in Smoky Slate to represent the road. I snipped off the trees from one of the Old Olive pieces and also from the Smoky Slate piece. I adhered them together with Mono Liquid Glue. I used the trees I had removed to add some interest in the lower part of the panel.
Fun and whimsical! Also, I used the “smoke” stamp – which is meant for smoke coming out of the chimney as a little bit of exhaust coming out the back of the VW!
Don’t miss out on this whimsical fun Suite and your chance to Make a Difference!
My next pick – the BEAUTIFUL Poinsettia Place Suite. It’s is truly gorgeous!
I’m a fan of neutrals and love that the designer paper has some neutrals in it – my favorite poinsettias are the white ones! Saying that, I have to add that a poinsettia done in the beautiful Red Velvet Paper is a “wow!”

Here is a link to my Facebook Live where I created these cards:
Start with a Blackberry Bliss card base, cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
Take a piece of the Designer Series Paper -I used the Harlequin pattern, cut 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the “triple window die.”
Using Tuxedo Memento Ink, stamp the Owl with the Spider and the Owl with the Moon onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 13/4″ x 2 1/2″.
Stamp the Owl with the Pumpkin onto a 1 1/2″ square piece of Whisper White cardstock
Color as desired – I used the following blends: Light Black, Soft Suede Combo, Cajun Craze Combo, Light Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry Combo
Use the dies to cut out the Owl with the Cape and Moon and the Owl with the Pumpkin.
To position the pieces, attach dimensionals to the back corners of each die cut window on the designer series paper, and position the White stamped panels. Attach this to the card base with dimensionals.
Add the Pumpkin cut out shape to the card with a dimensional. Pop up the owl and the moon with dimensionals, attaching to the card.
Stamp the Boo onto a small strip of paper and attach to card front. To finish the card, add three Iridescent Pearls with the Take Your Pick Tool.
Add a Whisper White Panel to the inside of the card, and stamp with a greeting. I also added a small strip of DSP scrap onto the bottom of the white panel.
