Let's start the week off with a birthday card tutorial including some tips for backgrounds.
This card features the Share a Milkshake Bundle and I've used the "straw" stamp to make a fun background. It adds a fun touch and ties in the Crumb Cake color from the cone and the ribbon.
The images and dies in this combo of products add just the right touch for birthday celebrations, Valentine cards, or for just because greetings!
Let's take a look at the video for this card assembly and tips!

We had a great time on World Card Making Day last Saturday as I went live on YouTube and Facebook to make three fun Stampin' Up! Christmas cards for 2022.
One was a clean and simple design that I love to recreate yearly. Another was a fun fold featuring some of our designer series paper from the annual catalog. The other card was designed by using designer paper from the Mini catalog highlighting the images from the paper by using those as the card's focal point.
These designs are easy to duplicate and I hope you are inspired to recreate them with products that you have at home. Or, if you need you can just simply order the supplies to create these as seen in the video through the online store.
Let's take a look at the recording from World Card Making Day so you can see how-to for the clean & simple card idea.
Clean & Simple Design
Find a beautifully patterned paper, combine it with a sentiment and you have a beautiful, clean & simple card.

Here are the supplies used to make this card. Simply click on the links to shop the online store. Thank you!

It's Thursday and I am super excited to share a cardmaking tip for layering with you!
The Color & Contour Bundle (English) [158356] was not on my "radar" when the Stampin' Up! catalog was released but the dies were irresistible which "forced" me into buying the bundle. Let me tell you... I have not regretted it one bit! This combo is beautiful and so versatile.
Another surprise to me was this new In Color, Pale Papaya. It was my LEAST favorite when these new In Colors from Stampin' Up! were released this past spring. Admittedly, it has been the color most used in this new collection. Go figure! Stampin' Up! will not lead me astray. This Pale Papaya color is gorgeous!
Let's take a look at the video so you can see it in action. :)
Lisa's Inklings:
Did you catch that layering tip at the end of that card-making video? It was an afterthought but you can totally incorporate that technique during the process.

Today's video has a tip for mounting the photopolymer stamps on clear blocks.
The high-quality stamps from Stampin' Up! are produced in photopolymer (clear) stamps or in red rubber, cling mount stamps. Our cling red rubber stamps help you stamp images with intricate detail. Our photopolymer clear stamps make it easy to align multiple images on one project.
The ease of use of the photopolymer is awesome but because these are so flexible, there is a tip I'd like to offer for mounting. Let's take a look...

Today's video is a tip for keeping up with those dies so you won't be singing "where oh where has that little die gone"!
I cannot tell you how many times that a die has disappeared while crafting. Even with my nifty tool that you'll see in the video...at times I will forget to use it! I've switched so that I have it in plain view and within easy reach. It is a time saver and alleviates a lot of frustration for me. Let's take a look at this nifty tool! ;)

You are probably wondering about this tip regarding futurecasting and card making.
By futurecasting, I am referring to planning ahead for some event or special occasion in the future. There may be certain supplies or stamp sets that are will be just what you need that is available now but may not be available at the time of the occasion or event.
It will be more clear once you see the video below.
That particular set that was shown in the video has been retired for a while. I am so glad that I made that investment...I've used it on several occasions! And, this isn't the only set or supply that I've purchased because I felt that I would want/need it at some point.
Here are some other examples of futurecasting for cardmaking:
With the Stampin' Up! Last Chance Promotion going on now, it's a good time for you to check those items and futurecast for your cardmaking or scrapbooking!

If you're shopping for a gift for a crafty person in your life, these cardmaking kits are all-inclusive with everything that is needed to make some beautiful handmade cards.

This kit makes 15 cards, 3 each of 5 designs, using the included Looking Up Photopolymer Stamp Set. Folded card size is 4" x 6".
It comes with a classy looking box and all you'll need to do is wrap a pretty red bow around it and add a gift tag. The printed cardboard box is 9-1/4" x 9-1/4" x 1-7/8".
This box also makes for great storage for the completed cards. And, as you can see, the stamp set comes with some super sentiments. You can even use sentiments on multiple labels. Need more birthday cards? Just use the birthday sentiment on more of the labels.
Here is another kit that I thought would make a great gift. It's the Simply Citrus Card Kit.
This kit has a fun and flirty feel. Included are supplies to make 15 cards, 3 each of 5 designs, using the included Simply Citrus Photopolymer Stamp Set which is also included. The folded card size is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".

For this week's Facebook Live, my husband, Jackie, and I teamed up for another "kit together" for some beautiful DIY Christmas Gift Tags.
This kit from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog is called appropriately, Tag Buffet. There is a coordinating stamp set sold separately but honestly, you can create these tags and use on your Christmas gifts without the stamped sentiments.
Originally, I had asked Jackie to just punch out the tags and images and sort them for me. When he asked if I wanted him to put them together, of course, I wasn't going to turn him down. Here's the video from the Wednesday Craft & Chat on Facebook.
In the video, you saw that you can also use these tags to make Christmas cards.
Here is a look at those cards which would be great for sending to family or friends!
