I don't know about you, but I love to make batches of cards so that I always have a stash at my ready. An easy card layout can help you do that. And by mixing and matching Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper and incorporating it in the card layout, you can create lots of different cards with that 1 card layout.
In the following Facebook Live video replay, you'll see me demonstrate making 4 different cards using the same easy card layout and same Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper. You'll also pick up some tips and making your envelopes stunning too!
The card below I pulled from my stash and CASE'd it make 4 beautiful cards with products from the Blackberry Beauty Suite.
Cutting Dimensions:
Card base = 4 1/4" x 11", score & fold at 5 b1/2" on long side
White or Vanilla card stock for inside card = 5 1/4" x 4"
Designer Series Paper = Cut 1 piece 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" for center strip
Coordinating DSP = Cut 2 pieces 1" x 5 1/4" for left and right strips.
I love pairing these two sentiments from the Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set on the outside and inside of my cards. Perfect sentiment for so many people I know.
Another stunning card made with this simple layout and the Blackberry Beauty Suite! Who would you send this one too??? Definitely someone is need of our support?
For the next two cards, I changed the orientation of the card layout from vertical to horizontal making this simple layout even more versatile. "I'm Here For You" is a sentiment you can send to people for so many different reasons. Everyone wants to feel love and support from friends and family. It was fun to stamp the same image on the envelope as I used on the inside of my card.

In this video demonstration, you'll see the many different and detailed shapes made with the Encircled in Beauty Dies. These dies come in several sizes and are fun to mix and match. And, trust me when I say they cut beautifully. The picture below shows all the different shapes you can die cut with the Encircled in Beauty Dies.
Take a look at my video demonstration now, then get started making some of your own beautiful cards with the amazing Encircled in Beauty Dies and the coordinating Encircle in Friendship and Encircled in Warmth Stamp Sets. I'd love to see what you make with these coordinating products.
The following cards feature the Encircled in Friendship Stamp Set with the Encircled in Beauty Dies.
Is this pair of sentiments awesome or what??? I love it and can think of so many people in my life it is perfect for.
Cutting Dimensions:
Evening Evergreen card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" on long side. Designer Series Paper is 5" x 3 3/4". Crushed Curry layer is 5 1/8" x 3 7/8". Crushed Curry circle was made with the "wreath" die from Encircled in Beauty Dies.
My cards below feature the Encircled in Warmth Stamp Set and Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper with the Encircled in Beauty Dies. I just love my Christmas wreaths!
To make the berries on this card appear more realistic, I put drops of Fine Tip Glue on them. This gives the berries a raised, glossy look. TIP: This takes a good bit of drying time. Do it as the very last step in making your card, then lay flat to dry.
A strip of coordinating Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper add a nice touch to the inside of this card.
I used Pearl Basic Jewels colored with Cherry Cobbler Dark Stampin' Blends for the berries on the card below.
Cutting Dimensions:
Evening Evergreen card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" on long side. Designer Series Paper is 5 1/4" x 4. White circle was made with the "wreath" die from Encircled in Beauty Dies.

For today's Quick Tip Tuesday, I'm demonstrating how to make "frames" to use on your cards, scrapbook pages, and collages. It's super easy and gives even more versatility to your dies when you mix and match them to use in this unique way. Take a look and give it a try. You'll be glad you did!
Here's the card I made using the Pale Papaya frame I made in the video above. I used the largest Scalloped Contour Die with the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Die. It's easy to mix and match dies and the possibilities are endless. Consider making frames of different sizes and widths or even different shapes of dies like circles.

It's always fun learning new techniques. I was inspired to demonstrate the Torn Paper Technique with you all after seeing my friend Marti Blair do it. I love it.

I hope you'll give this technique a try and share what you make using it.

Masking isn't just for stepping up your Halloween Costumes. In fact, Masking is the name of the Stamping Technique I demonstrate for you in this video. You will love it. I make it easy with my tips. You'll be amazed at the depth that it creates in your stamping. It's a great technique to use with flowers and groups of images or even to create a scene like the Peaceful Deer standing in front of or behind a tree. So watch, learn, then grab your sticky notes and Paper Snips and get started masking.

Basic White Thick Card Stock = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"
Basic White for stamping = 5" x 3 3/4"

Did you know you can get the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle FREE?
It's true. When you join my Stampin' Up! community through September 30th, you can choose a Bundle from our Holiday Mini Catalog absolutely FREE. Click on the following link to see all 12 bundle options: Download FLYER_SAB_JOIN_NA.
Now, let's do the math to see your saving when you purchase a Starter Kit. Our Starter Kit is completely 100% customizable and includes $125 in product of your choice! You pay just $99 + sales tax and it all ships to you FREE. So for approximately $107.50 (based on 7.5% sales tax where I live), you'd get $125 chosen by you PLUS a FREE BUNDLE from the Holiday Mini Catalog for an additional savings of $31.50 - $60.25 (depending on the free bundle you choose). WOW!
How much would that all cost you if you don't purchase the Starter Kit??? $125 product cost + $12.50 shipping + $10.31 sales tax (based on 7.5%) for a total of $147.81. That's a HUGE difference, and the total doesn't even include the cost of the additional Bundle that is free for those who join my team.

As requested I am posting PDF's for the Color Coach Cards you may have seen me use from time to time in my business, including in my Facebook Lives. Once downloaded, you can print the sheets, then cut the cards apart. I like to have mine mounted on the same color card stock. Color Coach cards measure about 3" x 4" when cut apart. Cut your card stock 3 1/4' x 4 1/4". You can punch a hole in each of the cards and put them on a 2" ring which makes the cards very easy to use.
I hang my Color Coach Ring on the front corner of my craft table for easy access. I knew I wanted to stamp my Dahlia with Magenta Madness. The Magenta Madness card above is where I came up with the color combination I used to make the card below on my September 13, 2021, Facebook Live.
CLICK HERE to get the supply list & cutting dimensions for this card and watch the video demonstration to make this card including how to make a card closure with the Tailored Tag Punch.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you put the resource to use. You'll be glad when you do.
In a recent Facebook Live, I showed my viewers a fun trick for creating a card closure with the Tailored Tag Punch. My card showcases the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set and lots of colorful layers to make a very bright and cheerful card that is sure to bring a smile! Enjoy this video demonstration and then create a card with a closure made from the Tailored Tag Punch or another punch of your choice. I think many of our punches will work.
FYI...the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set can be yours free when you place a Stampin' Up! order of $100 or more now through September 30th.
Cutting Dimensions:
Basic White Thick card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" on long side
Magenta Madness layer = 5 1/4" x 4"
So Saffron layer = 5" x 3 3/4"
