Today’s card I thought I’d feature a fairly “subtle” design that could accommodate a generic type for both genders. I used the all NEW Emerald Envy designer series paper along with some Crushed Curry. The stamp set is from a sweet set called Biggest Birthday Ever! It’s really a cool little set. This set comes with a Bundle for a cost savings of 10% and let me say, the framelits are so great. You can use them with OR without using your stamp set to create a great birthday card.
I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set Party with Cake. Of course, we can’t “party” without a birthday cake if it’s our birthday! Right? I used the Crushed Curry ink for the sentiment to coordinate with the layered scallop square backing. I know I’m using those great Square framelits a bunch lately, but gosh, they are so useful for most images as they come along in all different sizes. I encourage you to check them out!
Here’s a little close up:
It’s really a simple card and you certainly could do away with that sweet lil’ bow and it would look nice, too! I don’t want you to forget the sentiment punch I used. It’s awesome because it fits into lots of sentiments we have and who doesn’t like to punch stuff?
That’s it for my card today, don’t you think it’s pretty simple looking? It is! Oh, and I popped everything up on dimensional to give it well…dimension!
Remember, today is the very last day to order the Thoughtful Branches set! Don’t miss out!
I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Do you have any new neighbors that have recently moved into your neighborhood or apartment or condo complex? If so, here’s a thoughtful gesture of a card to give with a nice warm loaf of chocolate chip banana bread! I can smell it in my oven now…well I could if I was actually baking it, but….oh well…someday soon, I hope. 🙂
This card and cards like these for welcoming new neighbors are nice to have on hand. All you then need to do is grab a bouquet of sweet flowers, a bottle of wine or back your specialty bread or a plate full of delicious snickerdoodle cookies, just attach your sweet welcome card and you have a welcome “gift!”
I pulled out my Delightful Djon (I love djon mustard, do you?) Designers pack, snatched up the polka dots and cropped it out with my Circle framelits (new this year!) in same color and stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla scrap piece in once again, Delightful Djon. Don’t you think it’s “delightful?” A more monotone color card for today and very simple, quick and easy.
These cards would be whiz to make up in different colors of your designers series packs of 12 X 12’s and then you’ll always have them on hand. Perhaps a co worker just moved in their their abode, or a friend or a family peep. Super quick and this stamp set is a great one as there’s other very useful and fun images to use, too!
Reminder! THE NEW 2016 HOLIDAY CATALOG GOES LIVE THIS THURSDAY! WOO HOO!!

The Thoughtful Branches stamp set only has two more days, then it hits the road…don’t let that happen before you get it! You will find that it’s such a magnificient stamp set to have on hand and at your ready!
Here it is! Order #144328, it’s the Bundle. Bundles are a cost savings to you! You can order the stamp set separately from the awesome frame its if you choose to.

You make me happy for stopping by today! 🙂 🙂 Thank you so much for your time here!
Isn’t he cute? Or she cute? Why do we tend to say oh he’s “so cute?” When really it’s a “she?”
I don’t know why, either. But, “he’s” so cute, isn’t he?!!
This darling stamp set is called Pretty Kitty! We don’t have any kitties at the Dean household, except for my “darling stamp set with Pretty Kitty!”
Precious little set! You should take a long hard look especially if you’re a kitty cat lover. I stamped him with Stazon Black ink and stamped the sentiment (which btw, can be used for many different reasons to many different peeps in our lives!) in Watermelon Wonder. This is just the prettiest tone of “reds and pinks” all put together in the bowl to make, Voila! Watermelon Wonder! Isn’t this pattern dsp adorbs? I’m lovin’ those sweet lil’ teeny tiny flowers! So sweet.
I colored in with the Daffodil Delight marker his cute ribbon bow around his little neck! AND then felt like it “needed” a little more “somethin.” So I added the Daffodil Delight enamel dot in the shape of the heart and put it to the side to add that lil’ somethin’ somethin! BUT, you don’t need it, necessarily. It would be cute without it, but I love “adding” things to my cards when sometimes it may not realllllllyyyy need it. Sigh…..
I thought “he” needed to be showcased in an OVAL framelit, both the plain, straight ovals and the scalloped. I tied the White thick twine around the dsp and there ya have it!
This was a very simple card to make I think you’d agree.
You could send this card or give this sweet card to someone special in person or SNAIL MAIL it!
I know my sweet husband, makes me very happy. Always and forever! He’s the BEST.
I hope you have a fabulous week ahead and I’ll see ya back here tomorrow! Any products you just love and “need” shop away in my online “shop!” Called “online shopping!” Can’t get more convenient than that! If you should EVER have any questions, just email, text or call! I’m here!
Have a great week everyone. Hugs always!
Thanks again for your visit and for checking out this adorable card.
From my Stampin’ heart to yours,

Trick OR Treat TIME! It’s just around the corner and you’re going to want to be ready to send out your best wishes for some fun HALLOWEEN tricks OR treats?? What’s up your sleeve when it comes to tricks or treats? Or Both?
Halloween is not an occasion that is shared by every ONE. For those of you that like to send out a wish or two for some Halloween gesture in snail mail, here’s one you might consider.
I used our all NEW Halloween stamp set which debuts to the whole world out there for purchase SEPTEMBER 1!! Can you just not wait to get your hands on all the goodness that is in our Fun, gorgeous Holiday Catalog?? Well, you only have to wait a few more days and you can have all your little heart and your budget allows! The new Holiday catalog will be right here at MyStampinHeart on September 1. All you do is click on the “Catalogs” link above in my Navigation bar menu and it will be there for you to drool over! It’s such a great one this year as always and you will not be disappointed, I promise you that. I keep my promises, too. 🙂
I used the Stamp Set called Spooky Fun! You will get an up close and personal look at in the products below, you will be able to order it on September 1, yes, that’s right. So always be sure to check it out at the end of my post, it will be available to order in 4 days! Side note of important information: When you click on any products at the end of my posts that you want to order, it will take you directly to my online store and you can order it right up! Pretty darn easy, but do let me know if you have any questions about ordering.
I used the patterned paper (dsp) from the Playful Palette 6 X 6 pack! There are many nice patterns in this great little pack, wow! Then I used the cute little witch and bat from the Spooky Fun stamp set and the splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge set. That Gorgeous Grunge set is great to have for your “splatters” and to give some background “noise!” ha!
I paired Basic Black with Pumpkin Pie (my fav at Thanksgiving! what’s yours?) and it’s a traditional Halloween palette of colors. Right?
Here’s a close up so you won’t need to go findin’ your spectacles to SEE it. You are very welcome.
The pumpkin, patterned paper, black layer and very vanilla layer are all popped up with those trusty little dimensional to give DIMENSION. I tied some orange and black twine (new in the Holiday catty) to give more Halloweeny color!
Get ready with your Wish List! You really should consider this adorable SPOOKY FUN set for your upcoming ghoulish wishes to all your peeps!
Be sure to come back tomorrow for more holiday creations to come!! Thanks for stopping by.
As always, let me know if you have any questions. I’ll get back in a Jif!
From my Stampin’ Heart to yours!
Take care,
Debbie

Happy Saturday to everyone! 🙂 I have some “thoughts for you” and here it is! I am getting the “Fall itch” and “needed” to get my Cajun Craze out because I just love this color for FALL! I wanted to create a little card for a “just because” to send because if you have family, friends or someone you find yourself thinking of, why not make up a “thoughtful” card like this and send to spread your “thoughts of them?”
There are so many Fall color combos in our Stampin’ Up! lineup, but here’s just one of thousands. The base is Very Vanilla because and the layers are Cajun Craze and Pear Pizazz. I chose Pear Pizazz because the leaves here are starting to “lighten up” a bit from their rich green Garden Green or Always Artichoke color. 🙂
I thought adding in a little “shiny” would give the card a little more “pizazz” if you know what I mean. 🙂 So I added our beautiful Gold paper and our oh so sparkly gold ribbon, (it”s about an 1/8″ wide) and to give a little more dimension, see the super thin gold thread? It did the trick! In keeping with a “Fall” look I had had had to add that rustic, vintage-Y BURLAP ribbon to ground the entirety of my design. I used the lovely Leaflets framelits and will be using those ALOT during the fall, if you don’t have them for your fall creations, please consider! You will enjoy them so much! Guranateed!!
Here’s a little close up to see the texture in the Embossing folder (it’s NEW!) called PETAL BURST! Isn’t it just perfect in every single little way for fall and for next SPRING,too! 🙂
I’m sending some “Thoughts for YOU” today and hope you have a wonderfully fun and relaxing weekend doing what you want to do!! See you back here soon and thanks so much for looking in!
Remember the Thoughtful Branches stamp set is ONLY AVAILABLE until AUGUST 31! It’s such a great and beautiful and versatile and lovely set…can you tell I love it? Good, you need it.
You can scoop up the products for today’s card below, just shop my ONLINE store and you could even shop THERE until you “drop!” If you have any questions or want me to place your order for you, just let me know, I’m happy to help.
Sending thoughts FOR YOU, from Stampin’ Heart to yours!
Debbie
