I made this card back in April for my Project Playback video series -- where I remake card designs using new products. This card uses the new Sweet Songbirds punch bundle and features some of the new 2022-2024 In Colors: Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, and Sweet Sorbet.
There are so many layers to this card and an opportunity to show off almost all of the images in this fun stamp set.

Stampin' Up! catalogs include hundreds of project ideas to inspire your creativity and papercrafting. I love looking to the catalog for card ideas. Sometimes I copy these ideas exactly and something I make changes. We call this CASEing. CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything -- or I prefer -- Copy And Selectively Edit.
For last week's Thursday Night Stamp Therapy, I flagged three different ideas from the catalog to CASE. Mostly, I focused on card layouts (although you can also be inspired by technique and color combination). Here are the card that I made.
Here is the original project inspiration from page 73 of the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog. I changed up the colors, but kept everything else the same.
Here are the card measurements I used for my version of the Christmas Lights card:
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Evening Evergreen Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4"
3-3/4" x 4-1/2" Lights Aglow Designer Paper
3-3/4" x 4-1/2" Gold Foil Cardstock
2-3/4" x 4-1/2" Evening Evergreen Cardstock (to die cut)
Merry Christmas is from Santa Express Memories & More Pack
When I CASEd the Perched in a Tree card, I kept everything the same except the cardstock I used for the sentiment. I changed from Crumb Cake to Smoky Slate.
Here is the original card from page 46 of the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.
Here the are the measurements I used for my version of the Perched in a Tree Card:
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Thick Basic White Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4"
4" x 5-1/4" Basic White Cardstock
4" x 5-1/4" Splendid Day Designer Paper
1-1/8" x 3" Smoky Slate Cardstock
2-3/4" x 4" Distressed Gold Paper (to die cut)
2-3/4" x 4" Pool Party Cardstock (to die cut)
This last card might be my favorite! I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set to CASE the Apple Harvest card on page 54. To get multiple colors on the leaf images, I inked it in Pumpkin Pie and then "rolled" the inked stamp over the Cajun Craze ink. (Watch the video below to see this technique in action!)
Here is the original card. I used an embossing folder instead of stamping the image tone-on-tone for the background piece.
I had to guess on the measurements when I CASEd this layout. Here are the cardstock pieces I used:
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4"
2" x 4-1/2" Designer Paper
3-1/4" x 4" Pale Papaya Cardstock, embossed
2-1/2" x 2-1/2" Circle
5/8" x 1-1/2" Pumpkin Pie Cardstock

I first made this pop up card back in February after receiving a swap from Annette Crocetti. (See my original card.) I made a new version featuring the Sale-a-Bration Wonderful World bundle to send to my mom for her birthday last month. This card is so fun to open with a pop up surprise, but it's not as hard as you might think! Be sure to watch the video tutorial below so you can follow along and make your own pop up card at home!
I kept the front clean and simple and let the beautiful Wonderful World designer paper be the star of the show! This pattern is my favorite! I especially love the colors!

The Tress for Sale stamp set is back in stock! Right after Mom and I featured this new stamp set and the coordinating dies in our Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie video earlier this month, the stamp set was temporarily sold out! Good news if you've been waiting -- the stamp set is back!
Here is the card that I created for that Sunday Stamping video. I wanted to combine both the stamp images the the dies to show the versatility of this duo!
I used the Decorative Circle Punch to create a window in the front of the card that shows the images stamped inside. Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping for some times on lining things up -- and see more card ideas using the Trees for Sale stamp and Tree Lot Dies.
