Today’s card is a French thank you card created with the beautiful Parisian Beauty Bundle! For me this is a “clean and simple card” because there are very few layers and the card has a clean look.
This card uses quite a few products from the beautiful Parisian Blossoms Suite on pages14-17 of the 2020 Mini Catalog. The base of the card is made of Petal Pink card stock. The background panel is a piece of the beautiful Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper (ooh-la-la!).
You may notice that I’ve used several different backgrounds for today’s photographs. I’m experimenting and trying out backgrounds. Some colors, like today’s Petal Pink, look better on different backgrounds. I was trying to get the gorgeous pinky-peach color to show up clearly, so I tried several different backgrounds. Which do you like best for this card?
When I was in college I took a lot of French, but today I can hardly remember a word 🙁 But, I do remember “merci”! I just love the word dies, they are what I like to call “an automatic sentiment”! And, this bundle has the prettiest stamp and die for the Eiffel Tower! I’ve heat embossed it with white embossing powder on vellum card stock and cut it out with the die. I think it really makes a statement all by itself.

Hi Friends! Today is my Facebook Friday, the day I show you how to make a card on Facebook Live! This week I’m going to show you how to create this thank you card using the So Sentimental Bundle in the Stampin’ Up! 2020 Mini Catalog.
In case you’ve never joined me for Facebook Live, I go live every week on Friday at 4:00 pm PDT on my Pretty Paper Cards Facebook Page. Everyone is welcome to join! If you were unable to join me live, here is the uploaded recording.
Today’s card was made with the So Sentimental Bundle. It is such a great bundle. You can use it on SO MANY projects! Any background will work. Just add the sentiment and the two label dies and you have a beautiful card!
This card uses Pretty Peacock card stock and Seaside Spray card stock. They are two of the 2019-2021 In Colors and they go together beautifully!
Along with these two beautiful card stocks, I’ve added a piece of the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper which is FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order.
For example, the So Sentimental Bundle is $48.50. Add the Metallic Pearls to your order for $7, that’s a total of $55.50. And you will be able to order the Golden Honey paper for FREE! All these items are shown at the end of this post.
The picture above shows you more ways to use the fabulous Stitched So Sweetly Dies that are part of this bundle! I just love the shape of the label dies!
How do you get your ideas of what cards to create? Well sometimes I get my ideas from the fabulous Stampin’ Up! catalogs. There are so many gorgeous cards in the catalogs. In fact, that’s how I decided to create today’s tag! On page 26 of the new 2020 Mini Catalog you will see a banner with a cute tag at the far right. I
During my Facebook Live last Friday afternoon, I showed how to create this tag, and I showed how you can use it to create a pretty card!
This is definitely a “must have” bundle ~ you will LOVE it! Click on the graphic below to order:
I actually put these tags on my paper shares that I sent out this past weekend. Here is a photo of some of them along with the card I made.
For the card, start with a Whisper White card base. Then add a 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White panel stamped lightly with the larger dotted stamp in the set and Mossy Meadow ink; adhere it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut a panel of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper at 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2,” adhere also with Dimensionals.
Cut a panel of Calypso Coral card stock at 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and run it through a Big Shot with the Scripty Embossing Folder. Adhere as shown with Dimensionals. Adhere the tag, also with Dimensionals.
And don’t forget, if you order this Bundle, you can choose a FREE GIFT from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog below! Take advantage of this great promotion while you can!

I have to tell you, while I was making this card today I was so engrossed and not paying attention to my little dog, Elie. I heard some noise but thought it was my husband. When I finished the card I went to see what she was doing and…here’s what I found.
I mean, look how cute she is! She found a flyer (I must have left it on the floor?) and she shredded it to bits! I know, she wanted my attention 🙂 She got lots of hugs and no punishment.
Happy New Year Friends! It’s fun to welcome a brand new year, and especially when we have brand new products to use!!! The 2020 Mini Catalog goes live tomorrow ~ yippee! It has so many beautiful stamp sets and papers and ribbons ~ I just cam’t wait until you can experience them for yourself! So, get ready for tomorrow!

Now, back to the 2020 Mini Catalog which is available starting tomorrow. It was previously called the “Occasions Catalog” but now we will refer to it as the Mini Catalog. It has stamp sets and great products for Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, Easter, Father’s Day, all of the holidays that come around during the first half of the year. And, IT ALL STARTS TOMORROW!!
One of the big suites in the new Mini Catalog is the Peaceful Poppies Suite. To give you a little preview today, I’ve used the Painted Poppies stamp set to watercolor a pretty thank you card. The sentiment is from the coordinating Peaceful Moments stamp set. There is SO much in this suite…2 stamp sets, 2 sets of coordinating dies, ribbon, sequins, etc.!!
Here I’ve stamped and heat embossed on both the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and on Vellum. I’ve watercolored both and used the dies to cut the leaves and flowers and layer them on the watercolor background. This is just the smallest bit of what you can do with these gorgeous products.

Today’s cards are classic with the black and white buffalo checks. Buffalo checks are SO popular right now, and Stampin’ Up! has got you covered. The Buffalo Check Stamp is a wonderful background stamp and it gives you the freedom to create the checks in any color you like! Buffalo checks are a great background for almost anything else you want to do!
For this card, begin with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Whisper White card base, scored at 4-1/4.” Stamp a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White card stock with the Buffalo Stamp and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Tie some Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the Buffalo Check piece and tie on the front in a pretty bow.
Today I’m using an image from the Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper. It looks like a bouquet of roses! The cluster of roses was fussy cut using Paper Snips and raised up on Stampin’ Dimensionals above a piece of Vellum punched out with the Starburst Punch.
The “Thank You” sentiment is from the Parcels & Petals Cling Stamp Set. Stamp in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Two new Gold Glitter Enamel Dots were added for a bit of bling! 🙂
