Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! One of the new items in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs and I decided to use the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to make a birthday card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a fun theme challenge this week:

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the diamond from the Fun Patterns embossing folders. I adhered it to a Basic White mat with liquid glue and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Crumb Cake Card base.

I adhered the balloons from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack to the card with glue dots and popped the party cat and dog on the card with dimensionals.

I adhered the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack to the card with glue dots along with three hearts. I finished the card with three iridescent faceted gems.

For the Inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I decorated it with more cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack – the banner, cake and another heart. And I finished with a sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. I love how it all coordinates!

The Stampin’ Up! Something For Everything ephemera pack is truly that, with cutouts covering several themes and occasions. These new products are so versatile – you can mix the elements from different packs since they all coordinate (like I did with my sentiments). You can mix them with stamped sentiments or images or other DSP. And they are perfect for quick and easy cards.

Stampin’ Up! December Paper Pumpkin Kit – Something for Everything

Good Morning! Today I am sharing another Paper Pumpkin Kit video that I did yesterday during my Sunday Facebook Live session. This is a wonderful Paper Pumpkin kit that has lots of short sentiments for different occasions in a large typewriter style font – so it’s great to use for masculine cards as well.

These are the cards that I have made with the kit so far. I have only used a few of the sentiments so far.

Here’s the Facebook Live video where I put together some of my cards:

I also posted the video to my YouTube channel and you can view it here.

I basically made one of each card pretty much following the main instructions. I did not go wild with creating something completely different because the cards in the kit are pretty nice as designed.

Plus the elements in the kit can be mixed up with each other nicely – and there are lots of extra pieces for making additional coordinating cards. I did choose to stamp some of the sentiments in Shaded Spruce ink which I had in my stash and I used some Grapefruit Grove twine from the Nature’s twine pack on one of my samples.

If you’d like to see the video that Paper Pumpkin put together to show how to make the Something For Everything kit, you can view it here. And here are some alternatives that Paper Pumpkin put together:

And did you know that you can download stamp case inserts for your Paper Pumpkin kits? Check them out at the bottom of the page here. I think these sentiments are going to be used over and over, so I will download the case insert and store them in their own case with the rest of my Stampin’ Up! stamps.
