More Zinnias 


I hope everyone has taken a look at the over 20 new products that just debuted in the On-Line Exclusives. I have to say the Simply Zinnia bundle and suite of products are my favorite. I love the bright, fun colors and the Designer Series Paper is to die for! I am almost through my first packet and have even opened my second packet to get a few papers out of it. And the Adhesive-Backed Sequins complement the DSP beautifully. 

On March 23rd I will be hosting a Birthday Bash Buffet where participants will make at least 8 cards and they will be able to choose from at least 16 different cards to make and this will be one of them. If you are in Southern CA and want to come play with us, email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. And if you aren't local, you can order the PDF of all the cards for $25, but if you place an order with me for $35 I will send you a PDF with 8 cards worth of directions. If your order is at least $70 I will email you a PDF with directions for ALL the cards.

Let's make this card. Gather your materials

1. Lemon Lime Twist  cardstock—5 ½” by 8 ½” scored on the long side at 4 ¼”

2. Basic White cardstock –3 ¾” by 5” for the inside and a second piece 2 ¾” by 3 ¾”

3. Flowering Zinnias DSP—Melon Mambo piece is 4” by 5 ¼”, 2 zinnias fussy cut from the piece that has purple on the back

4. Stamp Set— So Sincere and Simply Zinnias

5. Ink—Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo

6. Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

7. Fun Patterns Embossing Folders—the flower one

If you want to watch me make this card, please watch my Facebook Live below and then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to join me for more card making fun! Or you can watch me on YouTube--both are at  Stamp with Dr Robin. 

Stamp the vertical Happy Birthday from So Sincere in Lemon Lime twist on the right side of the 2 ¾” by 3 ¾” piece of Basic White. Run it through with the flowered Fun Patterns Embossing Folder LEAVING THE SENTIMENT OUTSIDE THE EMBOSSING FOLDER.


Attach the larger (Melon Mambo) piece of DSP to the front of the card. Attach the embossed piece, using Dimensionals, to the lower right corner.

 Overlap then glue the 2 flowers together (unless you have one with the 2 flowers attached to each other). Attach the flowers to the white piece using Dimensionals.

 Use 2 of the sequins above and below the sentiment (any color would work).




 Stamp the inside sentiment using Lemon Lime Twist on the larger piece of Basic White, as well as a zinnia in Melon Mambo, and attach it to the inside of your folded card base.

A fun thing to do to make this card special is to run the flap of the envelope through your machine inside the embossing folder as in the picture at the top. Here is another view of the finished card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

These are a medium sized USPS Priority Mail box and they will be stuffed with product. Each box will include a minimum of 10 Stampin' Up stamps and at least 2 of them will be a bundle with either a die set or a punch. They will all have at least one retired embossing folder as well as embellishments and ribbon. You won't know what you are getting, so if you like surprises and getting over $250 worth of products for only $50, please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. If you don't recognize this Designer Series Paper or the sentiment and dies, it is because this is a sneak peak at the Something Fancy bundle from the upcoming Jan-April Mini Catalog that goes live next month.

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals. Last, but not least is Bonus Days--for every $50 you spend for the rest of July, you get a $5 coupon to use in August. Yay! Free stamping products!  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1.
