3 Fun Card Ideas with Stampin’ Up!’s Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP: Weekly Class To Go

Happy mail is having a bit of a moment around here—and I’m completely okay with that! 😊

This week’s projects are a collection of coordinating cards featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Extraordinary Life Bundle. We’re creating one fun fold card, one full-sized card, and two sweet little note cards that are perfect for tucking into a gift or sending just because. I just love the bright & cheerful colours mixed with the black-and-white patterns.

These cards were also designed to coordinate with my Happy Mail Organizer we’ll be making in my July Stamp & Create Class. You can add them to the organizer to create one complete set, or use the card ideas on their own whenever you want to send a little happiness through the mail.

You can find photos and details for all the projects below, along with the replay of my YouTube Live so you can craft along with me!

Card 1:

Of course, I had to include a fun fold in this week’s projects! This design gives you a few extra places to feature the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and play with the mix of colourful and black-and-white patterns.

• When you’re combining several DSP patterns on one project, try choosing one colourful pattern to be the star and then use the black-and-white designs as supporting pieces.

• All the cute Extraordinary Life Dies are perfect for layering in on your cards. I love the itty bitty banner!

Card 2:

For the second card, I kept the fold more traditional but continued the layered, mix-and-match look.

• Don't forget to layer up your favourite shapes with your sentiment to create a fun focal point.

• And there 's always a way to fit in a little pocket for a gift card!

Card 3:

Sometimes you don’t need a full-sized card—a sweet little note is just right!

These two mini note cards are perfect for tucking into a gift, adding to a lunch bag, attaching to a bouquet, or leaving somewhere for someone to find. They’re also a fun way to use smaller pieces of Designer Series Paper and those cute little shapes included in the Extraordinary Life Dies.

I made two different designs to give you a few ideas for mixing the patterns and layers, but you could easily make a whole stack of these to keep inside your Happy Mail Organizer.
