2 card ideas with Cradled in Love – a sweet set that’s free during Sale-a-Bration

One of the free stamp set choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog is the Cradled in Love set.  A sweet group of stamps perfect for baby cards.  See this stamp set here. 

Here's a quick card I created for my Open House boards:

My colors include Flirty Flamingo, White & Smoky Slate.  That large die-cut is from our new Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

Save

I paired it with the new Most Adored specialty designer paper – another free option during Sale-a-Bration this year. I added a 2" wide strip under the main element diagonally. 

Both the stamp set and paper are available through February or while supplies last.  See this pretty paper here.  It's filled with gold foil designs on one side and Flirty Flamingo & Real Red on the other.

This photo does not show it well at all.  The colors are rich and gorgeous!

Below is a super cute swap card I received from my friend Amy Storrie.  

Save

She used the Lighter Than Air designer paper, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Gray and White. That adorable scalloped border from the Basic Borders dies adds so much!  I just love it!

• Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet

  August 3, 2026

  ---

  This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.

  Save

  It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!

  I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.

  Save

  Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.

  Save

  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.

  The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

• Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

  July 31, 2026

  ---

  If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

  Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

  In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

  Save

  This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!
