3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!  

This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello.  I love both the stamps and the DSP.  The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching!

Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

Details:

• The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die. 
• That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.  
• The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set. 

Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.  

Save

She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece.  She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.  

Lastly today is another card I made for a swap.  I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso.  I've always loved these colors together.  I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!  

Save

I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner.  I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.  

Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today!  If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it.  It's free with any $100 purchase right now!

• An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

  December 1, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

  Save

  Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

  Save

  I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
  My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

  There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

  Save

  What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

  I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

  I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

  You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!

  November 28, 2025

  ---

  I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

  I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

  Save

  There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
  First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

  Save

  It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
  – Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
  – Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
  – Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″
