A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

September 22, 2025

I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

Textured Notes & Botanical Textures fun fold card with video tutorial

April 14, 2025

I shared this fun fold card on last week's video. We also made it at my Team meeting in March.

Save

The back of the card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the center is an accordion style fold that shows off your designer paper.

I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder on the Azure Afternoon layer – it's on the Last Chance list here.

The stamp set is the Textured Notes and the DSP is the Botanical Textures. If you follow me you'll realize I cannot get enough of both of these products!

Here's the view with the card opened:

New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch

April 10, 2025

Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!

Save

I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too! My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.

This layout was inspired by the following sketch. I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration. I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly!

I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch. See it here.

Save

As you can see I did not follow it exactly. My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3". The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.

The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set. One of my new favorite greeting sets. You're going to love it!

I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.

I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop. They're filled with wood accents and textures.

I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.

It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down.

Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April.

Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!
