On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful. 

Save

I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful. 

Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here. 

Here's the inside view:

You might wonder just how I achieved the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the card. Watch the video here. 

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!

• Cool Black Magic technique with a free project sheet and video tutorial!

  August 4, 2025

  ---

  Oh my gosh, this Black Magic technique is super neat!  Look at these colorful cards!

  Save

  What's the Black Magic technique?  It's where you heat emboss on Black card stock with White embossing powder and color onto the embossing with Blends markers.  So easy and a great way to add color to your embossed image. The Layered Thoughts stamp set is perfect for this fun technique. See it here. 

  Save

  I also used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper seen here and the coordinating Cheers & Sips stamp set for the inside images.

• An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey

  July 30, 2025

  ---

  Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available. 

  Save

  I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base. 

  You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this: 

  Save

  Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above.  Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area.  Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.  

  Save

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Print or download it by clicking on this link: Download Prairie Grass scene

  And here’s the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.
