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!

• Berry Delightful Fun Fold cards with video

  February 2, 2021

  ---

  Here are the cards we made at my January Card Clubs featuring the Berry Delightful bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Everyone loved how easy this fold is!

  I gave them the choice of either blueberry or raspberry cards; this stamp set and designer paper work beautifully with both!  It also pairs fabulously with the Sweet Strawberry bundle too! 

  I used Rich Razzleberry & Pacific Point card stock and ink on these cards; plus some Garden Green ink.  

  Check it out here on the Sale-a-Bration choices; the Designer paper and stamp set are FREE with a $100 order while supplies last.

  And remember that those who order this bundle from me get a free 10 cards pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!!  I have a few left.

  And it uses your card stock efficiently too! Measurements are below.

• Darling Donkey’s Birthday card

  January 29, 2021

  ---

  The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now.  So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January.  We made this cute but easy card: 

  Save

  The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black.  That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February.  See it here. 

  Save

  Both are free with any $50 order!  I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.  

  Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!  

  Save

  Save

  The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here.  It has lots of fun birthday greetings!

  You can watch the video for this quick card below.

  Measurements:

  • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
  • Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
  • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4" 

  I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent.  I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.
