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!

• Double Flap fold with Branching Out with video & free project sheet

  September 15, 2025

  I shared this card on last week’s Live:

  Save

  It features the new Branching Out bundle from the 2025 Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! See the bundle here.

  Save

  My colors include Early Espresso with Old Olive, Pecan Pie & White.

  Save

  It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.

  The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.

• Autumn Garland Kit

  September 14, 2025

  I love this autumn garland kit!  I made it for my open house display and am in love! 

  Save

  I’ll show my own photos soon but wanted to share the video for it here.  It took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes to make and it’s huge & gorgeous!  I had many extra leaves left. The copper leaves and acorns add beautiful accents.  

  It comes with everything you need but hot glue.

  You can see it online here.

  Saturday I held my new catalog launch party & open house.  I had a wonderful turnout!  Best thing was how much they loved the new products I displayed.  Here are some photos of my projects and swap cards:

  I loved playing with the new Joyful Days Memory & More cards. Such pretty pine themed cards!

  I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my new Holiday displays.  I love holding these open houses because I get to see customers & friends I don’t see regularly.  And I get to cook for them too, which I totally enjoy!
