A WOW card with Swirled Designs

April 7, 2026

This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

May 5, 2023
I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator.

Here's one of my recent projects:

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace.

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge. It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed. Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

Measurements are:
- Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
- left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
- front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
- Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside) & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”

Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

May 4, 2023

During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

Save

This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it. I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp. I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.

I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Save

I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.

Which color is your favorite? From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.

See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video

May 3, 2023

On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up! It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. Here's one of them:

Save

It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….

Save

This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc. It's loaded!

Save

These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families. Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon. I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.

I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it. Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle. The circle also helps tone down the busy background.

Save

A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.

Save

I show how to make the scissors in the video. You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver. Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.

Save

For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer. Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us. The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like. They thought of everything on this set!!
