A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

August 27, 2020

I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. It fits in a 12" shadow box frame.

Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here.

Two tips!

The 'ground' image can also be clouds! Cool, right?
And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree. Just lower the image on the second stamping.

I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.

Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,

Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

May 4, 2026

I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?
