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

Greenery Lane card with the new Washi Tape

February 26, 2026

I was playing around with the Greenery Lane bundle and the new coordinating Washi Tape and created this card:

Save

My colors are Garden Green with White; simple. I adhered the Washi Tape to a piece of White CS and then cut one piece into a large circle and used the coordinating dies to cut four of the leaves. You can see the bundle here and below.

Save

The Greenery Lane Washi tape coordinates with many of the dies in the bundle. It’s so pretty in shades of green. See it online here.

Save

I also used the Nested Essential dies for the greeting, the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Textured Notes dies (unavailable right now but on the Last Chance list).

Save

If you look at my greeting ‘hugs’ you’ll notice it’s not alone. I carefully inked just the ‘hugs’ with my ink pad since I wanted a short greeting.
I hope you like it and are inspired by product and the layout.

Great way to use the Extraordinary Washi Tape with video

February 23, 2026

We made this beautiful card at my February card clubs. It features the Extraordinary Washi Tape from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

Save

Aren’t they pretty? And because the washi tape includes two color combinations (all in one roll) I was able to offer two choices of colors. You can see this pretty Washi tape here.

Save

It also has a stamp & die bundle that matches it perfectly. I used only the single die seen here. What I love about this die is it cuts out all of one huge panel of flowers/leaves all at once! It’s a most amazing product, (well named) and incredible that you get 16 gorgeous flowers cut all at once!

Save

That neat embossing folder on the large Vanilla is called Beautiful Pattern and can be seen here.

Save

My colors include Old Olive and Very Vanilla, plus Calypso Coral with Petal Pink and Berry Burst with Fresh Freesia. We wrapped Old Olive twine around the Vanilla layer twice and tied it into a bow to anchor the flowers & greeting.

The other bundle I used is the Words of Beauty seen here. So many possibilities for greetings in this one.

Save

A few other dies used here are theTextured Notes dies seen here (which are retiring but unavailable right now) and the Label Me Grateful dies which just retired.

I also used the ‘With You in Mind’ stamp set for the inside: A thin 1/4″ strip of matching CS finished it off nicely.

Save

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on using these products and finishing the card. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there!
