The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo

June 13, 2025

I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.

The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock. See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.

My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!

This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images.

Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold? Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.

Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out.

Check out the confetti on the frosting. I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!

I thought I'd share the event we held on December 16th. My local friends and I held a big fundraising Holiday Bazaar to benefit a few local non-profit organizations.

Save

It was held at our church and as you can see it was jam packed with fabulous handmade crafts & goodies. We offered tons of crafts, gifts, handmade cards, baked & home-canned goods, cookie trays & more. Plus we had a silent auction, vendors and lunch!

It was a great success as we raised over $3200 for our charities! It was a fun-filled day and the time & effort was well worth it to support our local non-profits.

NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial

December 28, 2023
I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them.

Save

It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th. The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White.

There's a few special details I'd like to point out:
1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.
3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here. You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.
Here's a close-up of this technique.

I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out:

I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!
