Cutest Crew Club card; quick & cute! Free project sheet too

May 11, 2026

This is one of the cards we made at my April card clubs; it features the Cutest Crew bundle.

The Cutest Crew bundle (seen here) has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! The dies were available last week but now they’re gone again. They should be back the week of May 18th though. Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get a notification as to when they’re available.

My colors are Coastal Cabana with White, Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake. I used the Hobby Haven and Wood Grain Wonders designer papers on my card. Here’s the cat version:

I colored the critters in with Blends markers; stamping the images with Black Memento ink. The stitched die is from the Nested Essential dies seen here; one of my favorites.

I stamped the paw prints image repeatedly in the inside and added one of the pet die-cuts.

Which is your favorite?

I shared a video last week on Facebook and it’s now uploaded to my YouTube Channel. Plus you can access the free project sheet here.

Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

February 22, 2021

Get inspired by sketches! You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest. Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with.

I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge. I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC. Here's the one we did last week:

And here's the card I came up with.

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March. It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle. The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May. But they're releasing it early in March!

Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.

Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!

February 19, 2021

Have you made an origami folded window? They're so easy to do! I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

How does 'Stamp with Me' work? I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces. You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!

You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper. I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner. Draw a line. Do the same once more on the other corners. This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to. Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!

It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square. If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square.

The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle. It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th. If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.

Here's the link to this video.

Seashells fun fold card; wow!

February 18, 2021
Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea! She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper. This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4"
- Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
- Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4"
*Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down! You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order. And then get 20% off all further purchases! Details in this post or click here.

Today's the last day to get in on my Sand & Sea cards kit to go. Click here to get the kit or the tutorial.
