Cutest Crew card swap

March 26, 2026

Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?

As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.

This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.

The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.

I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.

Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.

Quick cards with just ONE sheet of the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper!

May 16, 2023

The Fresh as a Daisy designer paper seen here is filled with pretty daisy prints and soft washes of colors – many are our newest In Colors and Core colors!

Here are the 4 cards I made from just one sheet!

This one sheet has a bunch of printed, blocked patterns ready to make fast cards with.

One of my favorites is this one; featuring a pretty bouquet of white daisies on our new Bubble Bath pink color.

I added a strip of White card stock below, ribbon, a greeting and a pretty foliage die-cut which are both from the Cheerful Daisies bundle.

I LOVE this one! Again, white daisies on a washed background. I paired this piece over a strip of Early Espresso cardstock on a Lemon Lolly card base. I heat embossed the greeting in White on the die-cut in the Cheerful Daisies bundle. White twine finished it off!

What a gorgeous scenic background this is! I dd nothing to it but stamp the stems & leaves and added the die-cut daisies, greeting and gems. The colors are Copper Clay with Crushed Curry.

Lastly is this pretty triple-panel card in Azure Afternoon with Copper Clay. I cut the daisy panel into three pieces measuring 1 5/8" X 4" tall.

Again I heat embossed the greeting in White embossing powder onto a piece of Copper Clay card stock. I added a die-cut daisy to the side.

I'm featuring this pretty paper in one of my May card kits to go. I have a limited supply of them so grab yours while you can. See it here.

Which one of these is your favorite?

Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!

May 15, 2023

This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not!

Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors. Love this paper!

If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.

I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake. Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer. So cool!

And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed.

I have enjoyed playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle this month. You cannot go wrong with balloons; they're great for birthday's, graduations, weddings or any celebratory event.

You can see this bundle here online.

Click here or on the photo below to watch how it's made.

Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

May 12, 2023
This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too!

I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies. The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies. You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down.

You can see this bundle here online.

I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

Here's what the card looks when it's flat:

I am so glad that we have Berry Burst back!

Measurements:
- Berry Burst 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”, 2^nd piece 4 ¼” square
- Misty Moonlight 3 ¼” square & 1” X 4”
- DSP 3” and ¾” X 3 ¾”
- white 4” square
You can see the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper here.

*I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in June's card kit to go.

Click on the photo below to watch the video; I share another amazing fun fold card after this project!
