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.

Framed & Festive for an easy Christmas card

November 10, 2022
I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live video. I LOVE this pretty DSP.

For this card I colored the white berries on the DSP Red with a Blends marker. You can change the color of these berries so easily! They could be pink for a birthday card or red for Christmas.

The greeting is from the Framed & Festive stamp set seen here; available through early January or while supplies last.

I love this card layout because of it's simplicity. It has a textured layer, a layered piece of designer paper, ribbon and a punched greeting. Everything most of us want to add to our cards. Here are the measurements, in the photo below.

The greeting punch is the Decorative Circle punch from the Annual Catalog.

This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last. It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea

November 8, 2022
And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos. But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer. I hope Typepad figures this out soon!

This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products.

The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White. The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.

The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.

In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here. This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last. It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

You can see all of these new products here.
