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.

Sending Smiles card; a fabulous & versatile bundle with video

May 18, 2022

I made a bunch of these cards for a swap in April and also demonstrated it on FB Live last Tuesday here.

I LOVE the colors of Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis together. This new lime color of Parakeet Party brightens up our color line and it works with blues & purples beautifully!

The Sending Smiles bundle seen here is wonderful and was #1 on my list of 'must have's'.

I made three projects on last week's Facebook Live using this fabulous bundle. See it here.

I love the fact that they provided two sizes of the die-cut 'Sending'. The larger one fits under the finer die-cut like seen on the card below. But it also fits the stamped greeting image too. So smart!

You can create a variety of flowers with this bundle as you can see. This flower can be falling like wisteria or growing up like these here; they remind me of grape hyacinth.

Click here or on the photo below to watch the video for this card and TWO MORE as well.

Unique diagonal card layout using your Designer Paper

May 17, 2022
I've made a few of these cards lately; I just love the diagonal layout and how easy it is to stamp your greeting directly on the White layer.

It's made with the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer paper seen here. It's been my top seller this month! So far it's not on the low inventory list but I fear it will be the way it's going!

I cut some of these flowers directly from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness dies; they match up perfectly to many of the flowers in the paper.

I made a bunch of these cards for swaps in May in both colors seen below. This way I could use two different sheets of paper since they provided flowers in many hues.

Tip: The nice thing about this layout is that you don't have to measure your diagonal cut on the White CS perfectly. Mine are about 3/4" from the lower left and the upper right.

The Melon Mambo card on the upper left is part of my Hues of Happiness card kit to go seen below. You get 1/2 pkg of this pretty DSP, a share of ribbon and Glossy dot gems in the kit for $28 plus shipping. Tomorrow (May 18th) is the last day to opt in for this pre-cut kit to go. See details on it here.

I used the Happiness Abounds bundle for these cards. See that here.

This card below is made with Fresh Freesia as it's card base. There are a nice variety of colors in this designer paper; so many card stock & ink colors will work with it.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
- White front 5” X 2 ¾” cut in half about 3/4" from the lower left and upper right
- DSP – 5” X 2 ¾”

Sweet Songbirds bundle with our newest Stampin’ Up! In Colors

May 16, 2022

For my In Color display board I made these 5 cards with the new Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle.

These colors are so vibrant and striking; they are a wonderful addition to our Stampin' Up! color line.

I used this sketch for inspiration. I find card sketches can be one of the easiest ways to create and design a card.

The squares of In Color Designer Paper are 2 1/4" and the White layers are 2 1/2". The greeting strips are 5/8" X 4 1/4".

The sweet birds are stamped in each In Color and punched out with the Bird punch. I punched the wings from our In Color Glimmer Ombre paper.
