Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

How to get more use of your Fragrant Forest stamp; cut it up!

December 12, 2023

I shared this pretty card in last week's Live video. I featured the Fragrant Forest background stamp set seen here in all 3 projects.

Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now. But the stamp set is still available.

I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut.

The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White. The lower strip for the greeting is torn.

I created a free project sheet for this card; click on this link to see it. Download Fragrant Forest & Beary Cute card *subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a thing and can access all of my project sheets in one place!

Are you wondering how I achieved the inside trees image without inking the entire stamp? Here's how!

I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers. It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'. I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought. It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!

Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block. It just makes sense! I encourage you to try it.
