Birthday card ideas you’ll want to case! Free project sheet too

November 9, 2026

On last week’s video I shared two birthday card ideas I know you’ll want to copy/case.

Isn’t this a great idea?! To create the present, I cut a small square of DSP and wrapped ribbon around it with a few loops at the top.

I drew lines from the top of the present for the star die-cuts. The Shining Stars dies worked perfectly. These dies just sold out! They were the product of the month for October; I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did.

This card is a gatefold and the images are from the Candle Party stamp set seen here. It’s so cute! It does come with coordinating dies in the bundle seen here. My colors include Lemon Lime Twist with Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade. The Designer paper inside is the Timeless Christmas.

I used a white ribbon on the gift but colored it with my Poppy Parade Blends marker. Perfect match!
This is a special and unique birthday card anyone would love to receive!

I did create a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more fabulous idea using this stamp set and the Shining Stars dies.

Need cute but easy Scrapbook ideas? I’ve got you covered!

March 9, 2022
It's been awhile since I created scrapbook pages. I actually started out with scrapbooking before stamping.

I know some of my customers have been waiting for me to create a new bunch of scrapbook layouts. I thought the Pattern Party host designer paper was a perfect starting point. Then I added elements from the What a Year Memories & More card pack. Perfect match up! Look:

There are 6 fun, colorful double scrapbook layouts in this kit to go. (the white photo mats are where you photos will be)

Each layout includes two 12 X 12 pages featuring a variety of celebratory occasions. You have a choice of the PDF tutorial or a pre-cut kit to go.

Here's one of the striking layouts.

Pre-order this kit by March 17th and it will be mailed out at the end of March. The PDF tutorial is sent in an email immediately after payment.

The kit to go includes the following:
- 6 double layouts (12 pages) with pre-cut and punched pieces
- What a Year Memories & More card pack. You'll use these cards for titles, layers and other elements on your page layouts.
- the PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies list and tips on assembly

Wait; you can add one or both of my other kits to go this month. I have the Flowering Fields cards or the Waves of Inspiration cards. *see them below.

New Horizons scenic cards; a sure ‘wow’!

March 8, 2022
I've been sharing cards made on a recent Facebook Live featuring the New Horizons suite this week. You just cannot go wrong with these products! Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a FB live. Follow me on FB here so you don't miss anything.

Today's cards feature the On the Horizon bundle along with the beautiful New Horizon designer paper. Luckily this paper is in stock!

The only stamping on this card is the birds. I inked in Misty Moonlight ink and stamped off once before stamping on the designer paper scene. The paper provides the gorgeous background.

The card base is Garden Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4". The designer paper is 5 1/4" X 4".

The fence, grass, layered mountains and 'green hills' are all die-cut using the Horizon dies. These dies are currently unavailable but they should be back in stock next week. The 'blue' mountain was cut from a leftover strip of the designer paper and the detailed mountain was cut from White CS.

I decided to try a vertical card as well using this same sheet of New Horizons Designer Paper. This time the card base is Blackberry Bliss cut at 4 1/4" X 11". There are so many colors in this paper; many will work easily.

Details for both cards:
- See the On the Horizon's bundle here.
- The New Horizon's designer series paper is seen here.
- the pebbles enamel shapes are also currently unavailable. They should be back in stock later in March.
- The fence, grass, mountains, hills are all from the Horizon dies.

I shared these fancy fold cards on a recent FB live and thought you'd like to see them too. I used the gorgeous New Horizons designer paper seen here.

It's a unique side-step card. This one is a vertical layout. See the horizontal layout below. My stamps include the On the Horizon bundle and Let's Sail bundle. See those neat 'pebbles' I added to the bottom? Those are in the 2022 January-June catalog but are currently out of stock. They'll be back at the end of March.
