New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees

January 5, 2026

Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Feels Like Frost Fun Fold card

October 9, 2020
Check out this beautiful fun fold card made by Annette for our Team swap in September! Our theme was fun fold cards featuring products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.

She featured the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Life is Beautiful stamp set. This design is perfect for designer paper with a scene or large pattern.

I like the tag with the pretty Metallic Mesh ribbon. That ribbon is so soft and it's in 1 1/2" wide but can easily be cut in sections without fraying!

Measurements:
- Navy card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", tag is 1 1/4" X 3 3/4"
- Designer paper from left to right – 5 1/4" X 2 3/4", 5 1/4" X 1 1/8" and lastly on the right is 5 1/4" X 2"
- Whisper White 5 1/5" X 1 3/4", tag is 1" X 3"
More Flowerbug Team swaps next week!

Christmas Cards kit to go; all Fun-fold cards! Opt in by the 20th!

October 8, 2020
Yesterday I shared the Plaid Tidings cards kit and today I'm sharing my 2nd cards kit to go (I cannot seem to do just one; there's too many fabulous products!).

I chose to feature the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper seen below. It includes a variety of tiny patterns of plaid, stripes, dots, and more in traditional Red's and Green's. I especially like the gingham and stripes. Oh and the polka dots too!

Look at these cards! Each one is a unique fun-fold card which is a delight for the recipient. They're creative & fun but not too difficult for a non-stamper to figure out either. They include latch folds, pocket, flip, easel cards & more!

This pre-cut kit includes $20 in current Stampin' Up! product, all for just $28! Yes; you're getting the 10 cards for just a few dollars when you add in tax & shipping.

In your kit to go you'll receive:
- 1/2 package of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
- 3/8" Red double stitched satin ribbon
- Red Rhinestone jewels
- the free pdf tutorial for all 10 cards (valued at $15)
This pdf written tutorial is available separately at my Tutorial shop here. It includes step by step directions, measurements, a supplies list and photos.

I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set on all 10 cards; it's a fabulous holiday set and coordinates with the Warm Wrap dies.
- You have three choices for this cards kit but there's just one left right now. See two here.
  - Cards kit & tutorial – $28 (plus $8 Priority Shipping)
  - PDF Tutorial only $15
I have two card kits available in October. You can see the other option here.
