Springtime Scenes bundle meets Painted Illusions DSP

April 1, 2026

I had a play with the Springtime Scenes bundle and paired it with the pretty Painted Illusions designer paper.

My colors are Pretty in Pink, White & Lost Lagoon.
Measurements: Card base 4 1/4″ X 11″, DSP 1 3/4″ X 5 1/2″, White square 3 1/4″, Lost Lagoon square 3 1/2″

I started out with the large circle/leaf die-cut. I stamped the greeting inside the circle and then textured the White square with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder. Now I could add the circle, the flower – both from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. It was out of stock for awhile but it’s back now. So many neat die-cuts and the greetings are quite a good variety.

Next I adhered a strip of the Painted Illusions DSP (Product of the Month) to the card base and added two thin scraps of White CS diagonally. Because I had the large square and the DSP strip I felt it needed something without hard angles like the square/rectangle layers. This gives a bit of fun to the card.

Plenty of Patterns with new Tropical dies; video tutorial

December 23, 2021

This card in Pacific Point & White is so pretty! I shared how to make it on last week's FB Live.

The window frame is made with the Stitched Rectangle dies on a piece of White CS 4" X 5 1/4". The pretty die-cut leaf is from a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called Tropical Layer dies.

I used White Craft ink with the Plenty of Pattern masks seen here & below. I did not use a sponge; I pressed the ink pad directly onto & through the mask on a separate piece of Pacific Point CS. You can watch how it's done in the video here. It's the first project.

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set that coordinates with the Tropical Layer dies. It will be in a bundle at 10% off next year.

Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

December 22, 2021

Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here. I think it's super neat!

I explain how it's done in the video here. Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it. Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.

After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center. Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.

Below is the video with this project & lots more!

Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video

December 21, 2021
I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared. Follow me on Facebook here.

I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors. This first card is in Fresh Freesia.

I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.

The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS. The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice.

Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower.

Here's a photo of all 3 of them together. Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty!

And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color. The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
- White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4"
Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
