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.

Want to make a Bay Window card? It’s easy! Stamp with Me Live tonight at 7:30 pm CT!

July 12, 2021
Tonight on my Stamp with Me Live we're making 'Bay Window' cards. These are so fun and actually quite simple to make. Scroll down to see the measurements.

You can watch the video here on my Facebook page. If you're not on FB you can see it later when I upload it to my YouTube channel here. *Don't forget to follow me!

It starts out with a standard 4 1/4" X 11" piece of card stock. Add some scored lines and designer paper and you're halfway there!

For this first example I chose to use the Plentiful Plants bundle. The Bloom Where You're Planted designer paper is on sale in July. You can see it here.

I used the Everyday Label punch for the greetings here. There's an easy way to create a curved edge and a perfect layer. Watch tonight to see how.

Here's the second version I made with the Beauty of the Earth designer paper. It's also on sale too!

I used the same stamp set; Plentiful Plants for the greeting. I did add a few pieces of the In Good Taste DSP here for the wood paper. It works so well for nature themed cards.

Here's the video!

Bay Window Cards Measurements:
- Card base – 4 1/4" x 11". Score on long side at 3/8", 1 7/8", 3 5/8", 5 1/8", 5 1/2"

Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!

July 9, 2021

I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video. I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos. You can see this paper here.

I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like. Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper. I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here. The flowers are colored in with Blends markers.

Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!

And next are all of the vertical cards. I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both! Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones. So easy!

The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically! I love the versatility of this design! This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side. The reverse is all black & white patterns.

The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set. The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3".

Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout! Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better.

Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP. It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more! And the more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!
