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


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.

  • Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards


    I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!  

    You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

    Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

    I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper.  It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers.  Did you know it's on sale right now?  It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now?  It's on the Last Chance list here.  There are so many amazing deals right now! 

    Follow your art all

    I'll show you each set of cards separately.  First up is Layout 1.  It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.   

    Follow your art all

    Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card.  You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

    Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right. 

    Follow your art all

    I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging.  I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins.  They are both on sale too! 

    Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here.  I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….

  • Country Club Designer Paper; make a card with NO stamping!


    I have some friends who are seriously into golfing!  They golf almost daily in Arizona.  So I knew I had to send her some cards made with this Country Club designer series paper.  

    Once I had it in hand I realized that one whole sheet has golf images on it!  In fact you can get 12 cards from one sheet!  Look!

    Clubhouse 3

    I cut the image to 2 3/4" X  3 3/4" and colored it in with Blends markers.  Just like a coloring book!  Next I added a layer of card stock to it. Then added it to a piece of the Country Club designer paper along with a 1 1/4" strip of card stock.  Easy peasy!

  • Easy Country Club Fun Fold card


    At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf.  But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that!  It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!  

    Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April.  It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper. 

    Clubhouse birthday cards

    The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece.  Here are the measurements:

    • Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
    • Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"

    I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings.  I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.  

    Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used.  You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

    I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.
