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.

• Celebratory Sips card kit to go with PDF tutorial option & exclusive video!

  June 6, 2025

  ---

  Here's my newest pre-cut card kit to go – featuring the Celebratory Sips designer series paper.  I love that this paper is so unique; something we haven't had before. 

  

  There are 10 cards in this kit; most are fun fold layouts too.  This paper was super fun to play with.  I love how the cards turned out!  

  The kit includes 1/2 pkg of the Celebratory Sips DSP (6" X 12), a share of both 1/8" gold trim and Low-profile gems.  Plus you get the pdf tutorial free!  It also includes an exclusive video tutorial. 

  This kit will be ailed out at the end of June;  reserve your Celebratory Sips pre-cut card kit to go here.  

  Or choose the PDF tutorial here for $16. 

  

  I also added two other new kits to my shop too.  You can save on shipping and get more for your $$ when you purchase more than one kit. See them all here. 

  First is the Painted Petals 12 card kit – created with a former Paper Pumpkin kit but jazzed up with extra cards & product. See it here. 

  

  Next is the Daisy Daydream 12 card kit – also created with a previous Paper Pumpkin kit – I changed up the cards, added 3 extra cards, gems & ribbon added. See it here.

• Amazing Beautiful Motif dies featured on this simple card

  June 4, 2025

  ---

   

  I shared this card on my Live video last week.  It's a simple fun fold that looks extra special due to the dies I used. 

  

  The Beautiful Motifs is wonderful, mostly because of the extra special dies.  3 of the 5 dies partially cut out and the other 2 do cut out fully (see the pink flower above). 

  This set of dies or bundle will be included in the Suite sale starting today!  Once you buy one item at full price you can get these dies for just $16.50 (if less than the first item). 

  

  In the photo below you can see how one of the other partially cut dies looks – in the bottom corner inside the card.  What a pretty addition to our cards! 

  The textured Pink strip is the Damask Designs embossing folder seen here.  It's also included in the Suite sale! 

  

  I created a free project sheet for you; click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Beautiful Motifs easy card

  Below is the video for this card and another special fun fold card; both featuring this awesome bundle.
