Stunning Garden Poetry Fun-fold card kit with tutorial option

March 12, 2026

The Garden Poetry designer paper was a firm choice for one of my card kits. It’s absolutely breathtaking with the coordinating prints in leafy and watercolor designs.

I wanted to show off both sides of this beautiful paper so I chose to feature fun folds for these cards.

I love the vibrant colors so much. If you enjoy creating with ‘ready to go’ kits I hope you’ll try one or more of my kits to go.

This kit to go includes multiple products to create cards like these click here. The kit includes all 10 pre-cut cards, 1/2 pkg of the designer paper, a share of the Garden Epoxy gems and the Berry Burst ribbon and costs $31. Plus you’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND the link to the exclusive video tutorial.

The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, a supplies list and step by step directions. You’ll need a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. You’ll also need a few ink colors, greeting images and adhesives to finish your cards. I have a limited supply of these kits available; reserve yours soon!

If you’d like the PDF tutorial click here. It’s $16.

The PDF tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after purchase. Check your spam folder.

Each month I add at least two card kits & tutorials to my shop. It’s smart to purchase more than one and save on shipping costs. Browse them all here.

Wow Peace & Joy card!

December 1, 2020
Look at this amazing card Jacki made for our Flowerbug's swap last month! Count the layers!

I count 8 layers on the front alone! She used lots of Holiday catalog products to make this gorgeous card including the following:
- Peace & Joy Bundle seen here
- Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP
- Plush Poinsettia Specialty paper seen here
- Snowflake Adhesive Backed sequins
Aren't those Joy dies amazing? They include all 3 layers of the greeting. It also includes the words Joy & Peace too.

Video with Stampin’ Up! Stitched Dies for some easy WOW cards!

November 30, 2020
Look at these fun and unique cards made with the Stitched Triangle dies!

Aren't they neat? Our Stitched dies are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of ways as you can see!

I used the Well Said stamp set, Well Written & Stitched Triangle dies. The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" and the Vellum ¾" X 4”

These cards were created on last week's FB Live video. If you're not following me yet here's the link to my FB page. Be sure to like & follow so you catch them every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT.

Check out the Stitched Rectangle cards below. I cut all of the Playful Patterns Designer Paper layers at the same time using just 2 dies.

How did I do it? Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside. Perfect layers!

I then layered the Designer Paper with card stock and added a die-cut greeting from the Best Year stamp set.

Supplies & Measurements:
- Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, & Calypso Coral
- Tasteful Label dies, Detailed Bands dies, rhinestones
- DSP – 5 ¼” X 4”, and cut with dies at 3 ¾” X 3” & 3 1/8” X 1 ¾”
- CS – 4 5/8” X 3 ¼” and 3 3/8” X 2”
Remember you can find me here on Facebook 6 times a month!

Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)

November 27, 2020

Do you normally shop on Black Friday? Online or in the stores? I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year! That's my plan anyway.

I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping. Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift.

All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands!

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too!

Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer!

I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors.

If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US. They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday. Here are the cards we're making:

It's all about the trees this time! I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.

Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am. Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come. You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.
