Fun layout with brand new products! Video & free project sheet too.

I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. How classy is the Vanilla with Black?

I made 20 of these for a recent online card swap. I love swapping!

Look closely at the layout. You could easily adapt this to any designer paper or stamp/die set. I like the fact that you only need a 3″ square of designer paper. Besides saving on DSP, it give a little relief from what could be a busy background if you use a large layer of patterned paper.

Check out that unique textured background; that’s the new Timeless Herringbone embossing folder.

This is created with products from two brand new suites. The bundle is called Notes of Collage and the designer paper is Somewhere in Time. Both will be available for everyone starting November 1st.

That unique greeting die-cut is included in the Notes of Collage bundle.

Here’s how I stamped the inside:

  Look at this incredible card Jacki made for our Team swap in July.  This month's theme was to feature window sheets.

  

  She used the Timeless Plaid and the Notes & Totes stamp set here.  Her colors include Black, Misty Moonlight, Silver Foil and Pecan Pie. 

  Here's the view when you flip the top layer up:

  

  She paid special attention to both sides of her bridge, adding the card stock & DSP layers to both the inside and the front!

  That dotted die-cut background is part of this bundle!  She really made the most of the dies here!  See the dies here and the coordinating stamp set here. 

  

  This is what it looks like fully opened. The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set. 

  Measurements:
  

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4" – from the top, cut to the score line on both sides at 1 1/4"
  • Window sheet – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
  • Misty Moonlight – greeting strip 2 3/8" X 1 1/8", center is 2 3/4" X 4", 4 sides are 1 1/8" X 4", center is 2 3/4" X 4", inside back is 5 1/4" X 4"

• Blending tips with this cute Cheers & Sips card; video & free project sheet too!

  July 16, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a pretty & bright color combo for this cheery card using the Cheers & Sips stamp & die bundle. I made it on last week's Live video. 

  

  The colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo. It's a simple layout but the stamped images sure make it special.  

  The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.  I stamped the images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with our Blends markers.  I love them because you rarely get any lines when coloring.  If you like to color you NEED the Blends markers!  Watch the video to see how to blend easily.  

  I created a free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Cheers to You card

  

  The Cheers & Sips dies are currently out of stock but they'll likely be back around July 14th. See the bundle here

  

  Below is the video for this card and TWO more with this neat bundle and the coordinating Celebratory Sips DSP seen here.   I love this colorful & unique paper; it's something completely different!

• Cheers & Sips card with the Everyday Arches dies; video & free project sheet too!

  July 15, 2025

  A simple fun fold with the Everyday Arches dies and the Cheers & Sips suite.  

  

  I fussy cut the two drinks from the designer paper for the front arch.  The inside arch has the drink, umbrella and greeting stamped from the images in the set.  The card base is Old Olive and scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". To get the arches lined up I encourage you to adhere the inside arch first and then close the card.  Now adhere the front arch to match. Easy!

  The Cheers & Sips bundle is unavailable right now; but should be back in stock any day now. Click here to see it.
