Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!


I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'.  It's such a fun technique!  

I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here).  What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.  

I have some great tips on doing this technique.

  • Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2". 
  • Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide. 
  • Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping. 
  • Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first! 
  • Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps! 
  • Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5").  Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base. 

The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long.  I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent.  I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

  • Pretty Pansy Patch fun fold card with measurements!


    Check out this pretty fun fold card using the Pansy Patch suite:  

    The flowers are die-cut from the Pansy Petals designer paper.  Yes; the Pansy dies match the Designer paper perfectly – 2 sets each of leaves and flowers coordinate!

    Note that adorable golden bee embellishment.  They're called Bumblebee trinkets but they are currently unavailable.  They should be back in stock around June 7th. 

    Here are the measurements for this pretty card: 

    • Evening Evergreen:  8 ½” X 5 ½” base scored at 1 ¼” and 4 ¼”
    • Fresh Freesia: 1” X 5 ¼”
    • Basic White:  2 pieces – 3” X 4 ¼” for stitched rectangle die-cut and 2 ¾” X 4” for inside
    • Pansy Petals Designer Paper: 1 ½” X 5 ½” plus more for the die-cut pansies

    I created this display for the Pansy Patch bundle seen here; see how many dies you get?  And you can see how to put each of them together as well. 

    This suite is fresh, springy and unique.  See it all here.

  • How many ways can you use the Elegant Tag punch? LOTS!


    Look at these pretty projects using the Simply Elegant suite

    The Simply Elegant Specialty designer paper is gorgeous as well! It's filled with detailed patterns in Basic Black, Basic Gray, copper, gold, silver, Very Vanilla, Whisper White. 

    Check out the Elegantly Said stamp set here in the bundle with the Elegant Tag punch. 


    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.
