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.

  • Cheerfully Inked card kit to go; reserve yours soon!


    Because we’re moving to Bismarck in July I will have just one card kit to go in June. I will be busy packing and moving so I’m cutting back on blog posts, videos and creating for a few weeks.

    This kit to go features the Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin kit. Look how colorful and beautiful they are?! Of course I changed up the original kit to create these:

    I have a small, limited supply of these kits!

    You can reserve your kit here; they’re $31 for all 12 cards with envelopes. It includes all die-cuts and layers plus a share of pretty sequins. You’ll receive the PDF tutorial immediately after purchase; check your junk folder.

    I also have a PDF tutorial option if you already own this Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s $16. See that here.

    But you can browse my many other kits to go here. Quite a few are reduced in price to clear them out before I move.

  • Last of the Team card swaps featuring new products


    Today I’m sharing the last two swaps from May; our theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

    This first card was made by Ginny. She cased a card made by Chelle Scott.

    She used the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. Who doesn’t love ferns!? Stampin’ Up! did an awesome job on these dies.
    The colors here are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Peaceful Pine.

    And look at that gorgeous embossing folder – called Fern & Flora 3D folder is stunning! See it here.

    Next is a pretty card made by Paula who featured the Valley in Bloom Designer Paper.

    It’s a book binding card fold. Start with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base; score at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. Adhere the ‘binding’ area down.
    Her colors include Blackberry Bliss with Granny Apple Green. She added some of the new 2026-28 In Color butterflies too.

    This designer paper is simply stunning; it’s so soft and yet detailed at the same time. See it here.

    Here’s what she did on the inside. The dies are so pretty!

    Here’s the Lily of the Valley bundle that includes these beautiful dies.

    Thanks for joining the swap gals; LOVE your cards!

  • Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!


    I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

    The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.

    I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.

    The cute patterned balloons are cut from the new Beautiful Ordinary Life designer paper (seen here) and the new 2026-28 In Color Patterns DSP. See it here.

    I created a free project sheet for you; click here to print or download it.

    Below is the video where I shared this card and another featuring the same products.
