Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

October 2, 2020

Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards! They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month. They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower.

We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker. I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness.

Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here.

Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers. It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
Early Espresso 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
In Good Taste DSP 1 3/4" X 4 3/4"

January 16, 2026

Here’s the second kit to go I’m offering in January; the Cute as a Bug fun fold card kit:

Stampin’ Up! knocked it out of the park with this CUTE designer series paper! *see it online here It’s unique color combinations and whimsical critters make creating with it so enjoyable.

I created 5 different fun fold layouts and doubled them for a total of 10 unique cards.

The PDF tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list. I also recorded a video tutorial exclusively to those who purchase it or the kit to go. This tutorial is just $16 and can be seen here.

The pre-cut kit to go can be seen here. Reserve it now and it will be mailed out later this month (likely around the 22nd of January).

The kit includes the following: 1/2 pkg of the Cute as a Bug DSP, a share of the Ladybug Garden epoxy gems, the Old Olive rick-rack ribbon and exclusive video link. It also includes 10 pre-cut cards! Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper. You’ll use the measurements in the PDF tutorial to do that; it’s easy! Then just assemble and add your stamped images to the greeting pieces provided. (Any greetings will work; feel free to use what you have).

My kits are super easy to complete. I get tons of compliments and repeat customers each month.

New Catalog Party Displays!

January 13, 2026

It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.
