Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!

This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

  The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

  My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

• Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

  May 28, 2026

  ---

  Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

  Save

  Here’s how you do it:

  Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

  Save

   Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

  Save

   Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

  Save

  We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

  Save

  I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

  I have one Mystery Box left!
  Place an order over $100 to grab it before it’s gone.
  Message me before you order to be sure it’s still available.
