Fantastic card with the Merry Christmas stamp with a free project sheet & video

December 9, 2025

Today is the last day to get in on the Cyber Monday sale on Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Surprising Botanical Layers bundle includes a stamp set & vellum!

May 30, 2022

Happy Memorial Day

Today we remember those we've lost and whole heartedly thank those who've served our nation.

I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live. This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.

Here's my favorite project:

Save

I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS. I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.

I created a few more projects in the video with other techniques you may want to see. Click here to watch it.

More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video

May 29, 2022

Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video. The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.

When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.

Save

I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum. This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.

Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink. It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.

Save

For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum. I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.

Save

I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here. A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.
