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.

Beautiful Gallery Suite in an ‘over the top’ card

June 16, 2025

I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery suite for last week's Live video and came up with this card.

Save

It has tons of die-cuts and layers I am calling it 'over the top'. It's not my normal style at all. But I do like it; probably because it has just a few colors in it. That helps it not seen too busy.

The textured 'frames' are done with the Damask Designs folder; both are die-cut frames in the Gallery Bloom dies (which are out of stock right now unfortunately). The smaller frame is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The DSP in the background is the Beautiful Bokeh paper.

My colors include Fresh Freesia with White and Old Olive.

Save

I inked the two different floral stamps with Stampin' Write markers, coloring directly onto the stamp before stamping on my White CS. Watch the video below to get a tip or two on this technique. The rest of the pretty die-cuts are from this Suite seen here.

Save

Remember this suite and both bundles are both BOGO Through June – Buy 1 Get 1 50% off. Unfortunately I saw that the Gallery Bloom dies are out of stock right now.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another. I hope you'll watch it; and subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

Gorgeous Gallery Blooms card with video tutorial & free project sheet

June 16, 2025

I shared this beautiful card on last week's video. It features the Gallery Blooms bundle in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.

Save

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Secret Sea and White. The die-cuts here include the frame and the flower. The greeting is die-cut with the More Messages die.

I did texture the largest White layer with the Damask Designs folder; which is included in the Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here. All of these items are included in the Suite BOGO sale this month. Buy any Suite item and get the second at half off. What a great deal; especially if you buy either two suites or two bundles. See all of the Suite products here.

The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo

June 13, 2025

I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.

Save

The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock. See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.

My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!

This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images.

Save

Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold? Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.

Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out.

Save

Check out the confetti on the frosting. I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!
