  Guess what?! 

  There's free shipping this week – Wednesday through Friday on orders over $75!

  I shared these amazing guy cards on last week's video.  They were on of my April card club projects. 

  

  I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion! 

  

  The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set.  The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.  

  You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents. 

  

  Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  Love these!  Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.  

  

  Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.  

  

  There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened.  Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

• Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

  April 18, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

  I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine: 

  

  Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

  

  I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

   

  

  The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

  See these pretty cards & envelopes here.  

  

  The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

  The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock. 

   

  

  I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

• 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

  April 17, 2025

  ---

  Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

  

  You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

  

  My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
