Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial


On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper.  Here's the first card: 

I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut. 

This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here. 

Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card. 

I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

Here's the free project sheet you can print or download: Download Friends for Life Best Wishes here

Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!

  • Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!


    Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip.  We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them!  Thank you all for your support!!

    Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

    The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

    She added even more dies to the inside!

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.  

    She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

    Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

    The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

    Here's the inside view.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4". 
    • DSP on the inside left 2 5/8" X 5 1/2", on the right 1 5/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • Cloud Cover layer is 2 1/2" X 4"

  • New In Color samples with Impressions Abloom


    I made these cards for my In Color display board. The Impressions Abloom bundle is one of my favorites among the new Online Exclusives.  

    This bundle has it all – beautiful images, pretty greetings and amazing die-cuts! 

    It's a 2-step stamp set and has 3 sets of flowers and a set of leaves in images.  I love the greetings and the dies especially.  These pretty ovals are perfect! See the Impressions Abloom bundle here. 

    The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first.  Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts.  The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D. 

    These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
