Gorgeous ways to add color to the Quiet Reflection stamp; with video & free project sheet

April 10, 2024

Today I'm sharing one of the projects I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Quiet Reflection stamp set and ways you can add color to the solid image.

Save

You can see this stamp set online here. It's not retiring; it will return in the new Annual Catalog. It's a beautiful sympathy set.

I chose to use Starry Sky with Shaded Spruce. The dies are the Thoughtful Expressions dies and sadly they are already out of stock; they were on the retiring list and they've sold out.

Notice the two toned image here. This one is simply a matter of inking in Blue and stamping. Then ink a sponge dauber in green ink and dab over the stamped image. So easy!

I do have a free project sheet with the directions, measurements & supplies list. See it here. Download Quiet Reflection 2-toned

In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image. I'll share the card on the right below tomorrow.

Springtime Scenes bundle meets Painted Illusions DSP

April 1, 2026

I had a play with the Springtime Scenes bundle and paired it with the pretty Painted Illusions designer paper.

Save

My colors are Pretty in Pink, White & Lost Lagoon.
Measurements: Card base 4 1/4″ X 11″, DSP 1 3/4″ X 5 1/2″, White square 3 1/4″, Lost Lagoon square 3 1/2″

I started out with the large circle/leaf die-cut. I stamped the greeting inside the circle and then textured the White square with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder. Now I could add the circle, the flower – both from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. It was out of stock for awhile but it’s back now. So many neat die-cuts and the greetings are quite a good variety.

Save

Next I adhered a strip of the Painted Illusions DSP (Product of the Month) to the card base and added two thin scraps of White CS diagonally. Because I had the large square and the DSP strip I felt it needed something without hard angles like the square/rectangle layers. This gives a bit of fun to the card.

Neat Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

March 30, 2026

I shared this neat fun fold card on last week’s video. It is the standard size card but shows off your designer paper so nicely.

Save

The 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock has an extra score line on the front left. This gives you a spot for a DSP strip and to adhere a 4 1/4″ piece of DSP under that flap. It opens fully because the DSP is only attached to the scored flap. So cool!
My colors include Misty Moonlight, Strawberry Slush & Crushed Curry; taken from the designer series paper. The little butterflies dies are from the Cutest Crew dies. That greeting is from the Springtime Scenes dies.

I used the new Homemade Sweetness DSP here with the greeting from the Cutest Crew stamp set. The checked Misty Moonlight ribbon is in the suite with the Homemade Sweetness DSP. There is also a stamp & dies bundle and gems. Here’s a link to the DSP:

I did create a free project sheet for this card so you can make this fun fold too. Click here to access it.

Below is the video tutorial for this sweet card; I hope you watch it.
