Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

January 5, 2022

I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in. I love it!

Save

I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink. The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. You can see this bundle here.

Save

Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5". I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully. You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut. I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles. They're fun, modern & unique!

An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey

July 30, 2025

Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available.

Save

I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base.

You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this:

Save

Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above. Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area. Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Print or download it by clicking on this link: Download Prairie Grass scene

And here’s the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

July 29, 2025

I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today. We made it at my July card clubs.

Save

I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'. I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.

It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have! *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th.

After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little. It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

Save

See the flap on the left side of the card above? That flap holds down the front of the card. So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?

Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet

July 28, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.

Save

Isn't it pretty? The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.

I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here. It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.

Save

This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.

The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here. It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.
