How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet

July 13, 2026

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.

Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.

I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.

Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!

I created a free project sheet with photo, measurements and directions. Click here to print it or download it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using the Violet Dreams suite seen here.

Gingerbread & Peppermint cards – get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial

November 3, 2021
I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately. Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits! Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly.

I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors. Look at the cards in this kit:

Save

Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too. This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces.

This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces.
- $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
- the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list
It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine. You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper.

I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets. You can easily substitute other greetings.

- Click here for the PDF tutorial.

This kit to go will mail out at the end of November via Priority Mail.

Ever Eden; a gorgeous card kit to go!

November 2, 2021
Did you see the new Eden's Garden Collection yet? It's available starting today! It's a combination of a sneak peak bundle from the upcoming Spring Catalog AND exclusive papers & gems available from November 2nd to January 3rd (while supplies last). You can see it all here.

Save

I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals – trees & leaves. This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems. I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.

Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too. I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs.

Save

This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial. It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

There is a limited quantity of these available. Order by November 16th. It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail.

*Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class! *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!
- Order the Kit to Go here
- Get the PDF tutorial here
This kit to go includes the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs. Most are unique folds
- 1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
- a share of Garden gems
- 3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon
You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package!

**This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive. That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow. Get both November kits here.
