Irresistible Designs emboss resist technique with free project sheet & video

June 24, 2025

I shared this card on last week's Live video. I wanted to feature the new Irresistible Designs specialty paper seen here in the new Annual catalog. It has printed/embossed patterns that are perfect for the emboss resist technique.

Which color do you prefer? Are you a yellow or a purple person?

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. For inks I chose Lemon Lolly, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather.

I cut my strips first, then blended the inks on. I textured the center Smoky Slate layer with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

I stamped the greeting twice; first on the circle and again on a small piece of card stock. I fussy cut the 'Celebrate' out and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals. This was such an easy card!

Beautifully Happy; a perfect set for some quick cards

February 16, 2023

I needed a bunch of thank you cards for online orders and quickly made this set of cards:

Save

The pretty Beautifully Happy stamp set (Sale-a-Bration and free with a $100 order) is so easy to work with! It has outline images AND coordinating 'fill in' images that make it super simple to add color where you want it. And they're Distinktive images too! This means they give multiple hues of color tones with one stamping. And I love the greetings too.

Save

I used the Good Things cards & envelopes for these cards. They were available last month for Paper Pumpkin subscribers, but they're sold out now. I love using coordinating products! I added a 3" X 5 1/2" piece of Design a Daydream Host DSP to each card. I think the lattice look works wonderfully with this flower image.

Save

The greetings are made with our Double Oval punch; white & Mossy Meadow. You can see this pretty stamp set here.

Remember that if you order $100 this set is free! And if you use a host code below you'll get a free package of Milky Dots in your thank you card.

Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers for fast pretty cards!

February 15, 2023

I ran out of thank you cards for online orders and needed some made fast. I reached for our pretty designer papers and made these 11 cards in less than an hour!

Save

Each piece of designer paper is 3" X 5 1/2". I used Dainty Flowers Sale-a-Bration DSP and Awash in Beauty paper from the Annual catalog.

From one sheet of 12 X 12" paper this card design gave me 8 card fronts! They are adhered to the Good Things cards & envelopes. They are unavailable now, but they were an addon product for Paper Pumpkin subscribers in January. *It pays to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get these great add-ons! Get a pre-paid subscription here

I had a bunch of white pre-cut & punched greeting labels and simply stamped the thank you on them (greeting from Thanks a Bunch SAB carrot set). Then I grabbed more 'extra' items I had on my desk and embellished each card. Some have ribbons, punched leaves or flowers and embellishments. It was fun to add on these extras.
