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!

Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration

December 28, 2022

I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'. It's all about carrots!

Here's what I came up with:

Save

I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs. It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets. It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th.

When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards. The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.

Save

The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card. It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back. It's so easy! Here's a link to the video on how to make it.

Save

I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.

Save

Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap. I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.

Save

You can earn this stamp set free during Sale-a-Bration – January 5th – February 28th. Any $50 order and it's yours! Stay tuned for more sneak peaks this week.

Below is a video tutorial with another version of the vertical slider card:

Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

December 27, 2022
I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend. We sure did. It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days. But we did it! I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them. We vote on taste AND presentation. This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce. I came in second with Spanakopita.

The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games. We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded. It's always a blast. Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year. And I won! Sheesh!

~~~

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live. I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

The center panel lifts up. It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.

The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.
Save

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.
- Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
- White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"
Save

The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration. It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th.

Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements

December 23, 2022
I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??

Save

When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'. So fun! And quite easy to make too. It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.
Save

Measurements:
- Real Red 6” square scored on one side at 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 4 ¼” & 4 ½”
- Black strip ¾” X 6” scored same as above, Black 1/2" 'buttons'
- White glimmer ¾” X 6”
- Silver buckle is from the Potted Succulents dies
The greeting is from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my White greeting tag.

Save

I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

I hope you can spend it with your favorite people!
