Lori’s card shows that the Sunshine & Tulips bundle is a big WOW

January 29, 2026

My January Team swap included cards from our newest product offerings – the 2026 Spring catalog and our Online products. Lori chose to feature the Sunshine & Tulips bundle.

Isn’t it gorgeous?! Her colors include Pool Party, Azure Afternoon, Gold & Shaded Spruce. The paper behind the tulip die-cuts is the Splash of Sparkles specialty paper seen here. It’s filled with amazing colors and patterns!

This large, stitched edge die-cut is in the bundle. It also includes outline dies for both the tulips and leaves. You can see her tulip die-cuts above – in multiple colors including gold! See this special & unique bundle here.

Here’s what she did for the inside of her card; so cute!

Thank you for the amazing card Lori!

Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!

August 16, 2023

I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago. I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.

Save

I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here. It's all Pretty Peacock and white!

Save

There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink.

After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds.

Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.

Save

This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings.

You can see how this is made in the video here or click on the photo below to see it as well. I also share three other cards too.

Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial

August 15, 2023
I shared this beautiful card on a recent video. I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

Save

It's a double-decker fun fold card. It might look hard but it sure isn't! All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

Save

Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock. I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out. I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card.

I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.

Supplies:
- Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
- Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
- Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
- Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
- Gorgeous Garden dies
- Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
- Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
- Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
- Blending Brushes
Save

Double-decker card measurements:
- White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
- White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
- Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
- Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue
Here are both cards shown in the video below.

Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

August 14, 2023

Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!

Save

I think it's stunning. Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut. I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas. Easy!

I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce. Who knew?! So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.

Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors. Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.

Save

I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings. I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.

Save

I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting. Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.

Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies.
