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!

My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card. You can see how it's done in the video here. And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here.

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings. Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:
1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first.
2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus.
3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place.
4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp.
5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp.
6. Repeat!

Biggest Wish in a Beautiful Color Combination

June 22, 2021
Here's a pretty card with a soft & soothing color combination made for an online swap.

Save

The colors include our new Fresh Freesia with Pool Party. What do you think of it?

I featured quite a few new products on this simple card. Here's the list:
1. Biggest Wishes stamp set seen here.
2. Iconic Dies for the feathers; seen here.
3. Hello & Thanks embossing folders seen here.
4. Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack seen here.
The polka dot paper is from the Pattern Party host paper pack on page 171 of your catalog. It's can only be earned with host benefits. It's just one of the choices in the Host Rewards but my favorite by far. It's 48 big sheets of 12 X 12" Designer Paper. One side is colors & patterns and the other is Black & White.

Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

June 21, 2021
I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends. I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set.

Save

I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS. Each one turned out totally different!

Save

I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues. After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.

Save

My measurements for this card are as follows:
- So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
I hope you try this technique; it's so fun! I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago. Here's a link to it.
