Love this new Friendly Foliage bundle! Watch the video & grab the free project sheet

October 28, 2025

On last week’s video I shared a bunch of new, upcoming products and this card is a favorite!

Can you spy some of the new products here? There are 4 of them…..

I’ll help you out…. One is the stamp & die bundle of course; it’s called Friendly Foliage. The other is the designer paper called Brushed with Beauty. Next is that pretty embossing folder called Pretty Patterns of course! Lastly is the gems.

I changed up the card above to use the other coordinating die in this bundle. It cuts out the center of the foliage.

Same card but a totally different look with the details highlighted this way. I shared these cards in the video below. Which do you prefer?

Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card

July 20, 2026
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

Save

You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

Save

This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP

July 16, 2026
I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

Save

Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

Save

The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

July 14, 2026

Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

Save

It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

Save

Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

Save

Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.
