Lovely & Sweet card is filled with textures; get the free project sheet or watch the video

This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.

The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

• A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

  September 22, 2025

  ---

  I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

  Save

  We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

  Save

  You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

  Save

  We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

  Save

  It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

  Save

  I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

  I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

  Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

  She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

  The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

  Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

  Save

  She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

  Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

  Save

  She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

  Measurements:
