Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done!  Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more!  I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND.  But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.  
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru!  They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets.  I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors.  I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies.  This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  I love these and use them often.  You can see them here.  I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card.  Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front.  But I did add a greeting to the inside:

• An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey

  July 30, 2025

  ---

  Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available. 

  Save

  I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base. 

  You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this: 

  Save

  Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above.  Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area.  Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Print or download it by clicking on this link: Download Prairie Grass scene

  And here’s the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

• Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

  July 29, 2025

  I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today.  We made it at my July card clubs.

  I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'.  I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.  

  It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have!  *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th. 

  After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little.  It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

  See the flap on the left side of the card above?  That flap holds down the front of the card.  So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?

• Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet

  July 28, 2025

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.

  Isn't it pretty?  The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  

  I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here.  It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.

  This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.  

  The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here.  It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.
