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.

Save

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:

• Poetic Petals in a soft color combination

  September 18, 2026

  ---

  If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

  Save

  The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

  The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

  Save

  It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
  The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

  Save

  I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

  Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

• Pretty Poetic Petals cards

  September 17, 2026

  ---

  Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

  Save

  I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

  See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

  Save

  You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

  Save

  And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

  Save

  I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
