New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees

Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

Save

This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

Save

Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

• Get great ideas from our Team Christmas card swaps made with Online Exclusives

  October 23, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas.  And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products!  If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products!  Click here to see them all. 

  Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle.  I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!

  Isn't it incredible?!  Besides all of the small stamps she die-cut she also cut out nine 1" stitched squares per card!  Wowsers!  

  Here's the adorable bundle below. Click here to see it in my store.  I love the many images and the greeting labels a lot.

  Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one.  It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper. See it here. 

  See that cute greeting & die-cut?  They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.

  Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above?  It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.

  She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here.  You can find it in our Online Exclusives.  It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies.  I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!

• 2 more Season of Elegance & Peaceful Season cards with free project sheets & video

  October 22, 2024

  Yesterday I shared a gorgeous fancy fold card and today I have two more pretty cards as well.  They all feature the Season of Elegance suite.

  I'll start with this one which has Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Gold:

  I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too.  I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here) to the Beige layer before I textured it.  A neat trick to showcase them both.

  Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it.

  Here's a view of this gorgeous designer paper:

  Next is a pretty card featuring the Cherry Cobbler and Gold DSP in this pack.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again.  I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.  

  This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers.  It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well.

  I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well.  It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder.  It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.

  Here's the free project sheet for this card. Download Gifts of Christmas card

  I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.  

  **Did you know you can get the entire Season of Elegance Suite for just $99 (regular price $154.75)?!  And shipping is free!  Add it to your Starter kit here by October 31st. An incredible deal! 

  Below is the video for these two cards and another neat fun fold too.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

• This Season of Elegance fancy fold is extra special and has a gift card option

  October 21, 2024

  I shared this card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also part of my October kit to go and PDF tutorial as well.  It's unique and truly shows off our double sided designer paper!

  Can you see how it opens? The left panel opens up to reveal another flap that also opens. This Cherry Cobbler layer is scored to allow a gift card to be inserted in the pocket.  If you don't need one, just adhere it down or trim it off.  

  I did create a free project sheet for this card; click on the following link to download or print it off. Download Season of Elegance fun fold card with gift card option

  I have 5 of these pre-cut kits to go left that include 1/2 pkg of the Season of Elegance specialty paper plus shares of the Cherry  Cobbler/Gold ribbon and Gold textured dots. The tutorial is included or you can purchase it separately. Click here to see the options.
