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:

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…..

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.

  • Wow; look at this gorgeous Fall Sampler!!


    Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap.  We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap.  These swaps are super fun to make!  The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

    Look!!

    Isn't it amazing!?  We had enough people to make two!  I'll share the other one tomorrow.

    I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper.  This texture style paper is on sale right now in October!  But there's just two days left to get it!  Go here to order yours.

  • Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!


    Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

    Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects! 

    Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately: 

    I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

    Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies. 

    Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

    I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!
