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

January 5, 2026

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.

Nature Walk card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Both include the exclusive video!

February 10, 2026

I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

Everything is cut for you in this kit except for your new 1/2 package of the designer paper. You will need your own greeting images, inks, adhesives and paper trimmer.

Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

February 9, 2026
We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

Save

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

Save

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:
- I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
- We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
- The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
- The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.
