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.

Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures

April 2, 2025

On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.

This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.

I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here. I cannot stop using this bundle!!

This layout was inspired by this sketch.

I love using sketches for my inspiration! Think of them as a starting point. Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread.

Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip? That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here. I tell you this suite is incredible! I love every single thing in it!

Below is the inside view. Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards.

I just love this project I'm sharing today! Have you ever made a 'Bendy card'?

Save

This card features the beautiful Textured Notes stamp set seen here. I just love this stamp set! The leaves are so easy to create with. And the black & white DSP in the back is called Botanical Textures seen here.

Save

This stamp set is in a bundle with the wonderful Textured Notes dies. See the bundle here.

This Bendy card is super simple to make. The back is scored in the center plus the center white and the lower black have scored tabs on the side that allows the entire card to bend. Be sure to check out the video & free project sheet below.

Below is one of the ways I stamped the back. Watch the video below to see another version.
