Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

July 14, 2026

Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

Neat fun fold card with a Blends/embossing technique with Fields in Bloom; video & free project sheet too!

August 13, 2024

I really love the card I'm sharing with you today. In addition to it being a unique fun fold there are so many great details!

Save

I used the Fields in Bloom & Everyday Greetings stamp sets which are both wonderful. But what makes this card so special is the technique and the fun fold.

There is a second folded card under the window; inside the main card base. For the window, I used the Everyday Details dies seen here. They are in the online store now but were in last year's catalog. It creates a perfect window for the hill of flowers scene.

Save

I stamped the flowers and leaves images in Versamark and heat embossed them in White. Then I used Blends markers to color the embossed flowers & leaves. This is such a fun technique and super easy too. I love that I can get these two large images colored in multiple colors this way. Please watch the video here to see how it's done.

Save

It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other. Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is.

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Shaded Spruce and a bit of Petunia Pop. Here's a shot of the window & fun fold aspect of this card.

I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images. See it here; it's in the online store.
