Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!

For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards.  There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper.  Look!

On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink.  The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets.  The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here. 

Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set.  I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set.  I cannot wait to share it with you!

I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once.  It's close!

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
• short pieces are 1" X 3"
• stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
• Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8" 

This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay.  I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.

Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron.

Each week I share the measurements for our Monday stamp sessions a day or two early. Everyone preps their card supplies and create right along with me on my Facebook Page.  They're loving my quick & simple cards; we make 3 each week on Monday nights at 7:30 pm CT. You can see the cards we're making tonight!  Join us here!

• Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

  March 23, 2026

  ---

  I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

  Save

  I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

  It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

  That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

• Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

  March 18, 2026

  Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

  Save

  You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

  I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

  Save

  My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

  I used a few different products here:

  • The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
  • notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
  • And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
  • The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

  Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
