Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

January 20, 2026

I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.

Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set

July 7, 2022
Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video. I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!?

Save

I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.

I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock. Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue. Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.

Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber. Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done.

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer. I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves. Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.

Save

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside.

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies. I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here. I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.

A beautiful Texture Chic card class in the mail, with PDF option too!

July 5, 2022
I did a poll in my Facebook group to decide which designer paper to feature in my July card kit to go. Texture Chic was a top favorite and looking at the finished cards I can see why!

Save

The cards came together wonderfully and include a few fun folds that I know people enjoy making & giving. I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set along with these inks: Soft Succulent, Blushing Bride, Pool Party & Soft Suede.

When designing my card kits I like to use mostly greetings that most people can easily substitute. Usually the designer paper, layouts, fun folds &/or accessories are the star of the cards.

The Texture Chic specialty DSP is filled with gold accents and gorgeous printed textures. Click here to see it.

If you want to make these cards you have a few choices:
1. Get the PDF tutorial only here. $15
2. Or choose the pre-cut card kit here. $28 plus shipping
Here's how it works:

The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free. It's the best deal.

You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Texture Chic specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots and 3/8" shimmer Gold ribbon. You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards! The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces. It does not include textured embossing.

The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions. See both here on my shop as well as a few other kits I have available.

What you need to complete these cards:
1. a paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips
2. Inks and stamp greetings
3. Die-cut & embossing machine to add texture to some layers
These cards are absolutely beautiful and can be used for many occasions.
