Save time on finishing the inside of your cards with this trick!

December 22, 2025

I’m excited to share these stunning snowflake cards with you today. We made them at my card clubs in December.
Living in North Dakota, we usually see a lot of snow in the winter so these cards are great for many occasions.

I used the Snowflake Kisses bundle seen here. It’s filled with wonderful greeting images and lots of snowflake dies.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Cloud Cover and Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia. I think blues & purples are perfect for snowflakes. We used a blending brush to add more color to the large snowflake die-cut.

After creating the cards above I thought I’d try combining the colors on the large die-cut.

Isn’t that pretty? I just love combining Gorgeous Grape with Pretty Peacock on the Fresh Freesia die-cut. Blending Brushes make this a breeze!

Look how we finished the inside.

I wanted to add snowflakes to the inside of the card but didn’t want to die-cut tons of them for my club gals. So I came up with creating a snowflake stencil.
I cut multiple snowflakes from a piece of card stock and we used Blending Brushes to add pretty snowflakes to our White layer. I truly love the effect it gives.

See how this card is made in the video below. I also shared a second Snowflake Kisses fun fold card.

Ready to Ride card kit to go; it’s for both guys & gals!

April 10, 2023
I chose the Ready to Ride specialty designer paper for one of my April card kits to go; it has wonderful black foil designs on one side and fun prints on the other. It even has a few flowers for the gals; it's not all about men here!

These cards include multiple fun folds as I like to do; they add a fun element for both the creator and the recipient.

Save

There 2 each of 5 designs in this card kit. There's a pre-cut kit to go option AND a PDF tutorial only option in my store here.

The pre-cut kit to go includes 1/2 pkg. of the Ready to Ride specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of both Classic Matte dots and Baker's Twine Essentials pack. The pre-cut card pieces, die-cuts and punched pieces are all included.

Supplies needed:
- Black ink & adhesives
- a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP (using the measurements in the tutorial).
- Greeting images – I used the Legendary Ride and Celebrating You stamp sets, but you can substitute any greeting images you already own.
The PDF tutorial is added on free and includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supply list. It's $20 in product for just $28! The tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after payment from my Shop here.

The other option is my PDF tutorial seen here. It's $15 and it's emailed to you immediately after payment.

The neat thing about my kits and tutorials are that you get great ideas for creating; whether it's with this theme or others.

Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!

April 7, 2023

Look at this gorgeous card! It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot!

I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows. The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current! Oops!

Save

Isn't it striking? It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors. I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die). It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique

I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst. The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst! But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too. It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.

Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.

Save

The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80).

Save

And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly. They were $44 and are now just $17.60. See them here.

Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

Save

Here are both projects shown together. I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!

Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies

April 6, 2023
Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone. So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!

Save

See the Eden's Garden set here. It was $22 and is now just $9.20, while supplies last.

Save

There are dies to match called the Eden dies seen here. They were $35 and are now just $14.

Save

I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz. I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color! The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.

I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34. See them here.

Save

Measurements:
- Bermuda Bay card base 8 ½” X 5"
- White die-cut piece is 3 ¾” X 5”, White stamped piece is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
- Rich Razzleberry 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”
Below you can see the Forever Fern card on the left and the Eden's Garden card on the right.

I think the color combination is beautiful. I'll sure miss these colors!

Below are the three cards I shared on the video. I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp. I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out. You can get it in French still…..
