Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!

I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video.  Honestly I didn't want to stop!  This set is so friendly and easy to create with.  

Save

Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green.  Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 

The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals.  The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals. 

The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique.  I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers.  Fun technique!  Watch the video below to see it in action.

This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog.  Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch.

I love that this stamp set includes outline & solid images to match.

For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies.  I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls.  The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.  

Save

I sure love the greetings in this set!  Versatile and such cute font.

I also shared this cute card too.  I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.  

Save

The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4"  & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.

• Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

  February 9, 2026

  ---

  We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

  Save

  I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

  Save

  I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

  Save

  This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

  Save

  My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

  I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

  Save

  More details:

  • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
  • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
  • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
  • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

  Save

  I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

• A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!

  February 6, 2026

  ---

  Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

  Save

  Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
  This is how it opens:

  Save

  Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
  Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

  She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

  Save

  Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

  Save

  Measurements as follows:

  -card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  -White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
  -Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
  -DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″

  Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing card with us Karen!
