Simple Lily of the Valley card; it’s a WOW! Grab the free project sheet or watch the video

August 17, 2026

I shared this beautiful Lily of the Valley card on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those cards that looks simple and easy but involves a bit of effort.

I used the Lily of the Valley dies along with the Everyday Arches dies on the vellum and the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder (it’s back in stock) for the background. White & Granny Apple Green are my colors here.

Since I did-cut the flowers from White CS I used a Granny Apple Green blends marker to color the stems on the flowers. I also curled the die-cut leaves a bit and cut one apart for the thicker stems in the center area. Watch the video to see how.

Did you notice there isn’t a greeting on the front? It’s okay to leave them off now and then. This way my card can be used for any purpose.

I didn’t even stamp one on the inside. Just a simple leaf/flower image. Click here to see the Lily of the Valley in my store. It’s wonderful.

I created a free project sheet for this card as well as my video below. Click here for the project sheet you can download or print.

Fabulous Gone Fishing bundle swap cards

June 11, 2023

Father's Day is coming up Sunday and the Gone Fishing bundle is perfect for the occasion.

I received two swap cards on the cruise and thought you'd like to see them. First is my friend Susie Wood's card. Her style is similar to mine and we often share cards with each other. My husband and I spent time with her and her husband Deke on the cruise; not enough but we both treasure our friendship so much! Check out her fabulous blog here. She is super creative and a master at fun folds.

Her colors are Night of Navy with Vanilla and Boho Blue. The tag is made with our Very Best Trio punch seen here.

Next is a card I received from Janet Holmes. The curvy border die-cut shows off wonderfully here.

I'll have lots more to share with this bundle soon!

Marvelous Nature Ombre technique with video tutorial

June 9, 2023

Today I'm sharing the other card I made during Tuesday's video. Both featured the new set called Marvelous Nature.

Save

I used an ombre technique where I inked the solid stamped image with three inks consecutively. The top is Pool Party, the middle is Lost Lagoon and the bottom is Pretty Peacock.

Save

You can see this pretty Marvelous Nature stamp set here.

The greeting is from the set but I did use the Stylish Shapes dies for it and popped it up on Dimensionals.

Save

The card base is Lost Lagoon with two strips of Pretty Peacock under the main image. As you can see by the photo below the left card is lighter than the right one. In the video I went over the upper part of the image one more time using the Stamparatus; mostly so I could get a more solid, complete image.

Pretty Marvelous Nature card with video tutorial & measurements

June 8, 2023

I've seen a few projects with the Marvelous Nature set and was intrigued by it's reverse images. And it's nature so I ordered it. This card was one of two I made on this week's Live video:

Save

I chose to use Lost Lagoon with Pretty Peacock. I also added some of the Hello, Irresistible designer paper. This pretty DSP is on sale right now too! See it here.

You may also spy the shimmery strip beside the greeting. This is our Soft Shimmer 12" X 12" paper pack seen here. It has 5 rich colors in it.

Save

The Marvelous Nature stamp set (seen here) includes two beautiful images and three greetings. I kept my card very simple to show off the pretty fern image.

Save

I love these colors together!
