Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

October 27, 2025

On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!

Below is the video for this card and two more – all featuring new & upcoming Stampin’ Up! products!

Timeless Plaid card kit for great men’s card ideas. Reserve yours now!

April 4, 2025
If you're like me you tend to make more cards for the gals than the guys. So I thought I'd focus on men's cards for one of my kits & tutorials in April. I chose to feature the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for these terrific cards.

Save

Aren't these great card ideas? Many are fancy fold cards and perfect for the men in your life. The color combinations with the plaid DSP are quite eye catching.

You have a few options here: Choose the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial.

This card kit includes the following items:
- the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
- 1/2 pkg Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper (6" X 6")
- a share of the Faux Glass Dots
- a share of Linen Thread
- the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.
The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here. The pre-cut kit is $31 and is seen here.

Reserve yours soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues.

For the kit to go you'll need greeting images (I used With You in Mind and Unbounded Love sets but any will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper.

I have multiple kits and tutorials available on my shop here. Check them out!

Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures

April 2, 2025

On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.

Save

This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.

Save

I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here. I cannot stop using this bundle!!

This layout was inspired by this sketch.

Save

I love using sketches for my inspiration! Think of them as a starting point. Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread.

Save

Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip? That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here. I tell you this suite is incredible! I love every single thing in it!

Below is the inside view. Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards.

Here is the free project sheet for you. Click on the following link to print or download the directions: Download Woven Textures suite card

And here is the video below; it also includes how to make the Bendy card that I shared yesterday.
