Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

February 24, 2021
We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs! I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile! There was an option for everyone's needs.

I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set. You can see it here.

Aren't they pretty?! I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly. The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though. You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th. Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.

Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.

I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too. That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here.

Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper

February 23, 2021

Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team. The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.

The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers. Did you know we have two kinds? A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.

This first card was created by Karen G. She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous! I love the heart and that banner!!!

Save

This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies. The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here.

Save

And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary. She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.

Save

She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers. The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle.

Aren't my gals talented though!

Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

February 22, 2021

Get inspired by sketches! You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest. Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with.

I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge. I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC. Here's the one we did last week:

Save

And here's the card I came up with.

Save

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March. It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle. The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May. But they're releasing it early in March!

Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.

There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!!

That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper! Don't wait!
