Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

July 29, 2025

I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today. We made it at my July card clubs.

I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'. I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.

It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have! *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th.

After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little. It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

See the flap on the left side of the card above? That flap holds down the front of the card. So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?

I created a free project sheet for this card. You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025

And here's the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

May 5, 2023
I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator.

Here's one of my recent projects:

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace.

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge. It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed. Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

Save
Measurements are:
- Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
- left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
- front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
- Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside) & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
- Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
- Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”
Save

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog. If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5. If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

May 4, 2023

During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.
Save

This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it. I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp. I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.

I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Save

I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.

Which color is your favorite? From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
