Happy Memorial Day

I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live.  This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.  

Here's my favorite project:

I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS.  I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.

• Textured Notes & Botanical Textures fun fold card with video tutorial

  April 14, 2025

  ---

  I shared this fun fold card on last week's video. We also made it at my Team meeting in March. 

  Save

  The back of the card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the center is an accordion style fold that shows off your designer paper. 

  I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder on the Azure Afternoon layer – it's on the Last Chance list here. 

  The stamp set is the Textured Notes and the DSP is the Botanical Textures.  If you follow me you'll realize I cannot get enough of both of these products!  

  Here's the view with the card opened:

• New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch

  April 10, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

  Save

  I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too!  My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.  

  This layout was inspired by the following sketch.  I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration.  I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly! 

  I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch.  See it here.  

  Save

  As you can see I did not follow it exactly.  My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3".  The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.  

  The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set.  One of my new favorite greeting sets.  You're going to love it! 

  Save

  I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.

• Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!

  April 9, 2025

  ---

  I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop.  They're filled with wood accents and textures. 

  Save

  I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.  

  It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down. 

  Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

  The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April. 

  Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!
