Wow – Texturing Vellum is a fabulous effect! Check out this pretty Softly Sophisticated card

I couldn't stop playing with the Softly Stippled designer paper and the Softly Sophisticated bundle!  This card came together by using a sketch layout I saw online. 

Softly Sophisticated pool party Save

There are so many neat details on this card; I'll list a few of them.  

  • Check out the textured vellum!  It's done with the Softly Sophisticated folder (sale-a-Bration choice). Our vellum cardstock doesn't crack!
  • The pretty Softly Stippled designer paper seen here in the background adds even more texture. 
  • The dotted rectangle die-cut is from the Everyday Details dies seen here. 
  • Check out the ribbon treatment. I tied a bow around the Pool Party ribbon (Sale-a-Bration choice) with the Pebbled Path jute twine – separated into one strand. 
  • The stamps are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here – gorgeous greetings and 2-step florals. 

Softly Sophisticated with Softly Stippled Save

I've mentioned it before but I'm finding our new Pebbled Path to be a wonderful neutral color with our soft subtle colors. It's brown but with a slight gray tone to it.  Lovely!

  • A beautiful card with Thankful Garden bundle & masks – with lots of tips in the video!

    Today I'm sharing the cards we made at my March card clubs.  I also shared it in last week's video. 

    Thankful Garden Club March Save

    I featured the Thankful Garden bundle from our Online Exclusives.  This bundle includes a stamp set, coordinating dies and the set of 5 masks.  Click here to see it online.  

    THANKFUL GARDEN BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I shared quite a few helpful tips on using these masks in the video here.  Using them with our Blending Brushes truly makes you feel like an artist!  You get the multi-colored & layered effect so easily. 

    Thankful Garden Club Save

    The greetings here are from the Unbounded Love stamp set.  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Black, Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue.  

    Can you notice the 4 differences between the cards below?  Which one is your favorite?

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

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

    Botanical Textures accordion 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

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

    Florals in Bloom swap 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.  

    Sketch 5a 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!

    I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.
