The Branching Out bundle is retiring! Check out this fun fold card with video tutorial!

December 17, 2025

We made this card earlier this fall and I realize I haven’t shared it with you yet. I also made a video too – scroll down….

The colors include Pecan Pie with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Shaded Spruce. I used various wood-like designer series papers for the side panel. See how it has a double fold?

Also notice the ‘white’ snow on the pine boughs plus snow in the background. You can achieve that without heat embossing. We used White Craft ink and stamped over the pine. Easy & a fun accent!

The stamp set is retiring but the dies are not. The bundle is on the last chance list now. Click here to see it.
It’s been one of my favorite products in our Holiday catalog this year. It’s timeless and can be used for fall, winter or Christmas!

Besides the video tutorial here’s a free project sheet for you too. Click here to download or print it.

I’m glad the dies are not retiring but I have to say the stamp set is among my top 5 favorites!

Below is the video tutorial which gives you tips on stamping the branches with the pines and pine cones.

Gorgeous Butterflies with the Brilliant Wing dies

March 11, 2021

I was playing around with these dies and came up with these striking colored butterflies.

Save

I used the designer paper as a template to sponge through. This is what's left after you use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut out the 6 butterflies. Although in hindsight I should have sponged on the other side so the die fit. It was upside down on the die; I had to hold it up to the light to get the die placed correctly.

I added a piece of White CS behind these butterflies and used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add that pretty stitched edge. See those here.

Click on the image below to see these items in my store. Remember this designer paper is available through May 3rd or while supplies last.

The greeting is from the Vine Design stamp set on a 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade card stock.

This week’s card sketch for a quick, cute card!

March 10, 2021
Are you a collector of pretty papers? I've heard that many of you are! I equate it to my fabric collecting days.

This card sketch idea (seen below) will help you use some of it; it's so simple!

Save

I used the Double Oval punch for the greeting which unfortunately is unavailable right now; they've run out! But it will be at the end of March. The stamped greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set on page 59 in the Spring catalog. This pretty Grape ribbon is also unavailable; it should be back next week.

I chose to use the new Butterfly Bijou designer paper; an exclusive paper not seen in any catalog. It's available here through May 3rd or while supplies last. It's a 48 pack of 6 X 6" papers. I love the soft spring-like colors.

Measurements are:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Gorgeous Grape 5 1/4" X 3 1/2"
- Designer Paper 3 pieces at 1 1/2" X 3 7/8"
You could use this sketch with stamped or textured card stock instead of designer paper. I would cut a full 4 1/2" X 3 7/8" piece of card stock, stamp it and then cut it into 1 1/2" strips.
