Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card


I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
  2. Paper Florist dies
  3. Countryside Corners dies
  4. Blending Brushes
  5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
  6. Embossing paste Matte finish
  7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

  • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
  • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
  • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers. 

I LOVE how they turned out.  

I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week.  Stay tuned!

  • Exciting Times card with a new In Color


    Here’s a neat card that showcases a bunch of new products from the 2026 Summer catalog by Stampin’ Up!.

    This is our new ‘Golden Glow’ in color with Blueberry Bushel and White. I added white centers to the small embossed daisies with our new White Gel Pen.

    It features a ton of new products which I’ll list here:

    I trimmed off one inch from the card front to reveal the pretty DSP on the inside edge. I originally created this for a possible swap card; but it didn’t make the cut. Do you see the blooper/mistake here?

    Thanks for stopping in today; I appreciate it!

    Below are the two new kits in June!

  • Cheerfully Inked card kit to go; reserve yours soon!


    Because we’re moving to Bismarck in July I will have just one card kit to go in June. I will be busy packing and moving so I’m cutting back on blog posts, videos and creating for a few weeks.

    This kit to go features the Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin kit. Look how colorful and beautiful they are?! Of course I changed up the original kit to create these:

    I have a small, limited supply of these kits!

    You can reserve your kit here; they’re $31 for all 12 cards with envelopes. It includes all die-cuts and layers plus a share of pretty sequins. You’ll receive the PDF tutorial immediately after purchase; check your junk folder.

    I also have a PDF tutorial option if you already own this Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s $16. See that here.

    But you can browse my many other kits to go here. Quite a few are reduced in price to clear them out before I move.
