Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Fun & Simple card layout for designer paper with video tutorial

February 19, 2025

Here's one more card shared on last week's Live video. It is a very simple layout with a bit of fun to it.

Save

It's simply two layers of designer series paper with a slanted greeting across it. The slant adds a bit of playfulness to the vertical layers.

I used the Mixed Media Florals suite seen here. It's in our Online Exclusives line which is available to everyone. The Online title confuses some people but all it really means is that it's not in any published catalog and can be found in our online store.

I tried another version above; one with flowers and the other with a patterned design. Which do you prefer?

The center panel is 2" X 5 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2" X 5 1/2". The Black strip across is 1" wide.

The main panel is actually black & white without color. I used our Blends markers to add color to it. I love the ability to add whatever color I want to feature. In this case Petal Pink with pops of Lemon Lolly, Black and Old Olive.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two other layouts using this pretty designer paper.

Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

February 17, 2025

Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual. I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line. You can see it here.

Save

My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky.

The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.
