Fern & Flora

Thursday, July 2, 2026

Today's card features the lovely designer paper MOONLIT FLORA which coordinates with the FERN & FLORA bundle.

This card was Inspired by Ann Schach and was a big hit for my Tuesday stampers.

The designer paper does most of the work for you!! To save on the designer paper I cut my front piece 4" x 5-1/2". The card base is Thick Basic White that measures 5-1/2" x 8" scored at 4"

Depending on where you cut your designer paper, you might end up putting the sentiment on the right hand side (like Ann did).

I had to figure out the measurements so I chose to cut some Basic White at 4-1/8" x 3". With the Designer Paper being 4" x 2-7/8".

Also depending on which piece of Designer Paper that my Tuesday stampers received in their kit, the can add some little flowers (I added one), and there is a cute moth stamp that they can add if their particular piece didn't include one.

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE and a 1-3/4" circle punch (Secret Sea card stock) are used for the sentiment and I also used the GREETINGS FOR ALL MIX & MATCH EPHEMERA PACK for the sentiment. My Tuesday stampers can choose from a variety of sentiments.

And just a few Basic Rhinestones add just the right bling!

For the month of July (2026) drawing I am giving away a $50 Stampin' Up! shopping spree with me! For any order placed with me during July I will put your name in the drawing.
Last month's drawing for the BBQ MASTERS Bundle goes to Lori M

Share joy, love, and happy wishes with the Begonia Belle Stamp Set.

Relaxing Waterside

Wednesday, July 1, 2026

I think I'm in all my glory because all of the elements on this card are fussy-cut out. I know that I am probably in the minority, but give me a designer paper that has pieces to cut out and I'm a happy camper.

The stunning RELAXING WATERSIDE BUNDLE with the gorgeous WATERSIDE RETREAT 12x12 is a winning combination.
My card club gals made this card last night which was Inspired by MaryAnn Cowan 
The second card that they made (inspired by Sue Campfield)

And then we always make a 3D project. Most of the time it is a box of some sort.
I thought it was appropriate to fill them with "life savers". I really wanted the white ones, but they were not available when I was shopping for something to fit in the little drawer.
It is called a Pop Up Drawer Box inspired by Brenda Quintana

Emboss Your Washi Tape

Thursday, June 25, 2026

GREENERY LANE meets PARADISE GARDEN Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Super simple card when you need to make up something quick on the go.

Have you played with any of our Washi Tapes? I think that they are super fun, and now Stampin' Up! has a third one that has fun, bright,  summer elements to it.

This card was Inspired by Lynn Dunn

What I changed up: the bling - I pulled out some retired RESIN HEARTS from my stash to add to the banner.

Once again I didn't have the measurements so this is what I came up with:

Lost Lagoon base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

Basic White: 5" x 3-3/4"

Washi Tape adhered to Basic White: 3-1/2" x 5" (yes I have two layers because I don't always get the Washi Tape on straight. This way I could trim it to the size I needed)

After adhering the Washi Tape piece to the Basic White I ran it through the Stampin' Emboss Machine with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder, then attached it to the card base.

The wavy banner is from Paradise Garden as is the hexagon. It's just as simple as that!

Check out the other Washi Tapes:
