This card may look challenging, but it is super simple and my Tuesday stampers will love it!

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!

Bloom Boutique Suite

Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Today's card features the BLOOM BOUTIQUE SUITE and 3 of our new In Colors: Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow & Peaceful Pine.

This card was Inspired by Tarabeth

What I changed up: the sentiment - instead of a thank you card I chose this one from PARADISE GARDEN, but the Happy Birthday did come from SCALLOPED BLOOMS (which is a part of the Suite)

I love the little tuck on this card, and aren't those little butterflies sweet?

Measurements: Base: Crisp Cantaloupe: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at

3" & 7-1/4"

Layers: Peaceful Pine: 5-3/8" x 1-1/8" & 5-3/8" x 2-7/8"

Designer Paper: 5-1/4" x 2-3/4" & 5-1/4" x 1"

Scalloped Blooms Dies for the tag in Basic White and Peaceful Pine.

Swap Cards

Tuesday, June 23, 2026

At our June Team Meeting we had a New Catalog Swap. This could include some of the new Online Exclusives Products

Here are the cards that were swapped:

Janell made this super fun Halloween card using the OH MY FRIGHT Stamp Set with the SWIRLS OF MAGIC Embossing Folder.

The little ghosts are on these little spinners so it is an interactive card.

Inez used the EVERYDAY ARCHES and the new ALL AFLUTTER Bundle. She also used the new Hydrangea Hue Shimmer Brush on her butterflies.

I would also call Debbie's card an interactive card because when you pull it up you get this... She used the 3x3 FLIP FLAPS so you can add photos to each pocket. This will be so much fun to personalize.

Rochelle chose to use the gorgeous SCENIC COAST Designer Paper and the SUNSET COAST Bundle. Can you see how she added the Vellum sea shells?

This pretty Violet card was made by Marleine. This is the first time that Marleine has joined in on a swap and it is so pretty! I LOVE the Violet Dreams DSP. She also used the SHIMMERING STRIPES Specialty Paper - this card really shimmers!!

I absolutely knew that Dawn was going to use the SWEET OLD FRIENDS Bundle - aka Winnie the Pooh! And such a cut fun fold!

This was also Patty's first time to participate in a swap. She used the PARADISE GARDEN Hybrid Embossing Folder along with our favorite SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE Die

Karen made this stunning card using the SUNSET COAST bundle and SCENIC COAST DSP.

The last card - mine - oops! I forgot to take a picture of my swap card - I used the WATERSIDE RETREAT DSP, and made a masculine card.

During the month of June (2026) the prize I am offering will be the BBQ MASTER BUNDLE

What a fun bundle - perfect for your masculine cards. Father's Day, birthday, etc. All you need to do is place an order with me during the month of June and I will put your name in the drawing to win this very cool bundle.
