Floral Window Card

Sunday, August 9, 2026

The majority of the time when I am in my craft room I am preparing for classes (Tuesdays Come Stamp With Me classes, retreats, specialty classes, etc) so I rarely spend time creating something just for me (for my card rack - to sell, or to send, etc.)

I saw this card from Peggy Noe, and I only had enough DSP for three cards, but I loved it and wanted to give it a try. The NATURES WALK DSP is on sale now for 15% off. Check out the PAPER SALE HERE

I did change up the small flower dies to use a retired one I had on hand since I did not have the HEIRLOOM BOUTIQUE DIES. I changed up the style of the ribbon as well making it a double bow instead of two separate bows. I didn't have the same "bling" for the centers of the flowers so I used what I had on hand.

The sentiment and the large. flowers came from FRAMED VIOLETS, but I used LINKED TOGETHER for the small flowers

The leaves are from two separate die sets: FERN & FLORA and BOUTIQUE BLOSSOMS, both from Pool Party card stock.

The EVERYDAY ARCHES DIES are cut from Lost Lagoon card stock.

Framed Violets Birthday Card

Tuesday, August 4, 2026

I think that the FRAMED VIOLETS Bundle and the VIOLET DREAMS Designer Paper is one of my all time favorites

INSIDE:

This beautiful card was inspired by TaraBeth, and I fell in love with it.

TaraBeth did not share her measurements so I figured out what I thought was best and am sharing that with you in case you also want to case this card.

Base: Barely Blush 5-1/2 x 8-1/2

Secret Sea: 5-1/16 x 3-7/8

Designer Paper (IN COLOR GINGHAM GALLERY) 4-7/8 x 3-11/16

INSIDE: Secret Sea 5-1/4 x 4

Basic White: 5-1/8 x 3-7/8

Designer Paper: (VIOLET DREAMS) 5-1/8 x 3/4

The flowers were colored in with the Barely Blush Stampin' Blends and the leaves were colored in with the Peaceful Pines Stampin' Blends.

The extra 3 leaves were die cut from Peaceful Pines card stock and the Framed Violets Dies.

The Oval and sentiment were both stamped with Secret Sea ink with the scalloped oval die cut using the Framed Violets Dies.

Just 3 little IN COLOR BUTTERFLIES add that special touch.

Framed Violets

Monday, July 6, 2026

There is one Stampin' Up! demonstrator that I enjoy following because she makes such elegant cards, Gail Ellis. She used to be on the Stampin' Up! Artisan team, and I can see why!!

Flowers die cut in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather and the stamped flower is colored in with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.

The background is stamped (Smoky Slate) using a retired stamp set Notes of Texture, and I chose to use the retired Mixed Labels Die for the sentiment as well as the anniversary sentiment from Elegantly Said.

Card #2 is Hydrangea Hue - I love this color!! The Anniversary sentiment is from PHRASES & FRAMES.

This third card I made for a bridal shower to add to the gift I bought for the new bride. I loved it so much that I cut enough for my Tuesday stampers, but put a Happy Birthday sentiment on it instead. The flowers are die cut from Fresh Freesia. The sentiment came from a favorite (but retired) stamp set Wonderful Moments.

For these three cards we used the FRAMED VIOLETS and VIOLET DREAMS DSP. We also used the FERN & FLORA Dies.

Card #2 also uses the BORDERED IN BEAUTY Dies. For the center of the flowers you can use the 2026-2028 In Color Pearls (in Golden Glow) OR you can use the Iridescent Pearls and color them (if desired) with the dark Golden Glow Stampin' Blend.

Just an FYI - Gail doesn't share any details on how to make her cards. I changed up the sentiment on all of them and also changed up the die cuts for the sentiments. She does have a PDF that you can purchase, but I am too stubborn to buy one since I can pretty much figure out how to make things just looking at the photo.
