Woolly Friends Faux Flocking Card

Posted on April 28, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Today I wanted to share a card with you that I received in my swap using the Faux Flocking Technique. It’s so stinking cute! I just love this little lamb in the Woolly Friends Bundle (166888).

While this flocking technique has been around for awhile it’s use on this card drew my attention back to it again. The last time I saw it I was using a little edge Destressing Edge tool that Stampin’ Up! had back in the day. Today’s card uses a cheese grater to create the fluff. How cute right?

this card also uses the fun Old Olive Specialty Rickrack (167006) giving the card tons of texture.

While this card has lots of texture and layers it is really quite simple to do. The first two lambs are stamped and colored with a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. While this stamp set is a two step set a mask was created for the lambs face so the body wouldn’t cover it and the blends gives you a bit more control since it has the row of flowers that were stamped along the bottom. You’ll want to cover these also stamping the 2 lambs.

Next the lambs bodies and heads were stamped and punched out. A bit of the card stock fuzz was added and allowed to dry and then added to the card front. The

Adorable right? Who wouldn’t love to get one of these cards? I can’t wait to try this fun technique with my distressing tool and might even pull out my grater to see which I like better, about you?

Let’s Compare the New 2026 In Colors

Posted on April 21, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

I recently got my preorder for the New 2026 May-August Mini Catalog and I can say I love the new In Colors for 2026-2028.

They are not only beautiful colors that add to our color line up, but there isn’t anything like them really either.

So lets compare! I’ll start with the softest of the colors Barely Blush first –

The first picture shows the color with our current color collection.

And the second picture shows with our past colors that have been retired

Next up our returning Crisp Cantaloupe which was a returning In Color

and here it is again with retired colors

I love the warm Golden Glow and can’t wait to add it to my fall color pallet. Once again with current colors first.

And with our past colors that have been retired.

And the lovely Peaceful Pine

And with past retired colors

And finally the beautiful Hydrangea Hue – this color called to me the first time I saw it, after all everyone loves a shade of blue, right?

Again with our past retired colors.

As you can see these New In Colors really don’t look like current or past colors and stand all on their own – I think you’ll fall in love with them just like I have. I’ve been having a lot of fun creating with them and can’t wait to share them with you in my May Classes and upcoming tutorials too!

I’ve used my color swatches that I share with you each year when our New colors are released along with the labels so that you can create your own. Watch for my Organization items coming in May or get your swatches free when you place an order with me or during my May Classes.

Watch for my upcoming Card Class information coming soon that will highlight these lovely NEW colors

Floral Impressions Kindness Card Tutorial

Posted on April 17, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is perfect for spring and reminds me of my mother who always looked forward to those first flowers popping up in the spring.

This card uses my Card Sketch #2 making it a great way to create quick and simple cards like this one that highlight our Designer Series Paper. I simply did this card in landscape rather than the portrait version.

Here is a quick video tutorial showing you how I created the card and PDF for both the card and Card Sketch.

Lifetime of Love

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy monochromatic card with you using the Lifetime of Love stamp set (Last Chance 162574) so today I thought I’d share another card that was created with this stamp set.

Today’s card has a totally different feel to it since it uses our Petal Pink and Gray Granite to create this lovely wedding card along with a simple masking technique.

The flowers were first stamped onto the Basic White Card stock panel and then a simple mask was used to cover the flowers. After the leaves were stamped using Old Olive to create this layered color look. Fun right? Simply stamp the flower image onto masking paper or a sticky note and cut out and you’re ready to go.

This card is also a fun fold called a joy fold card that is so simple to do! This card uses a 8 inch Basic White panel that has been scored at 4 3/4″. It creates a panel large enough to hide the inside sentiment when the outside sentiment is opened.

Here are a couple of photos showing you the flap portion of the card.

Lovely right? Who wouldn’t enjoy receiving this card on their special day?

Posted on April 15, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

A bit of masking allows you to create this stripe of color using the Summer Splash Classic Ink and our Blender Brushes. A bit of ribbon adds some texture.

Florals in Bloom

Posted on April 7, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Flowers they are a sign that spring is here and they are popping up all over as the weather warms here in North Georgia. Today’s card uses those pretty florals to create a lovely card that will make anyone smile.

Using 3/4″ scraps to create the background for this card it is a great way to use up scraps too. The lovely die cut flower is part of the Pretty Florals Dies (Last Chance 165178) and the fun dots are our 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192). The versatile embossing folder used for this project is the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (Last Chance 161600). It’s great for adding a bit of organic texture on all kinds of projects.

Did you know that the Sweet Blooms Bundle (Last Chance 165186)
