Creating with Card Sketches

Posted on May 29, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Today I’ve got a quick and easy card for you that I created with my Card Sketch #6. I began sharing this resource with you a couple of years ago already and I really love having these sketches handy to inspire me for quick and simple cards.

I love the All Aflutter Bundle (167570) since it uses a coordinating punch and I’ve included a quick tip in my video tutorial today for perfect punching every time in case you’re having issues with lining them up.

I’ve used the NEW In Color Hydrangea Hue for this card since it is simply beautiful and right on trend along with the fun Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper (167637) with it’s fun little patterns and sprinkling of gold foil for the back drop. After all aren’t those little flowers perfect for this card?

Want to see how I created it? Here is a quick Video Tutorial for you along with the PDF for the Card Sketch too!

Lily of the Valley

Posted on May 28, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

I can remember out apple tree in our back yard as a child and under was endless Lily of the Valley every June that had those delicate little bells. As an adult carried them in my wedding bouquet and after I planted them under our oak tree in the backyard and watched them fill the space over the 19 years we lived in our first home. So the Valley in Bloom Suite with is color washed images (167951) brings back a lot of special memories for me.

Today’s card uses this lovely image and simple stamping to create this lovely card.

Done in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock the delicate flowers are the focal point and framed with the Sweet Words & Labels Dies (Online Exclusive 167627).

If you haven’t seen the Sweet Words & Labels Dies (Online Exclusive 167627) I think they make a great all purpose set of dies as it’s a set filled with labels that would be great for cutting out sentiments and images like this. And the lovely details around the edges of some of the dies adds a wonderful detail to the labels.

If you like dies like this why not stop by my Online Store and check out this versatile set for your use while crafting? And great news it is part of a bundle that also has wonderful sentiments too!

Fern & Flora

Posted on May 26, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Do you like basic stamping or is your favorite Designer Series Paper on back order? If you haven’t used simple stamping to create a back drop for your focal point today’s card shows you just how simple it can be.

For this card the first layer ferns were stamped onto Soft Sea Foam with Peaceful Pine Classic Ink randomly. Then the texture stamp was stamped onto punchout out circles using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 119850) and 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) circles. The Petal Pink circles were the stamped tone on tone using the texture image from the set. The images and sentiment were stamped onto Pool Party and die cut using the coordinating dies. Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends were used to color the flowers along with the new White Gel Pens (166642) used to color the buds that makes them pop. A simple Iridescent Pearls (158987) bring in the white again along with the moth that has a touch of Pool Party added to him.

Simple stamping is a great way to get started creating and allows us to use just the stamp set and dies brining us back to how we started stamping years ago. So why not give it a try?

Sunset Coast

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday, I shared a lovely card using the Waterside Retreat Suite (167932) so today I thought I’d share another water themed suite with you, the Scenic Coast Suite (167786).

This Suite contains a Specialty Designer Series Paper that is sure to be very popular! Want to see the card?

Here we go – I love the ease of this card and the use of the Party Banner Dies (165264) for a different take.

This card uses a bit of simple stamping right onto the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (167773) and a sailboat die cut from Secret Sea Card stock. This die cut gives a bit of texture and has used Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (141897) to make it shine.

This card transports me right back to the beach, warm summer nights, and enjoying the sunsets. How about you?

Relaxing Waterside

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Ahh… the start of summer. I can’t believe Memorial Day is Monday already. My how the spring has flown. School is coming to the end, graduations are in full swing and the temperatures are rising. And Memorial Day always means the start of those days on the water or at least has me dreaming of them. Whether the beach, lake, or pool it begins our lazy summer days.

So today’s card uses products found in the Relaxing Waterside Bundle (167928).

While this stamp set is part of a Bundle the card uses just stamping and a simple masking technique using dies to create this wonderfully relaxing image.

How was the arched background done? First the Everyday Arches Dies (Online Exclusive 164629) was cut and the negative space was used as a mask to fill with color. A strip of Masking Paper (155480) makes an easy boundary for each of the 3 colors.

Then the Chair was stamped and colored using our Stampin’ Blends I love the way Ann used the Pecan Pie and Deep Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (158158) gives it such a realistic wood look.

What do you think? Want to give this fun technique on a try on your own using this bundle? Why not stop by my Online Store and check out the Waterside Retreat Suite (167932) today? And get started on your own summertime projects?

And remember when looking for a popular Suite like this one is sure to be, if it’s on back order check out the individual items too, sometimes it is just one product is the reason it’s on backorder and you can still find the others products in stock. The 10% discount is on the Bundle, not the entire Suite. And of course you can always enter your email to be notified when that product arrives back in stock.

Beautifully Ordinary All Aflutter

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

Do you love butterflies? If so you’ll love the All Aflutter Bundle (167570) found in our May-August Mini.

And if you love punches like I do you’ll love this bundle too!

Today’s card teams up the All Aflutter Bundle (167570) with the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (167553) which has a great variety of patterns allowing you to create all kind of cards and projects that have completely different designs to them simply by switching out the paper. You’ll see this paper popping up in projects I’m sharing over the next few weeks.

Today’s card teams up the strips and black and white pattern as a back drop.

It also uses the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive 167196) as a background for this project giving it lots of texture and interest. A bit of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (141897) adds some shine and the Array of Dots (167559) a fun pop of color and shine.

I love the fact these butterflies are not stamped in a traditional neutral like black, instead they are stamped in Pretty Peacock that feels softer and looks great with the color combination used for the card. How about you?

Friendly Foliage Masking Technique

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Stamp with Jini

I’m loving the new 2026 In Colors. How about you? There is nothing like new color to freshen up our color pallet and so I find myself reaching for them and trying different combinations. So today’s tutorial uses two of our NEW In Colors Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine to create a Get Well Card for a family friend.

I’ve chosen to pull out the Friendly Foliage stamp set (Online exclusive 167021) and a simple technique for this card. Don’t you just love the sentiments in this set – a little bit of everything that we need to create those special cards.

I’ve chosen to team it up with the now retired Textured Notes Dies for this technique, but you could use any die set you choose or shape for that matter. I wanted a rectangle since it mimicked the outline on the stamped image.
