Soft & Sweet Monochromatic Scalloped Blooms

Posted on by

Today’s card is done in Crisp Cantaloupe and fun soft color that reminds me of a summer color pallet.

It also uses our fun patterns from the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper (167755) and shows off these bold patterns well.

The versatile stamp set Scalloped Blooms Bundle (167467) uses a lovely font and has all occasions sentiments, while the dies are great basic shapes, making it a wonderful staple for your crafting needs.

What do you think? Do you love monochromatic cards like this? I love the ease of creating a monochromatic card and the impact the color makes.

Extraordinary Life

Today’s card is a clean and simple layout that sends a lovely message and it uses a Designer Series Paper that is part of our Sale this month, the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (167553).

I love the patterns in this paper pack there is such a variety to choose from, making it a wonderful choice since each paper gives you a different feel for your project.

The sentiment from the Extraordinary Life stamp set (167713) is stamped in Golden Glow for a bolder sentiment it pulls out the Daffodil Delight strip from this paper.

And the cute little embellishments, Dreamy Flowers (167916) gives it some fun texture and interest too. I love the way we can mix and match our products!

Sunset Coast Torn Edge Technique Card Tutorial

Posted on by

I’ve got another fun card using the Sunset Coast Dies (167780) for you today this time using a quick and simple technique.

The torn edge – I love this technique since it always gives you a little different look based on how you tear the card stock. Now, when I was new to stamping this really bothered me as I wanted all my cards to look the same, but once you embrace the inconstancy you’ll find yourself tearing away!

Want to see the card? Here you go

I really like the way it turned out since the torn edge feels very natural to me.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve got a little video tutorial for you. And of course, a PDF too!

Done in cheerful Crisp Cantaloupe, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple this card swings open on the top and bottom allowing the inside sentiment to peek out.

Happiest Birthday Wishes with Phrases & Frames

Posted on by

Wow, what a crazy storm last night. The lightning and thunder went on for hours lighting up the sky for miles. We were under a tornado warning here at my house like so many have been lately. While the power companies work to restore the outages I count us among the lucky. Since our internet just came back up I thought I’d share with you a fun card with a little extra ump today.

Clean and simple, this card uses a pattern from the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper (167702). The way this card uses this pattern it has a masculine feel to me, how about you? Done in Misty Moonlight and Pool Part the extra ump comes from the Phrases & Frames Impression Dies (167586).

This set of dies uses a fun Impressions Plate (167767) that really makes the special impressions dies pop! And the pop is built right in to them. When you use them as always the extra detail is subtle, but when you use them with the Impressions Plate, wow! You can sure see the difference.

I love layouts like this – clean and simple and the surprise is all the texture of this little die set. A card sure to please that special birthday boy.

So if you’re looking for something fun to add to your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and Dies this might be just the add on your looking for. Why not stop by my Online store and check it out today?
