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.
While this set is part of a money saving bundle and includes a circle punch I’m only using the stamp set for this card.
Bright and cheerful it’s perfect any time of year and of course who doesn’t love a giraffe? Do you ever stamp onto your Designer Series Papers? Check out the upper panel of Darling Duckling Designer Series Paper that I’ve used for this card. It’s added not only color and texture to the top of this card but also a great backdrop for the foliage I’ve stamped too! Why not give it a try?
Here is my video tutorial for you and a PDF with the supplies, step by step directions, and even the video link so everything is in one place when you are ready to craft.
As I mentioned this card uses my Card Sketch #13. These Sketches are great when you need a little inspiration. I’ve been sharing them with you for a while and if you’d like to make them as a reference for you’re crafting too I’ve got a hand PDF that gives you the measurements and more. Put them on a ring or make this little crate I’ve shared with you to keep them on your desk and have them at your finger tips.
Use the color combinations listed on the PDF and you will have a reference for color combos too!
Cold & Flu season isn’t over yet this winter and so I thought I’d share with you another card I created with the Hugs & Healing Stamp set that has been retired. This card uses my Card Sketch #5 which is a versatile sketch that can be used for all kinds of sets.
Done in our soon to be retiring 2024-2026 In Colors Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink it is perfect for a animal lover this spring.
Here is a quick tutorial for you so you can make this card too.
I’m back with my weekly tutorial and today I’m sharing a fun little card that uses my card sketch #8. I love this sketch for whimsical cards like this using the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).
I find this set a lot of fun to work with the images are fun and the sentiments quirky. They are super for all ages and the young at heart. And it also comes in a money saving bundle with a fun circle punch too if you love punches!
Back to today’s tutorial – want to see this fun little card welcoming a new little one?
This card was done in traditional baby colors using the Brights family – you’ll see that the colors Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green have been used. All bright cheerful colors perfect for this type of card.
You’ll love the color family packs of Designer Series Paper that have all 10 colors in them along with 4 fun patterns – they are great when wanting to build your collection and are very versatile too since they come in a 6×6 stack.

My daughter loves the zoo and always has. When traveling she tries to visit the local zoo or one on the way to her destination. So when I saw the Silly Safari Bundle (165260) in the 2025 Annual Catalog I just knew it was one I had to have!
So for today’s card I’ve used one of my Card Sketches and the sweet little leopard image.
a great starter set since it has a variety of all occasion sentiments we need often through the year.
The card uses the bold Full of Life Designer Series Paper (163357) with its fun patterns and a card sketch too. I’ll share that information with you later for now here is the card.

I’ve been sharing my card sketches with you over the past months and today I’m going to share one of the ways I store them on my desk with this cute little crate I decorated.
I’ve used a inexpensive wooden crate that I found at my local dollar store to decorate and have given you a PDF that even has the labels that you can die cut in both black and Blackberry Bliss so you can choose how you decorate your little crate. Simply print the PDF you want on Basic White Card stock and go!
These card sketches are great for inspiration and having them handy on my desk makes it easy to get started!
I’ve punched a hole on them and put them on a ring to keep them together so they sit up nicely in my wooden crate.
