Quick & Easy Ornamental Christmas Card

Posted on December 18, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve got another quick and easy card for you today, this time using the Modern Christmas Suite (Online Exclusive 166006).

This Suite is filled with all kinds of products that shine which is perfect for the holidays! Check out today’s card

Some simple stamping is done in Crumb Cake on the card base using the line image along with a strip of the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 165990). The sentiment has been stamped and cut out using the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) and then layered onto a 2 3/8″ Circle Punch (161354) that has been punch from Gold Foil Sheets (132622). A bit of Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon (Online Exclusive 165599) made into a quick look and a Faceted Snowflakes (Online Exclusive 166077) finish it off and give it some texture.

So what do you think? I think this is a great layout that can be used for all kinds of cards simply by switching out the products with your favorites. How about you?

Silly Safari Go Wild Card Tutorial

Posted on June 20, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

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.

I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends to color him so that I’ve got a bold cheerful look as I teamed up the image with one of the NEW patterns found in the Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301).

Here is a quick video tutorial showing how I created this card along with the PDF which contains a complete supply list, link, measurements and more.

And as I mentioned I’ve used a Card Sketch for this project. I’ve been giving you a PDF so you can create one too and use it as a design tool too.

Put it on a ring or place it in my little crate that I shared with you HERE the choice is yours!

And when you create the different Card Sketches you’ll also be using color combinations to inspire you! How fun is that?

Caring Leaves

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Looking for a lovely stamp set for fall that isn’t just for fall? Why not check out the Caring Leaves stamp set (164273)? This set has some lovely sentiments.

Today’s card uses this stamp set and the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (164156) to kick off it’s color choice. I love the way these leaves have all the shading and texture built right into them. And since it is a two step stamp it is easy to use multiple colors to create a fall feel easily.

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive 164138) adds some wonderful texture to the Poppy Parade background layer. And did you know that this Hybrid comes with a set of dies that snap into the embossing folder and cut out the images too. So cool.

The all occasions sentiment is one of the two from the set and has been punched out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 119850) and a bit of our Wild Wheat Jute found in the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) has been tucked behind it.

Like this set too? Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out today?

My card today also uses a sketch. You might be wondering what a sketch is. If you haven’t seen sketches yet, they are a basic design or layout for a card and you’ll be seeing some in our NEW 2024 Annual Catalog on page 22 and throughout the catalog.

Today’s sketch is a quick and easy one that uses punches, but the basic layout is versatile enough that you could swap out the punch for a die, etc – the options are endless with sketches. The sketch is simply to inspire you!

I’ve been sharing these with my Team and thought you’d enjoy them too so I’ll be sharing my sketches with you periodically and will include a PDF with the measurements so that you can create your own sketch to use as a tool. This PDF will allow you to create the sketch, full size, using card stock as a reference tool. You can put in in a “recipe” box or punch a hole in the corner and put them on a ring so you can flip through them. Or if you prefer print the PDF for a note book. The choice is yours! So why not try my sketch out today?

Enjoy. And then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another card tutorial with you!
