Friendly Foliage Masking Technique

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.

Easter Joy Shutter Card Tutorial

Today I’m sharing a quick and simple technique to create a fun camera shutter look. This technique is sooo simple but is defiantly a wow technique that I’m sure you’ll want to give it a go too!

I’ve used the Easter Joy Suite (166954) to create this card as it is filled with all kinds of goodies for Easter crafting.

The Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (166939) is a thicker paper than our regular Designer Series Paper making it perfect for 3d projects too. And the colors are quite wonderful for spring. The package also contains 2 sheets of quick project options as you can see behind the stamp set above.

I’ve used the fun colorful pattern with carrots, eggs, and flowers and chose the coordinating Peach Pie card stock to create the card’s shutter effect with.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can see just how simple this technique is to create!

And of course here is a PDF for you that has the supply list, measurements, and even the link to the video. So why not give this easy little technique a try?
