Handmade Birthday Card with Painterly Pears Designer Paper | Live Stamping Tutorial

 Hi Friends!

Today I’m excited to share a handmade card I created during my live stamping demonstration using the Painterly Pears Designer Paper. This project is all about showing that you don’t need a lot of supplies to make something truly beautiful. The designer paper takes center stage, and with just a few added touches, the result is a bright and fresh birthday card.



The Painterly Pears paper brings a soft painterly style with fruit and floral designs that make cardmaking quick and easy. For this card, I paired the paper with a simple sentiment and a few finishing details that highlight the natural beauty of the design.

This week I’ll be sharing two cards that focus on letting the paper shine, and this is the first one. Whether you’re new to cardmaking or have been creating for years, this card shows how fun and approachable stamping can be. Check back on Friday for #2!

You’ll find the step-by-step video tutorial linked below, along with all the measurements, supplies, and tips to help you create your own version of this card.

How to create a quick and easy Christmas card using the Scenic Wonders bundle!

 Hi Friends!

Today’s card is all about fresh air, open skies, and a touch of adventure! I pulled out the Scenic Adventure bundle and paired it with the gorgeous Cloud Cover, which adds so much depth and peace. The trees are both stamped and die cut in the dreamy Secret Sea, giving the whole design a soft, serene feeling that feels like a perfect day outdoors.


This card is a wonderful way to showcase how beautifully stamps, dies, and background elements can work together to create a truly unique design. I’ll be sharing all the measurements, and supplies below so you can recreate it for yourself.

The Scenic Adventure bundle is one of those sets that can go in so many directions—think masculine cards, outdoor-themed designs, or just when you want to capture a moment of peace and calm in nature. I know you’re going to love making this one!


List of Supplies:

  • Stamps:  Scenic Adventure bundle and Jolly Holly
  • Ink:  Secret Sea, Cherry Cobbler
  • Paper: Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Gray Granite, Basic White
  • Other: Birchwood embossing folder, Wink of Stella

Measurements:

  • Cloud Cover       8-1/2 x 5-1/2 and 5-1/4 x 4
  • Secret Sea          2 x 3
  • Gray Granite      3 x 1-1/2
  • Basic White       5-1/4 x 4 and 3 x 4  and  1/2 x 1-1/4

Instructions:

  1. Emboss the Cloud Cover piece with the Birchwood embossing folder
  2. Die cut the double trees out of the Secret Sea cardstock
  3. Rip the Gray Granite cardstock to make a snow bank and lay it onto the 3 x 4 Basic White piece and draw a light pencil line at the top to indicate where to stamp the trees
  4. Stamp the trees in Secret Sea along the line you drew, stamp in various strengths of ink
  5. Adhere the snowbank to the card front
  6. Adhere the die cut trees using dimensionals
  7. Attach the art piece to the embossed piece using dimensionals
  8. Adhere to the card front
  9. Stamp the Merry and Christmas onto the 1/2 x 1-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink, and attach to the card front using Stampin' Seal
  10. Add Wink of Stella to the trees
  11. Stamp the Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 piece with the trees stamp in Secret Sea ink, and attach to the inside of the card.
  12. Stamp the trees on an envelope to match

I can’t wait to see what you create with this combination of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. It’s such a beautiful pairing that makes the trees stand out while keeping the whole design balanced and soft.

Create Stunning Christmas Cards with This Surprising Technique

 Hi Friends!

Let’s add some holiday cheer with a handmade Christmas card that’s just as fun to make as it is to give! During my latest live stamping demonstration, I featured this bold and beautiful “Merry Christmas” card using the Jolly Holly Hybrid bundle, Party Alphabet dies, and the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper (now retired).



At first glance, this festive card looks simple, but don’t be fooled—there’s a sneaky little technique hiding in there that makes it extra special! I’ll walk you through exactly how to create this look during the video tutorial, and we’ll even kick things up a notch by making a second version using a jaw-dropping new paper that’s coming in the September–December Mini Catalogue. Oh my goodness, it is SO good—you’re going to want it all!

I love how the large die-cut “M” and “C” create the perfect canvas for the greenery and shimmer from the Season of Green & Gold paper to shine. Layering them over a holly-embossed background gives the card texture and depth, while those stitched sentiment blocks bring everything together with a polished finish.

If you want a Christmas card that’s fresh, fun, and fabulously festive, this one’s for you. Whether you're crafting for friends, family, or your own card stash, this is a holiday design you’ll come back to again and again.

Watch the full live replay below for the complete step-by-step tutorial, including supply list and measurements!
