Creating Beautiful Alternative Cards with the March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Daisy Daydream

 Hi Friends!

Who doesn’t love a little creative freedom? This week, I went live with the March Paper Pumpkin kit – Daisy Daydream, and we had the best time designing alternative card ideas together! There’s something so fun about taking a kit and making it your own, and with the gorgeous daisies, soft colors, and fresh spring vibe, the possibilities were endless.




One of my favorite things about Paper Pumpkin is that you can follow the instructions or let your creativity run wild. And during this live stamping session, that’s exactly what we did! With input from viewers, we experimented with new layouts, mixed and matched pieces, and created alternative cards that turned out absolutely beautiful.

This kit is packed with stunning floral elements, intricate details, and soft, dreamy colors that make every project feel like a breath of fresh air. Whether you love bold, bright daisies or soft, subtle florals, there’s something for everyone in this kit. And of course, no card is complete without a little extra magic on the inside, so we made sure every design was finished inside and out.

If you’ve got the Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit and are looking for new ways to use it, you’re going to love these ideas. And if you missed the live, don’t worry—you can watch the full tutorial below and craft along with me!

Check out the pictures of the cards we created and catch the replay to see all the fun alternative ideas in action. Whether you’re using the kit as is or putting your own spin on it, this Paper Pumpkin is packed with inspiration!

A Gorgeous Handmade Card with the Changing Leaves Bundle – Get It Before It’s Gone!

 Hi Friends!

If you love creating beautiful, seasonal cards, you’re going to want to grab the Changing Leaves bundle before it disappears! This stunning set has been one of my favorites, and on this week’s Make It Monday live stamping, I shared a gorgeous card that highlights its delicate details and rich textures.


And the best part? It’s on the Last Chance List and deeply discounted, which means it won’t be around for long!

There’s something so special about handmade cards that celebrate the beauty of nature. The Changing Leaves bundle makes it effortless to create elegant, textured designs perfect for birthdays, thinking-of-you cards, or even fall-inspired thank-you notes. The intricate dies and detailed stamps bring a touch of nature’s magic to every project, and I had so much fun putting this card together during my live tutorial.

The outside of the card is all about layers and dimension, with a stunning leaf arrangement that practically jumps off the page. And because no card is complete without a little extra love, the inside has a beautifully coordinated design that ties everything together perfectly.

This bundle is truly a must-have for any paper crafter who loves timeless, nature-inspired designs. And with such an incredible discount, it’s the perfect time to add it to your collection before it’s gone for good!

Check out the pictures of this stunning card below, and watch the full video tutorial to see exactly how it all comes together. If you love this look, grab the Changing Leaves bundle while you still can—it won’t be here much longer! Make sure you grab the stamp set and dies separately as you will enjoy a bigger discount than ordering the bundle!

Craft a Mesmerizing White on White Card with Vibrant Highlights: A Step-by-Step Guide

 Hi Friends!

In my latest Facebook and YouTube live demonstration, I had the pleasure of “casing the creator” by taking inspiration from a beautiful card made by my friend Kim Myers. I created my own version using the Happy Hibiscus bundle, and of course, I had to add my signature touch by crafting it in what I call "Glenda Colours"—a stunning white on white design with pops of vibrant colour.


This technique is perfect for creating elegant, clean cards that still have that "wow" factor. By starting with a simple white-on-white base, you can use a burst of colour to really make your focal point stand out. The Happy Hibiscus bundle is the ideal stamp set and die combination for this kind of design, thanks to its delicate flowers and intricate detailing.

I love how this card turned out—clean, classy, and absolutely striking. On the front, I used the hibiscus image as the centerpiece, adding layers of dimension and texture while keeping everything cohesive with that fresh white backdrop. The pops of colour come from strategically adding colour to the flowers and leaves, creating a beautiful contrast that still feels soft and sophisticated.

The inside of the card mirrors the elegance of the front, with just a hint of the same colours used for the flowers, keeping the design consistent while still leaving lots of space for a handwritten note. I really enjoy the process of taking a wonderful card idea and making it my own, and I hope you’ll love this version as much as I do.

You can follow along with the step-by-step tutorial in the video below to make your own white on white card with pops of colours using the Happy Hibiscus bundle. I’ve shared pictures of both the front and inside of the card, so you can see every detail up close. Be sure to watch the tutorial to learn tips and tricks for creating a similar card in your own style.

How to Make an Easy Front Anchor Easel Fun Fold Card with a Spring Twist

Hi Friends!

Monday morning’s live stamping was all about keeping it simple, stylish, and just a little unexpected. I showed how to create a Front Anchor Easel fun fold card, and if you haven’t tried this one yet, you’re in for a treat. It’s one of those folds that looks impressive but is incredibly easy to put together—perfect for when you want a little extra wow without the extra effort.





I paired this fun fold with the Spring Corners bundle, and let me tell you, it was the perfect match. Delicate floral designs, soft details, and endless versatility made this card come to life. But here’s where it gets even better—I used the Winter Meadows designer paper, and trust me when I say this paper is not just for winter. With its soft washes of color and elegant patterns, it works beautifully for spring cards too. It’s always fun to take a product beyond its intended season, and this was the perfect way to do it.

If you're ready to try this Front Anchor Easel fun fold for yourself, I’ve got you covered. Here’s the full list of supplies and measurements I used so you can easily recreate the look. Whether you stick with the soft, spring-like vibe or put your own spin on it, having everything laid out makes crafting even more fun. You’ll find all the details in the video, but I love making it easy for you to dive right in and start stamping.

This fun fold is all about giving your card an interactive twist while keeping the process simple. It’s the kind of design that makes people stop and say, “Wait, how did you do that?”—and I’m here to show you exactly how. If you missed the live, don’t worry—you can catch the replay below. Grab your favorite crafting drink, hit play, and let’s make something beautiful together!

Storybook Magic Meets a Tri-Fold Shutter Fun Fold – Watch the Replay!

Hi Friends!

If you love a good fun fold (and let’s be real, who doesn’t?), then you’re in for a treat! Last Wednesday, I went live with a brand-new card featuring the Storybook Friends bundle, and let me tell you—it’s a showstopper. This tri-fold shutter fun fold is packed with layers, dimension, and just the right amount of whimsy to make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into a charming little storybook scene.





Now, if you’ve never tried a tri-fold shutter card before, don’t worry—I walk you through it all in the video, and it’s way easier than it looks. Seriously, the hardest part is deciding which adorable images to feature because Storybook Friends is overflowing with cuteness. From sweet little animals to playful accents, this bundle brings that nostalgic, hand-illustrated feel to your cards in the best way possible.

And because I always love to mix things up, I also showed how this fun fold works with the Wildflower Birthday suite. Talk about versatility! With its fresh floral designs and soft watercolor elements, this version has a completely different feel—more like a blooming spring garden than a storybook illustration. Whether you love the sweet charm of Storybook Friends or the delicate beauty of Wildflower Birthday, this video has plenty of inspiration to get your creativity flowing.

If you're ready to give this tri-fold shutter card a try, I've got you covered. Here’s the full list of supplies and measurements I used so you can easily recreate the look. Whether you're team Storybook Friends or Wildflower Birthday, having everything laid out makes crafting even more fun. You’ll find all the details in the video, but I love making it easy for you to dive right in and start stamping.


This card has plenty of space for stamping, layering, and playing with colors, and once it’s folded out, the design does all the talking. It’s one of those “WOW” cards that looks impressive but is totally doable with a few simple tips (which I share in the video, of course).

If you missed the live, don’t worry—you can catch the replay below. Trust me, you’re going to want to see this one in action. Grab your favorite crafting drink, hit play, and let’s make some magic together!
