A Stunning Twist: Fault Line Technique with Gallery Blooms

Hi Friends!

While we’re away this week, I still have something beautiful to share with you—a striking birthday card created with the Gallery Blooms bundle using the eye-catching Fault Line technique. This design is all about bold contrast and letting the gorgeous textures and colors shine through a dramatic torn-paper effect.

The background has been lightly embossed to add subtle texture, while that vivid pink and gold marbled paper peeks through the “fault line” across the front of the card. I added detailed peony blooms from the Gallery Blooms bundle for a strong focal point, giving the whole card a rich, layered feel. A simple “Happy Birthday” sentiment finishes it off perfectly.

This card was part of a special online Team event back in May, and I’m excited to share the tutorial with you! If you’ve never tried the fault line technique before, this is your chance to see just how fun and effective it can be. Whether you’re a seasoned cardmaker or just starting out, I think you’ll love the creative possibilities it offers.

You’ll find the full video tutorial below, along with tips and a closer look at how it all came together. Be sure to bookmark this one—it’s a real showstopper.

How to Create a Stunning Handmade Card with Gallery Blooms and Everyday Arches Dies

 Hi Friends!

Want to learn how one swap card turned into a popular project in my senior craft class?

A few weeks ago, I received a beautiful swap card from my crafty friend Leanne Livingstone, and the moment I saw it, I knew it was something special. It had this soft, floral elegance with just the right pop of color—perfect for spring, summer, or any occasion. 

We recreated it during my Seniors Stamp Crafts class, and let me tell you, it was an absolute hit. The joy on everyone’s face as they layered, embossed, and assembled was everything. 

We used the Gallery Blooms bundle paired with the Everyday Arches dies, and the combination gave this card a fresh, dimensional look that’s surprisingly easy to pull off. It’s one of those designs that makes you look like a pro—even if you’re just getting started.

I’ll be showing exactly how to make this card during my live stamping demo this Thursday evening—so grab your stamps, pour your favorite drink, and come craft along with me! Whether you're a card-making newbie or longtime stamper, you’re going to love this one.

Sliding Spotlight Z Fold Card with Gallery Blooms Bundle | Featuring Timid Tiger In Color

 Hi Friends!

If you love a card that moves and surprises, then you're going to want to try this one. During a recent live stamping demonstration, I shared a brand new fun fold I’m calling the Sliding Spotlight Z Fold. It was such a hit with viewers that the name stuck, and I’m pretty sure this one is an original. There’s just something exciting about a card that does more than open and close, don’t you think?

I featured the Gallery Blooms bundle for this project and paired it with the sweet and fun new In Color, Timid Tiger. This shade brings a fresh and modern feel to the design, while all the white space keeps it clean and elegant. I added just a hint of texture using the Pressed Flowers embossing folder on the white center panel of the sliding frame, and it’s the kind of subtle detail that makes a big impact.

If you missed my Monday night live, don’t worry—the video tutorial is linked below so you can catch the full demonstration. I walk you through how to create this unique Sliding Spotlight Z Fold card from start to finish using the Gallery Blooms bundle. The tutorial includes a complete supply list and all the measurements you'll need to recreate this design using the bold new Timid Tiger In Color, a touch of Pressed Flowers embossing, and plenty of clean white space to make it all pop.
