Unlock Your Creativity with a Collage Card Using Textured Notes!

 Hi Friends!

If you love a card design that lets your creativity run wild, this one's for you! In this week's live demonstration, I featured the Textured Notes bundle to create a stunning collage card that is only limited by your imagination.

Collage-style cards are the perfect way to mix and match elements, layer textures, and play with different layouts. Whether you want to add bold stamped images, subtle background details, or unexpected pops of color, this technique makes every card completely unique. The best part? There’s no right or wrong way to do it.

In the video tutorial below, I’ll show you how to build a collage card step by step using the Textured Notes bundle. You’ll see how to combine different stamped elements, add depth with layering, and create a one-of-a-kind design that’s full of personality.

If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with a more freeform approach to card making, now is the perfect time. Grab your favorite supplies, dive into the tutorial, and let your creativity take over. I can’t wait to see what you create!

How to Make Stunning Fun Fold Birthday Cards with a Unique Twist

 Hi Friends!

Looking for a fresh way to use your dies? This week's live demonstration was all about stepping outside the box with the Birthday Celebrations bundle and the Linked Together dies. This fun fold card takes designer paper to the next level, creating a dynamic layout that showcases patterns beautifully. But the real showstopper? An unexpected use of the Linked Together dies that adds a unique touch you won’t see coming.

One of my favorite techniques in this card is “embossing with die cuts.” If you’ve never tried this before, get ready to be amazed! This trick adds subtle texture and dimension without overpowering your design, making it a must-try for any crafter.

Here's the full supply list and measurements, so you can recreate this card with ease.

In the video tutorial below, I walk you through every step of creating this fun fold, including how to make the most of your Linked Together dies and how to master the embossing technique. You’ll also find the full supply list and measurements, so you can recreate this card with ease.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just love a creative challenge, this design is one you’ll want to add to your collection. Give it a try and let me know how it inspires your next project!

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.
