How to Create the Carved Wood Technique with the Sunflower Embossing Folder for Stunning Handmade Cards

Hi Friends!

Today I’m excited to share a unique technique that brings incredible texture and depth to your handmade cards—the Carved Wood Technique using the Sunflower Embossing Folder.

During my recent live stamping demonstration, I walked through how to achieve this eye-catching carved wood effect. It transforms the Sunflower Embossing Folder into something completely new and unexpected. The result is a beautiful sunflower design that looks as if it’s been delicately etched into woodgrain, giving your card a warm, rustic elegance that’s perfect for so many occasions.

For my finished project, I paired this gorgeous embossed background with the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies to create the bold “Hello” greeting. The combination of rich yellows, gold highlights, and intricate textures makes this card a real showstopper.

If you’ve been looking for ways to get more creative with your embossing folders or want to add a fresh twist to your card-making, this technique is definitely worth trying. The Sunflower Embossing Folder is a standalone product, so it’s easy to pair with any sentiment or embellishments you love.

I’ll include the full video tutorial below so you can watch step-by-step how this Carved Wood Technique comes together. It’s a wonderful way to elevate your crafting and surprise friends and family with cards that truly stand out.

Thanks for joining me in the craft room today, and I hope this project inspires you to try something new with your embossing folders. Keep crafting and stay tuned for more fun ideas coming soon!

Kintsugi Nested Box Pop-Out Card with Inspiring Imperfections Bundle

Hi Friends!

Today I’m sharing another card that I attempted to demonstrate live while we were away, but unfortunately the video quality didn’t turn out as planned. This card is just too pretty not to give it a proper spotlight, so I’ve redone the demonstration and included a clear video tutorial at the end of this post.

The card features the gorgeous Kintsugi Inspirations Suite and the Inspiring Imperfections bundle, and it uses a fun fold called the Nested Box Pop-Out. This fold adds such a beautiful dimensional surprise when the card is opened, and it perfectly complements the elegance and strength of the kintsugi theme.

I received a card with this fold from Holly J for my birthday! 

I had so much fun creating this one. The gold foiling on the specialty designer paper adds a lovely shine, and the mix of vases with kintsugi-style "repairs" brings a meaningful touch to the design. It’s one of those cards that feels both intricate and heartfelt, which makes it perfect for celebrating life’s beautiful imperfections.

Here's a photo of the supplies and measurements used so you can easily recreate it. This project really highlights how you can take a suite and bring it to life with just a few thoughtful details and a unique fold.

Be sure to scroll down and check out the video tutorial for the full walkthrough. I hope it inspires you to try this fold and fall in love with the Kintsugi Suite all over again.

Elegant Thank You Card with Kintsugi Inspirations Suite and Inspiring Imperfections

 Hi Friends!

During my Monday live demonstration, I revisited a card that’s simply too beautiful not to share again. This stunning Thank You card was originally created by my talented friend Valerie Barker, and I first demonstrated it a couple of weeks ago while we were away. Unfortunately, the video quality wasn’t quite up to my usual standards, so I decided it deserved a proper spotlight with a brand new video tutorial.

This card showcases the gorgeous Kintsugi Inspirations Suite which includes the Inspiring Imperfections bundle from Stampin’ Up! The combination of the suite’s luxurious specialty paper, elegant gold foil accents, and those delicate, intricate vase designs makes for an absolutely breathtaking project. It’s one of those cards that’s perfect for sending gratitude in style and sure to impress anyone who receives it.

I love how Valerie’s design balances rich detail with clean, sophisticated lines, letting the beautiful gold-embossed florals and kintsugi-inspired details shine. It’s a card that looks like a piece of art and yet is entirely achievable with the right tools and a few fun techniques.

If you missed my live demonstration or just want to see it again, scroll down for the brand new video tutorial where I walk you through every step to recreate this gorgeous card yourself.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this project inspires you to create something beautiful and share a little handmade kindness.

Charming Alternatives: June 2025 Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin Kit Meets Floral Charm Suite

Hi Friends!

The June 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Full of Charm, is an absolute delight, and I had such a wonderful time creating alternative cards with it during my Facebook Live last Tuesday. If you missed the live, don’t worry—I’ll be adding the video replay at the bottom of this post so you can catch all the fun and inspiration.

This month’s kit is called Full of Charm, and it truly lives up to its name. One of the things that makes this kit extra special is that it coordinates beautifully with the brand new Floral Charm Suite launching in July. That opens up so many creative possibilities for mixing and matching the kit elements with the suite’s gorgeous papers, stamps, and dies.

During my live demonstration, I shared how to stretch your Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit even further by creating three unique alternative cards. I love finding ways to show you how versatile these monthly kits can be, whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started. The colors, delicate floral images, and charming details in this kit pair so perfectly with the upcoming suite, giving your projects an elegant, cohesive look.

I hope these alternative ideas spark your creativity and help you see just how much value there is in each Paper Pumpkin kit, especially when it coordinates with other products in the Stampin’ Up! lineup. If you’re thinking about grabbing the Floral Charm Suite in July, you’ll definitely want to hang onto your leftover bits and pieces from this month’s kit.  

Refill kits are now available in my Online Store.

Scroll down to watch the video replay and see step-by-step how I created these alternative cards using the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin Kit. Thanks for stopping by the blog today, and happy stamping!

Elegant Triptych Fun Fold Card Featuring the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite

 Hi Friends!

I shared a beautiful Triptych fun fold card during a recent live demonstration using the absolutely stunning Kintsugi Inspirations Suite from Stampin’ Up! This suite has quickly become a favorite of mine with its thoughtful sentiments, unique dies, and luxurious foil-accented paper. There’s something truly special about the blend of elegance and meaning in this suite that makes every card feel like a work of art.

This card showcases the Inspiring Imperfections bundle and is a great example of how you can use the suite’s delicate images and strong lines to create a wow-worthy fun fold. The Triptych design gives the focal point even more visual impact and really brings out the layered elements in a striking, dimensional way.

The designer paper practically does the work for you—it’s that beautiful. I added a few extra details to elevate the design, and the final result is something I think you’ll love recreating.

Here's the supply list and list of measurements I used for this card:

This suite is currently available as part of my August Kintsugi Inspirations Collaboration Class, and the card I created in this video is just one example of what you can make with the products in this suite. The class includes multiple ways to join, from kits to full suite purchases, and even a tutorial-only option.

If you’re looking for a card design that’s elegant, artistic, and surprisingly easy to make, this one is for you.

Bright and Cheery Spring Corners Card with Butterfly Accent – Video Tutorial Included

 Hi Friends!

I had such a lovely time creating this bright and cheerful card during a recent Facebook Live using the Spring Corners bundle. The soft floral details paired perfectly with the pop of black and white gingham ribbon, and of course, that beautiful butterfly adds the perfect touch of whimsy.

This card features one of my favorite layouts for showcasing die-cut elements—clean, bold, and packed with personality. I used some designer paper and Wink of Stella behind the floral cutouts to bring a soft glow of yellow that really makes the flowers shine. And how about that sentiment? I love when you can stamp it vertically along the edge to balance out the design.

It uses the Beautiful Bokeh (pronounced Bo- kay) designer paper on the front, and behind the flower die cut.

The Spring Corners bundle has such versatility, and this project really shows off how easily you can create something elegant and eye-catching without overcomplicating things. Whether you're sending birthday wishes, a thank you, or just a note to brighten someone’s day, this design works beautifully.

Happy stamping, and I hope this inspires you to pull out your Spring Corners bundle and get creating!

Here's the video tutorial, there are 2 cards in this one:

Spotlight On Nature Card with Floating Background Technique – Live Demo Replay

Hi Friends!

Today I'm finally sharing a card that I demonstrated live a little while ago, and I’m so excited to get it up on the blog! This one features the gorgeous Spotlight On Nature bundle and uses one of my favourite techniques—the Floating Background. It adds such a dreamy, dimensional effect that makes your stamped elements look like they’re almost hovering off the page.

This card may look soft and elegant with its pastel palette and delicate leaves, but the real star is the technique. The Floating Background effect is surprisingly easy to create, and I walk you through all the steps in the video tutorial linked below. Whether you're new to it or just looking for a fun way to shake up your background game, you're going to love trying this out.

The Spotlight On Nature bundle has so many versatile pieces that work beautifully for all-occasion cards. I paired it here with the Everyday Details dies to get that stitched arch panel effect that frames everything so perfectly. The inside is finished off simply, with a stamped leafy detail and plenty of space to write a heartfelt message.

If you missed the original live demonstration, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Scroll down to find the full step-by-step video where you can watch the card come together in real time.

Thanks for stopping by to check out today’s project. I hope it inspires you to pull out your Spotlight On Nature bundle and give the Floating Background technique a try. It’s one of those wow-factor finishes that’s easier than it looks—and makes your handmade cards really shine.

Elegant Thank You Card with the Kintsugi Suite and Inspiring Imperfections Bundle

Hi Friends!

There are some cards that just stop you in your tracks—and this one is absolutely one of them. I’m excited to share this beautiful thank you card we created together during my Monday live demonstration, featuring the absolutely breathtaking Kintsugi Suite, including the Inspiring Imperfections bundle, the specialty designer paper, and those stunning flower accents.

This card was a special gift I received from the lovely Valerie Barker and the Stamp Crafts Sunshine Club group. I’ve been volunteering with this group for over 16 years now, and every week, I look forward to our time together. These talented ladies inspire me constantly, and their creativity never fails to warm my heart.

The Kintsugi Suite is pure elegance with a meaningful message. The combination of rich gold foiling, delicate floral touches, and the broken-yet-beautiful pottery design brings so much depth and symbolism. I especially love how the suite encourages us to celebrate imperfection—something I think is such a powerful message in both crafting and life.

If you missed the live demonstration, you’ll definitely want to catch the replay. I walk you through how to recreate this exact card step-by-step, using the Inspiring Imperfections dies and stamps to bring that classic Japanese art style to life.

Whether you’re making thank you cards, encouragement cards, or simply want to create something truly elegant, the Kintsugi Suite is a must-have from the new Stampin’ Up! lineup. You’ll find a link to the full video tutorial below—grab your gold accents and get ready to be inspired!

Thanks for stopping by today—happy stamping, and don’t forget to celebrate the beauty in your own perfectly imperfect creations.

Thinking of You Card with Beautiful Butterflies and Everyday Arches Dies

 Hi Friends!

Sometimes a card comes together just right—and this one has all the soft and sweet vibes I love. I’m so excited to share this “Thinking of You” card today featuring the Beautiful Butterflies bundle paired with the Everyday Arches dies. Isn’t that arch shape the perfect frame for that bright, cheerful butterfly?

I used soft yellows and rich blues to bring a sunny yet calming feel to this design, making it perfect for sending a little heartfelt encouragement. The Everyday Arches dies add such a lovely layered look without being over the top, and I couldn’t resist adding a few finishing touches with gems and stamped details.

If you’ve been looking for a way to spotlight the gorgeous butterflies in this bundle, these arches are a great match. The combination of depth, elegance, and a pop of color makes this card one of my favorites to just sit and admire for a moment.

I hope this inspires you to pull out your butterfly stamps and start playing. The Beautiful Butterflies bundle is a standout all year round, and when paired with a thoughtful sentiment, it’s ideal for sending a smile just when someone needs it.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, and be sure to check out my other recent butterfly and fun fold creations on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. 

Happy stamping!

Explore the Magic of Double Z Fun Fold Cards: Creative Techniques Revealed

 Hi Friends!

Let the adventure begin—with paper, ink, and a touch of crafty magic! Today I’m finally sharing the fun fold card I created during a live demonstration back in February, featuring the Adventure Together bundle. It’s a double Z fun fold card, and it’s bursting with personality and scenic charm.

From the adorable pink and purple motorhome, to the cozy campfire and forest backdrop, this card is ready to inspire wanderlust and warm hearts. Whether you're crafting for a camper, an outdoorsy friend, or someone who loves a good road trip, the Adventure Together bundle has you covered.

Now here's the exciting part—this bundle is currently on the Last Chance List, so if you’ve had your eye on it, don’t wait. Pro tip: it’s actually cheaper right now to buy the stamp set and dies separately rather than as a bundle. Gotta love a crafty deal!

At the end of this post, you’ll find the link to the full video tutorial, where I walk you through each step of creating this fun and interactive card. The double Z fun fold is a showstopper, but I promise it’s easier to make than it looks. You’ll want to make more than one, especially with how perfectly this layout works with the playful outdoor images in this set.

How to Create a Quick and Easy Sunrise Sailing Card Tutorial You Can't Miss!

Hi Friends!

Ahoy, crafty friends! I set sail in the craft room during my Monday live stamping demonstration with this serene and sunny Best Wishes card, created using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle. This bundle is perfect for capturing peaceful nautical vibes and summer adventures, and I loved how this card came together.

We used soft seaside colors, a bright sun to anchor the design, and detailed sailboats that look like they're gliding right into a new beginning. The stamped and die-cut elements work beautifully together in the hybrid bundle, making this a go-to for masculine cards, retirement cards, birthday wishes, or even just to say “thinking of you.”

If you missed the live session, no worries—I’ve linked the full video tutorial below so you can craft along with me anytime. I share step-by-step instructions and tips for layering, ink blending, and getting crisp, clean results with this bundle.

This card is part of my ongoing Sunset & Silhouette Series, where I feature bold silhouettes and dramatic skies to create high-impact cards with easy techniques.

So grab your crafty supplies and join me for a relaxing sail through paper and ink. I hope this project inspires you to create your own coastal scenes with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle.
