Peaceful Dock Card with Soft Layers and Calm Details

 Hi Friends!

Earlier this week, I shared the third card in my Peaceful Dock series, featuring the Peaceful Dock bundle from the January Online Exclusives. This card is all about calm layers, gentle colour, and a peaceful scene that feels timeless and versatile.

The soft background and simple layout allow the stamped images to shine, making this a design that works beautifully for many occasions. It’s a great example of how a few thoughtful layers can create depth without feeling busy.

The video tutorial below walks through the full card, including all the supplies and measurements needed to recreate it.

Peaceful Dock Card with a Stamped Background Using the Boat Image

 Hi Friends!

For this Peaceful Dock card, I focused on creating a background using one simple image. By stamping the boat image multiple times, the background takes on a layered, textured look that feels calm and cohesive without overwhelming the design.

This is a great technique for stretching your stamp sets and creating interest without extra layers or embellishments. It works especially well with scenic images and can easily be adapted using stamps you already have in your collection.

The video tutorial below goes over all the supplies and measurements needed for the card, along with tips for spacing and alignment when creating a stamped background.

As a bonus during the live demonstration, I also created a birthday card using Pride flag colours, designed completely on the fly. This card wasn’t planned ahead of time — it came together organically during the live, and the new Stampin’ Positioner Tool made it easy to line up the images while adjusting the design as I went. It was a fun, creative moment that shows how powerful it can be to simply trust the process and let inspiration guide you.

Inside Pop Up Slider Fun Fold Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle

 Hi Friends!

This Inside Pop Up Slider Card is a fun fold I designed using the Cute As A Bug Suite, featuring the Sweet Bugs bundle. This interactive card has movement and layers, with a surprise pop-up element on the inside that makes it extra fun to open and share.

I walked through the entire design during my recent demonstration, showing how the fold is constructed, how the pieces fit together, and how the Sweet Bugs images and designer paper bring the card to life. This is a great fold to add to your fun fold collection, especially if you enjoy cards that have a little bit of wow without being complicated.

The video tutorial below goes over all the supplies and measurements needed for the card, along with tips to help you recreate the design step by step. You can watch the replay at your own pace and pause as needed while you craft along.

An Alaska Stampin’ Cruise Is Coming in May 2027

 Hi Friends!

I’m so excited to finally announce a very special creative adventure — an Alaska Stampin’ Cruise, happening in May 2027.

This will be a 7-night cruise round-trip from Vancouver, combining breathtaking Alaskan scenery with creativity, inspiration, and time together with fellow stampers. We’ll be cruising through the Inside Passage and visiting incredible destinations including Sitka, Juneau, and Ketchikan.

This cruise is designed for stampers who love to create, relax, and travel with like-minded friends. There will be dedicated creative time, stunning views, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy both the journey and the destinations along the way.

One of the things I love most about this cruise is that you don’t have to come alone. You’re welcome to bring your best crafting buddy, a friend who loves to travel, or your significant other who may prefer sightseeing, relaxing, or enjoying everything the ship has to offer while you craft. It’s the perfect way to share an unforgettable experience together — whether that means stamping side by side or meeting up after a day of adventure to swap stories.

Click the graphic below to download a copy of the poster ...

Cabins for this group sailing will be limited, and more details — including crafting plans and registration information — will be shared soon. For now, consider this your official invitation to start dreaming about a creative adventure to Alaska.

January Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery Alternative Card Ideas

 Hi Friends!

A few days ago, I spent some creative time exploring the January Paper Pumpkin kit, Special Delivery, and I’m excited to share the replay with you here on the blog. 

Rather than creating the projects as designed, I used the kit as a starting point and created alternative card ideas, letting the supplies and viewer suggestions guide the direction of each project.

Paper Pumpkin kits are such a great foundation for creativity, and this one was no exception. During the video tutorial below, I walk through the stamps, paper pieces, and embellishments included in the kit and show how they can be mixed, layered, and reimagined into fresh card designs. Even if you did not receive this particular kit, you’ll still find lots of ideas you can easily adapt using supplies you already have on hand.

The video tutorial below goes over all the supplies used and shows how each card came together step by step. I also share little design tips along the way that you can apply to other kits, card layouts, and stamping projects.

If you enjoy seeing alternative Paper Pumpkin ideas, creative problem solving, and projects inspired by community input, I think you’ll really enjoy watching the replay.

Brushed With Beauty Floral Card with Layered Die Cuts and Soft Vellum Accents

Hi Friends!

Today I have an elegant floral card created with the Brushed With Beauty Suite. I combined images from the Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty bundles with Brushed With Beauty Designer Paper and Pearls of Beauty embellishments to create a card full of texture and gentle detail.

One of my favourite touches on this card is the layer of vellum tucked behind the die cut flowers. It softens the design, adds depth, and helps the florals stand out without overwhelming the background. This technique works beautifully with many floral designs and is easy to adapt to other projects.

Nature’s Symphony Fun Fold Card Using Nature Walk Designer Paper

 Hi Friends!

One of the highlights of my January Catalogue Launch Party was this beautiful Make ’n Take fun fold card, and I’m so happy to share it with you here on the blog.

This project is all about combining texture, soft colour, and an easy fun fold layout that looks impressive but is very approachable to create. It’s the kind of card that feels special the moment it’s opened, making it perfect for sending encouragement, happy mail, or a thoughtful note just because.

For this design, I used the Nature’s Symphony dies along with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, and they truly shine together. The layered leaf die cuts add elegant dimension and movement, while the designer paper brings in calm, nature-inspired patterns that work beautifully for a wide variety of occasions.

This fun fold layout is especially satisfying to make because it allows the designer paper to take centre stage without overwhelming the card. The balance of texture, layers, and white space gives the finished project a polished look while still keeping the construction simple and enjoyable.

This card was featured as the Make ’n Take project during my Catalogue Launch Party, and it was a big hit. It’s a wonderful example of how versatile the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper can be and how easily the Nature’s Symphony dies can elevate a design with just a few well-placed elements.

Below, I’ll be adding the full measurements along with a complete step-by-step tutorial so you can recreate this card at home or adapt the layout using your own favourite stamps and papers. It’s a great fold to keep in your back pocket because it works equally well for cards, class projects, and even swaps.

If you decide to give this fun fold a try, I’d love to see what you create. This is one of those layouts that really comes to life when you put your own spin on it.

Stamps:  Greenery Lane and Peaceful Dock

Ink:  Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath

Paper:  Lost Lagoon 11 x 4-1/4" cut at 1-1/4" on left side from bottom to score line.

            Basic White  5-1/4 x 4" (x 2 pieces), and 3/4 x 2" for the sentiment

            Pastel Shimmer (January online exclusives) 3 x 4

            Nature Walk DSP 1 x 5-1/4

Other:  Sparkle Dots Essentials, Stone & Vine embossing folder.

Designer Paper Card Inspiration with Simple Layers With The Wildly Flowering Designer Paper

 Hi Friends!

Today’s card is a great example of how designer paper can do most of the work for you. By keeping the layers clean and the embellishments minimal, the patterned paper becomes the star of the card.

This is a wonderful approach when you want a card that feels special without being overly complicated. It’s also a great style for mass-producing cards while still keeping them beautiful.

I used a Misty Moonlight 8-1/2 x 5-1/2" card base.

Then I layered a 5-1/4 x 4" piece of Wildly Flowering DSP, then cut out a 3 x 4-1/2" panel of the same paper with the Textured Notes dies (#4 counted from the smallest), and finally a circle from Stylish Shapes dies (#4 counted from the smallest).  All were adhered using Stampin' Seal.

I die cut the sticks from the Inspiring Imperfections dies out of the Earthen Toned Metallics foil and adhered to the card front using Tombo glue.

Then I stamped the floral image from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Misty Moonlight three times, die cut them and adhered 2 to the card front using dimensionals on just the top of the flowers.

I cut a 1 x 4 piece of Misty Moonlight to layer between the flowers, then added the last of the 3 stamped flowers using dimensionals.

The sentiment is stamped on a 1/2 x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped in Misty Moonlight.  The sentiment is from the same bundle.

The final touch is some Hues of Blue Flowers.

And, of course, I stamped and adhered a 5-1/4 x 4" piece of Basic White to the inside of the card. I never send out a naked inside or envelope, I just love how it's all balanced when you add just the simplest pieces.

I hope you enjoy this card, and that it inspires you to grab some pretty paper and create a card!
