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.

Create a Quick and Elegant Christmas Card with the Peace On Earth Bundle and the 3-3-3 Technique

Hi Friends!

If you're looking for a fast, fabulous, and festive holiday card idea, you're going to love this one! In my latest live demonstration, I shared a card created with the brand new Peace On Earth bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! September–December Mini Catalogue. This bundle is filled with timeless holiday elements and beautiful sentiments that make cardmaking a breeze.

The card I created uses the 3-3-3 technique—one of my favorite go-to tricks for designing layouts. I’ll explain what that means in the video below, but here’s the sneak peek: it involves three strips of designer series paper, three embellishments, and three core design components. It’s a simple formula that takes the guesswork out of card design, and it works with just about any theme or bundle.

For this project, I chose soft neutral tones paired with shimmer and shine to give the card a peaceful and elegant holiday feel. The focal point is a beautiful die-cut dove, which practically floats off the card. If you're planning your Christmas cards and want something easy to recreate that still has that wow factor, this is a great place to start.

I walk through every step in the video below and share tips along the way for using the dies, layering elements, and getting the most from this beautiful new bundle.

Charming Day Watercolour Card with Floral Charm Paper and Fancy Borders – Tips, Tricks, and a Video Tutorial

 Hi Friends!

If you missed last Thursday’s live demonstration, you’re in for a real treat! I shared a stunning card using the Charming Day bundle, and this one features a soft watercolouring technique that’s perfect for highlighting the lovely line art in this set. Whether you're new to watercolouring or already a fan, this technique is so relaxing—and the results are gorgeous.

I paired the images with the Floral Charm designer paper, which brought in just the right pop of color and pattern. To add texture, I used the Glass & Garden embossing folder in the background, giving the card an elegant finish. The Fancy Border Dies were the perfect accent to frame everything and step the design up a notch.

Throughout the video, I shared plenty of tips and tricks—like how to control your watercolouring for different effects, ways to layer patterned paper and embossed backgrounds, and how to let the design of your dies guide your layout. This card is pretty enough to send for birthdays, thank-yous, or just to brighten someone’s day.

You’ll find the video tutorial at the bottom of this post, so you can follow along and create one of your own. I hope this project inspires you to pull out your Charming Day bundle and give watercolouring a try. Thanks so much for crafting along with me, and I’ll see you again soon with more fun and inspiration.

Stampin’ Blends on Vellum with the Charming Day Bundle: A Stunning Card Tutorial

 Hi Friends!

Happy Friday! I’m excited to wrap up the week by sharing another beautiful card I created with the Charming Day bundle. This time, I explored a different colouring technique that I demonstrated live in my VIP group and on YouTube this past Wednesday.

The technique I showcased is colouring on vellum with Stampin’ Blends. It’s a gorgeous way to add vibrant, translucent color to your projects, giving your stamped images a stained-glass look that’s both elegant and eye-catching. The Charming Day bundle is perfect for this technique, with its crisp, detailed images that shine through the soft finish of vellum.

During my live demonstration, I shared how to blend colours seamlessly on vellum, control bleeding, and adhere your vellum layers without visible glue marks. The result is a card that’s light, airy, and truly unique.

If you’ve never tried Stampin’ Blends on vellum, this Charming Day card is the perfect place to start. It’s a simple yet stunning technique that brings a fresh look to your handmade cards and adds another creative tool to your crafting toolbox.

I’ve included the video replay below so you can see exactly how this technique comes together and craft along with me. I hope you’ll give it a try and discover just how beautiful colouring on vellum can be with the Charming Day bundle.

How to Colour Charming Day Images with Stampin’ Blends for Gorgeous Handmade Cards

 Hi Friends!

On Tuesday’s live demonstration over on Facebook and YouTube, I shared how to create a beautiful card using the brand new Charming Day bundle. This bundle has quickly become one of my favorites for its delightful images and versatile sentiments, perfect for so many occasions.

One of the highlights of this demonstration was showing how to bring the Charming Day images to life with Stampin’ Blends. These alcohol markers are amazing for adding rich color and seamless shading, giving your stamped images depth and dimension. I shared tips on choosing color combinations, blending techniques, and how to avoid harsh lines for a smooth, professional look.

The card I created during the live features cheerful colors and the crisp detail that makes the Charming Day bundle shine. It’s a wonderful example of how a simple stamped image can become the focal point of your card with just a bit of coloring magic.

If you’ve been looking for ideas on how to use your Stampin’ Blends or you’re curious about the Charming Day bundle, this project is the perfect place to start. Whether you’re new to coloring or already love using alcohol markers, there’s always something new to learn and try.

Create a Stunning Fault Line Card with Gallery Blooms and Marbled Elegance Paper

 Hi Friends!

I’m excited to share a card I recently created using the gorgeous Gallery Blooms bundle and the Marbled Elegance specialty paper. This card was part of an all-day online Team event and quickly became one of my favorites to design and demonstrate.

This Fault Line card bursts with vibrant shades of pinks and reds, perfectly contrasted with black and white accents. The Gallery Blooms bundle offers elegant floral images and sentiments that pair beautifully with the luxurious textures of the Marbled Elegance paper. Together, they create a dramatic and eye-catching split across the card front that’s characteristic of the Fault Line technique.

The bold color palette makes the flowers pop, while the marbled patterns add an extra touch of sophistication. It’s a design that looks intricate but is surprisingly simple once you know the steps, making it a perfect project for both experienced stampers and those looking to try a new fun fold.

This card truly shines as an example of how specialty papers and beautiful stamps can transform a simple fold into something unforgettable. I hope it inspires you to pull out your Gallery Blooms bundle and experiment with the Fault Line technique for your own projects.

I didn’t do a video specifically for this card, but I do have a Fault Line video tutorial for you that shows how to create this fun fold step by step.

Center Step Fun Fold Card with Sunflower Embossing Folder and Beautiful Coloring Technique

 Hi Friends!

Today, I’m excited to share the gorgeous card I created during my live stamping demonstration—a Sunflower Center Step Fun Fold card that is bursting with cheerful color and amazing dimension.

This project spotlights the Sunflower Embossing Folder, which adds incredible texture and detail to any card. For this design, I paired the sunflower with a soft, sunny color palette and a gentle ink blending technique that brings the petals to life with delicate shading and depth. The large sunflower focal point absolutely steals the show and makes this handmade card perfect for birthdays or any happy occasion.

The Center Step Fun Fold layout is one of my favorites because it’s surprisingly easy to create while giving your cards a dramatic, three-dimensional look. The stepped layers frame the embossed sunflower beautifully and leave plenty of space for a greeting and embellishments. I used subtle pearls to add a touch of elegance and a pop of shine.

During my live demonstration, I shared step-by-step instructions for creating the Center Step Fun Fold base, embossing techniques, and how to color the sunflower for maximum impact. Whether you’re new to fun folds or a seasoned paper crafter, you’ll love how this technique transforms a single sunflower image into a bold, eye-catching centerpiece.

I’ll be adding the video tutorial below so you can craft along with me and see exactly how this card comes together. I hope it inspires you to pull out your embossing folders and try new ways to make your handmade cards shine. Thanks so much for visiting my craft room, and I can’t wait to share even more creative ideas with you soon!

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.

Sailing Into Sparkle with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle and Glimmer Paper Technique

 Hi Friends!

Wish you could bottle that peaceful, beachy vibe and turn it into a card?

This one’s for my shimmer lovers! I played with the brand new Sunrise Sailing Bundle—launching May 6th—and instantly felt those coastal breezes roll in. Add in a glimmer paper technique that makes the ocean waves dance, and this project became pure seaside magic.

This clean and classy card is perfect for summer birthdays, retirement celebrations, or just sending a little sunshine. The layered sailboats, sparkly water, and beautifully embossed background created with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder come together to make a truly eye-catching design. The circle focal point adds just the right frame for those crisp white sails and dreamy blue tones.

No hybrid embossing required here—just the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and coordinating dies. I love how easy it is to get a polished, dimensional look with just a few passes through the die-cut machine and a little glimmer magic.

Whether you're crafting for fun or looking to inspire others in your creative space, this card brings a splash of creativity and a touch of sparkle.

I shared how to create this exact card live, and you can catch the replay on my YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss all the upcoming ideas featuring this fabulous new bundle.

 Hi Friends!

You are going to love this one! I’ve got a brand-new technique to share today—yes, a technique that might be totally new to you—and it’s featured on this gorgeous card using the Spotlight On Nature bundle and the Everyday Arches.

This design has all the dreamy, soft purples that give it a fresh and delicate springtime feel. The result is a card that’s elegant, eye-catching, and surprisingly easy to make once you see how the technique comes together.

The Spotlight On Nature bundle is so versatile and lends itself beautifully to techniques that add depth and interest without needing a ton of extra layers. Pairing it with the Everyday Arches creates a soft frame that brings the whole design together in a way that’s modern and timeless.

Shaker Card Magic with the Spotlight On Nature Bundle – Live Demo Replay

 Hi Friends!

It’s shaker card time, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this beauty with you! During my Monday live stamping demonstration, I featured the Spotlight On Nature bundle—and let me tell you, it stole the show. This card has all the sparkle and movement a crafter could want, with soft floral elegance that ties everything together.

I’ve been having so much fun sharing a new project with this bundle each day this week, and I’ll be continuing that with a new live stamping session on both Wednesday and Thursday. Whether you join me live or catch the replay, you’ll get inspiration, tips, and creative ideas you can bring right to your craft table.

The card I’m sharing today on the blog is the one from Monday’s live session—this shaker card full of birthday wishes and colorful fun. I used the Spotlight On Nature bundle to create a layered look that adds softness to all that sparkle, and I even snuck in some subtle ribbon accents for a little extra polish.

The secret sauce behind this shaker card? A fun little interactive piece called a Flip Flap! It’s such a clever and easy way to create a sealed shaker element without the bulk of traditional window layers. During the video, I walk you through exactly how to use it, step by step, so you can confidently create your own Flip Flap shaker cards at home. It’s one of those techniques that looks tricky but is actually super simple—and gives your card that extra wow factor!

If you haven’t joined me live yet, you’re invited! I go live every Monday through Thursday this week on both Facebook and YouTube, and I’d love to have you there. Whether you're catching me live or watching later, it's a great way to learn new techniques, see Stampin’ Up! products in action, and get inspired for your next project.

Add Texture and Wow with This Designer Paper Technique Using Textured Notes

 Hi Friends!

If you’re looking for a way to take your designer paper to the next level, this technique is a game-changer. In my latest live demonstration, I used the Textured Notes bundle along with a fun designer paper technique that adds incredible texture and dimension to any card.

Designer paper is already beautiful on its own, but using up leftover strips of DSP in a creative way can turn it into something truly special. This card is all about making the most of your supplies and adding that extra wow factor with minimal effort. Whether you prefer soft and elegant or bold and eye-catching, this technique works with any style.

In the video tutorial below, I walk you through how to use this designer paper technique with the Textured Notes bundle to create a card that stands out. You’ll see how easy it is to add texture, and depth—all while keeping the process simple and fun.

If you’ve been looking for fresh ways to use your designer paper stash, this is one you’ll want to try. Watch the tutorial, grab your supplies, and get ready to add a whole new level of texture to your cards!
