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.
What do you get when you mix peaceful forest vibes with one perfect arch die? A card that makes people stop and say… wow.
This card was inspired by the fabulous Mary Deatherage, and I just had to put my own spin on it.
The Everyday Arches bundle is the star of the show again, paired with the Splendid Autumn designer paper—which has this gorgeous painted landscape that reminded me of a walk through the woods at dusk.
I stamped the trees from the Adventure Together stamp set, added some torn paper texture, and suddenly, it felt like a little postcard from a cozy getaway. Simple techniques, but the impact is big. This design is perfect for sending a cheerful hello, especially to someone who loves nature as much as you do.
If you’ve been eyeing the Everyday Arches dies or looking for new ways to use your scenic paper stash, don’t miss this one. I’ll be sharing all the how-tos, tips, and tricks during one of my upcoming live stamping sessions — come craft along and say hello!

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.

Last Wednesday, during my Live Stamping Demonstration on Facebook and YouTube, I featured the beautiful Wild Fern bundle along with the versatile Everyday Details Arches dies—and I absolutely love how this card turned out. If you’re a fan of elegant layering and botanical details, this one's for you.
The front of the card is full of soft colors, delicate ferns, and those bold touches of gold that bring everything to life. I stamped and die cut several fern images, mixing in a few from the coordinating dies in gold foil to add that little extra something. Everything is arranged in a semi-circle, hugging the arched sentiment label perfectly. The “You are Greatly Appreciated” greeting fits beautifully into the arched frame, and it makes the card feel warm, personal, and heartfelt. Whether it’s for a coworker, a friend, or someone who’s gone the extra mile, this card says thank you in a meaningful way.
The Everyday Details Arches dies really shine here—they add that subtle stitched detail and give the card a strong focal point without overwhelming the ferns. I also gave a peek inside the card during the live, where I kept the design simple with more ferns stamped in soft tones, coordinating perfectly with the front.
This card is all about layers, textures, and intentional placement. It’s a great design for any season, and with a quick switch of colors or sentiment, it could easily become a birthday, sympathy, or encouragement card.
If you missed the live, don’t worry. You can catch the replay below on YouTube and see exactly how it all came together.
