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.

White-on-White Elegance with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Bundle—With a Pop of Fresh Freesia!

 Hi Friends!

There’s just something about a white-on-white card that feels effortlessly elegant. Crisp, clean, and oh-so-classy—like the little black dress of card making. But you know I had to add a little twist. For my live demonstration on Tuesday night, I took the Happy Hibiscus hybrid bundle and let it shine in all its glory, adding just the right pop of Fresh Freesia to make everything sing.



If you haven’t played with a hybrid bundle yet, you’re in for a treat. This one is a total game-changer. The way the embossing folder and dies work together? Pure magic. You get all that delicate floral texture with no extra fuss, which means you look like a card-making genius with minimal effort. And who doesn’t love that?

The white-on-white design really lets the details take center stage, creating a soft, dreamy effect that’s perfect for weddings, birthdays, or just because. And that little touch of Fresh Freesia? It adds just enough contrast to make everything pop without stealing the show. If you’re someone who loves a sophisticated, polished look but doesn’t want to spend hours layering and fussy cutting, this is your kind of card.

And don’t worry if you missed the live—I’ve got you covered. The full video tutorial is below, where I walk you through exactly how to bring this beauty to life. Whether you stick with the white-on-white elegance or swap in your favorite colors, this bundle is going to be your new best friend.

So grab your Happy Hibiscus bundle, hit play on the tutorial, and let’s create something absolutely stunning. Because crafting should be fun, fabulous, and just a little bit fancy.
