Elegant Leaves - Sending Caring Thoughts

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was made for this week's Paper Craft Crew simple stamping challenge, which is to make clean, simple card with minimal layers & I hope I accomplished that. I'm giving you a sneak peek of an upcoming set in the new catalog called Elegant Leaves.

I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Basic Beige Cardstock where I used the Simply Scored Tool to add to add 2 score lines around all the sides. I then used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set with Crisp Cantaloupe & Cajun Craze Ink Pads to stamp one of the leaves in the center. Both the solid & outline stamps have the stem, but I only stamped the leaf part on the Cajun Craze so that it ends at the base of the stem. Next, I used the Cajun Craze Ink Pad to stamp on a strip of Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock one of the sentiments from the set, banner cut the ends & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a Linen Thread bow & a few 2026-28 In Color Dots (Crisp Cantaloupe) to finish the card.

Fern & Flora - Amazing Friend

Hello Stampers,

I hope y'all are having a wonderful day! I'm still hobbling along with my broken toe & was able to finally get into my craft room a bit. Today's card was inspired by a sketch from Jackie Bolhuis,

I started the card off with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Heirloom Boutique Two Tone Cardstock (Golden Glow) that I embossed with a new product Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, used a Blending Brush to add some Golden Glow Ink around the sides. I also used the same color for the sentiment block & Peaceful Pine from the same package as a layer behind the focal point. Next, I used the Moonlit Flora DSP for the banner. I used the Fern & Flora Stamp Set to stamp the largest fern using Peaceful Pine Ink onto Basic White Cardstock then colored it in using a mix of Wink Of Stella with the same ink which allows it to shimmer. For the sentiment, piece I used 2 additional stamps that come in the set using Golden Glow & Peaceful Pine Inks before using the Fern & Flora Dies to die-cut & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few 2026-28 In Color Dots (Peaceful Pine) to finish the card.

All Aflutter - Sincere Thanks

Hello Stampers,

Today I'm sharing a card for the last Creativate pre-challenge which was to make a pocket card. It's a great idea for a card & the pocket can hold a handmade bookmark, gift card or something small enough to fit inside your pocket & you can have your message inside as well like a regular card.

I started my card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Petal Pink Cardstock. For the pocket, I used Basic White Cardstock with Paper Medley DSP. For the "bookmark," I again used Petal Pink & Basic White Cardstocks, then stamped the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set using Petal Pink Ink. I used the Scalloped Bloom Dies to make a flower die-cut & added another sentiment from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set using Calypso Coral Ink then popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

This is what the card would look like once the bookmark or whatever you decided to make would look like once the object is removed.

Delicate Dreams - Happiest Birthday Wishes

Hello Stampers,

Today I'm sharing a card that was supposed to be shared yesterday, but life & time got in my way to finish the post. This card was made for a Creativate pre-challenge where we were to let the DSP do all the work based on the sketch. This DSP has been on my "need" list for a while, but it was always sold out when I would remember to add it to my order, this last order I was lucky!

I started with a Secret Sea Cardstock base, then used the Delicate Dreams DSP to add a strip to the base. Next, I used the same piece but flipped to the floral side & added it to a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock layer before adding it to the base. For the sentiment, I used the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set with Secret Sea Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock, used the Three Banner Punch to punch it out & then added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a few Moody Palette Dots (Secret Sea) to finish the card.
