Aug 25, 2020 | August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Beautiful Autumn, Bundles, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Gilded Autumn, Gilded Autumn Specialty, Product Suites, Thank You |
Yesterday, the monthly card class met via ZOOM. Even though it’s virtual, it is fun to be able to continue creating together with others. One of the cards from the class features products from the Gilded Autumn Suite Collection. I’ve titled the card “Falling Leaves & Acorns” since the title describes the design of the page of paper for the background layer. Perfect for creating fall themed cards is the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s a beautiful paper collection. The Beautiful Autumn Bundle from the suite includes the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and the coordinating Autumn Punch Pack. Woohoo – the punch pack coordinates with the leaves and acorns in the specialty designer series paper. Y’all know I love it when a punch or die coordinates with the designer series paper!
Card Materials and Details:
• Cajun Craze cardstock: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and folded at 4-1/4″ to create the card base.
• Mint Macaron cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4” for Layer 1; strip for embossing 3-3/4” x 1-1/4”
• Layer 2: Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and pieces for punching leaves & acorn
• Very Vanilla cardstock: 1” x 3 1/4” for label; 5” x 4-1/4” for interior
• Punches: Autumn Punch Pack & Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
For the sentiment use the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Use the Greenery Embossing Folder to texture emboss the 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Mint Macaron strip. Cut 3 equal pieces of Linen Thread and tie into a small bow to embellish the sentiment label.
NOTE: The next ZOOM card class is September 21, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST. Drop me an email if you’d like to attend and I’ll send you the details.

Aug 20, 2020 | 3-D, August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Boxes, Designer Series Paper, Little Treat Boxes, Little Treats, Quick & Easy, Treat Holders |
School’s back in session for my grandson, Alex. Well, sort of back in session! Currently, all classes are virtual so he’s spending lots of time online. There’s disappointment that in-person class and meeting new classmates isn’t occurring. As I did in the Spring, I’m assisting Alex with the new online learning platform while both parents are working. So, my blog posting schedule is off sync a bit. Hoping to be back on schedule next week. To keep Alex’s spirits uplifted, I made a little treat box to give him after one of his online sessions this week. Using the Little Treats Bundle, the treat box was quick and easy to make. And it’s the perfect size for a couple of small treats!
Additional details:
The Plaid Tidings 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper is cut using the Little Treat Box Dies from the Little Treats Bundle. After cutting the treat box, fold along the score lines and tuck the tabs into the slits to form the box. The front and back flaps can be closed by a ribbon tie or if desired, add a small amount of adhesive along the side to adhere to the box. To embellish the box, cut two leaves using the Stitched Leaves Dies. For the leaves to coordinate with the plaid designer series paper, Cajun Craze and a Brushed Metallic cardstock were selected. Next, stamp the sentiment from the Little Treats Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. The stitched, scalloped circle in the Little Treats Box Dies is the perfect size for the sentiment.
Making the little treat boxes couldn’t be simpler! Even better is how quickly the treat boxes are to make. You’ll want to order the Little Treats Bundle so you’re prepared to make “a little something” treats for all occasions!

Aug 17, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Birthday, Bundles, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Fun Folds, Peony Garden, Prized Peony, Uncategorized |
As noted in previous posts, one of my favorite product suites in the Annual Catalog is the Peony Garden Suite. So when celebrating my mother’s birthday in June, the choice was easy. The suite was ideal for decorating a center step peony card to mark the milestone occasion. Plus, the card fit perfectly in a Whisper White medium envelope. Since the celebrating continued for several weeks, the center step peony card was perfect for her to keep it on display!
Details:
- The card base starts with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Petal Pink cardstock. For cutting and scoring to create the center step card base, I followed this video by Wendy Cranford. She uses a wider card but the 1″ cuts on each side of the cardstock and the scoring lines remain the same.
- To cover the front card panels, select coordinating pages from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. Cut the following sizes: center panel (4-3/8″ x 2-1/8″), 2 side panels (7/8″ x 4-3/8″) , and bottom panel (4-1/4″ x 7/8″).
- The sentiment on the bottom panel is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set. Since the phrase “Happy Birthday” is combined on one stamp, use a post-it mask on the word you do not want to stamp with the Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Pad. Next, attach a piece of Gray Granite cardstock to an Adhesive Foam Sheet and cut with the Playful Alphabet Dies. Add to the center of the panel between the sentiment phrase.
- Now, attach the panels to the card front using Stampin’ Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
- Use the Peony Dies to cut the flower pieces from Petal Pink cardstock. Cut the stamen from a scrap of Basic Black cardstock. Sponge along the edges of the flower pieces with Petal Pink Classic Ink and assemble the peony.
- With Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the large stemmed peony onto Whisper White cardstock. Cut with the coordinating Peony Die. Color the stem using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Note: you do not need to color the flower since you’ll cover it with the die cut peony flower. Attach to the center panel using Foam Adhesive Strips.
- Add the peony flower to the flower stem using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive covering the peony flower on the stem.
- Embellish around the flower with Clear Epoxy Droplets and add a small 1/4″ Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon bow.
There are many variations for creating center step cards. Just vary the center step width to create a wider card. Have fun creating a center step card!

Aug 10, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Flowers for Every Season, Quick & Easy, Simple Stamping, Uncategorized |
The project today is a triple panel floral card. When I need to make multiple cards of one design, I like to use panels of repeat designs. The repeat designs can either be stamped images or designer series paper images. So for this card, the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper provides the repeat floral design. Notice the texture? Each of the panels is texture embossed using the Subtle 3D embossing folder.
Recreating the card:
- Create a card base using Poppy Parade cardstock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
- Cut 3 strips of Just Jade cardstock: 4″ x 1-11/16″.
- Cut 3 strips of the Flowers for Everything Designer Series Paper: 3-7/8″ x 1-9/16″.
- Attach the designer series paper to the Just Jade cardstock strips. Then, texture embellish using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
- Evenly space the layered strips onto the card base front and attach using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Meant to Be Stamp Set onto a 2-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then cut using the Stitched Shapes Dies (2nd smallest oval).
- Using the 2nd largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies, cut a 3-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Just Jade cardstock. Next, add the sentiment label using Stampin’ Seal.
- Add the layered sentiment label to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish with the Crushed Curry resin dots from the Playing with Patterns Resin Dots. Then add a Just Jade Ribbon bow.
You can use the triple panel card design for portrait or landscape cards. Plus, adjusting your sentiment label and adding a few more embellishments enables you many design possibilities.
