Thank you for the recent inquiries – I’m well! The past month was busy with my son’s wedding plus other commitments and something had to give. So, I decided to take time away from blogging. But now I’m back and will be sharing more projects with you! Take note – I have a backlog of projects so will intertwine the postings with new projects from the recently released 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
This week’s project features the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder to create a cheerful card featuring lemons. If you’ve not purchased or used this set yet, you must! It’s a fun set that allows you to create a variety of citrus fruits. The Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder (like all the hybrid embossing folders!) is a game changer. Not only does it emboss but it includes dies that will cut a portion of the cardstock while embossing. Of course, you can also just use the embossing folder alone to texture emboss. You’ll notice on the card below that the background piece is embossed. Be sure to check out the video below from the recent class to see tips for using this fun set. Note: the Stitched Rectangle Dies and embellishment dots have retired but can be easily substituted with another die set & embellishment.
Sweet Citrus Lemons Cut Dimensions:
-Daffodil Delight Cardstock (Base:4-1/4″ x 11″, score/fold at 5-1/2″; 4-1/4″ x 5″ for embossing)
-Basic White Cardstock (4 1/2″” x 3-1/2″ for stamping/die cutting fruit; 5-1/4″ x 4″ for interior, 3″ x 2-1/2″)

This week I am featuring a cheerful fun fold card using the Playing In The Rain bundle. The recent class focused on Playing In The Rain Bundle and this is one of the cards participants were able to create. Isn’t that bunny cute! Though the stamp set includes the bunny, this bunny is from the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. A coordinating die from the Playing In The Rain dies makes it easy to cut the bunny shape. More of the designer series paper is used for the background prints on the card. Who doesn’t like a cheerful card?!
Cut Dimensions for the Playing In The Rain Fun Fold Card:
Mango Melody Cardstock (Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″; 3″ x 4-1/4″; scrap for kite die cut)
Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper (floral print – 2 pieces cut 2-1/2″ x 4″; checked print 4″ x 5-1/4″ for interior; 2-1/2″ x 6″ for envelope; bunny for die cut)
Basic White Cardstock (2 pieces 2-3/4″ x 4″)
Basic Black Cardstock (scrap 1-1/2″ x 4″ for kite)

Last month the card class featured the Regency Park Product Suite. Today’s card is a framed floral card from the class. In addition to the Regency Park products, the Framed Florets Bundle created the frame around the sentiment from the bundle. Embellishing with flowers creates the card’s focal point. Both combine to create a beautiful card. The Regency Park Designer Series Paper has a beautiful array of floral papers so you can create a variety of cards using this design. Be sure to check out the assembly video for creating a Regency Park Framed Floral card.

This weekend we’re attending the wedding of our niece so naturally a special card is necessary. The wedding in New Orleans has a garden theme and I couldn’t think of a better way to highlight it than to use the products from the Fancy Flora Suite Collection. The Two-Tone Flora Dies and the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper combine to create a beautiful card. Since I wanted to make a large card, the Basic White Memories & More card pack contains the perfect 4″ x 6″ size. The large Two-Tone Flora Die used to cut the overlay is perfect as it does not cut the outer edges so it allows the creation of a border to fill the entire card front. A simple message embellished with a small bow does not detract from the card front. The Something Fancy Stamp Set has the perfect size “congratulations.” On the interior a larger stamped sentiment still allows lots of space for a personal, handwritten message to the couple. And naturally, the envelope needed some embellishment! Best of all, the elegant card did not take long to create.
Here’s a tip for using the large, intricate die – cut with the die cutting edges face up. Place the die onto the cutting plate of your die machine face up, then add the card stock on top of the die, finish with top cutting plate. Depending upon your particular die cutting machine, you may also need to add a shim – usually a piece of cardstock is sufficient.

Today’s card is from the recent class featuring products from the Regency Park Suite Collection. The Petal Park Bundle is used to create the focal point on the front of the thank you card. In addition, the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder adds textural interest. Do you notice the card size? It’s not the typical 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card. The card is the 6-1/4″ x 4-1/4″size in the Memories & More Cards and Envelopes Packs. It’s a nice alternate size to use especially when creating specialty cards. You’ll find the card materials and an assembly video below.
