Wow – it’s been awhile since I’ve posted! Needless to say, I’ve been busy. Summer is always a busy time. And most recently, on September 21, I hosted an all-day stamping event for thirty Georgia Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. Of course, it wasn’t exclusive to Georgia but the majority of demonstrators were from our state. It was the third Sweet Peaches Stampin’ Event and a fun day of crafting for everyone. I have now recuperated and have lots to share with you. Today’s post features one of the projects from the event that demonstrators were able to create. The card uses the Changing Leaves Bundle and is perfect when sending “a little note”. You’ll find a project tutorial below.
The Changing Leaves Bundle is an Online Exclusive and makes it easy to create a beautiful card. The bundle features a Hybrid Embossing Folder which means one of the dies fits into the embossing folder allowing you to cut and emboss at the same time. Notice the leaf in the card photo? The Oxidized Copper Special Designer Series Paper has been cut and embossed using the Hybrid Embossing Folder set. And of course, you can use the embossing folder separately as seen for the background layering panel.
The project tutorial is available here for you to use for creating the Changing Leaves “A Little Note” card.
Now that summer has ended and the stamping event is over, I’ll be back to posting more often. My next post will feature two treat holder ideas to use for Halloween so be sure to subscribe so you’ll receive notification. It will be available on Monday, October 7. So check back next week!
In today’s post I’m sharing another of the cards from the February card class featuring products from the Perennial Lavender Product Suite. Building on the last post featuring a fun fold, this design is a double Z-fold card. The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper provides a beautiful backdrop for the die cut leaves and the Paper Butterfly Embellishment. The card also uses the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder to cut and emboss the sentiment.

Lost Lagoon Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ and 1-1/4″ x 11″, score both at 2-3/4″ & 5-1/2″

It’s been a month since last posting! Where has time gone? Even though I haven’t taken the time to post, it doesn’t mean that I’ve not been crafting. Actually, I’ve been spending more time crafting than doing lots of other things. So today, I decided it was “computer time” and I’ve been busy outlining my posts for the next few weeks.
Now on to today’s card! It’s a book fold card featuring the Perennial Lavender Product Suite. The product suite features two stamp/die bundles – Perennial Postage and Painted Lavender. In addition, the suite features the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and two different embellishments. For the February monthly card class, the cards all featured products from the suite. In addition, word sentiments from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder was incorporated on several of the projects. In the assembly video below, I also demonstrate how to use the hybrid embossing folder along with recreating the card.

Today’s colorful card sends Zesty Birthday wishes using the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and coordinating hybrid embossing folder/dies set. The hybrid embossing folder with the coordinating dies helps create cards that look complicated but really aren’t complicated at all. The embossing folder/die combo does all the hard work! The card is one created in a previous card class and the designer series paper background has since been discontinued. However, you can easily substitute with another paper or stamp and create your own background paper if the paper. Have fun creating this Sweet Citrus Zesty Birthday card!
FYI…this is the perfect card to accompany a drink kit for the margarita lover! 🙂
Watch how to recreate the Sweet Citrus Zesty Birthday card in the video below…

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″)
