Simply Marbelous Calming Camelia


Since today (2/28/22) is the last day of Sale-A-Bration, I though I'd Sale-A-Brate by highlighting some of my favorite FREE things from this catalog. One would be the Simply Marbelous paper, which I've added some color to here, and the other is the Calming Camelia stamp set. I've so enjoyed using both of these over the past 2 months--I think I've gone through 2 packs of Simply Marbelous paper! This is a fairly easy card, but if you get stuck (or you are a more visual person) please watch my video below.

Gather your supplies to make this card. 

1. Highland Heather cardstock 4 1/4 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" 
2. Basic White cardstock 3 3/4 by 5" for the inside and another piece die cut with the Scalloped Contours dies, the second largest rectangle
3. Simply Marbelous purple DSP (#158128) FREE WITH A $50 ORDER cut 4 by 5 1/4"
4. Stamp Sets-- Calming Camellia (#158117) FREE with a $300 order
5. Dies--Scalloped Contours  (#155560)
6. Ink-- Misty Moonlight and Highland Heather
7. Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (#155615)
8. Heart and Home Doilies (#157956)
9. Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#158130)
10. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Glue Dots, Blending Brushes 

Let's make this card! Start by using your Blending Brushes and the Misty Moonlight ink to add some color to the Simply Marbelous paper. Be sure to let some of the purple colors show! Fold your card base in half and adhere this piece to the front--I like to use our Multipurpose Glue as it is so forgiving. 

Now for the stamping. Using Misty Moonlight ink, stamp the large camellia stamp onto the Scalloped Contours die that you already cut out (or stamp first then cut if you prefer). Then using a blending brush or a sponge dauber, add some Highland Heather ink to your flowers--don't worry about coloring outside the lines as it will look fine. 

Stamp the leaf stamp in Misty Moonlight on the inside Basic White piece then glue it to the inside of your card. Stamp the leaf also on your envelope like below. If you want to add a sentiment to the inside, do it before gluing it down.


Cut one of the Misty Moonlight Doilies in half and glue it to the card then add your stamped camellia on top using Dimensionals. Tie a bow with the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and stick it on with a Glue Dot. Use 3 Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels in the center of your flowers and you are done.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
