More Zinnias 


I hope everyone has taken a look at the over 20 new products that just debuted in the On-Line Exclusives. I have to say the Simply Zinnia bundle and suite of products are my favorite. I love the bright, fun colors and the Designer Series Paper is to die for! I am almost through my first packet and have even opened my second packet to get a few papers out of it. And the Adhesive-Backed Sequins complement the DSP beautifully. 

On March 23rd I will be hosting a Birthday Bash Buffet where participants will make at least 8 cards and they will be able to choose from at least 16 different cards to make and this will be one of them. If you are in Southern CA and want to come play with us, email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. And if you aren't local, you can order the PDF of all the cards for $25, but if you place an order with me for $35 I will send you a PDF with 8 cards worth of directions. If your order is at least $70 I will email you a PDF with directions for ALL the cards.

Let's make this card. Gather your materials

1. Lemon Lime Twist  cardstock—5 ½” by 8 ½” scored on the long side at 4 ¼”

2. Basic White cardstock –3 ¾” by 5” for the inside and a second piece 2 ¾” by 3 ¾”

3. Flowering Zinnias DSP—Melon Mambo piece is 4” by 5 ¼”, 2 zinnias fussy cut from the piece that has purple on the back

4. Stamp Set— So Sincere and Simply Zinnias

5. Ink—Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo

6. Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

7. Fun Patterns Embossing Folders—the flower one

If you want to watch me make this card, please watch my Facebook Live below and then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to join me for more card making fun! Or you can watch me on YouTube--both are at  Stamp with Dr Robin. 

Stamp the vertical Happy Birthday from So Sincere in Lemon Lime twist on the right side of the 2 ¾” by 3 ¾” piece of Basic White. Run it through with the flowered Fun Patterns Embossing Folder LEAVING THE SENTIMENT OUTSIDE THE EMBOSSING FOLDER.


Attach the larger (Melon Mambo) piece of DSP to the front of the card. Attach the embossed piece, using Dimensionals, to the lower right corner.

 Overlap then glue the 2 flowers together (unless you have one with the 2 flowers attached to each other). Attach the flowers to the white piece using Dimensionals.

 Use 2 of the sequins above and below the sentiment (any color would work).




 Stamp the inside sentiment using Lemon Lime Twist on the larger piece of Basic White, as well as a zinnia in Melon Mambo, and attach it to the inside of your folded card base.

A fun thing to do to make this card special is to run the flap of the envelope through your machine inside the embossing folder as in the picture at the top. Here is another view of the finished card.

  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...
