Lovely Florals in Bloom I have really enjoyed playing with the Florals in Bloom Mega-Suite and can't wait for you all to be able to order it 5/6/25 when the new Annual Catalog goes live. The paper is gorgeous, the In-Color Flat Pearls are fabulous as they are low profile, and the 2 bundles are such fun to mix and match as I have done with this card. And I have added an embossing folder from the Celebratory Sips suite, which is an Online Exclusive that also goes live 5/6! Both suites are amazing.  If you are a visual person, you might want to watch my Facebook Live video below where I show you how to make this card, as well as tips to make it easier.  I am also running a class right now using this suite of products. I would love to send you all the cardstock and DSP you need to make 4 gorgeous cards using this suite if you let me know (and pay) by 5/5/25 that you want to participate. Email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com for details. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:...

Sneak Peek of the Online Exclusive  Floral Impressions Suite   The Floral Impressions Suite will debut 5/6/25 as an Online Exclusive and you will love the dies, stamp set, DSP and embellishments. As you can see in this card, the dies cut out beautiful flowers, leaves and the lovely oval above that has a separate frame that can be used with either the cut out oval, or the background as I did above. The DSP I used behind the Pool Party is the back side of one of the great pieces of DSP. And the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems also have these gorgeous clear dots with central gold.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

More Charming Ducks!   I thought you'd like to see some more cards I made with the Charming Duck Pond bundle and here they are. I have one more for tomorrow! This one uses the big circle die that also cuts out some lily pads (at the bottom) and rushes (that I sort of covered up by adding the Granny Apple Green rushes. For this card I fussy cut out the big carps from another piece of DSP before layering them on the sentiment piece. Hope you like all the Pretty in Pink pieces of DSP! Happy stampin', Robin

Charming Duck Pond Fun Fold I suddenly realized that the Charming Duck Pond bundle and everything that went with it was on the Last Chance List and I had never played with mine, though I had it for months! And I had loved the colors in it and the myriad of cards others had made, so it was time to take it out of the wrapping and get going. Later this week, come back to my blog, as I made several other cards using this bundle. I find the ducks in their ponds with their babies so adorable, so I had to start by using one of those pieces of DSP. I also love the pieces of DSP with the carp on them, but that's for another card.   I am calling this card a spotlight flap card. In a usual spotlight card you die cut out a portion of the card and raise it up on Dimensionals. On this card you have the added bonus that the spotlight area flaps open too! Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Pretty Peacock cardstock --Card base 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and fol...
