Birthday   Pretty Poinsettia Sneak Peek The Pretty Poinsettia bundle comes out 7/1/26 as a new Online Exclusive. It has sentiments and dies for use on Christmas cards (who doesn't like Christmas in July?) but I wanted to show that it can be used for other cards also. I created it using my most favorite fun fold with the 2026-28 In Colors Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow with a touch of gold foil in the center of the flower to match the gold foil in the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper.  See the DSP on the bottom of the card? That is another sneak peek from the July Online Exclusives--Gingham Gallery DSP comes in a package with ALL the new In Colors. It has these little gingham squares on one side and larger squares on the back side of each paper. They will go with so many of your other papers.  Click on the little Robin Bird above to go to my Online Store and buy it (after July 1st of course). The Pretty Poinsettia dies are made to be used with the new Imp...

Stitched Stocking Fun Fold Card Stitched Stocking is an upcoming bundle debuting 7/1/26 in the Stampin' Up Online Exclusives. It is part of a beautiful suite with a fun quilting theme. In the suite, there are dies, stamps and paper that can be mixed and matched to make quilt-like cards, or just used to make all sorts of Christmas themed cards. Here I focused on the bundle more than the other components of the suite, but if you go back a couple of posts, I made another card with the suite of products. Notice the stocking itself is die cut from the Shimmering Stripes Designer Series Paper, that is part of the Violet Dreams Suite that comes out in the same group of  Online Exclusives. If you get lost reading this, or are more of a visual learner, please watch my video below. Then come watch my Facebook Live every Monday at 1 pm PST to make another card with me.  Let's make this card.

Words & Wishes Banner Card I know I was late to the party for buying the Party Banner Dies, but I really love how you can turn a banner into a card. I decided today I wanted to make a monochromatic card using Golden Glow, as I hadn't used that new In Color much yet. The Words & Wishes bundle has been sitting on my desk for a while waiting to be used. Those two sets are really a match made in heaven--this card shows of the best of both, plus the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper that has gold foiling on one side of the different papers that include all 5 of the new In Colors.  I've attached my Facebook Live below, which really helps if you are a visual learner. Come back and watch me every Monday at 1 pm PST for a new card.  Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: Golden Glow cardstock—card base 4 1/4" by 11" scored at 5 1/2" then fold in half and cut with the 5th largest Party Banner die. Cut out the "Best Wishes" with the Wo...
