Quilted cross Easter card

Hello all!  Great news!  Stampin' Up! announced free shipping for the next three days with a $75** qualifying order!  Free shipping will run February 18-20, 2026, and ends at 11:59 pm MT or 10:59 p.m. PT.  Head on over to my online store for all the details.  

Today I have a card that was inspired by May May Made it.  I saw how she made these little quilted circles and placed them into a cross using a patterned paper.  It inspired me to try out her method.  I had to change the circle sizes and Stampin' Up! does not currently have the size circle punch she used.  I altered the measurements to fit the 1 3/4" punch, grabbed some wood paper, and put this card together using Stampin' Up! products.  I hope you give this a try.  I do love how it looks.  To watch the video tutorial where I show you how to create it, head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Sending good vibes two-tone floral card

 For my card today, I've focused on using the new two-tone cardstock that Stampin' Up! has recently released in all our colors.  I thought I'd give it a try and show my customers how it looks and what you can do with it.  I do love the options for two colors of cardstock from the same sheet of paper.  On my card today, I've used the Petunia Pop & Old Olive two-tone.  Because the two-tone cardstock has a white core (as compared to our dyed-through 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock) you can do some fun techniques with it.  Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Fun Fold Angle Cut Card with Detailed Dogwood & watercolor pencils

I have a new fun fold for you today, at least new to me.  I saw Ange McKay make a fun fold very similar to this yesterday, and had to try it.  Her card was a tri-fold card and I didn't want to use a whole sheet of cardstock, so I altered it for a bi-fold card that you can make two card bases from one sheet of cardstock. When I made my original sample, I colored my focal image with Stampin' Blends markers.  I was then inspired by Linda Dalke to try my hand at some water coloring with the watercolor pencils.  I've forgotten how much I love using them.   So for this card, I've colored my image with the watercolor pencils.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay on YouTube.
