For my second card this week, I've chosen to use the Artisan Sketched Garden dsp for my focal image and brought in some awesome new scalloped dies coming out on the 5th of May. I've paired it again with the April POTM Eyelet Blooms dies and used the die for it's intended use and as an embossed piece.

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.

You can find it by clicking this link.

Cutest Cows meets Impressions Abloom in a cookie box
I have a treat box today which uses new product, Impressions Abloom, and mixes with older product, Cutest Cows, (currently in the last chance category in my online store and discounted.) I had purchased a large box of limited-edition Keebler®️ butterbeer flavored mini cookies. I finally got around to making a box for them. I had a hard time because of the Harry Potter theme and not having any supplies for that. So I had this great idea last night (at least I thought it was) to combine the Impressions Abloom flowers with the milk can and cow as butter is made from milk products and butter is used in the making of butterscotch. I know, its a stretch but it did turn out pretty cute don't you think? You can watch the video tutorial on making this box over on my YouTube channel.

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 card with Floral Impressions suite of products by Stampin' Up!
One of my friends challenged me to recreate the fun fold of a card she had seen online. The blog post didn't have measurements and/or a tutorial of any sort. So, I set to work trying to figure out the measurements and how it had been done. The card below is what I came up with. I hope you like it. The fun fold is extremely easy to make. I hope you recreate one like it using your supplies. To see the video replay on how I put my card together, watch the video over on my YouTube channel. While you're there, if you haven't already, be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you will know each time I upload a video and/or go live.

Theater Candy treat box with Gallery Blooms, Paper Tags
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there today! I hope you are enjoying a day of relaxation and spoiling. I made these boxes with the idea they could be given on Mother's Day to your mothers, friends, family, etc. They would also make a great teacher's gift or small birthday gift for a friend who loves Junior Mints like me! They are so easy to make, you can knock them out pretty quickly if you still need something special to give to your mom. To see how I put this box together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.
Forever Loved, Forever Remembered with Gallery Blooms
Today I'm using the Gallery Blooms bundle and pairing it with a sentiment stamp set from the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. My grandson just lost his paternal great-grandmother, and I thought it would be nice to make this card for him and his family members. Remembrance cards/Sympathy cards are the hardest to make in the moment of loss. I like to keep some on hand in case I need them. To see how I've put my card together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Rainbow arched lattice birthday card
Hello all. For my card today, I’ve gone slightly outside the box and combined the Everyday Arches dies with the Linked Together dies. I do love how the two together can be trimmed to make an arched lattice. It took a bit to figure out how to make it work, but once it came together, I loved it. To see how I’ve put this one together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

It's a good day to celebrate birthday card
The card I have for you today continues using those Sale a-bration free items Stampin' Up! offered through February 28. I showed this card during a live tutorial on Thursday before SAB ended. However, if you don't have that particular stamp set, you can use any small Happy Birthday, confetti or other sentiment you have in your stash and still make a card very similar. The technique of making your own designer series paper is the main focus here. The remaining images from this card are all still available in current stamp sets available in my online store. You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel where I show you how to make your own paper and how to make your own banner piece to fit the die cut banner from Birthday Celebration dies.
