A Year of Flowers July Birthday Card

Today is my sweet sister-in-law's birthday!  I made this card for her with the Year of Flowers stamp set/dies bundle paired with the Seasons of Elegance DSP and Nested Essentials dies. 


I used White Willow, Mossy Meadow, and Old Olive cardstock, black ink, and colored pencils.  I hope that she was a wonderful day and knows how special she is!

June Card Class #4:

Our final card of our monthly class is always the most advanced, and this one might deceive you at first with its simplicity!

In addition to the Notes & Totes bundle, we added the 3D Waves embossing folder and a tearing technique.

The inside is the wow factor!


The tote could hold a gift card or cash!


If you'd like to recreate this yourself, please consider shopping with me HERE if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Thank you!  Also, my July card and scrapbooking class will be 7/27 at 3 PM in my home.  Let me know if you'd like to attend!  Or if you'd rather I custom design a class for you and a few friends, let me know!

June Card Class #3: You're Fabulous

This card really needs to be viewed in person to see all of the details!  I started with that beautiful tote bag die cut from a piece of Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" DSP and filled it with "sprigs" from the Beautiful Motifs dies from that suite.

What is challenging to see here is the 3D damask embossing on the Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover panels.

June Card Class #2: Just a Note

The Notes and Totes bundle is so fun for summer (although you can be sure I am going to carry it across all seasons this year)!  The second card we made featured the bundle (stamp set and dies) paired with Celebratory Sips DSP.

I used Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green, and White Willow cardstock.  The flowers were made with Impressions Abloom dies.  I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss (and wish I had tucked it into the tote bag instead of floating it on the card front).

June Card Class #1: Celebratory Sips

Since Stampin' Up! is a side hustle for me, I am not very good at preparing in advance for my classes to advertise the projects we are going to make, and I am very grateful for my faithful friends who trust me to teach classes they will enjoy!  (You can always see past projects to see if you'd like to attend.)


The first card we made uses Celebratory Sips DSP.  We fussy cut the drinks from a sheet of DSP for a fun celebrate card.  (The sentiment is from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss.)

My July card and scrapbooking class will be 7/27 at 3 PM in my home.  Let me know if you'd like to attend!  Or if you'd rather I custom design a class for you and a few friends, let me know!

Impressions Abloom Flag Card

Happy Independence Day!  I made this flag card using Real Red, Night of Navy, and Basic White card stock and the Floral Impressions dies.


The six Real Red stripes measure 5 1/2"x3/4" and the Night of Navy rectangle is 2 1/2"x2".  I ended up using 28 of the die cut flowers (which fortunately the two dies each cut three flowers at a time).  I'm including this card in the Color Dare #659 challenge to use red and blue.

Wishing you the best today and always!

Thinking of You Red, White, & Blue Card

Who is ready to celebrate the Fourth of July?  I thought it would be fun to try a patriotic floral card with the Impressions Abloom dies paired with the new Layered Thoughts stamp set. 


At first I thought I was going to make a side-fold card but realized that I wanted to use the Layered Thoughts stamp set and a top-fold worked better.  I used the Real Red stripes from the new Regals 6"x6" DSP.  Everything else was cut with White Willow, Real Red, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, and Garden Green card stock.  I stamped my sentiment in the oval frame with Night of Navy ink.  A few rhinestone gems finished off this card.  

BTW, you might see this on my socials with the #GDP503 for the Global Design Team's Flowers challenge.

A Year of Flowers 2025 Title Page

With the Month by Month Virtual Album Retreat coming soon, I decided that I was going to use this bundle to scrapbook my 2025 stories, memories, and photos, so I made a title page with A Year of Flowers bundle.  

I used Regals Stampin' Write Markers to color my flowers and decided on Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for my cardstock (plus Basic White and Black).  I used a piece of Floral Impressions DSP for interest.  The 2025 banner was stamped with one of the stamps in the virtual album retreat bundle.

It's not too late to order you virtual album retreat bundle!  You can find it HERE by searching for virtual album retreat or item number 167338.

Sunglasses Card

Happy National Sunglasses Day!


Using the Notes and Totes bundle, I die cut the sunglasses from the 25-27 In Colors: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea (plus Black).  Then I stamped the sentiment in black and the sun in Darling Duckling.  An In Color flat gem and a black mat finished off this quick card.

Spring Break Impressions Abloom Layout

At my recent virtual retreat, I taught the participants how to create this layout using only 6"x6" squares of the Impressions Abloom DSP and the coordinating stamp set/dies.  (They did have to add their own 12"x12" White Willow cardstock base pages.) 

It was a great way for me to scrapbook my fun spring break earlier this year!


Sorry for the glare, but I taught the participants how to use flip flaps to add more photos to their pages, so I needed to put the layout into the memory protectors.


Here are the flip flaps opened up to show more photos.


Please reach out to me if you'd like to know more!
