New Framed Scenes Bundle & the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper FUN Fold Card!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

I’m so excited to share a Fun Fold card with you today, featuring the brand-new Framed Scenes Bundle and the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper! These two products pair beautifully to create a cozy, nature-inspired card that’s perfect for any occasion.

The Framed Scenes Stamp Set is all about capturing peaceful moments in nature. With five detailed, colorable images—including a charming cottage, lighthouse, treehouse, and more—you can create serene little landscapes for your projects. Whether you use them as a card’s focal point or an accent piece for a scrapbook layout, these images add a lovely touch of rustic charm. And don’t forget the coordinating Framed Scenes Dies! They allow you to cut out your vignettes effortlessly and even include a woodgrain die for adding natural texture.

To complement these stamps and dies, I chose the Botanical Textures 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper—You’ll love the versatility of the Botanical Textures Paper, which combines organic designs with grayscale tones! With both large-scale and small-scale designs, this paper works great for both card making and scrapbooking.

Now, let’s get crafting! I’ve got a special Facebook LIVE video tutorial that will guide you step by step through this Fun Fold card. Click below to watch and craft along with me!

Let me know in the comments—what do you love most about the Framed Scenes Bundle? Happy stamping!

Peony Garden Suite

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

A Happy 4th of July for my US friends! My Canadian friends celebrated Canada Day on the 1st of July and a happy day to the rest of my stampin’ friends around the world!!

Today I’d like to share with you the beauty of the Peony Garden Suite. Grab a cup of coffee if you’d like, I will be sharing a quick video to introduce you to the products included in this suite …

This quick little video shows just a glance at the beauty of this suite. Tomorrow for my Simply Sunday series I will share some quick & beautiful cards using the Peony Garden Designer Series paper. Here’s another look at the products ….

You can see how these amazing dies can build up a peony to send to a friend or you can just stamp the image as on the gray card and color it. So many ways to use this suite.

I love this card … it was created with the die cuts but used a coloring technique to create the two tone effects of the flower petals – so beautiful. Then stamp was colored with markers and then stamped onto the cardstock and the background is one of the pretty designs in the Peony Garden Designer paper.

My Peony lovers are going to be enchanted with this gorgeous suite. Stop back tomorrow for Simply Sunday and see what I have to share with you.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy “your” celebration! Thanks for stopping by.

Here is a list of the product I used to today’s cards. Find out more information about these products by clicking on the image … or you can begin your shopping from here as well. Thank you!
