Are you ready to ring in the holidays with the enchanting Jolly Holly Bundle? 🎄 I’ve got another video — and 2 brand-new cards — to inspire your holiday crafting!
This delightful collection includes a stunning stamp set, a versatile hybrid embossing folder, and coordinating dies that work together to create festive magic. Whether you’re crafting holiday cards, gift tags, or even seasonal décor, the Jolly Holly Bundle is a must-have for your Christmas in July projects (and beyond!).
✨ Card #1: Ringing in the Holidays For my first project, I wanted to use the stamps from the bundle – and choose the bells! The bells were colored with the Smoky Slate and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends…. then added some Wink of Stella for sparkle.
The bells were popped on to decorative circles die cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies, layered onto a strip of “Season of Elegance” Designer paper … and a background created with the Soft Waves embossing folder …
✨ Card #2: Elegant Holly in Vanilla Now for a simple yet stunning card. For the second card, I used the Hybrid Embossing Folder again — with two simple techniques, embossing and then the emboss / cut and fussy cutting the holly out to create simple embellishments.
🎥 You can see exactly how these cards were made … Watch the step-by-step tutorial in the video below — you’ll see just how simple (and fun!) it is to make both projects. CLICK HERE TO WATCH

Get ready to deck your halls — and your craft table — with the enchanting Jolly Holly Bundle! This delightful collection features a stunning stamp set, a versatile embossing folder, and coordinating dies that work together to create festive magic. Whether you’re crafting holiday cards, gift tags, or even seasonal décor, this bundle is a must-have for your Christmas in July projects (and beyond!).
✨ Card #1: Classic & Elegant with Old Olive For my first project, I pulled out the Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock from the Wildflower Celebrations Two-Tone cardstock and ran it through the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder. The texture this creates is simply beautiful — crisp holly leaves with rich detail that instantly say “holiday elegance.”
The technique of using the sanding block to expose the white core, is what transforms the cardstock and our card. Coloring the berries with the Stampin’ Blends adds yet another level of holiday delight …
✨ Card #2: The Magic of the Hybrid Embossing Folder + Die Now for a little crafting magic! For the second card, I used the Hybrid Embossing Folder again — but this time paired it with the coordinating die. The result? A dimensional, cut-and-embossed design that practically leaps off the cardstock. It’s the perfect way to step up your card designs and impress anyone who receives them. And I did this by cutting apart the cardstock and using the holly to embellish my card ….

Today we’re going to discover the versatility and elegance the Beautiful Gallery Designer paper encompass. Whether you’re drawn to its moody landscapes or delicate floral sketches, this collection provides the perfect backdrop for projects that feel both classic and creatively fresh. I can’t wait to share these fun and creative ideas with you!
Step into an old-world art gallery with the exquisite Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper—a true masterpiece in papercrafting! This collection captures the charm of classic European galleries with its moody landscapes, delicate floral sketches, and richly textured backdrops. Whether you’re drawn to the soft, weathered brushstrokes or the deep, dramatic tones, this paper has something to stir the artist in every crafter.
With a versatile palette that includes Basic Beige, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow, Secret Sea, and Peach Pie, alongside grounding neutrals like Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso, you’ll find endless ways to let your creativity flow. Add layers of elegance to a scrapbook page, create a card that feels like a canvas, or make tags that look like they belong in a museum gift shop. This paper is more than pretty—it’s expressive, eclectic, and beautifully bold.
Looking for a unique way to showcase the stunning patterns in the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper? Simply frame it! I selected two of my favorite designs and placed them in classic frames—instantly transforming them into elegant, gallery-style art pieces. Pair them with cherished family photos, like snapshots of grandparents or meaningful moments, and create a heartfelt collage on your wall. It’s a simple yet sophisticated way to bring both beauty and memory into your home décor.
Here’s another fun and unique way to display this beautiful paper—I used an open-faced frame to create a birthday card “stand”! How clever is that? It turns a handmade card “front” into a piece of framed art, perfect for someone to display on their desk at work or at home. It’s a thoughtful twist on traditional card-giving and a lovely way to let your creativity shine beyond the envelope.
One of my favorite ways to stretch the use of designer paper is by stamping directly onto it—and the Beautiful Gallery DSP is perfect for this! When I came across the stunning seascape design, I immediately pictured it with the lighthouse image from the Framed Scenes Stamp Set. With just a bit of simple coloring, the scene came to life! It’s amazing how easily you can transform patterned paper into a custom focal point. I used it to create a one-of-a-kind card that blends artistic texture with heartfelt stamping—truly the best of both worlds.
The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is truly a must-have for any crafter who loves to blend artistry with versatility. Whether you choose to frame it as stunning wall art, create unique card displays, or personalize it with your own stamped images, this collection offers endless possibilities to inspire your creativity. (Note: All frames were purchased at the $ $tore)
I hope these project ideas encourage you to explore the timeless beauty and flexible designs of Beautiful Gallery DSP in your own crafting. Happy creating!

It feels so good to be back creating and sharing with you again—and today I’ve got two beautiful cards to show you, featuring the Sunflower 3-D Embossing Folder. I have to tell you, this folder is pure magic. My head is spinning with all the ideas and techniques I want to try using it—seriously, it’s a creative goldmine!
For both of today’s cards, I started with one of my favorite and super simple techniques: inking directly onto the embossing folder. Yep, you heard that right! I tapped my Misty Moonlight ink pad directly onto the side of the folder where the image is concave. Once your paper is inside and you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, the ink hugs all the right places and leaves you with the most amazing textured print. And that’s just the beginning!
My first card design takes that embossed and inked background and cuts it into three panels (from a 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece). I mounted the panels onto a Misty Moonlight mat cut to 5 1/4″ x 4″, creating a striking visual with just a bit of white space between the strips. Then, to add a touch of softness and extra texture, I tied a simple bow with linen ribbon. The greeting? It’s from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin Kit—a great reminder of why I love and keep subscribing to Paper Pumpkin each month. Those exclusive stamp sets are treasures I reach for again and again!
Now, the second card… is what happens when you stamp with a friend and she has colorful ideas!! Wow, and does it pop with color! After embossing the image, I used a sponge dauber to lightly apply Crushed Curry over the sunflower petals. Then I went a bit bolder, deepening the flower centers with more intense color. To really bring out the detail, I used a flat paintbrush to tap on a bit of Pecan Pie ink—and the result is absolutely gorgeous! I framed this beauty using the Textured Notes Dies (just trim your embossed panel slightly smaller than the frame), then mounted it to a Misty Moonlight card base.
To finish it off, I used one of my go-to greetings from The Right Words stamp set—perfect sentiments for just about any occasion. I die-cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies, which always seem to give my cards that polished look.
These two cards are just a peek at what’s possible with this Sunflower 3-D folder—and trust me, you’re going to want it in your collection. It’s a staple for any season and pairs beautifully with your favorite inks and techniques. So go ahead—treat yourself to a little creative joy!
And if you’re not already subscribed to Paper Pumpkin, now’s the perfect time to jump in. The stamps alone are worth it, and the kits offer fresh ideas every month. (Not to mention, they coordinate beautifully with products you already love.)
As always, I hope today’s projects spark a little inspiration in your heart. If you need any of the supplies mentioned—or have questions—I’m here to help. Happy stamping, friends!

Have you tried the Emboss and Sand technique yet? Today I’m excited to walk you through this simple but stunning technique using products from the Floral Impressions Suite—specifically the Impressions Abloom Bundle and the Pressed Flowers 3D Embossing Folder. This card showcases the kind of beautiful texture and detail you can achieve when you pair the right tools with the gorgeous Two-Tone cardstock—currently on sale!
For this project, I used the Bubble Bath Two-Tone Cardstock from the Meant to Be Two-Tone cardstock pack. I chose the darker side of the cardstock to run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Pressed Flowers folder. This particular folder is packed with delicate detail, and when paired with Two-Tone cardstock, the results are instantly elevated. Once embossed, I gently sanded the raised areas using a sanding block—though a piece of fine-grit sandpaper would work just as well. The sanding reveals the white inner core of the cardstock, creating a beautiful contrast and allowing the embossed floral design to pop right off the page.
To give the card extra texture and softness, I wrapped the embossed piece with White and Smoky Slate Baker’s Twine. This adds just the right touch of dimension without taking away from the focal elements. I used the coordinating dies from the Impressions Abloom Bundle to cut out several flowers. Three of the smaller flowers were finished off with a tiny sparkle from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, tying the entire palette together beautifully.
For the sentiment, I stamped a heartfelt thank you from the Impressions Abloom Stamp Set, which is filled with warm, encouraging sayings and lovely floral accents. I then die-cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies, which gave it that clean, polished look I love.
The finished card feels soft, dainty, and full of charm—perfect for sending a thoughtful thank-you to a friend or loved one. And while the card may look intricate, it’s really all about letting the tools and materials do the work for you. The Emboss and Sand technique truly shines when paired with the Two-Tone cardstock, and right now is the perfect time to stock up while it’s on sale.
If you’ve been curious about Two-Tone cardstock or looking for new ways to make your embossing folders stand out, give this technique a try. It’s a wonderful way to add texture, depth, and a custom finish to your handmade cards—and it’s easier than you might think. Let your creativity bloom!

Whether you’re an avid scrapbooker, a card-making enthusiast, or just love having beautiful, versatile paper on hand, this is one deal you won’t want to miss.

Today’s blog post is all about texture, dimension, and one absolutely gorgeous sunflower! I’m thrilled to spotlight two cards featuring the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, one of the newly released Online Exclusives. So many of you reached out and told me this was a product you were excited to see in action—and I can definitely see why!
Both of today’s cards use simple, approachable techniques that anyone can try—yet they pack a serious WOW factor. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stamper, this folder is going to bring a touch of nature’s beauty to your paper crafting in the most elegant way.
The first card is simply layering cardstock colors to create an impact, and what better colors to use on this 4th of July weekend … than Red, White & Blue!! (Real Red, Basic White, and Blueberry Bliss that is!)
This embossing folder is stunning. It creates such a bold, detailed impression that you almost don’t need to add anything else—but of course, I couldn’t resist playing around with and really let that sunflower shine.
Besides the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, I used the Right Words stamp set, and the Stylish Shapes Dies. I wanted to use minimal products so you could easily recreate these cards.

This class is more than just paper and ink—it’s a moment carved out just for you. A chance to recharge, create, and walk away feeling refreshed (and maybe a little more inspired).
Let’s make this a summer to remember—one card at a time. I can’t wait to stamp with you!
Today, we’re walking through the doors of the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection—and let me just say, it’s gallery-worthy in every sense of the word. If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up the serenity of a painted landscape or the elegance of a hand-sketched bloom, this suite is your dream come true.
From the soft watercolored scenery to the striking floral motifs, every piece in this collection feels like it belongs on the wall of your favorite art museum—except we get to cut it, layer it, stamp it, and send it off to make someone’s day!
This bundle is more than just pretty paper (though the DSP is swoon-worthy). It’s a complete experience, perfect for cardmakers, scrapbookers, and tag-makers alike! You’ll find:
Painted landscapes and sketched floral patterns in the Designer Series Paper
All-occasion sentiments that are both warm and versatile
A beautifully detailed embossing folder to add texture and depth
And my personal favorite: coordinating dies that make your stamped images pop!
Whether you’re preserving a moment in a scrapbook or sending a little happy mail, this suite has everything you need to make it memorable.
In today’s video, I’ll walk you through two card designs using the Beautiful Gallery Bundle—and you’re going to love how quickly these come together. But wait… there’s a twist! I’m also showing you a fun new way to use your Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter. Hint: it’s not just for “fixing” anymore.
Think of it like adding brushstrokes to your own mini canvas. It’s a subtle but oh-so-artistic technique that gives your coloring a soft, watercolor-like effect.
✨ Ready to get inspired?
How did you like the new technique I shared using the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter? Isn’t that such a fun and unexpected way to soften your color application? ✨
Instead of just correcting color “oopsies,” the Color Lifter becomes a true blending tool—giving your stamped images a soft, watercolor-like wash. It adds a dreamy, almost painted look that pairs beautifully with the hand-sketched elements in this suite.
If you’ve never tried this before, I highly recommend giving it a go. It’s one of those little tricks that makes a big impact!
With the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection, you can create a whole world of creativity from your craft space. Add some ink, your favorite cardstock, and a bit of adhesive—and you’re ready to turn paper into art.
Thank you so much for joining me today …. Remember, I go LIVE with a FREE Class on Tuesday nights on my Facebook page. Join me HERE!
