New Class Announcement: Floral Impressions + Final Hours of the Suite Sale

Posted in CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT, HANDMADE CARDS, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope your Monday is off to a beautiful start. Before we dive into all the fun today, I have two quick—but important!—reminders for you.

First up… Today is the LAST DAY of the Suite Sale / BOGO offer!
This is one of those deals you truly don’t want to miss. For every suite you purchase, you get another of equal or lesser value free. It’s a perfect opportunity to grab that suite you’ve had your eye on—maybe even one of the newer collections from the Annual Catalog or upcoming Mini. Whether you’re into florals, whimsical animals, cozy fall themes, or holiday magic, there’s something for everyone. But remember, this offer ends tonight, so don’t wait too long!

Now for something I’m really excited about…

🌺 Introducing: The Floral Impressions Class! 🌺
If you’ve seen the Floral Impressions Suite, you already know how stunning it is—rich colors, subtle patterns, and floral designs that practically bloom right off the page. In this upcoming class, we’ll explore everything this suite has to offer. You’ll receive a full kit with all the supplies you need to make four beautiful cards, each one showcasing a different feature of the suite. From the impressionistic patterned paper to the versatile stamp set and coordinating dies, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to use it all. And I’ll have a fun fold card for you as well!

But it’s more than just a class—it’s a creative gathering.

Come enjoy a morning (or evening!) filled with stamping, laughter, inspiration, and of course… snacks! 🥰 Whether you’re bringing a friend or coming solo, you’ll leave with beautiful cards and maybe even a few new crafty friendships. I say it all the time, but I truly believe I have the best stampin’ friends around. There’s always room for more at the table—we’d love to have you join us. RSVP by calling the number listed / or message me on Facebook!

Here are a few card samples I’ve created using the designer paper. And in the meantime, don’t forget to snag your suites during the BOGO before the day slips away.

You may have seen this one when I showcased the last week. I paired the Floral Impressions Designer paper with the Everyday Arches Suite. This paper just makes me happy!

The second card I’d like to share with you, is a combination of the new Party Dies Bundle (I was showcasing when it first came out) and another pretty pattern from the Floral Impressions Designer Paper. They sure compliment each other well, don’t they!?

Let’s keep creating, connecting, and building our beautiful little stamping community—one card at a time.

With creativity and gratitude,
Linda

Flutter into Creativity with the Beautiful Bokeh Suite 🦋

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back, stampers! Today I’m beyond excited to spotlight the Beautiful Bokeh Suite, a gorgeous collection that truly elevates your crafting with both ease and elegance. This suite combines dreamy butterfly motifs, stunning bokeh-patterned papers, and a clever hybrid embossing folder and die set—all in one coordinated collection.

The hybrid embossing folder is a true game‑changer: you can emboss delicate butterfly silhouettes for added texture, or pair the folder with its matching die to cut and emboss in a single pass—a real time‑saver that delivers incredible detail every time. These ready‑to‑use butterflies are a beautiful focal point on any card or tag.

What truly sets this suite apart is the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper—a soft palette of images that mimic shimmering light and pair effortlessly with the butterfly designs. Whether you use the 6″×6″ paper behind embossed butterflies or stamp and die‑cut matching accents, your projects will glow with a professional finish.

I’ve shared how versatile and beginner‑friendly this suite is. Watch the video as I combine the embossing folder, die, DSP, and shimmer gems to craft a striking Balmy Blue butterfly card—proof that this suite plays well with additional supplies like gems and cut‑out accents!

Here’s why you will love this suite:

  • Fast, detailed results — emboss or emboss & cut butterflies in one go
  • Coordinated elegance — with designer paper, stamps, dies, and embellishments
  • Mix‑and‑match friendly — works beautifully with many cardstock colors and extras like shimmer gems and ribbon
  • Inspiration aplenty — plentiful tutorials available, from clean & simple to layered masterpieces!

This card shows the ability to cut out the main butterfly and turn it into a stunning “shape” card. The front was watercolored with our ink refills and water.

This is the perfect moment to bring this suite home. It’s featured in the Suite Sale / BOGO event—buy any suite, get a second one at half price until June 30th—and it’s online-exclusively available now lindasstampinescape.com. Whether you’re adding to your crafting stash or picking up a gift for a friend, it’s a beautiful time to join in.

Check out this collaboration with the Paper Pumpkin kit …

I have yet another Beautiful Bokeh and Paper Pumpkin combo for you. Watch the video for step by step instructions and the measurements for this fun fold card ….

I hope you have enjoyed the stunning card samples featuring everything this suite can do—from delicate white-on-white elegance to vibrant layered designs and soft pastel harmony. Each one highlights different techniques —these designs are crafted to spark ideas for birthdays, thank-you notes, friendship cards, and more!

This card uses the Bokeh designer paper as a mat (and peeks through under the butterfly), the folder with the die, the die to cut the detailed butterfly out of the Ombre Glitter paper, and the embellishments to complete the card.

Ready to Fly?

Take advantage of the Suite Sale/BOGO and bring the Beautiful Bokeh Suite into your craft room. Not only will you get full-coordination, but you’ll also pick up a second suite at half price—perfect for layering on creativity or gifting to a fellow stamper.

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

The sky truly is the limit with the Everyday Skies Suite Collection! Whether you’re a brand-new stamper or a seasoned creator, this suite offers endless inspiration. The mix of soft pastels and bold hues in the designer series paper captures every sky—sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between. It’s like having a little piece of serenity at your fingertips.

What makes this suite so special is its versatility. The Everyday Arches Dies create such a unique shape—it’s playful, modern, and fresh. Whether you’re framing a greeting, layering a scene, or creating a clean and simple focal point, these dies do the heavy lifting for you. They even lend themselves beautifully to more advanced techniques, like shaker cards (just imagine the possibilities)!

I’ve created several samples to show just how flexible this suite really is. You’ll find everything from soft encouragement cards to bold birthday designs. Whether you’re crafting for a friend, family member, or just expressing yourself creatively, this suite fits the occasion.

The coordinating sentiments and embellishments round everything out with heartfelt messages of support and friendship. It’s a suite that encourages meaningful creating—cards with purpose, scrapbook pages that tell a story, and projects that lift others up.

💡 Creative Tip: The arched dies also work beautifully with other stamp sets and papers you may already own—giving your current supplies a fresh new twist.

✨ Even better news? The Suite Sale / BOGO is happening now! When you buy one suite from the Annual Catalog or Online Exclusives, you can choose a second suite at half price. That makes this the perfect time to grab the Everyday Skies Suite—and maybe pair it with another favorite you’ve been eyeing. But don’t wait too long… this sale ends June 30th!

If you’re someone who appreciates flexibility, thoughtful design, and timeless images, this suite is well worth adding to your collection. You don’t need to be a professional crafter to make beautiful things—you just need the right tools and a bit of inspiration!

📌 Want to recreate these looks or try something new with the Everyday Skies Suite? Let me know! I’m always here to help guide you with ideas, or product support.

These designs work beautifully for both cards and scrapbook pages—ideal for capturing everyday magic or big life moments. This sweet card warms my heart.

A touch of color with the use of the blending brush, makes our main character pop. Perfect card to say hello as our sweet little bunny watches the butterflies fluttering overhead.

And here’s the exciting part—during our Suite BOGO Sale, when you buy one suite, you can get another suite for half off! That’s an incredible value and the perfect way to stock up on beautiful, coordinating products that make creating easier and more fun.

This card takes me back to yester-year, those days gone by when couples strolled down the sidewalks for an evening walk … flowers don’t hurt either!

When you purchase a full suite, you get everything you need to craft with confidence—coordinated stamps, paper, embellishments, and dies, all designed to work together effortlessly. Whether you’re new to stamping or a seasoned creator, these suites save time, reduce guesswork, and give your projects that polished, professional finish.

I love the way these sweet bunnies (cut from designer paper) are playing within the arches … it’s a fun way to highlight the arches dies. This card would make a cute spring, birthday or thinking of you card as well.

If you’ve had your eye on these (or any other) suites, now’s the perfect time to treat yourself. With this sale, you can invest in your creativity and still stay on budget. Take advantage of the BOGO offer to build your collection, plan ahead for fall crafting, or simply enjoy the joy of creating with products that inspire.

How to Make Peaceful, Nature-Inspired Cards with Peaceful Pier

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Do you know someone whose perfect day is sitting on a quiet pier with a fishing pole in hand? Maybe it’s your dad, a friend, or even you! The Peaceful Pier Stamp Set is perfect for capturing that calm, reflective moment—and today, I’m excited to share two card projects that bring that peaceful scene to life.

This stamp set features a beautiful collection of images: a rustic wooden pier, a young fisherman, fish, trees, and thoughtful sentiments to let someone know they’re on your mind. It’s a versatile set that works well for masculine cards, nature lovers, or anyone who enjoys a quiet escape by the water. Let’s look at my first card …..

The two cards I’m sharing today are extra special. One showcases a creative new stamping technique that adds texture and depth to your images, and the other features a unique fun fold that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re an experienced stamper or just starting out, these cards are simple to make but full of charm. I walk you through both projects in a step-by-step video tutorial so you can follow along and recreate them with ease.

Now more than ever, sending a handmade card is a simple way to stay connected and show someone you care. Imagine how touched someone would be to receive a card that feels like their happy place, stamped just for them.

If you already own the Peaceful Pier set, it’s time to ink it up and create something meaningful. And if it’s on your wish list—why wait? This is one you’ll reach for again and again, especially for those hard-to-make masculine cards. Be sure to watch the video for instructions and inspiration, and don’t forget to leave a comment letting me know who your “peaceful pier” card would be for.

Let’s get creative—because stamping, like fishing, is all about patience, joy, and taking a little time to enjoy the moment.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

A Stunning Alternative Card with Inked Occasions

Posted in Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

As promised, friends! If you caught my latest video, you know I couldn’t wait to share another stunning card using the Inked Occasions April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit — and this one is a real showstopper.

I started with the gorgeous card base that’s beautifully infused with gold detailing (seriously, it’s almost too pretty to cut… almost!). I sliced it in half, then trimmed one side down to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″. To give it a dramatic frame, I layered it onto Basic Black cardstock cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ — the contrast really makes that gold pop! This was then mounted on a Berry Burst card base, bringing in a vibrant touch that plays so well with the florals.

Now for the WOW factor… the gold veins running through the design inspired me to reach for my Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. I die-cut the most intricate butterfly from the Gold Foil Sheets, and friends — it is GORGEOUS. Elegant, eye-catching, and the perfect complement to this design.

To finish it off, I stamped a sentiment from the exclusive Inked Occasions stamp set (another gem in this kit!) and sprinkled on a few Holographic Resin Dot embellishments for a little sparkle. These little beauties will be available when the Annual Catalog goes LIVE May 6th!

💡 PRO TIP: Don’t be afraid to cut up your kit pieces — with a little imagination, the possibilities are endless! When you cut those card bases in half, you double the output of your kits! That means even more gorgeous cards from one monthly box. Talk about getting the most out of your Paper Pumpkin subscription!

Thanks for crafting with me today — let me know in the comments if you’ve tried an alternative project with your Paper Pumpkin kit. I’d love to see what you’re making!

Happy Stamping,
Linda 💕
