I am excited to share the “FAUX” Step Card that I shared with my Stamp Club in February. I have my Facebook LIVE video to share with you so you can see how easy it is to create this FUN FOLD card. I’m also sharing the dimensions with you.
Let’s take a look at the video now …
Dimensions:
Card Base: Old Olive: 9” x 4-1/4” then Score at 1-1/4”, 2-1/2” and 5-3/4”
Cardstock #2: Old Olive Center Step: 8-1/2” x 2-1/4” then Score and fold at 5-1/2”
Cardstock #3: Basic White 3″ x 4″ for inside of card / Scrap of white for greeting
Designer Paper #1: Expressions in Ink for Center Step 2″ x 5-1/4″ and Striped paper 4″ x 4″ cut off 1″ from bottom so it aligns during assembly
I find it easiest to lay the card base out flat when attaching the designer paper, as shown in the video. Then use your favorite adhesive to attach the center flap … you’ll want to make sure to center and align the front flap to the bottom, then attach to the back.
.
Ahhh … Don’t you just love making quick & easy cards that look like you spent all day cutting and creating!! lol No one has to know that … right! Just image all the different designer papers or dies that you can use with this Fun Fold Faux Step Card.
Have fun creating and thank you for hanging out with me today.

I’ve got two cards to share with you today featuring the Quiet Meadow Bundle … another amazing bundle on sale now. I’ll also be sharing step by step directions so you can create these card.
Instructions: You’re Too Kind Card
1. Cut a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock to 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” (21 x 14.9 cm) and score at 4-1/4” (10.5 cm). This is your card base.
2. On a piece of Basic White Cardstock (2-3/4” x 4-3/4”; 7 x 12.1 cm), use the light shade from the Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack to color part of the panel. Stop halfway down the panel, then swap your Stampin’ Blends marker for the dark shade from the Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. Color the rest of the panel, starting slightly above the center to create an overlap of the two colors.
3. Use the wide, leafy die from the Meadow Dies to cut the card panel. Adhere the negative piece to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals . (Set the die-cut piece aside to use for the next project.)
4. Stamp the “You’re too kind” sentiment from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider ink on another piece of Basic White Cardstock (3-3/4” x 1-1/2”; 9.5 x 3.8 cm). Use the scalloped sentiment label die to cut the label, then adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Stamp the paint splatter image in Cinnamon Cider ink on Cinnamon Cider Cardstock (1-1/2” x 3-1/2”; 3.8 x 8.9 cm). Align both butterfly dies onto the splatter-stamped cardstock, cut, and adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
So …. what do you do with the piece that you die cut? Well … we make a card with it!
Instructions: Gathered with Love Card
1. Cut a piece of Cinnamon Cider Cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” (14.9 x 21 cm) and score at 4-1/4” (10.5 cm). This is your card base. 2. On another piece of Cinnamon Cider Cardstock (4” x 5-1/4”; 13.7 x 19.8 cm), add Cinnamon Cider ink to the script stamp from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. Stamp five times to build a scattered background. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card base. 3. Stamp the “Love” sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink on Petal Pink Cardstock (1-1/2” x 2-1/4”; 3.8 x 5.7 cm). Create the sentiment shape with the tiny tag die from the Meadow Dies, then string a piece of Linen Thread (12”; 30.5 cm) through the hole. Tie a knot, then tie a bow. 4. Cut a silhouette shape from Basic White Cardstock at (1-3/4” x 5-1/2”; 4.5 x 14.9 cm) with the dandelion die. Add Mini Glue Dots to the back of the shape, as well as to the die-cut shape from the previous project. Adhere both pieces to the card front—one on top of the other— to appear as a gathered bouquet.
5. Finish off by using a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere the tag.
Pretty cool right … and a fun technique to boot! Sometimes the simplest techniques can create some amazing cards.
Thank you for checking out my blog post today.

Today I’m going to share a tasty sweet treat of a card from the “Sweet as a Peach” … another amazing bundle on sale now. I’ll also be sharing the dimensions and step by step directions so you can create this card. It’s a happy Monday!
Measurements:
Card Base: Petal Pink- 8 ½” x 5 ½” (score on the long side at 4 ¼”)
Cardstock: Very Vanilla- 3 ½” x 4” for sentiment and flowers
Cardstock: Soft Sea Foam- small scrap for leaves
Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper: Dotted print is 1 ½” x 5 ½” & plaid print is 1” x 5 ½”
Instructions:
Fold card base in half and attach the dotted piece of designer paper to the card front on the right side along the edge using multipurpose liquid glue. Then, use the scalloped edge die on the card front along the opening about ½” from the edge. Run through the die cutting machine.
Then, add the plaid designer paper to the inside of the card so you can see it along the edge of the opening.
Stamp the trio of larger flowers on your Very Vanilla cardstock using Calypso Coral Ink and Memento Black for the centers and die cut using the matching die. Using the same piece of Very Vanilla cardstock die cut the scalloped square for the sentiment.
Stamp the small or mini trio of flowers in Calypso Coral ink on the card base as shown in the photo. Use second generation stamping where you ink up your stamp then stamp off one time on scrap paper before stamping on your project. This will give you a lighter shade of color.
Stamp the sentiments on the die cut scalloped piece using Memento Black ink.
Attach the sentiment to the card front as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add all flowers to the card front popping up the largest one by the sentiment and the medium one at the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Die cut 4 sets of the leaves using Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Use multipurpose liquid glue to attach the leaves near the flowers.
Add 3 Matte Black Dots around the sentiment and one Bumblebee Trinket on your card.
This is such a lovely bundle and makes creating “All Occasion” cards so easy and pretty. I hope you are enjoying the card tutorials, I love inspiring my stampin’ friends and helping you with your stamping needs.
Thank you for stopping by this Monday.

I have a treat for you today … a simple yet beautiful Slim Line card and a parade of other cards that were created from the amazing Beauty of the Earth Suite. I will also be sharing some fun techniques on these cards so, grab a cup of coffee and sit back with me while we go through these creative gems!
I share these because the Beauty of Friendship Bundle is part of the Savings in Bloom promotion. I will share “all” of the items on sale at the bottom of my post.
First up is my Slimline cards, this card fits in a business size envelope … I’m using two different patterns from the Beauty of the Earth Designer paper and joined them together with the pretty Gold Fine Art Ribbon; it has a touch of sparkle, so I had to add the Genial Gems to keep the sparkle going.
The greeting comes from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set / bundle. I chose the Cinnamon Cider as a mat and Merry Merlot as my card base … they pull those colors out of the designer paper. I find this suite / bundle very gender neutral … who wouldn’t love these cards!
My second card I’m using the same pattern of the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series paper and the Beautiful Trees dies. Another simple card when using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. The greeting comes from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set included in the bundle.
Ready to see another card using the same paper? The amazing thing is that each one looks sooo different! I used a landscape layout verses the portrait as I did on the first two cards and created this unique card. I also used Night of Navy on this card to pull out the blue in the designer paper.
I created the frame with the Stitched Rectangle Dies … I love this look, it’s new and fresh and highlights the designer paper. I added the tree and greeting from the bundle …
Now lets change things up a little by using a different pattern from our Beauty of the Earth Designer paper and a fun technique … the “Split Card Technique”. I’m using Old Olive and Early Espresso to coordinate with my designer paper. You can watch the video to see how to create this card yourself by CLICKING HERE!
Now I would like to bring in one of the “hottest designer papers” right now, and that is the NEW HORIZONS Designer paper … so many pretty patterns would work perfectly with the dies from the Beauty of the Earth bundle. The watercolor landscapes look so cool with the tree.
The next card I share with you has a card base is Early Espresso …. so is the tree itself, it made the Misty Moonlight designer paper from the Beauty of the Earth Designer paper really pop, and when I added the leaves to the trees … WOW! The leaves on the bottom are just another die cut of the top … just cut up into smaller pieces to lay upon the ground. So pretty!
The last card I have to share with you, has the same watercolor background paper that I used on the “You Inspire Me” card but I’m changing up the seasons. Once the leaves are gone … well, winter comes next, and it makes for the perfect Christmas card …
I just love this card and I used the Chalk pen and Wink of Stella to add snow to my tree! How fun is that! I just wanted to show you that this is not just another tree set, but a bundle / or suite that can be used for any season … or any reason!!
The Beauty of the Earth Suite is still available, but if you are just looking for the bundle … it’s 20% Off right now. I always wonder if Stampin’ Up! will retire a stamp set when they put it on sale … so if this is on your “Wish List”, you may want to consider getting it now and enjoy the extra savings!! You can click on any of the images below for details on the bundles or to begin shopping … it takes you directly to my store.
Thank you for joining me this Sunday for my card parade, I hope you enjoyed the many styles of cards. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m here today with these stunning Pansies!! I am so excited to share this with you today … I have combined an old technique with our new Pansy Petals and the results are stunning!
I have created a video for you from a past Facebook LIVE so you can watch step by step how I created these beautiful flowers so you can recreate this too…. They almost look real don’t they?
Isn’t that cool … I am in love with this technique! I loved it when I made pansies from the butterfly punch but these are so much more realistic!! It creates so much texture and depth when you “scrunch” your petals.
Those little white specs you see are actually the “shimmer” paper making a statement! It really is so pretty and you can do these in any color you’d like! Here is my inspiration to create these amazing pansies ….
Here is another card I made with the other colors of petals that I was experimenting with ….
Not bad for a 2 minute card!! I used the Pansy Petals Designer paper for my background and just added the flowers and my greeting … simple!
I said I was going to share my “inspiration pansy” with you today but I’m saving it for tomorrow … along with another card!! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by today!
Hope your day is an awesome one ~

Today I have several cards to share with you today … I have some quick & simple pansy cards that highlight Pansy Petal Bundle and the Pansy Petals Designer paper …
I’m using the Gorgeous Grape from the Ombre Specialty Paper … To view the original post to see how I created the “punched” tag, CLICK HERE.
Then I showed how easy it was to use the layering of the pansy images to create pretty hand stamped pansies ….
Many of you have used Two-Step stamp sets, and the Pansy stamps are no different. They are designed to layer color to create a beautiful flower. CLICK HERE to view the entire post.
Now I’d like to share another card that also highlights the designer paper, but also the dies… because these dies actually are designed to not only cut your stamped images but the images on the designer paper …
The cute pansy and leaves above were cut from the Pansy Petals Designer paper. They are layered on a piece of Basic White embossed with the “Greenery” Embossing Folder and backed with a piece of Blackberry Bliss … these are layered onto more Basic White that was embossed with the “Tasteful Texture” embossing folder. The embossing added some nice texture to the card.
If you like texture on your flower, then you’ll love the layered die cuts to create you pansy …
The dies not only cut but they emboss as well … amazing!! The layering of the die cuts gives you some fun texture on your cards, but that didn’t stop me from embossing the background with the “Painted Texture” embossing folder! I also added the cute little Elegant Faceted Gems to draw your eye around the card.
I have fallen in love with this suite, join me tomorrow and I’ll share a video of the watercoloring technique demonstrating how to create this amazing pansy ….
The Pansies are part of our March Savings promotion … if you have them or not, I hope I inspired you and brightened your day with this pretty flowers.
Thanks so much for hanging out with me for a spell today.
I hope your day is a beautiful one!!

Yesterday I shared the replay (video) of my Facebook LIVE and I told my viewers that I would show them what I created with all the left over vanilla sunflowers that I die cut … and I’m sharing that with everyone here today.
I attached the die cut flowers directly to a piece of Vanilla cardstock using the gluing technique I shared in the video and then trimmed the excess off … it creates a beautiful textured background …
Measurements:
Very Vanilla Cardbase: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ … Score & Fold at 4-1/4″
Very Vanilla Card front: 5-1/4″ x 4″ … Glue die cut sunflowers
Ombre Specialty paper and Very Vanilla Cardstock: Stamp Greeting and for die cutting the sunflowers
I stamped the sunflower in Bumblebee ink and the greeting “Hugs, Prayers, Love” in Night of Navy … this greeting comes from the Positive Thoughts Stamp set. These are pretty close to the colors of Ukraine and I wanted to send my prayers out in my own way. I matted the greeting with the Ombre Specialty paper in Night of Navy.
The entire cardfront was “popped up” using our Stampin’ Dimensionals and gives the card a nice finished look. I tried Night of Navy as a card base but I thought it took away from the greeting and I really wanted that to be a major focal point.
Thank you for joining me today.

I also will share the video created from last nights Facebook LIVE ….
As promised … I’m going to give you the measurements for the cards
Measurements:
Cardbase: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ … Score & Fold at 4-1/4″
Ombre Glimmer paper: 5-1/4″ x 4″
Cardstock for Sunflower Die Cut: 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Very Vanilla Inside Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″ plus scrap to punch greeting
This card is so cute and easy to make … After you die cut the sunflower out, you can place your flower back into the cut out area to create a unique look … I like mine embossed!!
Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors … it can really highlight the ombre paper underneath. Have some fun with it and add a patterned designer paper!!
I hope you caught my little tip for finding the perfect size greeting for the punch design you want to use … I do this all the time. Don’t forget to head over to my YouTube channel … there is a video that highlights the card you saw yesterday! CLICK HERE … and please subscribe!

Happy 1st Day of March!! That means spring is just around the corner and that makes me happy! Today I’d like to share three beautiful cards that I created with the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. They highlight the stamp set … I’d like to invite you to join me tonight for my Facebook LIVE where I will highlight the dies … I can’t wait until you see the amazing different looks for the dies.
Yesterday I shared the Savings Are in Bloom promotion and what excites me is they are bringing back the previously popular Art Gallery, Celebrate Sunflowers, and Garden Wishes bundles. They will only be available in their bundle form during this promotion, so make sure to snag ‘em while you still can!
Let’s begin with some simple beauty ….
I begin with Bumble Bee ink on Bumble cardstock and the small sunflower … creating your own background is a quick & easy was to add dimension to a card without layering. However, that didn’t stop me from adding layers … I wanted to highlight the flower (which is stamped off) and the greeting in Early Espresso stamped directly over it.
My next card also uses the small flower for my background on Very Vanilla, but this time only on the sides to frame the focal point … my large sunflower!
I used the Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, So Saffon and Soft Suede to create the realistic look on the sunflower. I colored my large sunflower the same way on my next card but then added a WOW ….
When I finished coloring the sunflower I coated it with VersaMark ink and then Heat Embossed it with clear embossing powder … WOW, that really brings out the color!! It looks so beautiful against the designer paper.
Tonight I will dazzle you with some wonderful tips/techniques using the sunflower dies. You can join me at 6:30 pm Central Time on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page! Here is the link: CLICK HERE Can’t wait to show you!
Enjoy your day and thanks for droppin’ in!

Thank you so much for joining me today. I’m here to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming Sale … the Sale-a-bration ending, or my Spring Stamping Retreat.
Today I have an amazing combination featuring the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper in our Sale-a-bration catalog and the Flowing Flowers stamp set from our Jan-June Mini Catalog. I highlighting all 6 colors from the paper and each of the flowers and greetings from the stamp set … yes, 6 cards today!!
Let’s get started! I’m going to share two cards using the same floral design, and because the designer paper has a “marble” and a “silky” appearance … I will show one of each. This will give you a good look at this amazing designer paper!
Going to start simple with basic stamping …. the flowers are “stamped off” using Highland Heather. The image is stamped three times across the cardstock and then our greeting is stamped directly on top in Gorgeous Grape. I also used the Gorgeous Grape as a mat to highlight my stamped images and the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper. I finished off this card with the pearlescent Elegant Faceted Gems.
My next card highlights the “Basic Gray” designer paper and again the small floral image … which I stamped onto Basic Gray cardstock to create my own background. This is a technique that has been around for some time … and with a strip of our designer paper, the combination is a hit and really draws your eye to the focal point … our greeting.
I used the “stamping off” technique again to stamp my floral image onto the Basic White and then stamped my greeting directly over the top using Basic Gray. I punched it with the Label Me Lovely punch and jazzed it up with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and our Basic Rhinestones!
My 3rd card showcases the Bumble Bee designer paper with the “silk” look and the single flower image. Just simple stamping on this card as well but it really highlights the pretty paper, but I couldn’t stop there … I had to add some Wink of Stella to my flower… WOW!
I stamped my greeting in Bumble Bee ink and then punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch and embellished it with the Iridescent Rhinestones ….
The fourth card is Basic Black and Pool Party … talk about a pop! I love the marble design in the Pool Party and it makes a perfect background for this flower. The greeting is simply stamped directly onto the designer paper. The flower is highlighted with a piece of Basic Black and the Square Vellum Doilies and then embellished with the Classic Mat Dots found in the Jan-June Mini Catalog ….
Classic Mat DotsOnly 2 more to go … This card showcases the Blushing Bride designer paper and I am using the “marble” effect on this one as well. This fourth card also introduces you to the full floral design inked up in Blushing Bride, stamped off and then stamped onto Basic White. I brought in the Basic Gray to compliment the Blushing Bride.
The greeting is stamped in Basic Gray directly over the floral image … the entire assembly is popped up using dimensionals. I used the “gray” dots from the Classic Mat Dots … they come in four basic colors; Black, Gray, White and Vanilla.
My last card uses the same floral image and highlights the Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue in the “silky” effect designer paper. The image is stamped in Balmy Blue and the greeting in Misty Moonlight. The base and mats are all in Misty Moonlight Cardstock and popped up with dimensionals. I added the 2020-22 In Color Square Gems to pull the two colors together.
I bought the beautiful Flowing Flowers stamp set because I could not resist the sentiments!! It includes the perfect all occasion … I just want to cheer you up, say “hello” and more greetings! AND … the flowers are pretty. Plus, I thought the “flowing” flowers went perfectly with the flowing silky look of the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper.
I hope I inspired you with theses simple and pretty layouts, and if you don’t have the Flowing Flowers you can click on the link below and get yours today … the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper is a Sale-a-bration item and is FREE with a purchase of $50.

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for warmer weather! The freezing rain … snow … YUK! So today I’m going to paradise! I’ve pulled out my Paradise Palms bundle and sat down to create something to transport us into visions of a tropical paradise.
I love the palm tree in the die set so that was going to be a definite part of my card …. then I decided to use the Granny Apple Green designer paper patterns from the Friendly Hello bundle, and this is what I came up with …
I used the leafy pattern as my background against a Basic Black cardbase …and wow, that really makes it pop! I die cut the floral pattern using the Stitched Rectangle die and then matted that in Basic Black as well. I attached it directly to the card front, leaving room for the palm tree.
The greeting comes from the Paradise Palm stamp set and was stamped on Basic White with the Momento Ink and then die cut with another of the Stitched Rectangle dies. I used dimensionals to pop it up.
I also used the dimensionals to pop up the top of the palm tree and then secured the bottom directly to the card front. I then added the white Elegant Faceted Gems that have the look of “Mother of Pearl” so I thought it fit perfectly with my tropical card.
This layout is so simple and fun to create with and can be used with any of your bundles and designer papers, but I just had to share a pop of color and take you to a warmer place!
Well let’s see if the warmth of this card gets me through shoveling another 3 inches of snow … lol. I am so ready to see green again, and palm trees would be even better!!
Thank you for joining me in paradise, I hope you have a wonderful day!
