Today I have one more card from my quick & easy cut patterns I shared yesterday. It comes from the 4″ x 6″ pattern cut down to 5-1/4″ …. using the Dandy Designs as well and mounting it onto a Coastal Cabana cardbase.
The greeting comes from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and stamped with Coastal Cabana ink … I just cut the points off the square to create a look similar to the squares on the designer paper.
I punched 6 daisies out and layered them to create 3 flowers and added Coastal Cabana to the centers. These add so much dimension and texture to your card and they are cute!
Once those daisies are popped up with dimensionals, I added a little Wink of Stella to the centers to add a little sparkle. Not much else to say … this card is that simple, but will bring a smile to who ever receives it.
I think we all like making quick & cute cards ….
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week.
I’m back with more Quick & Easy Cards from that same sheet of paper that I shared with you yesterday … Click Here to View! Don’t forget …. over the next few days I will be sharing “how to” make 8 beautiful “easy to make” cards from one sheet of designer paper … the Awash in Beauty Designer paper.
The layouts for all three cards are similar of coarse but the designer paper gives it a different look. I’ve also chose to use different colored card bases so you can see what a difference that can make on your card as well. Let’s take a look at the Granny Apple Green …
Wow! The Granny Apple Green really makes the greenery in the design POP!! I also decided to use the Double Oval punch for my greeting and the greeting comes from the Lighthouse Point stamp set. I added a bit of the White Frayed Ribbon which I cut the width in half.
My next card highlights the Merry Merlot in the Awash in Beauty Designer paper by using it as my card base ….
The card base is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ then scored & folded at 4-1/4″ on all three of my cards. The Awash in Beauty designer paper and the inside piece of Basic White both measure 4″ x 5-1/4″. I just used scraps for my greetings, and I used the same one as the last card. I die cut the greeting using the Layering Circle dies and added a ribbon to complete the card.
If you look at my three cards together you will see the pattern of the paper ….
I did add the Iridescent Rhinestones to all three cards. Don’t you just love these Quick & Easy Flower Cards. Thanks for joining me today!

Today I’d like to share a cute stamp that I’ve wanted since the new Annual Catalog came out … and I got it for Christmas!! So the next few days, I will be sharing this with you and introducing you to a few more goodies from the Annual Catalog. Let me introduce you to Daisy Garden …
For the next few days I will be sharing cards from the Daisy Lane and the Through it Together stamp sets. You’ll see some easy layouts that will make this simple stamp set lots of fun and very versatile.
Today’s card is simply stamped in Black and highlighted with yellow centers in the daisies. I used the Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and the Stamparatus so I could get the perfect stamped image …
The minimal coloring actually makes the daisies pop and is great if you need a card in a hurry. I added the greeting at an angle to catch your attention and layered it to add more dimension to the card.
This fun layout can be done in any color but I picked daffodil delight to really attract attention to the card! You can replace it with a soft subtle color such as Fresh Freesia or how about Misty Moonlight… anything would work and look beautiful.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with friends and/or family.
Enjoy this beautiful day ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ Let me wish any guys out there a “Happy Father’s Day” and a Happy Sunday to all of you. Today I have some great cards for you … If you are looking for some unique, pretty and simple ways to make cards, I have the answer for you today ….
Get yourself the “Create with Friends” stamp set, a package of “Expressions in Ink” Designer Series paper, and a package of “Guilded Gems” and you’ll be ready to create cool, quick cards!
Don’t you just love the pretty patterns of this paper, oooooh … then add gold and it’s irresistible. Now it’s time for the “Create with Friends” stamp set …
Now it’s time to get stampin’ and combine the two together … the hardest part will be deciding which one of the beautiful papers you want and what greeting you’d like on it. Maybe you want to send a card to a special friend, you can combine the stamps to create your own greeting …
I used Polished Pink cardstock and ink to coordinate with my designer paper. The watercolor splits perfectly in the center so you can highlight your greeting. It’s so pretty and so easy! #simplestamping
Let’s continue with another pattern, this time the designer paper was cut so the exposed area is on the side … a perfect place for our greeting.
I thought it would be pretty to emboss my greeting in gold to highlight the gold that is laced through the watercolor design of the paper. I think this card is perfect for birthday’s, a graduation, a new job … anything! On both cards I have decided to use the Gilded Gems, not only to coordinate but to add more depth and texture to the cards. They are way prettier than they appear on the cards.
I’m so happy you stopped by today to take a look. I hope you are having a wonderful day… Thank you.

Sorry I missed you yesterday but I was head over heals in my Catalog Launch Party. It’s winding down but there will still be some activities today, including a LIVE Demonstration on the Tidings of Christmas Suite (pages 88 & 89) Here is the link: Just request to become a member: CLICK HERE TO JOIN IN
Today I would like to share just one of the cards that I created using the Hand-Penned family of products; the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Kit and the Hand-Penned Cards & Envelopes … this pair is perfect for making your cards quick & easy! Let’s begin with the Cards & Envelopes …
The Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Kit Isn’t just for scrapbooking, use the cards to create quick & easy cards that are simply beautiful!
You will find beautiful “cards” that can be slipped into the pockets of your Memory Book along with 4 sheets of die cut stickers that embellish your scrapbook or cards so sweetly … I love the soft pastel colors, and the coordinate with the Hand-Penned suite so the possibilities for creating are endless.
I chose one of the larger cards that works great with the cards & envelopes, and then I simply trimmed away the outside to highlight the shape, greeting and flower! All that was already there!! I just trimmed and popped it onto the card front …
The card front is the pre-pattern polka-dots card and is already scored for you… and check out the coordinating envelope! The only other thing I did on this card was give my flowers a touch of the Wink of Stella …
When using these two products combined, you have so many options for creating pretty yet simple cards.
I hope you enjoyed my card share with you today, and that you were inspired to try this sometime.
Thank you for sharing a part of your Sunday with me.
Have a wonderful day ~

I’m excited to share today’s 5 cards with you … YES, 5 cards! Since I shared the beautiful In Color ribbons yesterday, I thought you would enjoy these ribbons used yet again! I’ve got a great way for you to make sweet -n- simple cards that really showcase the pretty In Colors.
Let’s begin with a card kit … the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. These cute cards come in our new 2020-2022 In-Colors, and look … the envelopes are already decked out for us!!
I love these card bases for quick and easy cards. There are 2 each of 5 2020–2022 In Colors. 10 printed card bases and 10 printed envelopes. Discover Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight.
I think the Polka dots are cute so I didn’t want to hide them so my first layer … usually Whisper White measures 4″ by 3″ and fits nicely inside my polka dots. To add a touch of color I will add the coordinating In Color 6 x 6 Designer paper pack and the ribbon. For some fun … we’ll use some of the punches we have. Let’s begin ….
My first card highlights the Misty Moonlight, so what better to start with than the “Cat” punch ….
My apologies for using the “retired” moon & stars … Looks like I need to check my catalog a little closer, but it does look nice with our Cat silhouette. I colored the polka dots with my Stampin’ Blends … one touch and they were “Bumble Bee”. I also used it on the envelope (and a ruler to guide me)
The next card highlights the Just Jade and the “Pine Tree” punch …
I punched the tree from two different patterns, added the ribbon with a bow (it is Christmas) and our greeting comes from the “Arrange a Wreath” stamp set. I used this stamp set for the rest of my cards today.
The third card brings us into Spring and the Magenta Madness …
I used the “Heart Punch Pack” to create this card… the scallop heart is punched in the Magenta Madness cardstock and the other heart is punched from the In Color 6 x 6 Designer paper pack. I also changed the layout from horizontal to vertical … they can be used either way.
I also switched up my ribbon from a simple bow to two lines of ribbon. Ribbon is the perfect way to add texture and color to your projects at a budget friendly price … there is a lot of ribbon on those bolts!!
My fourth card uses the ribbon in a similar fashion, more to dress up the card than to create a bow …
Talk about a simple card … I took the “sun” embellishment out of this months Paper Pumpkin kit! It’s cute and matches perfectly. The Paper Pumpkins are designed to coordinate with other products … and the stamp set, you guessed it – also from this kit! Each month you get an “Exclusive” stamp set that you’ll have around whenever you need it.
The fifth and final card today celebrates both the Bumblebee and the Cinnamon Cider …
I used both Daisy punches to create a sunflower and both the Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider ribbon to create a pop of color and texture. The greeting is again from the “Arrange a Wreath” stamp set.
So, as you can see with the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Cards & Envelopes as your base and a little designer paper, ribbon and punches you can create “Simple yet Stunning” cards for all occasions!
Doesn’t that look like a mailbox full of fun! I hope I inspired you to start creating, and use some of those items you have in your collection to make something fresh and new.

I’m excited to share today’s 5 cards with you … YES, 5 cards! What is more simple than working with a card & envelope set … not sure, because this packet made creating these cards easy. My daughter was amazed that I made them so fast, but I started with a simple idea and I’m going to share that with you today.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and I thank you for taking time out of your day to stop and visit my blog. Today I have a sweet -n- simple card for you, that I created using the Petal Palette stamp set (Annual Catalog – page 119) and the coordinating Petals & More Thinlits Dies.
I used the monochromatic style when creating this card which is done in the Balmy Blue …
My base is Whisper White as was the oval for my greeting and the flowers that were die cut with the Petals & More Thinlits Dies. I don’t know about you but I feel in love with the Gingham Gala 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper … it’s just so “springy”! Reminds me of a warm sunny day. I chose the smaller gingham side (other is wider) and then backed it with Balmy Blue.
The oval was cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Die and stamped in Balmy Blue. As I stated earlier … I die cut the flowers with the Petals & More Thinlits Dies and colored them with the Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Combo packs. They were then popped up using mini dimensionals and embellished with the clear faceted gems (so pretty).
I think the stitching adds the perfect touch to the gingham and those clear faceted gems really make the little flowers pop! Cute yet quick … that’s just how we have to have it sometimes!!
Today I have another card created from the Snowflake Sentiments bundle. I have had many requests to showcase more than one card when doing the popular bundles.
I hope you got to see the “glamorous” Gold and Vanilla cards that I shared yesterday … oh so pretty! Today I’m using one of my favorite new In-Colors “Tranquil Tide” … all stamps and dies used today are again from the Snowflake Sentiments.
With the exception of the Oval Framelits and Stitched Shapes Framelits … these were used for the “Season’s Greetings” which comes in the bundle. I love the little swirls that come in this bundle – I used the Silver Foil for these, and the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper for the snowflake.
Our designer paper comes from the “Delicate Daisy” paper. Hint… Hint … this is one of the designer papers that are currently on sale (Buy 3 / Get 1 Free).
The inside was stamped with this wonderful sentiment and with little swirl that are included in the bundle as well. I also created a matching envelope by using the snowflake stamp and the swirl.
Super Simple to create … just a little stamping and a few runs through the BigShot and you are ready for assembly.
Thank you so much for joining me this Sunday. Stop back tomorrow, I have a cute Christmas card that features 2 more of the dies (you haven’t seen) that are included in the Snowflake Sentiments bundle.
I’m back with a pretty card that showcases some of my favorite tools for cardmaking. Have you ever thought … what did I do before the BigShot? Me too!! I love using my BigShot and all the tools for cutting and embossing.
Maybe someday I’ll show you some of my first cards … I think we all giggle when we look back. But we had to start somewhere right! That was 15 years ago.
On to today’s card …
I began with the thought of using the “Into the Woods” Designer Series paper. I wanted to highlight the pretty flowers so I punched some out with the 2″ circle punch. Did you know the designs on this set of designer paper was hand painted by our designers? Watch this quick video to learn more (Into the Woods is the 3rd highlighted) …
Once I punched out the flowers I chose my color pallet … Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow. I used the Razzleberry for my base and mat behind the flowers to make the razzleberry flowers pop in the bouquet of flowers. The mat was cut with the Circle Framelit Dies.
It’s so easy to create beautiful backgrounds with our embossing folders, and I wanted to use the new “Woodland” folder, it coordinates so well with the “Woodland” theme of this card.
Finally my greeting … a simple choice! I used the “Seasonal Framelit Dies” and chose the grateful die cut and adhered it with the new Fine Tip Glue Pen. If you don’t have this yet, you will really need to get it on your wish list. I works so nice!
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed the fun tools (punches, folders & framelits) that were used to create today’s Simply Sunday card.
Today I have a sweet -n- simple card for you. When you are in need of a quick card but you still want a special look … just create one like this!
Use your designer papers, here you see the brilliant Bohemian designer paper – Today I kept it a bit subdued but you could go really bold with one or more of the other patterns.
You will also see the pretty Venetian Lace ribbon that is currently listed in the Weekly Deals. I used it as a separation between the two designer paper patterns. You could easily make this more masculine by adding a strip of coordinating cardstock.
And what a way to make your card special … just add one the the beautiful wood veneer greetings from our Expressions Natural Elements.
NEW TODAY … More items have just been added to the Clearance Rack!
I am totally excited to share today’s card with you!! As some of you know, Eileen and I have been working on the upcoming Catalog Kick-Off party and this holiday weekend was no exception! But yesterday I came up with the cutest card made with the “Friendly Wishes” stamp set.
Friendly Wishes is just one of 7 stamp sets that will be featured at the Kick-Off party. We will also have 7 boards showcasing additional card samples so you get an idea how fun and versatile these stamp sets are… Oh yes, and I raffle these boards off at the end of the night, so seven lucky winners go home with these fabulous cards!!
And here is one of those cards …
This super cute and easy card was created with the Friendly Wishes stamp set and I teamed it up with the “Pretty Petals” Designer Series Paper Stack. Don’t you just love this pattern! Oh my gosh… I love it!
I added a bit of color to the greeting by highlighting the “BEST” with a marker, and stamping the flower.
I used the “Chalk Talk” framelits but found that I had no Calypso Coral ribbon, hmmm … what to do? So then it popped into my head … ya, you have a “bow” builder punch! And presto … the card was complete!
This view shows you how pretty the bow really is, and the great dimension it adds to it.
We all love pretty cards, but that doesn’t mean they always have to take 3 hours to make! Use your designer paper … that’s what it’s here for.
We have another 5 cards showcasing this set, but you will have to come to the Kick-Off party to see them all. (A total of 42 card ideas!!) Remember … you must RSVP by this Friday, July 10th. Click Hereto view full details and e-mail me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com to RSVP.
I also want to give a quick shout out to a second wave of new “Pinterest” followers! Thank You!!
Have a beautiful week … I’ll see you tomorrow with the newest wave of Weekly Deals 🙂
Are you looking for pretty cards that are quick and easy to create? Well … I have the answer for you! Join me in the English Garden …
English Garden Designer Series paper that is! I don’t know what it is, the watercolor look, the color pallet? I don’t know, but I am drawn to this paper. It is really pretty and will be the focus of today’s card.
You can get 6 pretty cards just from the sheet I used here … what’s really cool is, none of them will look alike. I simply cute my designer paper into 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces, then mount them onto the Soft Suede card stock.
I added banners to this card, however you can use circles, rectangles or any of the fabulous framelits! The greeting comes from the “Tin of Cards” stamp set. I finished off the front of the card with a bow created with the Whisper White Seam Binding.
Inside I used a left over piece of the designer paper and added a touch of the Soft Suede before mounting them onto a piece of Whisper White.
The card maybe simple to make but it has an air of sophistication that any one of your friends would love to receive.
This one is for a special friend who is fighting a battle and I just want to let her know that I’m praying for her and think of her all the time. She has always brought a smile to my face when we get together. Stamping truly brings wonderful people into your life … I’m blessed.
Hope you had a good week and that you have a better weekend planned.
Today I’d like to share with you a card that calls for you to be joyful! I used the warm colors of Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar. Hmmm… sounds yummy too!
I sponged the edges of the Brown Sugar to give it an aged look and then ran the “Perfect Polka Dot Folder” through my new Texture Boutique Machine. Wow … it works great!
The stars were cut out using the Star Framelit dies, using the warm & lovely “Under the Tree’s” Designer Specialty Paper.
The Cherry Cobbler 1″ Sheer Linen Ribbon added the perfect touch to the card. It is not too heavy or think to tie a beautiful bow … it is really nice to work with.
The “Be Joyful” came from the “Project Life Holiday Cheer” stamp set. I liked it soooo much, that I ordered two! LOL … yes, demonstrators do that too.
Just look at all the fun stamps this set has, and you can use it all year long!
Hmmm, I might just have do a “give-a-way” … I don’t need two. Keep your eyes peeled!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It’s Monday and back to work for many of us, so I’d like to begin with a simple, calm Christmas card.
Yesterday I showed you an easy layout which included the dimensions you’ll need to make the card. I also suggested that you could use this layout for any type of card, so today I’m here to show you …
The card was created using the Lost Lagoon cardstock and “All is Calm” Designer Series paper. The pop of Whisper White really makes the “Merry Christmas” stand out. The greeting comes from the “Making Spirits Bright”, found on page 48 in the Holiday catalog.
All of the layers are “popped” up, using the Stampin’ Dimensionals … it gives so much depth and texture to the card.
I couldn’t resist adding the beautiful silver glimmer snowflake to really make the card feel like Christmas. The snowflake comes from the Snowflake Card Thinlet Dies (9 dies) in our Holiday Catalog.
Hope you enjoyed my Christmas version of the simple layout I shared yesterday, and thank you for stopping by.
