Today’s Featured Suite: A Magical Mash-Up of Storybook Moments & Everyday Skies

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I shared some cute samples from my Storybook Moments stash and if you love crafting with heart and imagination, you’re in for a treat! Today’s featured suites—Storybook Moments and Everyday Skies—are the perfect pair for creative magic. On their own, each suite offers so much potential. But when combined? The results are nothing short of enchanting.

The Storybook Moments Suite brings charm and whimsy with every stamped image. You’ll find fuzzy bunnies, friendly squirrels, cozy plaid patterns, and nature-inspired elements that feel like they leapt right off the pages of a beloved children’s book. It’s perfect for crafting cards that tell a story—whether you’re celebrating a milestone, welcoming a little one, or simply spreading some cheer.

Now, pair that with the Everyday Skies Suite, and the possibilities expand even more! Think watercolor skies from dawn to dusk, uplifting sentiments of friendship and support, and dies that help your creativity take flight. 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.

📌 Don’t wait—this sale ends June 30th!

Let today’s mash-up inspire your next masterpiece, and discover the magic you can make with the right tools in your hands.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you feel inspired and ready to create!

Spring Cards with the Storybook Moments!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

If you loved my last post featuring the Storybook Friends Bundle, then you’re in for a treat today! I have two more enchanting cards to share, along with some quick tips and techniques that will make your card-making even easier.

This enchanting suite is perfect for bringing charming characters and whimsical scenes to life. The best part? You can create stunning cards in less time by using the coordinating Designer Series Paper and die cuts—no fussy cutting required on today’s cards!

💡 Technique Highlight: It’s an oldie but a goodie! To create a background that appears to have texture, just “scrunch” up some wax paper, dab it onto your ink pad and pounce it onto your cardstock! This little touch makes a big difference!

Time to let the designer paper do all the work … layering different patterns makes it easy to craft a complete scene. You’ll see I used the Everyday Arches when adding the blue patterned paper … I showcased this in my last post. (Seen Here) With just a simple die cut and layering, this card comes together in minutes!

The greeting wishing you a Happy Easter, comes from the Greetings for All Ephemera pack.  This set features a wide range of precut sentiments in a variety of styles, perfect for saying thanks, hello, congratulations, and more. The simple black and white colors ensure you’ll have a perfect fit for any design style.

My second card encompasses more of our suite as I highlight the coordinating die cut frame and stamp set.

The second card features one of my favorite “simple” techniques—layering die-cut elements. By combining the stamped images with pre-printed die cuts, you create depth and interest without a lot of extra work. I began with this adorable designer paper pattern – it gives us the framework for our creation – the strawberries!

So many stampers are already falling in love with the Storybook Friends Bundle, and it’s easy to see why! Whether you’re crafting for Easter, birthdays, or just because, this suite makes it simple to create charming, heartfelt cards in no time.

With Easter just around the corner, now is the perfect time to add this bundle to your collection and start crafting something truly special. Don’t miss out on the chance to create with these sweet characters!

Are you as enchanted by this suite as I am? I’d love to hear which card is your favorite! 💕

Creating Charming Cards with the Everyday Arches Bundle & Storybook Friends

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello, Stampin’ Friends!

I’m so excited to share today’s creative inspiration with you—three adorable cards featuring the Everyday Arches Bundle, paired beautifully with the Storybook Friends collection. These two work seamlessly together, and I can’t wait to show you how! To make things even better, I’ve included a video replay of my recent Facebook LIVE, where I walk you through each project step by step, sharing helpful tips along the way.

The first card is simple but so sweet! In the video, I share a key tip on how to align your stamp image onto the block so that it fits perfectly around the arched die cuts. This little trick ensures a flawless look every time! If you’ve ever struggled with getting your stamped image to frame your die-cut piece just right, this technique will be a game-changer.

For the second card, I took the Arches Dies to the next level by using them to create frames. These frames provided the perfect spotlight for some of the adorable bunnies from the Storybook Friends Designer Series Paper. It’s a fun and easy way to make those sweet images stand out while adding dimension to your project.

I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder create texture behind my arched frames. Each little bunny was fussy cut from the designer paper … they look so playful. The greeting comes from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. This set features a wide range of precut sentiments in a variety of styles. You’ll be happy to know, at least I am, that it is carrying over into the NEW Annual Catalog.

And last but not least, I demonstrated how to use the largest dies to create a unique card base! This technique opens up a whole new world of card designs, and I explain it fully in the video. If you love shaped cards or want to try something different, you won’t want to miss this tip.

Again, this little bunny was fussy cut and the goal was to highlight her … make her really stand out, so I added a soft layer of color using the Blending Brushes. Then added a touch of Wink of Stella and Berry Burst Dots … simple yet impactful. The Bubble Bath and Berry Burst lends itself to really make a statement on this card.

I hope you have enjoyed these adorable card ideas and find the video helpful!

Let me know in the comments which tip you liked best or if you give any of these techniques a try. I love hearing from you and seeing your creative take on these projects.

Happy stamping! 💕 Linda
