“Little Notes, Big Smiles: Handmade Messages That Matter!”

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Create quick, heartfelt notes for every season—from first-day jitters to everyday encouragement with the Just a Note Bundle!

Back-to-school season is here, and what better way to send your favorite students off with a smile than with a handmade note? The Just a Note Bundle is perfect for creating those little surprises that tuck easily into a backpack or lunch bag. Whether you want to brighten their first day back or add a sweet touch to their school routine, this bundle makes it simple and oh-so-cute. And if school days aren’t on your calendar, these notes are just as perfect for encouragement, support, or a “thinking of you” message any time of year.

For my first card, I paired the Just a Note Bundle with the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper as the backdrop, then added a pop of fun with the On the Go Designer Paper and a fussy-cut backpack. I stamped the notebook lines, die-cut the ripped paper edge, and added those oh-so-realistic clips and little arrows pointing straight to the backpack—so playful and perfectly on theme!

My second card takes a softer, more feminine approach with the help of Extraordinary Washi Tape and coordinating dies. I couldn’t resist using that adorable stamped paper and die again (it’s just too cute!) and this time I created a mini clipboard. All of the dies to create all the stationary stuff is in the bundle. I stamped “Just a Note” at the top and left space to handwrite a personal message—because a heartfelt note never goes out of style!

Whether you’re crafting for the first day of school, a midweek pick-me-up, or a just-because moment, the Just a Note Bundle will help you deliver smiles in the sweetest way. Add them to scrapbooking pages to capture those once-a-year moments. Not back-to-school time? These little notes make wonderful gestures of encouragement and support all year long.

Which card inspired you to try first—the playful backpack or the cute clipboard? Grab your bundle, pick your papers, and start sending those little notes that make a big difference!

Thank you for hopping on the bus with me today, and heading back to school.

Cards & Video showcasing the NEW Heart Shaped Bundle

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Are you ready to fall in love with this NEW bundle? Today, I’m showcasing the Heart Shaped Bundle and sharing three simple yet stunning techniques to help you make the most of this versatile set. Whether you’re creating for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or just sending a little love, these ideas will inspire you to use every component of the bundle to its fullest.

Let’s dive into these heartwarming cards!

Card #1: Basic Stamping highlighted with Dies

To kick off our creative journey with the Heart Shaped Bundle, I started with a simple yet impactful basic stamping technique. Using Old Olive ink, I stamped the heart and paired it with one of the beautiful greetings from the bundle. This clean and classic approach lays the foundation for a truly timeless design, and the Old Olive card base ties everything together for a cohesive look.

The circle die comes from the Spotlight on Nature bundle and encircles the stamped images to tie everything together, while the edging adds a beautiful touch of texture.

To add depth and color, I turned to the gorgeous Floral Delight and Timeless Plaid Designer Papers. These patterns work beautifully together, creating a vibrant yet natural background that perfectly highlights the stamped heart and flowers. The mix of texture and plaid strikes a balance between elegance and warmth, making this card ideal for any occasion that calls for a heartfelt touch… change the greeting, change the occasion; Valentines, wedding, new baby and more!

Stay tuned as I layer in more techniques to show you just how versatile this bundle can be! 💖 Let’s take a look at the video where I created 3 card, and tomorrow I’ll bring you the detailed photos of the second 2 cards …

Reminder … this video is a replay of my Countdown to Sale-a-bration event. This Host Code is no longer available, however I do have the links for the bundle and more below.

The Heart Shaped Bundle is perfect for creating cards, scrapbook pages, and even home décor projects. If you haven’t added it to your collection yet, now is the time! Visit my online store to shop this bundle and get started on your next project.
