GIf you love a cheeky birthday card, this class is for you! I just wrapped up my latest Card Class To Go, featuring the brand-new Not 29 Anymore stamp set — packed with playful, age-defying sentiments perfect for birthdays with a wink. 🥳

I paired it with the fabulous Birthday Treats Mix & Match Ephemera for easy, coordinated accents, and finished each card with Online Exclusive Petunia Pop 1/4″ Iridescent Ribbon and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

Festive Friday: Llama Fun Fold Card Featuring Long Time No See

Leave a comment

Welcome back to another Festive Friday! This week I’m continuing my Christmas card series with a fun and festive creation using the Long Time No See stamp set — the same set I featured in this week’s Card Class To Go.

This card is all about holiday cheer, bright colours, and a playful layout! It features a bold Granny Apple Green card base with a fun fold layout, making it extra interactive and perfect for sending a bit of joy this holiday season.

🎨 Design Details:

  • Stamp Set: Long Time No See
  • Card Base: Granny Apple Green
  • Designer Series Paper: Take a Bow DSP (retiring – Last Chance!)
  • Colouring: Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce
  • Embellishments: Peppermint Dots add a sweet, dimensional touch
  • Sentiment: “Merry Merry Merry Christmas” – a playful stacked greeting to match the llama’s long scarf!

I love how this card combines whimsy with traditional Christmas colours. The Take a Bow DSP adds a fun polka-dot backdrop, and this fold is sure to stand out on the mantel.

✂️ Tips & Tricks:

  • Mix and match Stampin’ Blends for a soft, blended fur effect on the llama.
  • Stack your sentiments with dimensionals for added depth.
  • Use a white gel pen to add highlights to your lights or scarf for a pop of brightness.

📦 Don’t Forget!
The Take a Bow DSP is on the Last Chance List, so grab it before it’s gone! And if you loved this stamp set, check out this week’s Card Class To Go featuring more fun llama-themed designs!

Throwback Thursday: Sweetly Sentimental with So Sentimental

Leave a comment

I love digging into my retired favourites for Throwback Thursday, and this week I reached for the classic So Sentimental stamp set and coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies. These two retired gems were always a go-to for quick but polished cards—and they still hold up beautifully!

For today’s card, I started with a Secret Sea card base and layered on a Basic White panel. To build the background, I used a bold strip of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, along with two strips of cardstock in Strawberry Slush and Summer Splash. I embossed both cardstock pieces using the Glass and Gardens Embossing Folders to add gorgeous texture and dimension.

The sentiment is stamped from the So Sentimental set and cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies—still one of my all-time favourite label sets. To finish off the card, I added a bow made from White 1/4″ Ribbon and a few of the 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Secret Sea. These little pearls are just the right touch of shimmer!

🎨 Tips & Tricks

  • Try this layout using whatever sentiment and label dies you have on hand. It’s versatile and a great way to use up DSP scraps!
  • Embossing contrasting cardstock pieces adds texture without overwhelming your design.
  • Use tone-on-tone colour schemes (like Secret Sea pearls on a Secret Sea base) to keep embellishments subtle and elegant.

✨ Make It Your Own
Don’t have So Sentimental? No problem! This design is the perfect blank canvas. Swap in your favourite sentiment set and label dies to suit any occasion—from birthdays to thank-yous and everything in between.

Today is the last day of this three-day sale – it is the perfect opportunity to stock up on every color of two-tone cardstock. Whether you’re making cards or a scrapbook spread, two-tone cardstock is a must-have crafting staple.

Cheers to Colour! | Global Design Project #GDP504 – CASE the Designer

Leave a comment

I’m so excited to play along with this week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP504 – a “CASE the Designer” featuring the incredibly talented Mikaela Titheridge. Her soft colour blending and layout were so inspiring, and I knew I wanted to echo that joyful background and layered look.

For my version, I went bold, bright, and fruity using the Cheers & Sips Bundle – the perfect pick for summer celebrations!

🖌 How I Created This Card:

1. The Background:
I started with a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and painted three horizontal washes using these vibrant Stampin’ Up! colours:

  • Timid Tiger (top)
  • Strawberry Slush (middle)
  • Lemon Lime Twist (bottom)

I kept the strokes loose and organic for that fresh, summery look. Once dry, I cut the panel using the stitched rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies.

2. Embossed Gate Fold Base:
My card base is a gatefold design using Summer Splash cardstock. I embossed both front flaps using the gorgeous Glass & Gardens 3D Embossing Folder, which adds such an elegant texture to frame the bright centre panel.

3. Stamped & Coloured Elements:
Using the Cheers & Sips Bundle, I stamped the citrus, strawberry, and lime images in Calypso Coral, Secret Sea and Old Olive Inks and coloured them in with Stampin’ Blends (matching the watercolour stripes – Peach Pie for the citrus, Strawberry Slush for the strawberry and Granny Apple Green for the lime).

4. Sentiment & Finishing Touches:
The sentiment, “Cheers – Let’s Celebrate!”, is stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. For a final bit of sparkle, I added a few Holographic Resin Dots.

Want to create this at home? All the supplies I used are listed below – just click to shop!


💡 Why I Love This Card:

It’s bright, playful, and perfect for summer birthdays, BBQ invites, or just saying “cheers” to a friend. I love how the fruit and colours play together and how the embossed gatefold makes it extra special.

Festive Friday: Sending a Jar Full of Cheer!

Leave a comment

After a brief rest from Festive Friday (end-of-school exhaustion is real!), I’m back and excited to share this vibrant Christmas card featuring the brand-new Jar of Joy stamp set — an Online Exclusive you won’t find in any catalogue!

I lThis cheerful card came together using the following festive favourites:

🎄 Jar of Joy Stamp & Die Bundle – Online Exclusive
🎄 Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – Last Chance item
🎄 Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics – Last Chance item
🎄 Iridescent Pearls – for a subtle holiday sparkle
🎄 Basics 3D Embossing Folder – for the textured background

The adorable jar is filled with gingerbread cookies and festive treats, and the sentiment “Sending a jar full of cheer” adds the perfect seasonal message. I layered strips of DSP to create a fun, playful background and popped the jar up with dimensionals for added interest.

🫙 CRAFTING TIP: Use scraps of coordinating DSP to build quick and dynamic backgrounds — it’s a great way to use every last bit of your paper!

Full of Charm – June 2025 Paper Pumpkin Replay + 2 Sweet Alternatives!

Leave a comment

June’s Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit is bursting with beauty—and I had such a blast diving into it on today’s Facebook Live! We started by unboxing the kit, then moved right into creating two bright and beautiful alternatives using the contents in fresh, creative ways

✨ Card 1 is a clean and elegant layout featuring the Pretty Peacock leaf die cuts, gold foil splatter background from the kit, and an extra circle from the kit with a Pretty Peacock sentiment popped up with dimensionals. The Berry Burst border adds just the right pop!

🌸 Card 2 features an elevated, layered design with gold foil stripes, stamped background leaves, and a bright Berry Burst-cut floral focal point. Both designs use the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate You”—perfect for birthdays, graduations, or any reason to cheer someone on!

📺 Missed the Live? Watch the full replay here:

These cards came together using some leftover pieces from the June Paper Pumpkin kit, some cardstock and the exclusive Hugs Abloom coordinating dies. With a little creativity, you can extend the value of every kit and create cards that are personalized, heartfelt, and truly special. Here are the materials I used (note – the Pretty Peacock Ink is included in the Paper Pumpkin kit in ink spot format).


The coordinating Hugs Abloom Dies Add-On (Item #166238, $16.50 CAD) work with the April, May, and June kits—giving you even more creative options!
