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!

Encircled With Love Cards – GDP501 Colour Challenge

Leave a comment

During today’s Live, I shared a sweet and summery card design featuring the Encircled With Love stamp set! I used the GDP501 Colour Challenge trio of Timid Tiger, Petal Pink, and Lost Lagoon to create two cheerful versions of the same layout.

My original sample featured the “Thank You” sentiment from the stamp set, but during the live I swapped it for the sunny “Way to Go!” Both sentiments work beautifully in this layered circle design.

✨ Key Details:

  • DSP: 2025–2027 In Color 6×6 DSP
  • Ribbon: Last Chance Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon
  • Bling: Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
  • Colours: Timid Tiger, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon

💡 Design tip: This layout is super adaptable – swap in any sentiment from the Encircled With Love set and you’ve got a card for any occasion!

🛠️ Here’s a Full List of Supplies Used:


Why I love this card:
This design is simple, elegant, and versatile—perfect for beginners but also great for mass-producing! A quick sentiment swap gives you a whole new card. My original version used the “Thank You” image, and I switched it up live with “Way to Go!” for a completely different vibe.

💡 TIP: Save cardstock by die-cutting the circle layers from the centre of the same Lost Lagoon panel used to mat your DSP! No one will ever know, and you’ll get more out of each sheet.

Blended Skies and Nautical Vibes with Sunrise Sailing!

Leave a comment

This week’s Facebook Live featured the gorgeous Sunrise Sailing Bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up! I created a soft coastal card with a dreamy blended sunrise and stylish details.

The background sunrise was blended with Darling Duckling and Strawberry Slush on a Stylish Shapes die-cut circle, paired with a Pool Party frame and wave die cuts. The birds and sentiment were stamped and die cut in Secret Sea, tying together this breezy and elegant look. I also used the Sunrise Sailing 3D embossing folder for subtle background dimension.

💡 This bundle is perfect for summer birthdays, weddings, or retirement cards. And since it’s an Online Exclusive, you won’t find it in any catalogue!

I adore the serene feeling this scene creates. It was so fun to blend the sky and build this layered design using easy die cuts. This card is a gentle reminder of calm seas and warm wishes—plus it’s a great way to showcase your blending and layering skills!
