Gorgeous Project Trio with New Horizons Suite Collection
Yesterday I did a Facebook Live on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. I created three cards featuring the beautiful New Horizons Suite of products! Such beautiful products!!! I started with a very simple card – basically just showcasing the Horizons Designer Series Paper – I created a frame with the Stitched Rectangles Dies to really just highlight the paper. Very simple but I think we all need simple at times – and with paper this beautiful, you don’t need to add much more – a word, some Genial Gems and done!
You can see how I created all three cards by watching my Facebook Live video below.
The next card I made was also simple – I used a Basic White Note Card/Envelope. I knew I wanted to use the “scene” of the Designer Series Paper as the focal point – and cut that to 3 x 4 3/4. I looked through the pack of DSP and found a coordinating color and used it to cover the front of the card – 3 1/2 x 5. I stamped the birds with Black Memento ink and popped up the center panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The words were stamped on a small Stitched Rectangle Die with Evening Evergreen Ink. Again – pretty simple but it works! This card could easily be stepped up with some gems and/or twine. I liked the simplicity of it so kept it as is!
The third card I made was a Tent Card – and is a stepped up card. It was really fun to create the little beach scene on the circle. This card measures 2 1/4 x 5 1/2 – and will fit in a regular size envelope. It’s fun to switch things up a bit from the traditional card with something like this!
The circle was cropped from the Designer Series Paper – I used a blending brush with Daffodil Ink to add a bit of a sunrise – l love that the paper makes it look like rays spreading out from the sun! I stamped the birds in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and also stamped the grass with Evening Evergreen ink.
The rest of the card was put together with die cuts – I cropped the fence with Sahara Sand ink and then stamped over it multiple times with the textured label stamp that is in the stamp set- I wanted to make the fence have a more weathered look and this seemed to accomplish that. I cropped the grass directly from the Designer Series Paper – and love the variation in color this created.
The Pebble Enamel Shapes are so fun – and add a finishing touch to the card. Which card is your favorite? I’d love to know!!!

Card Duo with Awesome Otters!
Yesterday I did a Facebook Live on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. I will be sharing some Saleabration products on Thursdays over the next several weeks so please tune in! The cards shared both use two different Saleabration products that you can get for free with a $50 order – the Awesome Otters stamp set – and the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper.
The first card was a simple birthday card – I used the Stitched with Whimsy dies for the top panel on the Highland Heather card base and also the small square – I love the detail these dies add! I colored the otter with Stampin’ Blends – and added a cute little birthday party hat.
You can see how I created both cards by watching my Facebook Live video below.
Here’s a look at the inside of the card:
My second card was a matchbook style card – the top panel – using the Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper – also a Saleabration reward, folds down and rests behind the otter on the circle panel. The Simply Marbelous paper is perfect way to create a water look! I used the Diorama dies to crop a shape out of the DSP and folded it down to create the Matchbook!
Here’s a look at the inside of this card:
Hope you enjoy these two cards today – I had fun making and sharing them! Happy Weekend!
