Thank you to everyone who joined me for yesterday’s Facebook Live! I had so much fun creating with the beautiful Sunflower Fields Suite Collection and the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle. If you missed the live, be sure to catch the replay and see these three fall-inspired cards come together.
To thank you for watching, I’m offering a special ordering bonus through Sunday!
- Place a $50 order and receive the card kits to create these three projects. You will need the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle to complete the cards.
- Place a $100 order and receive the three card kits PLUS a pack of Radiant Gems!
This special ends Sunday, so don’t wait too long to place your order. I can’t wait for you to create these beautiful sunflower cards yourself!
The Sunflower Fields Suite Collection is filled with warm, cheerful colors, beautiful floral patterns and coordinating products that make creating for fall—and beyond—so much fun. The Radiant Sunflowers Bundle adds even more creative possibilities with lovely sunflower images and coordinating dies.
For the first card, I paired the gorgeous floral Designer Series Paper with a large layered sunflower and a sweet “Hello, Friend” sentiment. The checked ribbon adds just the right amount of texture and gives the card a warm, homespun feel.
The second card features a fun-fold design with layers of sunflower-patterned paper. A smaller sunflower, leafy accents and an adorable little vase create a pretty focal point alongside the “Thinking of You” sentiment. It’s such a cheerful card to send when someone could use a little sunshine! Be sure to watch the Live to see the fun and cute inside panel of this card!
For the third card, I let the colorful floral paper do most of the work. A bold sunflower, checked ribbon and simple “Enjoy” sentiment finish the card beautifully without covering too much of that gorgeous pattern.
Which card is your favorite? I’d love to know!

Yesterday on my Id Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page, I had so much fun creating these three beautiful cards featuring the Mosaic Garden Suite Collection!
This suite is filled with gorgeous floral patterns and a lovely color palette that makes it easy to create cards with plenty of interest and dimension. For these three designs, I mixed and matched the coordinating Designer Series Paper, added textured layers, and incorporated some sweet ribbon and embellishment details.
The first card may be my favorite of the bunch! The angled floral panel, textured diamond-shaped layer, ribbon detail, and sweet sentiment all come together for a card that is full of dimension and personality. Sometimes a few extra layers are exactly what a card needs!
The second card features a beautiful floral image paired with a soft bow and a classic Happiest Birthday greeting. I love how the layers frame the focal image and let that gorgeous patterned paper peek through.
For the third card, I had fun creating a more playful mosaic-style layout by combining several pieces of the coordinating paper. The Wishing You Every Good Thing sentiment takes center stage while the different patterns create a beautiful patchwork effect.
Which card is your favorite? I’d love to know!

Fall crafting is here, and I had so much fun playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle during my Facebook Live! I created two cards featuring the bundle, along with the coordinating masks and Designer Series Paper.
I love how versatile the Painted Pumpkins Bundle is. With the masks, coordinating DSP, different pumpkin images, and fun greetings, you can create cards that are sweet and simple or layered and detailed.
If you missed my Facebook Live, be sure to check out the replay and craft along with me! These two cards are a fun way to kick off the fall crafting season. I lost internet connection at before i could complete the second card – only to find out the cause – squirrels had chews through my internet cables! Those rascals! All is repaired now so, hoping I am good to go!!!!
I started with the “I hope your day is fabulous” card. I love the soft, layered look of this one, combining the Painted Pumpkins images with patterned paper, blending with one of the masks, ribbon, and a few pops of color. The pumpkins add just the right amount of fall fun without making the card feel too busy.
For my second card, I went with a more whimsical look featuring the “Hello Gourd-geous” sentiment. The assortment of pumpkins in different colors makes this card especially fun, and I love how the little details bring it all together. It’s definitely a card that will make someone smile! I stamped the three pumpkins/gourds with Black ink – and then used one of the masks to add color to each – Calypso Coral, Golden Glow and Pool Party. I also used a Black Stampin’ Blend and flecked some color onto the pumpkins.

Who says Halloween cards have to be spooky? Sometimes they can just be a little bit of fun!
During my recent Facebook Live, I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Web of Fun Bundle and created this playful Halloween card featuring a spider that actually SPINS! And yes, I had way too much fun with this one.
The card starts with a simple white background embossed with the adorable little spiderweb and spider details from the Web of Fun products. I kept the background mostly white, which lets the black and orange elements really stand out.
The large HALLOWEEN greeting is the star of the card, with the fun script Happy layered above it in bright orange. Then comes my favorite part…
That little spider in the lower corner isn’t just sitting there! I added a mini 360° spinner bearing (sold here) behind the spider so it can spin around when you give it a little flick.
These tiny spinner pieces are designed for crafts and cardmaking, and they make a fun interactive element without adding a lot of bulk to the card.
It’s such a simple addition, but it completely changes the feel of the card. Give that spider a little flick and watch him go!
Here’s another card that in a totally different color scheme that uses the same bundle and spinning spider!

There’s something about adding a little shine to a handmade card that makes it feel extra special!
During my recent Facebook Live, I had the chance to play with some exciting new products coming in the Stampin’ Up! September–December 2026 Catalog, including the new Hot Foil products. And I had so much fun experimenting with them!
My first card featured the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil design paired with a beautiful floral die cut and the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies.
I love the combination of the deep blue (secrete sea) cardstock with the gold foil. It creates such an elegant background, and the large flower and leaves add just the right amount of dimension.
The large “thank you” greeting really takes center stage, with the gold foil adding that extra bit of sparkle. Sometimes a simple card design is all you need when the details are this pretty!
I also shared a quick peek at another card featuring the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil design.
This time, the color palette is completely different, with a soft, feminine combination of pinks and warm neutrals. And instead of making the floral pattern the star of the card, the beautiful butterfly elements steal the show. I couldn’t resist giving you a little preview!
For my second project during the Live, I pulled out the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies and had even more fun with foil!
These butterflies are gorgeous on their own, but adding color to the foiled images really brings them to life. I layered several butterflies over the floral background and used a simple sentiment strip to finish the card.
I love how completely different this card feels from the first one. Same idea of adding beautiful foiled details, but a whole different personality!
