Sometimes the prettiest cards come together when you simply step back and let the paper shine. For today’s quick and simple thank you card, I did exactly that. The Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper does all the heavy lifting with its soft florals, gentle colors, and effortless elegance. No fancy techniques required. Just clean layers, a sweet sentiment, and you’re done.
I paired the patterned paper with a sentiment from the Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set, framed perfectly using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. That die shape adds just enough detail to make the card feel finished without stealing the spotlight. A couple of small embellishments and this card is ready to brighten someone’s mailbox in minutes.
Product of the Month Highlight
The Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set is my Product of the Month, which means you can add it to your order for just $5 with a $75 purchase. It’s one of those go-to sentiment sets you’ll reach for again and again.
If you’re short on time but still want beautiful results, this is a perfect reminder that great paper and a good sentiment are sometimes all you need. Simple, pretty, and totally doable!

Yesterday I went live on Facebook and shared three fun and easy Valentine’s projects using the Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! — and it was such a fun crafty session! If you missed it live, no worries at all… the replay is ready and waiting for you.
Why I Love the Love Notes Mix & Match DSP
This paper pack is one of those products that does a lot of the work for you. The colors, patterns, and pre-designed elements make it incredibly easy to pull together projects quickly without sacrificing style. It’s perfect for:
- Quick cards
- Small treats and packaging
- Valentine projects (or love-themed cards year-round)
During the Facebook Live, I created three Valentine’s projects, each perfect for gifting and easy to customize:
- Candy Stick Holder – We started with a sweet and simple candy stick project that’s great for quick Valentine treats.
Pull-Out Pouch – Next up was a cute little pull-out pouch that’s just the right size to hold a gift card, tea bag, or a chocolate square.
Gusseted Pouch – We finished with a gusseted pouch, perfect for small goodies and a great way to dress up a simple gift.
Along the way, I shared tips for mixing patterns from the DSP, keeping embellishments balanced, and making projects that are cute and practical.
If you have this paper pack, I’d love to see what you create with it! Simple swaps and small changes make these ideas your own, and that’s one of my favorite things about Mix & Match products.
Thanks so much for crafting along with me — whether live or on the replay. Be sure to check back soon for more Valentine inspiration and upcoming creative sessions!

Valentine’s Day crafting is one of my favorite creative seasons. There’s just something about hearts, hugs, and a little bit of whimsy that makes everything feel extra special. During my most recent Facebook Live, I shared two handmade Valentine cards that are full of charm and heartfelt details, and today I wanted to give them a little spotlight here on the blog.
Both cards were created using two absolutely adorable Stampin’ Up! bundles: the Endless Love Bundle and the Valentine Kisses Bundle. These sets pair beautifully together and make it so easy to create projects that feel playful, sweet, and totally gift-worthy.
If you missed the Facebook Live, be sure to catch the replay so you can see both cards come together step by step. And as always, if you’re inspired to create your own Valentines, I’d love to help you with the supplies you need.
The first Valentine features bold hearts, texture, and a fun pop of red that immediately says love. I used the Endless Love Bundle to create layers that feel clean but still full of personality.
The second Valentine might just steal your heart. The Valentine Kisses Bundle brings in the cutest imagery, and that sweet little bear holding a heart is impossible to resist.

Today I’m sharing a fresh and cheerful card that features two of my favorite Stampin’ Up! products – the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I love how the delicate flowers from Blooming Phrases look paired with the bold embossed background from the Sunflower Folder—it’s such a perfect mix of soft and textured! A touch of Linen Thread and an embossed greeting finish the look beautifully.
The best part? I’m offering this as a FREE tutorial for you to enjoy! You’ll find all the measurements, supplies, and step-by-step instructions so you can recreate this card at home.

- Basic White: 3 ¾” x 5”, 1 ¾” x 5 3/8”
- Basic Black: ½” X 4 1/8”
Instructions:
- Using Versamark ink, stamp words on Basic Black. Heat emboss using white embossing powder and Heat Tool.
- Use the Sunflower Embossing Folder to emboss the large Basix White cardstock panel.

During my recent Facebook Live over on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page, I featured the absolutely gorgeous Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun creating these two cards — each with a little different look, but both showcasing the stunning elements from this suite!
The first card is bold and beautiful — I love how the richly colored florals pop against the softly embossed background. That Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites in the collection… such pretty patterns and colors! A little ribbon, some die-cut blooms, and those sweet embellishments finish it off perfectly.
The second card is softer and serene — I used the coordinating dies to create a tone-on-tone look with a pop of crisp white. The sentiment, “You’ve been on my mind,” is perfect for sending a little love to someone special. And isn’t that stitched circle die cut darling?
I’m thrilled to share that the Gallery Blooms Bundle is the star of my next Beautiful Gallery Card Class to Go! This class is packed with elegant, timeless designs that showcase the versatility of this stunning bundle — from soft florals to charming countryside scenes. You’ll receive all the pre-cut supplies you need to create six gorgeous cards, along with a step-by-step PDF tutorial to guide you through each one. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned stamper, this class is the perfect way to add some gallery-worthy beauty to your card collection — right from the comfort of your own craft space!
