Yesterday on my FB Live, I shared the above three cards featuring the Wildly Flowering Suite. We all agreed, like usual, that the products in this suite are better when you can actually “see” them in action!! I love the images of the stamp set and the DSP is swoonworthy!!! Hope you will take advantage of my ordering special to get the card kits for free – AND with a $50 order, you will get the dots as well!!! Win Win!
You can watch how to assemble the cards below in the video here:
Here’s the first card. Let the DSP be the showcase – and the “frame” dies are so pretty. I love the added detail of the stitching.
My second card is also very simple, but again, let the DSP be the showcase – and then add a greeting and stamped image.
The third card is a stepped up version of the products in the suite – a vintage feel to this one – lots of layers, and soft, pretty colors. Which is your favorite of the three? I think sometimes it’s good to have some quick/easy cards to make, and when there is more time, it’s wonderful to create a more detailed card!

I created two cards today during my Facebook Live using the Notes of Nature bundle. It’s a favorite of mine – and one that immediately caught my eye when I first glanced at our current January – April Mini Catalog. Today, I created two collage type cards.
Here’s a look at the bundle:
Here’s the recording of my Facebook Live: Please watch and let me know what you think! I love to read your comments!
First up – this card uses the color combo of Bubble Bath and Smoky Slate – I’m not sure my photo does it justice – it’s prettier in real life!
The tag, die cut from the Tailored Tag dies has tone on tone – the tag is cropped with Bubble Bath cardstock and the ink used is also Bubble Bath. I added some touches of Smoky Slate ink as well.
It’s a soft and pretty card.
For the second card, I used a different color palatte – Orchid Oasis, Highland Heather and Berry Burst. So springy and fresh looking! I just kept stamping the images with the different inks to “fill up” the Basic White panel. One of my favorite dies in the Notes of Nature die set is the “spiral” notebook type die – you can see it along the top of the white panel.
I used a Blending Brush to add some color to the white panel after I did my stamping – it softened the white and also made the embossed details show up more. (I used one of the folders from the Basics Embossing Folder trio)
This bundle is SO versatile!! I hope you will give it a look, if you haven’t purchased it yet!

On March 5, Stampin’ Up! is introducing a whole new round of Online Exclusives – there is a lot to love in this release! One of my favorite suites is the A Little Latte Suite. My Facebook Live from today showcased this Suite on two FUN FOLDS!
I had so much fun creating these cards today.
I am also offering this suite in a Class to Go! If you love coffee and hot chocolate, or have friends/family that do, then don’t miss this class!!!
I know these products are going to be very popular!! Registration for this class closes on March 8 at noon. Class kits will be ready the week of March 18 if not sooner. Here’s a little peek at the cards in the class – there are six different cards!!
Registration will close on Friday, March 8 at 12 Noon!
Here’s a look at the Suite:
Here’s the recording of my Facebook Live: Please watch and let me know what you think! I love to read your comments!
The first card is an accordion fold and is so much fun to make! It looks complicated but it is actually quite simple! You can see in the recording where to score the panel for the inside of the card to create the “wow” inside!
I absolutely LOVE the dies from this bundle – they include dies that coordinate with the stamp, but also the DSP – and some extras – like the adorable coffee press and cups – complete with coffee shown in today’s cards.
My second project for today is a pull out gift card. I give a lot of coffee gift cards and this is a perfect and super cute way to gift them! And check out the adorable coffee pot! So cute!!!!
Here is a view of the inside of the card – and you can see the pocket on the third panel where a gift card can slide in!
Hope you love these cards – and if you do, don’t miss registering for my Class to Go for an additional six more card ideas for this amazing suite!

I did an extra Facebook Live this week – again geaturing the All About Autumn Suite. So pretty and makes me so ready for fall!
Here’s a look at the products in the suite:
I’m not sure which part(s) of this suite is my favorite – but I do love the DSP – it is amazing – and it is the focus of the card I’m featuring today. I love pumpkins and gourds and I guess that’s why I love this dsp!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –
Really the only measurement needed for this card is the dsp – which is cut 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ – it fills the entire card front. The rest of the components of the card are die cut!
It goes togheter quickly once all the die cutting is done. Ink used is Cajun Craze.
Are you ready for fall? Later today I will be releasing my September Class to Go – it’s a great deal! So watch for the details – and I will have an Early Bird Special for those that register right away! YAY!
