Textured Notes

March 12, 2025

This is the card that I planned for my Wake Up Wednesday video today. This card uses the beautiful Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper, Memorable Blooms Dies and Textured Notes Dies. Accents of Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Basic White.

However, this is the one I started with when I was deciding what to do.  This is Basic Gray, Basic White and Notes and Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The image is stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Old Olive and Gray Watercolor Pencils and blended with a Blender Pen.

This one was also made using Crumb Cake for the card base adding Basic White, Crumb Cake & Pebbled Path accents. The stems were cut from Charming Duck Pond Dies. The designer series paper came from Woven Textures. Adding a little of the 2023-25 In Color dots and a knot from the Pebbled path ribbon was a perfect finish

This one is a little more feminine using the same products. For this one I used Moody Mauve for the card base and the Designer Series Paper is Timeless Plaid. I love this plaid it covers such a variety of occasions.  On this one I used a retired paper for two of the stems.  One is cut from Vellum (retired), one from Moody Mauve and the last one is cut from what I believe is Powder Pink (retired). I used the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon for my bow and added the Clear & Pecan Pie Ribboned Dots.

My final card with this layout is my favorite.  As I was getting ready for my FB Live I was cleaning off my desk.  I had played with the Storybook Garden Bundle the day before and this pot was laying on my desk.  It was colored with Calypso Coral light then highlighted with Cajun Craze. I also had the stems laying on my desk. When the others were cut from the Charming Duck Pond dies these were left.  I had cut the DSP from Woven Textures to try to use on a card.  The Crumb Cake card base was left from the other card.  This is my favorite one.

Let It Snow! An Elegant Christmas Fun Fold Card

Let your Christmas wishes take wing with this beautiful Four Wing Christmas card!

This cheerful fall fun fold card combines pretty plaid, textured layers and a trio of colorful pumpkins! I used Calypso Coral and Basic White cardstock with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for a fresh, welcoming autumn look. The Basic White panels are embossed with the Stone & Leaves embossing folder, adding a lovely leafy texture that complements the pumpkin patch theme. The diagonal cut give the card extra interest while allowing the layered focal point to take center stage. For the centerpiece, I layered a plaid panel over a Calypso Coral arch, creating a frame for pumpkins die cut from Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe. I love how these three shades work together, giving each pumpkin its own personality! Old Olive leaves and curling vines weave around the pumpkins and extend up the arch, bringing a touch of greenery to the design. A Basic White label with the “Warm wishes” greeting finishes the card beautifully, making it a sweet way to send a little autumn happiness to someone special.

This card is such a fun way to say “Oh, Happy Day!” It could be used for a retirement, birthday or any special occasion. I started with Basic Black Cardstock, which creates a bold frame and really makes the softer colors stand out. The beautiful watercolor background comes from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper, with a little black-and-white pattern peeking out for added interest. The balloons from Balloon Festoon add the perfect touch of whimsy and dimension, while the greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack makes creating the focal point quick and easy. I love how all of these elements come together for a cheerful card that could be used for a birthday or just about any happy occasion!

This cheerful Stampin’ Up! card features a soft, monochromatic color palette with Crisp Cantaloupe from Painted Pattern Designer Series Paper, using the playful polka dots and coordinating horizontal strips. The oversized “Thinking of You” greeting that is die cut in Crisp Cantaloupe using the "Thinking of You" dies takes center stage, layered over Basic White for added dimension. Adding Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon, a delicate White Baker's Twine bow, and 2026-28 In Color Gems provide the perfect finishing touches to this sweet card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.
