CASED card

 Melodie from Paper Celebrations — that’s who I CASE’d (copy and share everything) this card from!  I fell in love with the colors and the stamping tone on tone behind the stamped and raised flowers. It adds such a nice look and is so easy to do… you’re already using that stamp set why not take your card to that next level, gives it depth and just looks great!! She is a blogger I follow and on the Stampin Up Artisian team.  

As I was working on making a few of these I received word that my sister-in-law’s mother had passed away-bingo one lovely card done and in the mail that day!

Textured Floral bundle

I found some stenciled backgrounds and some die cut flowers from the texture floral stamp set and bundle. I must’ve meant to put these together into a card at one time and forgot. You probably don’t ever do that do you?😊 So I decided to put them together today and then found a couple other cards that I had made with this stamp set. Here they are hope you enjoy them.


I saw this one below on Pinterest, loved the colors so I CASE’d it😁

Altenew -Statement Flowers

 This  Stamp from Altenew is a big one. I loved these flowers and decided to get it a while back. I’ve used it for some other cards but I decided I wanted to try something different this time. I stamped the floral image multiple times on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of card stock. Then I water colored the flowers and leaves Cut it in quarters and now I’m assembling the pieces in two cards I have two of them done working on the other two. I left enough space so that I could add a sentiment when I decide who I’m going to send these cards to.  

I found a Stamping in the center and then in certain places around the edge is a good way to do this. There are many other people that show this style also. It makes for a nice set of cards if you want to give a gift. The cards are all the same color but they all look different. Makes assembling the cards quicker because you can use all the same colors on them if you desire.


Here’s the 3 that are done 😊 I’m still trying to decide if the last one needs anything else, any suggestions?

Watercolor backgrounds

 I decided I wanted to try some watercolor backgrounds with this lighthouse Stamp. It is a Divinity Design image, they used to be known as Our Daily Bread stamp company.  I googled lighthouses/sunsets and took some pictures off of the web as inspiration. Thanks for stopping in…which one is your favorite?

Textured Floral

I see so many cards that people make with blues and I always love them but for some reason I never think to get the blues out when I’m making a floral card. But I did it this time! And I love it!
This is the textured floral stamp bundle from Stampin Up it is so very pretty! I used designer series paper it’s called countryside Inn. This is another fun fold card that I saw on a YouTube channel that I decided to give a try. It’s really quite pretty it has a belly band to hold it closed. The left side folds in then the smaller right side folds over the top of it. It’s a little bit thicker because of all I added on the pages and the front. I haven’t checked to see if it’ll go through the mail yet.

Countryside Corners

 Well I haven’t added a card in a long time… decided to play with the Countryside Corners stamp and dies New to the 2023-2024 Stampin Up Catalog.  The flowers and sentiments are also from S.Up—-Sending Smiles bundle. 

   I saw the card like this on Pinterest I’m sorry I don’t remember who put it on and decided to give it a try it really wasn’t that hard partial diet cutting and scissors to cut out the base of the card then added all the elements on top of layers. It easily fits in an envelope. 

thanks for stopping bye.
