Planted Paradise is a “reversible” stamp set, and I used the “plain” side of a leaf stamp for today’s clean & simple card. This is a new stamp set in the January-April Mini Catalog, available January 4, 2024.
I began by using the largest Perennial Postage Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. This layer was attached, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Reversible Leaf
Prior to attaching the layer, I randomly stamped a leaf in several strengths of Shaded Spruce Ink.
The sentiment, “you are loved beyond measure,” was stamped in full strength of Shaded Spruce Ink.
To show a little more love, I used a Sending Love Die to cut a heart from Basic White Cardstock, and attached it with a Dimensional.
Planted Paradise, Perennial Postage, and Sending Love, are all in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, and will be available January 4, 2024.

Today’s card is another sneak peek of Adoring Hearts in “white on white,” available in the new, January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and embossed with a 3D Basics Embossing Folder.

Next, I used the second largest Perennial Postage Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and placed it on Dimensionals. This is another set in the new catalog, available January 3, 2024.
The three hearts were cut with Adoring Hearts Dies from Thick Basic White Cardstock; three plain hearts, and three intricate overlays. After gluing them together, I attached them with Dimensionals.
Prior to attaching the layer, I stamped the sentiment from the Adoring Hearts Stamp Set. “To my Valentine” was stamped in VersaMark, sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder, and set with the Heat Tool.
I was inspired by TGIF.

The Simply Sparkling Bundle is a fun, new, product in “Online Exclusives.” Clicking on the picture, in my Product List below, will take you to my store for details and ordering.
You’re Soda-lightful
This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, and I was excited to use the Simply Sparkling Bundle. See how the other designers used the colors, then add your card to our gallery.
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Basic Black Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, embossed with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder for texture. Doesn’t the black make the colors pop?
To create the soda can, I stamped it in VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock, sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. After using its Simply Sparkling Die for cutting, I colored the can with a Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend, and stamped the lemon halves, and “always refreshing,” in Daffodil Delight Ink.
Next, I cut two more cans; one from Delightful Floral DSP in Pool Party, and one from Basic White Cardstock that I colored with Petal Pink Ink and a Blending Brush. I also cut two sets of bubbles from a Silver Foil Sheet.
The sentiment “makes” the card, don’t you think? I stamped “you’re soda-lightful” in Memento Black Ink, used a Sending Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of the Adoring Hearts Stamp Set, available in the new, January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. So, let’s start with the top layer. I stamped the heart and sentiment, from the Adoring Hearts Stamp Set, in Pretty Peacock Ink on Delightful Floral Designer Paper, 3 1/2″ X 3″. Then, I backed it with Granny Apple Green Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Floral Heart
I LOVE this stamp set, and it has the Adoring Hearts Die Set to coordinate! Plus, I photographed on one of the designs from the coordinating, Most Adored Designer Paper, a FREE Sale-a-bration item, beginning January 3, 2024.
Beneath the top layer is more Delightful Floral Designer Paper, 3″ X 3 3/4″, and the leaves, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This paper is an online exclusive that’s available now, as long as supplies last.
After gluing the layers to a Pretty Peacock card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added a Flat Adhesive Backed Pearl as a final touch.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Today’s card is my first creation with this set, which I think is great for masculine cards.
I began with a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing, I used a Garden Meadow Die to cut the arc in the center. Then, I used the same die to cut a pattern of Hello Irresistible Designer Paper to fill in the arched space.

Next, I stamped the pots and plants in five colors of Ink: Cajun Craze, Copper Clay, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Granny Apple Green.
After stamping, I fussy cut the pots and plants, added a little glue, and attached them with Dimensionals.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Translucent Florals Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink. Don’t you think this card is suitable for a man?
