Today marks the first day of the Kre8tor’s Vlog Hop. And guess what……..I’m venturing into “videoland.” Rather than give written instructions for this card, you can watch me in a YouTube video. I used new products from the Forever Greenery Suite, which are gorgeous, and in my Product List below.

For those of you wondering what a “vlog” is, it’s like a Blog Hop, but with videos. This is new territory for many of us, but we are delighted to share with you. So, continuing on to see what the other Kre8tors have in store.

This card was so “quick & easy,” I added a tiny embellishment to spend more time with it! Can you see it?
Gold on Green
I must confess, that tiny embellishment is also to cover up a missing “stitch.” This happened when I used a second Stitched Rectangles Die to make the white rectangle fit within the gold. It seemed to really show up against the gold, so I added some Faceted Dots and a Pearl. My tiny flower adds character, don’t you think?
The sentiment is from the Country Home Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink, and glued to one of the fabulous shapes of Forever Gold Laser-cut DSP.
The card base is Shaded Spruce, topped with a layer of Whisper White Cardstock with a 2″ strip of Forever Greenery Designer Paper on the left side. I embossed it with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder for added interest.
My inspiration was from Freshly Made Sketches:

Today I’m sharing a card using a favorite “carry-over” stamp set from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog, Positive Thoughts. I was so excited when Stampin’ Up! created dies to coordinate with it (Nature’s Thoughts), and both are available in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. They are in my Product List below, and clicking on the pictures takes you to my store for ordering.
Hugs Prayers Love
The card base is Bermuda Bay, topped with a layer of Whisper White Cardstock, that I embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Prior to embossing, I used the largest Ornate Layers Die to give it that pretty edge. Then, I taped a piece of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the white layer, and glued it to the card base.
This is currently my favorite ribbon, and the reason I chose it for my Host Code gift for the month of June. If you order a minimum of $50.00 in June, I will mail you the ribbon in July. You’ll find more details below.
Next, I used a second Ornate Layers Die to cut the center strip from Coastal Cabana Cardstock. Before attaching it with Dimensionals, I stamped “Hugs Prayers Love” from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay Ink.
The sprig was created with a Positive Thoughts Stamp, VersaMark, White Embossing Powder, Pool Party Cardstock, the Heat Tool, and a Nature’s Thoughts Die.
The last detail was adding a bow of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, and some Woven Threads Sequins.
Have you played in a Tic Tac Toe challenge? My card would fit in two rows: flowers, die-cut, embossing or girly, die-cut, friendship. It’s fun to design a card to fit the parameters, and you should give it a try!

Can you believe, it’s the first of June?! I get to announce the winner of May’s drawing for the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set and Small Bloom Punch:
Congratulations, Roxanne! It will be in the mail, so watch for it.
The excitement doesn’t end in May, so keep scrolling to see my new Host Code gift, and drawing for June.
Today’s card is all about flowers, because “floral” is the theme at Global Design Project, #GDP243.
I’m also sharing with TGIF’s “vellum die cuts” challenge.
Vellum Poppies
I love the Poppy Moments Dies, so I used two to cut flower frames from Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I used two dies to cut vellum that fit the shapes of the frames. A tiny bit of glue was used to attach them together, and I added Dimensionals to the centers.
For the background, I cut a piece of the new, gorgeous, Forever Greenery Designer Paper with an Ornate Layers Die. Isn’t the detailed edge fabulous?
The shiny gold is from the new Forever Gold Laser-Cut Designer Paper. This intricate branch is amazing! I used a border from the DSP to cut the poppy centers (Poppy Moments Dies) and “welcome” (Well Written Dies).
TIP: A very, very, very light touch of Tombow Liquid Glue holds the branch in place. Avoid touching the gold with gluey fingers, because it will leave a smudge. Ask me how I know, LOL.
The card base is Pretty Peacock, and I embossed the front with my new, favorite embossing folder, Tasteful Textiles.
This card will be welcoming one of my new team members. If you’ve thought about joining Stampin’ Up! for the discount and other benefits, I’ll tell you a secret: June will be the month to join! Tune in June 3rd, this Wednesday, when the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog goes live (everyone gets to order) and I’ll fill you in on the details.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m so excited to see what June has in store for us!
For my last post of May, I’m showing you another way to use the new Birds & Branches Bundle. This circle die is truly amazing! Just use it to cut through the card front for a “peek-a-boo” card.
“Peek-a-boo”
The card base is our new Just Jade color. Isn’t it pretty? And, the great news is, you get to order it June 3rd! That’s when our 2020-2021 Annual Catalog goes live, meaning we all get to order everything we love from the new catalog! You can see details of this bundle in my Product List below.
After cutting the circle, I used a second fabulous die in the set to cut the edge. Can you imagine the fun you’ll have with this die?!
I created the pretty bird by stamping her in Mango Melody Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cutting with a third die in the set. I glued her to the bottom of the circle, and backed her with a plain white die-cut on the back for support.
Next, I used a fourth die in the set to cut some extra branches from Just Jade Cardstock to surround the circle, adding foliage for the bird.
And, I completed the card front with a few, little Pearls.
The inside has “happy birthday” from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink.
TIP: I made sure the sentiment was in the right spot before stamping, because of the “peek-a-boo” circle.
I’m really excited about the coming month of June. I love the warm, summer days with long daylight hours. And, I love what Stampin’ Up! has in store for us! Come back tomorrow when I’ll announce the winner of May’s drawing for the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set and Small Bloom Punch.
Plus, you’ll get to see June’s Host Code gift and the stamp set for June’s drawing.
Thanks for visiting me today. Bye bye May, hello June! See you tomorrow!
