This is my first sneak peek from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, which will be available for ordering May 6th. The Beautiful Motif Dies are part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection, and aren’t these dies wonderful? I used them to cut Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, which gives a fabulous variation of color.

Beautiful Motif Sneak Peek
The background is Basic White Cardstock, stamped in Pool Party Ink with the Painted Stripes Stamp. After stamping I used the second largest Textured Notes Die for cutting. Then, I glued the layer to a Pool Party card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“You’re a true blessing” is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink. I found the Pool Party Dots in the pack of Rainbow Dots. The dots are carrying over to the new catalog, as well as the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, and Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. YAY!

Today’s card features the Lovely Garden Designer Paper. I began by fussy cutting flowers from the designer paper, and placing the trio on Dimensionals.

Flowers and Arches
Next, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Lovely Garden DSP (black & white leaves). Then, I stamped, “you are simply fantastic,” in Garden Green Ink. This sentiment is from the Everyday Arches Stamp Set, and don’t you love the arched shape?

The graph design beneath the leaves, also from Lovely Garden DSP, was cut with the largest Everyday Arches Die. I glued the layers together to a Garden Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Three Earth Tones Gems were the final touch.

For my second card using the the Thankful Garden Bundle, I’m featuring the coordinating, Lovely Garden Designer Paper.
I began with a black & white pattern, cut with the largest Textured Notes Die. This was glued to a Fresh Freesia card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used two smaller Textured Notes Dies to cut two additional patterns of Lovely Garden DSP. These were overlapped, and glued in place.

Lovely Garden Hydrangeas
Next, I fussy cut hydrangeas from a fourth pattern of the designer paper. I attached the full flower with Dimensionals, and glued the small section of flower in place.

“You make a difference,” is from the Thankful Garden Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Textured Notes Die for cutting. After gluing it to a fifth pattern of Lovely Garden DSP, I attached the sentiment with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three Tinsel Gems in Fresh Freesia.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE Kayla Renee’s fun card. I’m using Kayla’s green colors, with a purple focal point, and white on black sentiment.

I began with a Highland Heather card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, which I embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. Then, I layered it with Coastal Cabana Cardstock, 3 3/8″ X 4 7/8″.

Textured Notes Leaves
The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Textured Notes Die. Before cutting, I stamped leaves from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, using Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist Inks.

For my focal point, I used Cheerful Daisies Dies to create a flower from Highland Heather Cardstock, and Basic White Cardstock, that I colored lightly with a Blending Brush and Highland Heather Ink. The sprigs were cut from Granny Apple Green Cardstock.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in versaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder. After setting it with the Heat Tool, I used its Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. For a little sparkle, I added three, Iridescent Foil Gems.

This is my first card with the Thankful Garden Bundle, an Online Exclusive. I love hydrangeas, don’t you? I began by stamping the hydrangea in Fresh Freesia Ink on Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper. Then, I used its die for cutting.

Hydrangea Hello

The Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team is a group of past and continuing Artisans, bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge for inspiration. This month’s challenge is a sketch.

To begin the challenge, I stamped a circular scene from the Under The Moon Stamp Set on Basic White Cardstock. I used Night Of Navy Ink for the “sky” and dolphins, and Coastal Cabana Ink for the “ocean.” The moon was colored with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. Then, I used a Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and placed it on Dimensionals.

Under the Moon
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest, Textured Notes Die. After cutting, I added color with a Blending Brush and Coastal Cabana Ink, along with stamping spots from the Elements Of Text Stamp Set. This was layered on Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 3/8″, and glued to a Coastal Cabana card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“You are seriously the best” is from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink. After stamping, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three, Tinsel Gems.
