Today’s card was created with the Fragrant Layers Bundle, a favorite from the new, January 2026 Online Exclusives. I began by using one of the dies to cut two, trios of flowers from Basic White Cardstock. I also cut leaves from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with three additional Fragrant Layers Dies. Then, I used a Small Blending Brush and Pretty In Pink Ink to add color to the flowers.

Fragrant Layers Hello
Next, I used a fifth, Fragrant Layers Die to cut small flowers from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, and glued these to the backside of the flowers. I don’t think this was the intended purpose for this die, but the cut-outs fit the flower centers perfectly.

The background was created with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder and Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This layer was glued to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. After attaching the flowers with Dimensionals, I glued the leaves flat. The sentiment, “hello,” is from the Fragrant Leaves Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used a sixth, Fragrant Layers Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three Iridescent Pearls

Today’s card includes a new favorite from Online Exclusives, Lovely Arrangements Dies. I used this fun die to cut Splendid Autumn Designer Paper in two colors: Highland Heather and Balmy Blue.

Lovely Arrangements Elephant
Next, I stamped the elephant, from the Big Little Things Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a 2 3/4″ X 2″ Perennial Postage Die for cutting. Then, I used the largest Perennial Postage Die to Cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued the Lovely Arrangements die-cuts in place. After gluing the layer to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I attached the elephant with Dimensionals.

“Huge Thanks” is also from the Big Little Things Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used the smallest Perennial Postage Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final detail, I attached three Smoky Slate Pearls.

I’m continuing to have fun with products from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, coming soon. For today’s card, I cut toadstools from the Cute As A Bug Designer Paper with Sweet Bugs Dies, and layered them on cardstock for thickness. Then, I used Sweet Bugs Dies to cut greenery from Season Of Elegance Designer Paper.

Toadstools
For the background, I used the second largest Textured Notes Die to cut Basic Beige Cardstock.This was glued to Cute As A Bug Designer Paper, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″, glued to an Old Olive card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Once the background was glued, I attached the toadstools and greenery with a combination of Dimensionals. and glue.

The sentiment, “You make me smile,” is from a Last Chance stamp set, Happy Hibiscus. After stamping it in Old Olive Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Last, but not least, I cut three snails from Crumb Cake Cardstock, using a Sweet Bugs Die. This die cuts tiny butterflies and dragonflies also. Don’t you love it?

Today’s card is a sneak peek of Fragrant Layers, a wonderful Online Exclusive. I began with its unique, 2 1/4″ X 3 1/4″ die, to cut the center from Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

Fragrant Layers sneak peek
Next, I used Fragrant Layers Dies to cut Coastal Cabana Cardstock. and Granny Apple Green Cardstock, and glued the leaves and floral outline to the back of the Basic White “cut-out.” Then, I glued the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing the layer, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. “Just a note” is from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set.

The last, and very important detail, was adding the adorable ladybugs. The Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes are a new embellishment in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. All of the new products will be available January 6th.

This beautiful dove, from the Peace On Earth Bundle, is making another appearance. She is carrying an envelope, and both were cut with Peace On Earth Dies from Basic White Cardstock. After cutting, I attached the dove with Dimensionals to Peaceful Garden Designer Paper (Cloud Cover), cut with the smallest, square, Perennial Postage Die. Then, I turned the square, and glued it to another pattern of Peaceful Garden Designer Paper (Crumb Cake), cut with a long, narrow, Textured Notes Die.

Sending Love
The background was cut with the third largest, Textured Notes Die from Peaceful Garden Designer Paper (Cloud Cover). Then, I stamped “sending love,” from the Peace On Earth Stamp Set, in Secret Sea Ink. After layering for thickness, I attached it with Dimensionals to a layer of Peaceful Garden Designer Paper (Crumb Cake), cut with the largest Perennial Postage Die. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

To complete my design, I added three, Neutral Matte Dots in white.

Today’s card is a fun color challenge, using Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive. The first thing I did was use the Extraordinary Flora Stamp with Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping the numerous flowers and leaves with one stamp, I used the Extraordinary Flora Die to cut them all out at one time. If this doesn’t make sense, check out the bundle in my Product List below. Then, I colored the pieces with Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral and Old Olive.

Just Because
Next, I cut the layer for the flowers from Basic White Cardstock, using the fourth largest Branching Out Die. This layer was attached, with Dimensionals, to Woven Textures Designer Paper, cut with the largest Branching Out Die. The card base is Crumb Cake, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The word, “just” was cut from Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Paper with a Words Of Beauty Die, layered for thickness, and glued in place. The word “because,” from the Words Of Beauty Stamp Set, was stamped in Old Olive Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used its Words Of Beauty Die for cutting. Then, I attached the flowers with Dimensionals, and glued “because” on top.

As a last detail, I attached three Pearls Of Beauty.
