Happy Tuesday stampers. Today I am going to share a gorgeous card in shades of blue with vellum embossing. To say that I love this card is an understatement. I used one of my all time favourite stamp sets, In The Moment. Would you like to see it??
Shades of Blue
This card was inspired by the gorgeous Countryside Inn paper which should be available again next week. It has many shades of blue and it reminds me of Delft Blue.

Hello stampers. Wisteria Wishes really is WOW!! Take a look at the photo below and you will see what happens when you fall in love with a stamp set. To think that this bundle wasn’t even on my radar at first! The sad thing is, this bundle is retiring soon so be sure to get it before April 30. If you do, then you can come to my FREE Zoom class on May 17 at 1pm EST or 7pm European Central Time.
A Closer Look at Wisteria Wishes Cards
If you are like me, you will appreciate a closer look at some of the cards. My favourite thing in making these cards was making the wisteria blossoms out of watercolour paper that had been colour washed with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I did a short video tutorial on this technique and I will share that video in this blog as well.

Hello stampers and welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing what I call a bright vintage Queen Bee card. The feel is definitely vintage but the pop of Crushed Curry does make it a bit brighter than traditional vintage. This design is from Laura Milligan who also designed this stamp set as a Million Dollar Achiever. I loved making it!

A Few More Queen Bee Cards
I really do love the word “beloved” in this stamp set. I’ve used it in the background for my sympathy cards and that really tugs at my heartstrings.
For this square vintage card (it measures 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″) I layered it with vellum cardstock, smoky slate and crushed curry cardstock. The details in the background come from Ranunculus Romance.
Colour Refresh
Today is the day that we find out about the colour refresh. My advice would be to order the ink refills and cardstock of the colours that you love that are leaving and do so as soon as possible. I am sure that some will sell out very quickly, so this is a time when you do not want to procrastinate!
Thanks for joining me today. As always, the products that I have used are listed below. A simple click on them, and you will be in my online store in Canada. If you live in Europe you can shop with me here or join my team.
Way to Grow caught my eye right away when I saw the new mini catalog. I love it when you can combine stamps to make a complete image. In this stamp set you can combine stamps to make different people but you can also combine stamps to make different potted plants. It really is just so much fun!!
Card Ideas
Here are some of the cards that I came up with while playing with this stamp set. I found that it combined very well with the Enjoy the Journey paper. For this first card I stamped the sentiment from Way to Grow in Versamark on Evening Evergreen and white embossed. The die is from Beautiful Shapes dies.
Secret Ingredient
The secret ingredient on the two last cards is the Eden dies. You can find them on page 171 of the annual catalog. Maybe you were lucky enough to get them for free during saleabration? I know that is what I did and it made me so happy. My job as a Stampin’Up! demonstrator is to let you know about all the amazing deals that Stampin’Up! offers.
The best one is available all year long and it is the starter kit. Did you know that you can get the starter kit even if you don’t plan on making a business as a demonstrator? You can get it just for your own discount! Click here to get your kit in Europe, or here in Canada.
Thanks for joining me today and happy stamping! Have a super day.
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. I am really excited to share these cards with you today. Embossing on patterned paper is so much fun! These cards combine two of my favourite things: patterned paper and Memories & More cards. The large Memories & More cards measure 4 1/4″ by 6 1/4″ so they are bigger than our standard sized cards. This means you have a bigger “canvas” to show off our beautiful patterned paper!
Embossing on Patterned Paper
To keep the focus on the patterned paper and on the striking die cuts, I decided to simply emboss right on the patterned paper in white. Don’t you just love the look of this?
The Process
Here you can see my desk with some of the elements that I used to make these cards. The key is to cut the patterned paper into 3/4″ strips. I started with a 4″ by 6″ piece of patterned paper. You will end up with 8 strips but you only need 7. The big decision is whether to discard the top strip or the bottom one!
For the pink card above, I first embossed the flowers in black before cutting into strips. All of the cards had the sentiment embossed after the strips were adhered to the coordinating cardstock which measures 4 1/8″ by 6 1/8″. You could choose to emboss your sentiment first as well before cutting into strips. Take a look at my last card. You will see that there are bits of embossing in between the gaps of patterned paper. If you don’t like that look then emboss your larger sentiments before cutting your patterned paper into strips.

You may not be aware that I am trying to live in two countries! Most of my time is spent with my husband in the Netherlands, but I travel back to Canada frequently to visit my mom, siblings, children and grandchildren. This craziness makes it difficult to schedule regular classes, so I rely on online sales to keep my business afloat. That means that YOUR online order would be greatly appreciated. You can shop with me in Canada by clicking on the links below OR you can click here to shop with me in Europe.
