A Touch of Love & Courage with Pressed Flowers and Darling Duckling

-

 Hi Crafting Friend,

If you're looking to create a heartfelt handmade card that radiates warmth and strength, this project is the perfect mix of elegance and encouragement.

This design uses a new stamp set that will be available on September 3rd. The Love & Courage stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is a beautiful collection of sentiments and imagery that speaks directly to the heart. Paired with rich Mossy Meadow and cheerful Darling Duckling, the color palette brings depth and joy together in one perfect harmony.

The star of the texture show? The Pressed Flowers embossing folder. It gives the background a delicate, natural dimension that makes the focal image pop even more.

The sentiments were stamped in Darling Duckling ink with select words highlighted by going over them with a black gel pen, keeping the tones warm and consistent. The contrast between the deep green and the sunny yellow is bold but still soothing—perfect for sending love, courage, or a gentle hello.

This card was quick to make but full of meaning. It's a reminder that sometimes a handmade card can speak louder than words. Stay inspired and never underestimate the power of a little ink, paper, and love. 💛🌿

Hi Crafting Friend, The Perennial Lavender DSP was still on my desk along with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch so, that's what I started with. Instead of waiting until I need one, I decided to make a Sympathy card with them. I really like the way it looks. What do you think?       Card Front                                                                 Inside/Insert Here's how to duplicate it: CARD BASE Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"  Score, Fold and Burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side.

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the tre...

Bloom Impressions Spring Quilt For You Card

 Hi Crafting Friends, Here we are in 2025. The weather has been cold, but not too cold, which I greatly appreciate. I woke up to hazy skies this morning and my mind went immediately to the fires over in California. My heart goes out to all those that have had to flee and leave their belongings behind to be consumed by the raging flames. If you or anyone you know are near those areas, I hope you are all safe! How about a little bit of distraction? I have been seeing a lot of "quilt" cards lately, so I made one too. We'll get to the card in a minute. First, I need to tell you that the new Mini Catalog, the Sale-A-Bration Brochure and the new Scrapbooking Brochure are all out. The stamp set, DSP and embossing folder used to make this card can all be found in the Mini Catalog or the SAB Brochure. Everything in the SAB Brochure is available free with either a $60 or $120 order. (before tax and shipping) There are a lot of great products in all of them! If you don't have th...
