Do-Over

 Do. you ever make something that you love so much you just have to make it again?

I made this card a few weeks ago, and decided to use it for my recent Card Club.  Everyone got a different color background - the striped sheet from the 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper packs in Subtles, Brights or In Colors.  And the totes on the front were all cut with coordinating colors of DSP's that I had (yes, it was a nightmare for me to prep all these cards in different colors, but SO worth it when I saw the finished cards!).

And this is what we made:

My sample was done with a Bubble Bath background and a tote cut from the new Florals in Bloom patterned paper (available May 6th!).  I used Blackberry Bliss for my accent pieces and the ink color for stamping.

The Notes & Totes stamps/die bundle will be available on May 6th as well, when the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog goes live.  And when adhered to your card, this little tote bag becomes a gift card holder!  Such a fun way to present that gift card.

The greetings used on this card are from two retiring sets, Tune In and Attention Shoppers.  Now would be a great time to purchase these before they disappear forever!  Check out the Last Chance list and pick up your sets.

Floral Delight Gift Card Holder

OK, are you ready to see an adorable gift card holder?  I was playing with the Notes & Totes dies and came up with this card:

 I had first made this:

Aww, isn't that cute?  

Using the Floral Delight designer series paper, I cut two of the "tote" dies, as well as some Pecan Pie trim pieces.  

It's pretty easy to put the pieces together to create a little 3-dimensional tote bag.  

And look!  I even added a sweet pocket!

So then I got to playing and figuring out how to make a coordinating card.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White and added a piece of Brights 6" x 6" DSP in Daffodil Delight.  

But it looked a little plain, so I stamped a few of the flowers from Delightful Wishes (the stamp set that coordinates with the Floral Delight paper) directly on the paper.  I also added the greetings, from Tune In and Attention Shoppers.

And once I added the tote bag, I realized that I could pop it up so that it would hold a gift card - perfect for the "shopping is always a good idea" sentiment, right?

What an adorable combination!

Note & Totes will be released on May 6th when the 2025-26 Annual Catalog goes live.  

But if you like this card, you may want to be sure to grab Tune In and Attention Shoppers (two of my favorite sets), as well as the Floral Delight DSP, as they are on the Last Chance List and will be retiring when they are all gone.  And there's so much more!  So don't miss out!

Retro Anniversary

What's your go-to for anniversary cards? I usually send cards with hearts or flowers for anniversaries...how about you?  

Well, how about a retro-anniversary card?  

I love the Tune In bundle (stamps and dies). 

It's so easy to create a fun TV by either stamping and cutting the image or just cutting one out and adding some dials and a sound box.  

But adding this little television to a background of Full of Life DSP made this one pop! Of course I also had to add some retro symbols - that Jetson star (if you know, you know), and some little lightening bolts and stars, oh I had such fun!

The message is heat-embossed with the new WOW Embossing Powders in white. On black inside the Granny Apple Green tv - WOW!

And I needed to jazz up the inside with a layer of Granny Apple Green and some stars! Fun, fun!

Not your typical hearts-and-flowers anniversary card, but isn't it fun?
