The Tropical Leaf Bundle, which includes a stamp set and punch, make for a whimsical card! The Tropical Leaf Bundle is an Online Exclusive!
I started out by creating a background panel by repeatedly stamping the small and large leaves across the panel. The leaves were stamped using Soft Sea Foam ink and the veins were stamped using Pear Pizzazz ink. The stamped panel was adhered to a Mossy Meadow mat, then this unit was adhered to the card front.
The sentiment “Love you lots” was stamped onto the sentiment label and the label was matted to a piece of Mossy Meadow. A small amount of Stampin’ Seal was applied to the center of the card front and a piece of burlap ribbon was folded in half and adhered to the Stampin’ Seal. The sentiment label was adhered to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped several large leaves with veins onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using several different inks then I used the Tropical Leaf Punch to punch the leaves out. The leaves were adhered to the card front. The Pear Pizzazz leaf was adhered using liquid glue and the other two leaves were adhered above and below the sentiment label. Several Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were also adhered to the card front.
The “XOXO” sentiment was stamped onto the inside panel. The panel was adhered to a mat in Mossy Meadow then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.
A small leaf in Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzazz adorns the envelope front to finish off the card.
This is such a great card to give to your spouse, significant other, child, grandchild, or friend to remind them know how much you love them!

My March 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit arrived – Ten Years of Growth, and I couldn’t wait to assemble these cards. They are so incredibly pretty! If my photos don’t do these cards justice it’s because I’m still tweaking the settings on my new phone…I’m getting there!
I donate cards to a local hospital, and I needed some Easter and Spring cards this month so rather than following the Paper Pumpkin instructions (which are included with the kit!) I changed things up ever so slightly. I did use Easter sentiments from the Celebrating You Stamp Set and the Daffodil Daydream Stamp set. I also switched out the supplied Polished Pink Ink Spot for Gorgeous Grape ink. I also added Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the cards. Other than those modifications, I assembled the card components as per the instructions.
Each of the cards contains gold foil accents…so pretty!
Paper Pumpkin Kits come with everything you need to complete the project. Unless you want to change things up and use other supplies you have on hand like I did.
It took me about an hour to assemble these cards…that’s it! The Ten Years of Growth Kit came with an additional stamp set and made a total of 9 cards – 3 each of 3 different designs. Sometimes the kits will include a little something extra. Which is awesome! The stamps in this kit will cover friendship, Easter, birthdays, Spring and Mother’s Day.
You can read all about the upcoming April Paper Pumpkin Kit below.
Have a wonderful day!

My wonderful team leaders recently gifted each of their team members with the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Cards & Envelopes and Enjoy The Adventure Memories & More Card Pack for reaching a team goal! I love the Memories & More products as you can assemble cards with what is provided or put your own little twist on things! The photo above shows a few cards I created in a matter of minutes!
The photo below shows the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Cards & Envelopes, and the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Card Pack items along with some ribbon and embellishments that I pulled from my stash (ribbon, embellishments and adhesives are not included in Memories and More packs). The card bases measure 4″ x 6″, and the paper and envelopes are of the highest quality with a nice weight to them. If purchasing both the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Cards & Envelopes and the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Card Pack, you will receive 20 cards and envelopes, small and large panels and four sheets of stickers that coordinate beautifully.
Below is the first card I created with the Enjoy The Adventure products. I first chose one of the larger panels from the Memories and More Pack in a black and white “thank you” print and adhered this to one of the card bases. Next, I chose one of the small panels and cut the panel in half. I then wrapped some Black and White Gingham Ribbon around the smaller panel. The small panel was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and I added a Matte Black Dot to the sentiment label. Cute card…right?
On this next card I cut a mat in Balmy Blue card stock and adhered it to a small panel then adhered the panel to the upper left side of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used two of the provided stickers to create a sentiment label and also adhered this to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Balmy Blue and White Ribbon bow to the card front and I used a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend to color several Rhinestone Basic Jewels and added those to the larger panel.
On this next card I cut down one of the large panels from the Memories and More Pack and adhered it to a card base. I cut a mat in Basic Black card stock and adhered the mat at an angle on the card front. A small panel from the Memories and More Pack was adhered over the black mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A double Linen Thread bow was adhered at the base of the flower image and I added a Memories and More butterfly sticker to the top corner of the panel. I colored a Rhinestone Basic Jewel using the dark shade of a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend and added the jewel to the card front.
This last card I’m sharing with you is a thinking of you card. I cut a mat from Mint Macaron card stock and added a small panel from the Memories and More Pack. A bow in Balmy Blue and White Ribbon was added to the top of the small panel and I added a flower sticker from the Pack to the lower right of the small panel. A single Rhinestone Basic Jewel was colored with a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend and also added to the small panel.
These cards were a breeze to create and quick, too! And I still have enough materials to create 16 more cards! I hope I gave you some good ideas using the Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More items. I don’t have a pdf tutorial for you today for these cards but here are some basics:
Large Memories and More panels were cut down to 5-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ on the You’re Sweet card and 5-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ on the black and white Thank You card.
Mats for small panels were cut to 4-1/8″ x 3-1/8″
The insides of the cards were left blank so that I can stamp a sentiment of my choice when a card is needed.
The Enjoy The Adventure Memories and More Card and Envelopes and Card Pack are a great option and a great time saver! Give them a try! Products I used for these cards are listed at the bottom of this post.

Products used to create today’s card are included below along with links for each item that will take you to my online store.
Today’s card was created using the Rhino Ready Bundle (stamps and dies) and some ink blending. I love creating scenes using die cuts and ink blending! The Rhino Ready Bundle is now available as an Online Exclusive! As the name implies…you can only find these items online.
I started off by ink blending a Basic White panel to create a safari type landscape, complete with open plains, distant mountains and a Marula Tree (I had to google the name of the tree!). I also die cut a number of components using the Rhino Ready Dies. The image of our cute little Rhino and his bird friend was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and I used a variety of Stampin’ Blend colors to color in the image. All of the components were arranged onto the ink blended panel and adhered with either liquid glue or Stampin’ Dimensionals. This card uses quite a few inks and cardstock colors! If you don’t have the exact colors I used – use what you have and make it fun! If you would like to use the exact colors I used, I have all of the products listed at the bottom of this post for you.
The finished panel was adhered to a mat in Highland Heather then this unit was adhered to a card base in Mossy Meadow.
For the inside of the card, I stamped an additional sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and I stamped the sitting Rhino towards the bottom of the panel and colored him in using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. The panel was adhered to a Highland Heather mat then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.
The same image of the sitting Rhino was stamped onto the envelope front and colored using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The small bird was stamped onto the envelope flap and colored with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.
To finish off the card I used the light shade of an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend to add a shadow under the Rhino, plants and tree trunk and I used a Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter to lift a highlight on the Rhino’s tusk.
This card was loads of fun to put together…I hope you give it a try! You can download, save and print a pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.

It’s the first time I am using the Potted Geraniums Bundle…I’m not sure why I haven’t pulled this set out until now!
I used one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders to emboss a panel of Basic White cardstock and then adhered the embossed panel to a card base of Mossy Meadow. These 3D embossing folders are a new release as part of the Online Exclusives, and they are awesome. As the name implies these are only available online! You won’t find any of the Online Exclusives in any catalog.
From small scraps of Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral I used the dies from the Geraniums Dies to cut out the flower tops. The leaves were die cut from Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow. I used the two-step stamps to stamp the flowerpot using Cajun Craze ink. I assembled the flower top, leaves and flowerpot and adhered this to the card front. A linen double bow was added to the base of the flower stem.
The Geraniums Dies includes a pretty, decorative sentiment label die and I used this die to cut out a sentiment label from Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the label using Cajun Craze ink. I then used the dark shade of a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to outline the sentiment label. The label was popped onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the inside panel, I stamped an additional sentiment from the Potted Geraniums Stamp Set and then stamped the small flower marker in the lower right corner. The inside panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.
Several Brushed Brass Butterflies were added to the card front to finish off the card. I always decorate my card envelopes but opted not to this time.
Don’t forget that you can still purchase beautiful bundles and designer series paper from the Annual Catalog! The catalog is active through the end of April!

Nothing says Spring like Pansies (well, except maybe for daffodils)! I will be pulling out some Annual Catalog bundles over the next few weeks to remind you of all of the great card making options available to you! Today’s card features the Pansy Patch Bundle and one of the awesome new embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set!
I started off by using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders – the one with the star pattern – to emboss a 5-1/4″ x 4″ white panel. This panel was then adhered to a card base in Orchid Oasis.
I used the two-step stamps from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set to stamp several pansies in Orchid Oasis ink. The flower centers (there are two) were stamped in Daffodil Delight and then Night of Navy. Pansies have such happy little faces!
Using the Pansy Dies I die cut several leaves using Granny Apple Green and Garden Green cardstock and I cut one stem from Granny Apple Green cardstock. The flowers, stem and leaves were arranged on the card front then adhered down. The two larger pansies were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals for some added dimension.
I stamped a sentiment from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis ink onto a sentiment label and I added an Orchid Oasis mat behind the sentiment label. The sentiment label was adhered to the lower right corner of the card front.
A pansy and leaves were stamped onto the inside panel and the envelope front. The sentiment “thank you” was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on the inside panel and then the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
To finish off the card I added a double bow in Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon to the flower stem on the card front and several dots were added to the card front as well. When I created this card I used the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots not realizing that these embellishments are no longer available. I do my best to try and keep up with availability but sometimes miss…sorry about that! Feel free to add an embellishment of your choice to the card!

I pulled out a stamp set I haven’t used in a while – the Honey Bee Home Stamp Set and combined the images from this stamp set with die cuts from the Something Fancy Dies and the Dainty Delight Deies. I love combining stamp sets and dies to see what works well together when I’m creating cards!
Starting off with a card base in So Saffron I adhered a Fresh Freesia dotted paper from the 2021-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack to the card front. Using the hexagon die from the Something Fancy Dies set, I cut out five hexagons in Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower images from the Honey Bee Home Stamp Set on two of the hexagons using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and on the third hexagon I stamped the bee image from the same stamp set – also in black Memento ink. I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the images and stuck with the So Saffron and Fresh Freesia theme.
I used the Dainty Delight Dies to cut out three daisies from So Saffron cardstock and three flower centers from Fresh Freesia cardstock. The flower centers were adhered to the centers of the daisies, and I adhered one daisy each to two of the hexagons. I used the small rectangular label die from the Something Fancy Dies set to cut out a label in Basic White cardstock. I turned the sentiment label to a portrait orientation and stamped the “Best of Luck” sentiment towards the bottom of the label using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The third daisey was adhered to the top right of the sentiment label.
The five hexagons and the sentiment label were dry fit onto the card front and once I was satisfied with placement, I adhered all of these pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The tall flower image from the Honey Bee Home Stamp Set was stamped on the Inside Panel using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and I colored the flowers with So Saffron Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. The panel was then adhered to a mat in Fresh Freesia then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.
I stamped the same tall flower image partially onto the envelope front and colored in the image using Stampin’ Blends. A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap to finish off the envelope. Lastly, I adhered multiple Fresh Freesia Opaque Adhesive-backed Gems to the card front.
I love the Spring feel of this card. Anyone else ready for spring? I know it’s not feeling like spring quite yet in the Northeast…soon, though!

Happy Friday! This fun Double Time get well card was created using the beautiful Naturally Gilded 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, a little ink blending, and dies from the Deckled Rectangles Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started off with a 5-1/4″ x 4″ panel of the silver Naturally Gilded 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used a blending brush to blend So Saffron ink towards the bottom center of the panel, then ink blended Starry Sky ink above the yellow area.
On the ink blended panel, I used the 3rd smallest Deckled Rectangle to die cut from the center of the panel. This die cut rectangle was matted to a mat in Starry Sky ink. The mat was cut using the 4th to smallest Deckled Rectangle.
The large ink blended panel was adhered to the front of a Starry Sky card base. The matted rectangle was adhered to the center of the card front and I was careful to line up the tree patterns on the large panel and the smaller rectangular panel. This is the awesome Double Time technique! How fun!
From the Cottage Rose Stamp Set I stamped the sentiment onto the 2″ x 2″ piece of So Saffron cardstock and used the 3rd to smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out the label. I used a short length of Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon and folded the ribbon in half and adhered the folded section of the ribbon to the lower right of the small rectangle on the card front. The sentiment label was adhered over top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the narrow DSP strip and rectangle for the envelope, I again ink blended So Saffron ink towards the bottom of these sections, then ink blended Starry Sky on the remaining areas of the designer series paper. The strip was adhered down the right side of the inside panel and then the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
The 6″ x 2-1/5″ ink blended designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed away the excess paper from the flap to finish off the envelope.
I had a lot of fun making this easy Double Time card! Give it a try!

It’s Thursday and you know what that means! It’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Be sure to hop around to all of the blogs in the Hop today for some great inspiration!
I created this cute easel Easter card for today using the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and a pretty print from the Rain or Shine 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
We have a sketch challenge for today’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and here it is…
The standing and sitting bunnies were stamped onto scraps of white cardstock and I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the images. I also stamped two carrots and colored in these images as well. I then used my paper snips to fussy cut the images. From a small strip of Old Olive cardstock I cut a gentle rolling hill.
A panel of flowered paper from the Rain or Shine 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to a mat in Basic White cardstock and this unit was then adhered to a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock. The hand cut “hill” was adhered to the bottom of this unit. I used my paper snips to cut between the paws of the sitting bunny and adhered one of the fussy cut carrots between the bunny’s paws. The bunnies were then adhered to this panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the second carrot was tucked behind the grass hill between the bunnies.
A card base measuring 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ was cut from Mango Melody cardstock and scored on the long edge at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. The bottom of the decorated bunny panel was adhered to the front bottom of the card base.
A panel of the same Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper flower print was adhered to the inside of the card. On a white panel measuring 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ I stamped grass along the bottom edge and used an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend to color in the blades of grass. Two butterflies were stamped on this panel and also colored with Stampin’ Blends in So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. This white panel was adhered to the inside of the card towards the top.
Using the Stylish Shapes Dies set, I cut one large and one small sentiment label from white cardstock using the larger of the four label dies included in the set. I stamped the sentiment “Enjoy all the little moments” onto the smaller labels and “Happy Easter” onto the larger label using Mango Melody ink. The small sentiment label was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the label was placed towards the upper left of the card front. The larger sentiment label was placed on the inside of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This label becomes the “stop” for the easel portion of the card and was positioned towards the bottom of the inside of the card and centered right to left.
The envelope front was decorated with grass and a butterfly and a coordinating piece of designer series paper was added to the envelope front. I tied a small bow using white Baker’s twine and placed the bow on one of the bunnies. Multiple yellow Loose Frosted Dots were added to the card front to finish off the card.
This was a fun card to put together and it’s a great card for the little ones! You can view a pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the link below.
