Cardmaker, scrapbooker, cat mom, mom of three daughters, and wishes for kindness in the world.

I used a sketch from my Design Spark Sketchbook to I used a sketch from my Design Spark Sketchbook to create five different card designs, and for this version I reached for the June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit.

The bicycle and sentiments are stamped using the kit's exclusive stamp set, and that bike makes such a fun focal point.

Replace the flowers with autumn leaves and you’ve got a warm, seasonal card that’s perfect for autumn. A fun reminder that your kits can do so much more than the projects in the box.  #PaperPumpkin #BikesAndBlooms #CardMaking #HandmadeCards #stamphappycards
Sometimes simple stamping is all you need to creat Sometimes simple stamping is all you need to create an elegant card.

This one features the beautiful Begonia Belle Bundle with bright, cheerful colours and layered two-step stamping to give the flowers plenty of depth.
I love how a few coordinating colours can completely change the personality of this stamp set.

I coloured this piece of the Artisan Sketched Desi I coloured this piece of the Artisan Sketched Designer Series Paper way back at OnStage in March, and this project turned out to be the perfect opportunity to finally use it.

It's always satisfying when a piece you've been saving finally finds the perfect project!

To finish it off, I added some Fresh Freesia ribbon and a gold-embossed sentiment. Simple details, but they add just the right touch of elegance and help let the beautiful colouring take centre stage.
A black-and-white background makes such a beautifu A black-and-white background makes such a beautiful backdrop for brightly coloured florals. The contrast really helps those colours stand out and become the focal point of the card.

For this project, I used the Heirloom Arrangements stamps and dies to create a fresh, whimsical look. The flowers are coloured in one of my favourite combinations: Hydrangea Hue and Berry Burst.

1. Background: subtle printed paper
2. Strips: busier printed paper in a cohesive picture
3. Finish with coordinating ribbon, word label, and gems

I've used the Valley in Bloom papers here for a pretty finish.  And the gold embossing for the words always adds a luxe feel without a lot of effort.

The new Hot Foil System adds brilliant metallic detail that catches the light in a way photos just can’t capture. For this card, I used the beautiful Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies with soft pink blending and gold foil for an elegant finish.

Pro Tip: Colouring on the back of vellum is an easy way to soften bold colours. Simply use Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) on the reverse side, and the vellum naturally mutes the colour to create a soft, diffused look that's perfect for flowers, leaves, and other delicate images.

This card features the new Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: You don't always need a die-cut window to get a window-card look.

Try decorating only part of your card front and allowing the background to show through. This creates a faux window effect that adds depth and interest while keeping your card clean, simple, and fast to make.

It's a great trick to keep in mind when you're short on time but still want something a little different.

I was extremely pleased at how this 8x8 layout cam I was extremely pleased at how this 8x8 layout came together; it just so happens that photo was the perfect colours. 

The border is a bit of a crafting hack: I used small strips from the leftover pieces from the Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit, and just made the illusion of a background sheet. 

Then I used the Boutique Blossoms dies to tie it all together. 
Lucky approves.

For this Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin kit For this Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin kit alternative, I did a little switcharoo with the card: I turned it inside out! 

For the front, I actually used one of the envelopes (but you could also use 1/2 of a card base, if you prefer), and then embellished with the stamps and die cuts included. 

And then when the card is opened - beautiful! It's all printed and lovely on the inside, too.

Pro Tip: Even on small images, colour variation matters. I used Crisp Cantaloupe as my main colour and added a touch of Calypso Coral for shading. It only takes a few seconds, but it adds dimension and takes the colouring up a notch.
