Filled with Sweetness Strawberry Card | Easy Handmade Card with Texture & Layers

Hi friends!

I hope you're having a wonderful day! Today I'm sharing the second card we created during last week's card class, and I have to say...this one just makes me smile. 🍓There's something about bright strawberries, pretty florals, and lots of texture that feels so fresh and happy. It's the kind of card that's perfect for sending a little encouragement or simply letting someone know you're thinking of them.

I also love that while this card looks like it has lots of detail, it comes together with just a few simple techniques that really make the design shine.

For today's card, I paired the Filled with Sweetness Bundle with the beautiful Home Made Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The floral print adds just the right pop of color behind the focal point, and layering it onto a strip of Crushed Curry Cardstock helps frame everything beautifully. The combination of bright strawberries, fresh greens, and cheerful florals is one of my favorite color combinations from this suite.

The real star of this card is all the texture! I embossed the card front with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, creating a beautiful background that doesn't compete with the focal image. The strawberries were colored with Strawberry Slush and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, then popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals for extra depth. I stamped the sentiment in Strawberry Slush Ink on one of the sweet coordinating die-cut labels, and finished everything off with a simple linen thread bow and a few Strawberry Slush dots for just the right finishing touch.

To carry the design to the inside, I added a 1" x 4" strip of the coordinating flower-print Designer Series Paper along the bottom. It's a simple detail that makes the card feel polished from start to finish.

I hope this card inspires you to mix embossing, layers, and colorful Designer Series Paper to create something sweet of your own. Sometimes it's those little finishing touches—the embossed background, dimensional layers, and a bit of twine—that make a handmade card feel extra special.

Love You Berry Much - Filled With Sweetness

Hi Friends! There’s just something about blueberries, florals, and gingham ribbon that feels like summertime! Today's project is a sweet little fun fold card featuring the Filled with Sweetness Bundle and the beautiful Home Made Sweetness Designer Series Paper. This card is full of cheerful color and texture, yet it's simple enough for crafters of any skill level to recreate.

Whether you're making a birthday card, a thinking-of-you card, or simply sending a little handmade happiness, this design is sure to brighten someone's day.

The Filled with Sweetness Bundle makes creating layered focal points so easy, thanks to its coordinating stamps and dies. I paired it with the Home Made Sweetness Designer Series Paper, whose tiny floral print perfectly complements the blueberry images without overpowering them. The soft Misty Moonlight Checkered Ribbon adds the perfect finishing touch and helps highlight the fun fold design.

One of my favorite things about this card is how easy it is to assemble. The fun fold creates a unique presentation, while the layering keeps the design interesting without being complicated. I colored the blueberries with Misty Moonlight and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink on a label cut with the Filled with Sweetness Dies, creating a crisp focal point that ties everything together beautifully.

I hope this sweet little card inspires you to pull out your favorite papers and create something special today! Sometimes all it takes is a pretty piece of Designer Series Paper, a coordinating bundle, and a few simple layers to create a card that's both beautiful and fun to make.

Berry Botanicals Vellum Birthday Card

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing another card featuring the Berry Botanicals Vellum, May's Product of the Month! I am having so much fun creating with this specialty vellum pack. The beautiful patterns make it easy to create stunning card backgrounds with very little effort, and this floral design immediately caught my eye. 

One of my favorite things about the Berry Botanicals Vellum is how it adds color, texture, and interest without overwhelming the card. The soft translucent finish gives projects a unique look that’s difficult to achieve with traditional designer paper.

For this card, I paired the vellum with the Scalloped Blooms and Boutique Blossoms Bundles. The scalloped circle creates the perfect focal point for the sentiment, while the flower and leaf accents coordinate beautifully with the floral vellum background. I also added a touch of ribbon and a few embellishments for extra detail.

Three Step Fold | Relaxing Waterside

 Hi friends!

 I had so much fun creating this masculine card during my Thursday at 3 PM live class featuring the Relaxing Waterside Bundle! You can watch the replay at the bottom of this post. 

This fold is called a three-step card, and isn’t it amazing?! I’m in love with all the layers and dimensions, but it still folds flat for mailing, which makes it even better!

This card was inspired by my friend Debra Harrison (see her card here). I took her design and ran with it, and I love it.

The new Peaceful Pine In Color was the perfect choice for the card base and really gives this project that relaxing lakeside feel. I paired it with the woodgrain and plaid patterns for lots of texture and cozy cabin vibes. The chair from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle completely steals the show on this card!

I stamped and die-cut all the images from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle with Basic Gray Ink for a softer look instead of traditional black. The sentiments were stamped with both Basic Gray and Secret Sea Ink, which added just the right amount of contrast without overpowering the design. The little coffee cup was colored with Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Blends and adds the sweetest pop of color!

One of my favorite things about this project is all the fun dimensions created with the three-step design. As the card opens, each section reveals more layers and detail, making it such a fantastic card for birthdays, Father’s Day, or anyone who loves the outdoors. It looks impressive, but it’s actually so much easier to create than it appears!

Happy Father's Day Dad | Relaxing Waterside

Hi friends!

This Father’s Day card is giving all the peaceful lakeside vibes, and I love it. I created this beauty during my Tuesday at 10 live class, and it turned out so amazing! I used the Relaxing Waterside Bundle along with the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper, and wow… the softness and detail in these papers just make everything come together so effortlessly.

You can watch the replay HERE on my YouTube Channel. Don’t forget to like and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my other classes.

For this card, I started with a Thick Basic White card base and layered on a piece of Shaded Spruce. I’m in love with how that thin border of color pulls out all those soft greens in the designer series paper. I added my scenic layer of DSP right on top, and just that alone already feels like a quiet morning by the water.

Next up is that gorgeous Adirondack chair. I die-cut it from Basic White cardstock, pieced it together, and popped it up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add depth. I stamped the sentiment with Basic Gray and Secret Sea ink, keeping everything soft and cohesive with the overall look.

Now for the fun details… I fussy-cut the oar and life jacket from another sheet of the designer series paper (yes, it’s worth it!) and adhered them to the chair with liquid glue. Then I tied a sweet little bow with Linen Thread and added it to the oar to fill in that negative space perfectly. To finish the front, I sprinkled a few Secret Sea embellishments across the card, just enough sparkle without taking away from that calm, relaxing scene.

And of course, I didn’t forget the inside! I added a strip of that striped designer series paper to tie everything together and give it a polished, finished look.

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5-1/2"
