Have you checked out the new Two Tone card stock? We have it in ALL our colors! So many great reasons to add it to your collection:
-light weight -white core
For this card I showed off the inner white core in two ways. First I sanded the images after I embossed them. This allowed the white to show through. I also added a piece on the side that featured the darker tone and I tore it to expose the white core. You can check out a video of how I created it on Facebook or Instagram! ![]()
Here's a chance to see some of the colors side by side. I love the contrast of the lighter and darker sides. Also, don't miss this fun stamp set! I love the sayings. ![]()
What will you make with two tone card stock?

I love the new Sunflower 3-D embossing folder! So many fun ways to use it but I did a lot of what I call the black ice technique. The folder is large so you can do a full 1/2 sheet of paper at once.
These were both made with one piece that I embossed and colored and then cut in half. You can check out how I created them on Facebook or Instagram.
I loved adding the checked ribbon to this one and really thought the black card stock made it pop! And I don't know about you but I seem to need SO many birthday cards. I guess it's a great thing I have so many people to celebrate.
Here's another look at the same piece but on yellow. Which do you like better?
I LOVE how it looks in just black and white. Wow! You can really see the details in the embossed images.
Two shades of yellow--is there a more perfect color for sunflowers?
Do not sleep on this folder. It is so much fun to use.
This new kit is amazing. Because the cards are printed on both sides I couldn't resist creating alternatives with it. My method is always to start by cutting the card bases into two 4 x 5. 25 pieces. Don't throw away the little strips that are left!
By cutting six of the nine bases I created 12 cards--doubling the amount I got! All I added was card stock for bases and some scraps for sentiments.
For this one I actually cut one of the flower pieces in half again and used the small piece on a larger piece.
This one uses another of the quarter piece.
Remember how I said to not get rid of the scraps? Here's why! Use them to create a fun background.
I did break from my usual cutting on this one. I only cut it on one side to make it 4 x 5.5 so it went the full top to bottom on the card.
Do you have a favorite? Make sure you go get your own kit!

I could not stop creating with the Coneflower Celebrations bundle. I loved that we picked it for our Creative Collab Challenge Spotlight.
This bold card was my project for the week. I combined Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo with classic black and white. I love how it turned out.
These next two were my weekly "this or that" social media post and gave me some Andy Warhol vibes.
Yellow always brings a smile to my face.
I used Pecan Pie ink on Crumb Cake paper for this card.

Which project with the Coneflower Celebrations is your favorite?
I love embossed images and words but have to admit I'm too lazy to create it sometimes. Here is where the new Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper is a miracle. It's already embossed! You get to add color any way you want and enjoy the amazing looks.
Check out my Facebook or Instagram reels to see how I added the ink,
Don't overlook the fun ephemera word packs too. It makes it so easy to add a sentiment!
Have you tried this fun paper?
I am in love with the Coneflower Celebration bundle! I know we all probably think we can't possibly need another flower set but this one is amazing! I'm pretty sure I always say that but wait until you see what I've created.
For this first card I stamped directly on my Designer Series Paper. I love the soft color of Peral Pink and the new scalloped ribbon is so nice.
I love a good monochromatic card. Especially one in blue! My favorite color. This card actually came about because I glued the pieces upside down on the first card I was trying to make. Shake my head! So I cut the front off and played around with it. I decided to cut it in half and only use one piece. The "thank you" is from a retired set. The piece was laying on my desk and I thought it worked perfectly! The original blue pieces were each 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 mounted on white card stock. ![]() Stampin' Up! is offering it's first Virtual Album Retreat and I am so excited! I haven't done much scrapbooking since Covid and I'm hoping this gets me back into it. I love that it's all pre cut and ready to be assembled. Here's a look at all that is included. All packaged and ready to create with! ![]() You can go here to sign up. Purchase through me and I'll send you a swag bag to make it even better!
The May 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit was fabulous. I loved the colors and the nature scenes. As usual, I cut up the bases which let me double the number of cards I could make. I created tons of thank you, birthday and masculine cards. The bases are so pretty with great muted colors and flowing designs. Masculine birthday cards are harder for me because I always go for flowers and sparkly stuff! This kit was great for creating more neutral cards. For this card I cut one of the card fronts to 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and then cut the panel into three 1 1/4 pieces. For the next two I couldn't decide If I liked the white base or the crumb cake base better. Remember to use your scraps! I save the pieces I cut off the bases and then create a striped background with them.
