Hey there friends, there's a new stamp set that will be released March 2, 2021 and it's a beauty - Butterfly Brilliance is the name of it.  It comes as a suite (Butterfly Bouquet) with coordinating dies and beautiful paper - yum!

I just started creating with it, and did some heat embossing with it today.

The white embossing is pretty on the black card stock.  I added some Bermuda Bay to the large butterfly with Stampin' Blends, but it would be pretty left as just white.

This card is in the same, but the embossed butterfly is colored in Melon Mambo.  I think I would like the white dotted tulle ribbon with it better than the Petal Pink I used, but for now I left the Petal Pink on it.

And here's the video tutorial:

When I find a z-fold card that's not only beautiful, but easy to make, it makes me soooo happy!  This is a card recipe you can use over and over with different designer series paper and colors.  But today, I'm using Stampin' Blends with True Love DSP to make this stunning card.  This card recipe is from Missy Shipman of Glad Heart Stampers and Jackie Bolhuis from Klompenstampers.  This will be a go-to card design that you can use over and over. Here are a few cards:

I have used Stampin' Blends markers to color the True Love designer series paper.  In my video tutorial at the bottom of the page, I show you how I use the light and dark blends in each color set.

I just love the Sweet Strawberry stamp set!  It is a little taste of early summer for me in the middle of February, if you know what I mean. The images are beautiful and the sentiments and font are lovely. This stamp set comes with a coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch, and there is beautiful coordinating DSP in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

Here's the fun fold card for today's video:

Isn't the paper beautiful?  

Here's what's under the front flap:

and finally the inside:

By the way, the berries on this inside piece of DSP can be punched out with the strawberry builder punch (awesome!!) The Designer Series Paper comes with the Berry Blessing Stamp set.  You can get both FREE with a $100.00 order.
