Stack and Shuffle Card Technique

This card layout was a CASE from Brian King in the U.S. I was really drawn to making this based on the pretty colours in the Garden Poetry patterned paper. You cut 4 of the patterns to 3.75 inches by 5 inches. Stack them and cut all at the same time in 3 places to end up with 4 generous sized chunks. I did a little measuring to get the 4 pieces. Then stack and shuffle them to get one of each pattern on a piece of Basic White measuring 3.75 inches by 5 inches. Matte as many times as you like onto the cardbase and embellish. Each card is a little different but they all work beautifully together. The butterflies from All Aflutter are my new favourite!

May 2026 Monthly Class Project

We'll be making this card at my May Monthly Card Class - both in person and kit-to-go options. The Toadstools are so perfect for this time of year and the greetings from Banner Greetings are ideal for any age. I decided to add a small embossed layer with the ladybug picnic folder which I added ink to with a blending brush for added interest. This class features easy to make up cards for beginner to seasoned card makers. Check out the kit to go option

Hello Sunshine!

Sending Thinking of you card is a lovely way to stay in touch with family, friends, and customers if you have a business. I send out about 300 a year so I'm always making multiples to spread the joy. This one came together quickly with some linen thread as another layer between the stamped leaves and the greeting. Nice neutral colours for anyone and any occasion. Enjoy!

Paradise Garden Simple and Elegant Card

Making simple cards isn't always a thing we do...often it's bigger - better - more! So it was nice to step back and make more of a clean and simple card. On the white layer, I placed a few little score lines for attention and where they meet I covered with this flower from the Paradise Garden bundle stamped in Poppy Parade. The greeting and the die for it are also from the same bundle. Then I sprinkled 3 Iridescent Pearls that were coloured with Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends to tie it all together with the matte and the card base. Sweet and uncomplicated! What do you think?
