I like to give cards that are “sending smiles”. I love the expression in this Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and adding the gorgeous Lovely Blossoms Paper for a card with a lot of heart.
In the Lovely Arrangements Dies there is the large “dotted” background die which adds an extra element. And there is also the small “dot” background for extra texture too.
The flowers I coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and then diecut some leaves to add.
Have you seen the Lovely Arrangements Bundle or the Lovely Blossoms Paper?? It is really gorgeous.
If you would like any of these or any other products and you are in Australia then stop by my store -> HERE and grab these. You won’t be sorry. They will add such and elegance to your projects. OR contact me directly and I can help you.

Some new crafty products start tomorrow (Tues. 6th January). I have been having lots of crafty fun with these particular ones.
This is the Lovely Arrangements Bundle with the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper. The flowers are easy to colour but for this one I stamped them in the Secret Sea Ink and diecut them and layered them over the card front.
These ones will be available as Online Exclusives. There is so much more starting tomorrow too that I can’t wait to share with you including the January – April Mini Catalogue.
Sweet Sunday with this fun Patchwork card idea. This one is created by Stampin’ Up! Artists with the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper. You could try with any pretty paper though.
Here’s How:
You would need to cut numerous white squares. Diecutting them with one of the small squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies give you that “stitched edge” look. For a card like this you would need 16 squares. Then diecut some squares with your patterned paper. Cut the squares diagonally. Then you can position the white squares over your card mat and place the cut paper squares in position to create the patchwork look. This card would work best with a Square style card.
Try this idea out for a card. And I would love to see it too if you like.
This paper is the Product of the Month that has been out this month. There is a new exclusive product each month.
You can purchase this True Blue Florals Paper for $9 when your order reaches $125. (AUD)

Lots of ink and card flying this year. There has been lots of creating. I picked out some of my favourites from 2025 to share with you. It was hard to pick out just a small number. I have had lots of fun.
So let’s look. I would love to hear what your favourite is. Drop it in the comments.
If you want a closer look and can’t see them if you do a search on my blog let me know and I can direct you to the post or to the video.
I hope you enjoyed the look back over the past year.
I’m excited going in to 2026 for more creative fun. What will we create this year … 🙂 I hope you can follow along to see. Have fun in your creating in this coming year.
Only days out to Christmas but maybe you still need some inspiration for your Christmas Tags. These could be added straight to a Card Front too for Cards if you prefer.
These tags we made at our last Christmas Tag Class recently.
I have used a number of different products on these tags. You could use the same or substitute with what you have.
These tags used: the Ornamental Christmas Bundle. The Festive Friends Bundle. Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. The Patterned Tags Dies.
Here are some more Tag ideas that I have created from past years.
If you are still madly creating for Christmas I hope that you get it completed soon. And if it doesn’t get done don’t stress. All will be Ok.
I was going to film a video to show you how to make this card. But here we are a week out from Christmas…. So I thought I would tell you about it. It’s easy to follow along really I think.
This is the card.
The trees were given a light watercolour. Ink the “pine” type tree with the Classic Ink. I used Garden Green and then with a Water Painter lightly wipe over the branches spreading outward to wash out the colour. You only need a very light touch.
For the other tree I inked this up in Granny Apple Green and used the Water Painter to spread the ink. Start from the outside line and brush inwards. You will need to pick up more ink from the ink pad to spread enough ink but that’s ok. Add as much as you like.
Let the trees dry before you diecut. I used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle but if you don’t have that then try it with other tree stamps you have. This technique could work too with flowers or other images you want to colour. Give it a try.
To finish the card I stamped the sentiment on white card and diecut with one of the larger Arch dies in the Everyday Arches Set. Before I diecut the arch I added a strip of the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper near the bottom.
Now to go and finish the Christmas shopping. I am so behind. Anyone else like that??
Happy Christmas creating. I hope you’re more organised that I am.

Wednesday’s WOW! #171 – Make a quick, simple card to impress your friends.
Do you want a card that’s quick to make yet still want to WOW! your receiver?? Try this idea.
Trim off 2.5cm or 1″ from the Right Hand Side of your card front. Add some gorgeous paper and elements to the front. Inside add a strip of patterned paper that co-ordinates with the front paper that is just slightly smaller than the section. Add some white card so there is a space to write on. This really doesn’t take much more time that creating a full card.
This is great timing if you still have some Christmas cards to make. You can try this for any occasion though.
On this card I used the Stampin’ Up! Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. The Black, White and Gold makes any cards elegant. I also used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle.
Hope your Christmas creating is coming along well. We are nearly at the finish line.
Happy Christmas Creating,
Jenny
