Creative Thursday - Charming Duck Pond Bundle

Hey friends—happy Thursday! Today I have three adorable projects to share with you featuring the Charming Duck Pond Bundle and the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper—these are on the Last Chance list, so if they're on your Wishlist, now's the time to grab them! I also used the *Stylish Shapes Dies and **Nested Essentials Dies to die-cut the circles and banners for these projects.

If you've never joined me for Creative Thursday, I go live every Thursday at 2 PM Central on my Stamped in Ink Facebook page and YouTube Channel—I'd love to have you join in sometime!

And, if you missed the live, no worries—you can watch the replay HERE!

For the first card, I created tons of texture and depth just by layering cardstock and designer paper—it’s such an easy way to add interest! I scattered a few of the die-cut lily flowers from the bundle across the stacked circles, then added a pop of contrast with cattails cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock. This card came together so simply, but the finished look is stunning—clean, fresh, and full of charm!

MEASUREMENTS:

Thick White CS Base: 4-1/4" x 11-1/2" scored at 5-1/2"

Pretty Peacock CS layer: 3-3/4" X 5"

Lily Pond Lane DSP layer: 3-1/2" x 4-1/2"

*Thick White CS Circle layer: 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"

Basic White CS inside layer: 3-1/2" x 5"

For the next card, I had so much fun bringing this adorable little duck to life with Stampin’ Blends! I used Gray Granite for a soft, sweet base, added a pop of Granny Apple Green, a splash of Peach Pie, and just a hint of Pretty in Pink for those perfect finishing touches. The sentiment really stands out in bold Pretty Peacock ink—such a great contrast against the softer colors!

MEASUREMENTS:

Thick White CS Base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"

The final card was a super simple fun fold— but it really packs a punch! with just a few layers of cardstock and designer paper, a bold sentiment, and a sprinkle of embellishments, we turned a basic layout into a total wow moment. It's one of those cards that looks impressive but comes together in no time!

Charming Duck Pond - Coffee & Card Class

Hello friends! Happy Monday! Today, I've got a super cute project to share with you today using the Charming Duck Pond Bundle—and trust me, it's a fun one. We made this card during this morning's Coffee & Card Class, and I'm loving how it turned out. This bundle has been so much fun to play with, and I'm really excited for you to see the next set of projects we'll be making on Thursday. Be sure to Tune in at 2:00PM CT!

If you've never joined me for Coffee & Card Class, I go live every Monday at 10:00AM CT on both my Facebook and YouTube Channel. It' a great way to kick off the week with a little creativity—I'd love to have you join in.

You’ll find the basic measurements and a link to the video replay at the bottom of this post, so you can recreate this card at your own pace.

Now, let’s talk about today’s card. It’s full of layers and details, and that Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper is just packed with springtime charm. I used one of the circle dies from the bundle to cut a window and framed it right over that adorable DSP.

The cattails were stamped in Granny Apple Green and Early Espresso, then die-cut and layered onto the circle. I also added some die-cut cattails and lily pads from Granny Apple Green cardstock to give it more dimension.

To create those sweet pink lilies, I used a blending brush and Pretty in Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, then die-cut the flowers and scattered them across the scene. The frog and duck were stamped in Memento Black and colored with Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends. They look so cute perched on the lily pads!

To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray on a strip of Pretty in Pink cardstock, tied a sweet bow, and added some shimmer gems for that extra sparkle.

And don’t forget the inside! I added a strip of DSP and a panel of Basic White cardstock to give the inside a nice, finished touch.

MEASUREMENTS:

Balmy Blue CS Base: 4-1/4" x 11" scored and folded at 5-1/2"

Lily Pond Lane DSP Layer: 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" (cut image to center)
