Berry Botanicals Vellum Birthday Card

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing another card featuring the Berry Botanicals Vellum, May's Product of the Month! I am having so much fun creating with this specialty vellum pack. The beautiful patterns make it easy to create stunning card backgrounds with very little effort, and this floral design immediately caught my eye. 

One of my favorite things about the Berry Botanicals Vellum is how it adds color, texture, and interest without overwhelming the card. The soft translucent finish gives projects a unique look that’s difficult to achieve with traditional designer paper.

For this card, I paired the vellum with the Scalloped Blooms and Boutique Blossoms Bundles. The scalloped circle creates the perfect focal point for the sentiment, while the flower and leaf accents coordinate beautifully with the floral vellum background. I also added a touch of ribbon and a few embellishments for extra detail.

If you’d like to create this card yourself, you have two ways to get the tutorial. You can purchase the PDF tutorial through my PDF Store, or you can earn it FREE with a $75 order in my online store now through May 31.

Painted Illusions Fun-Fold

 Hi friend!

Today I am sharing the second card we created during Thursday’s live class. I think this is the easiest fun fold ever!

If you couldn’t join me live, you can always watch the replay here!

This card features February’s Product of the Month, Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper. The color combination in this paper is so pretty, and the designs are perfect for any occasion.

For this card, I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered a piece of the Painted Illusions DSP inside and onto the right flap.

 I cut two pieces of Pretty Peacock cardstock to use as mats for the Basic White cardstock on the inside and outside of the card.

I used the January Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings, to stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. Then I popped the sentiment panel to the card front layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. This card is so easy to duplicate. I hope you give it a try.

Measurements & Details:

Pretty Peacock card base: 4-1/4" " x 8-1/4"", scored at 2-3/4"

Painted Illusions and Rainbows

Hi friends! 

Today I’m sharing one of the cards we created during this Thursday’s live card class. It was such a fun project to make together.  If you couldn’t join me live, you can always watch the replay here!

This card features February’s Product of the Month, Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper. Oooh my goodness... the colors and patterns in this paper are so beautiful. They work for so many different occasions, and I love how bold and artistic they feel.

For this card, I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered a piece of the Painted Illusions DSP right on the front. That paper really does most of the work for you.

Next, I took a piece of Basic White cardstock and used the Sunshine Vibes Dies to create the rainbow cut-out. I absolutely love how the colors from the DSP peek through the rainbow opening. It’s such a simple detail, but it makes the whole card feel special.

For the sentiment, I used January’s Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings, and stamped it in Secret Sea ink just below the rainbow. A few Stampin’ Dimensionals gave the panel a little lift and finished it off perfectly.

This card reminds me of God’s promise in the rainbow, and every time I see it, I think of Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” There’s something so encouraging about combining creativity and faith. It’s just a sweet reminder that we’re never creating (or living) alone.

Measurements & Details:

Pretty Peacock card base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Painted Illusions DSP: 4” x 5-1/4”

Basic White cardstock (die-cut rainbow):3-3/4” x 5”

Basic White cardstock (inside layer):3-3/4” x 5”

If you’d like to recreate this card, the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper can be added to any $75 order for just $5. And today is the last day for FREE Shipping, which makes it an even better time to grab your favorites.
