Recently I created a few card samples with the “Love Notes” DSP for display at my recent Valentines Stamp Camp. This pack of DSP has six (6) different double-sided design prints and multiple sheets of each print. Some sheets have smaller tag sized images, some sheets are a main focal image or a basic solid print. I just love that these prints offered lots of choices for creating my cards and can be found in the January – May 2026 Mini Catalog.
For this card I chose one of the smaller 3×3 prints along with the heart print pattern. My color palette is Real Red and Basic White. The camera image is also visible on the reverse side of this print. Basically, this card is a CASE from Cindy Brumbaugh of cindyleebeedesigns.com. I chose a different patterned print, but the rest of the card is basically the same as Cindy’s card.
This card sample also uses one of the stitched square dies from the “Stylish Shape ” Dies. Honestly, I chose to keep this card simple, no embellishments, which is unusual for me. I did add a narrow strip of DSP to the lower edge of the inside panel. I do love that when you open the card, you see the camera image again, it’s a cute touch. The inside greeting is from the “Endless Love” stamp set.
I will post a few additional card samples using this awesome DSP. I had fun with these prints and the artwork made it very easy to whip up a quick and simple card!
I am sharing one last card with the “Friendly Foliage” Bundle before transitioning to some Valentine’s cards. I’ve posted two other cards using this great bundle, one HERE and the other HERE. For this card, I chose to use a landscape orientation and both of the dies on the main focal image. One die cuts the outer perimeter of the stamped image and the other cuts inside the stamped image.
We created this card at my recent Valentine’s Stamp Camp. At my stamp camps, I always try to include a project or two that is not necessarily “Valentine’s” to be utilized by my customers at a later date. For this particular card, I chose the color combo of Lost Lagoon and Basic Beige.
For a bit of texture, we used the “Gathering Leaves” Embossing Folder on a panel along the lower half of the Basic Beige layer. I wrapped “Linen Thread” twice around this panel to help hide the seam from the embossed panel. After I die cut the focal image, I used “Dimensionals” to lift this image on the Lost Lagoon layer.
To complete my card, I added a double strand “Linen Thread” bow with a “Mini Glue Dot”. This card turned out to be a very simple card with some simple details for interest. I am truly liking this “Friendly Foliage” Bundle and “Gathering Leaves” Embossing Folder which you can find in the OnLine Exclusives.
For this week’s post, I used the “Friendly Foliage Bundle” again. I am truly in love with this bundle and it is super easy to work with! My last post, HERE, used the inside die cut for the leaf spray. On today’s card, I used the die that cuts the outside of the stamped image and then added a layer of Old Olive card stock behind the die cut image.
On this card, I used Old Olive and Very Vanilla card stock. Basically, this card is just stepped up a bit from last week’s card sample. I added an embossed layer of Very Vanilla with the “Gathering Leaves” Embossing Folder. In my previous post, I suggested that this image might lend itself well to a sympathy card. The greeting is from a retired word set, but the words fit well on the smallest die shape from the “Everyday Arches” Dies. The greeting panel was placed on “Dimensionals” and I like that this die added just a bit more texture to my card.
Three (3) die cut leaf “sprigs” from the “Friendly Foliage” Dies were added for some additional detail. Then to complete this card, I added a double stranded “Old Olive Twine” bow with a “Mini Glue Dot”. Honestly, a pretty easy card with simple details.
