Artisan Sketched Garden Meets a Touch of Shimmer
One of my favorite things about the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper is its versatility. The beautiful black-and-white sketched designs create the perfect canvas for adding just a hint of color, and that’s exactly what I did with today’s Facebook Live cards. Instead of fully coloring every image, I reached for the new Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brushes to softly highlight the florals and foliage.
The first card features a gorgeous floral background paired with a classic urn filled with greenery, layered over a stitched circle and finished with a sweet Crisp Cantaloupe bow. I love how the pops of peachy color bring the flowers to life while the Peaceful Pine leaves add just enough contrast.
For the second card, I switched things up with a fun fold design that adds an unexpected interactive element. The bold striped pattern from the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper makes a striking first impression, while a small white panel and a beautifully colored floral cluster create an elegant focal point. Untie the Crisp Cantaloupe ribbon, and the front flap opens to reveal a hidden sentiment inside. The overlapping panel gives the card extra dimension and makes it just as enjoyable to open as it is to receive. Finished with a few coordinating gems, this fun fold is a wonderful way to turn beautiful Designer Series Paper into something truly memorable.

Inked Floret Cards with Soft, Elegant Layers
This week’s Facebook Live was all about creating beautiful floral cards with just a few coordinating supplies. The Inked Floret stamp set paired with the Botanical Expressions sentiments creates cards that are elegant, timeless, and surprisingly easy to make.
Whether you love bold monochromatic florals or soft, subtle backgrounds, these two cards show how versatile the Inked Floret stamp set can be. If you missed the Facebook Live, be sure to catch the replay for all the tips, techniques, and step-by-step instructions. I’d love to know which card is your favorite, the bold blue blooms or the soft blush floral!
The first card takes a softer approach with Barely Blush. The floral image is stamped tone-on-tone to create a delicate background that lets the sentiment shine. A small piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Ribbon tucked beneath the greeting and a coordinating In Color Dot add a simple pop of color without overwhelming the design. It’s a wonderful example of how subtle stamping can create an elegant card in minutes.
For the second card, I featured Hydrangea Hue for a fresh monochromatic design. By stamping the floral image directly onto the card front and adding die-cut blossoms popped up with dimensionals, the card instantly gains depth and interest. A strip of the 2026-2028 Gingham Designer Series Paper, a touch of Hydrangea Hue Ribbon, and a few 2026-2028 In Color Dots finish the card with just the right amount of detail. The result is a heartfelt thank you card that’s both clean and eye-catching.

Flowers with the Simply Leaves Bundle? YES!!
Today’s Facebook Live was all about the beautiful new Simply Leaves Bundle from Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives! This bundle is such a fun combination of soft, organic leaf images – but it’s not just for leaves! I turned the leaves into a flower as the focal point! This makes this bundle super versatile and gives it year round appeal! I paired the bundle with the sweet new gingham patterns and a fresh color palette of Peaceful Pine, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Basic White for a light and cheerful look.

The second card shows just how versatile this bundle can be by letting the beautiful wer take center stage with a clean and elegant design. It’s easy to create this flower because the petals are punched with the Simply Leaves punch! Quick, and easy peasy!
