There are so many new products that just became available. So of course I’ve been creating LOTS of cards and projects for upcoming team recognitions, demonstrator events, swaps, birthdays, club member gifts, etc. I had to make up for the time I had to take off to recover from my surgery, so my focus these past several days was on making quite a few beautiful but simple cards using distinktive (or similar) stamp images. And today I’d like to share with you the approach I took so you can make similar beautiful greeting cards without a lot of effort or expensive tools.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating three different cards where I used this same approach which all feature newer products: the Flowing Flowers, Gentle Waves, On the Horizons, and Island Vibes stamp sets, and the Faux Sea Glass Shapes, Iridescent Rhinestones, Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Rachel, these are gorgeous cards. I love all of them using these new products. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the beautiful Thank You card using the Flowing Flowers. I need to ink these stamps soon. Enjoy your day!
One of my MOST favorite sets right now. Thanks Hilda!
Rachel I love your cards. Our tastes seem to be about the same. I think the simple cards are elegant and beautiful. Thanks for the videos I watch each one. I happen to have a different
demonstrator but love your work. Thanks again.
Thanks for your sweet words, Ruth. I appreciate your kindness.
