I shared two cards recently using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set images in unique and creative ways. The “flower on a stump easel card” I shared on March 10th. And the “bunny & carrots card” I shared on March 12. I knew I wanted to share one of them for today’s pre-recorded Wednesday Online Paper Crafting Class (I’m in Houston at a Stampin’ Up!® convention right now), but I couldn’t decide between the two cards. So I decided to share both in the video and then posts previews, measurements, and supply lists beforehand.
Either one of these is much easier to share directions, tips and tricks in video format. So I’m glad I did it this way. 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). Then visit my March 10th and March 12th posts to scroll through the close-up photos, access the measurements & supply lists, and even download the reference PDF sheets.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had fun and got some creative inspiration from what I shared.

Did you know that you can create bunnies and carrots with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch? I added in a sentiment from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set and the large egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies to get this sweet bunny rabbit card. Change out the sentiment to get a baby card, an Easter card, a happy Spring card, and more.
I made quite a few of these.
And I brought 80 of them with me to Houston today.
I’ll be at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, our big yearly convention for the next several days. These cards will be my swap cards. And of course I had to create something that featured my Layering Leaves Stamp Set in a fun and creative way, right? Now my hope is that this set will remain in the Annual Catalog for another year. I’ll find out in a couple days when the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog is revealed to all of us demonstrators attending.
I don’t have directions for you today, but tomorrow you’ll be able to access my how-to video. Make sure you are subscribed to my blog and/or my YouTube channel so you get notifications for when I share and post.

I’ve been dying to share this particular project with you ever since sharing my guacamole cards a year ago. (Forgive me for taking SO long.) I finally took time this past week to create with my adapted pattern. And now I’d like to present to you two more Hexagon Platform Pop-Up cards! I hope you can join me this week for this 2-part series sharing two different versions of this impressive fun fold card…one with Cutest Cows Bundle and one with the Submarine Life Bundle… new bundles that debuted in the Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions along with some fun paper crafting tips and tricks for creating the initial parts of these adorable Hexagon Platform Pop-Up Cards with the Cutest Cows Stamp Set, the coordinating Cutest Cows Builder Punch, the Submarine Life Stamp Set Set, the coordinating Submarine Life Builder Punch, and other coordinating product. 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).
Then be sure to catch Part 2 on Feb. 21st to see each of these cards fully come together.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Remember to return next week when I share how to assemble and complete each of these.

I made another version of Wednesday’s coffee cup/coffee beans card AND another version of my Bird’s Eye View Birthday Card that I shared back on June 12th. Below I’ve included a few tips and pointers for these other versions, but you can find the main details for these cards on the two original posts.
Products I used… See below each card for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I actually had this second version of the coffee card ready to share on Wednesday… but forgot! It’s a side view instead of an aerial view of the cup.
In fact my supply lists that day originally included the two extra punches needed for this version. And when I finished my Live video I slapped my forehead and sighed. And then I got right to work updating the supply lists on my videos (YouTube & Facebook), my PDF, and my blog post. My apologies to you if you got the first supply list and were confused by the Ladybug Builder Punch and Cloud Punch.
Measurementsfor this version…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
4” x 5-1/4”
Scraps for stamping and punching leaves and coffee beans
Early Espresso Cardstock
3/4″ x 4″
2″ circle
Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
½” x 1”
2″ x 4″ for punching side-facing cup
2-3/8″ circle
Scrap for punching handle
The only thing different from the card I shared on Wednesday is the cup on the front that is side-facing. To make this use the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and punch from the 2″ tall Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. This will give you a flat top and bottom. For the handle punch the narrowest part of the Cloud Punch about 3/4″ into the edge of a scrap of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. Then insert the abdomen of the Ladybug Builder Punch so it surrounds the punched out area from the Cloud Punch and punch to form the cup handle. Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto the Early Espresso strip. Punch it out with the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. Assemble the cup as shown and add to the card front with Dimensionals.
(On the inside is the same size aerial view cup as my original card.)
So now the question… Which of the cards do you prefer: the one with the side view I shared today or the one with the aerial view I shared on Wednesday? I’m leaning towards the side view. (Here they are side by side.)
Here is the 2nd version of my Bird’s Eye View Birthday Card that I shared back on June 12th
I needed more birthday cards. And I needed them quickly. So instead of creating something completely new, I just made more of a card I already loved. I ran out of the designer paper I used on the first version though, so I changed that out which lead to me changing the card base color, balloon color, and embellishment color. The directions from the June 12th card remain the same though.
Measurementsfor this version…
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 6-5/8″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
4” x 5-1/2”
1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″
White Center 12×12 Specialty Paper (Lemon Lime Twist)
1″ x 5-1/5″
Masterfully Made Designer Paper
2” x 5-1/2”
I used Lost Lagoon Blends Markers to color the balloon and a Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker to color the beak. The Pretty Peacock Sequins are the embellishment on the front.
Here is my new stack of birthday cards.
You know I’m gonna ask… Which version of the card do you prefer: the one with the Lemon Lime Twist colored base I shared today or the one with the Azure Afternoon colored base I shared on June 12th? Though I DO love greens, I’m thinking that I’m still leaning towards the blue version. (Here they are side by side.)
Have a great weekend! And thanks for checking out what I had to share today.

On June 9th I shared a card that I had made with the Coffee With Friends & Layering Leaves Stamp Sets. It was wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to share how to turn one of the leaves images into coffee beans, but I wasn’t at the top of my game since at that time I was still recovering from COVID.
I don’t dislike the card, or I wouldn’t have shared it. In fact I received quite a few compliments (thank you). But it was a little more earthy and masculine than I wanted it to be. So soon after I created a brighter version of the coffee beans card – one that was more in line with what I had wanted to show you on June 9th.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card which features a few fun techniques (heat embossing, watercoloring, punch art, using Daubers and Blends Markers,…). 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’m back! And today’s blog post is extra special because it’s a “blog hop” post focused on fun ways to create with my million sales achiever stamp set, Layering Leaves! After seeing what I have to share and reading though my post, click on another demonstrator’s name in the list below to see what they have created. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see links and follow the hop.) Then continue to click on other names to hop from blog to blog and to gather lots of reasons to love this set.
I saw coffee beans in one of the leaves images. And this is the card I created to show that off. (Hopefully you can see the coffee cup?)
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I made the coffee beans by first inking up the solid leaves image in Pecan Pie. Then I added Early Espresso ink with a Dauber before stamping it onto the Basic White cardstock. After I punched out the image, I trimmed out each of the beans.
Then I just glued down the individual beans so they formed piles along the edges of the Crumb Cake Cardstock.
If you look closely you can see this card has a Book Binding fold. Everything to the left of the front score line is sealed down. Everything to the right opens up. (Just in case something seems a little off, this photo below actually pairs up with the second version of the card shown further down.)
Before I sealed that left part, I added two 5″ strands of trim and secured it all with Tear & Tape Adhesive as shown.
And then I secured the trim from the top with tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue placed strategically under certain areas.
One other detail on this card is the aerial view of the coffee cup. (Obviously this coffee has a bit of cream added.) The Early Espresso cup was punched with the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch, and the Pecan Pie coffee was punched with the 2″ Circle Punch. I heat embossed the sentiment with VersaMark Ink and White Embossing Powder. And then I carefully drew along the outer edge of the coffee with the Wink of Stella pen to give it a wet look. I attached the 1″ x 1/2″ “handle” underneath on the right. And then I added it to the middle of the card with Dimensionals.
Measurements…

If you want a “coffee specific” sentiment for this card, consider pairing it with Sandi Rule’s million sales achiever stamp set, Coffee With Friends.
Layering Leaves is a great all-occasion stamp set. There are lots of basic sentiments and lots of fun leaves (that match a punch!).
The images that can be pretty but can also be masculine. They can be playful and youthful or elegant and charming depending on how you ink and color them. And as you may have seen with the teaser graphic for my Class To Go, you can think outside the box and turn those leaves to candle flames.. and coffee beans as you saw today! It’s a stamp set that can be the “star of the show.” Or it can supplement. Grab it when you need a basic sentiment OR when you just want to throw a few leaves onto your card or scrapbook page. If you love to create with kits, this may even become your “go to” set for designing alternate projects. (It was designed with kits in mind.) I could tell you even more reasons to love this set. But it’s time for me to sign off so you can visit another post in our hop.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared!
