It’s time for the All Star Blog Hop where we are featuring the Flowering Fields Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this beautiful suite with all that we have to share.
My window cards feature the Stamparatus Wreath Technique. And they were so much fun to make.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for making these amazing cards. I used products from the Flowering Fields Suite (the Tulip Fields and Flowering Tulips Stamp Sets, Windmill Fields Dies, and Flowering Fields Designer Paper) along with a few other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® products. 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. Sorry that it got cut off at the end.

For those of you who have been curious…Here are the before and after photos of our upstairs bathroom makeover. It’s all done, and I absolutely love it!
We are still in the midst of remodeling though. So it’s still a little chaotic and dusty here at our house. I’ll share before and after of our main level when that’s completed (end of June is our hope).

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
One of my favorite packs of designer paper that debuted in the 22-23 Annual Catalog is called Pretty Prints. It coordinates well with the Sun Prints Suite. So I paired this pretty paper with the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set from the suite (for the sentiment) and a stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to make these super easy, yet eye-catching greeting cards.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for four cards (to make the most of the designer paper)…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
(4) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
(4) Scrap for stamping and die-cutting sentiment piece
Pretty Prints Designer Paper
One of each color from the same section of the designer paper cut initially to 3-5/8” x 4-1/2” then each cut into four equal strips 1-1/8″ x 3-5/8″
Lovely Layers Vellum (blank design) or Vellum Cardstock
(4) 3-1/4″ x 5″
Notice that the pattern flows across the papers on each card?
The same designs are repeated throughout this pack of designer paper for each of the four colors. I stacked the same pattern from each of the four color in the same direction on top of each other and then cut them together to get the same 3-5/8” x 4-1/2” identical pieces. Then I cut those four rectangles down to get four strips of each color.
After cutting, I paired the designer paper strips all up so there was one from each color per card as shown below. The 3-1/4″ x 5″ vellum is the perfect base for these strips. After adhering the strips evenly onto the vellum bases, I added them to the card bases with Dimensionals – one under each of the four corners (hidden under the designer paper) for shadow and a “floating element” look.
I die-cut and stamped the sentiment circles, added them with Dimensionals, and then added the “water drop” looking pieces from the Sparkle & Shine Sequins using tiny drops of glue. If you would rather not separate out these “water drop” looking pieces, you could instead just add larger drops of glue and just wait for them to dry. Fine Tip Glue creates lovely “water drops” on its own.
I hope you got some creative inspiration from what I shared. Thanks for stopping by!

There are only a few days left of the current 2021-22 Annual Catalog. And things that are on the Last Chance List will be gone for good come May 3rd when the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog begins.
Two of those items are boxes that are perfect for transporting Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) cards. My cards stay protected in my purse. And when I want to leave a note for someone while I’m out and about, I just pull a card from the box and jot down my thank you.
Below are a few sets of these RAK cards I made with the New Horizons Designer Paper after getting a gift from fellow demonstrator, Leslie Francis. Here is her gift. I love how she recycled and used a plastic chewing gum container for her box.
Obviously I was very inspired by her gift and used the same beautiful papers. I kept the cards super simple like the ones I shared on December 17th though.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here is the first set. There are no matching envelopes since I cut these cards to fit into the Sweet Little Boxes box (which I also decorated in a simple way knowing it would be jostled around in my purse). I could make some, but envelopes aren’t really needed sometimes.
The Basic White card bases are 2-1/4″ x 6-1/2″ folded in half at 3-1/4″. The Basic Black layers are 2-1/8″ x 3-1/8″. And the designer paper layers are 2″ x 3″ which means you can get 6 from one 6″ x 6″. All of the papers decorating these cards are from just one sheet in this set. Three are from one side and three are from the design on the other side. Fun, right?
Here is the second set I made. This set of cards paired with mini envelopes is in a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ Acetate Box (one of the Last Chance products) which is decorated only with a bit of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon (one of the Last Chance products that has sold out already sad to say).
The Basic White card bases are 3″ x 6″ folded in half at 3″. The Basic Black layers are 2″ x 3″. And the designer paper layers are 1-7/8″ x 3″ which means again you can get 6 from one 6″ x 6″. All of the papers decorating these cards are also from just one sheet in this set. Five are from one side and one is from the design on the other side.
With a clear box, the RAK cards inside are the decoration seen on the outside as well.
The sentiments and images stamped in black in these first two sets are from the On the Horizon Stamp Set. But I branched out for the images/sentiments decorating this last RAK card set. For this one I used sentiments from the Happy & Heartfelt set. And the images from both the Grassy Grove and Paradise Palms sets.
I have these Basic White Note Cards/Envelopes protected within a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box (one of the Last Chance products) with no outside decoration. Because again…I intend to carry these cards with me in my purse.
The Basic White card bases are 5″ x 7″ folded in half at 3-1/2″ and they come pre-cut and scored to this size in the note card set. The Basic Black layers are 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″. And the designer paper layers are 3″ x 3″ which means you can get 4 from one 6″ x 6″. All of the papers decorating these eight cards are from just two sheets.
I hope you were inspired!
My oldest son Nick and his girlfriend Jaylene attended prom last night! Too fun!! Here are a few photos we took at the start of the evening. They had a wonderful time…fun memories made.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the New Horizons Suite!
A swap card I received by fellow demonstrator, Carmon McNamara inspired the card I created for today. My card is quite unique in that the main focal area of the card is a window sheet with evenly spaced strips of paper across it. It’s raised up a bit, and you can see the depth through the paper strips. I later found out after receiving another swap card with a similar focal area from fellow demonstrator, Theresa Gloe that this technique is called the “floating element.” And how fitting!
Earlier in the day I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions and some helpful tips for this “floating element” technique while walking you through putting together the scenery card I made with this New Horizons Collection of products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Jan-June Mini Catalog. 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 haven’t shared since Wednesday! We’ve been busy here finishing up a bathroom remodel and getting plans started for the next project, a remodel of our main level: the kitchen/dining/living area. It’s exciting, but it’s also time-consuming doing all the research and shopping. Here are peeks of the bathroom that hopefully with finish up early this next week.
As you can see, it has a nautical/beach theme. I’ve dreamed of having this for years, so I’m super excited that it’s actually happening!
I have an easel card to share with you today. I made it with products from the retiring Beauty of the Earth Suite.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Evening Evergreen Cardstock
2-7/8” x 3-7/8”
Cinnamon Cider Cardstock

Directions…
Watch the video I posted on November 17th for tips and tricks with this type of card.
Prepare all the pieces indicated in the measurements listed above. By the way, these dies are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine which is on sale this month.
Stamp sentiment on the inside of the white “mini card” (pay attention to the direction since this piece will open from the left). Adhere the pot and plant.
Stamp sentiment on the Cinnamon Cider layer leaving room for the pot and plant. Adhere the pot and plant. Add this Cinnamon Cider layer onto the Evening Evergreen layer. Then add this onto the “mini card.”
Add the diagonally cut bricks pattern designer paper to the front diagonally cut Basic White card base. Add the plant designer paper to the inside. Insert and adhere the mini card (watching so that is is centered when placed).
Then embellish with a few Champagne Rhinestone Jewels.
Thank goodness for house plants or at least the images of houseplants in this beautiful suite! They are beautiful to have around and also bring the a feeling of warmer weather which we need right now in Minnesota.
