The Wild & Sweet Stamp Set is Sweet
The Wild & Sweet stamp set is indeed a sweet set! It had me at the koala bear, and pandas are popular, but … a raccoon? They seem to have a reputation as pesky critters, although I’ve never personally had any run-ins with them. So, unless you have a friend named Rocky, what are you going to do with a raccoon card? And then I colored one for a sample card, and he has such a sweet face!
I’ve made several cards with this new stamp set, and I’ve used Stampin’ Blends, Watercolor Pencils, and watercolor with inks. They all work great, so if you like to color, you may need the Wild & Sweet stamp set.

New In Colors with Butterfly Brilliance
Here’s another card to show off the new In Colors, this time with one of my favorites, the Butterfly Brilliance stamp and the Brilliant Wings dies. Because I wanted to use my new Stampin’ Blends in the 2022-2024 In Colors, the butterflies seemed like a good way to use them all at once.

Create a Vintage Style Card With Embossing Folders
Even though I make cards in all kinds of styles (one of the things I love about rubber stamping) vintage style cards are my favorites. Today I want to show you a way to create a vintage style background using embossing folders.
First, let me show you my finished card.
For this background, I used the beautiful Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder with Very Vanilla card stock. This technique works best with bolder embossing and with the 3D folders.

Design Inspiration for this Beautiful World Card
Do you ever start creating with an idea, and the end result is nothing like that idea? That’s the joy and frustration of design inspiration, and it’s the origin of this card. I wanted to make a card using the two globes in the Beautiful World stamp set. Looking through Pinterest, I saw a graphic of two old world maps, side by side. That was my starting point, and I would give my card an old world look.

Make an Easy Triple Panel Fun Fold Card
This is a really simple fun fold card. I’m sure it has a name, but I have no idea what it is, so I am calling it a Triple Panel Card because the card front has three panels.
