Two Creative Ways to Use One Stamp Set—One for the Books! Amore Laurafadora
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday Please join me in welcoming back special guest Laura Bassen to showcase this darling newly release stamp and die set embracing the literary trend “One for the Books“! She used our Tiny Florals embossing folder with our Buttercream cardstock for that pretty subtle pop behind the birthday card, and added a little pop of sparkle on both pieces using our Rainbow Splash Gem Stickers! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!

Vintage Floral Layered Card showcasing our May 2025 Card Kit: Beautiful and Curious
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Heather Hoffman to show off a new (and gorgeous) card idea featuring our May 2025 card kit, Beautiful and Curious! Read on and enjoy!
Hello! I love to layer up papers on cards – often pattern papers. But sometimes it’s fun to layer up more for texture, but still in more neutral colors. It gives so much elegance to a card!
I started off this card by stamping in black and heat embossing with clear that lovely floral image from the stamp set in the May kit on some white cardstock. I carefully brushed in some color using 3 distress crayons included in my kit – Crushed Olive, Victorian Velvet, and Abandoned Coral. Since I didn’t use watercolor paper, I was careful to not add much water at all.
Next, I trimmed that panel down, and roughed up the edges a bit with my paper distresser – the first step in adding texture! I matted that with a layer of the Ice vellum in the kit, then added a tiny bow with the twine in the kit, looped into a simple bow, and attached with my Tiny Attacher in a criss cross design. I used the free BONUS embossing folder on some of the ivory cardstock, trimmed it down, and cut a diagonal strip out of the center before adhering it behind the other layers.
Next up – I chose a sentiment, trimmed it down, and matted it with a bit of black cardstock to make it pop. Added that over my layers on a diagonal with foam adhesive, and trimmed off the extra. Finally, attached this entire panel with thin foam onto some trimmed down pattern paper from the kit, and then onto a white cardbase.
Finished off with just a few Dazzling Gems in gold for a bit of sparkle and shine! What is your favorite way to add texture and layers?
