Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Kay Wirrer

 This week, I am happy to share (with Kay's permission) the lovely card that she sent to me. It is a fancy fold that she created when she participated in a Mystery Stamping.

Here is the card:

Here is the card folded up, it fits perfectly in our A2 Envelopes.

And here is the card when it is opened up. The card comes closed up and you just pull on the 2 little tabs to open it into this beautiful card. This is coming to you from Whispers in Ink.

Here are the cutting and scoring directions.

Now sit back and watch the video to see how the card is made.

Here is the video link: 2/20 - February 2026 Mystery Card Night, join me for a fun fold!   

Due to copywrite laws, I can only post the link, but just click on the above link to go to You Tube to watch the video.

What a fun fold this is and I hope that if you make it, you have a great time!

Thanks for joining me today, have a great weekend.

Cindy

Facebook Live Replay - Beautiful Motifs Dies

 This week, I wanted to play with the dies that go with the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The Beautiful Motifs Dies include two decorative motif designs and three greenery shapes. Turn the motifs into corner details on your cards or use them as a key layering element.

Here is the card that I made:

I love the simplicity of this card and just the right amount of "Wow," who says that you have to color leaves, just get those blending brushes out.

Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Beautiful Motifs (Last Chance List #165198)

INK: Shy Shamrock

PAPER: Shy Shamrock Base, Basic Black, Basic White, Mixed Up Patterns DSp

ACCESSORIES: Beautiful Motifs Dies (Last Chance List #165205), Shy Shamrock Resin Dots, Dimensionals, Blending Brush

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Shy Shamrock Base 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" Score 4 1/4"
• Basic Black 2 1/4" x 4 1/4"
• White 2 1/8" x 4"
• White Inside 3 3/4" x 5"
• Mixed Up Patterns Layer 4" x 5 1/4"

Sometimes the simplest card makes the best card. Now sit back and enjoy the video.

I hope that you enjoyed this week's card, come back next week for a sneak peak at the new catalog that is coming out from Stampin' Up! on May 5th. Or tune into my Facebook page for the live version. You can find me by doing a search of Cindy's Stamping Studio.

It's Almost Graduation Time

 I started working on Graduation Cards, what have you made?

This is one that I made this year using the Reason to Celebrate stamp set and the now retired Cap & Gown stamp sets from Stampin' Up! What I really liked about this card is that the card can be swapped out and use the graduation colors.

Here is a card that I made in 2025, it's a classic.

I hope that you enjoyed the cards today, never to late to being thinking about graduation.

Take care,

Cindy
