Happy Sunday! This week I have been sharing the Charming Sentiments bundle, but today I have a bonus card for you. I made an offset triple layer technique card using the Nature’s Harvest stamp set. Note: The cardstock colors are retired, but it can easily be done in other colors.
My offset triple layer card starts with a Bumblebee card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. The Hive Embossing Folder was used to dry emboss the front layer of the card base. Next, I cut my Very Vanilla CS layers – 5″ x 1-3/4″, 3-3/34″ x 2-1/2″ and 2″ x 2″. I arranged these and adhered them together with TEMPORARY adhesive. The flowers were then stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. Cajun Craze ink was used for the sentiment.
Stampin’ Tip: The splatter was make using a Stampin Write marker. I used the brush tip end and flicked it against the inside of the cap, towards the card.
Then I cut the Cinnamon Cider CS – 5-1/4″ x 2″, 4″ x 2-3/4″ and 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″. I pulled the 3 Very Vanilla pieces apart and adhered the appropriate Cinnamon Cider matte behind each of and adhered them together. Finally, I adhered them to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. This makes the triple offset layer technique. Isn’t it fun?!?
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. Using Cajun Craze ink and the Nature’s Harvest stamp set, I stamped a little something in the lower left and upper right corner.

Hi, Stampers. While I am away at our very first Royal Retreat, I’m sharing an Amazing Thanks Triple Stamp Technique – in none other than Polished Pink!
I started my triple stamp card with a Polished Pink card base – Polished Pink CS – 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Then I cut two addition layers in Polished Pink CS – 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and 3-1/2″ x 2-1/4″. I also cut 3 pieces of Basic White CS – 5-1/4″ x 4″, 4-1/4″ x 3″ and 3-1/4″ x 2″. The three Basic White CS pieces were stacked together and then I did my stamping using the Artistically Inked stamp set with Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen ink.
Now, I’m ready to build my triple stamp card! I added the largest Basic White layer to the card base and then added the larger Polished Pink CS layer. Next, ups was the medium Basic White CS layer and then the smaller Polished Pink layer and finished it off with the smallest Basic White layer. I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to create my sentiment and adhered it to the card using mini stampin’ dimensionals.
You know me, the card isn’t finished until I’ve done some stamping on the inside. I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. Using the Artistically Inked stamp set with Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya ink.
We are having a blast at the Spring 2022 Royal Retreat! I hope you can join us next year. Save the dates – May 18 to 21, 2023 You won’t want to miss it! Tune in next week to see our make n takes! We used the Flowering Rainboots bundle.

Hi, Stampers. Today’s card features a bundle that is retiring – the Seascape bundle (Seascape stamp set and Sea Life dies – on sale). I paired this bundle with the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (also retiring and on sale) to do an inlaid die-cut cut technique. I made two cards showing how different it can look depending on which part of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper you use.
Here is my first card… I had to laugh as I was typing up the text for this blog post. Can you see it? Look at the photo above and tell me what doesn’t belong… But, anyway… My card starts with a Highland Heather card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. After wrapping a piece of ribbon around a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of DSP (and adhering on the backside), it is then added to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
Whew, the back to that Stampin’ Dimensional must have fallen off before I took this photo. Honestly, I could have removed that with photoshop or just retake the photo, but it’s kinda funny. Where is the strangest place you find these things?
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS, onto which I stamped an underwater seascape scene.
The focal point was made by die cutting a seahorse out of a 4-1/4″ x 3″ piece of Rainbow Glimmer Paper and out of a 4-1/4″ x 3″ Basic White CS. The Basic White “frame” was adhered to a 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ layer of Balmy Blue CS. The Rainbow Glimmer seahorse was then inserted into the Basic White frame.
The focal point was then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The “thank you” sentiment (from the Seascape stamp set) was stamped onto a 1/2″ x 3″ strip of Basic White CS, this was placed in the center, even with the ribbon. A few sequins or pearls were added for just a little bling.
The fish were stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink, the seaweed was stamped in Pear Pizazz ink and then the sentiment in Highland Heather ink. The coral in the bottom right is die cut using the Sea Life dies.

Hi, Stampers. Do you remember scratch-n-sniff? Today’s card I did a DIY scratch-n-sniff technique using the Sweet Strawberries bundle! It smells SO GOOD!
This card can be made with or without the Scratch-n-Sniff technique. Either way, it starts with a Garden Green card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Real Red CS. The stamping is done on a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ layer of Basic White CS.
I used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set with Real Red ink to stamp the two-step strawberries all over the Basic White layer. (note: I didn’t line all of them up exactly right, but a light Real Red stampin’ blend worked great for touch up!) If you decide to do the Scratch-n-Sniff technique, this is when you do it.
Stampin’ Tip: I mixed some strawberry flavored Kool-Aid with clear embossing powder (one part Kool-aid to two parts embossing powder). Using Versamark ink and the solid strawberry stamp, I stamped right over the top of the existing red strawberries, added the embossing powder mix, and heated with the heat tool.
Using the Strawberry Builder Punch, I punched out the tops to the strawberries and attached them to the top of each one with a glue dot. Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I die cut “thanks” out of Basic White CS (with Adhesive Sheet on it) and the outline to “thanks” in Garden Green CS. After they were attached, then they were attached to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A red ribbon with a bow was wrapped around the Basic White layer and attached on the back. This layer was then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. I stamped the sentiment in the center and the strawberry in the lower right corner using Real Red ink. The top to the strawberry and the leaves in the upper left corner were stamped in Garden Green ink. I used the light Shaded Spruce stampin’ blend to color in the leaves and a dark Daffodil Delight stampin’ blend to color the center of the flowers.

Hi, Stampers. Bring on SPRING! I am so ready for some warm (not hot) weather and flowers! Today’s card features the In Bloom bundle. I just love all the stitching on the Pierced Blooms Dies. Did you see that the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine is on sale for 20% off this month?!?! These dies work great in that cute little machine!
My In Bloom card starts with a Balmy Blue card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. I used the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder to dry emboss a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS and adhered that to my card front. Next up is a 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ strip of the Pacific Point DSP. This is in the Brights DSP Paper Pack.
The flowers were die cut using the Pierced Blooms Dies with Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Balmy Blue CS. For the leaves, I used Garden Green CS. These are adhered to the card front on the left side with a combination of liquid glue and stampin’ dimensionals. The sentiment for the front of my card is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. It fits great into the smaller oval of the Double Oval Punch. It’s stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the Very Vanilla oval which was adhered to the Highland Heather Oval with liquid glue and then to the card front with stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the In Bloom card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. Using the In Bloom stamp set, I stamped the flowers in the upper left and lower right corner in Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather inks. I added a few leaves to those flowers using Garden Green ink. The sentiment is stamped in the center in Garden Green ink. I love this bundle!

Hi, Stampers. It’s almost time for the new Annual Catalog. It comes out in May, so March 23rd we learn what products will retire and April 1st the last chance promotion will start. One thing we know for sure is retiring is the 2020-2022 In-Color collection – paper, ink, embellishments, anything in those colors. I decided to use two of those colors in today’s floral thank you card – Magenta Madness and Just Jade.
If you have a favorite 2020-2022 In-Color, make sure you snag paper and ink refills before they are all gone!
Today’s floral thank you card starts with a Just Jade card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. For the front of the card, I used a 5-1/4″ x 3″ piece of Very Vanilla CS and a 5-1/2″ x 2″ piece of the Just Jade Designer Series Paper. I used the Basic Borders Dies to make a decorative edge on one of the long sides of the Very Vanilla piece of CS. The DSP was added to the bottom and then the Very Vanilla layer on top of that.
Using the Pierced Blooms Dies, I die cut flowers out of Rich Razzleberry and Magenta Madness CS and leaves out of Soft Seafoam. These are added to the front of the card using a mix of mini glue dots and stampin’ dimensionals. The thank you sentiment (from the Free As a Bird stamp set) was stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS in Just Jade ink. Using the Double Oval Punch, I punched out the sentiment and a scalloped oval of Rich Razzleberry. These are adhered together with Stampin’ Seal and to the card front with stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the floral thank you card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla. Using Rich Razzleberry and Magenta Madness inks, I stamped flowers in the upper left and lower right corner and then added some leaves in Garden Green ink. The sentiment, from the In Bloom stamp set, is stamped in the center in Rich Razzleberry ink.
In my stash, I happened to have some of the 2020-2022 In Color enamel dots leftover, so I added a few of those, too. I hope you love today’s floral thank you card and pin it to Pinterest, so you can check it out later!
