Blossoming Branches, Designer paper, Fun Folds - 3 cards

Hello. I am posting a follow up blog post for the Blue Knight Stamps Design Team project that I created using the new Blossoming Branches stamp set. These cards focus on how to incorporate fun folds, designer paper and embossing folders to enhance the design.

For my first card, I embossed one half of a piece of  4.25" x 11" ivory cardstock with the 3D Stylized Floral embossing folder from Spellbinders. I folded this in half to form a 4.25" x 5" card base. I then folded the front of the card base (the embossed section) in half to create the fun fold. I had a piece of floral designer paper in my stash and I glued that to the inside of my card base. I stamped and colored the large Blossoming Branch with Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers then fussy cut the branch. I glued that to the embossed side of the card base (the front, outside). I used a Thank You sentiment (matted with light peach cardstock). I added a few peach gems to finish the card. 


For my second card, I embossed a piece of 4.25" x 11" coral cardstock with the 3D Stylized Floral embossing folder from Spellbinders. I folded this to create a gate fold (scored and folded at 2" and 7.5"). I then trimmed a piece of floral paper and glued that to the left side of the gate fold. My Blossoming Branch was stamped on a piece of ivory cardstock and colored with Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers. I then glued the colored panel to the floral panel and added several gems. I did not add a sentiment to this card. When I am ready to give it away I will stamp the inside, which has a piece of light peach cardstock. 


My third card is not a fun fold, but I did use the same patterned paper. I stamped The Blossoming Branch image on a piece of ivory paper and colored it with the Tombow Twin Tone Pastel markers. I matted it onto a piece of light peach card stock and glued it to the left side on top of the patterned paper. I added a Thank You sentiment matted on a piece of light peach card stock. I glued several peach gems around the colored image. I glued all this to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card base.

Pine Tree Trio - Pan Pastels and Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hello. I am excited to share two cards for the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Design Team featuring the Pine Tree Trio Stamp Set from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. This stamp set is part of the July 2025 new release, and it features three separate trio silhouette pine tree stamps size small, medium and large. I created a video on my YouTube Channel that demonstrates how I made these two cards:

For my first card, I used PanPastels to create the background. I blended Diarylide Yellow Tint, Diarylide Yellow, Orange, Red Iron Oxide and Magenta to create this sunrise scene. I stamped the largest of the Pine Tree Trio stamps in the bottom left corner. I stamped the medium Silhouette Moose in the bottom right corner and the foliage from the Eagle and Foliage stamp set in the top right corner and across the top. I also stamped some grass from the Silhouette Grasses stamp set along the bottom of the panel. Pan Pastels require a setting spray, and I always use hairspray (a light spray on the finished card panel). This helps prevent the Pan Pastel colors from rubbing off. I trimmed 1/8" around the panel and adhered the panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

For my second card, I used a piece of Designer Paper from the Day Sky paper set from Blue Knight. This card is positioned in the landscape orientation. I used a piece of acetate to create a rolling hill stencil. Using this hand cut stencil, I used a domed foam ink blender and I ink blended Spruce Ink from Catherine Pooler to create the rolling hill. I then pounced the ink dauber to create grass. I stamped the large Pine Tree Trio stamp on the left and stamped the medium Pine Tree Trio stamp twice on the right (going up the hill). I stamped the hiker from the Silhouette Sportsmen Stamp Set and an Eagle from the Silhouette Tree and Eagles set. I trimmed 1/8" around the panel and adhered the panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").

Panda Bamboo - Pan Pastels and Northern Lights Designer Paper - Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hello. Today I have two cards featuring the new Panda Bamboo stamp set from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. This stamp is part of the new July 2025 release. For more detailed information, check out the video on my YouTube Channel:

For my first card, I used a piece of Northern Lights Designer Paper by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. These papers are 4.25" x 5.5" (A2 card size) and there are six designs (five designs on front, one on back). There are 25 two-sided cards in each paper pack. I stamped the Panda Bamboo stamp onto a piece of the Northern Lights Designer Paper. I then used a white gel pen to color in the panda and to draw highlights on the bamboo leaves. I stamped the bottom right-hand corner with the leaves from the Silhouette Corner Foliage Stamp. Finally, I colored the shaft of the bamboo plant with a green maker.

For my second card, I colored the background with Pan Pastels using the Sunrise Sunset Palette. I stamped the Panda Bamboo Stamp onto the Pan Pastel Background and colored the panda with a white gel pen.  I stamped the bottom right-hand corner with the leaves from the Silhouette Corner Foliage Stamp. I finished the panel by coloring the bamboo shaft with a green marker. Pan Pastels require a setting spray, and I always use hairspray (a light spray on the finished card panel). This helps prevent the Pan Pastel colors from rubbing off.
