Painterly Pears Calendar

2026 Calendar Sneak Peek! 🍐✨

I’m so excited to share the first 2026 calendar project we’ll be making at my upcoming Craft Your Year Card Making Class! This sweet little calendar features a beautiful print from the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Pack—the colors and textures are simply gorgeous. The decorative elements are perfectly coordinated and die cut from another pattern in the same pack using the Perfectly Pears Dies. I’ve finished it off with a mini calendar from Taylored Expressions, which adds the perfect finishing touch.

We’ll be making two 2026 calendars during class, so you’ll have one to enjoy and one to gift—or keep them both for yourself!

🗓 Class Date: Saturday, October 25th
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
🏡 Location: My home studio
📅 RSVP by: Monday, October 20th (space is limited!)

Come craft, laugh, and create something beautiful for the new year. I can’t wait to spend this creative morning with you!

Sunflower Embossing Folder Thank You Card

 A Bright & Beautiful Thank You Card – Sneak Peek from This Saturday’s Class! 🌻✂️

This Saturday, I’ll be hosting my next card making class, and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of one of the two thank you cards we’ll be making! This cheerful card features a mix of texture, layers, and color using the Textured Notes Bundle and a fabulous upcoming Online Exclusive Sunflower Embossing Folder—coming in July (and yes, it’s a must-have).

📸 

Here's the Card Recipe:

• Card Base: A2 size in Daffodil Delight

• Embossed Layer: 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White, embossed using the Sunflower Embossing Folder, adhered flat to the card base for a clean and simple look.

• Sentiment Label: Die cut using the smallest die from the Textured Notes Dies—love the stitched edge effect!

• Ribbon Accent: The classic Black & White Gingham Ribbon was colored using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to coordinate perfectly. It’s tucked behind the sentiment for a soft, sweet detail.

• Finishing Touch: A charming Bumblebee Trinket adds the perfect golden pop.

Inside the Card:

• Mat Layer: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" in Basic Black

• Message Panel: Die cut from Basic White using the largest Textured Notes Die—each side has a different edge for lots of interest!

• Stamping: A leaf in Daffodil Delight, and the sentiment in Memento Black Ink, both from the Textured Notes Stamp Set.

Don’t Forget the Envelope!

No card is complete without a coordinating envelope. I blended Daffodil Delight Ink onto a 2 1/2" x 6" strip of Botanical Textures DSP and adhered it to the envelope flap for a polished, matching finish.

This card is truly a celebration of gratitude—bold, sunny, and heartfelt. 💛

Can’t wait to create with you!

Happy Stamping,
Jean

Saturday Card Class Sneak Peek: Beachy Fun with the Notes & Totes Bundle!

Hey crafty friends! 🌞

I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of one of the two cards we’ll be making at this Saturday’s class! This one features the adorable Notes & Totes Bundle, paired perfectly with a piece from the Thoughtful Journey DSP. I absolutely love how these elements came together to create a light, breezy, beach-inspired card that feels like a mini vacation in an envelope!

The stamp set in the Notes & Totes Bundle is full of warm, heartfelt sentiments — perfect for sending some sunshine to someone special. The coordinating die set adds so much personality to your projects. Wait until you see the stylish sunglasses and playful little scarf included — so fun and fashion-forward!

For this card, I used one of the watercolor-inspired backgrounds from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. It gave just the right dreamy backdrop to our beachy theme. Add in some of the cute die-cut accessories, and you've got a handmade card that’s sure to brighten someone’s day.

Whether you're a seasoned crafter or brand new to stamping, this project is super achievable — and full of charm. I can't wait to see what creative spins you'll put on it at class!

✨ Don’t forget: Class is this Saturday, and we’ll be making two cards total, including this one. Be sure to bring your adhesive and your crafty energy!

See you soon!
