This is a card that I did for a Mystery Stamping which means I didn't know what the original card was going to look like or what stamp sets the demonstrator (Erica Cerwin) used.  I just knew the measurements she shared.  So, this is what I came up with and I was pleased with the results and I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog on pages 38-41.  Let me know what you think of my card in the comments.

Textured Floral Easel Calender

Every January, I like to make a calendar card with my club members and this tutorial was perfect from Selene Kempton.  I've made this layout before, so it was easy and fun to make with her instructions.  I used all the Regals 6" x 6" DSP but each club member got to choose their favorite Regals color to make their calendars.  This one uses Pretty Peacock.  You wouldn't have to use the Regals color family, of course.  Any family color would work.  The base of the card is cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and then scored at 2", 4" and 5-1/2".  Then just cut your DSP to fit a Basic White layer for each section on the front.  The sentiment on the inside is from the Textured Floral stamp set in the annual catalog.  SHOP WITH ME

Documenting The Day (2025 SAB)

This card was made from the Documenting the Day stamp set that I earned FREE with a $60 order.  If you have a Sale-a-Bration catalog, it is posted on page 3.  It has several beautiful sentiments around memorable days.  It has various phrases that can be paired with the bold DAY sentiment to create difference sentences.  These phrases are perfect for adding scrapbook memories as titles or fun accents.  The little Adhesive Backed Hearts are from the Online Exclusives (not found in an of the catalogs). The idea for this card came from Rhonda Wade.  All the items can be purchased at SHOP WITH ME

This card makes me think of summer with the delicious watermelon designer series paper from the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper that can be earned FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.  Sale-a-Bration started on Tuesday, January 7 and runs until the end of February.  I also used a stamp set for the sentiment from the Annual Catalog called Ice Cream Swirl SHOP WITH ME
