Just a Note with Notes & Totes

Greetings my stamping friends! I have been wanting to play with a new bundle from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog for a while now and I finally was able to get myself organized enough to actually make a card.

I have had the Notes & Totes Bundle for a few weeks now and have seen so many cute projects created by other demonstrators. I pulled it out last night and I could not reason out how to use the dies (I think I was just really tired, actually) so I looked for something to help guide me on YouTube and I found a video by a fellow demonstrator in Minnesota, Rachel Tessman. Here is the card she made that I used as inspiration for my project (note that my photo is taken of her card as displayed on my laptop screen so it is a little on the blurry side).

Sadly I did not have the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape (due to be back in stock on July 21), so I changed the theme of my card but used her layout. Here is my card.

I took a second photo with the flash on so that you could see the Wink of Stella glitter on the star fish and nautilus shells.

I simply applied Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon and Darling Duckling ink to a piece of Basic White cardstock that was 4.25″ x 5.50″ to create the beach, ocean and sunny sky using Blending Brushes. I stamped in Crumb Cake the little pebbles from the stamp set in the sandy area to give it some dimension. When I was finished with blending the ink, I cut 1/8″ off of all four sides so that the finished piece is 4.00″ x 5.25″ (this removes the dark edges from the blending brush hitting the edge of the cardstock).

Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of this card:
