Brian’s Week in Review: June 21, 2026 loop

Welcome to this week’s Week in Review! This week included a Father’s Day parade of masculine cards, a seven-layer card that refused to stay simple, a beautiful Golden Glow bouquet, Product Shares from the upcoming Online Exclusives launch, and a card inspired by the spirit of Juneteenth.

I’m also sharing photos of the finished quilt my mom made for my nephew after completing pilot school – a project many of you followed when she visited earlier this year.

Take a stroll through the week with me. There are plenty of cards, a few personal updates, and a couple of bonus photos waiting for you. ♥

A Card Inspired by History and Hope

Phrases & Frames, Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

Today’s card was inspired by Juneteenth – not as a literal representation of the holiday, but as a thoughtful tribute to remembrance, freedom, and hope. The design features Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, including a page printed with words from Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s poem Songs for the People, paired with a sentiment about honoring yesterday while shaping tomorrow. I hope you’ll stop by to see how this meaningful card came together. ♥

Seven Layers Later: The Story of a Simple Get Well Soon Card

Get Well Soon, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

I set out to make a simple two-layer card… and somehow ended up with seven layers instead! Thankfully, the finished design still feels clean and simple, thanks to a gorgeous oversized sentiment, beautiful patterned papers and some sweet new Adhesive-Backed Blooms. Stop by the blog for a closer look at today’s cheerful get well card and the color combination that brought it all together.
