This is such a fun bundle, and I love that it includes three different holidays …..Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.  I know I’ll be using this bundle for all three holidays, but I thought I’d use it create a Halloween card and Mini Pizza Box today, since Halloween is just around the corner!  I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each project, so you can scroll right to the project that suits your fancy and start creating!

That being said, I finally decided to use the new Gather Together Bundle.  I’m sharing three cards (beginner, casual, avid) created with this bundle.  (The avid card is featured above.)  I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each card, so you can scroll right to the card that suits your fancy and start creating!

For today’s TGIF Inspiration Challenge ( #TGIFC225), we are featuring cards that are “all on black”.  I absolutely love this challenge!!!  I tend to use white or more subtle backgrounds, so it really challenged me to think outside of the box!

08.12.19…..Happy Sunday, everyone!  Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and were able to spend at least a little bit of time stamping and creating!  To create this card, I decided to have a little fun with my Butterfly Gala stamp set, along with my Subtles Designer Series Paper.  They really pair well together, and I just love the patterns that are included in paper!

08.05.19…..Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I’m sharing the card that I created as my Guest Designer Color Challenge card, over at the Global Design Project (#GDP201) this week. The color combo for this challenge is Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, and Pretty Peacock. I’ve been using a lot of subtle color combos lately. So…. it was a fun change to design a card using these rich, fall colors…..along with the Very Versailles stamp set!

08.02.19…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends!  It is really August already?  Really???  Where did June and July go?  Nevertheless, no matter what month of the year it is, it is always a good time to stamp!  And….there is never not a good time to let someone know how much you appreciate them!  That being said, I created the thank you card, using another watercolor background technique, which by the way I seem to be a little obsessed with at the moment.  Hope you enjoy it!

Continue reading “always grateful…” →

07.28.19…..Happy Sunday, everyone!  I am super excited to share these cards with you today, as this is my first post as a member of the Stamping Sunday Design Team!  Needless to say, I am thrilled to be a part of this talented group of stampers!

For this Sunday’s hop, we are featuring projects using pigment sprinkles or an inked background.  That being said, I’m sharing three cards (beginner, casual, avid) using the same inked background.  (The avid card is featured above.)  I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each card, so you can scroll right to the card that suits your fancy and start creating!

07.27.19…..Welcome to the weekend, my stampin’ friends!  Hope you’ve had a chance to do something creative this week.  Some of my creativity the last couple of weeks has been inspired by the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  They are so versatile, and just perfect for cutting out sentiments and stamped images.  However, I’ve also been having a great time using these dies to create mini frames for my cards and projects. That being said, I thought it would be fun to create a framed “chalkboard” for today’s card.

Continue reading “chalkboard blessings…” →

07.19.19…..Happy Friday, everyone!  The weekend is almost here, and summer is heating up quickly in Northern California!  Time for trips to the lake, outdoor barbeques, and…..linen.  Linen…huh???  I love to wear cool, linen clothing when then temperatures starting climbing and that, my stampin’ friends, was the inspiration for this card.  Subtle shades, neutral colors, linen-like textures, and even Linen Thread were incorporated into this design.  Hope you enjoy it!

Continue reading “always thinking of you…” →

07.12.19…..Welcome to Friday afternoon, my stampin’ friends!  Once again, this week has seemed to just fly by!  I have to say that I love the title of this blog post, because “simply wonderful” is one of the best ways to describe the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog.  The “wonderfulness” of the new catalog is beyond…!

Those of you that follow my blog know that I love to add dimension and texture, using a mix embossing folders, DSP, accessories, and more.  That being said, today’s card is an fun blend of many of those products.

Continue reading “simply wonderful…” →

UPDATE (07.15.19)…..This morning, I was excited to find out my card was not only one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #197 (#GDPwinner), I was also honored to be chosen as the Guest Designer for the next Global Design Project Color Challenge! I can’t wait to see what the color combo will be! 😃

07.12.19…..It’s hard to believe the weekend is almost here!  Hope you are able to squeeze in a little time these next few days to do something creative!  That being said, my “something creative”  was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project Color Challenge (#GDP197).  I also had not used my Butterfly Gala stamp set in awhile, and I thought it would be just perfect for this project!

Continue reading “life is better (#gdp197)…” →

070519…..Welcome to Friday, everyone!  Hope y’all had a wonderful 4th of July!  It was a gorgeous day here in Northern California…with lots of festive, local celebrations and events.  So much fun!

The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Catalog is in full-swing, and I just can get enough of all of the amazing new products!  One of my new favs is the Stitched Nested Label Dies.  While the dies are just perfect for creating cards, I’ve also been using them for other projects as well…..such as my “little pockets of goodness”.  I thought that name was quite fitting, since each pocket is filled with one of my favorite little chocolate squares!

Continue reading “little pockets of goodness…” →

06.28.19…..Omg! Where has the week gone? Hope everyone is have a wonderful Friday afternoon! In my last post, I mentioned that I’ve become obsessed with the new To a Wild Rose Bundle. And…..I will continue to stand by that statement! However, this time I paired it with the Parcels & Petals Bundle as well. I’ve mentioned several times how much I love mixing products from different bundles and suites. It’s so much fun to pick and choose products to create my own “custom blend”. Hope y’all enjoy it!

Whenever you order a one of the many amazing “bundles” that Stampin’ Up has to offer, versus buying the products individually, you will automatically receive a 10% discount!

(This includes the To A Wild Rose Bundle and the Parcels & Petals Bundle that I used to create this card.)

Continue reading “blessed…” →

06.21.19…..Happy Friday, stampers!  I have to admit that it took me a minute to start creating cards and projects with the new To a Wild Rose Bundle.  However, I’ve quickly become obsessed with it!  That being said, I couldn’t help creating another card with this gorgeous set!  (By the way…..for those of you who also love to layer, this card should defintely fill that niche!)

Continue reading “a wild rose…” →

06.20.19…..Hope y’all are having a wonderful Thursday!  Here in Northern California, it’s been a gorgeous last day of Spring…..80 degrees and clear, blue skies.  I’m doing my best to soak it all in, as I know those 100+ degree days are just around the corner!

In my opinion, there is never “not” a good time to let those special people know how grateful you are to have them in your life.  Who doesn’t like to know that someone appreciates them?  That being said, the new To a Wild Rose Bundle is just perfect to create all of those cards and projects to celebrate those treasured friendships.  I am also participating in the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge (#GDP194) this week, so I thought this bundle would be just perfect to use for my card!

Continue reading “grateful to know you (#gdp194)…” →

06.14.19…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends!  The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog has so many wonderful bundles and suites!  It makes is super easy to “grab and go” when you need to create a card or project at a moment’s notice.  However, the thing I also love about so many of the Stampin’ Up products, is how well they “cross-coordinate” with one another.

That being said, I created this card using the Bloom & Grow Bundle (Bloom & Grow Stamp Set + Budding Blooms Dies).  However, I also added in the following products from the Woven Threads Suite…..Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, Woven Threads Trim, and the Woven Threads Sequin Assortment.  It’s definitely an unexpected combo!

Continue reading “from the bottom of my heart…” →

UPDATE:  06.17.19…..This morning, I was excited to find out that my Bloom & Grow card (that I posted on 06/12/19) was one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #193 (#GDPwinner). 😃

06.12.19…..Welcome to Wednesday, everyone!  And…welcome to the brand NEW 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog!  It seems that each and every Stampin’ Up catalog is full of amazingly wonderful products, and this new catalog certainly doesn’t disappoint!

This week, I’m participating in the latest Global Design Project (#GDP193) Color Challenge, and I thought the NEW Bloom & Grow Bundle would be just perfect for this card.  Don’t forget…..you can save 10% by ordering the Bloom & Grow Bundle (Bloom & Grow Stamp Set + Budding Blooms Dies)!

05.31.19…..Welcome to Thursday, stampers! I just love the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper from the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog! I also love chocolate (…a lot!!!), so I figured why not combine the Bird Ballad DSP with a sweet chocolate treat. And that my stampin’ friends, is the inspiration for these pretty little candy bar wrappers.

You may begin placing orders from the NEW 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog on June 4, 2019.

If you still have products on your wish list from the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog, you will need to place your order no later than June 3, 2019.

05.30.19…..Happy Thursday, everyone!  I still can’t believe it, but the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog will be coming to an end in just a few days…on June 3rd!  Several of my stamp sets will be retiring, so I decided to make one last card with one of the sweetest little sets in the catalog, “A Good Day“.  That being said, the theme for this week’s Global Design Project (#GDP191) is Bees, Birds, & Butterflies, and I thought the little bird from the “A Good Day” stamp set would be perfect for my card.

Continue reading “a good day (#gdp191)…” →

05.29.19…..Welcome to Wednesday, everyone!  I love the title of this blog, because as far as Stampin’ Up goes, we are all about to embark on an amazing “new adventure”!  Yes, my stampin’ friends, we are just days away (…six days to be exact, but who’s counting?) from the release of the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog.  And that my friends, is an wonderful “adventure”of color and creativity that knows no bounds!

Continue reading “a new adventure…” →

05.24.19…..Welcome to the weekend, everyone!  I have to admit that the title of this post is a bit misleading.  O.K…….a lot misleading!  This cool, little box was created with some of the amazing new products (including the Petals & Parcels Bundle) from the soon-to-be released 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  And that new catalog, my stampin’ friends, is not “a little something”…..but “a BIG something”!

Yes, stampers…the overwhelming excitement and anticipation is real!  The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog will be released in less than two weeks!  You may begin placing your customer orders on June 4, 2019!

05.23.19…..Happy Friday, stampers! The 2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and the 2019 Occasions Catalog will both be expiring in less than two weeks…on June 3rd. I know…it’s hard to believe, right? There are so many fun stamps sets and accessories in these catalogs, many of which will be retiring. So…if there are any retiring products that are still on your wishlist, you’ll want to order them as soon as possible!

That being said, I’m so excited that the Piece of Cake stamp set (used to create this card), along with coordinating Cake Builder Punch, will be carried over to the upcoming 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. It just love the versatiliy of this set. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other occassion….this set has got you covered! And…with the coodinating Cake Builder Punch, it makes you job even that much easier!

Continue reading “cut the cake…” →

05.06.2019…..Welcome to Monday, everyone!  I have to admit that I had a wonderful time creating my Lovely as a Tree frame yesterday.  So…..I figured why not create another framed project with the Lovely as a Tree set, but this time in an unexpected color combo.  I really wanted to switch things up, so I decided to Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, and Melon Mambo.  Hope y’all enjoy it!

If by chance you don’t have the Lovely as a Tree set, your last opportunity to purchase it will be June 3, 2019 (….or until supplies last).  Don’t miss out!!!

Continue reading “party of trees…” →

05.05.2019…..Well, my stampin’ friends, it is defintely the end of an era!  Yes, it’s hard to believe…..but the Lovely as a Tree stamp set is retiring at the end of May!  Since it’s debut in 2001, it has been a classic Stampin’ Up set that has never gone out of style.  If by chance you don’t have this set, your last opportunity to purchase it will be June 3, 2019 (….or until supplies last).  Don’t miss out!!!

Because this is such a timeless stamp set, I wanted create something extra special.  So…..I decided to create this framed artwork that I could use in my home all year ’round.

05.05.19…..The latest Paper Pumpkin kit (Sentimental Rose), has such a versatile stamp set, as well as beautifully designed cards, elements, and accessories.  I’ve really enjoyed making several projects from this “rosy” kit!

I absolutely love the gorgeous “Distinktive” flower stamp that is included in this kit, so I thought I would combine it with some other fun Stampin’ Up products and accessories.  While Stampin’ Up has sooooooo many wonderful bundles, suites, paper and accessories that are specially designed to be used together, I also truly enjoy “cross-coordinating” and mixing different styles and themes together with one another.    And that, my stamping friends, is the inspiration for this card…..

Continue reading “friends and roses…” →

04.28.19…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends!  Those of you that follow my blog know that I really enjoy creating cards, but I absolutely love creating home decor projects as well.  That being said, I decided to use this month’s Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin kit to create this floral, shabby-chic inspired banner.  The pre-printed images in this Paper Pumpkin kit are absolutely wonderful!  The roses and flowers are beautifully detailed, and the watercolor-inspired layering cards base add such a pretty pastel effect.

You’ll also want to check out my Sentimental Rose post, to see the shabby chic projects that I created with this kit as well.

04.28.19…..I had so much fun playing with the new April 2019 Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend!  It is such a gorgeous kit, and it incorporates some of my favorite Stampin’ Up colors…..Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, and Mint Macaron!  With so many special events popping up this time of year…..graduations, weddings, baby showers, and of course Mother’s Day…..this kit is truly a life saver and a time saver!  With just a few extra accessories, I was able to create these three projects, as well as several others.  You’ll also want to check out my Paper Pumpkin and Roses post, to see the shabby chic banner that I created with this kit as well.

04.14.19…..Happy Sunday, everyone!  It’s was such a gorgeous Spring day today….for a couple of precious hours.  Now…..the rain clouds are moving in, so I figured it’s another good day to stay inside, and do some crafting and creating.  That being said, I wanted to take the time to share this “shabby chic-inspired” card with you this morning.  The Tin Tile Embossing Folder made its debut in the 2018 Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog, and I used to for quite a few projects back then.  So…..I thought I pull it out once again to create a background for this card.  Luckily, this embossing folder is a carry-over item.  If you don’t have it yet, I know you’ll want to order it as soon as possible!

Continue reading “miss you…” →

03.31.19…..Happy Sunday, stampers!  I can believe that tomorrow is April 1st, and….today is the last day for the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration!  That being said, I thought I would create one last card with the Butterfly Elements.

Continue reading “thanks for everything…” →

03.24.19…..Happy Sunday everyone!  We’ve still been having some lingering winter weather this past week, but today we had another wonderful Spring day!  Once again, this beautiful weather has inspired me to create a Spring-themed card.  And…..what a better way to gather some extra inspiration than from this week’s Global Design Project – Color Challenge (#GDP181).  This week’s color trio was Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist, and Daffodil Delight.  Such a bright, cheery combo……love, love, love!!!

03.17.19…..Today is a gorgeous, “almost-Spring” day where I live….high 60’s, clear skies, and sunshine!  It doesn’t get much better than that!  That being said, it put me in the mood to create some Spring cards, so I decided to pull out my Varied Vases stamp set.  I also paired it with some of the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper, to pull in some of those soft pastel shades.

03.03.18….. It’s hard to believe it’s March already!  However, there are still a few more weeks to take advantage of the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration!  That being said, I decided to create this card for this week’s Global Design Project (#GDP178) using the All Adorned stamp set, which is one of the wonderful products that you can earn for FREE (when you a $50+ order in Stampin’ Up merchandise).

Update (02.25.19)…..This morning, I was excited to find out that my rooster card was one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #177 (#GDPwinner).

02.24.19…..Good evening, stampers! Just a few blog posts ago, I posted my three little roosters card (using the SAB Home to Roost stamp set). I have to say, I really loved its fun, whimsical colors! That being said, this week’s Global Design Project #177 was a color challenge…..using Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. So…..I figured why not incorporate that color combo into one more rooster card. So, here you go my friends…
