05.09.22…..Happy Saturday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created with lots of amazing products from the brand new 2022-2023 Stampin; Up! Annual Catalog! Actually, the title of this blog post sums up the new catalog really well…..it’s just full of everything wonderful!
What I love about Stampin’ Up! products are how well they work with each other. On this crd, I used several new products, not all from the same suite, collection, or bundle….but they all blend together perfectly!
05.09.22…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing something a little different. It’s a little watercolored flower, and I decided it would be perfect for this shabby chic frame that I’ve been holding on to for years. The inspiration for the flower came from the amazing Shannon West, who shared her tutorial video on Youtube yesterday…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmmvaVRSrHs. She watercolored a beautiful, hand-painted flower, which I absolutely adore! So…..I thought I would give it a try.
I was really happy with the flower that I painted, but then….I ran into a bit of a mishap with my Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink. So….I added more Daffodil Delight and Crushed Crushed around the flower, along with some splatted water drops. Even with my little mishap, I’m still excited with the way it turn out, and I can’t wait to try another one…maybe in a different color combo. Thank you bunches, Shannon West, for sharing your talent!
05.06.22…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! It’s already time for another TGIF Challenge! This week we have a wonderful Color Challenge for you…..Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, and Fresh Freesia! Such a beautiful combo! We hope you have a chance to play along with us this week. We’d love to see what you create!

That being said, I could wait to make a card with the Vintage Bottle Punch and the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes from the new catalog! They are just so much fun!!! I made a soft, springtime card, but….you could use the punch and the dome for any occasion! Hope this inspires you to create your own “vintage bottle” projects!

02.07.2022…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! There are so many fun stamp sets in the new Stampin’ Up! January – June Mini Catalog! It’s always nice to have a stamp set with images and sentiment, but I do love a good “sentiments only” stamp set…..and especially a set with humorous sentiments! That being said, I just couldn’t resist purchasing the Bragworthy Stamp Set! It’s just so much fun!
Because I love these sentiments so much, I decided to make them the “stars of the show”. I didn’t add any ther stamped images, just an inked and embossed background, and some embellishiments. Hope this card inspires you create a some projects and cards with your favorite sentiment set, as well!
02.07.2022…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is just one week away! So…I decided to create another card with the Sweet Conversations Bundle!

02.01.2022…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! I had so much fun creating the little watercolor hearts for my 3″ x 3″ cards yesterday, and I actually had several of them left over. So….I decided to use the extra hearts to create this card! Of course, this would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day card, but I think it would make a great wedding or anniversary card as well! Hope these card inspires you use your leftover bits and pieces, too!
01.31.2022…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! I just love making 3″ x 3″ cards whenever I have the chance, So…..today, I decided to make four, little Valentine’s Cards!

For my little 3″ x 3″ cards, I decided to use the new Heart & Home Memories and More Card Pack! This is such a wonderful selection of graphics, patterns, and sentiments, which are obviously great for scrapbooking and memory keeping. However…..I thought it would be fun to create some little note cards instead! With just a simple card base, and a few extra embellishments, I whipped up these little cards in a flash!

I love using a Water Painter to add quick washes of color to simple images that I’ve stamped with a Tuxedo BlackMemento Pad. The Driving By Stamp Set (from the current Sale-A-Bration catalog) is just perfect for that. For a little unexpected twist, I used Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Bermuda Bay to color those cute, little VW busses.

That being said, I decided to create this fun, little set of holiday notecards, using the Tidings of Christmas DesignerSeries Paper, along with…..the Kraft Gift Box, Note Cards & Envelopes, and Cork Specialty Paper.

Christmas will be here before you know it!
11.01.2021…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today I decided to do something that I really enjoy, but don’t do as often as I’d like! I pulled out my little baskets of scraps and unused elements once again, and…decided to create a card with what I found inside! I had all of these fun little trees inside, which were leftovers from a few different projects! They had already been die cut from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and watercolored with various ink colors. I did create a new background, and added a new sentiment as well. Hope this card inspires you to dig through your treasure trove of scraps, and create something new and unexpected!
