05.24.2024…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “Case a Fancy Friend” challenge! This means that when you see a card and are so inspired by it…then you copy it (or selective copy) and share what you create! We each chose one of our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team members, and “cased” one of their cards. How much fun is that??? That being said, I decided to choose the amazing Brenda Nelson @stampwithbrenda !

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created and just who on the team they CASEd! We have 24 projects to share, and each one is AMAZING!!!

Then…..when you CASE one of our SFF teammates, share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post. We will share in our stories to inspire others as well!

05.19.2024…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends! For our Stamping Sunday Blog Hop this month, we are showcasing projects created with “something old” (featured in the previous Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 catalogs) and “something new” (featured in the current Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog). For my “something old” , I used the Textured Floral Stamp Set and Textured Floral Dies. For my “something new”, I used two of the new 2024-2026 In Colors…..Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. Hope this card inspires you to create a fun, unique card using this week’s challenge!

05.17.2024…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! It’s already time for another TGIF Challenge! This week we have a wonderful inspiration challenge for you…..Picture Perfect Backgrounds! Inspiration challenges are one of my faves, and it seems like y’all really love them, too! For my take on this challenge, I decided to use a Water Painter, along with Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue, to add a wash of color to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Hope this card inspires you to create a fun, unique card using this week’s challenge!

05.12.2024…..Happy Mother’s Day, my stampin’ friends! One of my favorite things to do is to mix and match products, including Designer Series Paper, from other suites and bundles. That being said, I paired products from the Mediterranean Blooms Suite and the Country Woods Suite. I was such a great match, that I ended up creating several cards with this combo of products. Hope these cards inspire you to create some cards or projects with a mix of your favorite products as well!

05.10.2024…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! I finally got a chance to play with the Spotlight on Nature Bundle. The detail in each of the images is fantastic, and are so much fun to watercolor. I used a Water Painter, along with Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, and a light wash of Pool Party for the background. Hope this card inspires you to create a card or project with the Spotlight on Nature Bundle as well!
