happy boo day…

08.29.2024…..Happy Thursday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a fun twist on a Halloween card, using a variety of products. To create the trees, I used some leftover paper that I had created for my “BOO” card that I posted a couple of weeks ago…..along with the Forever Forest Dies. I also used the Choose Happy Stamp Set, Deckled Circles Dies, and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Hope this card inspires you to add an unexpected twist to your projects, using a fun mix and of products and colors.

stampin’ fancy friday – celebration challenge…

08.26.2024…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “celebration” challenge! Our team members each created a fancy card or project showcasing a celebration…..birthday, graduation, retirement, new home, or whatever else they chose to celebrate!

The Bird’s Eye View and Sweetly Scripted Stamp Sets are two of my faves, so I paired them together to create this birthday card. To color the little bird, I used Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. For the flowers, I used Blending Brushes to add Petal Pink and Pool Party to Basic White Thick Cardstock, then used the Country Birdhouse Dies to cut them out. I also used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Citrus Blooms Dies, and Subtles 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created. We have a total of 24 amazing projects to share this month, and each using their own unique interpretation of the challenge!

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!

stamping sunday blog hop – joyful moments and timeless treasures…

08.18.2024…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends! For our Stamping Sunday Blog Hop this month, it is all about memory keeping…..be it scrapbooking, mini albums, Memories & More packs, or another form of cherishing those memories or trinkets. And…if memory keeping is not your fancy, you can also capture a memory in a card.

For my project, I decided to create a fall-themed mini album (4″ x 4″)…..using the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set, Autumn Leaves Dies, Pocket Thoughts Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Country Lace Designer Series Paper, and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. For the all of the leaves throughout the album, I used the Notes of Nature Dies (recently retired).

boo…

08.14.2024…..Happy Wednesday, my stampin’ friends! I love the Mediterranean Blooms Suite, but who said you can only create citrus-themed projects with products from this suite? For an unexpected twist, I actually decided to use the frame from the Citrus Blooms Dies as part of the background for this Halloween card. For the lettering, I used the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. I also created a pop of color using Blending Brushes, along with Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape. Hope this card inspires you to create a card or projects using your favorite products in an unexpected way, too!

08.05.2024…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! I’m finally getting around to playing with the Layers of Beauty Bundle a bit more. I love that you can use this bundle for lots of different techniques! Today, I decided to emboss the large bouquet on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and then used a Water Painter, along with several ink colors to color the image. Hope this card inspires you to create a card or projects using wonderful bundle, too!

so lucky to know you…

08.01.2024…..Happy Thursday, my stampin’ friends! One of my favorite things to do is to create cards with bits and pieces that are left over from other projects. So……today, I created these 4-3/4″ square cards, using leftover pieces of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. (FYI…this is also my one of my fave DSP collections of all time, so of course I ordered more than one package.) Hope this card inspires you to create a card or projects using some of your extra DSP bits and pieces, too!
