grateful…

03.12.2022…..Happy Saturday, my stampin’ friends! I had these three colorful, watercolored leaves leftover from a project that I created last fall, and I just couldn’t toss them out! So….today I finally decided to use them for this card! I also wanted to use my Magenta Madness Cardstock, which is one of the 2020-2022 In Colors that will be retiring in May. Hope this inspires you to use some of those special, little elements that you’ve saved and tucked away!

my love for you…

03.07.2022…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Winter is still hanging on where I live, and even though it was 21 degrees when I went out running this morning, I was totally feeling some beach vibes!

01.23.2022…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends! I can’t believe that February has almost come to a close! And…..it’s already time for another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop! For this Sunday’s hop, we are featuring projects created with products from the current Sale-A-Bration promotion… which is quickly coming to an end on February 28, 2022! You have just a few days to earn FREE product(s) from this catalog, when you place a $50+ order from one of the current Stampin’ Up! catalogs!

For my card and gift tag, I decided to use the Driving By Stamp Set and the Special Moments Stamp Set…both from the Sale-A-Bration catalog!

bragworthy…

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!

yay for love…

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!
