06.010.2024…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing card created with the Happiest Day Stamp Set. This stamp set is an eclectic mix of simple images and sentiments, that are great for cardmaking, scrapbooking, etc. It’s also a great, basic stamp set to have on hand for those last minute cards and projects!

I was in the mood to do some coloring with my Stampin’ Blends Markers, so I stamped the dragonfly image several times, and added a bright mix of colors. Hope this card inspires you create a card or project using this fun, trendy stamp set, too!

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 !

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!
