01.21.2024…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends! I really enjoyed using the Nature’s Sweetness Suite to create three cards a couple of day ago, using some unexpected colors…..Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, and Pool Party. That being said, I’m now a bit obsessed with this color combo, and I decided to create some gift tags as well. Hope these cards inspire you to create some fun, colorful projects with this super versatile suite!

12.20.2023…..Happy Wednesday, my stampin’ friends! I absolutely love the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper! So…..today I decided to use up a few of the remaining scraps that I still had. Even though I love to create holiday cards with unexpected color combos, the traditional reds and greens in this DSP are so festive! Hope this card inspires you to use up the last of your holiday DSP, too!

12.12.2023…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! As usual, this holiday season is just going by waaaaay too fast! I’m still working on some holiday projects, and hopefully I will get them all completed. With that being said, snowflakes are probably my favorite winter holiday image, so I was excited to create this card using the Chic Dies, along with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper. Hope this card inspires you to create a few more holiday projects, too…..before the season is over! 🙂

Happy Sunday, everyone! On Friday, the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team had a Secret Santa Instagram Hop. We each drew a name of one of our fellow team members, and then CASE’d one of their cards for this hop. It was so much fun to draw a name, and I was super excited to draw Silvia Berger. I love all of her beautiful layers and all of the wonderful layouts she creates, so I couldn’t wait to CASE one of her cards.
Hope you can join on on this Instagram Hop! There are lots of amazing cards to inspire your creativity! You will see the new card that was CASE’d, along with the original card from the other team member.
To see rest of the team’s cards, go to the post on my Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/stampspaperscissors/ and follow along on the hop.
Below is Silvia’s gorgeous card…..
11.20.2023…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a fun and festive ”Christmas Challenge”. I absolutely love gingerbread cookies, so of course I used the Sending Cheer Dies to create a fun and festive gingerbread card. IThere are 24 awesome cards that our design team created for this challenge, and they are the perfect way to jump-start your creativity!
For the gingerbread, I used Blending Brushes with Pecan Pie and Copper Clay. For the icing, I used a stylus, along with White Craft Ink. I also used the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder, Black & Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon, and 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack.
