Is there anything cuter than these Christmas mice? Especially the caroling ones! “Falalalala!” My card today is a fun fold inspired by Jeanie Stark’s Monday Mystery Stampin’! She took a couple of weeks off, so I’m glad to see her Monday posts back. I used the Designer Series Paper called…
For our last September posting of Create with Stamping Friends, I’ve chosen a Christmas theme (doesn’t it seem to start earlier and earlier each year?!!) With A Stitched Season DSP, Stitched Stocking Stamp Set, and one of the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders, I’ve built a cute little Christmas card…
We’re back with Creating Coast to Coast! This month is my lead, so we’ll be traveling West to East, and I’ve got a gourd-geous card for you today! My theme this month was to create a card with a stenciled background, using a fall theme. So what better than the …
With this color combination at Create with Stamping Friends, I just had to go with Halloween ~ what else?! Frightfully Fun DSP made it an easy choice, and I tried a technique that I saw Brian King do. There are two identical sheets of DSP in the pack with only…

Greetings! It’s a new month and we have a new banner for Create with Stamping Friends! Fall is in the air! This week we have a color challenge and these colors are so “Autumn.” I decided to go with inlaid color with these three + the warm neutral of Very…
School is starting up again, which means summer is nearly over! I thought I’d take one more trip to the beach boardwalk before it closes down for the season! Here’s my (virtual) trip, a beach boardwalk birthday card to help celebrate the occasion: This is a fun fold! It’s one…
For our last Thursday of the month, we have a sketch challenge at Create with Stamping Friends. I’ve chosen the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP for my card. The polka dot print is perfect for the horizontal strips, then the flower is just the right size for the focal point. I…

I mentioned yesterday how beautiful the Glow of Harvest Specialty DSP, our August Product-of-the-Month, is. Today I’m showing you a card I made with one of the sheets. These colors are just so pretty! I made a fun fold that was the style of the first fun fold I ever…
