It’s time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge! I really enjoy designing around three elements that they have determined for their board. Today I’ve picked the vertical left row with Sparkle/Beach/Border, and used my Rolling Waves bundle. Here’s the #tttc298 board: And here’s my card: I’ve been watching videos…
Let’s end the month with a Fun Fold! I followed Jeanie’s Mystery Monday Stampin’ clues this week and made this angled tri-panel card: I love this fold, as you can see three different patterns of DSP from the front. And then when you open it, one of those patterns flips…
It’s our final July posting at Create with Stamping Friends! Next week we start our August cards with a color challenge. But one more catalog CASE here to end the month! We are using the pretty Velvet Meadow card on page 33 to kick off our inspiration. What do you…
I made this card for a color challenge coming up in Create with Stamping Friends but when I looked for it in the online store I found out that it is no longer available! Huh! That’s disappointing. I can’t use it for CSF, but I’m going to share it with…
Stampin’ Up! is offering Craft Classes (as you probably know), but I’m here to give them a plug! I took the Scenic Coast class and was very impressed with the quality of the class! The women who presented were thorough, easy to follow, and lots of fun. I finished the…
Jeanie’s Monday Mystery Stampin’ is back this week, and I jumped in with this new Halloween DSP that I’ve been wanting to work with. It’s called Frightfully Fun and it truly is fun! This 12″x 12″ orange, black, and white paper has ghosts and bats and spooky trees and some…
We are just zipping through July! This is our fourth CASE of the catalog for the month with Relaxing Waterside Bundle on page 55. I love an Adirondack chair and was excited to see this one back in our catalog! Here’s the challenge: And here’s what I made: I took…
Welcome to our July posting of Creating Coast to Coast! This month Rosanne takes the lead, so we are traveling east to west… Her chosen theme this month is Christmas in July, using scraps! How fun! I have lots of scraps, as I imagine most of you do. Let’s take…
“I feel another CASE coming on!” This week at Create with Stamping Friends we are going to page 38 of the catalog to play with Scalloped Blooms. Here’s our inspiration: And here’s my card: Another close copy with a few tweaks. I cut the Bloom Boutique DSP down and matted…
I have a new (to me) stamp & die bundle that I’m very excited about! It’s the Bordered in Beauty Bundle. This flew under the radar for me until I saw an interesting border edge on a card that Su Mohr made. I thought, “I have to have that!” Ever…
I offered a “Christmas in July” class last week where we made 5 projects using A Stitched Season Suite Collection. It was fun and maybe a tiny bit challenging. But the end results were worth it. Some of it was a bit “fiddly” to use a phrase that my friend…
For our second Thursday posting this month, Create with Stamping Friends is taking on a Moonlit Flora CASE! Our model is on page 41. This beautiful jungly paper is one of my favorites from the catalog! Here’s our inspiration: And here’s my CASE: I chose the same sheet of DSP…
I bought these Gilded Wings Accents quite a while ago… and realized today that I’ve never even taken them out of their package! Time to fix that! So I made this green and gold butterfly card that I am quite happy with. It’s a very simple design that is easily…
I’m playing with Tic Tac Toe Challenge today! It’s #tttc296, a fun summer theme created by my good friend, Rosanne. I saw “fruit” and ran to get my Filled With Sweetness stamp set, then added Homemade Sweetness DSP, and finally, the Sweet Jar stamp set. This is a berry SWEET…
Each month I send out a card kit to everyone who orders from my online store. It’s just a little way to say “thank you for your order!” I truly appreciate all my customers. Here’s a sample of my June kit: This fun summer card (or various versions of it)…
