Here’s the board: And here’s my Festive Cheer card: I went down the left vertical row with Ornament/Red/Christmas Sentiment and across the top horizontal row with Ornament/Gold/Snow – two ways! Do I get extra credit?!!!…
I’m showing you a fun fold card I made for this week’s Monday Mystery Stampin’. You may think, “Deja vu!” when you see it. I used the same paper, different card from earlier this week. Couldn’t help myself…I think this Country Cottage DSP is beautiful. It may not be the…
Welcome back to Create with Stamping Friends! Our November challenges begin with a sketch. I’m using Alpine Winter DSP to feature pinecones on this square card.

I have a sympathy card to share with you today that I made using Prayers & Promises and some new paper. This fancy fold was part of Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Stampin’ last week. Even though I wasn’t able to join in last week, I knew I wanted to try it…
Happy Halloween from the pumpkin patch! This week at Create with Stamping Friends we have a color challenge. While you might not think Secret Sea, Pool Party, and Timid Tiger sound like Halloween colors, the Painted Patch Suite Collection says differently! Here’s our challenge board: And here’s my pumpkin patch:…
Have you been enjoying the Painted Pumpkins bundle this season? I love this set – possibly my favorite Fall set to date! This card is for my grandson who has an October birthday. I think he is going to love the interactive feature this card includes! Here’s a look at…
This week at Create with Stamping Friends we have a sketch challenge. While I often take these sketch challenges very literally, this time I stretched my creative license just a little bit. You’ll see what I mean… I pulled out a Christmas DSP that I hadn’t used yet, Creative Celebrations…
Wow, a lot happens when you’re gone! I just got back to California from a fantastic trip to the UK. We packed in a lot of the sites in London – didn’t see everything we wanted to, but caught several highlights. The second half of our trip was a train…
Greetings from California with Fall Florals for our October Creating Coast to Coast! This month we begin with Rosanne’s card. She comes to us from Pennsylvania and called our theme this month.

Welcome back to Create with Stamping Friends! This week we have a color challenge ~ Cajun Craze, Golden Glow, and Old Olive. I used the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle to make my card. I loved the look so much that I did a slightly different version for my recent card class…
We have a slimline card sketch this week at Create with Stamping Friends! I rarely think about making slimline cards, but they are wonderful for the extra room inside to sign. I’ve made a Sunflower Fields slimline card that will be a get well card for a friend who recently…

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…
