This week I am going to attempt to enter each card I make into a challenge of one kind or another! These challenges provide a great jumping-off point if you are stuck in the creative process. They give you focus and a place to start. I’m going to start today…
We’ve come to the end of the week! All week I’ve shown you cards made with our five new In Colors: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock, and now Summer Splash. This color is such a pretty aqua tone. It’s warmer than last year’s Tahitian Tide, but…
This week on Create with Stamping Friends we have a sketch challenge. I’m showcasing the new In Colors this week and I’m up to Shy Shamrock today. This design would look beautiful in each of the new In Colors! Here’s our sketch ~ And here’s my card ~ I love…
As you may have noticed, I’m featuring each of the new 2024-2026 Stampin’ Up! In Colors this week ~ five colors in five days. Today is our third color, Pretty in Pink. This used to be part of the color collections back when I was brand new to Stampin’ Up!…
When thinking about the name “Petunia Pop” I couldn’t help but think of a pop-up card! Petunia Pop is one of our 5 new In Colors for the years 2024-2026. It’s a very purply pink, just a bit darker than Fresh Freesia. So I’ve made a Petunia Pop Pop-Up card.…
Happy Monday! This week I’m going to be showing off the new In Colors! Conveniently, there are 5 colors to show in 5 days. Don’t you love it when things work out evenly? 😁 Today I’m starting with Peach Pie with Sentimental Park. For some reason this color just reads…
Yay, our new Catalog is up and running! I’m sure, if you follow other blogs, you have heard that our 2024-25 Annual Catalog went live yesterday. If you haven’t seen a catalog yet, I have a digital copy on the right side bar of my blog. If you are reading…
Hello! Today at Create with Stamping Friends, we have a color challenge. Pecan, Lemon, and Lagoon sounds like A Little Latte DSP to me! So that’s the route I went with my card. I thought this sentiment from So Sincere went perfectly with a couple of coffee mugs. Here is…
This week at Create With Stamping Friends, we have a sketch challenge. I saw that circle and my thoughts went straight to A Little Latte DSP! While putting it together, I discovered that the Latte papers go very nicely with Country Lace DSP (coming out on May 1)! So I…
I’m very excited to show you one of the new stamp & die bundles coming out on May 1! It’s called Country Birdhouse and I absolutely love it! There are many techniques you can do with this set, but for my first card, I decided to stick with simple coloring.…
Get a bird’s eye view of the little owl in Bird’s Eye View! It has so much personality! This stamp set is carrying over into the new Annual Catalog, so we have another year to create with this cutie! I have a teacher in the family who is having a…
Happy Saturday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. I have a quick post today. After watching Julie DiMatteo’s video, I made her Angled Tri-fold Card. This is perfect for my special friend who is all about everything purple! I secretly think this Lavender DSP was designed with…
Happy Thursday! We are back with a Color Challenge at Create with Stamping Friends this week. This was a fun one, because we got to pick the colors we wanted to use! The only “must do” was to make it sparkle 🤩 Here’s our challenge board ~ And here’s my…
This month our cross-country journey begins in Pennsylvania where Rosanne has been playing with our Retiring In Colors from 2022-2024. We’ll take a look at her card, then be transported back to California where I’ve also created a card with our Retiring In Colors. Enjoy the journey! How clever is…
