Hello friends! It’s Thursday, so another Create with Stamping Friends day! This week we have a sketch challenge and I paired the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle with Beautiful Bokeh DSP, making a Bokeh Butterfly card. Here’s the sketch: And here’s my card: Isn’t that butterfly stunning? This bundle is a…
🥳 Happy New Year! 🥳 It’s 2025 (unbelievable!) and today starts a new year of crafting and creating. I’m excited to show you one of the new products coming out on January 7 with the new Mini Catalog. It’s called Beautiful Butterflies. It is a hybrid bundle – one…
Do you “borrow” ideas from other card designers? We call that CASEing a card, and it’s a wonderful way to jumpstart your creativity. I CASEd this card idea from one I saw on Jaimie Babarczy’s blog. Hers was a fun fold and I adapted it to make a regular A2…
I am quite enamored with these angled gatefold cards! I made a “test” with some older Christmas paper (see below) and had some leftover paper, so I decided to make this sweet Butterfly Kisses angled gatefold. If you are interested in trying one, I’m going to refer you to You…
Today is for Gina K! Every once in awhile I like to join in on some other manufacturers’ card challenges, and today is one of those days. Gina K is someone I greatly admire and she puts out beautiful products. I found a July card challenge on her blog: black…

I know it’s only January, and Spring probably feels very far off. But Spring just leaps off the pages of this new catalog! Abstract Beauty 4″x 6″ DSP has lots of pinks and greens, something I associate with Spring. So when I saw this bokeh print in Just Jade and…
Welcome to our March edition of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne Mulhern (from PA) and I (from CA) take turns creating and CASEing projects to inspire you! This month Rosanne started us off with this beautiful card and treat box, using Spring as the theme. So pretty! I love…
I’ve missed these butterflies! They are from Butterfly Gala and have been in our catalog for awhile now. When new things come out, we tend to overlook the older good stuff. Such was the case with this one, but I still love it as much as ever! It’s a butterfly…
Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. This month we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Pals Blog Hop with “Critters” from the…
Today I’m CASEing – myself! – with the layout that I showed you on Wednesday. It’s a simple and fun layout that you can do so many different things with. On this card I’ve used Beauty Abounds. My background paper is another beauty from Best Dressed 6″x 6″ DSP. I…
Happy Friday! Can’t believe it is coming up on another weekend already. I hope you have some fun plans scheduled! Today I have two cards to share with you, both highlighting a new Designer Series Paper called See A Silhouette. The name really goes with the stamp set, with its…
Beauty Abounds on this card… and in my beautiful friend, Carolyn. She will be receiving this card soon. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ve heard me speak of Carolyn. She is my amazing 93 year old friend, who up until recently was leading worship in our Community Bible…
Perhaps you’ve heard that the Stampin’ Up! Retiring List for 2019 is out. I’ll have that list posted for you down below. And perhaps you love your circle punches as much as I do…sadly some of these are on the Retiring List! The 3/4″, the 1-1/4″, and the 1-3/4″ Circle…
This card is almost noisy! Ha! It is definitely on the wild side. True confessions: I had a pant suit in the mid-60’s that looked very much like this paper! Yes, I was a groovy 60’s chick 🙂 I will be very interested to hear your impressions…of the card, that…
