Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge! Today we have a color combo of Cloud Cover, Cajun Craze, and Petal Pink. I made a simple, graphic card that might be called a fractured card, a puzzle card, or a stained glass window card. I’m calling it a Remarkable…
Today we have a sketch challenge at Create with Stamping Friends. It’s a square card today. I love a square card! It’s just a little unexpected, and if you make it 4-1/4″x 4-1/4″ it will fit into one of our medium envelopes. Here’s the challenge: And here’s my card: This…
You Are Remarkable is the stamp set that I used for Class Card #3 during my class last week. We used a stamp positioning tool to fill in the outlined design, which came out perfectly! Directions: Pumpkin Pie Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″ Flowering Zinnias DSP (sold out…
This week we have a sketch challenge at Create With Stamping Friends! I love a good sketch ~ one that you can interpret different ways. I took this sketch and “saw” the embroidery hoop being the center point with “You Inspire Me” as my sentiment. Here’s the sketch: And here’s…
Here’s a pretty little faith-based card that would be perfect for Easter or to anyone needing some hope! It uses the all-new Lovely Garden DSP. This Designer Series Paper is from the newly released Online Exclusives. It’s called Lovely Garden and was quickly my favorite! Here’s a peek at all…
We have a color challenge for this final Thursday in February. Today we are using Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, and Cajun Craze. I found two of these colors in my Storybook Moments DSP. The third color works well for a frame! Here’s the challenge board: And here’s my card: Is…
I love coffee! I can’t wait to get up in the morning and hit the “brew” button! So I made this card for my husband, who knows my morning coffee routine. This will mean a lot to him! ❤️ He is the best part of my day! (right after my…
Welcome to our July edition of CASEing Coast to Coast! Are you new to CC2C? Each month Rosanne Mulhern (Pennsylvania) and I (California) challenge each other to make a card that fits a prescribed theme. This month I chose the theme “The Great Outdoors.” We begin on the West Coast…
Here’s another pack of Designer Series Paper that I haven’t used yet. It’s Mediterranean Blooms ~ pretty with hand-painted oranges and lemons. I did not buy the stamp set/die bundle (although I’m not sure why, as it’s very nice!) so I hadn’t dipped into the DSP yet. To keep with…
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is See How My Garden Grows. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. There’s nothing prettier than…
I’m going with Textured Floral for this sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary this week. Here’s the sketch ~ And here’s my card~ Textured Floral has a beautiful watercolor-like assortment of blooms and leaves. It’s a classic floral. It’s been around for awhile but I’ve rarely used it…
We are back to our regular color/sketch rotation at Create With Connie & Mary for August, and first up is a color challenge. I’ve colored the images in Courage & Faith to follow this combination: Here’s my card: This is my first time to use the Courage & Faith Stamp…
We have passed the mid-point of April and we have just about a week and 1/2 left to show products from the 2022-23 Annual and the January-April Mini Catalogs! Rosanne suggested that we take this month to showcase some of the retiring items from these catalogs for CASEing Coast To…
This week at Create With Connie & Mary we have a color challenge! The combination of Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, and Old Olive brought one specific pack of DSP to my mind, and that is ~ Rain or Shine! This jaunty little fox with his pink umbrella and yellow slicker…
Last fall I went up north to watch my youngest daughter compete in a cyclo-cross event. If you haven’t heard of this sport, you’re not alone. I hadn’t either until she started competing in them. It’s basically a bicycle race on a short but harrowing course of hills, pits, water,…
