I really like this new In Color, Cinnamon Cider. The name fits it perfectly as that is the exact color. I have a simple card for you today. It’s super easy to recreate. It is simply Cinnamon! The base card is Cinnamon Cider Cardstock. I topped it with the print…
Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our theme is the “new 2020-2022 In Colors.” The Design Team is showcasing the new family of in colors from the new catalog. We know you will love them as much as we do! At the end of my…
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the new products in this new 2020 Annual Catalog seem to have tons of texture. For example, this Designer Series Paper, called In Good Taste, is loaded with visual texture. When looking at it, you almost think you could feel the texture. I…
The Blossoms in Bloom made a great study in black & white! I can’t say that I’ve ever done a card without some additional color, and I really think this set makes it work! It’s a Puzzle! First I cut the thinner of the two dies from Basic Black.…
Today is my ninth in a series of cards using Designer Series Papers from the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. If you are just now finding me, you may want to take a look back at the previous eight posts. I’m walking through the catalog and making one new project with each…

I gave my team members a Stamping Habit Team Challenge! Their assignment was to make cards using packs of papers that I sent them. I didn’t give them any rules other than to use the paper that I sent. They each made cards, photographed them, and sent me the pictures.…
Good Morning! I hope you all had a beautiful Easter weekend and were able to celebrate in unique ways in your own home. I realized that it has been a long time since I’ve pulled out my Good Morning Magnolia set. So, I thought I would revisit these beautiful stamps…
One thing that has helped me cope with this whole “sheltering-in-place” order is getting out for a (solo) walk through the neighborhood. I have my phone camera ready and look for opportunities to shoot nature photos that bring me joy. We live in a town called Granite Bay. It is…
How is everyone faring? I trust you all are “sheltering in place,” as we Californians have been told to do! I suppose that is really the only way we are going to stop Mr. CV! Thank God for this craft of ours to keep our brains creatively working! So join…
I love the Poppy Parade color in Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Poppies DSP, but the native state flower in California is really more of a Pumpkin Pie color. Here is a photo from our front yard, showing a CA Poppy bloom: This vibrant orange and green is breathtaking. I had to…
Here is a rare Saturday post from me to you. I couldn’t wait… It was so exciting to see that this week’s challenge on Festive Friday included rainbows! I had started this card Thursday night, not knowing exactly what I was going to do with it. I only knew I…
Growing up in Hawaii (our tropical oasis) back in the 60’s was a LOT of fun! This paper is so nostalgic. It wasn’t uncommon to see these “Woodies” driving through Kailua town with a surfboard hanging out the open back window. It was beachy, and hip, and well… cool! And…
“Thinking of you with all my heart” is one of the perfect sentiment stamps that you’ll find in Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again…I love the mix of fonts in this stamp set! For this card, I’ve used a floral stamp from Painted…
Notes of encouragement don’t have to be super fancy or elaborate. This quick note card was simple and fast, yet quite pretty with the Scalloped Note Card and Envelope set. I chose the blue notecard to go with the Bird Ballad DSP that I picked. Then I cropped the bird…
