Welcome to our June posting of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne in Pennsylvania is taking the lead this month. She has selected a card sketch for us to use as inspiration for our cards. I hope this inspires you to try one as well! Here’s the sketch ~ And…
Have any of you put “ride in a hot air balloon” on your birthday bucket list? I see these beautiful balloons float by every so often, and I think I would enjoy a birthday balloon ride. It seems like it would be so peaceful, drifting up there, looking down at…
It’s Thursday, and I’m back with Create With Stamping Friends! This week we have a color challenge. When looking at these colors, I was pretty sure I would be making a floral card. I landed on Transluscent Florals, mainly because I hadn’t used them in a while. Don’t you love…
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. 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. Since zinnias come…
I’m taking a slight departure from my usual all-Stampin’ Up! today, because I want to show you this “Flippin’ Fabulous” card I made for my friend who is moving to Pismo Beach, CA (lucky her!) This flip flop set is by Honey Bee Stamps and I adore it! Here are…
I’m “dipping” into Lily Pond Lane today. It’s my first time to even take a close look at this fun pack of paper! It’s a 6″x 6″ pad and one thing I love about it is that most of the sheets have a back side that pairs perfectly with the…
It’s a new month and we have a new summer banner at Create With Stamping Friends! We also have a new sketch challenge. And since Father’s Day is right around the corner, I’ve chosen Take to the Sky for my card. Here’s the sketch ~ And here’s my card ~…
This week I am embracing the Designer Series Papers that I haven’t used yet -or- perhaps not for a long while! Today is one I just cut into for the first time. It’s called Wildly Flowering and I’ve made it into a thank you card. Here’s my card ~ The…

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…
Hi! I’m giving you a handmade hug with Countryside Inn today! I’ve decided to challenge myself this week by using Designer Series Paper that I’ve never used or haven’t used for a long time. I’ll let the paper drive the design and I’m keeping it simple this week. Countryside Inn…
One more Frames & Flowers card for you. This one is super simple! From the lack of response to yesterday’s fun fold card, I’m guessing some of you prefer the easier cards to make! This one is for you! I simply took one of the frames that comes in the Frames…
This week I’ve been playing with the Designer Series Pack called Frames & Flowers. My first card HERE was a Get Well Card, my second HERE was a square “For You” Card. Today I’m showing you a Frames & Flowers Easel Card that has a birthday message. Take a look…
Hello again! It’s time for another Create with Stamping Friends challenge, this week a color challenge. I find the color challenges just a bit more difficult, simply because there are so many options that you can choose. I chose a Layers of Beauty anniversary card. Come take a look! Here’s…
Welcome back to my Frames & Flowers series! Today is #2. Yesterday I made a floral get well card. If you missed it, you can see it HERE. Today I’ve made a 4-1/4″ square card to house this pretty punch-out wreath for my sentiment. It’s Frames & Flowers for you!…
