It’s almost time to say so long to See A Silhouette. I love this paper, but when I first got it I went “ooooo!” then “but what will I do with it?!” Did you have that same reaction? After a while I realized that using it in small chunks on…
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…
Today I’ve combined Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper with Soft Spring Stamp Set to make a deep, rich, dark vibe. Maybe there’s a storm brewing as often happens in the spring! I’m calling it Perennial Essence Spring. If you’ve been following my series, you know that I’m taking each of…
I haven’t met a child yet who isn’t fascinated with dinosaurs. This Dinoroar Designer Series Paper is the next one featured in my walk back through the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. It is perfect for children (of all ages!) and today I’ve made one to welcome a new great niece. I…
Today I am continuing my look back at the Designer Series Papers in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog, and have come to pages 72-74, the Pressed Petals Suite. I have used this paper several times in my card making, which I will refer to later, but today I thought I would…
Continuing my walk through the 2019-20 Annual Catalog, I’ve come to the Follow Your Art Suite of products. I have enjoyed this Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper for sending cards to my fellow stampers, decorating gift boxes, and making 3-D projects. Now it’s on the Last Chance Product List…
Let’s take one more look at Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. This beautiful paper is still available to purchase but won’t be around for much longer. On June 2, 2020, it will be gone, along with all of the Designer Series Papers that we have enjoyed for the past year.…
I’ve been working my way through the 2019-20 Annual Catalog, taking the Designer Series Papers and showcasing each one in a new way before they retire on June 2nd. Today I want to put the spotlight on Magnolia Lane. This is an old technique that I’ve revisited, and I thought…
I’m taking a walk through the 2019-20 Annual Catalog and getting another look at the beautiful Designer Series Papers before they are gone. Yesterday I shared a new card I made using Woven Threads. If you missed it, you can see it here. Today I have pulled out Noble Peacock…
The Last Chance Product List has been released and all of the Designer Series Paper that we have enjoyed all year is about to retire. So today I thought I’d give another look at Woven Threads. It has been marked down to $4.60/pack! You may want to grab another one…

This is a brand new stamp set for me. I’ve been eyeing it since the Mini Catalog came out in January, but finally made the purchase. It’s called Beautifully Braided and comes bundled with the Braided Punch. I didn’t get the punch, so I can’t give you an opinion on…
This week’s TGIF Challenge was to make a card with a Belly Band. I took out my new stamp set and made an Ornate Style Gate Fold card! Here’s the banner for the challenge: and here’s the stamp set that got me started: I took the large flower image and…
I love the Witty-cisms Stamp Set for its clever sentiments and small whimsical images! This one with the saguaro cactus is one of my favorites. My parents retired to the Arizona desert after spending a number of years in snowy Michigan. They had a saguaro in their yard that threw…
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.…
