I always think it’s fun to see cards that others have made, so today I’m sharing some of the birthday cards that I received in the mail from my very dear friends! There really is nothing like a handmade card, something that has been thoughtfully made just for you. It’s…
This week at Create With Stamping Friends, we have a fun sketch challenge! After yesterday’s garden theme at the Pals Blog Hop, I was into it! I used Flowering Zinnias DSP, Simply Zinnia Stamp Set for the sentiment, and Garden Meadow Stamp Set for the images. Here’s our sketch: And…
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…
Today I have FOUR projects to share with you! All four feature the cute photopolymer stamp set, Silly Goose. It’s on the Last Chance List, and I’m hoping to convince you that you need it…’cause it is very cute! 😊 AND it’s marked down 50% as of today for $12.50! Grab…
Yay! It’s time to reserve your Product Share for the new 2024-2026 Annual Catalog! Each year, when a new catalog comes out, I invite you to share the new papers and ribbons with me. I divide each product into 4 shares, so you get the opportunity to sample a bit…
I rounded up four of my favorite products that are on the Last Chance List. They will be retired as of May 1. If by any chance you don’t have these yet, I would highly recommend them, as I’ve used mine a lot! Retiring Soon: Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp…
Our group has a new name! Create With Connie & Mary will now be called Create With Stamping Friends! Thanks for joining us today! Today at Create With Stamping Friends we have a color challenge, and quite a challenge this was! Two very bright colors with one pastel… OK, looks…
This birthday card is for a very good friend of ours. We spend time at the beach with him and his wife each year. They both have paddle boards and we have a lot of fun on the water. I altered the surfboards from Beach Day to look more like…
I’m wondering… Do you have lots of old DSP like I do? Here we are, about to usher in a new catalog with some new beautiful DSP (of which I will want all!) But wait! I haven’t used up most of the old stuff! Time to brainstorm ~ how can…
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…
Today’s card spotlights 4 of the retiring In Colors ~ Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide, and Starry Sky. It’s all in this beautiful galactic DSP called Stargazing. Stargazing will be retiring April 30th along with those In Colors, but you can still get some if you hurry! Click HERE…
Parakeet Party is one of the 2022-24 In Colors that’s about to retire. Too bad, because it is such a happy color! Let me show you one more card to lift you up with Zoo Crew ~ It’s almost an electric green, and it goes so well with Basic Black…
The Last Chance Product Lists for the two current catalogs are out! And with every turn-over of Annual Catalogs we lose 5 beloved In Colors. This time I am particularly sad because I love each of the five that are soon to be “extinct!” Yep, overly dramatic! 🥲 But Starry…
This will be my final post using Excellent Eggs this week and I decided to create a Fun Fold! This is known as a Vertical Joy Fold Card. Most of the Joy Folds I’ve made in the past open horizontally, but this opens up and down. It’s a Friday Fun…
