Mornin’, y’all! Hope your week is going well!
I’ve got a pretty little note card for you today, that uses a new Host-Exclusive stamp set from the 2019 Occasions catalog, called Just Because. And you’ll be able to purchase it with Stampin’ Rewards starting on 3 Jan! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s FabFriday sketch challenge.
I started with some Festive Farmhouse DSP and embossed it in the Pinewood Planks Dynamic TIEF, then matted it on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock for the card front.
I used the Leaf Punch to make some Vellum and Copper Foil Leaves, which I adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the pretty image/sentiment (all one stamp!) from the Just Because Host-exclusive set (coming on 3 Jan 19) in Early Espresso Ink.
I colored the image with my Old Olive and Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencils.
I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat with Liquid Glue and popped it over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the heart, I colored a new Heart Epoxy Droplet (in the Occasions catalog – available 3 Jan) with my Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend. The bow is a simple little number made of Linen Thread – which I adhered with a dab of Liquid Glue and the card front was done!
On the inside, I inked just the flower pot portion of the Just Because stamp in Crumb Cake ink, stamped it off THREE times and then stamped it in the middle of a Very Vanilla panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Early Espresso card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Just Because flower pot on the front – stamped in Early Espresso and colored with the Watercolor Pencils…
…and I added a little more Festive Farmhouse DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This Just Because Host stamp set is really wonderful, y’all! Hope you like!
Once it comes available in January, you’ll be able to pick this Host set using Stampin’ Rewards – which you’ll earn when you host a workshop that reaches $150 or if you place an individual order of $150 or more! If you’ve just added this set to your wish list, let me know.

Finn Fan Fix
Finn is a wonderful conversationalist.
Seriously. He understands everything I’m asking of him and responds appropriately.
For example: “Finn! What’s that noise?”
As opposed to: “Finn – where’s your dad?”
“Want a cookie!??”
“Need to go outside?”
See what I mean? Total intra-species communication!

Pretty card Mary! Love the woodgrain background. Perfect colors too! Ha! You and Finn definitely have that intra-species communication thing down.
Yes – it’s almost like a mind-meld. Which would be…which franchise, Miss Amy?!? 😉 Thanks much! 🙂
You really do make me laugh…you and your little dog too 🙂 Love the card btw. Have a great day.
I’ve achieved my goal!! A smile or a laugh – boom! Thanks, Karen – you, too! 🙂
Definitely intra-species…and introspective! Have a similar communicator out to Colorado. Between that and the incessant barking, Clara is definitely communicating…with all the other baskets. I am sure she/they will let me know well in advance of a Sasquatch incursion?
Oh a leaf blower. Those are definitely suspect! Thanks, Mom! 🙂
Another stamp set I would have overlooked! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Easy to miss the Host sets, for sure! But this is NOT one you’re going to want to fly-over! Thanks much, Sharon! 🙂
That is such a cute set! I love the coloring and the neutral die cut leaves behind the main panel. Great thinking of you card! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Thanks, much, Amanda! I love this set – all the images and sentiments are really really nice! Appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
So pretty, Mary – I can tell I’m going to need that set, lol. Love your coloring – so fresh! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Thanks, Heather – it’s a really really nice set!! 🙂
