Good morning – happy Tuesday! I hope your week is going well!

Yesterday was my last Zoom the Craftroom for January (hard to believe but…there you have it!) and, as we talked and chatted and shared projects and the things going on in our lives – I made today’s card! I pulled a few goodies off the shelf – and out of my cabinet drawers and Creative Crates – to do it! The stars of the show are the gorgeous Perennial Lavender DSP and some pretty Paper Butterfly Accents flitting about. The Hills of Tuscany stamp set is a strong supporting actor! Take a look-see:

Posted on January 28, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Happy Half-Weekend. Hope it’s going well for you – we’ve been…soggy. It’s rained off and on (more ON than OFF!) for the last three days. And it’s JUST warm enough to not need a lot of jacket but just COOL enough to need something. Put the hoody on – take the hoody off – put the hoody on….sheesh!

To be clear – I’ll take this all day long over 13 degrees!! 🥶

My card today uses all the pieces and parts of the stunning Enduring Beauty bundle – the stamps – the dies – and the amazing builder masks! With the addition of some Poetic Expressions DSP and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing – it made for a beautiful card. Take a look-see:
