Good morning and happy happy HAWWWWWP DAY!!! It’s Wednesday and it’s ALSO the final day to get our kits at up to 30% off – including brand NEW ones! Boom!
Today’s card is a sneak peek at TWO new bundles, a new Designer Series Paper and a new Embossing Folder! These are goodies in the November Online Exclusives and available NOW to demonstrators (even to new demos filling up their Starter Kits!) and on 4 November to customers! It’s got the Swirled Designs die bundle – an all image set – and the Banner Sayings punch bundle – an all sentiments set! I paired them together to make this birthday card – atop some new Hobby Haven Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
Morning, y’all – welcome back to the week! Hope it’s a good one for all y’all!
My card today puts pine boughs front and center – from the new Branching OutBundle! Along with the stamped boughs – this bundle also includes a DIE CUT bough and some truly amazing nested label dies! I put all of it atop a piece of Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP. Tale a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
i pulled out a really cool new stamp set – it’s sort of a background stamp but ALSO sort of six SEPARATE stamps! It’s the Petal Arrangements set – and it’s coming on 3 Sept in the new Sep – Dec 2025 Mini Catalog! Since there’s not a sentiment in the set – I turned it into a birthday card with a couple sentiments from the Simply Said stamp set – available right now! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmwp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well – but…if it’s not…rest easy in the knowledge that we’re over the hump and headed into the weekend! Yeah!
Now – if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that my trip to Maui a few years ago made a HUGE impression on me. I love it there – it IS my Happy Place! So – when I saw the new stamp set with that name AND with a beachy theme – I was 100% IN. I used it today to make a clean and simple birthday card. Take a look-see:
Happy Half-weekend, y’all! Hope you’re having a good one so far! I DID, in fact, get all my new pre-order goodies separated out – and labeled – and put away yesterday! And – I was even cleaned up in time for my video. If you’re interested, I’ve uploaded labels for the stamp sets. dies, embossing folders and punches – they’re super helpful for keeping track of what’s what! – into my Online Shop!
At my pre-order reveal video on Friday, the consensus among the folks watching live was that the new Branching Out bundle (new in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini) should be the project for yesterday’s video. So…that’s what I used! Along with some pretty new Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP (coming soon as a new Online Exclusive) – I made a super pretty birthday card. Tale a look-see:
Good morning and happy August! Whoo-hoo! Surely this means we’re in the final HOOTTT days and soon it will be FALL! Speaking of…I got a peek at the new Mini Catalog AND the new Online Exclusives (both coming to you guys in Sept) – and there are some really pretty Fall and Winter goodies that you’re going to want to play with! 🙂
Today’s card is summery and..hopefully!…will make you feel cool and refreshed! It features the Online Exclusive Celebratory Sips suite – with the Cheers & Sips bundle and pretty DSP of the same name! All on a SUPER cool fun fold – called a Double Lower Gate Fold. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Are you having a good weekend? Hope so!
Thanks for your patience last night – between the storms rolling thru and a pretty lame pony – there was a LOT going on all at once! We did keep power thru it all – it flickered pretty hard a few times but…managed to hang in there. I appreciate y’all being so understanding as I rushed off of YouTube!
My card today is one last sneak peek of a new product that you’ll be able to get SOON – like…day after tomorrow! Yep – on 1 July – all the new Online Exclusives that I’ve been teasing you with these past weeks will be AVAILABLE for YOU to order! Whoo-hoo! While you’re at it – you MIGHT want to add the cute Tractor & Co bundle. Cuz…it’s a ton of fun! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope this week is treating you right! 🙂
So…I’ve been trying to beat Wayne to the mailbox this past week or so. Why!? Cuz…it’s been filled each day with Happy Happy HAPPY Mail! Y’all have been so generous with your beautiful Birthday Wishes. I just can’t thank you enough for all the smiles and cheer you’ve given me!
I wanted to show off all y’all’s creative talents. And…you know…let everyone share the fun! So…here we go!
Well – good morning! It’s Friday again – yeah!! Hope you’ve had a wunnermus week! 🙂 And that you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend!
My card today is one that’s right in my wheelhouse – lots of layers – and textures – and foliage! It’s all from the Charming Day stamp set and bundled dies, with Need for Tweed DSP setting the stage! Those are BOTH coming to you on 1 July 2025. Take a look-see:
I started by adhering a piece of new Need for Tweed DSP to the front of a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
Using the third-from-largest Textured Notes die, I cut a Basic Beige rectangle. I wanted a longer, narrow rectangle so…using Paper Snips – I cut it in half.
I adhered the two pieces of the rectangle to the card front with Liquid Glue – making sure they were aligned with each other – and about the same distance from each end of the card front.
Using the second-from-largest Textured Notesdie, I cut out a Pecan Pie cardstock rectangle. This one I embossed in the amazing Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – and adhered with Liquid Glue.
I went back to the smaller third-from-largest Textured Notesdie to cut out a piece of Need for Tweed DSP – which I adhered (at an angle) with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Charming Days dies, I cut out two leaves from Old Olive, a flower (flower on a single stem with leaves die) from Old Olive and the same flower again from Petal Pink cardstock. Using Paper Snips, I cut the flower from the top of the Petal Pink die cut flower and adhered it to the Old Olive Flower.
Then I adhered all three die cuts to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used two lengths of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine to tie a bow and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock, I stamped the Charming Days sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. I cut it out with the next-to-smallest Textured Notes die and adhered it over the bow with double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added five Basic Beige Neutral Matte Dots and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the single flower image from the Charming Day set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic Beige panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Charming Day flower on the front…
…and more of the Need for Tweed DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oooooh – this card! I love the contrast of the delicate die cut foliage from Charming Day with the texture from the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the Need for Tweed DSP, don’t you?! I know you’ve got the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and Textured Notes Dies already. I mean…you DO, right?! 🤔 And I’m really excited for you to get the new Online Exclusives in July!
I hope you like!
