Happy Monday, y’all! Well – today’s the day! On to the ship we go! Whoo-hoo!!
While I’m embarking and unpacking, here’s a quick and easy and pretty birthday card for you to make! It’s got pretty flowers and a sentiment from the Lily of the Valley bundle and just a touch of gingham from the coordinating Valley in Bloom DSP! And – a little two-toned cardstock, too! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday! We’ve been having a nice visit around the peninsula – went up to Sequim and to Port Angeles. Took some detours here and there – generally played tourist! It’s been really nice! I hope your week has been going as well as ours!
Today’s card is from one of my fave Suites – the Moonlit Flora suite. The gorgeous paper with the same name and all the die cuts and images and sentiments from the Fern & Flora bundle just make me happy! I also used the Perennial Postage set – which is ALSO one of my faves! Take 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 the Bloom Boutique suites for this week’s hop – the color challenge demanded it of me – and turned it all into a pretty thank you card. I used both of the bundles in the set – the Boutique Blossoms for the stamped and die cut foliage AND the Scalloped Blooms stamp set for the sentiments. Take a look-see:
Good morning everyone! Welcome to this month’s Fun Fold Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?
I went back to a fun fold that I really like – it’s got two of my fave things – a book fold AND a gate card. It’s called – cleverly enough! – a book fold gate card. I know! Innovative! This one I decorated with the cool looking (and feeling!) Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP! And I added a pretty floral (or three!) from the Garden Gatherings bundle! Take a look-see!
Good Monday morning, y’all! Well – the day is finally here! We’re on our way West! Whoo-hoo!
Today’s card – coincidentally – brings me to the waterside – to a Waterside Retreat, in fact!! I hope there ARE Adirondack chairs where we’re headed! The Relaxing Waterside bundle DOES have them and it looks great and like right-where-I-hope-to-be soon!! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We’re just crossing off all the last minute things – oh, and treating Wayne’s poison ivy on his arms and back of his neck. He had to spend WAAY too many hours yesterday trying to get into an urgent care to get some meds. Poor guy! 🫤
Today’s card uses a super cute new bundle from the May-Aug 2026 Catalog – it’s called Safari Smiles and…it’s NOT just for kids! At least – I don’t think it is! I paired it with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder and some . Take 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 sketch 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 decided to play a bit with the sketch and turn it into a fun fold. A super SUPER simple one! But – I gave it a little extra sumpin’ sumpin’ by using the cool black and white Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – and doing a little fussy cutting! Additionally, I pulled the All Aflutter stamp set to make this pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Monday! Hope y’all had a great weekend and came thru any weather unscathed! The middle of the country is really taking a beating these past few weeks! :). We’ve been fortunate so far – and I have my fingers crossed that we have a pretty uneventful tornado season!
Today’s card goes back to some old faves – starting with Nature Walk DSP (now an Online Exclusive) and the Gears & Textures bundle (which found its way into the new May-Aug 2026 Catalog!) to make a cool masculine card. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! We’re half way thru the weekend – hope yours is going well – and is fun. Or productive. Or…better by far…BOTH! 🙂
Today’s card is from a pretty little bundle that you might well have missed. It’s in your catalog – but…the stunning Lily of the Valley suite precedes it – and…your eyes may have been too dazzled to see it! Go back and check for the Life in Bloom bundle! It’s really a memory-keeping/scrapbooking set but…I think our card today will let you see that…it’s not JUST for scrapbooking! Especially when paired with it’s showy friend – the Valley in Bloom DSP! Take a look-see:
Well – here we are! Friday! Whoo-hooo! I’ve got a busy day – I’m taking the kids to daycare today so they can remember what being there is like – and then I’m headed north for a hair cut! Which, given traffic in Atlanta – is almost a full day’s exercise!! And – is it my fault there’s a JJill right there by the hair salon?! No. No it is not! 😉
Today’s card is a look at a bundle I hadn’t used as of yet – the Opulent Oasis bundle! It’s one of our new Impressions bundle – with a big, pretty die designed to be used with our new Impressions Plate! I didn’t use that one on this card – I only needed some images and foliage die cuts to go along with the pretty Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP! Take a look-see:
