Good morning everyone and welcome to the Fun Folds 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 saw a really cute side-step fun fold created by Laura Krauss and decided to do my own spin on it! Both our cards feature the Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies, with an assist from the Rain or Shine Specialty DSP! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is “Celebrate Spring”! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I figured that few things say “Spring” more than a pretty stamp set with “Spring” right in the name – so…out came the Spring Blessings stamp set! I added some Balmy Blue Country Gingham DSP and…used the beautiful new Online Exclusive Elegant Borders dies to add some sweet fun. Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwmp Day! Have you recovered from the switch to Daylight Savings Time? I’m all happy at night but the mornings are still sort of a booger! I DID see on the news last night that Congress has made Daylight Savings “permanent”. Not sure what that means, but…I HOPE it means that the Spring Forward Fall Back mnemonic will be obsolete soon! Fingers crossed.
I know that y’all are working on Easter Cards, so…I thought I’d bring another idea to you today! The gorgeous Daffodil Daydream bundle – with the Daffodil Dies – is a perfect choice. Take a look-see:
Mornin’, y’all! How goes your week? We’re enjoying a little warm-snap – which is lovely. Wayne’s been working up a storm and has 11 of our 12 new barn roll-up doors on – which will be AWESOME – cuz…supposed to be back down into the high 20’s on Thursday! 😉
I have a clean-and-simple card for you today.
I know – I know. Not at all what you expect from me, right? Well – hang on, cuz…I think you’ll like it as much as I do. It perfectly showcases the gorgeous Berry Blessings Bundle – which you can get for FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order (not including shipping & tax). Take a look-see:
See? Summer-on-a-card! 🙂
The layout is an interesting one from the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.
This is a PERFECT little card to use up scraps that you’ve got sitting around. And your Stamparatus if you wanted to make multiples! 🙂
I started by cutting a piece of the Berry Delightful DSP into three 1/2″ wide strips. Then I matted each of them on 5/8″ wide Granny Apple Green. These started out at about 4″ – and then got trimmed down.
I pulled out a Basic White panel and arranged my three matted-strips in place – keeping them in order so the pattern would match up. Then, using them as reference, I stamped the Berry Blessings sentiment in Poppy Parade.
I adhered the matted strips in place with Liquid Glue. Then, using my Paper Trimmer – I cut the excess off the right side of the panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green mat.
And….uhm….the card front was done! 😉
On the inside, I used Granny Apple Green to stamp the outline leaves images from Berry Blessings, then filled them with Granny Apple Green. I also stamped a couple of stems. Then I added Poppy Parade berry outlines and fills.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and into my Poppy Parade card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Berry Blessings berries and leaves on the front…
…and more of the wunnermus Berry Delightful DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! There is truly NOTHING to not-love about this amazing Berry Blessings Bundle, right? It’s really stunning – with the Berry Delightful DSP bringing summer cheer to all your projects!!
I hope you like and are figuring how to add this bundle to your stash (if you haven’t already!).

Finn doesn’t always get on the sofa.
Well – not when I’m on it. He’s almost always on it in the morning. 😉
But, the other night, he hopped up and – apparently – had something he wanted to discuss.
But – it turned out all he really wanted to do was “help” me work on my blog! 🙂
Looks like he approves of my card!

Good Friday morning, y’all! It’s day 498 of Social Distancing.
Not really – just sort of feels like it is, doesn’t it?? It’s really starting to get real – another 30 days?? AND – Georgia just followed other states by issuing a Stay Home Order starting today. Good idea – it’s NECESSARY. But…I feel pretty confident that NO ONE will believe me when I whine that having my house cleaned (and not by me!)….IS essential!
And now you know. I AM a first-world-sissy-baby.
C’mon, Mare – you’ve got a house, and food, and electricity. The dog and cat and horses have food. Wayne can fix or cobble together anything we need. ZEWS 1 is on the job. We’re healthy – and getting to the two-weeks-since-we’ve-been-anywhere-so-surely-that-means-we’re-completely-healthy point. So…waaaaa.
Sorry. I’m over it now.
Since along with a house and power comes internet (Thank goodness!) I was able to go live yesterday on my YouTube channel. If you were able to join me – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
The card we made is a pretty – and pretty easy!! – Easter card, using the Easter Promise stamp set from the Jan – Jun Mini Catalog, a sweet Ornate Layers Die cut and some Pressed Petals Specialty DSP (2019-2020 Annual Catalog). Take a look-see:
The layout for this one came from the Mojo Monday challenge…I THINK you can see which sketch I used! 😉
And the Easter theme fits right into the Inspire. Create. Challenge!
I started with some of the pretty sheet music paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and matted it on So Saffron for the card front.
Next, with the long, narrow die from the new Ornate Layers Die Set, I cut a Purple Posy rectangle. I ran it thru the die cutting machine in the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Then, I matted a strip of wood-grain Pressed Petals Specialty DSP on So Saffron and adhered it over top with Liquid Glue.
I cut a Very Vanilla rectangle with the next-to-largest Stitched So Sweetly die and stamped the big Easter Promise sentiment in Mossy Meadow.
Next to it – also in Mossy Meadow – I added the floral spray.
I colored the flowers with my Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Combo and the stems with my Light Mossy Meadow Blend.
Then I popped the panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used a Glue Dot to adhere a Linen Thread double-loop bow, which I topped with a purple Frosted Flower Embellishment and a Champagne Rhinestone. And that was it for the card front.
Speaking of Glue Dots, though…
Other side of the room by my photo box. No. Clue. Why. 🤷♀️
Anywho….
For the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Easter Promise in Mossy Meadow on a Very Vanilla panel. I added the flowers, in Mossy Meadow, again in the corner, coloring them as I’d done on the front.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a So Saffron mat and into my Purple Posy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got more Easter Promises flowers on the front…
…and more Pressed Petals Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Spring and Easter all rolled up in one! Don’t let the Easter Promise stamp set – with it’s elegant flowers and simple sentiments – pass you by! Easter is coming soon – and cards with messages of the hope of Easter are going to be especially welcome this year, I’m thinking!
I hope you like!

Good morning! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
Do you know that there’s only two more days of winter?? That’s right – on Thursday, Spring will be sprunged – YEAH!!!
And my card today is a celebration of Spring. And Easter! Courtesy of the gorgeous Timeless Tulips stamp set and the bundled Tulip Builder Punch! Take a look-see:
I used the FUSION challenge – both sides, really. Ish!
I started with a piece of Whisper White that I embossed in the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder and matted on Highland Heather for the card front.
I cut a piece of Seaside Spray paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP, matted it on Highland Heather and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I stamped a whole bouquet of tulips using the large flower from Timeless Tulips – three in Highland Heather and two in Daffodil Delight. I also stamped a few leaves in Granny Apple Green and a few stems.
I punched all the flowers and leaves with the Tulip Builder Punch, and did a quick fussy cut of the stems.
The sentiment, from Timeless Tulips, is stamped in Highland Heather on Whisper White and cut with a Rectangle Stitched Die.
I laid all the pieces and parts out…including a little bow tied from some Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon…and took my picture…
Then I picked up the sentiment…
…and used that picture to adhere everything to the card front with a combination of Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals (and a Glue Dot for the bow!). I ended with the sentiment on top – popped over the bow with Dimensionals.
I added a few Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dots and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a Highland Heather tulip and a Granny Apple Green stem and leaves to a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Seaside Spray card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green tulip on the front…
…and more of the Seaside Spray DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Timeless Tulips bundle – which includes the Tulip Builder Punch – was one of the first things I got from the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog – and it’s just awesome!
I hope you like – and ASSUME you’ve already got this bundle. If not…you know what you need to do! 😉

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne this week to help jump-start your creative mojo! I hope you’ll come and play along. 🙂
If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
I pulled out the fun and simple (to me!) Label Me Bold stamp set from the 2020 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog and used its sentiments to work with the image-only Ornate Style stamp set. Which YOU will be able to get on 1 Apr! Take a look-see:
I know, I know – I keep using that new daisy image. I can’t help it very much – I just love it!! And so will you when you get your hands on it! 😉
And here’s this week’s Paper Players CAS challenge! Join the fun and show us your projects! I can’t wait to see what you create! 🙂
And the layout for this one is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I embossed in the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder and matted on Granny Apple Green cardstock to make the card front.
To make the little strip element of the sketch, I used some SNAIL to adhere a length of Granny Apple Green 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon.
The DSP strip is a piece of Daffodil Delight Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP, also matted on Granny Apple Green and adhered with Liquid Glue.
The art is the fantastic Ornate Style daisy, stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, on Whisper White and cut out with a rectangle Stitched So Sweetly die – how MUCH do you love this die set?!?
I used watercolor pencils from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2, in Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Then the flower itself is colored in Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral (Assortment 1) with a little Crushed Curry (Assortment 2) in the middle.
Then I used Liquid Glue on the bottom half and Dimensionals on the top half to adhere it to the card front.
On a small piece of Whisper White, I stamped the Label Me Bold sentiment in Granny Apple Green and gave it a quick fussy cut. Then I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dot finished off the card front.
On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from Label Me Bold in Granny Apple Green on a Whisper White panel. Next to it I added another pretty little Ornate Style daisy!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and into my Daffodil Delight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Ornate Style daisy on the front…
…and a little more Daffodil Delight Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Label Me Bold is…for me…a flyover stamp set. Easily overlooked. BUT – it’s got a bunch of sentiment options for different occasions presented in a clean-and-simple style – so…don’t flyover it – get it before the end of the catalog! And – I know you’re excited for Ornate Style and it’s bundled Ornate Layers Dies.
Be looking for those in the Ornate Garden Suite on 1 April. I hope you like!

Yes – he loves the Get The Dog game. It’s ALMOST as good as the Who Can Keep the Stick Away from the Parents Game. Or the ever popular – Zoom-Skid-Slam. Which frequently involves the bowling over of the aforementioned parents cuz braking is HARD!!

Good Friday morning, y’all!! I feel obligated to say….stop touching your face and wash your hands.
There. Public Service Announcement….DONE!
If you were able to join me for my YouTube Live Video yesterday – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
I got the idea for this sweet treat basket from my friend Sue Prather – who gave all of us one last weekend at our Spring STAMPede event!
This is so easy. 🙂
Where Sue used some Best Dressed DSP, I used some of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP – from the Early Release Ornate Garden Suite (which y’all can get on 1 April – or NOW if you decide to join the team). I decorated mine with sweet Daisy Lane flowers. Take a look-see:
With my Simply Scored board, I scored at 2″ and 4″ on one side of the 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP – rotated the paper 90 degrees (doesn’t matter which way) – and scored again at 2″ and 4″.
Next, I used my Paper Snips to cut from the edge of the paper to the crossing score line. I did that on two opposing sides. As shown by the dotted lines below.
When I was done snip-snipping, my paper looked like this:
I placed Tear-and-Tape Adhesive on the inside of the DSP on opposite corners…
Then I removed the tape and brought the tips of the outside corners together – tucking the center square panel on the inside.
The end result…
I used some Liquid Glue to adhere the inside flap so that it would help to make everything more secure and tidier! 🙂
Ready to decorate!
I used a length (about 7 1/2″) of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (from the Tropical Oasis Suite) for the handle – using a craft stapler to adhere it on the inside of the basket at the points.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped two each of the large and small daisies from the Daisy Lane set in Daffodil Delight. Then I punched them with the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch.
With the Leaf Punch, I punched three Mint Macaron and three Old Olive leaves. I creased each little leaf with my fingers and adhered three each on both sides of the basket with Liquid Glue.
I popped the small daisies atop the large daisies with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Then I adhered them over the top of the leaves with Liquid Glue.
A Perennial Essence Flower Center in the middle of each daisy finished off my Spring Baskets!
Et Voila! These little baskets are so cute and so easy and…how many ways can you think of to use them? Mother’s Day? Easter Brunch? May Day? Baby Shower? Bridal Shower? Think of all the gorgeous papers we have to choose from and the myriad of decorative options we’ve got with Stampin’ UP! The Daisy Lane and two Daisy Punches are spot-on-perfect for any and everything Spring-y!! And…the paper. The Ornate Garden Specialty DSP is gorgeous!! I hope you like – and will give these a try right now!!

Yesterday we started hardening the transplants.
Toted all the little trays and water-bottle “pots” to just outside the garage door for a little while in the afternoon. Gotta toughen up the plants in preparation for going in the beds!!
And I cut some daffodils (and a couple of tulip tree flowers!!)
It’s just the best time of year, isn’t it?!?
Finn supervised from the golf-cart.
That’s kind of his jam. Supervising.
If he had actual hands – not adorable paw-hands, he’d be holding a coffee cup in one hand and have the other in his pocket in the ways of site supervisors the world over.
No offense to site supervisors! 😉

Happy FRIDAY!! Whoo-hooo!! Hope you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend? I’m thinking about heading south a bit to attend a little Thirty-One Gifts soiree. We’ll see! And – I’m going to get Wayne to help me blow up the three fitness/yoga balls I bought this week to help me and Finny learn treiball.
What? You thought I might use fitness/yoga balls for YOGA? Or…FITNESS??!
ROFL!!! 🙂
So – I got a new stamp set this week – it’s called Easter Promise. And it’s got some beautiful flower images as well as sentiments. I paired it up with the pretty paper from the Botanical Prints Product Medley to make today’s card. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one was inspired by this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock paper from the wonderful Botanical Prints Product Medley and matted it on Daffodil Delight for the card front.
Then I cut a Stitched Rectangle from Daffodil Delight, embossed it in the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (this may be my favorite embossing folder EVER!!) and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I wrapped some of the Old Olive 1/4″ Twill Ribbon (from the Botanical Prints Medley) around the card front – securing it in the back with Glue Dots.
For the sentiment, I stamped the pretty flower image from Easter Promise in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Whisper White. Using my Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Combos and the Light Mango Melody Blend (for the stamen), I colored the image.
When it was completely dry, I added the big sentiment over it in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
With another die from the Stitched Rectangle set, I cut the sentiment and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied a small bow from the Old Olive Twill Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
Finally, I added one of the sweet little bees from the Product Medley with a Glue Dot – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Easter Promise in Pretty Peacock on a Whisper White panel. At the bottom, I added the flower image in Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Blends. Then, cuz I like them a LOT!, I added another Product Medley bee with a Glue Dot!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Daffodil Delight mat and into my Old Olive card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Easter Promise flowers on the front…
….and I added more of the Botanical Products DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This card highlights the beauty of a Product Medley – a curated grouping of products that work together and let you and your creativity SOAR! – and the Botanical Prints medley is no exception! The papers are gorgeous and the accompanying stamp set, dies, labels, die cuts, ribbon and embellishments go perfectly hand-in-hand!
And, of course, Easter Promise brings perfect images and sentiments to celebrate the Miracle of the Season!
I hope you like!

Here it is.
The Lip-Look.
It’s one of my favorite looks from The Man.
He gives it to us often. Usually when we say something that interests him. Or that he didn’t understand.
First – the closed mouth to achieve “the lips”… the equivalent of…”say what now?”
And then the slight head-tilt.
The equivalent of…hmm. That IS an interesting question. I’ll ponder that for a nano-moment!!

Happy Hawwwmp Day from Huntsville! Had a good day yesterday – got here safely. Got my work done and a new work computer (YEAH!!), got a really good mani/pedi and then had dinner with an old friend. Followed by Handels Homemade Ice Cream.
Oh my goodness, y’all – if you happen to have a Handels anywhere near you…GO.
GO NOW.
Oh my goodness.
Yes – I know I said that twice. It’s merited! 😉 I was a little too full (read…full as a tick!) but…SOOO worth it!
My card for you today uses the wonderful new Daisy Lane stamp set – and the Daisy Punch (which you can – and SHOULD – get right this very minute if you don’t have it already! 🙂 ) I put my daisies on some Perennial Essence DSP and added a Well Written die cut sentiment. Take a look-see:
