Good morning! Well – today’s the day! Planning is done – it’s time to Execute Execute Execute! Well – assuming the Lyft driver can find the place!! LOL
I kid. Of COURSE he can find us!
Right?! 😳
My card today is a fun one – a faux side-step fun fold card and it’s sporting some beautiful Magnolia Mood (from the Online Exclusives) die cuts – and NEW Country Woods DSP (coming soon in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!). 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 (my fave!) 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!
So – I think I’ve already mentioned that the Take to the Sky Suite – with the Adventurous Sky bundle – is already one of my favorite sets in the new catalog. As such – and cuz I’d spied with my little eye a DSP panel in the Take to the Sky DSP that fit today’s sketch perfectly – it’s not surprising that I reached for it for today’s card. Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a great weekend – we are having what I HOPE is not our two-days of Spring! Here in the south – we put up with Winter cuz of the promise of Spring-in-the-South (which is spectacular)! Some years we get weeks and weeks and then others…I think we get…like… 2 hours of Spring and then…HOT hits! Hoping this is not one of those years!
My card today would be SO fun for anyone who has a birthday in the Spring ANYwhere in the country! It uses the new Attention Shoppers stamp set and dies – which will be available for you on 1 May! YEAH! AND – we’ve got a couple of HUGE (no – literally HUGE) and wonderful 3D Embossing folders. I used one – the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder to add a fun little bit of texture. Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We had our first hummingbird of the season – he buzzed around me for 2 or 3 minutes the other day while I was filling the water trough. I didn’t dare wiggle for fear of scaring him off – or hitting him with the water from the hose! He darned near landed on my leg, though! I DID get the message – it was pretty strongly worded…WE’RE BACK!! WHERE THE HECK IS THE FEEDER?!? I remedied that as soon as I got back to the house! My bad, little guy. 🤷♀️
My card today is another Sneak Peek – a look at the new 2024-2026 In Colors and the new Attention Shoppers stamp set! It’s also a fun exercise in paper piecing – and ended up being a really pretty birthday card. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Happy Tuesday. I hope your week is going well so far!
I pulled out THREE new goodies – all unrelated to the others – from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog for today’s Sneaky Peek birthday card! The Leaf Collection stamp is a cool background stamp – that ALL OnStage attendees got for FREE while we were in Houston! Yeah for free stamp sets, am I right?! I also used the Loveliest Tree stamp set and – my new go-to – the Unbounded Love die set. Take a look-see:
Good morning! It’s Good Friday and Sunday is coming!! Wishing you all a blessed Easter weekend!
My card today is one that is just too stinkin’ cute (she says modestly!) with a flurry of Hot Air Balloons worthy of any balloon festival anywhere! With some Lighter Than Air DSP to set the stage – I think this Double Z-fold is one you’re going to want to make! 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’ve got a sneak peek of some NEW goodies – the Country Birdhouse bundle and coordinating Country Lace DSP (get these on 1 May!) – and a fond farewell to and old friend – the retiring Scalloped Contours die set – for today’s birthday card. Take a look-see:

I’d been wanting to play with the Nature’s Sweetness DSP again – one design in particular – and when I saw the sketch – I knew this was the time! So – I pulled it – and the Notes of Nature bundle – out and went to town on a pretty – and easy! – birthday card. Take a look-see:
Good Monday, my friends!! Hope you had a great weekend and that your week is going to be as good as mine is going to be! I’ll be leaving on Thursday for Houston for our Stampin’ Up! OnStage event – and I can’t wait to see everyone. And meet some of my team that I’ve only met thru Zoom!! It’s going to be so much fun!
Speaking of fun – my card today is an easy and quick Birthday card featuring the Cheerful Daisies bundle (from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog) and some gorgeous tone-on-tone texture from the new Online Exclusive Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. 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 decided to mix-and-match a little – using the Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ DSP since it really made sense to me with the colors in our challenge – but deviating a bit (no hot air balloons today!) and pulling out the Everyday Details bundle – one of my faves. Take a look-see:
And – here’s the color palette we were working with!
I started by adhering a piece of Lighter Than Air DSP to a Bubble Bath mat for the card front.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Everyday Details floral vase image in Pebbled Path (thanks to my friend Carol Buckalew for giving me the lightbulb moment – and reminding me that Pebbled Path is a perfect neutral!).
I also stamped just the vase portion of the image on another piece of the same design Lighter Than Air DSP in Pebbled Path – then used Paper Snips to cut out the vase.
I adhered the fussy cut vase to the stamped image using Liquid Glue. If you’re wondering – this is called Paper Piecing! 😎
I colored the flowers using my Light Fresh Freesia, Light Bubble Bath, and Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. The leaves are Dark Pool Party.
I added the little dots image from the set all around the vase in stamped-off-once Pebbled Path ink
I used the rectangle die in the Everyday Details set to cut out the image, adhered it to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Everyday Details sentiment in Pebbled Path and cut it out with the small circle die in the set. I adhered it to the card front – with a Dimensional on the right side and some Liquid Glue on the left.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere a small bow tied with Balmy Blue baker’s twine. Finally, I added some Balmy Blue Rainbow Adhesive-backed Dots to the card front and a Fresh Freesia Dot to the large flower – and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped the top of the Everyday Details image -so…just the flowers – a couple three times in Pebbled Path ink across the bottom of a Basic White panel. Then I used the Blends to color all the flowers and leaves.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bubble Bath mat and into my Balmy Blue card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Everyday Details flowers on the front…
…and more of the Lighter Than Air DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oh – I do love the colors in the Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ DSP – it’s so suble and lovely and SPRING-Y!! And – with all the options – sentiments and images – in the Everyday Details stamp set – and the wunnermus bundled die set – is it any wonder that it’s one of my favorites??
I hope you like!
