Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is going well. 🙂
I don’t know about you, but…the Hand-Penned DSP (which is retiring soon!) is one that I am really going to miss! It is so gorgeous – looks like I wish my garden looked! 😉 I paired it with the lovely Dahlia Days stamp set and its bundled Detailed Dahlia dies from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. And – cuz I really like fun folds, that’s what this one is! 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!
When I saw the colors I thought of the pretty Highland Heather paper in the Hand-Penned DSP, so that became the foundation for my card today! I added some flowers, leaves and a sentiment from the cool Boughs & Blossoms Bundle. 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 today 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!
Our sketch struck me as perfect for showcasing some pretty Designer Series Paper, so I decided to pull out one of my favorites (that JUST SO happens to be ON SALE right now for 15% off!) – the Hand-Penned DSP. I used the coordinating – and equally gorgeous! – Hand-Penned Petals Bundle, too! Take a look-see!
Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! How goes the week? We’ve been busy working on the garden – new water feature and irrigation system. And making cards! So – pretty good week for us. 🙂
Now – quick before we get going. Today is the LAST day for the Last Chance sale! If there’s anything you want from the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog – now’d be a good time to go get it, okay? It’ll be tomorrow before you can blink and then…it’ll be gone-baby-gone!
My card today uses some of the gorgeous Hand-Penned DSP (not coincidentally, this is one of the papers that will go on sale on Thursday, 1 Jul – with a wunnermus 15% off!) and the Flowers of Friendship Bundle. Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday, y’all! Hope your week is going well!
I’ve got a no-inky-fingers card – well, actually TWO cards! – for you today! Yep – I used the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack and some Hand-Penned DSP to create two quick and easy cards for you – neither of which needs ANY ink! Take a look-see:
Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Thank you to everyone for all the kind words about Katy that you left in the comments and e-mails yesterday. I truly appreciate each and every one of you! 🙂
My card today is another Tower fun fold – and is the subject of the Wednesday Tutorial over at Split Coast Stampers – complete with a video! Hope you’ll check it out!
This fun-fold has become one of my faves – it REALLY looks complicated until you sort of “break it down”! I made one previously with the new Pansy Petals suite (see it – plus a Video Tutorial – right here!) and this one today is another fave – the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and bundled Penned Flowers Dies, plus the gorgeous Hand-Penned DSP. Take a look-see:
I started this one with a piece of Pale Papaya card stock (avail on 4 May in the new catalog!) that I scored and cut according to this template, using my trusty Simply Scored Board and Paper Trimmer.
Then I folded the score lines according to this template:
Once it was a “tower” – I began to decorate, using the pretty new Hand-Penned Suite of goodies!
I matted pieces of the new Hand-Penned DSP on Misty Moonlight cardstock and, using Liquid Glue, adhered them to the front and back panels of the card base.
I cut three largest Stitched Shapes squares – two in Misty Moonlight and one in Basic White. Tip: if you don’t have the Stitched Shapes set already, it is – SADLY!! – sold out. You can simply cut 2 5/8″ squares of the cardstock.
I adhered the Misty Moonlight squares to the card front with Liquid Glue – tipping them up into diamonds.
I stamped the Hand-Penned Petals sentiment in Misty Moonlight onto the white square and then adhered it over the other two squares.
On a piece of new Soft Succulent cardstock, I stamped the two-step wildflower image from Hand-Penned Petals in Soft Succulent ink and cut them with the matching die from Penned Flowers. I adhered them both to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Next, I stamped the large flower image from Hand-Penned Petals in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the new Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (avail 4 May) as well as the Daffodil Delight Blends (avail now!). Then I cut it with its Penned Flowers Die.
I popped the flower onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a Genial Gem (new and available on 4 May!) and the card front was done!
For the back panel, I stamped the flower in Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel and colored it as I’d done the flower on the front! I also added another of the Genial Gems – cuz I really really like them!! 😉
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and onto the back of the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Hand-Penned Petals flowers on the front…
…and more of the Hand-Penned DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Hard to say what I like better – the cool Tower Fun Fold or the new and wunnermus Hand-Penned Petals Bundle and Hand-Penned DSP! I think it might be a toss up and have officially decided that I don’t have to choose! I can love them both!
I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
We don’t usually feed Finn in little prep bowls.
We DID feed Katy in the little prep bowls. In the kitchen. Where there is no carpet. 😉
So…what’s “off” with this picture?
Caught. Red-pawed!
Those days are over for the Man. I suspect he’ll lose a pound or two without the purloined cat food! 😉
A silver lining.

Happy Easter!! He is Risen – enjoy the celebration of this day!
Something I am so grateful for – and acknowledge as part of the blessings that are upon me every day – are the gorgeous flowers flowering out all over!
Not necessarily at MY house – but…where I can see them when I’m out and about!
The other place I am seeing flowers is in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog! My goodness, there are a lot of wunnermus florals in this new catalog and I was fortunate to be able to pre-order several of my faves! I was finally able to choose which set would debut first and…it was the Hand-Penned Suite!
Now – if you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video – I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me. If not – and you’d like to see how to make this pretty card, here’s the replay on YouTube!
