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!
So – I’ve got another Sneak Peek of a new goody coming on 3 Sept – this is an Online Exclusive. What’s that!? You’re shocked that I’m using a NEW product?!? 😂 This is the Beautiful Pumpkins bundle – and I paired it with some Country Woods DSP (NOT a new thing – just a total FAVE!). 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 – it’s the LAST day of June! Wow! I hope that you’ve already taken advantage – at least once! – of the Suite BOGO50% Off sale! If you haven’t – or…want to get one or two last orders in – this is the day to do that! 🙂
My card today is from a Suite – but…it’s one that you can get TOMORROW when the July Online Exclusives go live to customers!! It’s the Painterly Pears suite – with the gorgeous DSP of the same name and the coordinating Perfectly Pearsbundle. I used them to make this pretty thank you card. 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:
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!

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!
So – our color combo today screamed FRIENDS OF THE OCEAN DSP! Not wanting to buck the flow…I pulled it out! And the coordinating Ocean Friends stamp set and die bundle (these are on the Last Chance list so…get ’em while you still can!). But – I ALSO thought it would be fun to give you a sneaky look-see at the fun Layered Thoughts sentiment set that you’ll be able to get in the 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog when it goes live on 6 May! Take a look-see:
Good morning good morning! Are you ready for a Sneak Peek!? Well – I’ve got it for you this morning! And – an announcement!

I hope you’ll be able to tune in!
Today’s card is a look at a wonderful new bundle that you’ll be able to pick up on 6 May – it’s a new Online Exclusive – called Impressions Abloom. I used another Online Exclusive – the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – and some Perennial Lavender DSP(from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog)! Take a look-see:
