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 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 Petalsin 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! 😉
Good morning – hope your weekend is going well! Our On Tour virtual event yesterday was great – I got some super cool ideas to share with y’all in the coming weeks as the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog gets closer – so…stay tuned, okay?!
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, but you’d like to see it – here ’tis on YouTube!
I am such a fan of the new Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack! It has so many possibilities for super-easy card making (oh – and it’s ALSO great for scrapbooking! 😉 ) – and it lets you make quick – easy – and WUNNERMUS cards in no time! For this one, I paired it with some Hand-Penned DSP and a die from the Penned Flowers Dies. This card pack – as well as the entire Hand-Penned Suite – will be available to customers on 4 May! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one comes from the Mojo Monday sketch challenge!
I started with some pretty Pale Papaya paper from the Hand-Penned DSP that I matted on Garden Green for the card front. Then I pulled out a second design from the DSP pack and cut the top of the piece with the scalloped die in the Penned Flowers Die set. Remember – this Penned Flowers will be bundled with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.
I adhered the scallop-edge panel onto the bottom of the card front with Liquid Glue.
I pulled two coordinating small panels from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack and cut them both down a little bit. Then I adhered the yellow-striped card to the card front at an angle with Liquid Glue.
I popped the second card over the first with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next, I used some Stampin’ Seal to add a length of Pale Papay 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon in a loose Z-shape.
I pulled one of the sentiment stickers included in the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack and de-sticky-fied the back. Tip: when you’re going to use a sticker and want to pop it on Dimensionals (and who WOULDN’T?!?) – then you want to “dull” the sticky. Use an Embossing Buddy if you have it to pat the sticky side of the sticker. Or – tap it on your bare arm or on your jeans! 🙂
Once I de-sticky-fied the label – I popped it over the ribbon with the aforementioned Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few diamond-shaped Clear epoxy elements from the new Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (coming on 4 May in the new catalog) here and there and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added another sticker sentiment – this time using as an actual sticker – on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I added a floral sticker – it comes in black and white. I colored it with the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (yes!! New blends in the new catalog!).
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Garden Green mat and into my Mint Macaron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got another of the Blends-colored floral stickers on the front…
…and added more of the Hand-Penned DSPon the envelope flap.
Et Voila! As someone commented on the Live video – it would be hard to make a NOT-pretty card with the gorgeous Hand-Penned Suite, right?? And the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack is not only gorgeous – it’s handy as all get out!
I hope you like!
Are you having trouble waiting for 4 May to get this Hand-Penned Suite and other goodies from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!?

Finn Fan Fix
The other day as I was tidying up the barn aisle – I happened to look up at our Maternity Ward.
And – there she was!
She was – apparently – hoping for her 10 minutes of fame, cuz she hung around for me to fumble my phone out of my pocket – wake it up and get to the camera – aim – focus – click. She departed immediately thereafter!
And – a little later – I got a glimpse of what she wanted to show me…
Not really their best side, but…they’re young yet.
Guess I need to put the dog bed under the muzzle so that when flying school starts – their first failures won’t be so likely to end in tragedy! 🙁
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!
