Happy Day, y’all! It is the LAST DAY of April. Sheesh. The year is just racing by, isn’ it?!?
I’ve got a cool – and easy! – fun fold for you today – one that really lets our new Fresh as a Daisy DSP shine like the star that it is! And, to give it just the tiniest hand, the returning Color & Contour stamp set, with its coordinating Scalloped Contorus dies, is perfect. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday, y’all! I hope you’ve had a good week and have something fun planned for your weekend! 🙂
My card today goes back to a favorite bundle from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog – the Pansy Patch bundle. And I also used a NEW stamp called Layered Stripes – from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini! Put together, they created a spring-y note card good for any occasion. Take a look-see:
Good morning on weekend-eve! Do you have fun plans this weekend? I think we’ve got “get hay” on the list – but…might have to wait till we see how the rain chances REALLY are – they seem to change every time we check! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I was honored to be selected as the Featured Artist for a fun As You See It challenge this week and I decided to go back to the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog for my card – showcasing the gorgeous Hues of Happiness suite! The Happiness Abounds stamp set and bundled Blossoming Happiness die set worked hand-in-hand with the Hues of Happiness DSP. 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!
I pulled out the wonderful new Inspired Thoughts stamp set – it has wonderful sentiments in it! – and some Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP to make a sympathy card for you today! And – there’s a bit of a twist from the Pets Dies set. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – and happy first day of the week!
My card today is one that could be used to send encouragement – sympathy – or just a “hey – I’ve got your six”! It uses the pretty Color & Contour Bundle and some Fresh Freesia paper from the Pansy Petals DSP. Take a look-see:
Morning, y’all – happy Friday! We’re headed into another weekend – yeah!
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If not, but you’d like to check it out, here’s the replay on YouTube! 🙂
So I used a stamp set that looks like it would be complicated and confusing if you just look at it in the catalog. The Days to Remember set is a genius way to make a calendar for any month of any year! And I paired it with the super pretty Hand-Penned DSP and the Color & Contour stamp set with the wonderful, bundled Scalloped Contours dies. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one was inspired by the sketch at this week’s Paper Players challenge.
I started with some pretty floral Hand-Penned DSP and matted it on Misty Moonlight for the card front. Then I matted a strip of a second design on Misty Moonlight and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the days-of-the-week image from Days to Remember in Misty Moonlight. I added “May” in Mint Macaron. Then, in Bumble Bee ink, I stamped the days. It’s hard to explain how to do that – so…check out the video, okay? I show that particular piece starting at around 4:30 in. 😉
Then I cut the calendar out with the next-to-largest die in the Scalloped Contours set.
I used the little circle image from the stamp set in Misty Moonlight to highlight the day I wanted to…you know…remember! 😉
Then I stamped the larger sentiment in Misty Moonlight and popped the panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the two flower images in Color & Contour – stamping them both in Mint Macaron on Basic White. Then I cut it with the die in the Scalloped Contours set.
You can see how I’ve used a permanent marker to identify the “top” of the two stamps and the die. You should be able to add a similar mark to your set – and that’ll make it easy-peasier to line everything up!
I added the flower to the card with some Liquid Glue.
To finish – I used a Glue Dot to adhere a Pale Papaya Loose Flower Flourish to the top of the calender and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Days to Remember sentiment in Misty Moonlight on Basic White. Then I added the flowers again in Mint Macaron and a single Pale Papaya Genial Gem (coming on 4 May!).
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight 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 Color & Contour flower on the front…
…and more of the Hand-Penned DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Y’all – I promise that this stamp – which made me totally scratch my head when I looked at it in the catalog – is not nearly as whoo-whoo sci-fi as it looks. Although it IS pretty darned genius! Days to Remember can help you make mini calendars – cool scrapbook pages – and amazing cards! And Color & Contour, with the wunnermus Scalloped Contours die set is…one of my favorite new goodies!
I hope you like!

Yesterday was National Peace Rose Day.
Yes. That’s a thing!
Mine decided to get in on the fun!
Not to be outdone – the lavender is putting on a total show!
Nothing to do with Finn – other than he likes to chase the bumblebees that are enjoying the flowers! 🙂

Happy Happy HAWWWMP DAY!! Wheeeeee…..cresting the middle of the week and sliding down the backside to the weekend! This Saturday I get to do my virtual OnTour Event with Stampin’ Up! This is a Zoom event – in lieu of in person, cuz…you know! I’ve heard good things from the folks who’ve already had their event – so….I’m looking forward to it! 🙂 Hope you’ve got something that you’re looking forward to, too! 🙂
I’ve got a Sneak Peek for you today of a cool new bundle from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog – that you’ll be able to pick up on 4 May! The stamp set, called Color & Contour, will be bundled with a cool set called Scalloped Contours. I used both of them and added some Flowers For Every Season DSP (available right now in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog – but retiring SOON!). Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the sketch at the Inspired By challenge.
…and by the inspiration photo from the As You See It Challenge. This one was also a speed challenge – and this card took me 9:40 to complete (you know – once I’d figured out what I was going to do)! 🙂
I cut a Just Jade piece of paper from the Flowers For Every Season DSP using the largest Scalloped Contour Die and then I adhered it with Liquid Glue to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the flower image from Color & Contour in Just Jade – then I cut it with the largest Stitched Shapes circle die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Color & Contour detailed outline flower three times on Basic White – twice in Bumble Bee and once in Magenta Madness. I used the fill stamp (this is a two-step set) with the same colors. I cut the three flowers with the die in the Scalloped Contours set.
I adhered the Magenta Madness and one of the Bumble Bee flowers with Liquid Glue and popped the third flower on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment, from Color & Contour, is stamped in Misty Moonlight on Basic White, and cut it with the smallest rectangle in the Scalloped Contour die set. I popped it onto the card front with Dimensionals.
I added Cinnamon Cider or Bumble Bee dots from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the middle of the flowers – added a Just Jade dot to the sentiment and the card front was done!
Serious?! How fun is this set?? I LOVE those scalloped rectangles – and they’re perfectly sized for A2 cards!
On the inside, I stamped the Bumble Bee Color & Contour flowers in the corner of a Basic White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Just Jade mat and into the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Color & Contour flowers on the front…
..and more of the Flowers For Every Season DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This quick card was easy to make with this new Color & Contour bundle – and I KNOW you’re going to want it for yourself, just as soon as you can get it – which is 4 May. Unless, of course, you decided to join the SU! team right now – THEN you could get it – and any of our other pre-order goodies! – right now in your Starter Kit (a huge value in and of itself) and with your cool new 20% discount! 😉
I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
Wayne and I worked outside on Sunday and much of Monday – planting and tidying up the patio off the barn.
At the end of the day on Monday, after we fed, it was so nice outside that we sat out on the patio for a bit.
With Finn, of course – he LOVES that time of night outside!
Wayne – kicking back.
Oh wait – had to adjust the ball cap – sorry!
NOW he looks cool!
Finn don’t need no stinkin’ ball cap to look cool….
Pretty darned nice way to end the day, I have to say! 🙂
