Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you had a good weekend – and that the week ahead looks to be a good one!
My card today harkens back to one of my favorite Online Exclusives – the Lovely Arrangements bundle. I used it to make a pretty – and pretty simple! – thank you card. Take a look-see:
Good morning and Happy Monday! Can you believe it’s almost the end of March? I don’t know about you but…I’m loving the ever-growing number of daylight minutes – it’s the best part of this time of year. I LOVE when it stays light until late!!
Today’s card has exactly nothing to do with Spring, really! Instead – it’s a Sneak Peek at a new May 2026 Online Exclusive that I think y’all are going to simply love – and will be eager to get on 5 May 2026 when it all goes live! Especially any of you Disney fans. Or…those of you who knew-without-asking what “TTFN” means! 🙂 It’s the new Silly Old Bear suite – and it’s all Winnie the Pooh themed everything! Silly Old Bear DSP plus the Sweet Friends (all images) bundle and the coordinating Sweet Words & Labels (all-sentiments) bundle. I pulled it all onto a sweet and simple card for you today – 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!
Our color palette led me right to the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP – so…it made sense in my head to ALSO use the Beautifully Celebrated and Simply Beautiful bundles – all in the same suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I used them to make a pretty card to send to a friend. Take a look-see:
Good Monday morning, y’all! Hope you had a most wunnermus weekend and are rested and refreshed as you head into your work week! I have TWO admin notes before we get crafty! First – I have a conflict this afternoon so there will NOT be a Monday Zoom The Craftroom – I’m so sorry! 🙁 And TWO – this is the FINAL day to get a FREE Stampin’ Positioner when you join the team! So – if you’ve been waiting till the very end…uhm…it’s here! 🙂
Okay – so – on to the card! This one is a bit of a kluge of old and new! I used the amazeballs Textured Notes bundle – on the Last Chance list so…when it’s gone it’s gone 🥺🥺🥺 and the dies from the Nature’s Symphony set. That’s the “old”! I used the even more wunnermus NEW Wood Grain Wonders DSP and a few – also new! – Natural Matte Dots! These are available starting tomorrow! Take a look-see:
Happy President’s Day, y’all! If this is a holiday for you – I hope you enjoy the time! If not…well…I hope you have a great day at work!
Today’s card is another sneak peek – one that you’ll get to see (and get your hands on!) on 3 March. But…it’s a stand-alone set and…you MIGHT miss it! It’s the Ready Set Go stamp set – and…it’s really cute! I paired it here – rather unexpectedly! – with some – also new! – Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP to make a fun Birthday card. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Monday! Hope y’all are dug out – or…at least safe and warm in your homes. If you’re snowed/iced in – that’s the universe telling you to make cards today! I’m feeling pretty confident – as I type this on Sunday night – that we dodged the winter storm bullet! I know it’s going to be cold as a well-digger’s bucket tomorrow but…I don’t think much else is going to transpire! Thank you, God! 🙂
In a couple three weeks (well, on 3 March!) you’ll be able to grab the Scalloped Wishes bundle and Delicate Dreams Specialty DSP from the March 2026 Online Exclusives. And – when you DO grab them – you’ll be able to make…today’s pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:
Happy Monday, y’all! Most Monday’s are sorta…meh! But – I’ve got a massage today – a 2 HOUR massage! – and I am VERY much looking forward to it! I hope I can stay awake – I hate to miss any of it by sleeping thru it and…I’m pretty sure I snore…and then SNORT myself awake! LOL🤷♀️
Today’s card features three bug-friends sitting around having a little picnic. They’re from the Cute as a Bug DSP and I added some fun little ‘shrooms and a sentiment from the coordinating Sweet Bugs bundle – to make a quite cute card for a friend! Take a look-see:
Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwwwwmp DAY!! The FIRST Hawmmmp Day of 2026!
Well the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini is finally LIVE and ready for ordering! Which means…you can get TODAY’s goodies…today! I pulled from the new Lovely & Beautiful Suite! I used the Simply Beautiful bundle and a few amazing dies from the coordinating Beautifully Celebrated dies. And – of course – the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP is a great starting point. Take a look-see:
Happy Monday, y’all! We’re enjoying a few days of sun and pretty weather – cool enough for a jacket but…not bad at all! We’ve got the barn opened all the way back up – Cady is too hot again – there’s no middle ground for her in the winter – she’s comfortable (when we have our covers on) or sweating (when our toes, fingers and noses aren’t frozen!). 🤷♀️
My card today is a CASE of a pretty card I saw on Pinterest – from Australian demonstrator Nancy Hoetker! I loved it, so…did my own take on it. It features two of my favorite Online Exclusives – the Friendly Foliage bundle and Brushed With Beauty DSP. Take a look-see:
Happy Christmas Eve EVE, y’all! Today’s the day you want to do that last minute run to Walmart – or any grocery store, I’m thinkin’! We tried to get a Butter Pecan Cake Mix at Publix last night and…they did NOT have them! Whaaaa?!? So – we’re likely going to sprint to Walmart – yes, THEY have them! – to get that and a couple other things so we don’t have to go tomorrow. We’re actually doing Christmas dinner on Saturday when the kids can be there – so I’ve got a minute. But…in MY eyes – the only WORSE day to go to Wally than Christmas EVE is…the day AFTER Christmas! 😳😳
So – as we get closer to the end of the year, we’re ALSO getting closer to the go-live day for the January 2026 Online Exclusives! Yeah! The Lovely Blossoms Suite is one of the goodies you’ll be able to snag! There’s pretty DSP of the same name – and the coordinating Lovely Arrangements bundle. I used those to make a pretty birthday card – take a look-see:
