Today I have two cards to share with you that feature some of our NEW In-Colors. These three new colors go together so well, I can’t wait for you to get your hands on them!!
New colors are the perfect springboard for fresh creativity and that’s exactly the idea around the In Colors. 5 new on-trend colors are released each year. They remain available for two years and then rotate out.
I’m excited to inspire you with three of the new 2021-2023 In Colors colors: Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya, and Soft Succulent. These three are a great modern take on the colors of nature and I think they are going to be super popular! What do you think?
The first card features the retiring Beautiful World stamp set (#152994). The Beautiful World Bundle (#154091) with stamps and dies is available at a 10% savings only until May 3rd or while supplies last. The 2″ Circle Punch (#133782) is another retiring product. These retiring goodies are combined with the new In Colors, In Color Jewels (#155571) and Pale Papaya Ribbon (#155672) for a fresh, yet timeless, look.
The second card features a simple, modern layout and the new Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082). This set is great for the collage technique and more! The In Color Jewels (#155571) add at touch of sparkle to this nature-themed card.
I hope you enjoyed today’s color inspiration and I thank you for checking in on me today.
Wow … If you’re looking for a way to make quick, colorful and fun birthday cards for the kids in your family (or friend circle) then the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin has just what you’re looking for!! Today I have three cute samples from the kit … two with a simple twist, and one that I have turned into a full card.
Let’s watch the video to see how easy these are to put together …. Grab yourself a cool popsicle and take a look at how you can craft with this refreshing, summery kit!
With shaped cards, shimmery elements, and two sticker sheets, this kit is perfect for crafting with loved ones across the generations! Can’t wait to see what sweet treats you make with our So Cool kit! Here’s mine ….
My first card is the Rainbow … I followed this card per the directions and love how cute it is!!
The next card is the rainbow Popsicle, the only thing I changed was the silver glitter embellishment … instead of the long banner, I used the circular banner!
Next up is another Popsicle card … this one is the Kiwi (how cute is that!) Love the greens so I wanted them to pop so I used Early Espresso as my card base … this also pulls that color out of the design.
I used the Ice Cream Designer paper as my background … the circles add to the fun of a Popsicle card!! I simply cut the pre-made Popsicle card in have … now I’m going to use the other have of my card to create a second card!! No waste.
I hope you enjoyed today’s fun and simple cards. I have listed options below so you can join us in discovering the fun and excitement of our Paper Pumpkin kits.

Today I’m just compiling a few of my favorite samples is the DINOROAR … Why is it going 😦 I’m so sad, this is such a cute stamp set and coordinating dies!
Although the designer paper has retired last year … I wanted to share the idea of creating “Welcome Baby” with this stamp and die set. Totally unique and oh so cute!!
What better way to give a gift than to dress it up with dinosaurs~
I tucked gift cards inside the box … hidden in the packing material. YES … it was a bit messy but oh so much fun! They loved it.
Probably my favorite dino out of this set, the little guy with his arms wide open because I love you this much ❤ Above and below are two samples using the same dinosaur but totally different look.
And we’ll finish off with a grand showcase of several samples…
I hope you enjoyed sitting with me and looking through a few samples from the amazing Dinoroar set and coordinating dies.
I could not get my Facebook LIVE video from last night to upload so while I work on that I’d like to share my Facebook Live video and card that I created using the Stampartus and highlighting the Mirror Image Technique. You will discover the “secret” or simple trick to creating the Mirror Image.
Sit back, grab your coffee and enjoy the short video …
The video explains the steps that I took to come up with the size and layout of the stamped area… and also explains the background I’ve used. It is actually one of the backgrounds I demonstrated the Embossing Paste with last week!
Let’s get a closer look at the card …
Our cute giraffes come from the Zoo Globe stamp set, and our verbiage come from the Well Said stamp sets.
The background was created with the Shimmery White Embossing paste and the masks … you can watch the video HERE.
Now before we go … lets take a look at the layering and see how amazing a few Stampin’ Dimensionals can change up a card! Besides the beautiful texture you get from the Embossing paste, you ‘ll get great dimension and height.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and are inspired to try this fun technique. Please don’t forget that all of the items used in today’s card are available in the Online Extravaganza (with the exception of the Memento Ink) …
Thank you for hanging out with me today. I hope your day is a good one.

There is nothing better than sprinkles on ice cream or inside your “Shaker Cards” … and that is what I have for you today along with several other Ice Cream cards that highlight the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series paper. This tasty treat of a designer paper will be disappearing as fast as ice cream at my house! Let’s begin with our Shaker card …
The background is from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper … I picked the sprinkle design. I cut my window out of the Bermuda Bay using the Rectangle Layered Dies, and then attached the window sheet to the back. Once the window sheet is attached I used the Adhesive Strips to create the height needed for the “shaker”.
You have the greeting stamped … I used the “Happy Birthday” from the bundle and then sprinkled my “Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles” onto the greeting and laid the window sheet assembly on top. With a little adhesive, I attached the “shaker” to the card.
I punched out the Ice Cream and the Cone from the Designer paper!! It was designed to make creating your cones easier!! It also works for quick and easy backgrounds …
I love using designer paper for backgrounds, especially when they are so cute!! All I had to do for this card was add a greeting!! I also used some of the cute sprinkles from the shaker card and the Polka Dot Tulle (sold out) because of the dots … it all coordinates so nicely!!
Let’s look at a few more cards made with different patterns from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series paper …
The one in the back has the same as our last card but the greeting makes it look so different. On the card in front … I used the Popsicle paper … too cute, and the Opal Rounds were colored to coordinate with the flavor!! lol The pretty ribbon that is embellishing both cards is also on the retiring list 😦
Thanks much for hanging out with me today, I hope you have a good one!

I am back! I have put my total attention into my 2020-21 Catalog Retirement Party this weekend, and WOW … did we have fun! It’s amazing how even in a Facebook party, stampers make friends with those they are hanging out with over a weekend! So much fun, so many prizes and a whole lot of happy!!
Today, I’m in the mood for a Seaside View! The card is not only simple to create but brings you back to simpler times on a warm sunny day …
I used the Seaside view stamp set for both my cards today. I used the “watercoloring” technique for my card … it’s quick and easy and the sublte color is perfect for this card. Can’t you image yourself relaxing in the chair with a cool lemonade?
My grandma and grandpa had white adirondack chairs, so mine had to be white … memories! So I got my pop of colors come from the Bermuda Bay table and the lemonade … thus the So Saffron banner!
Yesterday’s card is a bit more detailed!! I applied the sponging technique along with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol markers. It’s my vision of the perfect summer night …
I stamped my image with the Black Momento ink and then added the black horizon line. Then I used a Rhinestone for my sun … and sponged Daffodil Delight around it (then pulled it back off) I also used Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy for my sky and water. I then highlighted the water with the Markers.
The plants, chairs and deck were all done with the Stampin’ Blends markers. Oh yes, and a touch of Real Red for the sail on the boat!
I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and this delightful stamp set. With a few fun techniques you can take this set from simple to spectacular … and everything in between.
Thank you for stopping back again today. I’d love to hear your thoughts on today’s cards… If you really love this stamp set, I must tell you it is on the retirement list and we only have about a week before it’s gone for good.
Happy Sunday!
Here are the items I used to create today’s cards … Click on any image for more information on the product or to begin shopping from my online store.

I’m excited to share today’s 5 cards with you … YES, 5 cards! Since I shared the beautiful In Color ribbons yesterday, I thought you would enjoy these ribbons used yet again! I’ve got a great way for you to make sweet -n- simple cards that really showcase the pretty In Colors.
Let’s begin with a card kit … the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. These cute cards come in our new 2020-2022 In-Colors, and look … the envelopes are already decked out for us!!
I love these card bases for quick and easy cards. There are 2 each of 5 2020–2022 In Colors. 10 printed card bases and 10 printed envelopes. Discover Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight.
I think the Polka dots are cute so I didn’t want to hide them so my first layer … usually Whisper White measures 4″ by 3″ and fits nicely inside my polka dots. To add a touch of color I will add the coordinating In Color 6 x 6 Designer paper pack and the ribbon. For some fun … we’ll use some of the punches we have. Let’s begin ….
My first card highlights the Misty Moonlight, so what better to start with than the “Cat” punch ….
My apologies for using the “retired” moon & stars … Looks like I need to check my catalog a little closer, but it does look nice with our Cat silhouette. I colored the polka dots with my Stampin’ Blends … one touch and they were “Bumble Bee”. I also used it on the envelope (and a ruler to guide me)
The next card highlights the Just Jade and the “Pine Tree” punch …
I punched the tree from two different patterns, added the ribbon with a bow (it is Christmas) and our greeting comes from the “Arrange a Wreath” stamp set. I used this stamp set for the rest of my cards today.
The third card brings us into Spring and the Magenta Madness …
I used the “Heart Punch Pack” to create this card… the scallop heart is punched in the Magenta Madness cardstock and the other heart is punched from the In Color 6 x 6 Designer paper pack. I also changed the layout from horizontal to vertical … they can be used either way.
I also switched up my ribbon from a simple bow to two lines of ribbon. Ribbon is the perfect way to add texture and color to your projects at a budget friendly price … there is a lot of ribbon on those bolts!!
My fourth card uses the ribbon in a similar fashion, more to dress up the card than to create a bow …
Talk about a simple card … I took the “sun” embellishment out of this months Paper Pumpkin kit! It’s cute and matches perfectly. The Paper Pumpkins are designed to coordinate with other products … and the stamp set, you guessed it – also from this kit! Each month you get an “Exclusive” stamp set that you’ll have around whenever you need it.
The fifth and final card today celebrates both the Bumblebee and the Cinnamon Cider …
I used both Daisy punches to create a sunflower and both the Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider ribbon to create a pop of color and texture. The greeting is again from the “Arrange a Wreath” stamp set.
So, as you can see with the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Cards & Envelopes as your base and a little designer paper, ribbon and punches you can create “Simple yet Stunning” cards for all occasions!
Doesn’t that look like a mailbox full of fun! I hope I inspired you to start creating, and use some of those items you have in your collection to make something fresh and new.
Thank you for spending a part of your day with me. Stop back tomorrow I’ll have more goodies for you. If you like what you saw today, feel free to leave me a quick note below or hit the LIKE button.

Today I’ll be sharing my creations from last nights Facebook Live along with the video, and the “new” card that I talked about in my video. These unique cards turned out so cute … it’s amazing the things you can do with ribbon and some punches!
Grab a cup of coffee and kick back while you enjoy the video …
Oh my gosh … that is so easy and such a fun way to create with ribbons. and it adds so much texture to a card. Here is a close up of the cards …
The dimensions for the squares I used were as I stated in the video … The piece that I put the ribbon on was 3″ x 3″, the punched square is 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ and the colored mat is 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″.
Above the mat color is Bumble Bee and below is the Magenta Madness …
I like sharing the close up pictures with you after the video so you can get a better look at the cards. They really turned out cute! Now I’m sure you want to see what I did with the gold edged Red & Green ribbon …
I wanted to take a different approach to this card, so instead of using the reverse punched area … I’m using the actual punch, Pine Tree punch to be exact. Then I framed it … both items were done in the Gold Foil paper which is also on the retiring list (along with the butterfly and Pine tree punches).
Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to stop back tomorrow because I have 5 cards that highlight the In Color Ribbon and more.
Today I would like to share with you a card using the retiring Beauty Abounds stamp set. When I saw it … I had to have it. My Mom loved butterflies so every time I see one … I think of her. This way she is always around me.
I must say … this card is much more beautiful in the hand! We used the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Combo for coloring our flowers and butterfly and then the Olive and Granny Apple Green for a beautiful contrast on our leaves. The secret to the leaves is to color the dark first. then go over it with the brighter Granny Apple Green.
The beautiful greeting was die cut using the Layering Circle Framelits, and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals … as was the butterfly. We added just a touch of the Wink of Stella (not visible on the photo) in the center of our flowers and then gently over our butterfly to give it a hint of sparkle but not overpower. We also added some Rhinestones which were colored with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.
The inside was stamped and colored just as the front with a touch of our Wink of Stella as well. It is amazing how the touch of Stella can transform a card. You can see from this angle that not only did we pop up the greeting and butterfly, but the entire front as well.
I had a few more of these to make (for those who missed club) … YES, I make up the samples for my Club participants as long as they have their orders and payment in before class. I wouldn’t want them to miss out on the amazing cards we do.
Anyway … I love coloring with the Stampin’ Blends; coloring in general, it is relaxing and soothing for the soul. My quiet and reflective time.
Thank you so much for stopping back today, I hope your day is filled with “A Million Little Wonderful Things”.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! With the retirement list in full swing and my Catalog Retirement Party coming up this weekend, I will be focusing some of my favorite “retiring” products this week. Today I’d like to share the “To A Wild Rose” Stamp set.
There are so many different ways you can use this versatile stamp set, I thought I’d share 3 different techniques with you. The first is the “Three-step Stamping” technique …
You begin with the most solid of the three images … this one gets the lightest color, or in my case … I “stamped off” to lighten the Daffodil Delight. Then the second image is stamped with full color, and the last and most detailed stamp, I used Crushed Curry. You can see the three layers as it gives our flower highlights and lowlights!!
On my “True Friendship” card, I used the technique of sponging color onto the image ….
I used the detailed image not only to stamp my flower that was sponged, but my background! I love doing “color on color” and on this card I’m using the Basic Gray. I think that Gray and Pink are so pretty together.
My last of the three card features the “Coloring with Stampin’ Blends” technique …
Before I decided how my card would look, I chose my color pallet; Basic White and Highland Heather. I stamped the rose image with the Momento ink and began to color it with the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Duo. I begin by coloring a petal with the light marker, then add the dark marker at the part of the petal that is closest to the center and over the lines in the rose. Then I go back over the dark with the lighter marker to blend the colors … you can always add a little more dark again. I leave the edges of the petals as light as I can.
The center is colored with the Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Marker and then the rose is die cut. The leaves cut from Pear Pizzazz cardstock. The lattice piece was cut in Whisper White and Highland Heather and then layered to create an added dimension to the card. The white base was stamped with the “Hello” from the stamp set and then the entire piece was embossed using the “Subtle” Folder.
Have you fallen in love with this amazing stamp set yet? I find it so versatile and easy to use. Don’t forget that the “To A Wild Rose” coordinates with the Wild Rose Die Set.
Thank you for joining me today. Let me know if you have any questions on the cards shared today.
Hope your day is filled with beauty … pass it on.

Today I’d like to share with you a card I made with the Laser cut paper from the Dandy Garden Suite. So pretty and so easy to make!
Let’s take a look at today’s card …
I began with the Laser cut piece and layered it over the stunning Fine Art Floral Designer Series paper from the Mini Catalog. I chose the pattern that looks like brush strokes of a painting … I thought it created a beautiful background to my laser cut paper. This front piece was layered with dimensionals onto a piece of Mango Melody which I cut a small piece off and split it apart to create some added dimension and creates a simple but fun twist to the card!
The greeting comes from the “Heal Your Heart” stamp set (already retired) I used the Everyday Label Punch to highlight the greeting, I then put on a few Rhinestones and popped it up with dimensionals. I love the layering on this simple card … it really helps bring it to life!
I like to share our retiring products so you can get one last look before it retires. If you want to see more, and have some fun … Join me at my Catalog Retirement Party this coming weekend. Here is the link CLICK HERE to request membership into our Private Party Group!!
