Here’s the scoop: with the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle, you can stamp ‘n’ cut tasty treats that look good enough to eat! Use the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to build a cool cone towering with cream, then use the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set to add color, sprinkles, and a coordinating sentiment.
Pair this delicious duo with the patterned paper, ravishing ribbon, and scrumptious sprinkle embellishments in the Ice Cream Corner Suite (or should we say, “sweet”) for even more frozen, flavorful fun! Did you see the background?
That is created with the Embossing Paste and our Masks, check out my video to see how easy it is to create backgrounds like this …
Cool right … and easy! Hope you enjoyed today’s blog post, give me a LIKE at the bottom of the page if you did. I’ve put a list of supplies below to your convenience.

TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST … If you liked the products used in today’s projects, I have links for you below. Just click on the item you would like more information on, or to begin your shopping. It will take you directly to my website. Thank you ♥
First let me say “Thank You” to all of you who placed an order yesterday. Glad you took advantage of the FREE Shipping, and for those of you who will be joining me for the Butterfly Class!!
Today I have more butterflies for you … FIVE (5) Butterflies to be exact! I’m using the Butterfly Brilliance bundle using a simple layout and featuring the 2019-2021 In-Colors that will be retiring soon …
In my video that I shared with you, I used the Stamparatus to easily get great ink coverage on your cardstock, and that is what I did with each of these colors … I never removed the stamp, I just cleaned and re-inked.
Let’s begin with my favorite; the Pretty Peacock. This is such a beautifully rich color, like a jewel tone …
The card base is Basic White as is the front that I stamped on … the mat and ink colors are the In Colors. The greeting comes from the “Forever Fern” stamp set from the Forever Fern Bundle! I die cut my greeting using one of the Circle dies from the Stitched Shapes dies.
The next color is the Purple Posy, we had some trouble with the ink pads … mine is a bit juicy but I really like this soft color. I use the cardstock quite often…
I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon behind my greeting to add some texture and a twinge of sparkle!! The little butterfly comes from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle die set … it’s cut from the coordinating cardstock and highlighted with my Wink of Stella!!
Let’s take a look at the Terra-Cotta Tile …
Terra-Cotta Tile is such a warm color … well, it reminds me of Autumn and looks so good paired up with our other fall colors.
Now … another one of my favorites is the Seaside Spray …
I’m not sure what it is about this hue of blue but it is so soft and pretty. Look … it even compliments that Wink of Stella so perfectly! Sometimes Stella looks a little silvery, but one the Seaside Spray – it really compliments it. Now last but not least, we have the Rocco Rose …
We anticipate running out of Rococo Rose Cardstock (item 150882) in the next couple days. When this item runs out, it will show as not orderable until we are able to get more inventory. Because the 2019–2021 In Color Cardstock Assortment (item 149701) includes Rococo Rose Cardstock, this item will also be not orderable for a time. We have more inventory of Rococo Rose Cardstock coming in a few weeks; however, as this is a retiring color and the inventory we receive in a few weeks will be our final shipment, both the cardstock and cardstock assortment will only be available while supplies last.
I thought I would share a close up with you as well …
It’s always sad to see product go, but colors … Hmmm. I’m really going to miss the Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray!! I will be using them as much as I can before they go.
One good thing … we’ll be getting a full set of 5 fabulous NEW Colors! Whoop Whoop .. can’t wait to see what they are. What colors do you think will be coming?
Thank you so much for joining me today. I’d love to hear your ideas for NEW Colors!!
Have yourself a wonderful day ~

Here today with a sweet card that I created using the Under My Umbrella stamp set and our March 2020 “No Matter the Weather” Paper Pumpkin. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to pair up the boots with the Umbrella …
I choose the pink and combined it with Smoky Slate … so pretty together. My stripped background paper is actually the inside of the envelope from my Paper Pumpkin kit. I needed another color to go between my boots and my background so I went with Whisper White … it just seemed to “bright” so I toned it down my using my Aqua Painter to color wash the Smoky Slate and creating a fun background for my boots!
The umbrella was stamped with Smoky Slate onto the left over paper from the envelope, and then punched with the coordinating umbrella punch. Both of these were popped up onto the die cut piece. The die cut comes from the Stitched so Sweetly dies. The greeting sentiment is from the Under My Umbrella stamp set and was stamped with the Smoky Slate and also die cut from the Stitched to Sweetly dies.
My pretty little bouquet of flowers you should recognize from the Easter Card I did earlier this week … these and the heart come from the No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit. Both are kissed with a little sparkle from our Wink of Stella pen. Did you notice the sweet little raindrops? They also come from the Paper Pumpkin kit.
I love combining the Under my Umbrella bundle with the No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit…. it expands the creativity level of the kit and the contents of the kit are so much fun to use with the stamp set and punch.
Thank you for hanging out with me today. Hope this was a little escape for a while and inspires you to hang out in your stamp room.
Today I’m going to share with you “how to” create two cards with the “Floating Frame” technique. I have also included my video from last nights Facebook LIVE presentation. Grab a cup of coffee as I share these amazing cards with you …
The video will show you step by step how I created these amazing cards with this different technique, who knew that a common food wrap from your kitchen would be so helpful!! Let’s see the floating …
Now join me for the video … Got your coffee? Maybe even a note pad!! When you watch how I remove the film from the butterflies, it works best when you pull to the side (like I did at the end) than trying to pull up. Have a look …
I love coloring so that part of the technique was easy, and the new dies make it easy to cut them out too … I don’t even mind putting all of the dimensionals on, just takes me a while to pick them all off … LOL! Once you peel off the film it uncovers an effect as if the butterflies are actually floating.
I promised to show you a second card, one with the piece that was cut while creating the frame …
I placed the piece down onto the card front and peeled off the film just like in the video … including the Wink of Stella!! I stamped my sentiment from the Sunflower Celebrations stamp set in Melon Mambo, then added a coordinating mat and attached the entire front to the Basic White card base. Here is a close up …
So what do you think? Is this your kind of technique … Will you be trying it? I’d love to hear from you, please comment below. I think the Floating & Fluttering Bundle is an easy way to start learning how to make these cards because the are mainly joined together.
I enjoyed making these cards … I’m going to love sending them out ❤ I thank you for joining me today, I hope you have an amazing day!

Today I’m sharing two cards created with the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper. These cards were created to highlight this delightful designer paper with it’s elegant greenery with painted watercolor patterns will give your projects an organic feel. One side of each sheet has large, leafy designs; the other side has painted patterns. This paper crafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more!
My first card uses a quarter sheet of the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper … trimmed down an 1/8 of an inch to have a Garden Green mat behind it …
The ribbon is stunning!! It is the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon. It matches perfectly with the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper because of all the beautiful shades of green in this paper.
My next card began with a 1/4 sheet of another pattern from the designer paper but then cut in half. You will get 24 cards out of your designer paper with this layout …
Along with the pretty paper and beautiful ribbon, I’ve added a touch of texture to this card … the Tasteful Textile embossing folders. It adds such a pretty touch to the card.
The greeting comes from the Forever Fern bundle but the die cut circle comes from the Heartwarming Hugs product suite … you must check it out, it is soo cool.

I’m excited to share a NEW stamp set with you today! Yes, it comes with all the bells & whistles in the product suite; dies, designer paper, embossing folders … oh my!! But today, we are taking it back to the basics; Stamps … Ink … and cardstock. Simply beautiful.
The new Forever Fern is filled with beautifully designed realistic foliage, and will steal the show when you create with this set! This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. Just take a look …
So much beautiful foliage to choose from … I picked 3 different types of leaves, the speckles and the greeting. There are four ink colors: Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock.
The little skinny leaf foliage was stamped in Garden Green, I then stamped the “bushy” foliage in the Pear Pizzazz and the little leaves were stamped in the Shaded Spruce. The greeting and the speckles were done in the Pretty Peacock.
I love those little speckles … they really do seem to tie everything together so nicely and adds some dimension to a “stamped only” card. This is perfect for beginner stampers as you can get beautifully hand stamped cards with a small investment.
Those of you who have to have it all … well, that is there for you as well! With coordinating dies, embossing folders and embellishments, you are going to have a blast!!
We all need quick cards once in a while and this will fit the bill for either a feminine card or … you can most definitely make a masculine card with this set.
Enjoy your day, and I thank you for dropping in to check out my blog.
Here is a list of today’s card supplies: The Forever Fern will be available for purchase on June 3rd, when the 2020-21 Catalog goes live …
Yippee … it’s the weekend and I have a sweet -n- simple card to share with you today using the cutest little snail to mail! And our sweet little snail teamed up with the Many Messages Bundle to send you wishes from a grateful heart …
You know what they say “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work” … these two bundles pair so nicely together (actually the Many Messages stamp set pairs perfectly with any of our stamp sets!) Even the little stars and hearts came from the Many Messages stamp set.
Let’s begin with the soft warm glow behind our friendly little snail … I used the blending brush with Bermuda Bay ink to create an area to highlight our snail. Our snail was created using the dies and cutting from the designer paper… you also have the option of stamping your snail and coloring this little cutie any way you want!!
I have mentioned that the sentiments come from the Many Messages stamp set … a large grouping of sentiments that are stamped all at once, and can also be die cut all at one!! How easy is that …
I like to use my Stamparatus and then stamp multiple colors and create a large collection of sentiments that I can just select at a moments notice. I love to create dimension and texture on my cards so I popped up the sentiments, the snail and the stars and hearts.
These little snails are sure to bring the fun to the party or to let you know how grateful you are for having them in your life… both will bring a smile to your face.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog, I appreciate the company.

But with these carriers … you’ll be able to decorate all your letters and parcels with those adorable snails.
With the Snail Dies, mailing letters will never be the same again! The cute snail, mushroom and postal stamp dies cut of the stamped motives of the coordinating Snailed It Stamp Set. Additionally, you can also create a tiny envelope with one of the dies that everyone will love!
I created this adorable card to celebrate my granddaughters birthday …
The Bermuda Bay card base and Basic White mat are the perfect combination to make highlight the whimsical Snail Mail Designer Series paper … it just makes you smile! And so does the little birthday snail receiving the present.
