Lovely Blossoms - Hello Friend

Hello Stampers,
I hope everybody's Wednesday is going well! Yesterday, I started reorganizing my stamp room which ia always a fun job, LOL! I know I need storage I just have to figure out for what & if I can find as close as I can to size that I need, which is always the hard part. Wish me luck as I go down this rabbit hole!

Today's card was inspired by the Lovely Blossoms DSP, which has a few sheets with several images to each page that you can mix & match to use to make quick cards or scrapbook pages. I started with one of the 4 x 6 images & cut it down to size, then layered it on top of Secret Sea & Old Olive Cardstocks, before attaching it to a Crumb Cake Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used Basic White Cardstock stamping one of the sentiments from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle using the Secret Sea Ink Pad, then die-cutting using the dies in the bundle. Lastly, I added a few 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Banner Sayings - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by a Creativate Winter Tutorial that I'm just getting around to looking at since I forgot about it. YIKES! 

For this card, I chose to use the January product of the month, True Blue Florals DSP for the windmill looking background, which was then added to a layer of Night of Navy Cardstock & a Balmy Blue Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Bundle, stamping the sentiment with Night Of Navy Ink onto Basic White Cardstock before punching it out with the 3 Banner Punch then attaching it to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish the card, I used a few of the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

Friendly Foliage - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
I got a little overzealous with today's card, I started with a sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches #719 knowing what set I wanted to use then got stuck with colors, so I found a color combo challenge at CAS Colors & Sketches #576. I'm not sure if I've ever made a card using more than 1 challenge, but why not start off the year outside of my comfort zone.

I started this card with a Secret Sea Cardstock base  (not a color I've used thus far) then used the Lasting Linen Stamp with Secret Sea Ink to add some texture to the base of the card. For the strip, I used the retired Floral Impressions DSP, then stamped a sentiment from the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set using Secret Sea Ink. For the main image, I stamped the largest stamp from the stamp set, stamping it with Secret Sea Ink onto Cherry Cobbler Cardstock before die-cutting it with the Friendly Foliage Dies & popping it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few  to finish the card.2025-27 In Color Pearls

Lovely Arrangements - Hello Friend

Hello Stampers,
Happy 2026 everyone! It was a rough start for me since I was diagnosed with Influenza A- don't recommend it one bit especially if you have breathing problems like I do. I'm finally on the mend but really wish this cough would disappear sooner rather than later. LOL! I made a big change at the end of the year, which I hope will bring me to the craft room more & have lots of fun.

Today's card is inspired by one of the sketches in the new mini catalog, I used a few new Online Exclusive products to make this card, starting with the Lovely & Beautiful DSP. I cut down a piece for the background, then used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch out 2 circles, all 3 pieces were then adhered to a Fresh Freesia Cardstock base. Next, I used a small piece of Fresh Freesia Cardstock & stamped the flower from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set using the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad. For the sentiment, I used one of the sentiments in the stamp set, stamping it onto Basic White Cardstock with Old Olive Ink, then cut the ends in a banner. I attached the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals & added a few Low Profile Dots to finish the card.

Delicate Pines - Celebrate The Season

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by an early sketch of Martin's Mayhem 30 days Christmas Cardmaking Challenges.
I started with a Basic White Cardstock base then added a layer of Garden Green Cardstock that I embossed using the retired Winterly 3D Embossing Folder, then adding a strip of Pretty Peacock Cardstock to the top of this layer before attaching it to the card base. Next, I took a piece of the Elegant Pines DSP, die-cut out the snowflake from that sheet using the Delicate Pines Dies & die-cut an extra one from Basic White Cardstock to make it a bit sturdier. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Delicate Pines Stamp Set onto a Basic White Cardstock strip with Pretty Peacock Ink then cut both ends at a diagonal, before attaching a retired Garden Green Twine bow to the back & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a Faceted Snowflakes bling piece to the middle of the snowflake to finish the card.
