Sending Salutations - I Hope All Things Wonderful

Hello Stampers,

I wanted to play with a sketch I found online, with what I thought was a retiring DSP, but when I double checked it wasn't just the bundle & suite. I think this is beautiful with 1 side having the gold & the other side just patterned, I guess that means I need to play around with the bundle a bit more before it retires.

I started by cutting pieces from the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty DSP, then adhered them to a layer of Basic White Cardstock, followed by Petal Pink Cardstock layer & a Cloud Cover Cardstock base. I added some retired Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon, then added a sentiment from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set using Misty Moonlight Ink.

Sending Salutations - To A Marvelous Person

Hello Stampers,

I hope your week has started off great! Today's card was inspired by a Spring Creativate Pre-challenge which was for a sketch. 

I started the card using the Lovely & Beautiful DSP, which was then layered onto a retiring Peach Pie Cardstock layer & a Fresh Freesia Cardstock base. I wrapped around some white twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack before adhering the layer to the base. I used the upcoming Sending Salutations Stamp Set for the sentiment, using Fresh Freesia Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock, punched it out using the 1 7/8" Circle Punch & adhered it using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Fresh Freesia embellishments from the retiring Rainbow Dots to finish the card.

Silly Old Bear - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's Try A Sketch On Tuesday challenge. With this challenge I'm showing more sneak peeks of upcoming products.

I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock layer, where I added two strips of the 2026-28 In Color DSP before embossing with the 100 Acre Woods 3D Embossing Folder & layering it onto Cajun Craze Cardstock. Next, I die-cut an image from the Silly Old Bear DSP using the Sweet Words & Label Dies, along with a Cajun Craze Cardstock layer. These were then added to the previous layers using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set with Cajun Craze Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then using a single Stampin' Dimensional added it to the main layer, before attaching all layers to a Golden Glow Cardstock base. Finally, I added a few retiring Tiny Bee Trinkets with Glue Dots to finish the card.

SWEET OLD FRIENDS - T-I-DOUBLE GUH-ER

Hello Stampers,

Today is all about my favorite character & giving you a sneak peek to a new stamp set coming in May! I started going one way & then bounced my way in a different direction to end up making a shorter but longer slimline card, that will probably end up somewhere in my craft room. LOL!

To make my card I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, then used the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set to stamp Tigger all over the layer, then die-cut his name using Party Alphabet Dies. The background was then added to a Basic Black Cardstock base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached each letter using Stampin' Dimensionals back in the spot they were die-cut from which creates an eclipse look which is also what the technique is called.

 

I hope you have a lot of bounce in your step today!

Petals Of Beauty - You Make My Heart Smile

Hello Stampers,

I played around with a few last chance products & a few of the new In colors to make today's card, using a sketch I found online.

I started with Basic White Cardstock layer, stamping it with the Lasting Linen Stamp using Barely Blush Ink before layering it on a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock base. I took a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock cutting it to 3 squares- 2 small & 1 large, where I stamped the large & small flowers from the Petals of Beauty Stamp Set using Hydrangea Hue & Barely Brush Ink, then layered them on top of the same color cardstock. I attached the 2 smaller flowers directly to the background layer & the middle square was attached using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set, stamping with Hydrangea Hue Ink onto Hydrangea Hue Cardstock. I finished the card off using the 2026-28 In Color Dots in Barely Blush.

Easter Basket - Happy Easter

Hello Stampers,

I don't tend to either make or send a lot of Easter cards, but I thought this set was too cute to pass up & could be used for other occasions. An old Creativate tutorial inspired today's card.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock layer, then used the Simply Scored Score Tool to score two lines on all sides. Next, I used the Easter Basket Bundle to stamp with Pecan Pie Ink & die-cut the basket & all the items in it using Basic White, Pecan Pie & Shy Shamrock Cardstocks. I used the Pretty In Pink & Shy Shamrock Stampin' Blends Combo Packs to color in the eggs & bunny. For the sentiment, I used both the Shy Shamrock Ink & Cardstock, then fussy cut the banner ends. The focal point was then layered with Pretty In Pink Cardstock & added to a Shy Shamrock Cardstock base.

In Colors 2026-2028 - You Make Me Smile

Hello Stampers,

In the last week I have seen several cards just like the one I made & thought it was a sign to finally make this card that I thought about doing in the past.

I started with a layer of Basic White Cardstock & with a pencil I drew a wavy line before using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to follow the wave & emboss every 1/8". Then I used the Fragrant Layer Dies to punch out little flowers using the new In Colors - Golden Glow, Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue, & Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstocks. I used a retired stamp set to stamp onto the Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock with the Peaceful Pine Ink Pad then fussy cut them out. I used the Nature's Symphony Stamp Set for the sentiment stamping it also with Peaceful Pine Ink. Once I was done with this layer I attached it to a layer of Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock, then to a Basic White Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.
