Thank You

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

Such happy colors! Wonderful for a special thank you card –

Just look at this gorgeous flower!

It is from the Simply Beautiful Dies. I thought it would have been a lot smaller, but it is not! It’s large and lovely! I cut two from each color, Berry Burst, and Fresh Freesia, layering them together.

The vellum shape from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies creates a soft border behind the flower.

The Lost Lagoon leaves are subtle next to the flower.

I used a go to greeting from the Lovely Arrangement stamp set adding a multilayer twine bow.

This really is an extra special thank you card! I cannot wait to send it out!

I HEART You

January 31, 2026 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a heart, or many.

I created a simple heart Valentine filled with lots of love –

I featured the pattern paper, Love Notes Designer Series Paper. These papers are adorable!

I cut strips of coordinating patterns, placing them in a simple layout with a Cherry Cobbler border.

For a focal point, I found this double heart image that I handcut. I felt it was lacking, so I found this ‘be mine’ heart surrounded by flowers. I placed a piece of clear packing tape over the heart for added texture and trimmed away the flowers by hand.

Both sets I popped up on dimensionals for that little added *wow* to an otherwise simple card.

I love it. It makes me smile.

Be sure to go around and check us all out! We also love to read comments too. Take a few minutes to say HI, or why you liked our project for the week.

Next up is Melissa Davies, back is Cindy Elam. Keep going to see all of us.

See you next week with more great inspirations!

Masculine Love

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is masculine Valentine cards.

I created a whimsical card for my hubby –

I used tw0 different alphabet dies, Party Alphabet Dies for the WE, and the Mini Alphabet Dies for the smaller letters.

These Perennial Postage Dies were the perfect size to add a little interest to the card and fit all the letters within the size.

I purposely added the letters a little off or wonky.

This is just too fun! Perfect for your favorite guy!

Sweet Boy

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

Very sweet colors. Reminded me of colors for a baby card –

I picked a few newer products for the card. The circle with the cute bunny is from the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Paper.

The three double flagged card stock pieces are from the Three Banner Punch.

I embossed a piece of vellum using the new Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder. I placed it on a same size piece of Crumb Cake.

The Sweet Boy sentiment is from an older stamp set, Cutest Onesie.

A simply sweet baby card.

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is all about love!

I designed a sweet card that I could send to me friends for Galentine’s Day –

I may or may not be a little obsessed with this Sunshine & Tulips Bundle! It is just so cheery!

I added a little bling in the form of Silver Foil with the punched hearts from the Bee Builder Punch and the bow from the Easter Basket Dies.

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

It sure sparked my creativity –

This wonderful pattern paper is the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper. It has gold foil running through the patterns. It is so fun and playful!

I added stamped party hats from the Seasonal Celebrations stamp set to the two punched circles. It is pretty cool how you can stamp on Designer Series Paper!

The cool birthday word is from the Reason To Celebrate stamp set. This fonts is just wonderful in this set!

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is our favorite Designer Series Paper from the January – April catalog.

I chose a this gorgeous paper –

This is the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has pretty gold foil accents throughout the patterns.

I did not want to cover up any of this paper so a simple layout was perfect!

I used the Lovely Arrangements Bundle for the sentiment and the two die cuts. These circles are the coolest!

What do you think of this pattern paper? It really is lovely and beautiful!

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is our favorite bundle from the new upcoming 2026 Mini Catalog.

Well, I ordered new products a while back and the box has sat there longing to be opened! I opened it and was drawn to the Sunshine & Tulips Bundle as tulips are my favorite!

This was a great choice as this bundle just brought out my creativity!

This large die is awesome as the edges of the leaves can actually flipped up. I left them down for my card.

I chose simple, typical tulip colors for this adorably sweet card.

This sentiment is in the bundle and it just says it all!

Will this be on your list when the catalog goes live? It should be!

A Big Welcome

January 1, 2026 · 1 Comment

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

Since it is the start of the new year, how about a card for that?

I used some familiar products here, starting with the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper. This paper is more than a Christmas paper. It is quite versatile.

Next, I used the Branching Out Dies. They are must have for your craftry needs, cardmaking or scrapping.

The numbers have been around for a while, Alphabet a la Mode Dies. The size is perfect, and, numbers are included in the set!

Now the sentiment might not be too familiar. It is only part of a sentiment from the Cutest Onesie stamp. I just thought it was too cute not to use!

Happy New Year! Thank you for continuing to follow me and leave compliments now and again! Here is to another year of creatin’!

Christmas Tags

December 20, 2025 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Christmas tags.

I have been sooo wanting to do some cross stitch this holiday season, but I just haven’t had the time, or have I?

I have also been wanting to stitch on the pegboard from the Trusty Tools Dies every since I got it.

So I finally gave it a try.

I die cut both the Branching Out Dies and this pegboard die together.

I used the Shy Shamrock from the Pack Your Bags Twine Three Pack for the stitching, along with a size 27 needle. The needle was a bit hard to thread, but it was totally worth it! I did double it up to make it a bit thicker.

To finish it off, I added a piece of Basic White behind the stitching with the Foam Adhesive Strips sandwiched in between.

I added the Large Gold Loop on the back of the Poppy Parade as the loop to run ribbon through. Surprise, I haven’t wrapped anything yet.

I’d love your feedback on my creative use of the theme this week. It was soo much much.

Now I am off to stitch the other family initials!

Christmas Flowers

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Christmas flowers.

I always think of poinsettias, as I’m sure you do as well.

I used the stamps from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar and the dies from day 1 creating these fun flowers.

But the I didn’t know what to do with them. I decided to create a poinsettia tree with them!

This totally worked with these flowers I created!

The sentiment made the base. And a little punched star finished the tree off!

Black & Gold Christmas

December 6, 2025 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features black and gold Christmas cards.

Of course we have a black and gold pattern paper, Modern Christmas. Made it easy to create this lovely card –

I cut a square, then made a diagonal cut giving me two pieces for the top and bottom.

I stamped my sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas in the space between.

One of the patterns has all the trees in groupings. I punched one for the focal point backing it with Gold Foil and Basic Black.

Lastly, I adhered the Loose Gold Sequins filling in the white space a bit.

Soo pretty!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

Metallics always work well during the holidays.

I decided to create a holiday bookcase using the On Display Dies as I am decorating for the holidays! So I really got creative here!

First, I looked through any letter dies for the letters in the book case. I used three, plus the circle from the On Display. Those I cut in Gold Foil to stand out.

Next, I added elements found in a bookcase with cuts in Basic White. Since its the holidays, I added a couple of stacked trees using the A Little Cheer Punch Pack. These were the perfect size for this! And, of course me being a cat lover, I had to add a cat!

I’d love to read what you think of my card! This holiday bookcase was a lot of fun to create!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

The holiday season brings me J O Y –

I started by cutting these velvet letters from the Alphabet a La Mode dies. Then I went through my holiday patterns papers to see which patterns worked well with this dark green color.

I chose the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper. A pattern that had a lot of pink in it.

To soften the Pretty in Pink card base, I used a newer embossing folder, Beautiful patterns 3D, in vellum.

This card is light, bright, festive and just pretty!
