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 –

Very fun sketch for this card –

A little turtle relaxing! (S)He is cut from the pattern paper, Turtle Y Cute Designer Series Paper with coordinating Turtle Y Awesome dies. The sides are also from the same pack of paper.

I thought Flirty Flamingo complimented the the turtles cheeks nicely.

This fabulous sentiment is from the Notes & Totes stamp set. Also very appropriate for the relaxing turtle!

Long Time

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 –

I always love the color combos we are challenged with.

This time I was inspired to use a new stamp set that will be available July 1st.

Sooo cute! It is the Long Time No See stamp set. It also has a cute Llama in the set.

I stamped the dog twice, once on Cajun Craze, then again on Cloud Cover, both in Cajun Craze ink. Of course, I handcut the dog and the sweater.

The Long Time is also from the stamp set.

I designed the inside to resemble the outside. It’s just too cute!

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 cards with a beach theme.

Of course I had to use the Notes & Totes Bundle as it is the perfect beach theme!

This tote bag is soo summer! The shells as well.

I combined the bundle with this pattern paper, Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper which is also has a summer feel. I used two of the patterns as the background, sort of resembles water and sand.

So sweet that this tote can be made to hold a gift card!

You thinking summertime beach feels now?

Sending A Little Sweetness

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 –

What a great layout! I used a mix of products for this –

The star of the card is the new Sweet Jar Bundle. These layered cookie stamps are so cute! I used Pecan pie for the cookie and Early Espresso for the chips.

These pattern papers – a cute mix that coordinates well. The check pattern is from an old favorite, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, yes, it is still available! The blue patterns are from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

Together, they help create a very sweet 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 fun with dots.

I really liked the new Turtle Y Cute Designer Series Paper, this dotted print was perfect!

And this grill – I hand cut this grill to create a fun Father’s Day card.

This card has lots of texture with the two embossing folders. The Forever Plaid was embossed on the lighter side of the two toned Pool Party. The Dotted Circles 3D on regular Poppy Parade. A fun way to highlight the pit.

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.

In Case You Need Me

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 –

Some wonderful purples!

I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle creating a card we can all use at one time or another. The set has some great sentiments. This is a favorite of mine.

I used a card in the annual catalog as my inspiration using the same layout.

The Beautiful Bokeh DSP and the stamped dots create a soft touch. It is a nice backdrop for the die cut butterflies.

Would you make and send this card?

Fun With Stripes

May 31, 2025 · 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 fun with stripes.

Again, I am literal. Lol! Playing with Floral In Bloom Designer Series Paper creating this –

Note two stripes here. Five stripes of pattern paper and stripes in one of the patterns!

Paired nicely with two beautiful floral dies, Pretty Florals and Impressions Abloom.

Since neither of those floral dies have a coordinating sentiments in the stamps, I went with the Blooming Phrases. There are variety of sentiments in this set that are just as pretty as can be!

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.

You’re As Sweet As Honey

May 29, 2025 · 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 –

A square card challenge – yay!

The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was my choice for this card. I have been trying to decide how to use this Sweet Jar Punch. And, then this idea came to mind as the jar looks like one of the pots of honey!

Naturally, this sentiment works beautifully.

Fun sketch. Fun card.

Plaid Fun

May 24, 2025 · 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 plaid fun!

I took this weeks theme literally –

I used three different plaids we have : Pattern of Friendship Die (horizontal and vertical), Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (embossed to look diagonal), and plaid pattern paper from the On The Go Designer Series Paper pack.

The simple, fun sentiment is from the newer Notes & Totes stamp set. I punched the diagonal paper to look like a straight plaid, then stamped it.

I had initially stamped the Cloud Cover card stock in a plaid pattern background, but soon realized it was retired. Sigh. Quick flip, and it still totally works!

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.

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 –

We are combining two new In Colors with a classic. I combined ink, markers, and blends creating this –

This is a new bundle, Inspiring Imperfections. A very serene bundle. And, I just love these words!!!

I stamped the sentiment using the new Secret Sea next to each other. This ‘torn’ piece is from the set of dies.

The embossed background is a neat mix of different textures. The white lines behind the vase are from the set of dies to resemble veining. It just gives such a feel to this card.

So glad to back with you’ll this week.

Soo many great papers! I must say, I really like the 6 x 6 In Color Designer Series Paper. I enjoyed creating these cards to show the paper off –

I used a stack, cut, shuffle method that I came up with.

I started with each DSP being 3 3/4″ x 5″ Made the above cuts. Shuffle the pieces. Adhere to a piece that is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.

Here is each card individual –

Cloud Cover Base.

Darling Duckling Base.

Secret Sea Base.

Strawberry Slush base.

Timid Tiger Base.

I used the Party Alphabet Dies in the In Colors too to ties everything together.

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.

Happy Birthday Party Piggy

May 8, 2025 · 2 Comments

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

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

Look at this cute lil’ piggie –

Adorable, right?! Anyone would love this birthday card I think!

This is the new Party Piggy Bundle, stamp set and dies.

I stamped the piggy, colored with Blends, then die cut it.

After I created the layout, I stamped each section, adding the festive details.

The stamp is curved because it is photopolymer and I bent before stamping it. It is great that you can do this with photopolymer stamps! Adds to the flexibility of them, literally. It does go back straight after stamping!

I also cut it by hand to get this nifty shape.

A Little Hello

April 17, 2025 · 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 –

I am excited as we will get lots of new products soon, and, new this year, lots of Designer Series Papers are carrying over! You can continue to buy them! Yay!

One of my favorites is this Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper –

All these images are from the pattern paper! Even the orange! I used the Citrus Bloom Dies, but it could have easily been cut by hand. I paired it with Lemon Lolly, a subtle, yet bright yellow, and Peach Pie as a card base.

The sweet sentiment is from Fancy Borders in Night of Navy. It just fits this card!

What I Will Miss The Most

April 5, 2025 · 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 about the products we will miss the most that are leaving.

There are lots of products that are retiring. I hadn’t taken the chance to use this Linked Together Bundle. So I decided today was the day!

The center lattice-like pattern, and the sentiments are from the bundle. It is soo pretty how this die creates a see through lattice window.

The beautiful cake is from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. A couple of the sheets in the pack are pretty die cuts. This cake is just lovely with the lattice.

These Neutral Adhesive Baked Sequins look great in addition to the gold accents on the cake.

This is just so so pretty!

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.

Easter Wishes

March 29, 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 is celebrating Easter.

I created a cute Easter card for y’all today. As a bonus, I am using older pattern paper. Look at what a sweet card this is –

This pattern paper is the To Market Designer Series Paper. These are the more subtle patterns that were very spring-like to me.

I used a simple layout, adding a stitched circle framing two bunnies.

To create the bunnies, I used the Meant To Bee Dies. I never saw bees in these dies, I always saw bunny ears. What do you see?

I see a cute Easter card!
