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.

Check out the other Design Team’s use of these colors this week on our Create with Stamping Friends blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

Favorite New Designer Series Paper

May 17, 2025 · 4 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!

So glad to back with you’ll this week.

Our theme this week is our favorite new Designer Series Paper, or DSP.

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.

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

See you next week with more great inspirations!

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!

I created a trifold card using a new OnLine Exclusive, Impressions Abloom Bundle –

What I Will Miss The Most

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.

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

See you next week with more great inspirations!

Easter Wishes

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!

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.

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 fun, bright, cheery colors this week!

I used a new stamp set, Impressions Abloom, that will be available in May to create this card –

This great design was one of the layouts at the After Hours party on the recent OnStage event I attended. I adapted using these colors, adding additional layers.

I added a few of these Ombre Matte Dots to bring a little more of the Calypso Coral.

These colors are great for spring!

Wishing For Spring

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 Spring cards!

If you have been following me for a few years, you know I love a great tulip card. Usually created from something unexpected. Today’s card is no different –

My tulip flowers are from the Planted Paradise stamp set. Each stamp is double sided. I used the solid side for my flowers, leaves, and stems.

As a way to see how colors go together, I used Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, and the new upcoming In Color, Strawberry Slush. Yes, thay color may sound familiar as is an older color that has been brought back for a couple of years.

The Memorable Blooms sets the stage for my lovely tulips.

When opened, you see a little twist on what appears to be a simple card –

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 –

Look at this adorable pattern paper –

This is the On The Go Designer Series Paper. It is a fun, travel theme in pink shades and a returning color, Strawberry Slush. It will be one of the 2025-2027 In Colors.

It pairs well with Shy Shamrock. I die cut one of the keys in it and you can see a little peeking under the key pattern paper.

These keys and the key tag are from the Tags To Go Dies. Soo sweet for creating fun cards like this or ephemera too! The Strawberry Slush twine bow is just the cutest holding the keys and tag together.

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 CASing Connie Babbert.

You know I love a card with a grid pattern! And I found one to CAS –

This was a sweet holiday theme, I did another sweet holiday –

Easter!

When these Meant to Bee Dies cam out, this is what I first saw when I looked at getting these or not – bunny ears! CASing her card was my opportunity to make a bunny ear card!

I followed her colors and layout with a horizontal layout as the ears are wider than tall.

Needing a small sentiment, I chose one from the Choose Happy stamp set. They were the perfect size!

Such a cute, fun, whimsical card! What do you think?

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.

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 –

What a great color combo for some spring-like cards!

I started by stamping the background with the Painted Stripes stamp. Yes, it was tedious. I colored each stripe, then stamped. Repeated until I was finished.

I wanted a full sized, bold stamp to go over the stripes. This pretty tulip bunch from the Mixed Florals was perfect!

After I stamped the image, I felt the card still needed something. The Textured Notes make a subtle edging that is very nice.

Since I had the die cut machine out, I decided to add detail to the sentiment with the ticket edged die from the Grow With Love Dies.

I’d say a great spring card for a great person! Now, who will that be??

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 CASing Melissa Davies!

Out of so many CAS worthy items, I chose this card –

The School Days stamp set is new to the Online Exclusives. Look how sweet –

Wouldn’t this be lovely for a teacher card?

I used the new Textured Notes Dies to cut the Basic White and the sentiment.

I stamped the apples in Poppy Parade two times for two different colors. The second stamp, matches the Bubble Bath apple quite nicely!

The Petunia Pop center sentiment is just as sweet as can be.

The thank you on the card base is stamped in Bubble Bath also creating a subtle background of visual texture.

What do you think? Great CAS of her card, right?!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

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

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I finished off the card with these Shimmer Gems.

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 used a new Online Exclusive stamp, It’s Ok, to create this –

The stamp set has this lovely leaf and also butterfly. I loved the leaf stamped these different colors to create a mood.

After stamping all the leaves, I used a blender pen to add a little color the leaves.

Did you notice this sentiment? This set has wonderful phrases for those times you need them. We all need great sentiments for those difficult times. This will be your 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 CASing designer, Cindy Elam.

I found several cards I wanted to case! Ultimately, I also wanted to play with new product, so I chose this card to CASe from Cindy –

The only caveat is that we really don’t have newer pattern paper with Misty Moonlight or Night of Navy in them. I improvised with this –

Pretty nice, right?!

I didn’t have the previous borders, so I am so happy to have these. You can get these March 4.

This is also a new pattern paper, Lovely Garden that has several black and white patterned sides! Yay!

Opened, this card is so pretty seeing the cut border instead of a straight across cut.

What do you think? Will this be on your list March 4th when the new Online Exclusives release?

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!
