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 –

This is a great layout!

I went a little masculine with my card this week –

Although, it is really suitable for just about anyone!

I started with another one of the floral arrangements from the Artisan Sketched Garden. I cut the greenery and container by hand. I colored it using a combination of Stampin’ Blends and a Blender Pen.

I placed the image on a vellum circle with a strip of Designer Series Paper behind it.

To add some dimension and texture, this embossed leaf pattern matched quite nicely!

This would also make a nice sympathy card as the colors are very calming and serene.

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!

Just A Note

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 –

Great colors! I haven’t used Blackberry Bliss in forever. Time to dust it off –

The Blackberry Bliss Two Tone Card Stock creates a lovely dual colored flower! I used the Simply Beautiful Dies for it.

I placed it upon the multi circle die cut from the Lovely Arrangements Dies. For added texture, I used the Lovely Blossom Designer Series Paper.

The Cloud Cover pattern is from the Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper. I placed the two pieces going in opposite direction so the pattern is mirrored.

Such a pretty card! What do you think?

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!

Favorite January – April 2026 Designer Series Paper

January 10, 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 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!

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!
