Reason To Celebrate

Grad 2026

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 –

For some reason, I saw ‘graduation’ is this layout. So I ran with it –

I started with the Reason To Smile stamp set for the two sentiments. For the GRAD, I taped off part of the letters before inking it up, removed the tape, and stamped.

I added the ’26’ from the Last Chance, Alphabet a La Mode Dies. These are a must have set of dies as they include letters and numbers!

The two squares were placed on a full card of pattern paper from Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Since this starts as a 12″ strip, I added a pocket for a gift card! I also added a piece of Basic White for a little thickness and support.

The tassel was one I had in my stash for grad cards, lol!

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!

All About Greetings

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!

We share various themes to inspire your creativity. This week, we are creating cards with greetings as the focal point.

Since graduations are around the corner –

I combined the Reason To Celebrate stamp set with the Party Alphabet Dies creating a fun fold.

And, fully opened –

I stamped repeatedly the word CONGRATULATIONS on both the front, and, the inside. When the front is folded, CON shows and the left, ans RATULATIONS shows on the right! Yes, purposely done!

Pretty cool, huh? Simple, but stunning!

Be sure to go around and check us all out to see how we used the theme this week! 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!

St. Patrick’s Day

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 –

Another great layout this week!

Since March is around the corner, how about this –

So, so cute! I combined the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Pleasant Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper creating a soft, sweet St. Patrick’s Day card.

The nice shamrock is from the Seasonal Celebrations. I used the new Stampin’ Positioner to stamp it. It works well to get a solid stamped image.

Need all occasion sentiments? The St. Patrick’s Day I used is from Reason To Celebrate. It has lots of great occasions to choose from.

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 –

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!

Who would you send this card to?
