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.

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!

‘Tis The Season

November 13, 2025 · 2 Comments

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 created what I saw immediately when I saw this sketch –

I had to find the correct size circle for the snowman head. One from the Spotlight on Nature Dies seemed to work just fine.

For the eyes and mouth, I used the the tiny circle from the Gingerbread Man Dies. The tricky part was the carrot nose. The inside of the large letter A from the Party Alphabet Dies worked like a charm.

The scarf was created from the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

After looking through my holiday sentiments, this ’tis the season’ fit in the space nicely.

This is such an adorable holiday card! Don’t you agree?

Summertime Dream

June 15, 2024 · 1 Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features anything to do with summer!

To beat the heat of summer, I think of popsicles!

So I created a couple using the Modern Oval Punch and some mini popsicle sticks I found at the craft store! To give the melty, fun look, I punched them from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.

They look great on this circle from the Spotlight On Nature Dies, such a must have set of dies!

The backdrop is two patterns from the Online Exclusive Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper. Fun summer colors.

This is just so fun, bright, and cheery – great for a summer gathering, birthday, or just because!

Go forward to check out Melissa Davies, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Jive Five 2024 with Create with Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features all five new In Color on one card(s).

I created this simple card for a variety of occasions recently. This uses the Spotlight On Nature Bundle as the background stamped in Pebbled Path.

I added diagonal strips of the new In Colors card stock and corresponding Glimmer Paper for a playful use of the colors.

I decided to step up the card by adding the In Color Designer Series Paper instead of the card stock. This look pretty as well.

Which one do you like better?

I will feature the card stock version at my Open House on Sunday! It will be a hit for sure!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!
