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.

See you next week with more great inspirations!

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.

One Layer Cards

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 simple, one layer cards.

These are fun to create and are a true challenge!

I did lots of stamping to create this –

So lovely, pun intended!

I started with using my Stampin’ Write Markers for the rainbow background. The colors are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Blueberry Bushel, and Gorgeous Grape and can be found in the Brights and the Regal sets.

I then stamped the words and hearts in Memento. It always stamps soo well.

Clean, simple, lovely one layer card!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Our theme this week is CASing me!

I chose one of my favorite layouts and cards to recreate –

I gave this card a modern, March twist –

I say March because I went all green with my card!

This pattern paper is from the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper. It is a new Online Exclusive that will be available March 4.

The sentiment is also from an upcoming new stamp, Tags of Thanks.

Of course the ribbon and punch have been around for a bit.

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.
