Here is a sneak peek of the Fruitful Blessings stamp set. It is for #TGIFC434 where we are saying “Thank You”. This stamp set, Fruitful Blessings is in the upcoming Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. It’s a fun, fall set that is great to color. If you love your Stampin’ Blends, like I do, then you are going to just LOVE it!! I think what I love about it most (right now anyway) is that it’s …

Happy Friday! Today we have a Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath, and Parakeet Party color challenge for #TGIFC432. This was another interesting color challenge for me. At first, I wasn’t quite sure what what I was going to do with it. I flipped through my catalog of stamps and zeroed in on the Bird’s Eye View stamp set. The little birds in the stamp set are so cute! Although they are probably not parakeets, I felt …

I am delighted to be featured as a guest designer on Melissa’s blog today. …
Today I am using vellum with the Inked & Tiled bundle from Stampin’ Up! There are two cards and each one utilizes it differently. If you haven’t seen this bundle, it can be found on page 95 of the 2023-2024 annual catalog. It is part of the Inked Botanicals suite, but making it without the coordinating DSP, gives it a completely different look. These cards were made for my Artisan Design Team monthly project and …
I have a cute card made with Trucking Along for #TGIFC430 today. Our theme this week is travel. My Trucking Along bundle arrived this week, and I couldn’t wait to play with it, so this travel challenge was perfect timing! Although I am not planning any travel this month, this card reminds me of past travels that I have made. Specifically, road trips to go hiking. My husband and I like to explore different areas …
