Lovely Florals Everyday Arches


🌟 Welcome back, crafty friends! 🌟

It’s time for another week of creative fun, fresh inspiration, and all things cardmaking! Whether you’re here for new ideas, tips to spark your creativity, or just a little crafty joy to brighten your day, you’ve landed in the right place. ✨

Each week I'll (try to) share projects that are simple, stylish, and full of personality—perfect for sending smiles through the mail. So grab your favorite drink, settle into your happy crafting space, and let’s dive into this week’s cardmaking adventure together. 💌🎨

This week's card was created for a New Product card swap that I participated in with a group of demonstrators. We had to create seven cards, one for each swap participant, using only new products available to demonstrators during the pre-order period, and to do our best work. I loved how this card turned out, and I hope that you do too.

✨ The Road to Christmas Kit is here—and it’s only $14! This kit has everything you need to create beautiful, vintage-inspired Christmas cards that your friends and family will treasure.

You’ll be able to make 8 handmade cards (4 each of 2 designs), complete with coordinating printed envelopes.

Add the sentiment labels included in the kit, and you’re all set to spread holiday cheer.

All the colors coordinate perfectly with classic Stampin’ Up! shades like Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Real Red, Crumb Cake, and more—so your cards will look beautifully polished and full of Christmas charm.

Creative Inspiration with a Color Combination

Here's this month's color combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Gathering Together Suite Collection is one of the suites added to our Online Exclusives Collection this month. The scripted sentiments focus on gratitude, and they are accompanied by leaf and other forest imagery with coordinating dies.
 

A rectangle of the dark bark patterned paper from the Gathering Together 12" x 12" Designer Series paper measuring 3" x 4¼" was adhered to a layer of Crushed Curry Cardstock (measuring 3⅛" x 4⅜"). The 'Many Thanks' sentiment was stamped on Basic Beige Cardstock using Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Ink™, and then cut out using a circle die from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (measuring approximately 2¾" in diameter). The die-cut circle was adhered towards the top of the DSP rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

The three leaf images from the Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set were stamped on Basic Beige Cardstock using Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry ink, and die cut using the coordinating dies from the Gathering Moments Dies. These were then added at the base of the die-cut circle, using Mini Glue Dots™ and Stampin' Dimensionals.

The completed panel was adhered to a folded Early Espresso card base, and Loose Gold Sequins added as embellishments using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

In The Moment January - June 2022 Mini Catalog Sneak Peak

Hello, all! Thank you for joining me for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who share our love of card making with you through monthly blog hops with various themes.  This month, we are sharing with you sneak peeks from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog.  If you've come from  Mo Rootes'  blog, then you saw her project using the  Stampin' Up! Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (DSP) . I hope these and the other projects serve to inspire your creativity.   Speaking of catalogs, if you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a catalog, reach out to me. I'd love to get one out to you and to serve as your demonstrator. For my contribution to this blog hop, I chose the "In the Moment" set. I fell in love with this set, "In The Moment", the moment I opened my order and saw it.  This was another of the FREE swag bag produc...

Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is? Yup, you guessed it...masking!  There're so many things you can do with this technique from: simple masking to creating seamless backgrounds and adding depth...hmmm, I think I've decided to do a blog series focusing on the different things you can do with masking. For this post, I chose to start with a simple spotlight masking technique. Let me show you how I created this card. Now I incorporated several other techniques (dry ...

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
