Only two more days left to get those retiring stamps and bundles in the January to June 2022 catalog. Here is a review of a few cards samples for some of the retiring products.
If you like birdwatching you are going to love this sweet set. My parents have several birdhouses and feeders in their yard and they are a lot of fun to watch, but boy can they eat. While my mom was recovering from her chemo treatments, she loved watching the birds build their nests. I have to admit, it is quite fastinating.
Today’s card features two sweet birdhouses. I stamped each birdhouse and the birds on white cardstock, colored them with some Stampin’ Blends markers and then fussy cut them with some paper snips. The leaves and the greeting are stamped directly to the Basic White card front panel.

Hello my stamping friends……I’m back with another Make It Monday tutorial and apologize for missing the last two weeks. If any of you have ever lost a loved one, then I am sure you understand. As much as we love crafting sometimes you just need to take sometime off to be with those who need you most, but I am excited to share with you a sneak peek at the Fond of Autumn Bundle that will be available beginning July 1st.
Thanks for your patience and understanding-I am sure you are going to love, love, love this new bundle.

Today and tomorrow’s blog post is brought to you by my dear friend, Laura Rossmann. Thank you Laura for helping me get posted during this most difficult time.
From Laura-
I began with a Basic White card base and added the Artistically Inked DSP. Using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Artistic Dies, I cut out the group of flowers and leaves from Basic White Cardstock and adhered it on top of the Artistically Inked DSP.
I stamped the large flower in Daffodil Delight Ink and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz then cut them using the flower and leaf dies. I then filled in the center of the flower using the Wink of Stella and adhered them on top of the white flowers and leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the Thanks on the remaining Basic White CS and cut it using the tag die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. I adhered the sentiment tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For those of you who missed yesterday’s post, there will not be a Make It Monday video today. I hope to return next week.
Yesterday’s message
As many of you know my mom has been battling cancer. It has been a long and emotional week, as my mom lost her battle with cancer yesterday.
The good news is that she now has a beautiful place in heaven just for her. I am so grateful she is now resting in the arms of her Savior. I have been blessed to walk this most difficult journey with her and even more blessed to be able to spend the last 10 days providing around the clock care for her with some of my siblings.
While my day to day blogging continued during this time, I do not have the mental capacity to create a Make It Monday video for tomorrow. I do have my card ready to go for Tuesday, and after that some of my dear friends have offered to create blog posts for me. I will sharing their creations with you over the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your understanding!

The past few weeks have been filled with many blessing from the Holy Spirit, so how fitting that today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. As many of you know my mom has been battling cancer. It has been a long and emotional week, as my mom lost her battle with cancer yesterday.

Just thought I would share a card that I created for my stamping friends at St. Clement of Rome parish. I had the pleasure of stamping with a group of beautiful and talented ladies involved with the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary. It was an evening of stamping fun.
I chose the Hello Ladybug Bundle because I think these little critters are adorable and I love punches. Begin with a Basic White card base and add a layer of Black and Real Red to the card front. Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine and the Deckled Dies to crop a Basic White layer.
The leaf is stamped with Granny Apple Green and the greeting and accent dots in Memento Black ink. A few weeks ago I used this bundle to create some bees. CLICK HEREif you missed that post.

My card today was created with the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating dies featured in the annual catalog. I always love the distinctive ink sets and this bundle does not disappoint.
I love the softness of the leaves and regardless of what color I use, they always look great. Today’s colors are Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz and Cherry Cobbler. I began with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Cherry Cobbler. On another panel of Basic White I stamped the larger fern leaves in Old Olive and the smaller fern leaf in Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the smaller leaf several times.
Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop several berries and then finish off your card with a few black dot splashes. The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I hope you have fun creating-stamp something beautiful for someone! See below for a list of project supplies and our current host code.
