One little stamp from the Hope and Prayer stamp set is what created the background on my white panel today. I began with a Night of Navy card base and on a 3¾ x 5 white panel I stamped the floral image in Night of Navy Ink to create 6 lines as a background panel.
I used a Blending Brush to add Night of Navy ink on all edges of the white panel. To another white panel (2½ x 3¾) stamp the dove and greeting and use blending brush to add color on all edges.

I really like the way this little stamp creates a background that looks like a piece of Designer Series Paper. Change up the colors and create a variety of Happy Stamping!

What is more exciting than new stamp sets! I am excited to share with you one of the new bundles in the 2023-2023 Annual Catalog, Cheerful Daisies. Daisies and Tulips are two of my favorite flowers and this bundle features a large, small and half daisy. Unfortunately there will not be a new Tulip bundle, maybe next time.

I began with a Crushed Curry card base and added a layer for Early Espresso and Basic White. I stamped the flowers with Crushed Curry and Early Espresso ink and the leaves in Old Olive. The greeting is punched with the Label Me Fancy punch that will soon be retiring.
The new catalog will go live May 1st, and while there s just one of the many new that are featured. There is still time to get some of the last chance products in the retiring catalogs. Just a reminder that retiring products are while supplies last.

I started with a Calypso Coral card base and cut a 2¾ x 4 piece of DSP that I mounted to a layer of Basic Black. I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the turtle and a few umbrellas. If you don’t have our Paper Snips, they are totally worth the investment. I tried cutting with another brand of small scissors and it just did not have the same smoothness and precision. Again, at only $11 they are totally worth the investment.
The greeting is from Nestled Friends and is stamped with Memento Black ink. I really love all the characters in the paper pack and in the bundle, but I think the turtle is my absolute favorite. He is both cute and mischievous-so stinkin’ cute. Happy Stamping. I know you will have fun creating with this amazing paper.

I just love the Happiness Abounds bundle and the sweet greetings in this stamp set and I know I use the happy birthday all the time, so today I am using the You Matter to So Many greeting from the Something Fancy Bundle, another great set. I will be mailing this card to my mother in law, who turned 91 yesterday. No it is not her birthday card, I sent that last week, but she does enjoy getting hand-stamped cards in the mail each week, even when it is not her birthday.
Perhaps there is someone you know who would love to receive a homemade card from you. Just click the shop with me button below and start collecting supplies today, soon you will be creating something beautiful to share with others.

I started with a Crushed Curry card base and cut an access strip of Crushed Curry for across the lower portion of my cards. The Designer Series paper is from the Hues of Happiness paper pack on page 132 in the annual catalog. I stamped the greeting on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and cropped it with the Label Me Fancy Punch. I used Stampin’ Seal Adhesive to attach the strip and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting.
This was a super simple card that not only uses minimal supplies, but comes together in about 5 minutes. So if you have a bunch of cards to send out, this is a perfect design for you. Happy Stamping!

When it comes to sending someone a hand-stamped card, you can never go wrong with flowers and a thinking of you sentiment. Today, my Thinking of you card begins with the Two Tone Flora Bundle and the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I chose Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze as my flower colors.

I began with a basic white card base and added another layer of white that I first embossed using the Painted Texture 3-D Embossing folder. I really love the white on white look. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and the greeting (7/8 x 2-1/2) in Basic Black.
I added a few gold pearls for some bling to compliment my flowers and that is how easy this card came together. Try stamping these beautiful flowers in different colors or switch out the embossing folder for the new Cane Weave folder for a whole new look. Either way I hope you have fun creating something beautiful today. Happy Stamping!

The Rain or Shine Designer Series paper featured in the mini January -April catalog is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love these little critters. They are so bright and cheery, even if it is raining.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Basic Black and then a layer of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front. Yes, I fussy cut Mr. Fox and the little flower bouquet, but you have to admit, they make the card. The sentiment is from Nature’s Prints featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

I believe that everyone needs a little hope now and then. The Hope and Prayer stamp set featured in the 2023 Annual catalog is perfect for sending a little hope in the mail. I hope my card today brings a ray of hope to you today. I am a firm believer that there is always room for hope, so if you are having one of those days, I hope my card cheers you up just a bit.

I began with a Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Sun Prints Designer Series paper. The first layer measures 4 x 5 -1/4 and the smaller layer measures 2-1/2 x 4 and is backed with a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8 panel of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel (1-3/4 x 2-3/4).

Sometimes one of my favorite things is to reach for one of our punches because they always seem to be so quick and easy when creating a card on the go. The star of today’s card is the Heart Punch pack featured on page 153 in the annual catalog and the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack on page 134.

This paper pack features three of our gorgeous blues, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and the new In-Color Starry Sky. For my card base and scallop heart I used the Night of Navy cardstock. The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and is stamped with Night of Navy ink.
I hope wherever you are today that you will make some time to create something beautiful and bless someone with a hand-stamped card.
