Sweet Citrus Taco Fiesta Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends,


Today, I am sharing a bright & fun card I created

pairing the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder 

with the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set.

Yes, I know, both of these are retired.

However, I bet you have them in your collection.


I pulled this stamp set out and realized I had never used it.

I sat down and stamped and colored a whole bunch of the images 

so I could be ready when the inspiration hit.



This is the first card I created. 


Isn't it cute?!
I stamped a taco on the inside and added a strip of coordinating DSP.
I had an "oops" when some coloring bled 
so I covered it with a Lime slice.
There's always a way to cover your oopses.

January 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kisses & Hugs: A Very Vanilla & Gold Alternative

Hello my Stampin' Friends,


Today, I am sharing another Paper Pumpkin Alternative from the

 Love-Themed January 2022 Kit: Kisses & Hugs.  


This one was inspired by a card by Dawn Olchefske that I found on Pinterest.  Her card used a Crumb Cake card base and did not have the embossed layer so there is where my own "spin" comes in.  


I wanted a cleaner look so I went with the Very Vanilla card base.  

I already had the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder out for this card so I added an embossed strip to the binding.  I just love how this Love card came out.  



I coordinated the inside of the card and the envelope.

It really does make a huge a difference when you do this.

I always say: Never mail a naked envelope ;)

Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Alternative with Forever & Always Bundle


Hello my Stampin' Friends,


Once again, one of my main goals for the new year is to

Collect Less

Create More

Honestly, I know am not alone when I say that I find myself ordering 

"all the fabulous new stuff" only to have it sit on the shelf for... a year... maybe longer.  As exciting and fun as it is to "collect" I find myself getting very depressed when I realize how much I have that I've never created with!  Are you with me on this?


With that "goal" in mind, and Valentine's Day fast approaching, 

I dug out one of my favorite Love-Themed Paper Pumpkin kits: 

January 2022's Kisses & Hugs.  


Do you still have pieces of this kit leftover?

I have TONS!  

It was such an amazing kit!!!


This card only uses ONE of the card-base hearts from the kit 

one Vellum heart, and a tiny bit cut from an envelope.



I cannot begin to tell you how pretty this is in person.

I created a book-binding card base with some Blushing Bride cardstock (retired).  I used the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder to emboss one of hearts from the kit.  I used the coordinating die to cut a window from the center.  I added one of the vellum hearts, from the kit, behind the window.  I then embossed a strip of cardstock for the binding to coordinate with my embossed heart.



I used the same heart die to cut a piece from one of the envelopes that was included with the kit.  The Gold inlay is too pretty to waste on an envelope - don't you think?  I added this to my card base so it would peek through the window.  Over this, I added a Gold Foil "Love" cut with one of the Always Dies (retired) and a stamped "You More" from the Forever & Always stamp set (retired).  Wild Wheat ink looks pretty close to gold.  Amazing!
The inside panel has a strip of embossing to the left and I stamped a Wild Wheat Heart and a Blushing Bride Heart in the lower right corner.  I repeated this on an envelope so it all coordinates.

I really hope you can tell how pretty this card is!

It will be for sale in our Store 

and I hope someone will love it as much as I do

and purchase it for someone special.

Sweet Thank You CASE Card


Hello my Stampin' Friends,


Today, I would like to share a card that I CASE'd - originally created by fellow Demonstrator Ronda Wade.  I love the clean look of this card - featuring the upcoming Sale-a-bration Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper.  You will soon be able to earn this fun pack of paper for FREE with your qualifying orders.  Sale-a-bration is one of my favorite times of the year!  Who doesn't love FREE Stampin' Stuff?!


My cards are not "exactly" like hers... I used different greetings and added some Watermelon wedges that I had stamped and snipped and hadn't used on a card yet.  I love to create extra elements like these to have on hand.  They are perfect for finishing-off projects like these.


I hope you are as excited as I am for Sale-a-bration.

Be sure to pop over to my Project Gallery for more inspiring projects

and to order your stampin' supplies for these cards!
