StampingPals Challenge #9 - Dove of Hope

Image
   For StampingPals Challenge #9 (Christmas Theme), I immediately reached for the Dove Of Hope stamp set.  It seems so very appropriate in these difficult times to remind us all of the need for peace and hope.  The images in this set are clean and simple and I've loved every project I've made with it! The Tis The Season 6x6 DSP is so classic in color and design.  I find it so easy to use. Please hop on over to www.stampingpals.com and see what the others have created!  We'd love for you to join us in these challenges.  It's easy and a great way to get your creative flow moving forward. Enjoy! If you'd like to re-create this card, here are the supplies you'll need...

StampingPals Challenge #8 - Pack a Punch

Image
  Sometimes I overthink things and really need to just keep it simple.  I think this card works. For StampingPals Challenge #8 - Pack a Punch, the challenge was to use a craft punch to create our card.  I love the shapes that can be used without stamping.  This daisy can be used with or without the stamped images.  And I love the simplicity of it. The In Good Taste DSP is totally my fave this year and it looks great on all sorts of cards.  So classic! I love these challenges because everyone seems to have a totally different take on what to use and how to use it.  That's the beauty of stamping.  We can use the same idea and do it differently, or the same supplies, or whatever, and yet they all come out uniquely our own.  I hope you try it with us.  Hop on over to www.stampingpals.com and see what the others have created!

StampingPals Challenge #7

The StampingPals Challenge for September was to use at least three of the five new In Colors from Stampin' Up!  Does this mean I get bonus points for using all five?!  Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee. I love this Have a Hoot set.  And it's fun to change the theme of a stamp.  This image has a spider hanging down from the tree but hearts are nicer, right? Please join along by making a card and submitting it here:  www.stampingpals.com .  We'd love to see your creations!

StampingPals Challenge #6 (Sketch Challenge)

Image
The August Challenge for our StampingPals group used a sketch which was easy enough to follow.  Elegant and simple is always good, right?  I'll always keep and use this Timeless Tropical set since I live on a tropical island.  It's so perfect for any occasion.  And during this pandemic, I've sent loads of "just because" cards to family and friends.  There's not much we can do to make this worldwide situation any easier but we CAN send a little cheer in the mail. And if you are looking for a fun project, please hop over to www.stampingpals.com and join our monthly challenge.  It's so fun, and we'd love to see your creations. Enjoy!

Stamping Pals Challenge #5 - My Favorite Bundle!

Image
I always love looking through the new annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  This one has a special treat which just seems handpicked for me!  The "Nothing's Better Than" stamp set has awesome saying for those who love Coffee, Cocktails, Chocolate and COOKIES!  Since I started my own cookie business two years ago, I've been including handcrafted cards with each order as my thank you.  Now I have THE MOST AWESOME design ever!  I make amazingly delicious ginger snaps (in Original and in Spicy versions).  They are like none you've ever tasted.  And this stamp set is absolutely perfect for me.  Love, love, love! I did use the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper because, well, I have lived on a tiny tropical island for 28 years and my packaging and logo reflect that fact.  So, this is definitely my new favorite card, my new favorite bundle, and I'm happy combining my love for papercrafting with my crazily delicious cookies.  Oh, and my delicious...
