I am still on a mission to use the new core and in-colors launched in May. I have used Bubble Bath quite a bit, I have paired it today with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party.

As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024
I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .
So today I share, July’s Stars and Strips ~ with a quick and simple fun fold card!

Continue readingI like to introduce new colors to you and to pair them with colors you might already have in your stash. Today our new color is Pecan Pie, part of the refreshed Neutrals family and I have paired it with Petal Pink and a little dash of Old Olive for the leaves.
You all know that I love flowers and am always drawn to new stamp sets that feature them, especially if they have greetings as well! The Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set fits that bill perfectly and it particularly speaks to me as one of our Yorkie’s was called Daisy and we were especially close.

Continue readingLast year I shared a video on how to use the Cracker and Treat Box Die, and created one for different holidays. It was such a lot of fun that I decided to make one for Mother’s Day featuring the Sentimental Park Die to show that a cracker is not just for Christmas!
