Some of my current favorite stamp sets/bundles are Online Exclusives.  Online Exclusives can be a little tricky since well, you can only see them online.  One way to make sure you see all the Online Exclusives is to go to my online store and under Menu click on Online Exclusives.   You will see a beautiful bundle called Mixed Florals, this bundle is part of a larger suite of products-Mixed Media Florals Suite.  The whole suite is gorgeous.  Today I am going to share a card made with the Mixed Florals bundle, Mixed Media Florals DSP, Elements of Text stamp set (Online Exclusive) and the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (free Sale-A-Bration gift).

• Basic Black CS card base 4-1/4" x 11"
• Boho Blue CS layer 4" x 5-1/4" (Boho Blue is a 2023-2025 In Color.  If you love this color be sure to stock up!)
• 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" Mixed Media Florals DSP
• Elements of Style image inked in Boho Blue 
• Floral image stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink colored using Granny Apple Green, Boho Blue, Flirty Flamingo,  Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends
• Image die cut using the Mixed Florals dies and adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals
• Black Bakers' Twine wrapped twice and tied with a bow
• Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (this white sequin goes with everything! A great Sale-A-Bration choice)

• Basic White CS layer 4" x 5-1/4"
• strip of Mixed Media Florals DSP 3/4" x 4"
• ladybug and flowers inked in Tuxedo Black Memento pad & colored using Boho Blue and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends
• lady bug and flowers cut out using the Mixed Florals dies

I am not sure who I will be sending this to so for now it will remain without a sentiment.

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week we have a color challenge and it is a beauty.

This week I have been using the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Pick A Season on my Facebook page  and decided to use it for this challenge.   During Sale-A-Bration you can earn this 12 piece photopolymer stamp set when you place a qualifying order.  

Isn't the tree so bright and cheerful in the challenge colors of Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green and Early Espresso?  I stamped and fussy cut the fence.  Fortunately it is a simple shape to cut out.  The hearts in the tree would have also made a cute Valentines card.  All the sentiments used are from the  Unbounded Love stamp set.

I have made this fold many times and you can see a video HERE, explaining the fold and the dimensions.  

You can check out the Sale-A-Bration brochure HERE.  

Be sure to stop by and check what the other members of the Create with Stamping Friends made for this challenge.

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a sketch challenge.

This week I am using the Terrific Toadstools bundle and the Toadstool Gardens DSP for all my projects.  It took me a bit to figure out how I was going to use the featured products with the sketch.

I used 3 different patterns from the Toadstool Gardens DSP.  This paper is so bright and cheerful and it is a Sale-A-Bration gift choice.  The DSP is 6" x 6" and there are 6 sheets of each of the 6 designs.  This  DSP definitely caught my eye and went on my order when I saw it.  It also coordinates with the Terrific Toadstool bundle in the Mini Catalog.  

Isn't it fun seeing 3 different patterns of the DSP on one card?  In retrospect i should have made the diagonal strips larger and further apart.  If I had done that it would have looked more like the sketch intended.

All the toadstools/mushrooms and the snail were fussy cut from the DSP.  The shapes are pretty easy to cut out so this wasn't very difficult to do.  Around the mushrooms I also added some sequins from the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (another fun Sale-A-Bration choice).   The sentiment was inked in Early Espresso ink. 

Inside I added a Basic White CS layer.  I had these strips of DSP so I used both of them to dress up the inside of the card.  I will  stamp an inside sentiment when I am ready to send out the card.  Love the "poppin' up " sentiment as it can be used for all kinds of situations.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Be sure to check out what the other members of the design team created for this challenge.

Welcome Friends to a new blog hop and a new year!  On the first day of very month we will share a calendar page.  The calendar we are using is a template created by the organizer of this blog hop, Anne aka the Maui Stamper.  The calendar measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" and is a fun size to work with.  

I wanted my January calendar to have a positive and motivating saying as well as being pretty.  I searched through my stamp sets and found the perfect  sentiment in the Round We Go stamp set from the 2024-25 Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalog.  I am excited for this new year and hope you are too!

I used the dies from an upcoming (January 7th 2025 release)  Online Exclusive bundle, Spring Corners.  I used the corner die and cut out the flowers in the corner of the Basic Black CS (2" x 3-3/8").  I filled in the flowers using another Online Exclusive (January 7, 2025 release), Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper.  I cut the die multiple times to get the different colors.  I love puzzles and so this technique is like doing a puzzle.  I find it fun and relaxing.

The Glimmer Paper is beautiful and the sparkle is so pretty embedded in the Basic Black CS.  Using the Take Your Pick Tool to pick up and place the Glimmer pieces makes this process much easier.

The sentiment from the Round We Go stamp set was inked in Versamark ink and heat embossed using the white embossing powder from the Basics Wow Embossing powder.  

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out all the stops on the hop!

Be sure to check out the January 7th Online Exclusive release for information about the Spring Corners bundle and the Patel Ombre Glimmer paper!
