Sometimes you see a card that begs to be made! I saw a card by the Alaska Stamper and knew I could put it together with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set (carrying over to 2021-2022!). It’s a great feeling to be able to sit down and create something happy in a hot minute! … More Sweet Strawberry Birthday
There’s a sweet four petal flower image in Pretty Perennials. It’s a rather uncommon shape in the flower world but it’s quite charming on a card. … More Pretty Perennial Petals
There is such fabulous inspiration in the January-June mini catalog! Pretty Perennials was the first stamp set that caught my eye, and I’m an absolute pushover for black-and-white, so pairing those stamps with the True Love Designer Series paper was inevitable. … More Pretty Perennials and True Love

It happens every catalog…something is retired that catches me by surprise. I didn’t expect Beautiful Friendship to be on the list, though it’s been in the catalog since 2019 (oh, that seems a lifetime ago.) I’ve pulled it out to spend a little extra time enjoying these watercolor style images. … More Beautiful Friendship: versatile and romantic
My heart stopped for just a moment when I saw that Beautiful Friendship would retire with the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I’ve made so many cards with this set and I’ll miss these soft, color-saturated images and the sentiments that go with them. Today I’ll give you one last look at this Beautiful Stamp Set. … More Beautiful Friendship: April 2021 DIY
