Thankful Hearts Stampers Dozen Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Seriously have to ask: Where is time going? I simply can't believe it is the middle of November already. I must be having some serious fun with time flying so fast.  But since it is November 14th, I'll pause to share a thankful heart card with you so you can hop through and see some other great projects. 

I decided to use the saying from the Autumn leaves stamp set because I like the grateful heart part of the saying. We should all have more grateful hearts. 

I also used the wing (aka heart) from the Bee My Valentine set that will be in the upcoming January mini catalog. It is such a cute set. I can see using the bee in a lot of different cards for so many different occasions.

I also used the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, which is where I picked my color combo from: Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath.  This card also is a quick fun fold idea. You don't even need to score if you don't want to. Just fold the card in half like you would for a regular card and then fold the front back to the middle crease. Easy peasy!

You can see the fold a lot clearer in the above photo. I added the hearts using dimensionals. The lighter peacock heart was stamped right after the dark peacock heart without reinking so I could get "2 colors" from one pad. 

Don't forget that the Seasonal Sale happening now until Thursday, November 16, 2023. Place your order online by clicking on my name below or contact me directly.

Using Up Those Scraps

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Sunday. You know what that means: Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping.

Do you ever get overwhelmed with all those scraps sitting around? Today, we're going to help you by giving you some ideas on how to create beautiful cards using those scraps.

I hate throwing away scraps of pretty designer series paper. This card design definitely helps use up a good amount of scraps while making a great card. I used any 1" strips of paper for this card. As you can see, some spots don't have much more than an inch in length used, so a little can go a long way.

Designing a card like this is very easy because all of Stampin' Up!'s designer series paper coordinates leaving you to do a little work with just finding a small image and greeting to add.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more scrappy inspiration.

See you soon,
