Floral Heart Anniversary Cards

-

Hi Stamping Friend,
Three more anniversary cards this week and we'll call them done for now. 😉
These are all basically the same card on different color card bases. On a couple of them I used some of the hearts that came out of the center strip when it was die-cut.

 Hi Crafting Friend, If you're looking to create a heartfelt handmade card that radiates warmth and strength, this project is the perfect mix of elegance and encouragement. This design uses a new stamp set that will be available on September 3rd . The  Love & Courage stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is a beautiful collection of sentiments and imagery that speaks directly to the heart. Paired with rich Mossy Meadow  and cheerful Darling Duckling , the color palette brings depth and joy together in one perfect harmony. The star of the texture show? The Pressed Flowers embossing folder . It gives the background a delicate, natural dimension that makes the focal image pop even more. The sentiments were stamped in Darling Duckling ink  with select words highlighted by going over them with a black gel pen , keeping the tones warm and consistent. The contrast between the deep green and the sunny yellow is bold but still soothing—perfect for sending love, courage, or a...

Pressing Pause: A Note on Creative Burnout

 Hi Crafting Friend, This isn't the easiest post to write, but it's honest. This week, there’s no card to share. No photos, no list of supplies, no clever sentiment stamped just right. For a while now, I’ve been feeling creatively… empty. Not in a dramatic, throw-all-my-stamps-in-the-trash kind of way, but more like a quiet exhaustion that’s been building up behind the scenes. Each week, I sit down at my desk — the one that used to feel like my happy place — and lately, it’s been feeling more like pressure than play. It’s creative burnout. When I first started sharing my handmade cards and blogging weekly, it brought me joy. I loved crafting something new, writing about the process, and connecting with this amazing, supportive community. But over the last six years, the rhythm turned into a routine, and then into a responsibility I didn’t quite sign up for. Creativity doesn’t always work on a schedule. And when you're constantly pushing yourself to make — even when th...

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the tre...
