I wanted to give a quick update on my moving status. We closed on our new home on Friday. But it will still be a couple of weeks before we actually move. Still cleaning out 27 years of things that have just been put away for a while. LOL! A ton of stuff that should have been thrown out years ago.
There have been some Online Exclusives that have dropped since I have been on hold. I hope you are checking these items out. There are quite a few new kits that have dropped and some wonderful ones coming.
If you have any questions or problems I am still available. Send me a message and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. A break will probably be welcomed!
Happy Stamping,
Jackie

You may have been wondering why I have not been posting. At least I hope you have missed my card ideas! LOL!! In reality it is nothing major. However I will not be posting for at least another month to month and a half. We are moving. It was a sudden thing and OMG the stress.
We are not moving too far away. It is still in the Metro Atlanta area. Just a bit further north. That said, you can imagine that my craft room is in the process of being boxed up. 26 years is a long time to accumulate Stuff!! This is making the process a bit tougher and the dumpster was delivered today. Oh boy.
So, I hope to be back before too long. I am still available by email to answer any questions you may have. Do not hesitate to message me and I will respond . That will be a welcome break I am sure.
Have fun and please continue stamping!

I have been on a “simple” card routine of late. Today is not really any different. I am showcasing a single flower paired with a sentiment to make you smile.
STAMPS& DIES
The focal flower today is from the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have stamped and Die cut the images previously, but not used the definition Die cuts. That is what I did today. I really love the detail on the cardstock flower. And adding the darker highlight really ups the beauty. And the matching detail in the leaves is just icing on the cake, or flower! I am so happy that I gave this set another look and studied it a little for all the possibilities. And there are more than what I have done today.
EXTRA DIES
To create the background for the flower as well as the sentiment layer, I turned to the Stylish Shapes Die set. This set is such a Go To for me. I love the layering Dies, and there always seems to be one that fits! The circle for the flower is the largest of the Circle Dies. And the banner for the sentiment is also the largest of that shape.
EXTRA STAMPS
This super sweet sentiment is a favorite of mine. For me, my cardmaking is to make me and others happy. So to get a smile from someone over a card I have made is my big reward. Naturally this sentiment would speak to me. And it is so nice to let those who do make us happy know about it. This wonderful sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms stamp set.
PAPERS
The floral DSP is what started the color choices for this card. And it is actually a back side of a large print. You know how I love using the reverse sides! This is from the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper. I pulled Petunia Pop from the DSP as well as the Bubble Bath. The green is Granny Apple Green and after using it for the leaves decided it was perfect as the card base color.
EXTRAS
To complete the card I only needed some bling. I chose to use the Flower Accents. There are a couple of different sizes of these. I went with the smallest and placed one at the flower center and the others on the sentiment layer. The mission was completed.

For a quick and easy card the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is a perfect fit. I have used one of the pages full of roses for today’s card. A little bit can be all you need for a wonderful card.
STAMPS
This beautifully scripted “birthday wishes” is a perfect match for this simple card. When there is a large image on the paper, or stamped, it only requires a suitably sized sentiment to complete it. This ones is from the Simply Said stamp set. It is an all sentiments set that has a little bit of everything included in it. I love having these type sets on hand. You can see all of the sentiments in the supply list image of the set.
EMBOSSING
The very detailed background I have used was made with the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder. This is a giant size folder. It could be used with scrapbooking as well as card making. I used a half sheet of cardstock and only had to trim a 1/8″ piece from the end that was not embossed. By using a half sheet, you have enough for two card fronts like I have, or multiple strips. I really love the rough detail this adds for the background.
PAPERS
There are several details to this card, but I believe these roses are the stars. As I said at the introduction, these are from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. Best of all, it only takes a strip to create a card as I have. I know flowers do not grow blue in nature, but I have always loved blue flowers. These are not really blue, just have shades of maybe the Cloud Cover. I still think they are beautiful.
To add to the blues of the card, I used Misty Moonlight for the card base and the rose layer. Then after having the roses against the Misty Moonlight, I really saw the Cloud Cover shades. So that is what was used for the embossed layer.
EXTRAS
There are three Extras today. First is the Nested Essentials Dies for the sentiment layer. These are such a versatile Die set with the rounded rectangle, a banner, and the Tie shape. All have several layers with each. For the second Extra, I added a single Rhinestone gem to the sentiment. And the final Extra is the Cloud Cover Ribbon. Just a strip around the roses and tied in a knot was all it needed to finish.

We have been having day and evening thunderstorms for a week now. I am very much over it! So when going through my stamps and checking on Last Chance Items to pull, I ran across the Playing In The Rain bundle. How very appropriate it is to use for today. Plus there are several items used on the Last Chance List at fabulous prices. The stamp and Dies are two of those.
STAMPS & DIES
This little fox guy looks as happy as I am about all of the rain. The other characters in the Playing In The Rain Bundle were very happy, so I decided on the fox. I know his coloring is not proper, but I am really not sure how a fox is supposed to look! And he is my little fox, so I can color him how I want. He is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. I used Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake for his coloring and Balmy Blue for the accessories. This Bundle is no longer a bundle, but is available individually in the Last Chance List. And they are a great price!
The fox and the puddles are die cut using the matching Playing In The Rain Die set. There are puddles that can be stamped, but I went the easy route with simply cutting them from the Balmy Blue cardstock. To complete the card front, I needed a place to put a simple sentiment. The one I chose is this simple one from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I chose not to use the matching Die for this one as it is really tiny. Then I would need another background for it. So I went to the Nested Essentials Dies and simply cut two of the banners. These are the two smallest ones. And a quick answer to the sentiment placement.
EXTRA DIE SET
There is an extra Die set that does not show well in the photo. I used the Textures Notes Die set to cut the two DSP layers. If you look closely you can see the edging around both pieces. These two Dies are the second and fourth largest ones. I love the extra little detail they give. The detail is much more obvious in person I promise.
PAPERS
The two gorgeous DSP pieces are from the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper. I will be playing with this fun Suite of products soon. But I have begun by showcasing this great paper. All of the other colors were pulled from the polka dot sheet.
To choose a main color was difficult. I ended up deciding on Balmy Blue for the card base and the color of the fox’s accessories. This is also the larger of the banners for the sentiment layers. And of course the “puddles” had to be blue as well.
EXTRAS
There are a couple of Extras. First is the bow behind the sentiment. This is baker’s twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack. It is on the Last Chance List for less than $5.00! That is a deal to be had. A simple bow helped the sentiment layer to stand out a bit. For bling I chose a variety of colors from the Muted Palette Dots. These are new in the Annual Catalog. There are four colors in different sizes. I chose to use three of the four colors as they matched perfectly with the colors on the card. They are not shiny bling, but fun bling!

I have been thinking about houses of late and having trouble with ideas for cards. So I simply went with the house as my theme. The Humble Home Bundle was perfect. I am so sad that it is on the Last Chance List though.
STAMPS & PUNCH BUNDLE
The Humble Home Bundle is one I love. It was one of the Christmas cards I sent out using the gingerbread looking house. But today I have used a brick house that you can build. I kept my house pretty simple. Except that it is a Blueberry Blue brick house. Painted brick is a thing now so I went with it. Having the punch for the house makes this set so easy to use.
EXTRA DIE SET & EXTRA STAMP SET
This card has Extra stamps and an Extra Die set for a sort of simple card. The tag and key are from the Tags To Go Die set. I love the large key tag like you used to get at hotels. They are bulky but much easier to find than the key card sometimes! And the key just seemed so appropriate as a companion. (I actually used the cut out key hole for the door knob on the house!) LOL!
The background design on the card is a stamp set that has taken me a while to warm up to. It is the Painted Stripes. It is a background stamp. I usually shy away from these. But I have seen some really cute cards made with it. It is a nice alternative to some DSP here.
PAPERS
The papers today are only a few and fairly simple ones. The card base is Blueberry Bushel to match my blue brick house. And the slim layer is Daffodil Delight. It matches the door and lighted windows of the house. But the special paper is the Textured Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper for the key. I chose the copper piece for a stand out look.
EXTRAS
There is only one Extra today. Although the copper key is a stand out! I used the yellow from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack. It is another item on the Last Chance List, and is a great deal for under $5.00. The simple bow was all the extra the card needed I believe.
