Enjoy Today

If you know me you know I love sunset (and sunrise). This project inspired by a friend of mine who frequently shares sunset pics despite being subjected to the “invisible vampires” (noseeums) we endure while enjoying Florida funshine.

There’s nothing like a day at the beach! Re-create that magic in your paper crafting projects with the Beach Day Stamp Set. Mix and match different beach-inspired images with Happy Birthday, Enjoy Today, Sending Sunshine, and Wishing You a Beautiful Day sentiments for happy cards and even happier recipients. Set up a beach chair under an umbrella, prop a surfboard next to a sandcastle, and so much more. The line art images are designed to be customized using your favorite coloring technique.

It’s a happy day at the beach when you’re crafting with these Beach Day Dies! Quickly and easily cut out beach umbrellas, surfboards, a lookout tower, sandcastle, water, and more. Pair the pieces to create a variety of playful beach-day scenes for your all card making and scrapbooking projects.

Hello

As soon as I saw it, I HAD to get the Hello Hollyhocks kit. The colors and flowers are gorgeous, but I also really love that everything I need to make 9 cards is in the box. That’s A LOT of fun for only $14. I veered away from the kit instructions and whipped up this cute alternative with just a few supplies from my stash. Grab a kit and Let’s Kit Together on the last Tuesday of the month on Zoom.

With colorful hollyhock designs, this kit’s all-occasion cards can help you send a friendly hello or a note of thanks to flower-loving friends and loved ones.

What’s Moo With You?

The “What’s Moo with You?” sentiment from the Cutest Cows stamp set cracks me up! I sat down to make create with this cute set and got so carried away with the cutness, I surfaced three cards later. LOL. I love when that happens. #papercrafttherapy for sure.

Holy cow! The playful bovines in this Cutest Cows Stamp Set will take your paper crafting projects to a whole new level of adorable. Mix and match the cow heads and bodies for multiple looks. The all-occasion sentiments pair perfectly with cute cows, flowers, and more for year-round card making. Try customizing the line-art images with your favorite Stampin’ Up coloring technique.

Build your own adorable paper cow with the Cutest Cows Builder Punch. One punch cuts out five different pieces: head, body, face detail, horns, and a piece that can be used as an udder or a cute little tuft of head hair. The separate pieces allow you to quickly cut pieces out of different colors of paper and customize your little bovine in any way you want.
