Simple Stampin' Sunday with Amazing Silhouettes


Hi Everyone,
It's a wonderful and Simple Stampin' Sunday. Today I've created a simple and quick card (even though you do use embossing and die-cutting). The Amazing Silhouettes Stamp set and Amazing Thank you Dies are fantastic!


With the Amazing Thank you Dies, you can create so many different color combinations and use the dies for endless projects. I would suggest Adhesive Sheets for these dies. It helps with quick adhering.


Be sure to check out the Sale-A-Bration promotion. It ends in just one more day! I used the Sunshine & Rainbows 6"x6" DSP stack (Level 1 FREE pick) for the Granny Apple Green strip.


Thanks again for stopping in today. Let me know what you would like to see my post next. 

Happy Stampin',

Paper Pumpkin Meets The Paper Players Sketch Challenge


Hi Everyone,

Well if this card doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will. Thanks for stopping in today for my Paper Pumpkin and sketch challenge mash up. The Paper Players 579 challenge is a "Wild about wildlife" theme challenge. It is perfect with the Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin kit for February. It's a win/win!


The Paper Pumpkin, Safari Celebration kit gives supplies for 9 beautiful colored cards with matching envelopes. If you don't know Paper Pumpkin, you are missing out on this monthly fun. One of the things I like the best are the coordinating envelopes that are included. They are heavy and have coordinating colors to make your projects awesome!


Paper Pumpkin kits are also filled with wonderfully detailed cut-outs and embellishments. I love these milkly colored "stones" and detailed leaves. Well the roller skating elephant is cute too.


I am completely wild about this Paper Pumpkin kit! The elephant is cute, but what about this cupcake holding, banner wearing giraffe? Too adorable!


Thanks again for joining me today for my blog challenge card. You can see many other entries at The Paper Players 579 theme challenge


If you haven't tried the Paper Pumpkin subscription, I would highly recommend that you give it a try. You can sign up for a single month, or pre-paid for several month. Each kit is inclusive. This means you get an exclusive stamp set, ink, and all the supplies to create the designed projects. Remember, you can complete the kits as shown, or take more time to alter and create your own designs. Just subscribe by the 10th of the month to begin your journey with Paper Pumpkin. The March kit is special too. You will get 2 stamp sets in the kit. 


The March, Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin kit is going to be fantastic! The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit includes watercolor prints and designs inspired by the beautiful nature around us to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. And paper pieces that perfectly coordinate with the New Horizons Suite Collection in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog.

Rainbow of Happiness Products are a Hit!

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing some happiness with the Rainbow of Happiness products from a stamp set, dies, FREE designer series paper, and a fabulous cloud punch. I hope you love my card as much as I do.


I wanted to share this bright and colorful card today because we all need a little brightning up. The Sunshine & Rainbows DSP stack is a FREE Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item that can be yours when you spend $50. The clouds and rainbows are right from the designer series paper. 


I used a full sheet of the 6" x 6" cloud piece of the DSP. I used the fun cloud punch to punch out 9 clouds. The rainbows are also from one of the sheets of DSP. I fussy cut out two of them for my card. I also really like the rainbow tag die from the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. 


I hope you enjoyed my card on this Finding Inspiration Friday post. Remember that you can purchase the Rainbow & Happiness Bundle with the Cloud punch and then you earn the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP stack FREE. Check out my video for more details on this card.
