Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Time Marches On

Welcome to the March 2024 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Time Marches On! Just like in my last post, my project for this hop could be an Easter card, or just a Spring card. It features the Easter Bunny Stamp Set, and the Easter Bunny Punch. {you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}


I used most of the same projects for this card, that I used in THIS post. As with my last post, this was also really meant to be a 3-card set, but there is something weird going on with my hands today, so I'll have to come back to the rest of the cards later. The Lighter than Air 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, and the Baker's Twine 3-Color Pack all come from the Lighter than Air Suite. I'm not really into hot air balloons myself, but I really love these colors for Easter and Spring!

Stampin' Supplies: Easter Bunny Stamp Set, Easter Bunny Punch, StazOn Saddle Brown Ink Pad, Thick Basic White Cardstock, Lemon Lolly Cardstock, Lighter than Air 6"x6" DSP, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, Baker's Twine 3-Color Bundle, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin' Trimmer, Grid Paper.

We Create Blog Hop - March to a Different Beat



Welcome to the MARCH 2024 "March to a Different Beat" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our theme will focus on projects having to do with the month of March, or marching to a beat, or however each one of us wants to interpret that theme. My project today can serve as an Easter card, or just a Spring card, and it features the Excellent Eggs BUNDLE. {scroll down below the Blog Roll for ALL product purchase links}


This was really meant to be a 3-card set, but there is something weird going on with my hands today, so I'll have to come back to the rest of the cards later. The Lighter than Air 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, and the Baker's Twine 3-Color Pack all come from the Lighter than Air Suite. I'm not really into hot air balloons myself, but I really love these colors for Easter and Spring!

Stampin' Supplies: Excellent Eggs BUNDLE (stamp set + dies), StazOn Saddle Brown Ink Pad, Thick Basic White Cardstock, Balmy Blue Cardstock, Lighter than Air 6"x6" DSP, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, Baker's Twine 3-Color Bundle, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist (to clean red rubber stamps), Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin' Trimmer, Grid Paper. NOTE: You will also need the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine if you want to use the dies. And don't forget Basic White Medium Envelopes if you're mailing.

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Lovely & Sweet

Welcome to the February 2024 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Lovely & Sweet! Today I am sharing a card using the Bee My Valentine BUNDLE from the NEW 2024 Jan-Apr Mini Catalog to make a Valentine card, along with the Sale-a-Bration Most Adored 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (which you can earn for FREE!). {you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

To earn the Most Adored 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, you need to spend at least $50 on retail merchandise. The Bee My Valentine BUNDLE (which includes the stamp set + the Bee Builder Punch) is $38.50, plus a $13 package of Blending Brushes would get you the paper!


Did you get a chance to send out Christmas cards?? Everything is always so hectic for me over the holidays, and I've been terrible about planning ahead, so I didn't send out any cards. I always see Valentine's Day as a great second chance - not only are people more likely to be home to get my card in the mail, my card is more likely to stand out in their mail! I don't see Valentine's Day as a lovey-dovey romantic occasion focused only on intimate relationships. To me, it's just a day of sharing sweetness with anyone and everyone you want. I've always made cards and got little gifts, and of course chocolates and candy, for my kids on Valentine's Day. And it's a wonderful excuse to use all the hearts and love imagery and sentiments that I'm not ooey-gooey enough to really touch the rest of the year!

I specifically limited my supplies for these cards, but if you want to recreate them, you'll want the Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes for your card bases. As of the day of this post, that item is on low inventory, so you will want to click on that product picture under the Blog Roll to order them right away. There are 20 cards and coordinating envelopes in that package, and you could potentially make a whopping 144 cards from the free Most Adored 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, the way I cut the pieces! So, keep that in mind when you are shopping.

Stampin' Supplies: Bee My Valentine BUNDLE (stamp set + Bee Builder Punch), FREE Sale-a-Bration Most Adored 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, Pool Party Cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad, Blending Brushes, Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Paper Trimmer, Grid Paper.
